S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1890. THE LEGISLATIIRE. For the past week the legislature has put in some hard work, and by hard fight ing the reformers have succeeded in acting on most of the measures suggested by Governor Tillman in his inaugural ad dress. Of course everything could not be done in one session, and especially one so short as custom has made the sittings of a South Carolina legislature, but the work of reform has already commenced, and the people will not regret having so generously supported the reform movement. The bill to further regulate the practice of physic and surgery in this State, which was advocated by Representative Woods, was indefinitely postponed. The bill to reduce the sheriffs dieting fees in county jails was killed. The office of jury commissioner is to be abolished, and the duties of said office will hereafter be attended to by the clerk of court The bill giving circuit judges the power to open and set aside and grant new trials, when transcripts of trial justices judgments have been filed in the office of clerk ot court, was killed. The bill to create a phosphate commission wu assed The legislature is to adjourn to-day in ac cordance with an established custom. One of the important bills that baa been passed by the general assembly was theone to abolish the department of agriculture and thwoffice'of commissioner of agriculture. The duties of the commissioner of agri culture will now devolve upon the trustees of Clemson College. The bill to provide separate coaches for the races waskilled. Those opposing it did so uponl the ground of inexpediency. The Philadelphia I-nes in speaking of the defeat of Senator Wade Hampton and the election of J. L. M. Irby says: "That the meaning of it is a breaking away from the old aristocrat traditions, and a general -itical confusion, out of which South is to work out her own salvation, and South Carolina will eventially take her - in.the advancing columns of the new The people of South Carolina love and-respect Wade Hampton. But he has neither gone into the new movement nor resolutely fought it, and he has fallen by the way side amid universal regret." General-MasterPowderly, chief of Knights of labor, says that there is no necessity to form a new political party, but to form a new political movement having a definite object in view. The Knights of Labor and the Formers' Alliance vsl very probably act in harmony with each other. Col. Irby was to have resigned his position an speaker of the house of representatives yesterday. Severalmembers were mention ed for the place, and a lively race was look ed for DAVE TUCKER On the Free School Nystem. The following letter was received a few, days ago, and as it affords so much food for relection on the subjict under discussion I answer it in this public: manner: "Dzczm 4, 1890. Mr. D. Tucker-Dear Sir: Can you in firm me why it is that in the State of South Carolina. so prolific in educational talents, with few exceptions our colleges and schools are equipped with professors and teachers who are non-native South Carolinians? Yours truly, WIrLInM H--" H~o, Willam, I can't tell you why it is. There seems to be a streak of some kind of edlucational reform going on with "the pow ors that be in regard to the educational in terest of the State, which consists princa pally in the employment of alien or non native teachers in all of our institutions of learning of the State, with large salaries at .:toiesierhm talen~s bhyit isthus Iafmot see. It seems to me that as the people pay the taxes that sup port our colleges and schools, in the selec tion of teachers all things being equal preference should be given to home talent. Whta sad commentary upon our boasted university and other colleges almost unlim Itedi mnumber that they turn out graduates incompetent to take charge -of our schools. What inducementsaare-ofiered to students ~; who after laboring fcr years preparing Sthemseles as teachers, to kow that the avenues of the profession are closed against ~'them by non-employment because of the stigma of being native-horn attaches to 'them. Sueh astate of facts makes one al msast .curse the land of birth. This, how ever, isthe sad, lamentable facts, and really, William, I cannot account forit. The whys and wherefores thereof is beyond my comn When the Clemson college matter was be tng agitated last year, its advccates claimed that besides being a pure and simple farm ers' boys'taig ool,it would bepre sided over by home talent. But Io and be bold,. what. have we? It seems that the trustees -of the institution hjve scoured the 10 'hole four winds of the United States to get paessors, and poor little South Carolina's hoetalent got only the "scraps" left after the 'loaves andsahes" had been shared out anmonag others than of the "manor born." Is this right?- is it just to those deserving appliantst of the manor born who have no fr~doubt spent the best years of their lives pre paringthemselvestoflljust these positions? iet it is evident that the trustees acted consonant with the old adage. "A prophet Is not witliout honor save in his own coun try. "Oh! my country, 'tis of thee." Well, may bit is right, but some how I I ca n't see when and where the right comes n.How mach of the Isrge salaries are spent or invested in the State? Very little, if any. On the contrary it is carried with out the State and spent or invested at the 'p tvhomes of these alien or nor,-native - pofessors and teachers, thereby impoverish rog the State justthatmuch. Ihave no quar sel with the trustees, neither do I impugn * or question their motives or actions in the matter, nor am I envious of the recipients -of their (State) bounty. They are all hon est and conscientious gentlemen, and no doubt with the lights before them acted in good fath and for the best,hbutlIcant help *- thinking that these positions, or at least a majority of these, could and should have been fdlled by natives of the State. Nqow, I am done with the "b:g fish" and will arraign the '"small fry." The mode and manner of governing our eammon free schools now in vogue is a co lonial farce. In the first plae'e the salaries paid competent teachers would beggar a gat, and good teachers cannot be procured aasueh salaries:-'tas fntile to expect it. The result is that "old hacks" who just squezed through an exarination are employed, whose chief concern consists in doing as httle teaching as possible, and drawing theirsalarieswith promptness and dispatch, and sad to say it is invariably the case. The applicant from "abroad" if only from an ajining county is given the preference in selecting a teacher, wl n abundant home talent abounds in our '~mdst. T1hen it seems to me t our teachers are given to "foreign ideas" about this mode of teaching. There are more maps, charts, and new-fangled apparatuses used in teach ing than when I attended school, and I don't see that they make any smarter schol ars than in the days of long ago. I see that b-a-k-c-n as spelled in Webster's blue back speller is the same as in these high-faluting spellers that cost so much to buy. It al most bankrupts a poor man to buy school books now, to be changed for a new set with a change of teacher. It is attempted now to cram orthography, etymology, syn tax, and prosody all at once and from the samne book into a ha, be pupiL. Why this sysembeats the sausage stuffer all to smash, with the cutter thrown in. When I went to school in the good old days of long ago we - had our lessons to learn at night for the --next day, and, many the happy hours rye spent at the dining room fire after supper advi' my next day's lessons. .How is it now. Wy by this new-fangled way the -scholar has to write out his next day's les ano sus the evening and night previous, and band them in tothe teacher the next day for correction if necessary, thereby mag the child's parents aid in teaching with~out a bedamni having around . obewants the-square root of 7642, Lizzie the principal rivers in Russia, and Fannie the capitals of the States of the Union. Mind now, all this has to be written out and handed the teach er to-morrow. Then it goes along until bed-time and generally leaves my mnind in a whirl of which this communication is an evidence. I was in hopes my school days were over with, but it seems they have just begun with extensive variations. I have about made up my mind to quit pulling chestnuts out of the fire for our teacher, but I don't reckon I will, for she is just such a Dice young lady-a native born-sings so sweetly in our choir that I rickon I will have to just help her any way, and then again I might some day be a widower, and then-.

Disgusted With a Doctor. I contracted a severe case of blood poison in 1883, 'and my physicians put me under a mercurial treatment of three months without doing me any good, in fact I was gradually growing worse. 'I then consulted an other physician, who tried me with potash and sarsaparilla, but with no better result. I then became disgust ed with doctors and their remedies, and commenced taking Swift's Spe cific (S. S. S.) After' taking seven bottles I was entirely cured, and I have not had any symptoms of a re turn since. I have recommended S. S. S. to others, who have used it with the same good results. J.

CHArANooGA, Dec. 21.-The Su preme Court of this State, sitting at Nashville, has rendered a decision in a case involving the payment of taxes on real estate mortgages. The court was of opinion that a mortgage is not taxable. It is not property, but sim ply an instrument to secure a debt and is not taxable. The decision is important, as heretofore mortgages have been frequently taxed. Dyspepsia aesmany lives miserabie, and often leads to sefdestruction. Distress after eating,sick head ache, heartburn, sour stomach, mental depres sion, etc., are cauaed by this very common and increasing disease. Hood's sarsaparinlatones the stomah creates an appetite, promotes healthy digestion, relieves sick headache, clears the mind, and cures the most obstinate cases of dys pepsia. Bead the fonlowing: "IJ have been troubled with dyspepsia. I had butitle appetite,and what I did eat distressed me,or did me little good. In an hour after eating I would experience a faintness or tired, an-~gone feeling, s though I had not eaten anything. Hood's sarsaparilla did me an Immense amount of good. It gave me anappetite, and my food relshedandsatisfied the craving I had previousiy experienced. It relieved me of that faint, tired, afl-gone feelng. I have felt so much better since I took Hood's sarsaparinla, that I am happy to recommend it." G. A. PAoE, watertown, Mass. N.B~ Be sure to get oniy Hood's Sarsaparilia Soldbyaldrugglsts.

To remove paint from clothing sat urate with spirits of turpentine and let it remain several hours, then rub the spots well, and the paint will usually come off. Sometimes the ap plication must be repeated. Stoves that are not in use should be rubbed with kerosene oil to keep them from rusting. Add vinegar and sugar to stove polish and it will shine much easier. Polish glass with whiting. To give a nice gloss to ironed clothes add a teaspoonful of kerosene to each quart of starch. All odor evaporates when drying. BREAKFAST OMErzr.--Four eggs beaten veiy light with one tablespoon ful of flour; add one cupful of iilik. Have a cold spider well buttered and turn the mixture into it, set it on the stove where it will have an even, steady heat, but not burn, and let it cook until the egg sets; then scatter seasoning of salt, pepper, a little but ter, and, if liked, a little chopped parsley. Slip the knife round the edges and turn one half of the omelet on to the other half; put on a hot plate, and serve directly. GEmax POTATO SALAD.-Boir the potatoes with the skins on. When cool, pare and slice them very thin, adding a chopped onion. Season them with salt, pepper, and butter to taste. Before serving, beat some meat drippings in a spider, pour vin egar over it and beat well, then pour this over the potatoes. POTATO FarrTmns.-Boil and peel a dozen small potatoes, or less, if larger ones are used, then mash them well, and add four eggs well beaten, a little milk--or cream if you have it-a lit tle chopped parsley, salt, and pepper, and mix all together. Take a little of the paste on a spoon, and drop as you would cakes in boiling lard. They are delicious. CoxrosrrioN CARE.-Five cupfuls of flour, two cupfuls of butter, three cupfuls of sugar, one cupful of milk, five eggs, one teaspoonful of soda, two teaspoonfuls of cream tartar, fruit if you wish, and flavor with the spices-cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves -to suit the taste. WrTE POUND CAxE,-One pound of sugar, one pound of flour, .one half pound of butter, whites of sixteen eggs beaten stiff, one teaspoonful of baking powder well sifted with the flour. Set in a rather cool oven and increase the heat gradually. Gnas FmsT.-The best husbands I ever met came out of a family where the mother, most heroic anc] self-de nying woman, laid down the absolute law, "Girls first." Not in any author ity, but first to be thought of as to protection and tenderness. Conse quently, the chivalrous care which these lads were taught to show to their own sisters naturally extended itself to all women. They grew up true gentlemen-gentlemen, gener ous, unexacting, courteous of speech and kind of heart. In them was the protecting strength of manhood, which scorns to use its strength ex cept for protection; the proud hones ty of manhood, which infinitely pre fers being lovingly and openly resist finger," as mean men are twisted, and mean women will always be found ready to do it, but which, I think, all honest men and brave women would not merely dislike but utterly despise. -Author of "John Halifax."
