After au interval of two w< eks, the Anderson Peoples* Advocate conies beck at the Dispatch with an array or figures, which are publish?d else where in this issue, which are as mis leading as its assertions aie unfounded. We have no right to eompltin of nAnicnnnrnrr't: CVlilAnt. VYftllfc of U ui wi'iJir i.u pv/* i?i j u v courtesy in neglecting to publish iu his own columns 'our rcp'y so that his readers could judge for themselves as to the merits of the cc-ct ntions of an article which he deck r s to be "weak," "untenable," "lame," and "impotent conclusions'' nor did we desire it if such a course was fiot suggested by a spit it of f tirness. We are contented in the fact that intelligent readers generally form a prttty correct idea of the strength of a criticised aiticle when the critic fears to lay the article in question before his readers before asserting that i. s C( nteiilions were lame and untenable. We not only questioned the accuracy of our contemporary's authors but in strong and evidently unanswerable arguments contended that Egyptian, and other foreign, cottonwas destined to have an adverse influence upon the cotton market of this - country, io the financial loss of the cotton growers of the South unless a duty was put up cm the former sufficient at hast to equalize the difference in the cost of production in the two countries. To which thi Advocate, at loss for a better answer, attempts to evade the issue by asseitirg that Great Britain and hncontinental neighbors had been ran sacking the world to find some favored land that would produce a staple equal to ours. Fur the strength of our contemporary's contention, this is a fatal admission. Great Britain and her continental neighbors have found the favored land which pro duces cct-'on which equals, aud is in some respects, expeits affirm, a superior staple to ours, because its color mat-/? thp nf dre nnnpepssarv and the fineness and toughness of tex lure makes in admirably adapted to the manufacture of the tine grades of goods. This being admittedly the case, as is also the further consideration that cotton can be produced cheaper with the half starved and half naked labor of that country than it can be in the South is it not preposterous to contend that Eug land, with her vast wealth, and business foresight would now shut her eyes to the grand possibilities of this land for which she and her conti neDtal neighbors have been searching so long, and especially so when some of that favored land is a part of h<r own domains. Egypt, Afiica, India, Arpv ipn rrwl Smith A nil rnisp cotton, and a?, according to our contemporary, cniy 100.000 bales of foreign raised cotton finds its way to this nmke\ it is cb ar that it goes to other markets and it must nooes sarily follow that there is a falling off in the export of Southern cotton. As to the figures used by our contemporary, be must be iu error as to their authorship or they were taken from the ceusus taken in 1800, Vol. Ill, which has just been sent out by the Interior Department, and as nearly a decade has passed since the taking of the census, and since its t iking wonderful, almost magical, progress has been made in the development of the cotton industry in the South, they are absolutely valueless as evidences of the correctness of the Advocate's position, and strengthens the contention of the Dispatch. Again is our contemporary in error when he asserts that the Democratic party has been lighting the tariff for nearly three .juarters of a century. The threatened war of which he speaks, happened under a strong Democratic administration, the policy of which was high tariff. This policy received the support and approval of a majority of the party, but was con-! demned by the rich aristocratic planters and factors in and around Charleston who shipped cotton to and j bought goods direct from England j and Franco, and they cared not a row J of pins bow much the middle and j working classes would le protected j in the products of their labor by a ; high tariff so that in the gratification j of their love for pleasure and fiueiy, j they could continue to receive their j silks and satin, and purple and tine linens and diamonds from foreign j countries free from duty. It is a self evident fact that the j industries of the North have pros- I pered and flouiished under a system j ! of protection, it is clear to even a ; : dullard that the industries of the j ! South will flourish under the same j i conditions, and if our cuntempary is so busy in raking over the ashes of the dead past that he cannot understand the trend of public events, we cauuot help him further and therefore leave him in his ignorance. tacai mi ?i ? ??????

The Dispatch extends its s'neere and hearty congratulations aud wishes for its enterprising and progressive neighbor a long life and au abundance of prospciity. All arrangements nave ueen mauu f >r the consolidation of the Canal and the Loan and Exchange Banks of Columbia. The personiul of the o'Seers of the consolidated bank is s ich as to inspire confidence in the so jndness of the institution aud the basiucss principles which will characteiise its transactions. E. W. Ilob ertson is the President, A. C. Has kcll, Vice President, and Gilbert Berry, Cashier. Mr. Julius II. Walker, the former cashier of the L tan and Exchange, has been elected Vice President of Central Xiliocal Bank, and this already strong institution will be made stronger by his connection with it.

Fulmer, died at her home, near Peak, on December 8, 1S97, in the TSth year of her age. She was a devoted member of St. John's Evangelical Lutherii Church and from the time she professed an abiding faith in the promises of God, until the day of her death, she lived a consistent Christian life -and departed hence in the full assurance of a blessed immortality beyond this vale of sorrow. Many live to hallow and revere her memory on account of the good she did, and her kindness to neighbors and friends, and her devotion to her family were household words. A Tennessee lady, Mrs. J. \Y. Towlo. of Philadelphia, Tenn , has been using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for her baby, who is subject to croup, and says of it: 'T find it just as good a* you claim it to be. Since I've had your Cough Remedy, baby has been threatened with croup ever so many times, but I would give him a d< se of the Remedy and it prevented his having it every time." Hundreds of mothers say the same. Sdd by .J. E. Kaufman 11. MASONIC. ^ A REGULAR COMMUNICATION Lexington Lodge, Xo. 1J2, F. 31., will be held on Saturday, January 1st, ls9S, at 2 p m.

I her continental neighbors and thiy ; live not yet found it. And the proof of it is found from statistics which we submit from governmental reports, the accuracy of which lie cannot afford to question, and which a ill be a sufih-ient answer to the un supported claim which he makes that ac do not produce one half the cotton <f the world. The figures are for LXOi 05, and show the total consumption of cotton in the world to be 15.757,000 bales. Oi this amount Great ihituin cou sutned 4,' St),000 bdes of cotton, the continent of Kurope consumed 5.0110,000 bales of otton, the United Slates 5.210.00 biles, and some ether countiies sin ilh r amounts. Our 1 >tal crop for that year was something near 10.000,000 bale-, showing a production of somethiug near Ihree-tourtns oi the woild's supply of cottoil by the Southern States. Those figures dispose of the Dispatch's contention, and we must accept the figures of { efliei d reports, as otherwise argument is usdess. As a further answer to the Dispatch in regard to the claim that the South manufactured the bulk of its cotton we submit the following figures as to the number of spindles in the wot Id all taken from the same source. Great Britian had 43,400,000 spindles, the continent of Euiope 28,250,000, the I'uit d States 1G,23S,100, India 3,1100v0, making a grand total of 92,893,000 spindles in the world, only a little over 1G millions of which are iu " t 1 .. i;m? iue l micu ouucs uuu it nui<; itoj than -1 millions in the South. Fioru these figures it would seem that the cotton manufactuiiug of the South is only an infinitesimal part of the manufacturing of the woild. To simplify this a little, if every cue of the 13,737,000 bales weighed 500 pounds there were 6,SOS,500,00 pounds of lint cotton consumed, which would give a little over 72 pounds per spindle. At this rate the Southern mills consumed about '2D2 million pounds. The mills of the United States consumed 1 biliiou 177 pounds, while j the mills of the rest of the world consumed 5 billion, 7S7 millions, 701 pounds, or more than five times as much as we consumed here at home, j What becomes of the Dispatch's contention iu view of these figures? And it is a lame and impotent conclusion that it anives at when itsay^ that it is tr\iug to bring the Dt-mo j cratie nartv back to its ancient faith j . 1 . I of high protection when it is recalled [ that the Democratic part}' has b;cn I for neatly three quarters of aceuturv I fighting the monster of a protective i taiifl* and that our own State came; near being plunged into war in nullif\ing this very atrocious law, and ! that almost every Democratic plat j form for that time has put the patty ; o-i record against it.

He said the doctor had his medical sell >ol, the lawyer his college, the minister his seminarv. hut everybody. without any special prepara tion, Could he a "school keep' i" if not a school teach<r. Too many tiiink they know all about the lessons they are to teach and In nee never look over them even before alt-nipt ing to teach them. Mr. Shtaly thought the lessons to be taught should at least be looked over at d j that the teacher should provide hiui ! self with as many of the books that liis students study as possible in order to fit himself to teach all the subjects and not to be content with sinmlv knowin.r the text. 1 -J o IMi-. Pvles said, study those bocks with which the instructor is the !e:ist familiar, but to peruse books already learned would be lost time. The schoolmaster should teach his pupils to study by ihst studying! himself, Mr. O. J). Seay thought he should be so thoroughly court rsant with the subject to be treated that it it were necessary he could close the text beck (for indeed it is intended to be sueli) and ask and answer all questions in the lessen with a readiness and accuracy that would at once inspire confidence and ! cause a thirst for the acquisitions of | j kuowledge. It we would cot be j narrow, and thereby cause our pupils to be narrow, we should study many authors on the same subj-et Also read periodicals which treat the sub jects we teach in older to give the pupil the most advanced thought in i every phrase of knowledge. A nice talk on the study of Amen- j can literature was given by Mr j Coker. He said the child should be j taught something about the litrra- j ture of his country what to read and j what to reject. There are many j books some of which are to be read j others are to be rejected. The same j applies to the newspaper we should j not lead every article in it, but only j that which is necessary and suited to I our needs. You may judge character | by the books that are read; therefore it is very important that the j child be taught eaily in life to read ; only tin appropriate subjects in a periodical and to devour only the best books. ' Fire and Water in the school room" was humorously discussed by Mr. L A. Sease. He thought any one who had controlled this was A f\ V.l.iAA O t\1 /I -* f 111 tunii'.u iw a juawC aiuuu^ auuv,o:iut pedagogues. Mr. S. S. L'lidler said, tint many teachers were too thoughtless about the comfort of the youth entrusted to their care. Let them go to the fire aud let them drink water whenever ihf-v desire. He thought this i . I was best though it did create noise, j Mr. C ite told us that in the schools j o? Knoxville boys were all jwed to i drink water only at recesses, with ! few exceptions. Messrs Fitzgerald, 0. D. Seav and i others made some remarks 011 the j above subject. Mr. Fitzgerald <x- j plained how he conducted a news- j piper in Lis school. He lhaught it j would be a very good plan to have j them in all schools. The Executive Committee read the j following programme for the next meeting: (1 ) English Grammar?Lev. bV. 1 K. Iloof.
