war fame, passed through here to-day

his family are now residing. He sill
wears his arm in a silken sling, where
it has been since he was painfully

Creek in January last.

seemed considerably faigucd from his
long trip across the Plains. He will
stay in Newberry for one week, and
will then go TO Charleston, where he
will Stay perhaps for three months. The
objects of his visit there will be to in'
vestigate the advantages possessed by
Charleston as a recruiting station. 10
this duty he has been assigned by the
war department, and it will take some
time to Investigate and report.
At present Lieut.. Darlington is on a
wounded furlough. Speaking Of the
Wounded Knee fight. be said to me

acted heroically. Before returning to
his command Lieut.. Darlington will

School Districts.

It seems that if we are to have the
county cut up into smaller districts We
will be forced to wait until the next
meeting of-the General Assembly. The
County Board Of Examiners have the
right to form as many districts as they
think proper, but at the same time
they cannot redistrict the county with
out the means to do so. The last ad-
vice that the commissioner has receiv-
ed is that it is doubtful whether NJ oney
can be used for the purpose without
special legislation.
There are some portions Of Newberry
County that could be made into small
districts with great benefit to the
schools. There are other portions
where it would not be of so much
benefit.
The County Board Of Examiners.
however, will entertain propositions
from any community to form itself
into q district, should the district to be
formed not injure materially the pros
perity of schools already in operation.

Teachers Institutes.

At the Teachers .eeting at Pros
perity On next SaturdaD-+I--7sr'7
of -hnldi-'~'7sz5oeu:
We have already had two institutes
in Newberry County, and those who
have attended feel that they were bene-
fitted.
We want trained teachers in our
schools. We want teachers who under
stand their work, and who are willing
to perform it faithfully. Experience is
a great teacher, it is true, but we can
learn a great deal from the experience
of others, and this will make our work
the easier.
If every teacher in South Carolina
could attend training school one year
or more it would be a great help to our
common school system. This cannot
be done, however. For those who
cannot attend these training schools
and they constitute the great majority
the institute is held.
Let us all go to prosperity and give
the association our approval of the in
stitute this summer.

We learn from Edgefeld that the
historic place, so long asleep in its clas-

derful things. Cotton factories, granite
uuarries and other industrial enterprises
together with new stores, handsome

will soon convert the village into city
of beauty and activity.
Edgefeld has always been noted for
the culture, refinement and elegant
hospitality of its citizens. Her men
have been renowned in war and in the
councils Of State; and now that the
sons of worthy sires are about to en-
gage more largely in commercial and
Industrial ventures, We do not doubt
that their talent developed in these
lines will bring them fame and for
tune.
Happening in Edgeield for single
night, about a year ago, we chanced tc
meet a number of the young men OF
the town who were making sick call
and, were we to express our admira
ton Of them, we should say that VIZ
we were simply - charmed. Be
cause of their handsome appearances
Yes. But more particularly for thei
modest and gentle bearing. On return

a unit in declaring that n moderate use
of stimulants conduces to long life. 1t
is also admitted that an old whiskey is
by far the best stimIlant that can be

On motion, Capt. II. II. Folk was
Reelected chairman, ". G. Cromer, au-
dltor, acting as secretary. \ report was
received from the different townships
by the members.
The basis Of valuation of first-class
stock was fixed at 500, but very few
changes were made in the returns.
In Township No. ; the minimum re-
turns for household goods was fixed ut
SD. IN The other townships there Was
no minimum amount fixed, the returns
being left as made by the individuals
or as raised or lowered by the various
township boards.
In regard to the return made by the
Newberry Bank the board desired all
the information il could obtain, and on
motion, MIR. r. L. Mclaughlin, presi-
Gent, was requested to appear before
the board. He did so, and after thor
oughly canvassing the situation the
board decided unanimously to leave the
return of the Newberry National Bank
as made by the president. The stock
is returned ut par.
The auditor will make a statement
to the comptroller-general in regard to
the action of the board on the bank re-
turn.
The board, after having spent day
of hard work and having accomplished
nothing, drew its pay and adjourned.
We mean by this simply that boards OF
equalizations are a useless expense
1nasmuch as the member from No. :
Was absent, the board authorized the
auditor to canvas the returns and equal
lie them with the assessments ia other
townships.
The auditor informs US that it is bis
opinion that the returns this year will
be largely in excess Of the amount OF
last years returns.
