the town pays over one-third of the
entire tax but receives only one-ninth
of the tax. Well, then, no one can
question that the town is aiding
the country, for the difference between
the amount paid by the town, 81, 1886,
and the amount received, namely,
$S46, goes into the country and is
distributed among the country schools.
That equals 81 ,94S 96. Remove this
2-mill tax, and then this large sum re-
mains in the town, because not COL
lected. But it is alleged that the s.
poll tax will run The schools nine
months, whereas now they are only
run three months. Let US see if that
is so. The auditor reports that he col
lected $S,026, being 81 head on 3,O26
people. Ir S3,026 is collected by 81
poll, then So poll will collect So, ,O7s.
It is known that the schools are kept
open three months of the year with
7,524.99, then how much longer will
they be kept in operation if $9,O7S be
raised? The difierenceint these amounts
is but 81 ,554, which would not run the
schools but twelve days more than the
three months. Calculate and you will
find this is true. I have shown ~
that the rich man is paying most OF
the tax to support the schools; ~ that
the poor man will have to pay the tax
if the law is changed; hence it will
work a hardship on the poor man and
make the rich man only richer to
change the law by paying 50 poll in
stead Of 81. Again, many Of our rich
men are over the age for paying poll
tax, consequently the removal Of the
2-mill tax will actually forbid rich
msn supporting the schools of the
country. The wealthiest men of New
berry County are above the poll age.
And this is called Reform! It is re-
form that means poverty, reform
that causes hardship, reform that is
spurious. Reader, think over these
matters; don't be carried away by feel
ing. Don't vote away your rights and
your liberties! I write this not as an
offce-seeker, but as a citizen and a
well-wisher of every poor man, every
man of moderate means in Newberry
County. w. E. PELHAM.

FREE SPEECH DENIED.

Maj. Murray, as one of the candidate;
for delegate on the Sheppard ticket il
Anderson County, attended a meeting
at Cedar Grove on Monday, expecting
of course to speak. When he arrived
Secretary Tindal was speaking. He
got out of his buggy and proceeded TO-
wards the stand, but several Tillman
ties forced him back to his buggy
some striking him. His only hope fol
his life was to leave the place, and as
be drove away they threw rocks al
him, some of them striking him, and
Others his buggy.
The Register says: ''Some turbulent
spirits did not actas well as they should
have, and abused Murray, and some
even struck him. A few rocks were
thrown after his buggy injuring il
somewhat. It is said Murray received
some bruises"
The other accounts say Maj. Murray
was struck in the back and shoulders
with rocks.
What has become of the freedom o.
speech and action that We were tc
have, and that has been denied US even
from the days of the Lords Proprietors:
Comment is unnecessary. Surely
the people of South Carolina will moi
uphold such proceedings.

For The Herald and News.
Poll Tax Studies,

Mr.. Editor: So much is said and
written concerning the proposed rails
ing of the poll tax to So, have been
led to investigate what will be the out.
come, as it Will affect the poor men of
this county when the change is made.
I refer when I say poor men to every
one who in these hard times, these
pinching times, is compelled to eeono-
mize "tO make ends meet" Gov. Till
man believe has proposed the increase
of this tax; it is certain he is advocating
the measure with his usual vehenence
upon the stump at each county meet
ing. Let ME ask at the outset. l. Will
this increase Of the poll tax work ben
eft or injury to the poor man? 2. Will
it not prove means of saving money
to the rich man and thus making him
richer? Let Us think a. we read and
form our own conclusi ms. Don't let
feeling actuate any one in deciding
these questions; let US think, and then
reach conclusions. The Governor plo-
poses to call for constitutional con-
vention to bring about this change in
tine law as it relates to the poll tax; it
is not to be effected by amendment to
our present constitution. If then the
constitutional convention repeals the
2-nlll tax now levied for the support
of schools, and in its stead establishes
a So poll tax, will the masses of the
people be benefited? Will the poor
man be saved any money? Will we
not find on the contrary that the rich
man will be saved q great deal of
money? Let US see. Under The pres
ent law-2-mill tax law-if man
owns 81 600 Of property be pays 81 to
support the schools; if $1,000, $40; if
$4,000, $50; if $4,000, $50, and 80 on.
And it is right and just and proper
that he should pay these sums because
education is the basis of all industrial
prosperity. and no man who has not a
shriveled soul objects to paying a rea-
sonable tax to foster and encourage
the schools of the country. Education
is the bulwark of our liberties and Of
our happiness as a people. It will be
observed then that the removal of the
2-mill tax upon taxable property will
require the enactment of the So poll
| tax law, which in other words will be
shifting the support Of the schools
from those able to support them to
those unable to do 80: it is manifest
that the men who own property pay
the bulk of the tax to support the
schools, while the poor man pays COM
paratively little.
Let US see what the town of New
berry is paying toward the sup
port of the schools and then see what
the town will not pay if the S. poll tax
becomes law. I fiad from the coun-
ty treasurer's books that Newberry
town paid last year 50, .36 for school
purposes, being the 2-mill tax. I find
from the books of the school commis-
sioner that the schools Of Newberry
County, town and country, received last
year S., ,s24.99. So it will be noticed by
every careful reader that the town Of
| Newberry paid more than one-third OF
the entire amount received by the
schools! I find furthermore that the
town of Newberry received Of the
school fund only SS46! In other words

SpARTANBURG, August 5.-The first
difficulty arising from political ditfe-
rences in this city occurred to-day be-
tween Andrew E. Moore and Eber {.
Allen, county chairman.
The county chairman named the re-
ception committee to meet the candi-
dates to-day. Mr.. Moore was sug-
gested as one of the Conservative rep
resentstives, but Mr.. Allen refused to
appoint him, on the ground of his eN-
treme bitterness towards the Tii!nan
faction.
MIR. Moore resented this as an insult,
and to-day, the men happening to
meet at Stanyarne Wilson's office, the
matter was brought up and ended in
8 personal difficulty. Mr.. Moore struck
Mr. Allen, knocking him out of the
door into the street. He then followed
him up and kicked him several times.
Mr. Allen offered no resistance what
ever, but walked off up the streets.

THROUGH TRAINS TO ATLANTA.
The Atlantic Coxst Line Inaugurates
New Passenger Line-Frcm Charleston
to Atlantis Without Change Of Cars.

Yesterday the Atlantic Coast Line
opened passenger schedule between
Charleston and Atlanta, which from
this time on will be continued daily.
The route is via the Northeastern,
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens and
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern
roads, and the distance between the
two points, three hundred and seventy
miles, ia co tered in twelve hours and
twenty minutes. This is the first
time in the history Of the city that
through coaches have been operated
from here to Atlanta, and it is fore
gone confusion that the new route will
be literally patronized.
In addition to the fact that the new
ronte offers such rapid and convenient
transit to the West it will attract
much attention, as it is the shortest
line between Charleston aud number
of points in upper South Carolina and
Northeastern Georgia. Some of these
points are Clinton, Greenwood, Abbe-
Vile in South Carolina, and Elberton
aud Athens in Georgia.
The train promises to open up a
most popular route between the city
and the West. The first train that
left this city to make the run carried
ten passengers for Atlanta and West

WEDNESDAY.

We arrived in time to hear DR.. Lam
der exp ain the uses Of more OF his de-
vices. His simple device for showing
the relations between diyisor, dividend
and auotien., and between denomina-
tor, numerator and value and for show
ing the change made when any one of
these is changed is good, but then all
the devices are that. DR.. Lander had
simple devices for illustrating fractions,
for teaching the seasons, tides and
eclipses, all within the reach Of any
teacher.
After DR.. Lander, Miss Chapman
gave the Institute an instructive talk
on Reading. Reading, she said, ac-
cording to Appleton's chart, was get
ting thought from the printed page.
There are two kinds of reading, oral
and written. One should read SO as to
be heard, understood, felt. IL begin
ming do not confine yourself to mono
syllables; use any word with which
the child is familiar. In teaching
words, use objects; failing these, draw
pictures of things. Never tell child
apple till it has said apple. Show ob-
ject; write name on board, then ask:
"What did the chalk say?" You will
always have the word pronounced.
Phonics bring about clear pronuncia-
ton. This talk was appreciated by all,
especially by primary workers.
Miss Chapman was followed by Prof.
Craighead, who gave the last talk of
the day. He spoke of Patriotism. Our
schools should teach love Of country.
Should reform the manners of oCr
country. As a nation we are terribly
