THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NEITTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, August 15,1888. THE TRAINING OF OUR TEACHERS. There are about twenty-five hun dred white teachers in the free public schools of this State. The negro teachers are about thirteen hundred. There are five or six normal schools, or normal departments, in which five or six hundred negro teachers are well taught and trained for services in the school room. Some of these negro normal schools have been in operation twenty years. Most of these institu - tions derive their support from out ie sources, only the one at. Claflin, perhaps, being assisted by the State. t Claflin there is a normal college open to negroes of both sexes. The Winthrop Training School, Columbia, under the control of the city school board, graduated, last May, sftera one year's course, eight young ladies. The last Legislature appro priated to this school fifty-one hun dred dollars to defray the expenses of one young lady teacher from each county. The State University will open this fall a normal college for young men. The State makes no other provision for professional train ing di white teachers, though the con stitution says there shall be a normal college which shall be open to all per .onswhomay wishto become teachers. For several years State normal in 9 'tes were held. These have been disontanued. Now the law allows each county to appropriate two hun dred dollars a year for the support of county normal institutes. We have no means of knowing how much of the $6,800, which may be spent, is ap propriated in this way each year. Questions of economy are now in or der. We are prompted to inquire if some more economical and at the same time wider reaching plan of training our white teachers can not be found. The $5,100 given the Winthrop Taining School, added to such sum as may confidently expected from the=Peabody Fund, would support a a u ot normal college, in which -young teachers could be prepared. As to the training of the teachers now at work the law should require that an institute be held in every county every year, and that every teacher must attend. Why not elect a State Superitendentof Education who can, or will, conduct such institutes? Why not elect county school commis sioners who can, orwil, assist in these institntesWhy pay State and coun ty ""np endnents- and then pay oth er men to do the work these superin tezdents ought to. do? Yelow Feter in Florida. Florida is infected with that terri 'he plague, yellow fever, and the State - quarantind. The mails are fumi. gated as soon as they get out of Flor da, and, no passengers from that State areallowed to enter any of the coist cities of North and South Caro lina untlthey have been out of Flor ida fif teen days. Every effort is mak ing to check the fever, but it is feared thatit will gain a firm foothold. It is suppoedto have been brought into Florid from Cuba, by the fine line of steamers running between Ha vana and Tampa. Sn Jacksonville, last Monday, there were twenty-five cases of fever, and four deaths in all bad occurred. -Charleston and Savannah are both gdi' quarantined, and iisexpected that the fever will be kept out of tlese'cities. 'The ciiuzi of Florida, who are .bae to do so, are leaving the State as last as they can. 'The Txxrs does not take kindly to tally yous T L Mcell Pub lsher Woman's Work, Atlanta, Ga.," is sending out. Our rule is: "'well known and reliable houses, and cash with order." Charleston is maing preparations for her annual gala week, which will probably be about the first of Octo ber. The pblic may expect a fine -time, a bgtime, and a pleasant time. What Chretnundertakes she anakes a success of. Some of the Democrats of Charles ton have gotten up a petition (a "Prayer to Tiiuan," the .News and orrier calls it) asking Tillmnan to re turn to Charleston to address them. The petitioners charge ring rule, un equal taxation, political combination, etc., and it smacks considerably of in dependentism. There is at present4 in this State but little difference be tween an Independent, a Greenback er, and a Radical. If there are differ-' ences among our people, as to the management of affairs, it must be fought within the party lines, if it takes-a decade to do it. Democracy must rule. eonsiderable interest is manifested, through thisajudicial circuit, in the election efa solicitor. John S. Wilson, Esq., of Manning, will go into the convention with the best hand. He has the six delegates from Clarendon and the six from George town pledged to stand by him as long as he thinks there is a shadow of a chance of his election. ,Williansburg's eight dele gates will support Ms Gilland, and Sum ter's ten. will support a Sumter man-. Six teen votes are necessary to a choice, so M~r. Wilson needs only four more to get the nomination:. In the recent- primary election in Aiken county, Paul W. McCreery, a candidate for sherif, received only 188 Totes out of a to tal of 2,7C4 votes cast. In the last number of the Aiken Recorder he thanks his friends for their cordial support, and announces himself a candidate for sheriff in the elec Teachers' Institute. Our report of the daily exercises of the Inter-County Institute, embraced its pro gress up to and including Tuesday night, at which time we went to "press." The program of Wednesday was very much of the same character, and covered the same field as the previous days, elabo rating the exercises of course, and spread ing out in every department the beauties and excellencies of each, and holding up the defective systems of the present and a by gone time, for cautious avoidance by the teachers assembled. All, however, was not smooth sailing along here, fora while. The following query found in the question box elicited lively discussion, and for a time the literary skirmishing was heard pretty well all along the lines. It was this in substance if not in words: "Is the spelling of the present time notably worse than in years gone by; and if so, why?" As previously declared, some of the brightest sallies and the stoutest defences of the week came up then. Dr. Joynes, whose graceful manner despite his years. combatted the idea of a too conclusive use of the system of objective teaching to the ut ter neglect of the older methods, which bore such good fruit as evidenced by the superior spelling of that day. With a terse yet fluent flow of the purest English, wherein lay some points hard to gainsay or answer successfully, he reviewed the subject and left something to employ the thoughts of others who did not concur in the opinions expressed. Prof Morrison, of Greenville, an excel lent scholar and a close reasoner, followed Dr. Joynes in reply and in advocacy of the system of object teaching, and laid open to the audience by force of argument and by apt illustrations the simple plans but far reaching benefits to be derived from a thorough and intelligent use of them, and more especially showing them adapted to the weak and unexpanded faculties of little children, in presenting to them occular les sons, or instruction through the eye, before the reasoning powers are suficiently de veloped to take in the subject matter, by any process of reasoning. Prof. Stokes joined in the discussion inci dentally, as opportunity would offer during his lectures, and gave the Doctor in turn something to occupy his thought. All at length came around very pleasantly and de cided that while the old system had its ben efits, so had the new, and the safer plan is to retain what is good in both, and to teach them together in the schools. Prof. Stokes's instructions and lectures evinced a high or der of teaching qualities, and that most im portant and indispensable one to ultimate success, understanding himself what he as sayed to teach others. We feel assured that no teacher at the institute, who followed him closely, can say aught than that they were greatly benefitted by the very simple yet extremely practicable methods so fully laid before them. No vague theories these, but plans that the best teachers and the most interested and zealous instructors of the day have given their time, talent, and attention to perfect. The sleepy noontide recesses, with the thermometer struggling to reach 100 degrees, was broken by pleasant surprises, such as iced lemonades and watermelons; drawing out, of course, expressions of gratitude from the beneficiaries, who were numerous. Space and time would fail us in the attempt to enumerate every feature of the institute, worthy of mention. Everything was pleas ing, and every body pleased. The evening lectures from one of the three professors before mentioned were, on each occasion, "a feast of reason and a flow of soul." The audiences were large, attceivo, and as we hear on all sides highly edified. Nor was this all: the good people of of Manning, wishing the visiting teachers to carry home with them pleasant reminiscences of their stay decided in a happy moment to give them a reception and entertainment in the court house. This took place on Friday evening, and contributed very greatly to the pleasure of the week, and furnished an occasion of festivity, just such as was need ed to usher in the sad and "good-bye" Sat urday morn. Many new friends have been made; the social hours flew swiftly by; and at last came the end when the curtain had to be dropped. The professors each took leave with kindly feelings of regret and thanks for attention shown them; and with a tap of the bell the Inter-County Institute, passed into memory and into the school history of the country, But of the results: who will undertake to calculate them? Teachers have gone home with bounding] impulses to emulate; and replete with ar dor and determination to set aright some school room, far in the cotntry perhaps, and' there the influences will spread~ around. Like the pebble thrown into the lake, it be comes agitated and spreads its ripples to1 the further shore. Some author has said: "The written or printed words are thoughts embalmed." Even so: so such exercises; they sink deep into the mind, and fnd a lasting place of abode. English Professor at Wofrord. SPRTAn3tRGsv, August 10.-At a meeting held on August 8 the trustees elected Prof. A. W. Long to fill the chair of the English language and literature in Wofford College. Prof. Long is a native of North Carolina, an A. M. graduate of the State University at Chapel Hill, has made the study of En glish a specialty, and for two and a half years filled the chair of English in Trinity College, giving eminent satisfaction, He resigned the chair at Trinity to pursue the course of English of Johns Hopkins Uni versity. He comes to us fully endorsed by the president and professor of English of Johns Hopkins as a man of varied attain ments and specially equipped for the chair to which he has bcen elected. Eminent. ministers and educators testify to his pos session of moral and intellectual capabili ties which premise much usefulness to the College and to the Church. Gov. Richardson has borrowed $50,000 at 6 per cent. from the Charleston banks with~ which to pay pension claims. The $50000 a.ppropriated by the Legislature has all been paid out since April 1st. At this rate it will take nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually to pay the pension clams. Alderman Barkelcy, president of the Eu tawville Railroad, recently returned from the North,. where he has contracted for the sixteen miles of steel rail necessary to com plete tho road to Sumiter. The rails will be delivered early in .the fall, together with two additional passenger coaches and one mixed passenge~r and baggage c.ir, which have also been ordered for the road.-Xcs From the Parsonage. BROw\wOOD, GA. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ga. Geutlemen:-This past summer my wife was away on a two months' visit. On her return home she had a wretch ed cold, which, growing worse, caused me to call in a physician. He attend ed her several weeks without benefit ing her. She, knowing the splendid effect S. S. S. had on me, determined to test it in her case. At that time she had copious and disagreeable dis charges from the left nostril. Before the first bottle of S. S. S. was used up she was much better, and a few addi tional bottles set her all right. It is remarkable that S. S. S. is good for colds and sore throats. A few months ago, I was troubled occa sionally with my throat from preach ing. I carried a bottle of Swift's Specific with me on tne circuit. Whenever my throat became irritated and annoyed me I would take a dose of S. S. S. just before retiring, and on awakening I would be well. REV. JOSEPH O. LANGSTON.

For.nsrov, Aug. 7.-Mr. Editor Dear Sir: Did you see that Frog rised up in the 'For eston Fragment, on 17th July, and attempt ed to show us that B. L. Prince is not intitle to-the honor confered upon him, by empt ing his Bag of untrue. The first faulce he told, was, that B. L. Prince was the least concerned being simply a member of Said church, when he B L. P is a member and live Stewart of Pine Grove church, and al so a Trustee, and Teacher of the Sunday School of Pine Pine Grove A. M. E. church As to the few dimes, we would like for Frog to let us know what he does call a few dimes, as he knows so much about it. If he will tell us how meny dimes he has con tributed, we would know when we contrib bute meny dimes. Now a faulce without end, is, "that B. L. Prince put forth no ef forts to the Said Building" is a notorious faulce, and can be proved by any responci ble membor much less the Officers of Fine Grove A. M. E. Church, and Readers can refer to them at any time. Now Mr. Edit or, wLy that Frog Jumpt at B. L. P. in such way we can't tell. and Frog you, when you rise again, please tell B. L. Prince what he done to you, as everybody is so much sur prise, to see such uncalled for Article. If Frog done so much that he thinks he should have credit, he ought to demand it and not try to take away some body's who worked and em theirs. Now if any one .desire to know whether these saying are so or not, they can refer to the secretary of Pine Grove A. M. E. Church or any one of the Orficers of the above church and whether, he pit forth any efforts toward the Fores ton A. M. E. building or not, and who lift and paid 'ut the amt from Pine Grove, on the said building, and also who have got in hand the receipt to show what has been paid out on the said building. Men ought to be more carfull how they strikes at an other for no cause and let what they say be true. If B. L. P. is not made foeman by the bord of building committee, we can find it out by refring to them. We learnd that Rev. Thomas Brown, on Sept3rd, 1887. formed a committee of (7) to meet at Fores ton S. C. for the perpose of building a Par sonage, and church at Foreston conecting with Pine Grove, and Biggers A. M. E. church, that committee rallaed to the call, though he not being present him self, "the committee argreed." and commence their arrangement, they take in two more mem bers. That committee was composed of Sumtor Burgos, Sydny Burgos, of Biggers A. M. E. Chu. Simon Houston, Elie King, of Foreston, Strapan Pendergrass, B. L. Prince, Sam Simon of Pine Grove. of this committee B. L. Prince was made foeman, and Simon Houston assistance. The Anual Conferenc soon came on and they could not do much, on account of get ing evrything ready for the conference, "but keep evrything still moving." and af ter conference was over Rev. C. F. Brogdon come in. He asked committee to please hurrow and provid away for him and fami ly as soon as possible which they did, and soon had him and family in the Parsonage. B. L. P. took Strapan Pendergrass, went up to Mr. Land & Mason get them to order some Furniture, went and saw the Stewart esses, got them to come and fixed up the House and soon B. L. P. took his Horse and wagon. gethered up all the provision in his sezion carred it to him and told him to live and and preach. And he is doing so find, that he is allmost too fat to preach. the wether being so worm. So Frog, when you rise again please come a little near the truth, Idont like to talk with alman so far from the Road, you being a stranger. Please pardon me for calling you Frog and you name is P. "but I only called you that" be cause P. Stands for Poles and Tadpoles are small Frogs. So good by I will see you later. F. BUCKLEN~'SARNICA SVALE. The best salve in the world for Cuts, Bruises.
