&£CHOOL COMMITTEEMEN.
A Negro in Each 1ownship"One
Member Declined to Vote to
Rauty.
The Board of Education were nearly
all day Tuesday selecting the school
committeemen for the the eleven dis"
tricts in the county. Under the new
lew old district lines are abolished and
each township now constitutes a school
district. Five committeemen are ap-
p2inted in each of these and they have
charge of all the schools in their re-
apective townships.
The colored brother was somewhat a
thorn in the, way of the Board and
caused some hesitavion about making
appointments, To ignore him entirely
might stave otf the possibility of his
being used again to advantage when
next voting time comes, and too many
of him on the committees might cause
a rupture and trouble, because of the
tact thnt under this great new law the
white and colored committeemen. work
together aud the colored member kas
just as much voice in controlling the
white schools as does
ber. There was some talk of putting
two negroes onin certain townships,
but finally the compromise was made
of just tacking on one in each, right
straight through.

After the list was all made out it
was placed before the Board for ratifi-
cation, when one member, Jesse Can-
non declined to vote for it, his reason
being that he could not vote for the

$50 in money and he also claimed to

Bicycie Path
There are forty-eigl.t wheels in use
in Greenville. I expect this number to
be doubled in less than a year. Our
streets are poor for riding the bicycle.
Wheelmen, letTs have a track ? Why
no: build a double track from Five
Points tothe county gate on the old
Piank rvad, It could te done at a
reasonable cost by using this patent
paving material now being made in
this county. Atrack of that meterial
tour teet wide, vould be a fire place
for the health giving whvel.» If all
owners of wheels will share it, then
the cost would be ~ight to each one,
and they would actually get such, cost
back iu less than a year by saving the
wear and tear on the Bicycle. Riders
of wheels, what do you say? Let us
get together and devise some plan to

Business Failurss.
Business failures in the second
, quarter of the present year In-
volved liabilities to an aggregate
of $43,684,876"a8 larger amourt
~than that of the corresponding
period in any other year since
1893. The increase was due to
the Aprii crash among the New
Bedford cotton mills; and *but
for those additions the amount
-javolved in the quarter's faiures
would have been smalier than
that ofany recentyear. Without
the cotton mili failures the cur-
rent returns of the commercial
agencies might be considered
highly encouraging. according
to R. G. Dun & Co., these excep-
tional failares in one month ex-
ceed those in cotton manufactur-
ing in the whole country for three
entire previous years.
Considered in the light of this
statement the failure list indicates
a tendency to greater solyency
yn generai business. The worst
disasters of the quarter aud of
the half year were due to the
effects of the depression and
losses of previous years, from
which many had not had time to
recover. With improving busi-
ness conditions throughout the
country the subsequent records
of commercial insolvencies should
steadily become more favorable.

The Origin of Trusts.
According to the report of a
recent interview ina Yew York
paper, John Sherman has an-
nounced that he is opposed to
trusts and other combinations in
restraint of trade. Such an
announcement, coming from
John Sherman, may mean that
he is in favor of them. Those
who are familar with his public
career know that no confidence
can be placed in uny statement
he may make. This, which was
true of him in his prime,is doubly
true now that the shadows of old
age and oblivion are gathering
over his mind and memory.
_ My, Sherman is the author of
the secret legislation which
demonetized silver, and which
has made trusts in this country
possible. He now says that the
anti-trust law can be 20 amended
aa to destroy the trusts, but this
18 & statement that means noth-
ing. Trusta are the natural
outcome of the contraction of
business, trade and profits due
to the contraction of currency.
: The theory that a prohibitive law
ean be made effective is a fallacy
| the face of it, for currency
contraction drives all business
; and all capital into concentrated

Frayea for Rain.
At the openings of Sunday
morningTs service at the Kpiscoe
pal eburch Rev. Dr. F. J. Murdoch
offered up in his prayer a petition
for rain. Before the services
were concluded it was raining,
Dr. Murdoch then offered up a
prayer in thanks for the rain.
The incident created consider-
able comment among .those who
were present'"Salisburv World.
Possibly it has been reserved
for a Hillsdale (N. J.) Methodist
parson to solve the problem of
beneficence.� He
has adopted the plan of having

handsomest and most popular
young ladies of tre ficck. The
youpg men are in desperete

up going to church altogether,
which won't he!p them with the
young ladies. or they must odo
