Aikeu, of Charlesp| ton, died very saddenly on Saturday B|||||f evening, Xhe 5th inst., of heart disease. mf He had been in his nsual health up to BP*?' a very short time before his death, and f at was" a very great shock.

He was also for vears a director of the Planters' and Mechanics' Bank, of Charleston. Col. Aiken was well known in Fairfield, and lie had here many warm friends, who will join with his kindred in mourning his death.

A Good Attendance of ithe Teachers of Fairfield-Synopsis of the Exercises." The Fairfield County Teachers' Institnte met on Tuesday, the 8th inst. The countV school commissioner, aided by his assistants, Messrs. McDonald and Douglass, have done all in their power to make the Institute a success. How they succeeded was proven by fViA TM?Acor>AA fVirt f\*r*m nil 1,111/ ^IV/O^ilVV^ \JX Li-iO O UUlil U11 ! sections of the county. In order to j show the high standard of the Institute, we will mention that it is presided over by that eminent scholar and lecturer Dr. Joynes, professor in the South Carolina College. The Professor is surrounded by some of the best talent that the county and State, afford, and of which we will .speak more generally in our full report. The Institute was formally opened by Dr. Jno. Boyd. Prayer was offered by the Rev. D. E. Jordan. After the introductox-y remarks by the Principal, and a response by Dr. Boyd, the orgrnization was completed by appointing Mr. W. J. Keller secretary, and the following-named teachers as the business committee: Mr. T. E. Beil, Rev. R. R. Vann and Miss Emily Obear. The following is a synopsis of the exercises: . 10.30 A. M.?Arithmetic?Mr. Turnipseed. 11.S0 A. M.?Classification and Gradation?Mr. "Wardlaw. 12.30 P. M.?Reports of Committees and Discussion. * 3.00 P. M.?Elementary Reading? Mr. Wardlaw. A.00 P. M.?Higher Reading?Prof. Joynes. i o.OO P. M.?Special Topics and Discussion. The addresses in the Court House on Tuesday evening-, came fully up to the public expectation. Before the hour of nine o'clock the Court House was crowded and shortly afterwards the evening's exercises were begun. Dr. Boyd, the school cotnmissionerr introduced the Hon. H. A. Gaillard. Mr. Gaillard had very kindly consented to deliver the address of welcome, and his remarks on Tuesday evening could not have been better said. He spoke of the dangers to our civilization and the obstacles to our material growth aud development. To remove them, he said, and to help onward the marcn 01 civilization we must ious to the schoolmasters of the country. Their force and power in oar community, cQunty and State is appreciated and understood, and hencc we cordially welcome them to "Winnsboro. C. A. Douglass, Esq., of the Board of Examiners, then introduced to the audience the lecturer of the evening-, Prof. John H. Miller, of Erskine College. Mr. Miller is the very talented yonng r\-P in tTvof lncfl MAVIUOOVi VA iUdtVUViiiWMVO All vuw>v *mvw* | tution, and his reputation here as a speaker and a young man of ability justified high expectations, and his address disappointed no one. Prof. Miller saw proper in the opening of his lecture to speak for awhile upon the force and power of general education upon a people, and later in his j address he discussed the subject of astronomy. Upon the former branch of his lecture he said much that was fruitful in thonght and eloquent in delivery- "All things go to educate men," he said. "The air we breathe', the food we eat, the soil we till, help to make us civilized or barbarous. There are a thousand factors which must be used to attain the true ends of human existence. To utilize the most potent of these is that for which we live. The spirit of bold inquiry and fearless investigation in science give to Germany to-day the leadership iu advanced thought, while the present popular type of English civilization is a matter of praise for the race, but to America belongs that happy- combination of civilization and scholarship which is the glory of any government and the pride of any people. It there be a more than human feature in this progressive life of the human race, it is to see how its chains of misrule and serfdom in every form are ceasing to be forged. Their clanking must die where they are born who spring from Saxon blood. * * * Tender hands. - - . Ji snoulti always nurture tne pure ana powerful principles of man's nature. Men ave but principles, their lives the reflection of them. This careful evolution of what is dead in man has left deathless impressions on every age. Its results flash and flame through ali the dark days of man's long march to this bright ere; and soften the future with the hope that men will be born equal to any crisis. It is a popular error that the times make men, men make the times. When plans are announced and events recorded, which roll the world forward in civilization, some ?- - -x... l -1 xl r master iiauu uuius me reins, sui?e uuxu brain conceives.. "Whatever comes to us these comes through our own strength. * ? * The law of growth is the law of life and this superhuman progress iu human affairs is the general result ol educated manhood." The speaker argued with eloquence and power, the beneficent ends to be hoped for from a genci*ai diffusion of knowledge and the education of the masses. He spoke in glowing words of the enfranchisement of woman as the grandest triumph of education. Many other and thoughtful things were said, but a limited snace forbids further publication. Prof. Miller's handling of the general subject of astronomy "was excel J lent, and it is sufficient to say that he i held the close and undivided attention i of the audience until the end. In his ! lecture he did credit to himself and i honor to Erskine College. The exercises on "Wednesday conj sisted of lectures on arithmetic by ' Mr. Wardlaw: elementary lansruajre lessens, by Mr. Wardlaw; special topics and discussion; lecture on the study of languages, by Mr. Turnipseed; lecture on English composition, | by Mr. Keller. As previously announced Professor Joynes lectured-in the Court House on "Wednesday evening last. The evening was favorable and the audience large. Professor Joynes wa? introduced by J. E. McDonald, Esq., and he lectured for over an hour, and he said very much that was entertaining and in structive. He makes little or no effort at oratory, but is a plain and pleasing speaker, and certainly a complete master of the language he so happily eulogizes. The subject of the lecture by Prof. Joynes was the English language, iu teaching which the speaker said he wonld avoid the temptation of a popular audience and address himself main ly to teacners. bpeaiung irom oriei notes, Prof. Joynes claimed for the English language the chief importance among all the studies of the school, both in its relation to all other studies and its lifelong uses. He spoke of its profound influence as the mother tongne, in the unconscious education t of the individual, the nation, the race, and.the bond of brotherhood among men. Apart from its relations to ourselves, it is pre-eminent among languages in its historical and actual im ponance, ana in us powers as a iau-1 gnage. More characteristic the speaker I traced to its historial origin, blending the German, the French, the Latin and the Greek, the most perfect types of modern and ancient languages. He ihowed the richness, variety and range of its vocabulary and diction, and dwelt upon that assimulating power by which it continues to take into itself the elements of other language, and to make them its own by the power of attracting, aud controlling genius, regarding this as a peculiar* pledge of the growth and power of the language. He spoke briefly of the simplicity and clearness of its grammatical forms, and of the closeness of its logical structure?claiming, in the end, that English was the most perfect and powerful instrument of thought and expression that had ever been at the command of man. He concluded with a rapid sketch of the growth, extension and a prophecy of its glorious work and destiny in future ages. On Thursday morning the regular exercises of the Institute were resumed at Mount Ziou College. The morning session was opened with prayer by the Rev. C. GL Bradford.

Mr. Davis received a very 7,arm and feeling welcome at the hands of the audience. He selected for his subject, "The Use and Abuse of Methods," and in an able address of forty-five minutes he covered his entire field and throughout held the undivided attention of the audience. The speaker told of the wonderiui triumphs and achievements of our century in the mechanical, scientific and literary world, and demonstrated the truth that they were all the results of method. The same grand and substantial results,-he said, would follow in the educational world if teachers are wise enough to discriminate and to select the good from the bad methods, the safe from the dangerous. Prof. Davis never fails to entertain and interest an audience in Winnsboro, and on this occasion he was more than usually successful. The following"is the programme of Friday: y.ou A.
