What People OF Thriving Com
nunity Are Saying and Doing.

Salters Depot, April l0:--Friday
night two negro men tried to open
the window Of the home Of Mr.
Charles Fowler, who lives in town,
but were frightened away and ratl
off when Mr. Fowler got up and be-
fore he could find any shells to put
into his gun.
Last week Messrs c w Boswell
and l. T Thompson of Leland, LII,
bought the farm of Mr. John M Sal
ters near town, also his house and
lot in town. They have purchased
stock and will commence farming
operations at once. They will also
remodel the house. MIR Salters has
moved his family to Rock Hill.
Mr. William Stafford spent several
days in Charleston last week.
Miss Anna V Salters is visiting
her sister, Mrs J A McCullom, in
Marlboro county.
Mr. j G Lifrage spent several days
in Georgetown last week on business.
Mr. Walter Davis at this writing
is quite sick.
Mr. E II Hamer visited Charleston
last week.
DR. N Boyd took two of his pa
tents to the infirmary last week.
Mr. P C McClary, of Georgetown
county, was noted on onr streets one
day last week.
Farmers report very poor stands
of corn and they are very slow
around here planting cotton. There
is very little seed in the county and
they are afraid of last years expe-
rience in having the early plants
killed.
Mr. C w Boswell came near having
a serious runaway recently while
driving a spirited "Balaam" which
he had just purchased, said Balaam
being of doubtful age. When a run
away team frightened the mule he
stopped and got ready to run, but at
the command of the driver, Mr. Bos.
we'll who was we'll scared, the animal
uuieted down. This is Mr. Boswell's
first experience with the genus mule.
The fruit crop in this section. es-
pecially pears, is nearly all killed by
cold.
Great interest is being taken in
hog raising around here and there is
talk of organizing a joint stock COM
pany for operating large stock

South Carolina, Columbia, S c.
Dear Sir:
have just received letter from
your secretary in which you direct
yeur secretary to ask me if | re-
member an article | wrote in the
papers some time since. You plu-
ralize it and thereby insinuate that
it was written for more than one
paper, when it was written for only
one. Yes, have very pleasant
recollection of that letter and there
is not one word of it that would
retract for any office that you could
give me. Inasmuch as you have In
terrogated me, allow me to get you
down to interrogatories. Do you
think that the oath you took as
Governor justifes you in discrimin-
ating between citizens in the dis
charge of your official duties?
Do you not know that your oath
renders it incumbent upon you to
treat all citizens with spirit of alb
solute fairness and impartiality?
Have you done that?
You are evidently aware of the
fact that your action in this case is
/ equivalent to intimidating a citizen
in the use of his money. Do you
think that the honest and intelligent
people of our State, who believe in
and appreciate the principles of con-
stitutional government and the
rights of free speech will approve
Of your action? | had a perfect
right as private citizen to write
communication for any periodical
and give my views on any public act
Of the Governor of our State.
But you as the Chief Executive OF
this State have absolutely no right
to use the majesty of your office tc
vent spleen upon those who comment
upon your official acts. Why die
you give your reasons for not sign
ing my commission over your secre-
tary's signature? Don't you know
that it is customary for the Govern
or to sign his own name to his cor,
respondence? Let me say, in con-
elusion, that two years as Governor

BILL NYE DAY CELEBRATION
In the Public Schools of North Caro-
iina-interest of the Bill Nye Memo
rial Building at the StonewaiI Jack
son Manual Training School.

The following letter explains itself
Raleigh, n. C., Feb. /, 1911.
To the County superintendent and
the Public School Teachers:
The public press of North Carolina
has always responded generously aud
unseltishly to every call OF the public
schools for service, and no agency
| has been more potent in promoting
the development of these schools and
the p ogress of education in the
State. The county superintendents
and the public school teachers now
have an opportunity to express their
appreciation of this service, and to
render at the same time n valuable
service to a most worthy cause by
cooperating heartily with the "Bill
Nye Memorial Committee" in their
commendable effort to raise funds
for the erection of a central or main
building at the "Stonewall Jackson
Manual Training School," to be
known as the "Bill Nye Memorial
Building"
/ The Committee has prepared an
| interesting program for the celebra-
tion OF Bill Nye Day in the public
/ schools. An hour devoted to honor
/ ing the memory OF such a man, who
loved all children and all men, who
devoted his splendid talents to max
ing them happier and better through
his writings, will be properly and
proftably spent.
! | earnestly request and urge the
county superintendent Of each county
to distribute these programs to the
public school teachers Of the county,
accompanied by q letter to each
teacher, directing the setting apart
OF an hour in the school for this cele-
bratiOn, and urging the hearty CO.
operation of the teacher for the sue
cess Of the celebration.
The noble work of the Stonewall
Jackson Training School for giving
wayward boys Of the State chance
to have n chance to be trained into
good citizens should appeal strongly
to the hearts OF the children OF the
| public schools, who but for the mercy
of God might be like these wayward
boys. 1t is a privilege, therefore, for
these children to have an opportu-
nifty to make a contribution to such
a work. 1t will do them good. |
earnestly urge, therefore, that county
superintendents and teachers lend
their hearty cooperation in securing
at least penny contribution from
every child in the public schools for
the erection of the Bill Nye Memorial
Building for increasing the facilities
at the States school for training
wayward boys.
| designate Wednesday, the 22nd
| day Of February, for thiscelebration.
| suggest that the teacher devote an
hour on this day to reading to the
pupils this booklet and to arousing
J an enthusiastic interest in Bill Nye
and his work and in the work ol
the StOnewall Jackson Training
School, concluding the exercises with
an earnest appeal for contribution
OF at least one penny from every
child, to be brought next morning.
All contributions should be for.
