SCHOOL ELECTIONS.

 Kinds of Ouarrels.

Fields for the Settlement of All
 Kinds of Ouarrels.
 The educational interest developed in the school election in this city last Sat urday seems to have been general throughout the county and territory. In the West End district seven miles west of town the contest between Hosea Greenhaw and Charles Pendergast for trustee was so warm that Greenhaw was elected by only one vote. A great deal of i'll feeling was stirred up and Pendergast threatened to contest the election.
 An excited knot of men from that locality, among whom was the defeated candidate, were engaged in discussion of the result at Goldman's corner yes terday forenoon. Pendergast and John MoZier became demonstrative and were only prevented by friends from en- gazing in personal combat.
 In many places the elections were made the occasion for the settlement of all sorts of disputes personal and poli- tical. At Yuma it was fight between the administration and anti-adminis- tration Democrats. The administra- tion men won, electing Trippel against the hot opposition of the other party led by H. W. BlaisdeIl and L. A. Hicks. Returns from few of the nearer and smaller districts were received at the county school superintendent's office yesterdaV

PrecociouS Fruit Trees.

MT. J. M. Vaughan living in Church ill's addition has a lot of phenomen- al fruit trees or rather they only show that the valley is phenomenal fruit growing region. The trees were planted last January and were two years old. Among them is peach tree which bore at the beginning of the season eleven peaches. Four fell off or were knocked off but the others matured and ripened into luscious fruit. This was not an isolated case. An apricot tree was equally precocious and several others proved that fruit the first year of plant ing is aD easy possibility.

TraVeIing Risks.

With the increased facilities for travel and the great number of travellers, there has been naturally a great in crease in the risk of accidents. Every one, who for any reason IS compelled to incur these risks, should keep by him a supply of Allcock's Porous Plasters, for they are wonderful specific in strains of the back or limbs, such as are al- most inevitable in case of accident. Anyone starting on a long journey should have one as part of his eoulp- ment. Commuters on suburban trains should keep them both at home and in

Politics in Newberry.

There are all sorts Of political rumors
afloat. States, combinations, trades,
unions, caucuses among the various
factions, by day and by night. With
cut endorsing, repudiating, contradict
ing, defending or denoupcing them
because of not knowing :'wnere they
are at''), we simply state them for
what they may be worth. 1t is hinted
that some alleged Reformers expect to
90 to the Legislature by Conservative
votes; that some alleged Reformers
have made bargain with Butterflies;
that few Prohibitionists would like
to 90 to the Legislature as proof OF
their devotion TO the temperance cause;
that the Conservatives are using the
Prohibitionists as blind and as tools;
that the Conservatives and Butterflies
will concentrate their strength on one or
more alleged Reformers; that there has
been q caucus of some Of the leading
Conservatives; that there has been a
caucus among the Reformers; that the
Reformers will unite on three certain
men who can be depended upon to
vote for Tillman for Senator; that the
Conservatives will all be Butterflies at
the proper time; that Keitt and Son
would both like to be Senator, and that
keitt or Son will be in that race; that
the Prohibitionists, anti-Prohibition-
lists. Conservatives, Haskellites, Till
NANTES, Populists, and those who are
simply anti anything or everything
lust for the sake of being anti, would
all like to know just exactly what the
others are going to do; that the Con-
servatives are playing 'possum game:
We don't know whether we have it all
down or not; or if any or all of it is
true or not; but we do know that nearly
every other man you meet with now is
politically untruthfai, 30 matter what
faction be belongs to.

DIR. POPE ON The D1sPENsARY.
An Interview in which Governor TiliInan's
Threats to Reopen the Dispensary Is
Sharply Criticised-Does not Wish
to See the People Stirred up.

from the Columbia Register.l
DR.. Sampson Pope came to the city
yesterday to arrange about issuing
writes of election for two vancant
Senatorships. The writs are to be
signed by the President Of the Senate
aud by himself as clerk in order that
the candidates for Senator may be
voted for at the coming general elec-
ton. Two Senators-Messrs. Hazard
of Georgetown, and Smylhe, Of Char
leston-have resigned, and an election
must be held to fill the vacancies.
DR.. Pope was seen by reporter and
with other matters the liquor question
was discussed.
"What do you think Of Governor
Tillman opening the dispensary, Doc
tor?"
II see by the papers that at Hampton
Governor Tiilman said that he would
open the dispensary in two or three
weeks. I am sorry to see this, as 1
think that it will irri.ate our people
and possibly may lead to bloodshed,
and + cannot see how he can do so
without the sanction of majority OF
the board of control. The Act of 1892
has been declared by the Supreme
Court to be unconstitutional and J.
think that it would be much better to
wait until the Supreme Court meets
in November and test the Act of 1898,
which Act is really about the same
as that of 1892.
There are cases I believe which will
come before the Court at that tune and
it would be better to wait until then.
The Legislature will then be in session
and if the Court should declare that
Act unconstitutional the Legislature
could pass an Act disposing of the stock
on hand and at the same time could
enact high license law. have favored
the dispensary, but had rather see it
20 forever than cause the loss of single
citizens or the shedding of another drop
of blood.
"Everything is quiet now, our peo-
pie are coming together, why disturb
this peace and quiet? It has been
demonstrated that prohibition does not
prohibit. At least, let the people have
chance at the coming election to pass
upon the matter and settle it for once
and forever

For Superintendent of Education
From the Columbia Register.

from the Columbia Register.1
Cur State needs a faithful, earnest
and energetic man for the head of her
common school department. She needs
a progressive man who knows the
wants of the public schools, ard who
will te untiring in his efforts to i'm
prove them.
We feel that Newberry County has
just such man. Mr.. T. w. Keitt, the
present School Commissioner of New
berry County, is IN every way well
qualified to make good and progress
sive Superintendent of Education, and
as one who knows bis worth we take
pleasure in suggesting him to the Dem
ocracy of the State for the position.
While. we fully appreciate the past
services of our present Superintendent
of Education, and give him credit for
all that be has doDe, yet we feel that
changes are frequently in the line of
progress, and in keeping with the spirit
of Democracy. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr.. Keitt will enter the race.
NEWBERRY COUNTY.
AN ENDORSEMENT FROM FAIRFIELD.
From the Columbia Register.1
I wish to suggest man for Superin-
tendent of Education, as the only
new candidate thus far for this most
important position (that of guardian
of the youth of the landry is wholly
unfit in morals as we'll as intellect. Mr..
Mayfeld may be offering for reelection
out of sense of duty though anxious
to retire.
The great problem before this State
now is the Improvement of the COM
mon country schools. An educated
gentleman who lives in the country
and farms, has been a progressive
country school teacher, and is now
County School Com missioner, distin-
guished for activity ia devising means
for the greater efficiency of the schools,
a young man in the prime of mental
and physical vigor, such is the man to
feel the educational needs of the farm
ers and of the State and to take charge
of our educational system at this time.
If there be such man, ST. additional
reason for his elevation is that worthy
school commissioner should be recog-
nized and able men encouraged to serve
as school commissioners. That man
is Thomas w. Keitt of Newberry. An
able graduate of Virginia Military In
stitute, belonging to family of the coil

of his friends and be barely knows me.
But one needs only to meet him 20

man-honest, frank, genial, intelligent,
practical and manly. 1t is hoped that
be will not stand back because of DIR.
Pope's candidacy for Governor. If DR..
Pope stands good chance Of election,
still We want the best man for Super
intendent of Education, even if we
have to honor Newberry, as it has usu-
ally been the lot of Edgefeld alone to
be hopored. It is hoped that the Re-
form papers will speak out.

PROVED RIs saEILD BULLET PROOF.
W. j. F. Leonard OF Brooklyn Was Tar
get for all 5-CalIbre Bullet.
New York Times.

W.J.F. Leonard of ofBrooklyn yester-
day strapped on his breast shield OF
his own Invention, with himself as a
target an with WilliamF. Richards as
marksman, proved that the shield was
proof against forty-fve-e -ealibre bullet
fred from repeating rife at distance
of thi1ty-slx feet.
This and other tests were made in
presence of a large number ofspectators
in Atlantic Park, Prospect Place and
Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn. A commit
tee examined the shield the rifle, and
the cartridge, and pronounce the test
genuine. The bullet s ruck the shield
about in its centre and penetrated it
not more than half an inch.
Mr.. Leonard says that the shock was
very slight, not sufficient, in fact, to
cause him to stagger. He showed to a
reporter-feF- the-Times a number
of bullets which had beed shot into his
shield. They were all hattened. Some
of them Looked as though pieces bad
been torn from them when they
peneterated the sheild, while others
appeared as if they has been melted, j.,
so great was the force with which they
struck.
Mr.. Leonard's shield, which be de-
clares has 40 iron, steel or metal ofany
kind in it, is made of combination OF
cotton, felt wool and a compound of
mineral and vegetable matter. 1t is
II inches thick, l3 by II inches on its
surface, and weighs II pounds. Herr
Douo,s o,eiohs 16 nOunds.
Before Mr.. Leonard adjusted bis
shield for the final test, he placed it
and another one upon dummies and
had five shots fired at them, none OF
which passed through. For the purpose
of showing in public the penetrating
power of the ammunition which he ill.,
tended to use be erected an iron-backed
target, consisting of tWenty-seven one
inch pine boards fastened side by side,
and had it shot at. The bullet passed
through the wood and drove the iron
from lis fastening. He then make the
test by wearing the SHIELD under fire.
Mr.. Leonard says that he has been
at work on bis invention for two years.
but not with the idea of having it used
as shield for soldiers. His invention
was originally to perfect something
that could be applied to men of-war 10
place of heavy plates. His invention
be. believes will be of immense value
when applied to light-buiit war vessels
as it will prevent penetration and will
add but slightly to their weight. He
said he would not have brought his
shield TO public notice at present bad il
not been for Herr Doves claim for his
bullet-proof cloth.
Mr.. Leonard lives with his wife ano
family in a cottage at Park Place ano
Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn.

THE PARTY'S WILL BE DONE.
II ought not to be prolong this letter.
IF what have written is unwelcone,
I beg you to believe in my good inten-
tiops. In the conclusion of the con-
ference touching the numerous items
which will be considered the people
are not afraid that their interests will
be neglected. They know that the
result, so far as these are concerned,
will be to place home necessarles and
comforts easier within their reach aud
to insure better and surer compensa-
tion to those who toll.
We all know that a tariff covering all
the varied interests and conditions of
county as vast as ours must of necessity
be largely the result of honorable ad-
justment and honorable compromise.
I expect very few of US can say when
our measure is perfected that all its
features are entirely as we would
prefer.
"You know how much I deprecated
the incorporation into the proposed
bill of the income tax feature. In a
matter of this kind, however, which
does not violate fixed and recognized
Democratic doctrine we are willing to
defer to the judgment Of majority Of
our Democratic brethren. [ think
there is q general agreement that this
is the party duty. This is more paipably
apparent when we realize that the
business of our country timidly stands
and watches for the result of our efforts

and certain turn of prosperity waits
upon a wise adjustment, and that a
