School Savings Bank.

A week ago last Monday, the pupils
of our public schools were surprised
and pleased when the teachers an
nounced that plan had been adopted
whereby each pupil may open a bank
account. This plan, which is that of
the School Saving Bank, was attrac
lively presented by each teacher in a
few minutes talk, at the close of which
all were requested to make their first
deposit on the following morning.
Considerable enthusiasm was manifest
ed, enthusiasm which resulted in the
eager collection of small coins, and the
Outpouring of many a wee stocking
hoard on the teachers desk next day
Nearly S38 was collected in the various
grades an average of over niue cents
for each pupil enrolled, The sixth
grade, taught by Miss Mabel Brown,
distinguished itself by making the
largest deposit, but during the coming
weeks there will doubtless be close
rivalry for first place. The second de-
posit, collected last Monday, amount
ed to about S45, the sixth grade still
taking the lead.
The School Savings System is exten.
sively used in Europe. and many of
the better schools of our own couatry
are adopting it. In Atlantic City, N. J.,
several pupils have saved an amount
sufficient to purchase share in building
associations, aud frequently young
students, as a result of judicious saw
ing during public. school days, are
greatly assisted in obtaining higher
education.
Fortunately Milford has Board of Ed
ucatiOn characterized by that healthy
discomfort which always seeks the best.
new thing for our schools. No more
thorough and practical lesson could be
given in that thrift training and econ
Omy which results in good citizenship
than is inculated by depositing in the
School Savings Bank the pennies and
nickels which would otherwise pur-
chase chewing gum, candy, or possibly
cigarettes. Parents are sure to appre- |
ciate the effort made in this direction,
and give it their hearty support
The Senior class has organized and |
elected its officers. Glass pins and flags
ordered, are eagerly awaited
The class of 'O5 is the largest senior
class since the consolidation of the
schools. Following is the class roll: |
Sara Anderson. Edna Counselmsn,
Mae COunselman, Mary Banning, Eliza
beth Deputy, Eugenia Graham, Lillian
Hauser, Stella Handy, Florence HOus-
man, May Watson, Shovel Abbott,
Robert Davis, Harold Salmons, Pierce
Simpson, Arthur Hudson.
A gentleman from a neighbering
town, when viewing our new school
building, was heard to exclaim, isn't
1t splendid % Any college might well
be proud of such building. This only
reiterates sentiments heard here re-
peatedly.

AS To Biennial Sessions.

"Now that there is no longer any
question as to the will of the people
with regard to biennial sessions OF
the general assembly instead of an
nual sessions" says the Yorkville En-
quirer, 1T is hoped there will be no
further foolishness about the matter.
Any serious effort to thwart the will
of the people is likely to bring trou-
bic and lots Of it, While we con-
sistently opposed biennial sessions OF
the legislature, believing that no &C
tual saving to the state would result,
we believed it right to submit the
question to the people for decision,
and now that they have expressed
their will all further discussion is use
less and can not be productive of
good to any one. AS we view the
matter, there is no foundation what
ever for the contention which has
been put forward that, under the
amend to the. constitution which
was voted, the sessions would
occur in even years, making impossl-
bic the Inauguration Of a governor
by the general assembly, it being
provided that the inaugurations shall
occur in odd years. Under the
amendment to the constitution which
the people by their votes have fav-
ored, the legislature will meet bien-
nially after the. year 1906, which
would place the first of the biennial
sessions in 1907, the second in 1909.
and so on. That, we believe, was
the intention of the last general as
sembly, and it seems to us that it
was correctly expressed in the
amendment which was proposed and
which was voted by the people in the
last general election.
The people by their votes have ex-

NOVEMBER, TUESDAY 2e.
The Eutawville Case.

The alleged Eutawvil!e lynchers.
now held in the penite1tiary. in CO.
lumbia. seem to be experiencing con-
siderable difficulty in their efforts to
secure a preliminary hearing. The
question OF preliminary will be set
tied one way or the other next Fri
day, however, at which time Magls-
trate A. F. Mccoy OF Holly Hill is
required to make return to all order
passed by Judge D. \. Townsend, IN
Charleston, on last Saturday, re-
curing Magistrate Mccoy to show
cause why a mandamus should not
issue requiring him to grant the prls-
oners a preliminary hearing. The
law is very explicit on this subject,
Section "a of the Criminal Code pro-
viding: 1T shall be the duty of any
MAGISTRATE who issues warrant
charging a crime beyond his juris-
diction, to grant and to hold pre-
lin1inary investigation Of the same
upon demand Of the defendant at
anv time before trial, at which lnves-
tigation the defendant shall have the
right to cross-examine the states wit
nesses in person or by counsel, and
to have the reply in argument II there
be counsel for the state and to be
heard in argument in person or by
counsel as to whether probable case
has been made out and as to whether
the case ought to be dismissed by
the magistrate and the defendant dis
charged without day." etc. 1t was
announced some time ago, it will be
recalled, that the prisoners IN the Eu-
tawville case would be given a pre-
liminary hearing in Charleston on
last Friday. it being stated that an
agreement had been reached in ac-
cordance with which Magistrate Nc
Coy would go to Charleston and hold
the preliminary there. The prellm-
mary was not held at that time, how
ever, the prisoners remaining in tn"
penitentiary. Messrs. E. J. Denr:s
and R. w. Haynes, counsel for tx
defendants, were in Charleston, g.:
on an ex parte showing made :
them, Judge Townsend passed >.:t
order above referred to.
Mr.. Dennis, as quoted in the News
and Courier, stated that he and Mr..
Haynes had endeavored in every way
to force a preliminary, recounting the
efforts which had been made in that
direction. Magistrate Mccoy had
told him, he said, 'that he (Magls-
trate Mccoy was ready to hold the
preliminary, but did not think he
had jurisdiction to order the defen-
dants brought from Columbia"
