THE MANNIN TIMESa WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1887 B. S. DINKINS, Editor. It is gratify ng to learn that so ma nv of the teachers of the county will attend the normal institute in Sumter next week, beginning on Mrnday. The efforts of the School Commissioners of the two counties in perfecting the aauangements for the Institute, deserve the plaudit of well done from all, and especially from the teachers; and the highest compliment the teachers can pay to the labors of the Commission ers is to attend the Institute. It is for the teachers and for them solely, and therefore, unless they are present at its meetings, and profit thereby, the Institute will be a signal failure. Never at any other time in our histo ry, has the public mind been more in terested in the common cause of free school education than now. The pub lie money is being spent to improve and elevate the teachers, andthey owe it to their counties, their patrons, and above all, their pupils, to take every advantage of the means now being provided for their enlightenment All who possibly can, should attend the Institute next week. It will be a week most profitably spent, with but little cost. The Williamsburg S!ar and Hr cid speaking of the union between Clarendon and Sumter to hold these annual institutes says : - It is to be hoped the scheme will be entire ly successful, for the step is progressive-in the right direction. Teaching is a profes sion, and needs to be studied as a science. New methods are displacing old ones and the teacher who is ambitious to succeed must keep up with the march of innovation and progress. Attending one of these Institutes and earnestly engaging in its exercises is very helpful to the teacher of the common school. Like one who ascends a hill, he gets a better and more extensive view of the surroundings. His ambition ip aroused by the clearer idea given of the importance of his work, and his thought is stimulated by the new methods presented and tho discus uions and lectures he hears. The late appalling railroad accident graphically described on this fourth page, eclipses all the horrible catastro phes known in the history of Ameri an railroads. The latest accounts put the total number of deaths at 156. The most revolting part of this dread ful calamity is that men, or rather fends incarnate, banded together and entered into a systematic robbery of the dead, and living wounded. It is too incredulous to believe- that their are fiends in human shape, to prey upon the property of the dead and living people amidst a scene so har rowing. It is believed that the trestle was set fire to, to -wreck the train for the purpose of robbe'y, and an arrest has been made of a man suspicioned. Panola Chit Chat, ~. EDTORPo:;o, Aug.12, 1887. Ma.E9103:Over a week of con -stant work of supervision on the pub lic highbways of Friendship township, 'with not a single day of rest or recre ation, afforded me a fine preparation for thie'full enjoyment of my trip to *Wedgefield on the 9th of August. A special invitation by Captain Brown to accompany the Panola base ballists to Wedgefield was accepted, with pleasure, for many reasons, not the ~least of which was my desire to look supon the famous farming lands in that .part of the State. W~edgefield is a very preposessing village; strictly temn *perate and religious. I suppose visi tors upon first view, would claim mnuch for it in the way of looks. We beheld as fine farming lands as can be found anywhere. These are fine cot ton farms. The character of the soil and the lay of the land indicate this at a glance. The original forest show a luxurious growth of oak, hickory atbd, pirne. The soil is red loam. The .ground is level or gently undulating; the fields are immense, almost rivaling the prairies of the west in extent. Mr. James*Aycock is the most typical and ,extensive farmer we saw. He plants :.six hundred acres of cotton and five hundred acres of corn. We boarded the fast train at Sumter, and with such rapid transit cannot tell nothing of the crops between Sumter and Wedge geld. You scarcely have time to scat -ourself comfortable before the whis ble reminds you of the place of your designation. The Panolas arrived in Wedgefield' at 11 o'clock. They were cord.ially received by Messrs. W. T. Aycock and S. L. Harvin. They had a long tedious and tiresome journey of 24t miles of wagon travel. Rooms had been engaged by the committee with every- comfort, above the large store of, Mr. Aycock, which gave rest and nerve1 for the evening battle. Every atten tion was shown the visiting clubs and what capped the .climax, a grand din ner was set in the Academy building, and each one labored with the utmost geal to satisfy the short-comings of a keen appetite. At 3 o'clock the teams left for the diamond in conveyances provided by the Wedgefields; the local club were uniformed in white; the Panolas wore blue. No occasion presented a more. brilliant display. On reaching the base ball grounds, the general appear ance of spectators gave life to the oc casion. The beautiful ladies so inthus ed the Panolas, that they thought de feat would be a serious calamity, and the struggle was the more determined on their part. The Wedgefield's are a handsome set of young men, athletic, strong, and muscular. They, if prop prly mnanaged, can make themselves the equals of maniy other clubs, if not their superior, for they fought the bat le with credit. Although the Panolas were victorious, they had nothing to boast of. This was our first visit to this beau iu vilage a stanger among strang-1 ers. We formed the acquaintance of c Captain Moseley the postmaster. I ( found him to be a gentleman of cul-, ture and exceedingly fine sensibilities.i He informed iue that the Tites was' taken by [only one subscriber, and if the editor would send a samiple Copy, it might be of inte.rest to the paper. i Do this by all means-let your light'. shine. This much I have promised; it shall not be covered under a bushel Toy. The Teachers' Institute. M. EiOR . I do not profess to have been favored with the gift of prophaecy, but in keeping with that universal axiom, coming events cast their shadows before, it mu11.st Ue plain to the least discernlng indi i that the time is not far distant, when the teachers' Institute shall be universally ac knowNledged. There are very many instanc es that might be cited to show that we, as teachers, are .coming." The advancing step of millions of children can be her.,d in the distance, and the Anglo-Americans : becoming restive. There is a cloud no hlrg er than a man's band appearing upon the disc of our horizon. that Lespealks a great change about to take place in the atihirs of educ We. as teachers, must contm to lecture upon the matenai and educational advancern ut. TLe age demand it if we ex pect to keep pace with the progress of the 19th century. An army'40,000 strong is now charged c with the education of our 10.00ih)jo youths. ? That more than one-half of our school child- i ren are in the hands of the utterly ineomu-c petent, is an astounding fact. Some far f reaching and all-pervading agency which i will effectually reach the entire body of teaehers is deuanded. We must have or ganization, and well-defined plans of work and executive power. In the etcrnal iltness of things, the teachers' institute comes to! the front as the required agency. The teach- t ers' institute, thvugh, still in its infancy. s assuming r.aamUoth proportions, and is t destined to become a permanent part of our i educational system. No means for its per- t fection should be spared. We need iusti tutes (1) to train our 400,000 untrainedI teachers; (2) to keep trained teachers bright: (3) to foster a professional spirit; (4) to 1 lead teachers to profoundly study child- I nature, and the science and art of human i culture. The.n the coriing teacher will fill and honored position among the illust-ious 1 of the earth; he wiil stand in the arena of 2 thought and action, the peer of the states man, the clergyman, and the philosopher, he will ponder well the great problems of t humanity; teaching requires talent of the I highest order. Too long have theology. medicine, law, and commerce, absorbed our best men; too long has the error prevaile < that any one can teach children. Soiety : should demand her most gifted mnca -nid I women for tEe school-roolm. Philip thank ed the Gods that Alexander was born when he could have Aristotle for a teacher. Eve- t ry child has as much iight to skilled instruc tion as the son of a king. The world's great work is to provide efficient teachers for the J masses for under his plastic hand the entire nature of the child-physical, mental, and moral--will bud, and blossom, and bear fruit. The giandest, noblest manhood will be the prodnct; then huuamity will enter upon the 'sublime phases of human possibil ities foretold by poets and philanthropists. 1 Then will be realized universal education . and universai broth'rhood. Then will we t cling to it with such undying devotion as the christian pilgrims of the middie age s cherished the last frnigment of the cross.( And in conclusion, I know of no better open ing for skilled teachers, than htre in the sweet sunny South,.where the niocking bird I sings us to sleep every night and the mag nolias kiss our checks in the morning.

As a general thing they are prescriptions having been used with great success by old and well read phys cians. 'Thousands of invalids have been unexpectedly cured by their use, and they are the wonder and dread of physicians and medical colleges in the U". S, so much so.

Hie wvould most freely place the recipe of Boschee's German Syrup and Green's August Flower uder such laws, had he the proper protection, and thereby save the prejudice of the peopie, and avoid the competition and imitation of worthless medicines.-L~piedfromn She Cdca go Xtal, Au9. 3, '87.
