paper is made history of up-to-
date current events, Of which no
other account is published and re-
corded, except in newspaper. We
will send free copy of THE TINES
to every school contributing to the
school column during the year.
The paper should be read and dis
cusscd in the schools by teachers
and pupils and thc improvement
marked and praised. We will from
time to time through our editorial
column call special attention to the
bright and ncwsy letters written by
the children and comment upon
the interest taken and the advance
mcnt made by the pupils in this in
tcrcsting department. The papers
should be filed for future reference,
to be able to note the improvement
made in composition and writing.
TO write nicely and compose well is
a very great accomplishment, and
always enables one to write an in
tcrcsting letter. After becoming
accustomed to writings a person finds
the task easier every time they
write and soon it will not only be
no trouble, but q pleasure to write,
and your writings will be more in
tercsting. One reason We advise
the filing and keeping of TIE TIMES
in the schools is that in after years
some one of the pupils who wrote
for THE TIMES might be teacher
in that same school and it would be
pleasant to refer to the child COM
positions published in TIE TIMES
when they were pupils in the school
and show it to their scholars as an
evidence of the good it did to write
and note with pleasure how the in
FAINT M!nd unfolds and expands by
the effort to improve in literary at

OUR SCHOOL COLUMN.

We will again in January open to

column, to be filed by communica-

teachers and pupils in every school
in the County. We desire and sin
ccrcly hope that every teacher and
parent will take an interest in this
work and encourage the children to
write for the paper because there is
nothing more improving and stimu-
lating. The effort to write nicely
and compose well, is rewarded in
the certain and gradual attainment
Of good language and the more flu

TO SUPPLEMENT SCHOOL FUND.
UNION, 5. c., DEC. IS, 1905

DEAR SIR:
The dispcnsary having been voted
out in Union, in order to supply a
deficiency in the school funds, the
| Board Of Trustees instructs me to
collect from all resident pupils lOc
per month rs an incidental fee, and
from all nonresident pupils S1.OO
per month for lst, 2nd and 3rd
grades; 2l.25 per month for lth,
5th and 9th grades; and $50 per
mon h for 7th, Sth and 9th grades
to be paid in advance each month.
Amp person living outside the
district who owns property in the
district and pays the special school
tax will be given credit for same
upon presenting his tax recipe to

the pupil.
We earnestly request that the in
cidental fec (60c) for the remainder
of the session be paid at once, if
convenient.
Hoping to secure your co-opera-
ton in this important matter and
assuring you that the above action
was Il matter of necessity, am,
Yours very truly,
DAVIS JEFFERlEs, Superintendent
The above is Il copy Of a circular
letter sent out by Superintendent
Davis Jcffcrics, of Unions graded
schools. The letter explains itself
and should appeal to all who fee
an interest in and appreciate the
importance of educating the children
of the country. The voting-out o.
the dispcnsary has deprived tn,
schools of several thousand dollars
but no doubt has and will save tt
the county equally as much in othcl
ways and means. and no lover O
law, order, peace and Christian
government and contrel, will objcc
to paying small amount to max,
up this deficiency. If Union schoo
district received all OF the three mil
constitutional tax paid in the dis
trict there would be no necessity fol
the above call, but this district onl,
got its proportionatc part according
to the enrolment of children in tn,
schools, the balance going to tn,
other schools of the County, accord
ing to number of pupils enrolled il
each school. OF one thing we ar,
satisfied, that is, that when the dis
pcnsary question now before the Su
prcmc Court is decided by that
Court, it will say that the provision.
in the Bricc Act which deprivcs any
county Of its portion of the dispen.
sary fund necessary to make up O
deficiency in the amount necessary
to amount to three dollars for eacl
child enrolled is unconstitutional
a county that has never had q dis.
pcnsary and one that has voted out
a dispensary and fails to raise by
the three mill constitional tax an
amount equal to three dollars per
capita Of the enrolled children, then
it is that. the deficiency must under
the express provisions of the Cons
titution be paid out of tho dispen-
sary money in the State treasury.

young mans leg of flesh" We
said: Thank God for that much. /"
Then we continued: but, what
did she mean when she said that
the young man who passed US with
out stopping was a Joe Mary"
The answer was: well, he's a
good boy enough only most too
good. He is sorter pious and doesn't
dance the german, nor go to the
theatre, nor scorch it on the wheel,
nor treat to ice cream; consequently
he's Joe Mary" We could not
help laughing heartily at this, and
said to her: well, of the two
classes, the 'Jeems Dandys' and
the Joe Marys,' I would advise
you to take a Joe Mary if you ever
get chance, for he would be the
more apt of the two to keep bread
in your mouth. "
This universal and apparently un-
avoidable slang pervades all classes
OF society, flaunts itself horribly
and conspicuously in the news
papers, and is even beginning to
creep into the sacred pulpit. 1t is
all very funny, and really very ex
pressive, but it is extremely un-
genteel and dangerously subvcrsive
OF the purity of our noble language.

enough without it. james r. Bacon

All the gentlemen of South Caro-.

their life, matters not whether the
woman be clothed in silks, satins
and furs and has her thousands, or
stands behind counter in store
or at the loom or spinning frame in

woman to the gentleman. But
there are brutcs who have no re-
Spect for themselves and therefore
cannot be expected TO have any
respect or regard for woman, and
such should be gotten rid of by os-
tracism or due course Of law. The
conduct of Hasty at Gatfncy was a
fair sample of that class of human
hrutcs that the country would DC

prcmcly "hunky." AS the yellow
haired city girl saw the yellow
haired country girl, she cried
Hello! hello! hcllo!' and ran
forward, threw her arms around
her, kissed her and cried, ooh,
you sweet, old rascal, you, pull my
leg, pull my leg" Then the boy
on the right, who knew the country
girl, said with great animation:
'Oh, | know what you have come
back here for. You have come to
get still tighter cinch on us poor,
suffering boys" Cinch! Then the
city girl, pointing to the young
fellow on the left, who was q
stranger and had not yet been in
troduced, said in loud whisper to
the country girl: He's daisy;
he's a Jeems Dandy. 1t will pay
you to pull his leg little" At
this our old eyes again dropped out
/ and rolled on the pavement. Then

very gallantly and said: ooh,

tapped him on the shoulder and
said: Come off, come off; that
sounds bum"
AT this the other young man put
up both his hands before his face
and said "Oh, give us rest
give us a rest; it's all bum, very
bum!" At this point a third hand
. some young fellow passed, smiling
and lifting his hat very politely;
and as he went on the country girl
craned her neck after him. Then
the city girl, pulling her by the
sleeve, said: "Oh, don't waste
your time locking at him. You
needn't pull his leg, for he is a
perfect Joe Mary" Then they all
laughed immoderately and agreed
to have a swaggcr time at Mrs.
Is german. As soon as the
city girl got out of hearing, we said
to the girl at our side: "Merciful
heaven, child, what did that girl
mean by telling you first to pull
her own leg and then to pull the
young mans leg? You certainly
wouldn't do such thing as that
under any possible circumstances,
would you?" Then the country
girl almost died with laughter at
our virtuous greenness and said:
'Oh, that only means that you
must taffy the boys little SO that
they will drive you, and take you
out to dances and give you ice
cream and flowers, etc. You know,
