LITTLE MOUNTAIN.
A Delightful Village in a Healthy Section.
Salubrious Climate and Hos
pitable People.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN, Feb. I5.-Aboat
twelve months ago we were requested by
YOU to write up Little Mountain, and have
at this late day got the consent Of our
mind to undertake til task
And in the first place allow US to say,
by way of parenthesis, that newspaper
correspondence is something which, as we
grow older, we less and less admire.
Although, in years gone by, in the hal
cvon davs of vouth-when the mind was
naturally free from all worldly cares and
anxieties-we took delight in scribbling
for paper edited and published in your
town, known as the Progressive Age, yet,
rs life drags On, and the years roll by with
their many cares, we find but little time
for such work. But to the point.
Little Mountain is situated on or near
the -, n. & L. R. R., eight miles south
of Prosperity and twenty-nlne miles from
Columbia.
It has the most healthy and salubrious
climate in the State of South Carolina,
aud is named Little Mountain from the
surrounding hills. The town is beaut1-
fully laid off, the site comprising twenty
acres.
There are three general merchandise
and one drug store in full blast, flour
and grist mill, owned by A n. Boland; an
elegant ginnery, owned and operated by
W. c. Shealy 6: Co.; postofflce, tele-
graph office, express Office and depot, the
last four under the management of D. w.
Boland, a very courteous and gentle
manly young man. About one thousand
bales of cotton have been marketed here
this season, and, last but not least, hand
some and corn1nodious Lutheran church,
an ornament to the place, has recently
been erected.
One mile distant the Mount Tabor
school is situated, presided over by Prof
". A. Counts, with Miss Mary Monts as
assistant than whom none better can be
found.
The land upon which the present town
bids fair to stretch out was formerly the
home place Of F. II. DoIninick, but more
recently sold by him to 4. \. Boland.
The health of the town IS watched over
BY Dr.. J. N. Sease, a gentleman IN every
sense of the word. The surrounding coun-
tIv is settled I'VE were almost ready to say
by Shealys), but while the Sheaiy name
predominates, the Monts, Derlcks, Mil
lers, Feagles, Wheelers, Ful1ners, Rlsers,
Swittenburgs, Longs and not few Bo-
lands prevail.
Upon the whole, more thrifty, geuer-
ous-hearted people the writer never lived
among. Taught by hereditary law ''by
the sweat of thy brow thou shalt earn thy
bread" they obey the mandate to the let
ter; hence they make their bread and
meat.
Kind and hospitable to the stranger III
their midst, they are ever ready to lend
helping hand to every good and charitable
purpose.
But, if time will permit, we propose in
the future to give historical sketch of
this sturdy yeonanry, taking the Shealys
as our text, to commence with.
Grain crops in this section are not pros
pering, owing to the recent heavy freezes.
A larger acreage has been sown this sea-
son than heretofore. Money scarce cot
ton cheap but plenty Of corn. L.

OCR ANSWER.

Last week We received letter at the
postofice directed to ''E. A. Aull.
Newberry, S. CO.., in one corner OF
which was the word ''editir." So we
presume Is was intended for The Her
aid and News. 1t was postnlarked
"Cross Hill. Feb. TO-"
On the inside was clipping from
the Laurens Herald of February5 5.
Across the margin Ok The paper was
written the following:
"B. R. Tillman will be your mex
Govner. We wonder if you will howl
over dis, any way aire you a Radikil
or wat air YOU, let US hear from you."
There was also a hand pointing to
an extract from the Mountain City
Echo, about tax return comparisons,
in which it is undertaken TO excuse
Gov. Tillman's return by comparing it
with that Of B. F. Crayton, of Ander-
son.
nv uoL1O " oo d o0o'
Our answer to our unknown friend
will be brief. We have never howled
or made a similar noise about any
man, and do not intend to do so in the
future. We do not belong to that spe-
cies of animal which is given to howl
ing. Now, how about our unknown
friend? Will he howl for Tillman if
he is elected, or will be growl if he is
defeated?
No, we are not a "radikil," nor
radical, in any sense of the term. A
radical is lone who advocates a radical
reform or extreme measures i'll refor-
nation" The Herald and News is
conservative, and has always been so.
Our platform is simply this: To labor
within the Democratic party, which is
the white mans party in South Caro-
lima, for those things that are pure,
that are clean, that are true and hon
orable; for the right as we see it; to
fight evil in whatever form or shape it
may appear; to fight any man or set of
men who are trying to SOW the seeds
of discord, and whose sole object is
self aggrandisement and public office;
to be fair and just to all men, and to
give every man the right to differ from
US and the right Of free speech. We
do not hide behind a bush, but on all
public questions affecting the welfare
of our beloved State we express our
honest and conscientious convictions,
regardless of whether they are popular
or unpopular, bearing malice or i'll will
to no man.
Can our unknown friend stand on
that platform?
AS to Tillman, We opposed his NOM
ination two years ago, and there is
nothing in his public record to change
our views of him. When he was nom
mated We supported him. That is our
position to-day. We shall oppose his
nomination, within the Democratic
party, as is our right; but if he is the
choice of the majority of the Demo
Gratis Of this State, we shall acquiesce.
We do not propose to get mad or quar-
rel with anybody about his views. Let
US all get together now and elect
good man who can restore the unity
and harmony of the white people of
South Carolina, and all will be we'll
with US. We need to rid ourselves
of every element Of discord.
How does this suit you, unknown
friend?

NO MARCH CONVENTION.

The Herald and News is not on the
inside with any faction in our politics
in this State. We do not know wha.
is being done, nor what is intended tc
be done. We have seen some intima'
tions in the newspapers of a purpose
by those who are opposed to the re,
election of Gov. Tillman of holcing q
convention to suggest" candidate to
beat Tillman, or rather to be elected
Governor. We hope that no such
convention will be held. We don't
want to hear of any more March con-
ventions" or any more "suggested'
candidates. The one two years ago
has been enough to last US for the next
century.
We do not question the right of any
set of men to meet in convention and
Suggest" as many candidates as they
choose. We did not question that
right two years ago. But we do ques-
ton its wisdom now as we did then
That March convention and the Shell
manifesto is the fountain head of our
trouble and division.
Another convention this year will
only tend to widen the breach and
make the bitterness more bitter.
Let US appeal to the people, the
supreme power, to give us good men
to rule over US, and try to heal the di-
visions that exist among us, and for
bear from doing that which will widen
them.
True, Governor Tillman does not
need a convention to Suggest" him
this year, and there are good men who
will enter the race against him With
out being suggested" by conven-
ton.
Let the people demand State pri-
mary direct for Governor. Gov. Till
man can't consistently object to that.
Even if he does object to it the people
can have it if they want it.
The YORK Enterprise very truthfully
says on this subject:
"Give US State primary from Gov
ernor down, and let every candidate
stand on his own merits. Then, and
then only, will the voice Of the people
be heard with no uncertain sound.
Governor Tillman has the right to
announce himself as a candidate just
as any other citizen Of the State bas a
right 70 do. He must rely upon his
record, good or bad, and must stand or
fall by it according as the people en-
dorse or condemn it. Let other aspi-
rants for the guberpatorial chair come
out plainly, squarely and fatfooted,
and make the race upon the vital ques-
tious that affect the interests OF the
State. Do away with secret caucuses
and conventions within the party,
which only tend to bitterness and dis
ruption, and leave it to the people in a
State primary to decide whom they
will have to rule over them
Then let everybody vote in this p7i-
mary who will pledge himself to abide
the result.
We are opposed to caucus nomina-
tions. We want to see free, fair and
open fight conducted on high plane.

SENATOR IRBY AND DR.. POPE.
A Conference at tho National Capital on
South Carolina Politics.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Dr. Samp-
son Pope, of Newberry, is in the city.
He and Senator Irby had a conference
about State politics. DR.. Pope left for
New York this evening.
Senator Irby said to the State cores
pondent that the vote polled by the
Greenville News of the Democrats Of
each county in the State, as to the
standing of Tillman, was very encour-
aging to him. 1T does not matter
who will be nominated for Governor,
Tillman or any other Democrat, there
will be but one ticket in the field"
continued the Senator, "but Tillman
will Re overwhelmingly nominated and
elected."-The State.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
THos. w. KEITT, Editor.
The Teachers Association.

Tie meeting Of the Teachers Asso-
citation on Saturday lass was decided
success. 1t was with feelings of pure
delight that w. looked upon those
present and 81" zeal and determina-
ton depicted in their Intelligent faces.
There were about thirty present, some
OF whom had ridden fifteen miles, or
more, IN order to be present. This de-
termination on the part of the teachers
is worthy Of highest praise, and will
surely evenluate in keeping the New
berry County Teachers Association
abreast of any in the State.
There are still teachers in this county
whose names are not enrolled as mem :
bers Of our association. I appeal to
them to join us and aid is in The grand
work Of e!evating humanity. We need
The sympathy and ASSISTANCE Of every
teacher in our uphill! work. Come in
fellow teachers, let us all join hands
and march with sirried ranks against
our country's greatest fee ignorance.

PAY YOUR TAXES.
Comptroller-General E,lerbe's Mandates
as to Delinquents.
1The State, 18th.


The time for the payment of State
and county taxes expires next Satur-
day, and some lively times are likely to
precede and follow that day.
The comptroller-general has also
made his preparations for the close, and
he intends that no one shall escape
this year. Yesterday he sent out a
circular to county treasurers, in which
he stated "that after the goth of Febr-
uary treasurers will collect until the
9th Of March with the fifteen per cent.
penalty added. Immediately after this
last date treasurers wiIlissue executions,
against all delinquent taxpayers. and
at once turn them over to the sheriff of
their county and forward to this office
the date of so doing"
The treasurers are required to report
separately tee time of delivery to the
sheriff of all executions.
The railroads have not yet paid their
taxes in Richland, and Treasurer
Campbell has received no instructions
how to act in case the roads present
revenue scrip, asst is generally believed
they will do.

By act Of the last Legislature the
number of regents of the Lunatic Asy-
lum were to he reduced from nine to
five, and they were to cast lots for the
place, and it was to be done as soon as
practicable. The regents for various
reasons could not agree on this point,
and at the meeting last week seven of
those present decided to resign, and
their designations were accordingly
sent to the Governor. DR.. Tailey, OF
Columbia, did not coincide with this
view, and consequently he did not re-
sign. Col. Rhett was il! and not pres
ent.
The Governor has not yet taken any
action in the matter. There may some
very nice questions grow out Of all
this.

The Public School System.

In our communication of last week
We suggested several changes in our
school system which We thought might
render it more efficient.
We now desire to say a few words in
regard to the apportioning Of the pub
lie school funds. 1t seems to US that
the basic principle underlying the pub
lie school system is that the property
of the State shall educate the people.
The chief end of the system is to render
assistance in the obtaining Of an ed
ucation to those who are not able to
assist themselves. Does oui present
system ofapportionment do this? We
surely think that it does not. AS it is
now the very communities that are
able to sustain good school by means
of their own funds get the greatest
amount Of public money, and those
communities that, of all others, need
educational facilities, get the least.
Then conditions tend to depopulate
our rural districts. A great many Of
country people move to the towns in
order 10 get better school facilities.
These towns represent aggregated
wealth, and small tax, self-imposed,
provides sufficient money to have
a school open for nine or ten months.
In these centers of civilization, il we
may so term them, there is demand
for educational facilities, and the
ability to pay for them, and hence
they do not Deed the especial fostering
care Of the public. How is it in the
rural district? With az average school
population of from s. to 40, and an
average attendance much less, it is
impossible by the average attendance
plan to obtain sufficient funds to run
the schools long enough for the people
to see the good resulting from educa-
tional facilities. AS rule they are too
poor to supplement the public funds.
and the result is two or three montn's
school. The average school term for
this county in '90-'9l was 3.6 mon tbs, for
the entire State 3.5l months. Ofcourse
many schools must have been open for
less than 3.57 months, aud those schools
were rural schools. Can any one deny
that such schools need the nelp OF the
public? In order to be Of any service
they must have more funds. How are
they to get those funds? Let us again
look at the principle underlying the
public school system. The property
of the State shall educate the people.
This help should be given whom it is
most needed, and where it would do
the most good.
Then let US apportion the public
funds with this in view. We would
sugges: that instead of making the
average attendance the basis, that we
make the teacher the basis. In our
county the average pay Of teacher
last year was about $1C2. Now making
the teacher the basis, let there be set
apart to each school $50 per qualified
teacher, and the remainder of the
funds distributed upon average at
tendance. In this w&y we will give
help where help is most needed, and
we think we may confidently look for
general improvement of the masses.
