A BELL FORM THE SEA.
It was Saved from a Wreck
Announces News of Overdue
Ships.

The Scotsman.
Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell, which for
many years has lain under the sea, is
suspended in the underwriting room
at Tloyd's, and is used:a "announce"
the arrival Of other news received IN
respect to overdue ships.
This is the bell Of the frigate Lu-
tine, wrecked long ago off the Dutch
coast. After being under the water
for wears the bell was salved, and now
strangely enough, is employed to IN
form underwriters that something has
been heard of one Of those ships
which by their protracted passages
are causing uneaslness.
Not every ship that is on the over
due market is announced in this man
ner It is only when an underwater
has expressed to the committee his
desire for immediate information in
respect to this or that overdue vessel
that the note of the old black bell
rings through the rooms.
At the present time there are elev-
en- ships down on the list for an
nouncement by the Lutine bell, but
some of these are so hopelessly over
due that it is practically certain
nothing further will be heard Of them
The big steel bark Alsternixe, for in
stance, heads the list. She was former
ly the British ship Lord Templemore
and was built at Belfast in 1892. This
ship has not been heard Ct since last
November, when she sailed from Cal
lao for Australia.

A reporter, tired and warm, COM
planned to Walter Egan, on the Euclid
links in Cleveland, that he thought
golf stupid.
"You find stupid, eh?''
With a mighty drive the Chicago
golfer sent the small bail flying a
tremendous distance toward the little
faraway red flag. Then as he strobe
on over the fresh turf he said:
"You only find golf stupid because
you don't understand it. You haven It
mastered it. You remind me Of a
certain Hottentot.
"Two white men in Africa laid out
for themselves a nine-hole course, and
here in the wilds morning after
morning they played, though the sun
was hot and though the dry and sandy
soil left them almost continually in
the bunkers.
"Well, the Hottentot watched the
two white men golfng for several
DAYS. Silent and absorbed, he follow
ed them indefatigably over the yellow
course. Then he disappeared.
"Where had he gone? The white
men, missing him, laughingly made
search. They found him at last far
out in the burning desert.
1.-THE naked Hotentot stood alone IN
the burning desert, whacking away at
large stone with great war club
and shouting fiercely:
"'Hang it! Hang it!"-Washing-

COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Negro Enrolment Nearly Double That
of the WhiteS-The Fig
ureS.

County Superintendent Of Educa-
tion Wheeler has completed his an
nual report for the school year clos
ing June 30, 1907, and has sent it to
the state superintendent of education.
There is great deal Of information
in connection with this report which
it seems to us would BE- interesting
to the public; but at this time we car
only give summary.
We find that in the county Of New
berry there are 120 public schools, 60
white and 80 negro schools. There
is total Of IT white teachers, -
men and 81 women. Of these 6 Of
the men and - of the women have
taught for five years or more. There
is total of 81 negro teachers, %
Of whom are men and So women. Then
ty-three of these hold first grade cer
titiicates, and , second grade, and 26
Of the women hold first grade certl-
;dcates, and 10 second grade certif-
Gates. Of these negro teachers, 10
of the men have taught for five years
or more, and 8 Of the women.
There are enrolled in the white
schools a total Of 2718 children, 1884
boys and 1854 girls. Of these 537
boys and $40 girls, OF total Of 1856
are in the schools Of the incorporated
towns. The negro enrolment shows
a total Of 1885, 2304 boys and 253l
girls. Of these 455 boys and 479 girls
are in the schools in the incorporated
towns.
It will be seen that much larger
proportion Of the negro children who
live in the rural districts attend the
public schools than the white children
who live in the rural istricts. The
average attendance Of the white chill
dren for the school year was total
of 1868, while the average attendance
of the negroes was only 27OS.
The total expenditure for all pur-
poses shows $32,34990. Of this
amount $23,367.5S was paid to the
white teachers and $6,272.34, to the
negro teachers. The mother was spent
for rent, repairs, furniture, fuel, and
other incidental expenses. We find on
ly 800 spent for libraries, and only
$12S.9S spent for school houses un-
der the column for negroes.
At the beginning Of the school year
July l. 1906, the report shows cash on
hand $7,565.S7; poll taxes, $4,722;
three mill taxes, $19,15S.94; from the
dispensaries, $2,s36.43; special local
taxes, $6,441.S7; and other sources,
including taxes Oh dogs. $l423.OO:
making total receipts Of $42,o44.7o.
The school year begin"ing July l,
1907, started with cash balance on
hand of $10,194.S5-
It would seem from this that the
finances Of our common schools IN
this county are in fairly good condl-
ton. 1t would also seem that 1t is
very important that there should be
more white children enrolled in the
public schools; and while we have not
given the average that is paid the
teachers, it is much lower than 1t
ought to be. There are scarcely twice
as many negroes in this county, and
vet it will be seen that the enrolment
in the school is about in that proper
tion.

HOW TO RETAIN RURAL ROUTES
Must Improve Public Roads Should
Take Papers-Letter From Con-
| gressman Aiken.

The Herald and News has from time
to time. III season and out Of season,
tried to impress upon the people who
live in the country the importance Of
improving the public highways. We
have done this before the rural de-
livery of mail was established, and
since the establishment Of this SER
vice we have tried to impress the fact
that in order to have it continued, it
was absolutely necessary to put the
roads in good condition.
There IS no step which has been
taken by the government since 1t
was founded that has been Of as much
benefit to the great mass Of the peo-
pie as the establishment Of the free
delivery of mail throughout the rural
districts. In order that it shall be
continued. however, it is necessary
that the roads shall be in good condl-
ton and that there shall be mail to be
delivered. In other words, every pat
ron or resident along the route Of ev-
cry rural carrier should put up an
up-to-date mail box and should take
at least one paper.
The Herald and News goes into
nearly every box on all Of the routes
which 90 out in this country; but no
doubt there are some yet in which it
is not a visitor. Now, it costs very
little to take a paper and 1t helps to
keep your route going, and we would
be clad to see The Herald and News
placed in every mail box and go into
the home Of every farmer in Newber-
rv county. But if some other paper
is preferred, We urge you to take that; ;
because it would be step backward
to have any Of these routes dlscon-
tinued.
These observations are made after
reading the following circular letter
which has been sent out by Congress
man Aiken:
Abbeville, S. c., Sept. T, 1907.
Dear Sir:
Under the ruling Of the 4th Assist
ant Postmaster General, rural routes
that are not appreciated will be dis
continued or changed to tri-weeklles,

means that the people vino are served
should subscribe to newspapers and
otherwise increase the volume OF
business, see that roads are kept in
GOOD condition, and put up approved
mail boxes.
One of the strongest arguments that
has been advanced in favor OF the rur-
al service, is that it induces more read
ing, broadens- the Individuals knowl-
edge and better fits him as a citizen
and as a business man to protect his
interests.
The route serving you is very near
the danger line in the matter OF mall
handled, and it must be increased
Knowing that you fully appreciate
the merits Of the service, let me urge
you to use your influence for its I'M
provement. See your neighbors and
have them subscribe for at least one
paper. Where they haven't approved
boxes. urge them to put them up. Ii
sections Of your roads are in bad con-
dition have a delegation Of your cltlz-
ems to direct the Coun5y supervisors
attention to them. A little work pro-
perly directed will do wonders in the
Improvement Of your route.
