around White Rock are run three
and a half months, it is more
fortunate section than where [ live,
for the time scarcely ever exceeds
two months there. It makes me
blush with shame when asked by
friends how long the public schools
are run in my State.
Those two month public schools
do the poor very little good. The
boy or girl hardly gets started in
his or her books before the time is
out, and, because of inability to
continue, the Students compelled
to stop school. If the student
reaches "baker," he has done well.
When he goes again he gets to
"baker." Oh that eternal "baker,"
it has been the ruin of many
bright intellect.
So far rs I am concerned, Il
would rather see the abolition of
such system than to see so much
expense, for which the people re-
ceive but little benefit. This re-
ceiving of little benef: is just why
the people do not patronize the
public schools. Our people are not
so negligent about their privileges
as the writer would have US believe.
When they send their children to
the public schools,t are vexed to
see such little progress made in
the short time, and hence they
keep them at home.
I here assume the prerogatlve of
telling the writer that had I de-
pended upon the public schools of
my State to prepare me for the
position I now hold in college, I
should have been among the privi-
legged few who will rejoice with the
teacher at school at the breaking
of the millenial dawn.

Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Association of Edgefield Co.

At a meeting of the directors Of
the above named Association at
Edgefeld on Monday, the 10th day
of November, 1894, the following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, The condition of cir
cumstances which surround US to-
day renders every policy holder, or
very nearly every policy holder, of
our Association less able finan-
cially to pay the assessments on
losses, etc.; and, whereas, our
property in consequences of The
stringency of the times is of much
less value than when our policies
were issued; therefore be it
Resolved 1. That from this date
this Association shall not be liable
for more than two-thirds of the
valuation of property as estimated
and fixed in the policies of each
po1icy-holder.
Resolved 2. That in all policies
hereafter issued the property to be
insured shall not be insured for
more than one-half of it's value.
Resolved 8. That when, here
after q a,loes is sustained this Asso-
citation shall not be liable for more
than one-half of the actual value
of the property insured or de.
stroyed.

A Dastardly Deed.

Mr.. Jas. T. QUITS keeps the post
office at Elmwood, eight miles
north of our town, and runs store
in connection Herewith. On last
Saturday night some one rode up
to his house and hailed. Mr.. QUITS
came out on his piazza, when be
was informed by the person who
hailed him that he wished to 60 in
the store to make some purchases.
Going into the store Mr.. QUITS was
confronted by three men, who
presenting pistols, demanded that
he should open the safe. Being in
peril of his life with no fire arms
and no assistance, Mr.. QUITS COM
piled and delivered up to the three
men about 500 that was in the
safe. The robbers were evidently
white men but masked SO that it
was impossible to know who they
all were. This is, indeed, crime
80 das:ardly, so heinous, and so
alarming, when it is considered
that it may be the first one of a
series, that it deserves prompt and
vigorous efforts to find and punish
the miscreants. Gov. Tillman will,
no doubt, offer a liberal reward for
the capture and conviction of the
criminals. This is the first crime
of the kind we ever heard of in
Edgefeld county, and we have no
doubt that the public, as well as
the officials, will take hold of the
matter and ascertain who the
guilty ones are.

Mr.. EDITOR: In the last issue of

and space to insert the words

tempts to approach a proof-an
end-the road to which is precari-
GUS and dangerous. Just why the
writer used the word negative" is
more than can gay. I affirm that
our school system should be better
hence, what I said had more IF the
affirmative element in it than neg
ative.
/ am glad to know that my
friend has read the history of our
State, by means of which he un-
dertakes to prove our public school
system equal to that of any State

forefathers were educated III Eu-

MIR. Leitch's Meetings.


US sometimes of a little boys letter
to his mother, in which he said, II
cut Uncle Williams hens neck off
With hatchet, and she huttered
herself to death. I don't think she
ought to done it." Mr.. Leitch cuts
and whacks at the sill, and the
sinner does the hutterlng., If
there's any harm done it's because
the sinner will futter instead of
dying quietly Ito the SIM as he
ought to.
Mr.. Leitch's sermon on Sunday
night was perhaps the best of the
series. 1t lifted NEIL and women
out of themselves and their mental
and physical and moral beings into
whirl OF emotions impossible of
description or to be imagined
they must be felt. Mr.. Lnitch's
pen or rather word picture of a
storm at sea, the launching and
destruction of the life boats. and
the throwing of the life line to a
man overheard, was the most
vivid and realistic painting of q
dreadful narrowing scene on men
aud women's hearts we ever ex-
perienced. Certainly no one who
has witnessed a storm at sea can
ever forget it. Deep craven on his
heart it will last till memory be
dead.
Some things happen in all such
meetings and all such gatherings
that excite the risibillties, for in
stance: One day last week a man
stepped into our Office and COM
menced talking about the Leitch
meetings, and among other things,
he said that few years ago he had
a thousand acres of land, but be
became dissipated, and the most of
it slipped through his fingers, but
said he, II thank God that l stopped
in time to save my soul and two
hundred acres of land" He was a
elnm good man, t'o, sincere and
honest, although the juxtaposition
of the salvation of his soul and
his land, was to say the least of it,
slightly incongruous.
