We sincerely regret that Gen. Bon
ham has suffered himself to become a
defaulter in his Office. He is young
man and had a bright future before
him. He was one Of the most popular
young men in the State. He had q
host of friends in Newberry and there
is universal regret at this sad misfor-
tune. The shortage is upwards OF
5000. This amount he says will be
made good and the State will lose
nothing, but the loss to him cannot be
estimated in dollars and cents.
The particulars are published else
where. a fuller statement is promised
from Gen. Bonham.
It is very dangerous thing to use
for your own purposes money that does
not belong to you, thinking that you
canreplace it. There was no intention
to defraud Oh his part when he used
these funds. But they should no have
come into his hands at all.
It is a matter of sincere regret to US
on Gen. Bonham's account personally.
The matter should have no political
effect. The disclosures would have
come who ever succeeded in Office and
the former administration cannot be
held responsible for the personal short
comings Of Ole man.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
The Public Schools of Newberry Count

The Public Schools OF NeWDerry county,
During the scholastic year lSs9-9O,
there were eighty-nine public schools
in operation in Newberry County.
School district No. 9 had the largest
number-sixteen, and Nos. y, l3 and
II the esmallest-two each. There were
l07 teachers in the public schools, and
of this number thirty-nine were males
and sixty-eight females. The average
monthly wages paid TO males was
Sl9.64, to females $3.50. This differ
ence arose from the fact that great
many of the colored teachers held low
grade certificates.
During the year the reports showed
a total enrolment Of ), 405 pupils, and
of this number ,933 were white and
SAP colored. There was an average
attendance of 3,23S, or about 80 $40
per cent. of the total enrolment.
The average attendance should have
been larger. Eighty per r/cent would
have been good showing. Parents
should endeavor to have their children
attend school more regularly, and
teachers should urge its necessity. We
must remember, however, that the
great majority Of the schools are in the
country, and children attending these
schools often have a long distance to
walk, and cannot be at school every
day, especially when the weather is
disagreeaole.
But it is useless to go into lengthy
report of the schools OF last Year. 1t is
sufficient to say that the schools of last
year are doing fairly we'll, when every
thing is taken into consideration. The
great need of the schools is more money.
There was only enough last year to
run the free schools about three and
one-third mopths. This is not long
enough, as every one must admit. The
schools should run at least six months,
and not until they run this long or
longer will the common schools ac-
compllsh the purpose for which they
were established.

The Governors Contingent Fund.

Especial to the News and Courier
COLUMBIA, January 17.-Mr. w. E.
Gonzales, Ex-Governor Richardson's 8
private secretary, called on Governor
Tillnlan this morning and the Cover
nor stated to him that he did not say
that the vouchers for the disbursement
ofthe contingent fund were not on file
in the Governors Office. He merely
told the press representatives that they
could see by personal examination Of
the Comptroller Generals report that
the statement did not appear there and
left them to investigate. This last was
said to the press representatives. 10
Mr.. Gonzales he said he had no fault
to find in the management of the office
of the retiring Governor. Inasmuch as
The News and Courier representative
was the one who sent out the report,
he frankly acknowledges that he mis-
understood Governor Tillman's state
ment, but must say that the impression
made upon him was as stated yes

Selection by J. A. L.
(From Harper's MONTHLY J

Y AOAAA S'SA -
''If I were to make an accurate pic
ture of Toronto, it would appear as one
Of the most orderly, well-governed,
moral, highly cultivated towns on the
continent-in fact, almost unique in
the active elements Of high Christian
civilization. The notable fact is that
the concentration here of business en-
terprise is equalled by the concentra-
ton of religious and educational ac-
tivity."
"The Christian religion is fundamen-
tai in the educational system. In this
province the public schools are Protest
ant, the separate schools are Roman
Catholic, and the Bible has never been
driven from the schools. The result as
to positive and not passive religious in
struction has not been arrived at with
out agitation. The mandatory regula-
tions of the provincial assembly are
these: Every public and high school
shall be opened daily with the Lords
PRAYER, and closed with the reading OF
the Scriptures and the Lords Prayer,
or the prayer authorized by the De-
partment of Education. The Scriptures
Shall be read daily and Systematically,
without comment or explanation. No
pupil shall be required to take part in
any religious exercises objected to by
parent or guardian, and an interval is
given for the Roman Catholics to with
draw. A volume of Scripture selections
made up by clergymen of the various
denominations, or the Bible may be
used, in the discretion of the trustees,
who may also order the repeating of
the ten commandments in the school
at least once a week. Clergymen of
any denomination, or their authorized
representatives, shall have the right to
give religious instruction to pupils of
their denomination in the school
at least once a week. The historical
portions of the Bible are given with
more fuiness than the others. Each
lesson contains a continuous selection.
The denominations rights Of the
pupils are respected, because the Scrip
ture must be read without comment
or explanation. The state thus dis
charges its duty without prejudice to
any sect, but recognizes the truth that
ethical and religious instruction is as
necessary in life as any other"

Some Of the newspapers are already
endeavoring to begin boom for Sena-
tor Hampton as candidate for Gov
ernor in 1892. We think it is little
premature. 1t is long time until the
campaign Of 1892, and We beg that the
people be given little rest. It is time
enough for selecting candidates and
booming them. Aud besides Gen.
Hampton does not need much boom
ing. so let US have little rests
Hampton holds a warm place in the
affection Of the people of South Caro-
lima, out there is time for all things,
and the time for bringing out guberna-
torial candidates has not come yet.
The Herald and News has always
been a strong admirer of Gen. Hamp-
ton and still is, but we are not yet
working any gubernatorial booms.
This is al off year IN politics in South
Carolina.

UNION, January 17.-Great prepara,
tons are dow heing made around Lock

new cotton factory there. Messrs James
H. Rodger & CO. Of this place, will, at
an early date, move their steam brick
manufactory to the Shoals, and will
manufacture brick for the building OF
the factory. Mr.. Rodger says he will
make at the rate of fifty thousand brick
per dav. A route is now being sur.
veyed from the site Of the factory to

and Columbia Railroad. AS soon as
the route is surveyed aud located the
grading will commence and the road
will be built right away.

THE MEETING TO-DAY.

Mayor Goggans, in accordance With
theinstructionso of tie council, has Issued
a call fora meeting of the citizens of the
town of Newberry to be held in the
Opera House this, Thursday, afternoon
to consider tie question Of lighting the
town by electricity. This is an impor-
tant matter aud if adopted means an
increase in the expenses Of the town.
There should then be full meeting.
The Herald and News has for several
years advocated this scheme. Our
town is poorly lighted. No one will
question that. And a part Of the time
the moon is depended upon to furnish
the light and 10 allowance is made for
cloudy nights. With this sort Of light
furnished by about IS kerosene lamps
the cost to the town is about 1000 a
year. Now the question is would it
not be>cheaper to add another 81 600 to
this and have better lights and have
them every night in the year. 1t may
cost less than $1,000 year for elec-
tricity, and we are inclined to think
that it would.
Those who have experience IN this
matter say that for our town with its
narrow streets and its many shade
trees that the incandescent light Will
be better than the arc light, and that
for our town it would take about 50 OF
these incandescent lights. One COM
pany has offered to furnish them at SIS
8 year apiece, making for the 80 lights
$1,000 year. We are Inclined to think
that lit will take about 100 Of these lights
which on this basis will cost $500 a
year. But these figures are only ap-
proximate. The details will have to
be arranged afterwards. Certainly the
cost will not be greater than indicated
above and probably less.
We are inclined to think that ar
rangements can be made to secure these
lights ut much less cost.
We ought to have in connection
with this electric plant a system OF
water works, and by combining the
two the cost might be reduced.
Not to 60 forward now will be to &C
backward
Let US have better lights and more
satisfactory lights.
Now is the time 20 act. There is nc
use for delay.

SACRIFIcING THEIR SKIN S.
The Noble Devotion Of One Hundred and
Thirty-two knights Of Honor in Chicago.

CHICAGO, January l5.-One OF the
most unique surgical operations on
record was performed in this city to-
day, and one hundred and thirty-two
Knights TenIplar gave the world
notable example Of fraternal love and
self sacrifice, made in order that sick
brother might be restored to health.
These knights each suffered loss OF
a piece of cuticle which was transferred
to Sir Knight John Dickerson.
A cancer which had attacked Dick
ersons thigh was removed some time
ago, but so deep and wide an incision
had to be made in the flesh that nature
Was unequal to the task of healing over
the gaping wound. The experiment
was tried of engrafting the skin of some
of the lower animals, but it failed.
The surgeon in charge announced to
Dckerson's anxious brethren that If
human skin could he obtained it would
in all probability save the patients
life and ensure his complete recovery.
The question was where to obtain suffi-
cient skin to cover IA square inches of
surface The matter was broached in
the Commandery and to man the
knights offered to submit themselves
to the necessary operation.
