Edsrefield Advertiser TrOS. J. ADAMS,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 29. ILOJOHN LAKE AND THE JOHN STON INSTITUTE. When it was known at Johnston and in the surrounding country that Prof. Hartzog had resigned as principal of the Johnston Insti tute, the trustees and patrons thereof wero much agitated and deeply concerned as to where such another, who could measure up to his preceptive qualifications, could be found. But, as Edge field has never yet failed to furnish from her midst the man for the p]ace-any place-so in this she has given to Johnston oue of her very own, cherished, beloved, and < honored. Rev. John Lake, who has been elected principal of Johnston In stitute, has been one among many of Edgefield's sous who has not been without honor in his own country and among his own brethren. As a child he was known for his quick perceptive faculties and his unusual literary attainments. At an early age he stood the best ex amination in the county for en trance to the Citadel Academy, where he distinguished himself in his classes, and was considered the most popular young cadet at that institution. His popularity, how ever, was based on that solid es teem which comes from respect and affection. While there he gave a new impetus to the young peo ple's religious movement which in this ago is sweeping through the schools and colleges of America. He also attended tho Theological Seminary in Columbia, taking a special course there. He has been eminently successful- as a pastor and leader, having to a great ex tent rejuvenated each chureh which he has served. For some years he has boen editor of "This Way," which, as the organ of the Y M. C. A., has been highly com mended and adopted by that or ganization as its medium of com munication for the two states qi Georgia and South Carolina. Af a teacher, Mr. Lake has had ex perience varied enough to fit hirx for the work - he has ^undertaken ie has taught, and has travelled much, bringing him in COLUC ----s---1 ;-? d possesses that . enthusiasm ?aa?, vim, and energy, which thii "?y-?iidgeneration demand. H< is of that mental diathesis whicl makes him enveI<yp~wirkJ^8_whol< heart whatever work he under takes. Edgefield will havo nc cause to he ashamed of this eon o: her Boil, and the people of John eton have, indeed, made a wis? choice, as did their former teacher Prof. Hartzog, who selected Mr Lake himself as his most suitable and desirable successor. ^ STARTLING TIGUKES. The following figures are from the Auditor's books and the School Commissioner's apportionment of the school fund of Edgefield county : Pickens school district paid last year from the 3 mill constitutional tax into the county treasury for school purposes, $1326 4 41 ; and on polls, $284; making a total of $1,548.41. Of this $1,548.41 paid into the county treasury by the taxpayers ofj Pickens school dis trict for school purposes, the school commissioner returned to said dis trict in his apportionment only $643.70, a. difference against the taxpayers of about $900. In Talbert Township $506.02 were paid in taxes to the school fund, and $576.90 are returned to that township by the school com missioner's apportionment, sev enty dollars and eighty-two cents more than was paid in. Tn Mose Township $631.03 were paid iu taxes, and $668.80 returned to the township for school pur poses. These apparent discrepancies run through the whole apportion- | mwiit, and do not seem tobe ex-1 actly right and fair, although they are a- cording to law. We have not space to elaborate these mat ters now, but next week we shall take up the subject again. We pimply want to call the attention of our Pickens school trustees to the injustice of the present system of apportionment that they may j devise a remedy. SPARE THE BIRDS.

By O Sheppard-Report Read Before the Edgefield Association* Education seems to be the watchword of our day ; this ia well but education, so called, is not the panacea of all the ills that flesh ii heir to. What is education? It it certainly not simply the training and development of the mental faculties alone ; mere intellectual ity is not, and cannot be, considered as education in its truest and highest sense. Any system of education which fails to develop the moral and spiritual natures of our eons and daughters will inevitably fail in its purpose to make the world better. Heart culture-spiritual development belong to, and are inseparable frcm, a correct appreciation of what education is in its true and better sense. Education in its fullness means that there should be a trained mind, a consecrated Christian heart and a sound body, all united and working harmo niously in the same person. This is the only education that can ?result in making full rounded men and women such men and women as will be worthy of the life that has been given to us; such men and women as will be capable of meeting the responsibilities and duties that are inseparable from our natures; and such men and women as will tend to make the world brighter and better andi worthy of tho hope that is ours, | and of the eternal joyp to which our hopes unquestionably point. Such an education as is above set forth can be obtained by r ir sons in Furmau University, and by our daughters in the Greenville Female Coll? ge and in the Cooper Limesone Institute. Then ?a Christians, as Baptists, we should support these institutions. They are well equipped and afford al] the facilities necessary to obtain a full, complete education, both of j the mind and heart. Our duty to our denomination, to our childreu and to the memory of our fathers, demand that we Bhould support, both with oar moral and financial strength, our own institutions, and not be swayed from the path of duty by this new evangel of free education which is and can be free only in name, for nothing that is so priceless aB a full rounded educa tion can be obtained free. The sham pretence that education can be obtained free in our State institu tions, or anywhere else, is, we ap prehend, but the clap trap of the demagogue, who always finds ?it so easy to be generous and liberal with the public money, and who generally masquerades in the habiliments of patroiotism and philanthropy. We do not mean to tear down or to impair the use fulness of any of our State institu tions, but we do mean to insist that it is our duty to support our own institutions, and to do this even though it might result in some impairment of what are called State institutions. State schools, constituted as they are, never can and never will be able to develop men and women of full rounded Christian chaiacter; such characters as are acknowl edged by the wisest men of earth and proven by the experience of ages, to be the highest, purest and noblest type of character that can be moulded out of human material. It is enervating to the sturdy manhood and noblest citizenship of the State to be fed with crumbs from the public crib. The State should only be expected to extend the aegis of her protection to her oitizeus, in insuring to thom the enjoyment of life and liberty ; and 1 affording to them the necessary ? means to be appropriated by them . in the pursuit of happiness. The State should be supported by her citizens, and not raverse this healthy principle, and thu* have '. the.citizens looking to the State f forsuppoit. To do this tends to ) weaken the independence of the i citizen, which is so) essentially necessary to thc development of au ideal citizenship. But after all, in the matter of ' education, the greatest respou 1 sibility r^sts upon the parente 3 of our country. It is t?he f duty of parents to give theil chidren the very best education thal their means will afford. Nc consideration of personal comfort, social preferment or accumulation - of wealth should tempt them tc ignore this important matter The obligations of parents to theil children are clearly inculcated ic S the Old aud Ne\v Testaments e Neglect upon the part of pareuti brings a curse upon the home anc I upon society in these days, jus: as it always has done.

The bladder was created for one pur pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, andas such it is not liable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way is from im perfect action of the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the womo, like the blad der, was created for one purpose, and if not doctored too much is not liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated baok of and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or usinary passage is often, by mistake attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. The error is easily made and may be a9 easily avoided. To fin-J out. correctly, set your urine aside for 24 hour; a sediment or settling indicates kidney or bladder trouble. The mild and tue extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the- great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon real ized. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

If VDU Please? I wish to freshen up the minds of the people of Edgefield and Saluda counties as to my humble occupation, and to say to them that I am still in the middle of the ring. I am 51 years old and have never stolen anything yet (at least I have never been caught at it), and ft is too late in life to start roguery now, that is to make a success of it. I have, therefore, concluded to bang on to poverty and honesty, at least I will hang on to honesty, aud I know pov erty will hang on to me till the end comes. Let her hang, who's afraid? If you want anything in my line, fixing colts, drop me a postal card one line is as good as forty-at Butler P. 0.
