TOWNSHIP BONDS.
Cave Creek Township, Lancaster County,
Bonds Are InYalidated.
Especial e. Augusta Chronicle. :?

oDtClal " aug u9td NuIOuIC4e.
CHARLEsIcc, S. c., Feb. 28.-The
United States court to-day decided the
suit of the Massachusetts, and Southern
Construction Company VS.. the Tewn-
ship of Cave Creek, Lancaster County.
The bill was brought to enforce the
delivery OF Si9, 900 bonds of the town
ship, issued in aid Of the Three C's road.
TIE refusal to issue the bonds was based
on the ground that the amount was in
excess Of the per cent. constitutional
limit affixed to the Indebtedness Of mu-
inequalities. It was submitted on proof
that per cent. of the assessed Valua-
ton of the taxable property in the
township is SIS, $50, or $3.50 less than
the debt incurred. The court dismissed
the suit on that ground, taking the val
uat:on Of 1855, the da.e Of the act of
the Legislature creating the debt. The
court rules: "The act having created
debt obnoxious in amount TO the pro-
visions of the constitution, the whole
debt is invalid, and it is not competent
for the court to declare so much valid
as comes within the constitutional pro-
vision"
This throws out $4,000 of the bonds
i.,sued in aid of the Three Cs road.

The public schools Of Newberry
County will run on an average about
three and half months this year. The
term will be as long, or perhaps a little
longer than it has been for two years
past. \ great many Of the schools will
be aided by private subscription, which
will enable the schools to continue III
session six months or more. No school
should close within six months. If 1t
does, great injustice is done, not only
to the pupils, but to our State anG
county. 1t also does the teacher wrong
as he is thrown out of employment for
more than half Of the year.

History OF South Carolina.

We notice that two histories of South
Carolina are soon to be publlshed-one
bv Mr.. J. L. Weber. School Commits
sicner Of Charleston County, the other
bv Mr.. John y. Chapman, Of New
berry. The claims OF both OF these
gentlemen Will be presented to the
State Board Of Examiners at an early
day. We need better school history.
Davidson's history is the only one that
we now have, and it does not fully
meet the demand 1t is too brief, and
does not seem to be rs well suited 10
the average pupil as a school history
should be. Although it is the only one
we now have, and should be used on
that account ut least, III all publlc
schools, yet such is not the case. We
find a great many teachers who do not
teacn South Carolina history at all,
that is, no more than is found in the
United States histories. In conse-
ouence of this, pupils know as much
about the history of New York or any
other Northern or Western State as
thew do about that Of our own State.
When the new histories come out we
hope that there will be change, and
that the history Of South Carolina will
be prominent in our common schools.
1t ought to be at least.
