THE SCHOOL QUESTION.
There Has Been No Election of Prin.
cipal as Gentleman Elected is
Ineligible, 1t is Said.
Editor Herald and News:

Editor Herald and News:
I have witnessed, with concern,
the evidences of unrest in relation
to the action of school board of Dis
trict No. l, at the time of the hold
ing of election for the purpose of the
supply OF instructors for the COM
ing scholastic year.
Now, while all Of the above men,
toned board are men Of such char
acter as to place them on plane
equal to the highest in my regard,
still, I am forced, for this once, to
admit that they, like all humanity,
are liable to error and as public SER
wants, subject to unbiased criticism
I have nothing to say regarding
the young man from Ohio, who was
chosen as principal of the schools,
nor of that feature of his career
which has given such violent offense
to the descendants Of those who
sleep beneath the sod of what was
once "The Southern Confederacy,"
save that I am heartily in accord
with the sentiment which unfolds
the inner-heaSt tenet of Southland
chivalry. 5 II II i..;~%>ts
But, being partly responsible for
the existence Of the act under which
they hold their being, 1 am impelled
to call their attention to Section 5
Of an Act of the general assembly of
the session of 1905, in regard to
Newberry school district, in which
specific instructions are laid down
for their guidance; prominent, and
almost first of which is that portion
Of the above mentioned section re-
garding the election Of teachers,
which reads as follows: provided,
That no teacher shall be employed
by said trustees who is related TO
member of the board by consanguin-
ity or affinity within the third de-
gree: And provided, further, That
no teacher shall be employed to
teach in said school who does not
hold a diploma from a chartered col
lege, within the State, or first
grade certificate issued by the coun-
ty board of education of Newberry
county"
Now, as I am informed the young
Ohio aspirant, was not at the time of
the election in possession of di-
ploma of any kind, not even from the
little parti-colored institution at
Worcester, consequently he was
not eligible, and the trustees having
transcribed authority in acting
above the law, have failed to repre-
sent the district, consequently there
has been no election.
Respectfully,
F. W. Higgins.

Lightning Burns Barn and Kills Mule

lightning Burns Barn and Kills Mule
Monday afternoon the lightning
struck Mr.. T. W. Harmon's barn in
No. 2 township, killed mule and set
fire to the barn, which was burned,
together with it's contents oats, cot
ton seed hulls and wagon. A negro
who was under the barn, was knock
ed down, but soon recovered. Mr.
Harman, who had just left the barn,
was shocked. The heat scalded two
hogs which were in a pen near the
barn, and the rain washed the hair
off. Mr.. Harmon thought he would
lose the hogs. Loss estimated at
over $500.

of disposing Of property under a lien.

BULL POOL INVESTIGATION.
Proceedings Postponed For Examina-
ton of Additional Witnesses.


New York, April 21.-The sudden
adjournment today of the Federal in
quiry into the alleged cotton pool be-
fore the special grand jury sent a
thrill of hope in certain quarters Of the
financial district that perhaps the gov
ernment had decided to call off the in
vestigation.
Clark McKercher, assistant attorney
ter announcing that other witnesses
were to be called at further grand jury
sessions Plans for a deeper probing
Of the alleged cotton pools will, it is
said, be laid in the next few days at
Washington.
James Patten Of Chicago this after
noon declared with emphasis that he
was not in this game to squeeze any
one" and further that there would be
no corner in cotton. Said he:
Il have bought cotton on the theory
Of supply and demand. l believe that
the mills here and in Europe will close
down in August and September be-
cause they will have no cotton to work
with. They will then cry, give us cot
ton, we must have it, Now there 1t
Is in a nutshell. II l am wrong, why
show me where. l am long on cotton
on this theory.
II became long on the product be-
fore L ever saw these New York cot
ton men, or had any dealings with
them. | am in my present position
through legitimate speculative enter
prise. If the government steps in and
lot rhty L
stop. but it will be an evil day If such
a STEP is ever taken.
There has been a great deal printed
to the effect that Frank Hayne, w. P.
Brown, F. Scales and myself are on
gagged in a conspiracy to corner the
May crop Of cotton. No more ridiCu-
lous statement was ever made.
1T will be financial impossibility
for the four of us combined to corner
May cotton. Why there are 100000
bales of May cotton in sight. At SIS
a bale it would require $150,O0O,OOO
to maintain a corner 1t Is matter
Of history that no man has ever sue
ceeded in cornering a cotton crop"
The grand jury which has been in
vestigating the bull cotton pool stop
ped work on the case until next week,
after, it is said, II had secured posses
sion of a document having an impor-
tant bearing on the case. Whether the
government investigators had unearth-
ed copy Of the alleged pooling agree
ment could not be definitely learned.
1t is on the contention that such an
agreement was made that the govern
ment bases it's case.
Six witnesses were examined today,
which, with the list who testified on
Tuesday, complete tine number sub
poenaed, with the exception Of two
who are out of town and two who are
excused from testifyipg.
Several other witnesses have been
subpoenaed however and will be called
before the grand jury next week when
the investigation is resumed.
One of the governments chief wit
nesses, David B. Miller, was examined
today. Mr.. Miller was reported to have
said that he had a copy Of the full
pool and would submit 1t to the grand
jury He was under examination for
some time.
The other traders who appeared be-
fore the grand jury today were: Will
liam P. jerks of Craig & jerks, Ma
thaniel Carpenter, Charles P. Revere,
William d. Martin Of Springs & Co.,
and Edward Moyse Of Moyse & Co.
