We notice that garbage pile is still
at SCOTS creek, on the Longshore
road. It does seem that the city could
find some convenient and less conspic-
uous place to dump its garbage T2at
is one of the leading roads coming into
tne city and tits pile of garbage makes
very ugly sight, not to speak of the
other Objectionable features connected
with it. We understand that DR.. Glider
owns the land on which the dump is
made, and it would seem tat ne would
object to it being made a garbage
pile.

GARMANY SCHOOL HOUSE.

We visited the wreck at what was
once Garmany school house. The days
of miracles have passed, otherwise it
would seem a miracle how any OF the
children or tie teachers escaped with
their lives, and yet the most serious
injury is that of a little boy who had
his fingers injured and possibly one of
them broken. Nearly al of them came
out without even bru1se. The tead.-
ears were >Qninjured.
\ One side of tie house fell broadside
on the floor Of the building and is
there now 1t is possible that the
desks which I-eld the weight of the
side Of the building is what saved
many of the children from INJURY.
The main track of the wind seems
to have been about one hundred yards
from the building, and it is the opinion
of those VINO saw the storm that it
was the suction of the whirl wind that
pulled the house over and u1at un-
rooted the barn of Mr.. Saealy and took
it from its foundation. Trees were
torn up by the roots and the leaves
on the shrubbery were cut to, pieces
The young cotton and the OATS were
twisted off which gives force to the
theory that it was the wihrling or
strong suction of the wind which drew
the school house over.
1t must have lad a terrible and al
most irrestible force. One of the pine
trees near the building nad a piece
driven straight into at about fifteen
feet from the ground just as if you
had driven wedge in there. Mr..
shealy says there is about wagon
load of the boards from the building
in tie pines about a mile distant and
his field is strewn with pieces of plank
and debris from the building.
Mrs. Brown, one of the teachers who
was hearing recitation or teaching
class at the time when she found
/ erself after the wind passed still held
ner watch and book in her hand and
some of the children who were at the
blackboard and who ran to Mr.. Shea
lys still held to tie chalk erasers that
they had in their hands at the time
the storm came. Along with the wind
it must be remembered there was a
terrible downpour of rain.
Every one is thankful that it was
no worse and that no lives were lost.
The trustees carried some fire insur-
ance on the building, but no storm in
surance. 1t was only last year that
another room was added to the build
ing. A new building will be erected.
The school term was nearly out for
this term.

We understand upon reliable infor-
nation that Supervisor Sample has

the split log drag upon roads trav-

That is a fine arrangement. These
roads should have first attention be-
cause TIE continuance of the service
depends to some extent upon the con-

the carriers are entitled to a passable

"THE FORTUNE OF WAR"

The sinking of the Lusitania is
fearful thing. The loss OF twelve hun
dred lives is terrible to contemplate.
But it is just what the captain of the
vessel said: "It is the fortune of war"
Old Sherman gave a good definition of
war and t3at definition stands good
today. "War is hell" And you can't
make anything elseAout of it. What
do people go to war for except to kill
one another. There is no such thing
as civilized war. There is nothing
civil about it. 1t is butcnery and bar
barism and does not belong to civil
ization. 1t is TIE brute force in US
holding sway and dominion.
The people who went on that YES
sci, whether American or otherwise,
went on there with knowledge of what
they might expect If they were not
willing to take the risk they should
not have gone aboard. II was BEL
ligerent ship-a snip of one of the
warning nations and Germany had
given fair notice that she was going
to do the thing if she had the oppor-
tunity, and as we see it she mad the
right to blow the thing into atoms.
The vessel was loaded with ammunf-
tion to supply the enemy to kill the
Germans, and it is part OF war for
Germany to destroy t1at which was
intended to be used to destroy her, if
she had the opportunity, and those
Americans who were on there had
fair warning what to expect, and if
they got uaeir medicine they should
take it like men.
What right had Americans on an
enemy's ship if they did not expect to
receive the same treatment tnat would
be given the enemy?
1t is just like the captain said. cit
is tie fortune of war"
We know that there are a great
many people who will not agree with
US in the position here taken, and we
suppose our opinion will count for
very little, but it is our privilege to
express it and we nave done so.
We notice that the government at
Washington is very much puzzled and
that Mr.. Roosevelt thinks that we
should fight. We are sorry for those
Americans VINO lost their lives on this
ship, but when they took passage on
one of the belligerent ships and in the
face Of the notice which Germany had
given, and tnat ship carrying NUM-
tions of war for one of the belligerent
nations, baey took their lives in their
own keeping and the rest Of us should
not be expected to go into war on that
account. "It is the fortune of war"

THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

Mr.. Chas. P. Barre, VITO was ap-
pointed county superintendent of edu-
cation by the State board at its meet
ing on Friday, is a fine and clever
young man. He is a graduate Of New
berry college and afterwards took the
law course at the University OF South
Carolina, and is now practicing law.
He never has had any experience as
school teacher or as the manager OF
a sc.ooI except a little work he did
in the night schools at the mills dur
ing the past winter. His profession is
the Iawf for which he has prepared
himself and which he expects to make
his life work. And which he will not
abandon and which he says he will not
abandon. He is bright and clever and
will throw energy and enthusiasm in
the work for the schools.
The State board gave no public
notice of the meeting that was neld on
Friday. Me- Wheeler, who lad been
an applicant, had intended to with
draw his application inasmuch as he
has accepted the position he now holds
for another year, the board of trustees
very wisely having given him an in
crease in salary. Mr.. Aull, who had
been an applicant, desired to file with
the board an endorsement from ma
jority of tie trustees of the county, not
with a view of receiving the appoint
ment, but to refute the charge which
he heard some member Of the State
board had made, that the board would
stultify itself to reappoint him, ne
having been defeated, by the people
and was inefficient. When Mr.. Aull
heard on Friday afternoon that the
board was to meet, he wired Mr..
Swearingen that he desired to file the
endorsement above referred to, and he
went to- Columbia and did so. He had
the endorsement of dairty-fve or forty
of the school districts, and could nave
had more if there had been time to see
the trustees, but he realized that even
if he had had the endorsement Of
every man, woman and child in New
berry he would not nave been appoint
ed, and therefore only desired to file
the endorsements as justification OF
his record He appreciates very much
the endorsement given him by the
trustees of d1e county and prizes it
more than ne can say.
Mr.. Barre, as stated, is a clever
young man and We have assured min
privately, and do so now publiclyy~of
our hearty cooperation with him in
any way that We may be able to help
him and tie schools of Newberry coun-
ty, both Individually and as editor of

The joys and honors of this world
are indeed fleeing. A case in proof is
that of Frank A. McGowan, mayor of
Trenton, n. J., in 1887 and once ranked
as owning from three to five million
dollars. A short time ago he was arrest
ed for begging a dime from a police
man at Hoboken and recently he died
charity patient in a Hoboken hospi-
tall His downfall dates from the time
when he skipped from New Jersey to
Oklahoma with the wife of another
man.
