The Local Newspaper.

Maj. Jas. II. Bacon, the sage of
Edgefield, says some very true and
good things in his plain way. Here
is what he said about the local news
paper in recent issue and we agree
with him:
1t is to the interest of every town
to support a good newspaper, not
through local pride alone, but for
thorough practical business reasons.
A newspaper is constantly doing ten
times as much for its town as it
could ever hope to get pay for-more
than it could charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous paper is the
more it is able to do. Show us a
good weekly paper, full of local ads,
with a general circulation throughout
the county, and we will show you an
up-to-date, prosperous, progressive
community.

poor scholar takes his place in the regu
lar educational line and is no longer to
be pointed at as the poorest of the
poor" There is no discrimination now.
Since the war Mr.. Peabody has given
millions for the education of the youth
of the South, without regard to race or
color. Mr.. Slater gave million or more
for the education of the colored youth.
Then comes the "Ogden Movement
with very large sum for both races, as
we understand it. But, so far as we
know, none of these funds are given
directly for the education of the people.
They have been used for educating
teachers, etc., and for putting education
on its feet generally. The "Ogden
Movement" or fund, has not, on all ocoa-
sions, given unanimous satisfaction. We
notice that Rev. Mr.. Pell, President OF
Converse College, favors it and Prof.
Morrison, of Clemson College, looks
upon it with suspicion. We presume
our friend, Miss Shelor, can explain this
matter to the satisfaction of all.
The press, as usual, favors education
all along the linel The State asserts
that the slogan should be improved
roads, improved lands, improved
schools" That the most important is
Improved schools" and that these
eventually will bring us improved
lands" and improved roads," These
three issues are important to our wei.
fare, and should receive our earnest sup
port. We may have to go slow, but we
must get there all the same.
| Recently some discussion has arisen
in regard to using the dispensary tax in
aid of education. Excited persons call
this tax "blood money" and say they
will have none Of it. Under the law, as
it now exists, "local option" may con.
troll. The voters can vote the dispensary
out or in, as the case may be, and we
favor this disposition of the matter. In
our opinion the dispensary system is bet
ter for the State at large than bar
rooms. Prohibition is the end of the
law, but it cannot always be enforced.
Your neighbors at Westminster are get
ting along nicely with prohibition, and
they have our best wishes for their
future prosperity and happiness. When
the patriotic citizens of that town want
better schools they run their hands
into their pockets and put up the cas6
to run them successfully.
And now comes rumble from Missis-
sippi The recent primary in that State
for Governor turned on the question of
the negro educating himself. The white
people to do the same. The majority
for this plan in the second primary was
about 5000, but it is stated that the Leg
islature is not of the same mind. BE
that as it may, we regard it as an unfor-
tunate issue. The negro has already
| cost us rivers of blood, and also a great
! loss of property. Let us relegate him
to the rear, as he now is, and put forth
all our energies TO better our condition.
The prosperity of the ruling race
will always give us good govern
ment in the Southern States. We can
afford, as heretofore, to be liberal, and
trust safely to an All-wise Providence
for the future

Physicians are calling attention. to the
fact that influenza or grip has come to
stay. In the larger cities there has been
marked increase in diseases affecting
the organs of respiration, which increase
is attributed to the prevalence of influ-
enza. Persons who are recovering from
grip or influenza are in a weak condition
and peculiarly liable to pulmonary dis
ease.

Our Immense Liquor Business.

Our facetious contemporary, the
Associate Reformed Presbyterian,
frankly admits its pecuniary interest
in the business of liquor selling as
conducted by the State of South
Carolina, and thus makes report of
recent purchases to supply the dear
people with a chemically pure intoxi-
cant in the most approved styles:
Of course we should keep posted
as to how our business is getting
along, so we will state for the benefit
of our South Carolina readers that
our representatives, the dispensary
board, have just made their quar-
terly purchases. They bought
1850 barrels of liquors. From one
firm they bought 1900 barrels. In
the list are two names side by side,
from one they bought $40 barrels
and from the other three barrels.
The latter must not have been pre-
pared to make a good showing. He
will likely know hereafter that we
cannot buy his liquor if he does not
make good showing. They also
bought 800 cases of liquors of all
kinds and ten carloads of beer. 1t is
expected that the above will be
enough to so around for awhile. In
order that il might be fixed conven-
iently for carrying they bought six
car loads of one-gallon demiiohns
and that none of it might spill out
they bought 1000 pounds of tin
foil and about a quarter of million
corks. With high priced cotton
business is expected to be very fine.
Ii you and your sons do not drink it
is not our fault--we have put it here
for you.

Address OF Col. Robt. a. Thompson.

Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
The pleasure of meeting this large con
course of people, assembled to further
the cause of education, is greatly en-
hanced by the invitation extended tc
me to present the flag of our reunited
but not very unanimous country! This
flag is to wave over your school, soon to
commence it's present term here. One is
very much struck with the interest mani.
now, from that which formerly existed
The population of the country has greatly
increased, and with an active, industrious
population, wealth is also coming. You
have better school facilities, and gene
rally more acceptable and useful teachers
Teaching is now one of the regular en-
ployments of the country, and a highly
creditable and honorable occupation it is
Under the former system, teachers were
examined one time by the Board OF
School Commissioners, and then they
would teach as long as they could find
employment.
remember an occurrence that took
place at Pickens Court House good
many years ago, and it impressed me
very much at the time. Rev. j. l.. Ken
nedy, distinguished teacher, had been
examined by the Board of Commissioners
of Free Schools. Afterwards at another
examination, Mr.. Konnedy reappeared
again for examination. The board in:
formed him that he need not appear an
nually for the Same purpose. He re-
piled, with bland smile, that he would
obey the law; and on every proper oc-
casion presented himself before the
board. This was rare example of the
discharge of duty, and we commend ii
to the earnest consideration of teachers
of the present day. Teachers should be
prompt and manly in the discharge OF
their various duties. This course will
favorably impress pur 3 and the public
at large. There is noIning like example.
In this connection may mention that
this board, five in number, have been
fortunate in preserving quorum until
the present time. Samuel Fl. Johns
Judge Isaac Wickliffe, and your humble
servant, arc still Sin the land of the iiv-
ing" Rev. VIM. McWhorter was an.
other member, and the fifth name has
| escaped our recollection.
At the suggestion of Miss Marye She
lor, we now have the pleasure of pre-
senting this flag to the school at Block
not as an ornament merely, but as a pro-
lection to your school property; and also
to the protection of teachers and pupils,
and the general welfare. Miss Shelol
has taken great interest in furthering
the cause of education. The superin-
tendent of education of our sister
county, Pickens, has recently paid her a
very high compliment for her zeal and
ability displayed in their behalf Let us
hold up her hands in this great work.
Under the old free school system only
the very poor got the benefit of that
fund. Like the "poor man at frolic,"
they were stood aside. Pickens District
received from the State each year be.
tween three and four thousand dollars
for their tuition. Now, the schools in
Oconee alone get nearly $4,000, and the

Joseph Singleton is the teacher of the
Block school and deserves great credit
for the manner in which he has msnaged
it. OF all the schools we have visited
the Block school is kept the neatest al

Chief Justice Lore on Lynohina.

Chief Justice Lore, of the Della
ware Supreme Court, delivered a
strong charge to a agrand jury, which
was considering the criminal work of
the county courts. After reciting
the details of the murder on June
Is, of Helen Bishop by George
White and the subsequent lynching
Of White by a mob, Justice Lore
said:
"We have heard of lynching as a
punishment for horse stealing in the
South and West, and for homicides,
rapes and other crimes elsewhere
but we flattered ourselves that such
scenes could not occur in our COM
munity, composed as it is, largely of
that good old English stock whose
obedience to law has been one of the
secrets of our civilization and of the
safety of our people.
awe are now confronted, however,
with this crime and must meet it.
Shall we invite its visitation in the
future by acquiescence in its perpe-
tration, or make such crime hereafter
improbable, if not impossible, by
dealing out adequate punishment 2
No good citizens, we are persuaded,
can regard the lynching of George
White in any other light than as a
brutal crime, and as fragrant viola
tion of the law.
"Gentlemen, in this country, we
make the laws; they are our will
formally expressed. 1t is the duty
of every good man to obey the law
himself and to see to it that it is
obeyed by others as far as he may.
Lynching is crime against the
law of both God and man. Every
wilful participant in such an act is a
murderer. No man has a right to
commit that crime because he be-
lieves or fears that some other per-
son who is intrusted with the execu-
tion of the law will fail, or has failed
in the performance of his duty.
Lynching and mob law, their pro-
moters and encouragers, whether
they be of high or low degree, should
receive no favor at the hand of
thoughtful and patriotic men. There
must be government or no govern
ment. The line of cleavage is clear.
All history teaches that the preva-
lence of mob law is the end of free
government. Obedience to the law
is the ife-breath of our republic.
"In obedience to the oath you
have taken and to your duty to your
State, we ask you to 80 act that the
crime of lynching may be suppressed
in this State so far as by your action
that end may be attained and that
the perpetrators of this crime and
the authors of the disgrace that has
come upon us through their crime,
shall be dealt with according to their
merits"

Flag Day" at the Block
School. n ~ Saturday. Sept. 10.

The Flag Day Exercises" at the Block
school were opened with singing and
prayer by Rev. Farmer Stoyall.
Col. Robt. A. Thomspon's address was
read by j. II. Lyles, Col. Thompson not
being able to be present. He was to have
presented the flag from the Youths Com
panion to the trustees. Hon. e. X. yer-
ner accepted the flag with talk on "Our
Government" which was freighted with
good advice to the young.
Prof. N. w. Maoaulay's address came
next. The subject was education"
America was sweetly sung by the
children. Then, to the music of string
band, the children marched to the scho 81
house, the teacher placing the flag on
the pole, salute of three volleys being
fired by the "Young Americans"
The children then marched to the
table, and all present enjoyed a sumptu-
ous 6inner.
In the afternoon the exercises began
with the singing of "Ho for Carolina"
A debate on compulsory education was
the next feature. j. r. Lyles took the
affirmative side of tho question and Mr..
Huff, of tho Tabor school, the negative.
Both handled the subject admirably.

FIorida's Orange Crop.

Jacksonville, Fla, September 25.-
The first orange shipment of any
consequence for this season went
forward last night on the Clyde
steamship Apache, being 500 boxes.
Most of the fruit came from Mana
tee county, below Tampa. Much of
it was green and hardly in condi-
tion to secure good prices in the
Northern markets, while some were
"windfalls," having been blown from
the trees in the last storm. The
frui' 'pening fast and bids fair to
be g ,ood crop this year, notwith-
standing the storm, possibly 1885,
600 boxes. BY next week the ship
ping season will begin in earnest and
railroads and steamers will be in de-
mand to carry the crop.

The Odd Fellows Orphanaqe.

The committee appointed by the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of
South Carolina, which met in Colum-
bia last May, to select a site for the
Odd Fellows orphanage, has held in
formal meetings and members of the
committee have visited several towns,
but without reaching any definite re-
suit except to make it known that
the orphanage will be located in the
town making the best offer. So far
as we can ascertain there is only a
limited amount of enthusiasm with
reference to this proposition in any
of the towns making bids for the
orphanage, and it would be well to
consider the suggestion of Rev. w.
Z. Jacobs, which carries with it all
that is necessary for the Odd Eel
lows or any other fraternal organiza-
tion. He suggested that a building
be erected by the fraternity on the
grounds of the orphanage either at
Columbia, Greenwood or Clinton, in
which would be received the orphans
of deceased members under the usual
restrictions, and thus save large
expenditure in the object aimed at,
while ample provision would be made
for all needy orphans. Such build.
ing would be indicative of their inter-
est in this kind of work, and center
the benevolence of the order fully as
well as large plant.
