THE MATNING TIMES. Mannin g, s. c. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, December 5, 1888, TURN THEM OUT. Nor State in the Union has ever suf fered more from Republican influence than has South Carolina. It seems like a hideous nightmare-those eight years of carpetbag misrule. South Carolinians turn, and for good rea son too, shudderingly from a white man in this State who casts a ballot that might possibly be instrumental in restoring a condition of affairs sim ilar to the past. We do not fear any such terrible catastrophe as the resto ration of the carpetbagger, but it mht be among the possibilities. above we think is the general seatiment of the State. Of course no efforts are ever made to force a man to vote the Democratic ticket. We believe in a free ballot. But when a man is employed to teach our chil dren, to shape their destinies proba bly, it seems tQ us that great care should be exercised in the choice. We clip the following from the Orangeburg Times and Democrat, ev ery word of which we endorse: The Spartanburg Herald of last week says it is reported that two of the Professors at the South Carolina College walked up to the os on November 6th' and deposited two can tickets, much to the disgust and 'igation of the students under them. Is it true? This is a free country, where every man is entitled to his opinions. It is a free country, also, where people can employ whom they prefer to teach their sons. There are many good men who are Republicans and patriots to the union. But in South Carolina, where Republican success is fraught with such menace to all our civiliza tion and welfare, no South Carolinian can at the same time be a Republican and a pa triot to South Carolina. A man has a right to hissopinion, and he may hold it here in South Carolina without hindrance or harm, but his opin ons are a part of him and may, if he asks o favor, prove him unworthy of our confidence. We think the trustees of the South Carolina College madeE grand mis take in employing any such men to teach our Southern boys. There are men in the South, to the manor born, eminently qualified to fill every posi tion in that college and why go North for teachers? It is a State institution, supported by State funds, and ought to be Democratic in influence. Those two -professors, whoever they are, should be asked at once to tender their resignation, and then let the trustees do what they ought to have done a first, elect Southern men to the posi tion. HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS. School teachers should be progres sive. Every teacher should be a hard student, and each year be better fitted to teach school than.he was the pre ceding year. A third grade teacher of one year should be a second grade the next year, and a first~ grade the following year. All nature teaches that we must be either progressive or eetrogressive, and the retrogressive teacher is unfit for the school room. A teacher ought to endeavor to keep his school supplied with the very best text books; such as are best adapted to the children he is teaching, and such as wiR-yield best results. Such a book is "Smith's Physiology and Bygiene."' It is a small book, writ ten in a clear, aimple, beautiful style, and as interesting as anoveL. A child who can .read intelligently in the third reader can study it. Physiology and Hygiene is an im potn study. It does not, in this 'itl book, enter into minute details, but briefly gives a fair idea of the meanism of our own bodies, and how to take care of them. It shows the evil efects on the system of nar cotics and stimulants. It gives the young student some idea of how won derfully and fearfully-we are made. We call attention to this book for several reasons. We have been using 16 in the school room for several years, and know whereof we speak. The State board of education has placed this book on the list of common school studies, and teachers are now exam ined on this subject the same as they are on arithmetic and grammar. Any man or woman who dares aspire to the .dignity of a teacher .can easily -teach the book, even if~, as we have heard of several instances, they never before heard oQf such a study as phys iology and hygiene. Dr. McBryde, president of the South Carolina College, says of this work: "A careful examination of 'Smith's Primer of Physiology and Hygiene,' and 'The Human Body and its Health,' has impressed me very favorably with their merits. Science primers are not infrequently anything btelementary, condensation is at tained at the expense of clearness and simplicity of treatment. Smith's are really what they profess to be-ele mentary text books of science. The presentation of their subject matter is excellent, the langtage simple, the style easy and interesting, the topics well chosen, the explanations clear, and the illustrations numerous and effective. They are, in my opinion, admirably adapted to the wants of the teachers and the eapacities of the pupils of our public and private schooks.a We hope to see this little book in troduced in evc-y school in the coun ty. It costs very little, about thirty or forty cents, and is published by Ivison, Blakeman & Co., of New York if any teacher will send 35 cents to B. E Park, general agent for the South, Macon, Georgia, he will send him a copy post free, and we advise every teacher in the county to get a copy at once. This is no advertisement, but we are interested in the school system of the county, and wish to see all the improvements possible. The New York Heraldt claims that the recent presidential election cost five hndred nilion dollars. South Carolina neither needs nor wants any Republican professors in her State College. Turn'them out. We are unavoidably forced this week to omit our report of the Legis lature. We shall give it next week. Congress convened last Monday. The President's message was received and read. It was an able document. He recommends a change in the tar iff laws, and makes many other salu tary suggestions. Simmons Liver Regulator produces no unpleasant effect upon the stomach no mat ter how long it is taken. A little taken at night insures refreshing sleep and a natu ral evacuation of the bowels. A little taken in the morning sharpens the appetite, cleanses the stomach and sweetens the breath. "I never recommend a medicine unless I know it to be good. In a ministry of twenty-five years I have often felt the need of such a medicine, and when I found it I exclaimed: 'Eureka" "-Rev. J. P. HAms, Proprietor "Christian Visitor," Smithville, N. C. Summerton News-Notes. Sunma'roN, Dec. 3.-A week of pleasant weather after the rains and storms. Rev. T. E. Wannamaker is in Winnsboro, attending Conference. Collections on the Santee circuit have been excellent, the preacher's salary paid in full, and other collections very good, considering the short crops. We hope Mr. Wannamaker may be returned another year. Several from our village attended Gala Week in Charleston. In my last article I should have said Mr. Levi took the blue ribbon for single driving. The other prizes were won by Mr. Levi after I left the Fair grounds. The burning of the store of S. E. Strange & Co., in Salem, falls heavily on Dr. B. M.

C. An Experience. CHrrrAnooGA, TEN., June 27, 1888. The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Qa.: Gentlemen:-In 1884 a friend of mine contracted a terrible case of blood poison, and at once sought the advice of the best physicians. After a four months' trial, with a feeling of greatest despondency, le left Chattanooga for Hot Springs, where he remained three months. The treatment there did not seem to do him any good, and with a crushed spirit and with death in its worst form staring him in his face, he came home. He saw an advertisement of your medicine. As his friend I supplied him with the first few bottles. I was astonished at the result. After the third bottle the sores all disappeared, and his recovery was rapid. In three months he was hard at work, and there has been no return of the disease. I withhdld his .name from the public, but will send :t in confidence to any who write for it. I give this certificate cheerfully. D. B. DAvEronr. 13 and 159thst. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. THE Swzrr SPECIFIC Co., Drawer 3, Atlan The Conductor and the Baby. CHrsTER, S. C.. Nov. 20.-When the Nar row Gauge train from Lenoir came in last Saturday afternoon, there were among its passengers an unknown lady and an infant apparently some three or four months old. When the train stopped at the depot the 'lady asked prmission of Conductor Leard [Mr. Harry Iard, who was a resident of this town about three years ago.-Editor Txns) to leave her child in the car while she attended to some business. The re quest was cheerfully granted and nothing more thought of the matter. When same train pulled out for Lancaster at 3.5 P. M~., the cries of an infant attracted the attention of the passengers, who, upon in vestigation, found the little stranger on a seat, half frozen and without mother or even a nurse. A kind-hearted lady on board took the child to the stove where it was thoroughly warmed, and everything possible done conducive to the little passen. ger's comfort. Still it was without visible ownership. Conductor Leard was in charge of the train, and. by virtue of his position, in charge oftall its passengers, to see that they are carried safely through to their destina tin. This hapless decree of fate placed upon him an entirely unexpected responsi bility-one, in fact, amounting to a dilem ma. He is young, kind and courteous, ever attentive to the comfort of his passen gers; but this forced upon him a rnew roe. For a while his predicament was bewilder ing. Finally a good Samaritan of Fort Lawn came to his rescue and graciously took the little nameless traveler in his keep ing, stating that they had no such luxuries at his house. When the train stopped at that place the little fellow was borne away in the arms of its foster-parent to a new home in a strange land. It has since been learned that the woman in charge of the in fant to this place boarded the 2.45 train for Columbia, but nothing further has been heard from her, either as to her name or the reason of this strange abandonment.

Cheney & Co-Gentlemen: I have been in the general practice of med icine for most 40 years, and would say that in all my practice and experience, have nev er seen a preparation that I could prescribe with as much confidence of success as I can Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by you. Have prescribed it a great many times and its effect is wonderful, and would say in conclusion that I have yet to find a case of Catarrh that it would not cure, if they would take it according to directions. Yours truly, L. L. GORSUCH, M. D,, Office, 215 Summit St. We will give $100 for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured with Hall's Catarrh Cure. Taken internally. F. J.

E1liett Keels's Company. Enrron Trxzs:-In this time of peace and prosperity we are apt to forget the past. Musing the other day the past came up in my mind,and this question came up, who first volunteered from Clarendon in the late war? and then the form of that noble man, Elliott Keels, came to my memory. (Hie was killed on Maryland Heights charging the enemy.) He led the first company from this our home, and with Pack, Logan, Brun son, Lesesne, Butler, the Hodges, Stranges, Bradhams, and a host of others whose names will never be forgotten, helped the State to reduce Fort Sumter and open the ball to the long struggle which followed. It is true not many of this command re mains, but the few that do remain should meet and organize so as not to let the past be entirely forgotten. It was the peculiar privilege of this company to defend their State and when she no longer had need of them they came home to their families, not to remair. in peace but soon to enter again the struggle, and it can be said of them that they did their duty. Many of them laid down their lives on the battle fields of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Mis sissippi, and Georgia, and many have passed away since the war, few remaining in our midst, but that few we are anxious to see to gether again that Clarendon may have an opportunity to view them as she did that day when they as a company offered them selves to that noble soldier and statesman, State Rights Gist, who was governor of S. C. Well do some of us remember the beat of the drum on that April day in 1861 when they took up the line of march to Fort Sum ter, and the tears and good byes and the "God bless you boys," as this noble compa ny left our little town.
