l noticed a correspondent from
Kershaw, stated In your. last issue
that the patrons and trustees of
the graded school there are at
variance with each other. Isn't
it a great pity that such is the
case. l am sorry it is so, but
Kershaw is not the only school
district where the patrons and
trustees connot agree. We com.
mend the Superintendent of Edu-
cation for his wisdom in giving
the patrons Of the various school
districts voice in the selection of
their trustees. Considerable dis
satisfaction exists in our school
district, especially among the
patrons of the Bethel school.
There are two school house In
the distrsct, Newcut and Bethel,
and so far as l know, the Newcut
school is managed to the best
interest of all concerned. The
patrons are allowed voice in the
selection Of their teachers or any
other matter of interest to the
school and there is never any
kicking done butall are willing, to
be governed by. the will of the
msjority. But, / am sorry to
state that little ring is allowed
to boss the patrons of the Bethel
school, and the leader of that
ring is North Csrolinian. This,
Mr.. Editor, is the only reason
that we oppose the present board
OF trustees.
According to the request of the
county Superintendent of Educa>
tion the patrons of Bethel school
house met at the school house the
24th. inst, at 3 o'clock p. NJ, ;, for
the purpose of nominating trus-
tees for the district. But we
learned, when too late to attend
there, that, by order of the trus-
tees, the meeting would, be held at
the Marlborough mill. The trus-
tees only let the little ring know
where the meeting would be held
and those who opposed it necessa-
rily failed to meet with them. The
trustees may have meant for the
little ring to make it known
among the patrons of the Bethel
school where to meet but for a
purpose, it did not do it.
Trustees should not be bosses.
neither should they be bossed by
any individual. They have great
authority, but should use it in
carrying out the will of the ma
jority of the patrons, especially
when 1T would not prove detri-
mental 10 the best interests of the
school.
According to the constitution.
all men are born free and equal.
Nothing is priced higher by a
true American than liberty, than
freedom, and nothing griuds a
patron of a free public school
more than to be denied a voice in
the management of the same.

JOHN r. MCLEAN took notion
that he wanted the democratic nomina-
ton for governor of Ohio. He had
msnyIbarrels of money, 80 he prompt
ly went to work to get what he wanted.
He was successful. On the first bal
lot the millionaire proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer was nominated, on
q free silver-Bryan platform. The
platform endorses every plank of the
Chicago platform of 1896. 1t may
sound well to say that the Chicago
platform is endorsed, but when it
comes to printing the provisions of it
in full it looks very different from
what it did three years ago. AS one
democratic newspaper of old aud
standing expressed it at the
time of its adoption, 1.-THE platform
agreed upon is such a mass of false
hood, clumsy subterfuge, and deceit
that no self respecting democrat can
support it. 1t is characteristic of the
mob that framed and accepted it,

THERE is one ray of hope in the dem
ocratic platform adopted at GAINESVILLE.
Says the third plank: 1--WE recognize
connot be both republican and imper-
ial." Good! Our government is al
ready and has ever been republican,
and of course will so continue. There
fore the frantic cries of the SO called
anti-imperialists are quite without
sense and are but the vaporings of
demsgogues. It is we'll that the Ohio
ana have set forth this very obvious
piece of reasoning in their platform.

CARNIVAL
gathering

CARNIVAL talk is gathering
strength. A business man
yesterday remarked on the
busy appearance of the town, even at
this season, when the summer dull
ness" is usually supposed to prevail.
The streets, in the warm afternoons
as we'll as in the cooler mornings, are
full of people, walking, riding, and
driving, most of them there for the
purpose of doing business with our
merchants and other business men.
The present great activity in every
line is sure earnest of fall and winter
business that will be unprecedented.
But every dollar put into advertising at
this time will return several, and
every business man should take enough
active interest in the coming carnival

In good times it is said that there
are many more marriages than the
average. A lot of old maids in New
Jersey have organized to avert the
possibility OF their marrying, and
rigid rules and strict penalties are
provided for members who offend even
so far as being seen in the company of
q man. They want to abolish utterly
courtship and marriage. These old
maids will be about as successful in
stopping the practice of marriage as
the democrats will be to stem the tide
of republican prosperity.
