The telephone system was out OF
| service yesterday and the company at
tributed the cause to the electric storm
Monday night. But it was no such
thing, Tom Nimmer at this place and
Joe Shaluhv of Summerton. got the
! wires all twisted up talking Syrian TO
each other. The telephone company
should have {: cable wire Installed TO
accommodate the languages Of onr
Syrian and Russian citizens
Died suddenly in Camden las san
! day. Mrs Camilla DeaS. wife OF w. j.
| D. Deas. The deceased was daughter
of the late Col. Richard c. lticlardSon;;
of Fulton. and leaves L husband ana
seven children. besides her mother
who is an actogenarian. and brothers,
! Major H. 3. Richardson anu Col. X. Z.
| Richardson. Mrs. DeaS was about Is
wears OF age. and was highly esteemed

bility.
We think it right and proper for
council through its police to prohibit
people from dumping brush and other
upsightiy trash into the streets, and
il the dumping Of this stuff into the
streets is permitted. then couacil should
have the Scavanger cart 70 haul II
away. but we do not think it right 70
permit piles OF brush or ou!' main
thoroughfare to lay there pntil it rois,
and stop it on the side streets. DO net
discriminate is the idea.
We would direct the attention OF
those in authority to give some atten-
ton row to the heating equipment OF
the school houses II will be remem-
bered that the children lost several
days last winter on account OF the StI,
fling smoke in their ciasS-rooms, ana
then there was much complaint about
not enough heat even when the smoke
did not cause annoyance. Inc Town
Council is made up OF practical men,
and we would urge that they take this
very. very important matter into con-
sideration before school opens this fail.
Professor c. Z. Boyd. reelected
superintendent OF the Manning graded
schools, will not return. as he has &C
cepted position IN the State OF Ten
nessee. We hope that the trustees will
be able TO secure the services OF an
able tutor and disciplinarian TO sue
ceed Mr.. BovG. What is needed IN our
local school is q head that is COM
petent to superintend teachers as well
pupils. There is too much mechanical
teaching these days. and until the
trustees employ and retain teachers
upon systematic business principles
our school can not prosper as 1t sho1ld.
M. C. b" who is none other than
Mr.. Mason G. BrunSon. travelling rep
resentative for the News and Courier,
has 4 very interesting letter in yester-
DAYS issue from Summerton, which
should be appreciated by the citizens
of that enterprising towE, as it adye"-
tises 10 the world. the remarkable
strides Summerton has made, and Isl
continuing to make. 1t tells the world
that Summerton's progressive spirit IS
nurtured by sensible business men who
are reaching out to induce people to
pitch their tents there. There is moth
inc surprising al Summerton's growth,
when it is considered that the town has
a Smvthe, a. Rogan, a Davis, a Rhame,
a Mood. Capers, and number OF
others who appreciate the value OF com
bined effort to accomplish a definite
purpose.
President E. D. Hodge Clarendon
