Curing a Doctor.

An eminent physician of London,
who was remarkable for continuing
his visits to his rich patients af ter he
had turned their disorders out of
doors, attended lady of some celeb
rity in the world Of wit for three
months after her recovery and regu-
larly stayed with her until, in the
English manner, he received his dis
missing fee of 5 guineas. Weary of
his expensive calls and concluding
that to lessen the fee would be to
lose the visitor, she ventured to give
him 4 guineas at the conclusion Of
his next call. He looked anxiously
in his hands, then on the carpet and
stood for some time in evident en-
barassment.
"Have you lost anytaing?" inquir-
ed the lady
"Why, madam, I thought l had
dropped a guinea. "
"It is only mistake in the person,
SIR" rejoined the fair patient. "lt
is I who have dropped the guinea"
The doctor, Of course, dropped his
visits.

HAVE WE A HIGH SCHOOL?
Prof. W. z. Sigh Says Prof. Hand
Puts us 25th-In Fact We Have
No High School.

Editor Herald and News: Prof. W.
H. Hand, State high school inspector,
writes that the Newberry school stands
18th in the State on the basis Of the
work attempted. He has not finished
his report on the basis of quality Of
work actually done. Newberry stands
not lower than 10th, possibly not low
er than 8th, in population. From this
it appears that great many smaller
towns, some of them much smaller, re-
quire more work than is required here.
Prof. Hand writes: "The State
high school board requires school to
make a credit of II standard units
to be classed as a 3-year high school
and to make Il units to be classed
as 4year high school. have just
copied Newberry's report, submitted
by the superintendent. The school
will not make y units this year,
He adds that not many schools out
of 1O1 reporting will make II units.
1t is pity that a town the size of
Newberry is not on the list Of high
schools.
The Observer says we are to have
no more Of high school than we have
had for years, merely separate
building. 1t says that our schools
; once stood high. The trustees gravely
tell US that We now have high schol-
So there you are. In another issue l
hope to call attention to some more
facts about our schools.

Welded AT PISTOLS MOUTH.
Young Man Visits Governor Ansel's
Office and Tells Thrilling Story
Of Forced Marriage.

Columbia, May l9.-Had Governor
Ansel been in the city today he would
have been called upon for some ad-
vice in a most unusual case. Just
about the time that the Coast Line
rolled in from the Pee-Dee a young
man sauntered into the Office of the
governor. He gave a furtive glance
around him to see that all was quiet
and then spoke. What he said made
those who were present sit up and
take notice, for twas pretty tale
the man was telling.
eye gods,'' he said, "me thinks
I can yet see pistols flashing, guns
held in the hands Of those who would
do me MURDER" this in melodramatie
fashion. But the thought of what
had really happened sobered the man
to plain speeoh-for those around him
knew not yet what was the cause Of
the visit.
The visitor gave his name as 4. NJ.
Holiday, Of Manning, and his petit
ton was that he be in some manner
relieved from a martial situation, in
to which he claims that he was fore
ed to enter Monday one week ago, at
the point of at least 25 pistols and
shotguns in the hands Of kinsmen Of
the girl they forced him to marry
at least to go through the ceremony
under threats of killing him.
Holliday-who looks to be about q
years Of age-says that he was out at
his home in the field when crowd
came after him with pistols and
guns, and said: "Come with US. >" He
went. The party having entered the
church, a minister was sent for, the
Rev. J. r. Funderburk, and Holiday
was told that he would have to get
married.
"But I don't want to get married" "
said Holiday.
"We'l see about that," said the
near kinsmen.
The husband-to-be telling the story
today said: "And I could see the lead
moving around inside those guns, and
I decided to get married" " The
preacher, said Holiday, didn't want
to perform the ceremony, but was told
that he had to, and then said he would
marry the whole family if necessary.
"Well, what happened?' Holiday
was asked.
cit was just this way: Looking
down the muzzle Of those guns l let
the preacher ask the questions, but [
never answered one of them. Yes,
the girl said yes all the way through
but I never opened my mouth. Just
after we left the church [ skipped,
but they came after me again. Then
I rode across the country in closed
buggy, and went to Pinewood. from
which place I took the train for Co.
lumbia. And I'll be fair to you, boys.
I am not going to stay here either.
Of course, I am not tell you where
I am going, but I'll not stay here un-
less the marriage can be annulled. "
Holiday was advised to consult an
attorney in the matter.

Hunyuck $ spirit rose in revolt. When
ever a percussion gun was fired any
where near the baliwick Of the old
man, You could hear in the distance
an answering crack Of his famous
rifle. Then some one would call out,
"There goes old Hunyuck s gun; just
as we'll call up the dogs; no more luck
today" Many are the times, when
the boys and myself would be hunt
ing and hear old Hunyuck' gun, that
every dog would quit the trail, and
not gun would shoot straight any
more that day. Some we're foolish
enough to say it was "echo,'' but it
was nothing Of the kind, for it was
just as much difference between an
"echo' and old Hunyuck's gun as
there is between day and night. Then
how comes it the dogs couldn't trail
and the guns shot crooked?

conduct. and sent a body Of troopers
one dark cold rainy night to overhaul
my offensive acts, and bring my "cor-
pus' to safe mooring at the States

they brought along as pilots, "three
brethren in black" who had been my
playmates in our boyhood days. But
they liked my habits Of life no better
than did the soldiers Of Uncle Sam,
and they willingly stood ready at the
doors and windows to fell me, should
I attempt to escape. This gave the
troopers time to investigate. But just
then the spirit of old Hunyuck must
have come to my aid, for a spell was
put upon the "brethren in black"
as we'll as the soldiers, long enough
for me to elude them and take re-

of memories and traditions. Now the
most curious part is to be told. From
that night to this day, nothing has
ever been seen or heard Of these
"three brethren in black Whether

A Pleasant Outing.
The brother with whom I am stop
ting has a beautiful machine, a new
REQ, and yesterday took me spin
over the beautiful shell roads which
stretch out from the city. We went
along Black river and saw some of
the elegant homes where the rice plan
ters lived in other days in elegance
and luxury. Many of these homes
are now in the hands of Northern cap
italists who only come down here for
the winter. The extensive rice fields
are now all abandoned and only serve
for fishing and for duck ponds where
great droves Of the mallards and can
vasbacks come to feed, and furnish
fine sport during the winter At the
ferry I saw a couple Of colored boys
leisurely fishing: while a large mocca-
sin, the first I had seen since the days
used to fish on the Edisto river,
tried to get himself tangled up in the
line.
The Winyah Graded School.
One of the ornaments Of George
town is the new, modern school build
ing which has cost the city $6O,OOO.O0
and is not yet complete. But it is an
education in itself, beautiful build
ing with ventilation, and heating and
lighting arrangements as near perfect
as they can be made. What fatal
mistake to economic in such a work
as this, or hope to modify an old
building Ito make it do," as they
say. When the work is being done
better spend 100000 more and
make the plant complete and exten-
sive enough. Prof. Willie c. Bynum,
of our townf is at the head Of this
school and is fast making it a great
success. Obeying Prof. Bynum's IN
yitation to visit the school and talk
to the children I went at the apenlng
hour and had $50 children before me.
I spoke to them of the Importance of
the music and Latin courses and then
chose as my subject, "What you see
crossing the mouth of the Amazon
river" and at the close had quite an
ovation from the little fellows.
The furniture in the class rooms
is all that could be wished, individual
desks, rural tablets, maps and teach
ing charts. Indeed, everything to help
the teachers to do their work. Great
credit is due Prof. Bynum for the per-
feet discipline of the school. [ have
never seen better. After a years use
of the new building there does not
appear single pencil mark on the
walls nor DETACHMENT on the furnl-
ture or wood work. Prof. Bynum has
been reelected and now has the right
to choose his own teachers. But
enough for this time.
