VAN WICK ITEMS.

News has not been passing this
way this week, or if it has, Op-
timus has failed to catch it. 1t
is a deplorable condition when
there is not enough news to keep
the tongue sufficiently employed
in passing 1t from nelghbor to
nelghbor and community has to
resort to gossip as n past time,
and many a time give an innocent
person a stab in the back, that
time can never heal. Some of
these gossipers are far seeing and
far talking persons. They can
tell all about person when he is
out of hearing or seeing distance,
but when they are brought face
TO face, their back bone is too
weak to stand the test, and they
know nothing abost what had
been said. 1t would take double
application of strengthening plast.
ers to get them in fair condition,
to explode in the presence of the
individual whom they have ma
ligned.
Van Wyck section is not al.
together free from the gossiper,
but he is abroad here in the land
as well as in other parts of the
country. The gossiper and chronic
grumbler are two characters, that
the country could we'll spare, but
it takes all kinds of people to
make a world. If they can not
be managed in anv other way,
humanity should build an asylum
for them, where they could be
taught to mend their ways.
There was called meeting last
Tuesday evening for the trustees
and patrons of Van Wyck school,
for the purpose of amending the
school laws of South Carolina.
When the object of the meeting
was explained, no one would own
to making the call, and the father
of it denied the child. The law
still remains the same. and the
progenitor of the amendments
will have to wait until he becomes
a mber of the legislature of
South Carolina, and then per
haps his movements will material
ize.
Van Wyck fishing club has not
reorganized this spring. The
weather aud water may have some
thing to do with it, but the gen,

with him the most of the fishing
spirit, and what little is left is
used in fishing on land and bids
to be fairly successful. One of
