Typical High Finance.
From the Philadelphia Ledger

There has been NO more fragrant example
of that kind of high finance" which
reached its elimination a few years ago
than In the consolidation of the various
York and the manipulation Of their securi-
ties. 1t was perfectly well understood, even
by innocent investors" that these success
siye operations would not bear the scrutiny
Of any conservative authority, in finance
law or morals but the value Of the property
was so enormous, the franchises 50 meal
culably productive, that there appeared no
limit to the load that they would bear, and
only the more cautious perceived that, even
with such resources. imitation might reach
the bursting point.

Bryan's Flounderings.

fOm tne ftlcnmOn0. NeW3-Leduef. =
We cannot remember to have seen a man
In public life fall more rapidly and fail more
completely than Mr.. Bryan has done since
his return from Europe. He has staggered
and Topped and foundered about like a
chicken with its head off, or q pugilist
struck hard on the point Of the jaw. We
realize the fact that he has been in the
embarrassing position of finding his own
ground occupied by his opponent. Never
theless, 1T does seem that high statesman
ship or even well-developed political sa-
gacity and experience-and certainly he has
had experience enough-should have sug-
gested to him some way of pulling himself
together and coming before the country in
a sane and reasonable position.

AS TO HIGH SCHOOLS,

We notice that the people Of the
town Of Prosperity are circulating
pc,iti", lnnkinr to the raising Of
sufficient money 10 secure a high
school under the provisions II the
high school act passed BY the last
legislature. We are very anxious to
secure a couple Of these high schools
IN Ncwbcrrv county this year and
We are clad that some community is
taking steps looking TO that end. We
had hoped. however. that the schools
might have been secured by the con-
S"lidation Of some Of our rurals
schools, and we had in mind a high
school in the St. Lukes community
and one at Little Mountain and
one or two other places. Prosperity
already has good school facilities.
but as stated. we are glad that these
are to be improved by the establish
mcnt Of a high school.
As we understood the intention Of
the bill, however. it was to encourage
the consolidation Of schools and the
establishment Of high schools there.
by in our rural communities.
AS stated some time ago, it seems
to lis that the state board Of cduca-
tion has stretched the intention OF
the legislature by Interpreting the act
so that these high schools NAV be
established in towns and cities with
more than 1000 population. The fact
that the provision was put in the act
not allowing these high schools ir
towns and cities Of more than 1000
population, is evident to our mind OF
the intention cf the legislature to be
as stated above. The state board OF
education, however. decides that
these high schools may be establish
ed in towns Of more than 1000 by in,
cluding the township in which tht
town may be situated and calling it {

From the oLndon Hospital.
The statement that the moder-

Of medicine upon the authority Of an
overwhelming weight Of numbers.

they been approached If 50, how is

T.. II. A..

We publish in another column
something of the work that was done
some forty or fifty years ago on the
proposed road through the mountains
from Walhalla to Tennessee. 1t was
suggested that when Col. Andrews be-
came president of the Blue Ridge
railroad that he would probably com
plctc this work. II was on this road
that Cot. Andrews rs boy began
his work in the railroad service. and
IT was also understood that il WAS
his ambition to see this road complct-
cd through the mountains. As will
be seen in the article which is pub
hShcd elsewhere. Il great deal Of tm-
Nclin" has already been done. This
road would make the shortest route
from the coal fields rf the west IL the
Atlantic Ocean nj Charleston. and as
stated in the article. would be the
most direct route To the Panama
Canal. The completion Of this road
would mean a great deal for South
Carolina. and especially this section,
as it would place it on the main line
from the west to the Atlantic coast.
We had understood that work was in
progress on the Tennessee Siie Of
the mountains and that there was
only short gap yet to be completed
in addition to the work to be done
on the tunnels.

We notice in the Abbeville Medium

We notice in the Abbcville Medium
an editorial from the Florence Times
callin" attention to the correspondence
from Spartanburg in the News and
Courier as to pensions.
We have made reference to- this
several times, but had not noticed
that the Spartanhurs correspondents
felt that the pension roll iii Spartan
burg was larger than it ought to be,
lie seems to think that there arc
names on the Spartanburg pension
list which ought not to be there. We
have been informed by confederate
veterans who arc IN position to
know the facts, though we have not
verified the informatior. that the
county Of SrartanhurS and the com-
ty If Nrwbcrry furnished about the
Same number Of confederate sold
irrS tr the army. OF course Spar
tanhurg has grown in population Il
great deal since the close Of the war,
and many cotton mills have been
built. and no doubt confederate sold
ierS have moved in from other coun-
ties and from North Carolina, but it
hardly seems creditable that they
should have increased the pension
roll as much as it now appears to be.
In other words. while Newberry
county has about 100 names on its
pension roll. Spartanbur@ has about
500. and while Ncwberry gets about
$500 in the appropriations. Spar
tanhur~ gets over $4,000
The Medium makes suggestion
which The Herald and News made
some three or four years ago and also
recently. that It would be we'll for
each county IL take charge of its
own pensioners. We think the sug-
"e<tiou Il good one.
