The lease system now returns to the

Is regarded as necessary from an eco

House Entered.

Burglars entered the residence of
Lewis Reed, at Huntsville, one
night last week, by cutting out
a pane of glass, unfastening the
window and raising it. The lower
rooms were ransacked, and some
clothing, the contents of a work
basket, and a few other articles
stolen.
From drippings on the carpet and
floor the intruders evidently used
a candle of red wax in lighting
them about the house. The oc-
cupants of the house were not
aroused from slumber, but in the
morning found the doors standing
wide open. The day following a
number of buttons, covered with
the red wax, were found in the
lumber yard of A. L. Duyckinck
q Co. The suppositiOn is that the
burglars overhauled their booty
at the warehouse and left the but
tons, which were identified by Mrs.
Reed as being similar to some in
her work basket.

Kent County Financial rluddle.

The finances of Kent county are
in muddle. Some weeks ago an
expert accountant was put to work
on the books and it was discovered
that a number of leaves had
been cut out and stolen by some
one, in an effort to conceal some of
the discrepancies in the accounts.
The Grand Jury held special ses-
sion last week to hear the account
ants report of the county's finances,
and as a result has severely criti-
cised the Commissioners for their
gross mismanagement of affairs.
1t was shown that over $50, 900 had
been spent on roads, and that
county expenses had increased over
$15, 900, without any special reason
therefor. The Commissioners are
held responsible for the safety of the
books, and they are called upon by
the jury to give a reason why the
the books have been mutilated
and stolen.

81: Cigar Stump HoIdup.

Some hal raising accounts of an
attempted ho1d:up were being cir,
culated at Woodlawn camp last
Sunday night. According toreports
a dark lantern was flashed in#the
faces of the occupants of one of the
Fbuggies as they were driving along
"a very dark piece of road near the
grounds and a gruff demand made
for ''your money or your. lfe!"
The horse bolted and thereby saved
both the lives and valuahles Of the
intended victims. When the truth
was sifted from the blood-eurdling
variations it revealed that a nervous
horse had SHE'D at a lighted cigar
stump thrown in the road by a
pedestrian returning home from
camp.

Cedar Springs Institute.

Mr.. Editors. The South Carolina in
stitution tor the education Of the deaf
and blind is beautifully situated four
miles south Of Spartanburg, near fhe
historic Cedar Spring.
This inetituti0n was founded in 1649
by Rev: n: p. Walker, father Of Prof.
N. F. Walker, who. for more than half
blind of the State by his wise and faith
erly management.
Before entering upon his gresS work.
the noble founder OF the institution
visited the Georgia institution for the
deaf at Cave Springs, where he learned
the manual alphabet and o few signs.
The years following 1849. with it's
handful OF pnpile, have seen wonderful
improvements in our institution.
The State has taken the work in
hand, and we now find 1873 students, "a
OF this number being cOlored.
In the school for whites there are As
blind etudents, the remainder being
deaf: The deaf boys are taught shoe.
making, painting and cabinet work, in
eddition to the school room course,
while the boye Of the blind depart.
ment seat chairs, make broome, brush
ea, mats, mattresses. etc.
The deaf girls do all kinds of fancy
WORK and those Of the blind department.
are taught bead work, etc.
Type writing on machine similar
to that used in Office work has recently
been introduced into the blind depart
ment. The New York point is another
eystem of writing. The authorities of
the institution Will gladly show visi-
tors their work, whose scope 10 too
great to be explained here.
Music Is an important feature in the
education of the blind.
The institution has q we'll equipped
gymnasium, where pupils of both de-
partments are instructed. It also has
O gp1S system of water works and an
electric plant.
The closing exercises Of the institu-
ton We're held in the auditorium Of the
building, Wednesday Gath ult. This
room, whose seating capacity is one
thousand, was packed. The crowd
twelve hundred. The audience was
cess throughont. The class exercises
were very interesting. Or course. only
partial exhibition Of the work could
be given. The audience that day
heard children, who knew not eound,
answer their teachers promptly by the
motion Of her lips. Another interest
ing number was the rendering OF the
beautiful hymn, Nearer Ny God to
Thee" sung by the blind pupils, fand
signed by class OF deaf girls who
were prompted in tho time of the snu-
sic by their teacher.
We hope that our Anderson people
will visit the institution in which our
County is we'll represented when op-
j. T. Mann.
