A DRUMMER'S GOOD DEED
A LITTLE RAGGED GIRL MADE
WARM AND HAPPY,
A Dawson Knight Of the Grip Relieves
Suffering and Want
at Morgan.

The Morgan correspondent of the Cal
hOun Courier tells of the follow ing cpl
sode in which a we'll known and popular
citizen of Da Eson and poor, thinly
clad little CIR, were the central figures
"Some folks think when you say he's
a drummer that he's old Satan himself,
or at the very best he must be the old
fellows grandson, and he is at once con-
signed to the satanic region with a diet
of birthstone and bed of hot Goals. But
occasionally something happens that
makes them change their ideas of the
drummer; and so it happened one Gay
recently, when two prancing horses were
driven up to store in Morgan and Mr..
Dave Fargason, that clever, big-hearted
knight of the grip, jumped out. While
he was standing there talking to friend
'Lucius, the blind man of the poor farm
walked up, led by his little daue liter.
Now, this picture has become so familiar
to the people here that hardly glance
was bestowed on them as they passed
but something in the pale, pinched face
of the little girl, scarcely past her baby
hOOd, touched this man OF the world as
it had never touched the Christian peo-
Pile among whom she lives. He noticed
the faded, thin dress, the ragged little
shoes, the big pitful eyes, as she stood
there by the side of her blind father,
and perhaps the picture of another baby
girl arose as a vision before him-his
own little darling, safe at home, securely
sheltered in mothers arms. Be that as it
may, the big heart was opened and with
it the big pocket book, and when little
May, the poor house child, returned to
her home she wore nice, warm shoes and
carried material fer making nice, warm
dresses, and drummer had added
another star to the crown that awaits
him. A crown, did you say? Yes, most
assuredly, for do you not remember
what the Good Book says about those
who care for 'one of Gods little ones?' {"

NO MORE PARTIAL PAYMENTS.
COLORED PUPILS MUST PAY BOOK
FEE IN ADVANCE.
This Was Decided at Meeting of the
Board of Public School Commits
siOners Last Week.

For two years the board Ct public
school commissioners have not requirE
ed the pupils who attend the colored
school to pay the full amount Of the
book fee in advance, permitting them
to pay fifty cents a month until it was
all paid. The result of this has been
that great many colored children
have received the benefits of the
school aud free books without pay.
ing more than half Of the fee, and
some without paying anything.
But this has been changed now,
and in the future colored pupils,
like the whites have Eays been re-
quired to do, must pay the full fee,
which is $500 for the spring term,
in advance or furnish their own
books.
This was d cided upon at meeting
of the commissioners held last Tues :
day, when Superintendent Wright
reported to the board that of the near
ly lOO pupils IN the cOloIed school
who were getting the benefits of free
books a very small per cent had
paid any part of the book fee.
A resolution was vdopted instruct.
ing Superintendent Wright to mott
ty Principal Styles not to receive or
teach any child after February first
who had not paid the book lee or did
not have his or her own looks. The
resolution further provides that the
princi pal of the colore1 school shall
devote his time to those pupils who
pay the book fee, and that those who
furnish their own books be taught by
the assistant teacher in that school.
The colored patrons of Jhe school
say it is impossible tor many of them
to pay as much as three dollars at
one time, and they think The new
rule of the board wo Ks a hardship
upon them.
