Either Cleveland, free silver, or low tariff
does not meet with popular favor. The pop

out Of business and their interests will be

looks as II the Republicans will have things
their own way in nearly every State outside

WAS THIS AN ILLEGAL MEETING?

Objection was made as TO the legality Of the
call OF this meeting. The law had not been
compiled with in the matter OF advertising
the meeting. The call had been published in
only one newspaper less than week ago,
when it should have been advertised for two
weeks.
The trustees stated that from oversight, and
not intention, the notice had been published
in only one OF the city papers for one week.
AS matter Of fact, II was the duty Of the
Secretary, Hon. Il. B. Gary, 10 advertise the
meeting. While fighting the battles OF Abbe-
vile In Columbia he had not thought of the

TEACHERS AND THEIR PAY.

About thirty-eight persons were present.
The advocates of the new ticket exhibited
much zeal in behalfof the nominees on their
ticket.
They thought that too many teachers were
employed, and that The price paid for their
services was too htglI. They also thought
$3.50 per month was too much to pay the jam
itor.
Others supported the trustees both as to the
number of teachers and the price paid for
their services. There were in the school last
year 2S5 pupils and seven teachers. The num-
Der of pupils last year warranted the trustees
in electing eight teachers for this year. But
owing TO the prevalence Of whooping cough
in the community some of the children are
not in school.

him or anybody, for the oversight.
WAS THIS A REpREsESTAT1vE BODY?

WAS THIS REPRESENTATIVE BODY?
The opponents OF the old board contended
that this meeting was not representative
body.
Tie reply was that there is no rule as to a
quorum. Other meetings have been more
slimly attended than this one.
WHEN DOES THE SCHOLASTIC YEAR BEGIN
1t was contended by friends of the new
ticket that the law requires the election to be
held at the close OF the scholastic year. and IL
was claimed that the close OF the school term
when the anniversary is celebrated, was the
proper time for the close OF the scholastic
year, and not early In the beginning OF tne
next session after the teachers had been elect
ed, and when the school had been fully or
ganiZed.
The trustees replied that the statute fixed
the scholastic year, the same as the pnoilc
school year. which expires on the 3lst OF Octo
Der, and that this meeting was held as near to
that date as was convenient.
IMPROPER TIME TO Fleet TRUSTEES AFTER
TEACHERS ARE ELECTED.
In the matter of the election Of trustees and
teachers it was contended that the utmost
cordiality and harmony should exist between
the trustees and the teachers and that oy
holding the annual meeting after the cleo
ton Of teachers and the beginning OF the seS-
sion of the school term that evident ana GER
tain injustice would result TO teachers trus.
tees and patrons Of the school. That The new
trustees elected by the people at the wrong
time might not work in the same harmony
with the teacher as they would DO under oeIier
and more favorable circumstances 10 hold
elections for trustees at this time was an In
Justice to any new trustee that might be put
on the board after the teachers for the year
had been chosen. Such new trustee wouio
practically be in office for one year before ne
would have any voice in the movement ol
the school.
THE OLD AND THE NEW.
The old board of trustees represent almost
every phase of life In Abbeville, and they
touch the people at every point. The propos.
ed new board Is not without ability, merit
and patriotism, and supporters OF each LICK el
are actuated by the same high impulses
which would promote the public good as they
see it,

Stood on It's Head and Waved It's Tail
in the Clouds.
From the Portland Daily Press.
No" said Capt. j. A. Crossman of South
Portland last evening, I'VE didn't encounter
the sea serpent but we had a strange expert
ence with a whale, and don't believe any
hody ever had the like before. I've been at
sea, man and boy. since was nine years old,
and never saw the like of the whale we en-
countered. never saw whale before that
didn't blow, but the one we met didn't, but
it did give roar that was awful
The schooner was about ten miles off Wood
Island and making good Roadway under full
sail, the mate. Merrill Crossman. at the
wheel. when there was sudden commotion
ahead. and then great head shot up into
the air and was on level with the deck.
One of the first sighted the strange
creature and called Capt. Crossman. and in
a moment all on board but the man at the
wheel were looking at the strange sight.
They saw before them an enormous head,
one mass of great punches, through which
| the wicked-looking eyes of the creature
cleaned. They expected the whale, if such,
would blow" but it did not then or after.
Once a harrow thread of what looked like
steam shot up, but not drop of water was
sent into the air. AS they looked at the
| creature it roared savagely, and then drew
| close up to the side of the schooner, giving
| them ample time to observe the head, and
| all agree that it was very broad; that it
tapered almost to point, and that 1t was
rot very thick through the thickest part.T
| creature was about seventy-five to eighty
| feet in length, and had very broad TAIL
very different from that of an ordinary
! whale. In fact at the time there We're three
| or four whales in sight, and they had no
( difficulty in noting the points of difference
| between them and the stranger.
| The great creature went down head first,
| and then made a series of attempts to strike
| the side of the schooner with its tail. 1t did
| not succeed and swan around them, roaring
| loudly in evident anger. Then it went down
| and under the schooner.
Capt. Crossman. who had watched for this
| movement, gave orders to be ready to lower
| the boat, fearing that the whale might come
| up under them and break them in two. 1t
was very fortunate that they were not forced
| to lower their boat, it proved later to be
i leaking, and would not have carried half
| their number safely to land.
| For more than an hour the whale contn-
, ued his remarkable acrobatic performance,
| standing on his head with his tail waving in
! the air most of the time. 1t seemed bent on
hitting the schooner, and it took the best OF
good seamanship to prevent an encounter.
At last the whale seemed to get tired of
what had been fun at first, and it headed for
the westward.

I have a friend who is very absent mind
ed. but who is very particular about his
personal appearance. He is fond of society
and is always welcome guest. Some
years ago he had the misfortune to lose
an eye, but even his most intimate friends
would not suspect the fact, so well does
he keep the glass substitute. But one even
ing last week his Observation-Disclosures caused
him trouble. Some dust had settled around
the artificial optic, creating an irritation
Of the lid. Forgetting that the eye was
glass and not firmly fastened as his
natural one he took his handkerchief out
while talking to a group of young ladies
at a reception and removed the dust from
his eye. Unfortunately the eye came out
with the handkerchief. There were some
feminine screams as he turned the vacant
orifice toward his friends. and my friend
now threatens to leave the city and locate
where the defect in his vision is unknown,
hoping that he can keep it a secret here
after.
