of employment; but the question here
is whether or not the teacher can be
compelled to use the chart under a
teaching contract that did not original

Owning Their Own Cars.
The Herald, Saturday: The Rock
Hill Buggy company is always up-to-
date and in advance of its competitors.
Its business has increased to such an
extent that it has found it advisable
to be the owner of the cars in which
to ship its buggies when a car load is
consigned to one point, as is so often
the case. 1t has purchased from the
Mt. Vernon Car Manufacturing COM
pany, of Mt. Vernon, ILL.,, two large
cars having a capacity of As Grated
buggies each. They are each in the
clear As feet long, feet 7 inches wide
and 8 feet 10 inches high. They are
painted yellow and bear the company's
trade mark painted in conspicuous let
ters-"A little higher in price, but"
1t is also proclaimed to all men that
the company's plant has capacity of
10000 buggies annually.
The Assailants of Eli Rodiey.
Epp Mickey and Charley Elmore,
both colored, were committed to Jail
on last Monday on warrant issued
by Magistrate McEIhaney, of Fort
Mill. They are charged with assault
and battery with intent to kill, and
their accuser is Eli Roddey, the Negro
ditcher who was so badly beaten while
at work on Mr.. John Erwin's place,
near Fort Mill recently. Roddey re-
covered his senses on Sunday, after
having been practically unconscious for
ten days. 1t will be remembered that
he was discovered in an unconscious
condition by Mr.. Erwin OH Saturday
the 11lh instant. He says the assault
occurred on Thursday the 9th, and he,
therefore, laid out in the field three
days before he was found by Mr.. Err
win. Elmore is discharged volunteer
soldier from North Carolina.
The National Reform Association.
The address of Rev. w. H. McMas-
ter, D. D., one of the secretaries of the
National Reform association, in the
Presbyterian church last Friday night,
was not largely attended. There were
only about 25 people present. The
doctor, however, gave full outline OF
the objects and aims of the Reform as
sociation, which has undertaken d
laudable, but mighty task. In brief,
the association is agitating the idea of
having the United States government
to adopt and enforce the Mosaic laws
as laid down in the Book of Deuter-
onomy. DR.. McMaster gave his reasons
why Christ should be recognized in the
constitution of the United States, and
cited the Scriptures to prove that it was
only by close observance of the laws
of God, that this nation could continue
to grow in power and greatness. He
wants to teach the Bible in the public
schools. He wants a sacred observ-
ance of the Sabbath day, and he wants
the liquor traffic suppressed. His talk
was for the most part plain and prac-
tical. He did not attempt to organize
a local branch of the association. A
collection, however, netted enough to
pay his expenses to Yorkville.

ball company lost valuable horse in
