condition of the county TO the best OF

ture debts, we understand, will be met

ing to education. and that all schools
are being run on cash basis
The Public Building Committee re-
ports that it has inspected all public
buildings of the county and begs to
recommend that roof OF jail be repair
ed 10 order to stop leaks in same. and
the cutters of jail be inspected and re-
paired where needed and further rec
omenos that the city water and sewer
age bs installed in the jail for benefit
of inmates. The committee reports
further that it notes a few minute
breaks in ceiling of court house. but
understand that these breaks are be-
ing repaired as fast as conditions per.
nit The committee iurther recon-
mends that the sanitary conditions OF
the court house be investigated and i'm
provements made at earliest date pos
sible.
The Chain Gang Committee reports
that it has visited the camps and find
same in fairly good condition and the
stock well kept. This conmitte would
like to call the attention OF tbe Super
visor to the fact that the guards have
failed to get a sufficient amount Of
work out of prisoners ln their charge
particularly the Salem gang.
The grand jury's attention having
been called to supposed overchar2es in
delinquent taxes took up this matter
and investigated same. With the ev-
idence before US we have been unable
to substantiate this charge.
All OF the foregoing is respectfully
submitted. Thanking your Honor and
all court officials for courtesies shown

The best money maker on the farm
is the hen. She turns grass into green
backs. grain into gold, and from the
sand and gravel she coins silver. There
is nothing else on the place to compare
With her. The cattle and horses are
her heavy customers, and to get this
value we must part with them, but not
so with the hen. In her small way she
r is gold mine on the face of the earth,
mill that grinds that which others
overlook or refuse. So pull for the
poultry show.
Rev. 3. F. McLendon has been
preaching here for more than ten days

zeal in awakening sinners and in Stir

better works. his appeals to the fathers
and mothers and his warnings to the
girls and boys in his own inimitable
way, attract and hold the people to bis

and drive the team on foot. In doing
so he Inadvertently got in front of the

by his foot getting caugat in peavine,
the blades caught him before he could
get out of the way. AS q result his
left foot was nearly cut of. Both bones
just above the ankle we're cut in two.

was given medical attention in short
time and Friday morning he was taken
to Sumter for hospital treatment in the
hope of saving his foot. Mr.. Galloway

the meetings, and their interest was
very gatifying.

both. Both addresses were we'll suited

How Purple Dye Was DiseoVeree.
It IS often said that the old Phoeni-
clans discovered the purple dye In the
murex she'll by observing a dog which
had eaten one Of the moIlusks and
thus colored his chops with rich pur-
pie stain. The ancients were accus-
toned to hunt the murex by the as
sistance Of pointer dogs. Some Of the
myths say that Heracles by the aid Of
his dog first discovered the purple
murex.

Just as the setting sun shed its
lingering ray over the earth all tnat
was mortal of Mrs. Jane A. Long was
laid to rest in Colony cemetery amidst
large crowd of sorrowing friends
and former pupils. Her life was one
it would be well to follow. She sleeps
tonight amid bed of flowers but of
all tae appropriate offerings was a
sheaf of wheat. Truly she had soWn
and now she had come bringing in the
sheaves. As the funeral procession
passed Johnstone school where sne
labored long and faithfully the same
bell she had rung out joyfully so many
times was tolled by kind friends. No
need to write Of her for she was well
known and loved. To need any more
said all we can add is, Blessed is

Mrs. Jane !. Long.

Mrs. Jane A Long died at her home
on Saturday, June u, at the age of 70
and was buried on Sabbath afternoon
at Colony church.
Mrs. Longs maiden name was Mar
tin. She was reared in the Kings
creek community. She was sister
of the late J. G. Martin who moved
to Texas many years ago and prac-
ticed law until his death 10 years
ago.
Mrs. Longs early education was OBJ
tanned in her neighborhood schools.
She afterwards attended the Woman's
College of Due West, one the first
College of the college. Among der
classmates was Mrs. Mary Galloway
Griffin, the first missionary of the A.
R. P. church to Egypt, who was also
reared in this county and was a
daughter of the Rev. Jonathan Gallo
way.
Mrs. Long taught school in this
county about As years. Her first school
was in ga at Broad river. Among her
pupils was J. L. Hughey. Her next
school was near Excelsior school
then known as the George Maffett
place. She then taught in her own
neighborhood which is now Mt. Bethel.
Then she moved to Prosperity and
taught in the O'Neall section of the
county VIE her usefulness seems to
have begun. From here she taught at
Johnstone for number of years. She
also taught at Garmany. Her last
work has been at the Mollohon mill.
She was the first teacher after the
mill was organized 10 or II years ago.
She has taught three generations, the
mothers, daughters, and grandchil-
dren. Her pupils are to be counted
by the thousands in Newberry and
surrounding counties. She could easily
be called the mother of the schools of
this county. Her pupils are to be
found in all walks of life, cotton mill
operators, farmers, doctors, lawyers,
bankers, merchants and preachers.
Mrs. Long was consistent member
of the A. R. P. church.
For such life as this spent would
it not be wise for her pupils and
friends to organize memorial So
ciety known as the Jane A. Long edu-
cational Society with a small member
ship whose object shall be to keep at
least one boy or girl in college? What
does some of her pupils as T. j. Will
son, A. H. Kohn, DR.. G. Y. Hunter,
Tintz Morris and others think of this.
We are glad to know that Ter busi-
ness affairs and personal wants have
been cared for by Mr.. G. W. Summer,
president of Mollohon Manufacturing
company.
