This academy is now in charge of a stock company with ample means, and the prospects of the institution are brighter than ever. Those interested in its welfare are to be congratulated upon procuring the services of Mr. BroWrt, who is a pleasant gentleman, a fine scholar, and an experienced and successful teacher. Telegraph Rates.?The Southern Telegraph Company have again reduced their rates. They now send night messages of f.neen words for fifteen cents to points South?in Georgia, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri. To points North, half the day rate for fifteen words, and one cent for each additional word. To New York, j Pennsylvania, etc., night messages arc now rated at twenty-five cents for fifteen words or less. Night messages are received at\auy time during the day, to be sent ofter six o'clock, p. m. A Misapprehension.?We understand that it has been stated that the Town Council purpose to levy a special r _ ? . _ /> K..~ Ut tax upon every uaie 01 cuuuu uruugui here for sale or ghipment. This is altogether a mistake. The Town Council has recently appointed a cott.onw gher, but we understand that there will be no increase in the price heretofore charged for weighing cotton. Indeed, it will probably be smaller than ever before. The report is calculated to do harm, and we hope it will have no further currency. Winnsboro expects to be as good a cotton market as ever before?indeed, her merchants and cotton-buyers are always taking measures to that end. The Nominee.?The Union correspondent of the News and Courier says of Mr. Perry's nomination for Congress: We put our best foot foremost in the race Congressional and did our level best to win. but lost the prize. We have no malice, however, and have no trace of the sorehead. Content to believe that we had the best man in the field, we can abide our time. Meanwhile Mr. Perry neefl fear no lukewarmness here, bnt he may rest assurred that his own county will not sjive him a heartier support than he will find in old Union. While a writer from Spartanburg to the same excellent journal says: The nomination of Mr. Perry for Congressman in this district will not create much enthusiasm. Very few of our citizens have seen him, but they will vote for him all the same.

ITEMS FROM BEAR CREEK. 5totes about the Normal Instlfute-O r Matters of Interest. Messrs. Editors: Having just returned from Spartanburg, where I had been attending the Jsorraal Institute, and not having seen anything in your paper recently, either from that point or "Bear Eivep," I have concluded to give yon a few dots. I went np to Spartanburg some ten days since and found the Institute "booming," under the able management "of Dr. Joynes as principal, assisted by his earnest and able co-laborers composing the faculty. The Normal of 1884 has been a most decided j success. The faculty all unite, iu say- | ing that the teachers in attendance this year have been more earnest and enthusiastic, and have been more constant in attendance and devoted to the worK man ever oeiore. vv jinouc meaning to boast and excluding "ye scribe," I think Fairfield may well be proud of her delegation of teachers. Though few in number, they were able in attainments, zealous in spirit, and above all proud of and devoted to their profusion. I heartily wish there were more such in our grand old county and State, and would like to say to all my fellow pedagogues in Fairfield that, attending these Normal Institutes will go far towards making them just such teachers as those described. Certainly they cannot reach any high standard without the aid of Institutes and Associations. So if we do -not' wish to be ruled out of the higher ranks of our profession, and consequently from the higher salaried positions, we will be compelled to avail ourselves of every means?institutes, associations, educational periodicals, etc.?to advance and go upward in our profession. Before leaving the subject, I hope I may be pardoned for my presumption in offering jnst one adverse criticism, as my appreciation of all ihe Institute's many excellencies is so very high. My "criticism is this: Many,"almost all, of the professors - who lectured there seemed to think it their province to store the miuds of the teachers forming: their classes with the facts aud truths of the higher departments of their respective studies rather than with the best methods of teaching: them, especially in the lower aud primary departments. Should not a professor in a Normal Institute presume on his class's knowledge of the study under consideration, and only refer to facts as they are needed in illustration of the best method of teaching such branch? Who differs and who agrees with me? I could easily say more of the Normal?especially its social features and convivialities, and fine lectures at night from eminent educators ?but will desist lest I wean* you and your readers. The Congressional Convention last week added greatly to the interest and excitement of the otherwise quiet times. The candidates were numer ous and strong and their friends tievoted, enthusiastic and confident, but as victory could only come to one the others were doomed to disappointment. and the greatest pity of all was that our honored and promising candidate, Col. H. A. Gaillard, was among the defeated ones. He was evidently the favorite of the Convention by long odds (with possibly the exceptioi/of Col. Munro, of Union,), and one must needs have been present and familiar wifh the whole secret workings of the Convention to understand why the strongest mau should be defeated and the weakest (perhaps) nominated. Though disappointed this I time we hope to" see Col. Gaillard i elected two years hence to Congress, where we may safely expect from him a long and brilliant career. In this connection I would like to speak of the speech of Mr. C. A. Douglass, nominating Colonel Gaillard. It was by far the ablest and most eloquent made before the convention, though it be compared with the speeches of such able and trained men as Mauldin, Allen, Jbiumoert or jonnsou. jluis is not my individual opinion alone, but tlie unanimous verdict of the great numbers whom I heard commenting upon it. Judging from iiis oratorical powers and abilities otherwise, I predict for him a useful and brilliant career in the Legislature, and shall at least expect him"to tread the honorable footsteps of the noble man whom he so felicitously nominated at the Spartanburg convention. Everything is very dull down here now. The farmers are still engaged in their crops. They are having good seasons now, and as the crops are backward, most of the farmers are working them. Politics are looking up a little,, aud candidates may look to be pinned down pretty close by the "onterrified" on any issues brought forward. Thesentiment down here is ."no straddling", and a candidate has to come nnt. on some'side. We arc still thirst ing for the repeal of the Lien Law, and those wishing our support for the Legislature my govern themselves accordingly. The clnb extends a hearty invitation to all candidates on campaign day, and hopes to be able to "trot 'em out" a big crowd and a good dinner. scriptum. ' Bear Creek, August 11,18S4. OPENING THE COUNTY CANVASS. The Meeting at Jackson's Creek?A Large Gathering?Speeches by Several Candidates. . * Messrs. Editors: In obedience to instructions received from the County Executive Committee, the Jackson's Creek Democratic Club assembled at Major Robertson's School Honse on the loth inst. for the purpose of opening the campaign of 1SS4. Long before the hour of commencement the roads leading from the surrounding parts of the county were thronged with vehicles and horses loaded with Demo crats, Desiues mose wno camu iu uu the "gravel train." The president, MP. R. E; Ellison, promptly at the supposed end of the gathering, called the Club and its friends, including the candidates, into the school house. The meeting wascalled to order, when the president of the Club introduced to the audience Mr. C. A. Douglass, our talented and cultured young countryman, and a lawyer of no ordinary' ability, practising his profession in Winnsboro, to shoot the first gun for the grand and never to be forgotten Democracy of Fairfield county, and well and ably did the young aspirant.acquit himself. He touched every issue with care, and proved to the audience that if entrusted with the grave responsibilities of a egislator it would be done in the interest of the commonwealth of South Carolina, not forgetting the interest of his own county. He was followed by the eloquent young Rutland, who acquitted himself in a manner that justified the reputation that preceded him. Then comes the practical Hoffman, followed by Mr. Wallace, one of Broad River's favored sons. Then Feastervilic shows her colors, by the introduction of Mr. J. Feaster Lyies, an honored name in his native county. Last on the Representative list is the name of Titos. S. Brice. He comes to us as a well known friend, having served us heretofore in the Legislature, we do not think an introduction to the geutfeman necessary. We would add that twe regret that time will not permit us to quote some of the logical points given to us by the above-named talented as pirantsfor legislative honors. orfnn +/<v a!on/1 flio TJOvf \\ C iliUSl UdrOlVU i>V/ VbUWlOj C*(iU biiVy UVAV in order is Captain McMeeUin, in an essay-on.education. He handled his subject well, and it must be conceded that it was worthy of the gentleman who rendered it. Dr. Boyd, our present School Commissioner, was next called upon, and his past efficiency as an officer of our pnblic schools is sufficient proof that he gave us some good talk. He was followed by Mr. Johnston, who sought the suffrage of the people, but would not detain the audience by a speech, as the hour was late. This brings us down to the wouJd-be guardians of our county affairs, and first on the list is our Hibernian friend, Democrat and rebel, J. G. Heron, who is always full of good humor and wit. He claims, and justly so, that good roads are a sure evidence of a prospernnmilw /""oTifQirv Tlirmaiit- Koirior \J UO wuuti ? VV?J^/Vi*AU JUUUI.MUWJ ^ called upon, gave us some" idea of the working of the present Board of County Commissioners, with a reply to "X Roads." ill*. Richmond entertained us for a short time in a manner highly crcditable to hiuiself and the Board of Commissioners, of which he is a member, and assured us pf his continued fidelity if honored by a reelection. Mr. Robertson comes next with the modest request that the county allow for once a commissioner 011 the other side of the railroad. The true and tried Harvey, being at his own club, declined to speak. Our worthy candidates, Messrs. 1 Kerr, Neil, and Jennings, made an agreement not to address the meeting. But we were frightened by the announcement that a^ candidate for coroner was on the ground, aud worse so when Mr. Smith announced that he was the gentleman, and would take pleasure in sitting on our dead bodies in an easy way, and then give them a hasty interment. "VVq cannot close this interesting meeting witnoup noticing tne presence of the larger part of the sheriff's office. He was out in his usual pleasant role, and is ever ready to help a friend or catch an enemy." Our efficient Judge of Probate lent us his presence, and was taking his chances very quietly. The candidates one and all acquitted themselves in a creditable manner. We feel prond of .the honor conferred npon a?, and hope that all left with the conviction that the banners raised on Jackson's Creek and all other sections of our county and State will be hailed as the banners of victory, truth, justice, honesty and good will to all ruen. YV. J. Keller, Secretarv. ? ? "THE S WITZERLAMJ OF AMERICA." | What Some Travelers Satv at the Springs I and in the Mountains of North Carolina. Messrs. Editors: I will endeavor to give your readers an account of our i trip through the mountain region of Western North Carolina, and describe some of the* beautiful scenery, etc. Our party, consisting of Mrs. G. C. Bacot and daughter, Miss M. C. Aiken, Miss L. Skinner and your humble servant, left "Winnsboro 011 the 1st inst., stopping two days at Sparkling Catawba Springs, near Hickory, N. C., meeting quite a number of South Carolinians there. Being anxious to" view the lovely mountain scenery, we hasfViTe '/laHrfliffnl ennf TTnV Lyil^U. LV/ lilAO. v*y. W|/Vfc wood White Sulphur Springs, justly, styled the "Switzerland of America." The mountain scenery all along the Western North Carolina Railroad is perfectly grand, almost beyond description, nnsnrpassed by any other, particularly at and near Hound Knob, where three or four parallel tracks can be seen at one time as the cars wind their way up the mountains. Just west of Round Knob, we pass through four or five tunnels, one of them being nearly two thonsand feet in length. The hotel at;Round Knob, where we breakfasted, is a beautiful structure, built after the latest style, with all the modern conveniences. . The meals are very good. Just back of the hotel is an artificial lake, containing a fountain which thows a jet of water at an attitude of two hundred and sixty-eight feer^which is said to be six feet higher than any jet of water in the world. All along , the line we see nothing but continuous chains of lovely mountains on either side of the railroad until we finally reach Wavnesville, a pretty little village- nestled in the mountains. At Waynesville depot we take, the omnibus for the White Snlphur Springs, about a half mile distant. Here we are literally surrounded by the Great Balsam and other ranges of mountains, whose peaks tower five and six thonsand feet above sea level, presenting the most beautiful views in all directions as far as the eye can reach. Truly, fair Nature has made an extra effort to beautify this lovely spot, which, I think, cannot be surpassed in grandeur and sublimity' anywhere on this continent east of the jlcockv Mountains. mis piace .is uv? hundred feet higher than Asheville, with an average temperature' ranging between fifty-five and ."sixty degrees (and sometimes considerably lower) during the warmest weather. Overcoats arc in great demand and feel exceedingly comfortable during the cool nights and mornings. Numbers of people are arriving daily, and (here is a "big rush" here this month. The young ladies outnumber the young gentlemen about three to one, and, as a consequence, young men are at a high premium. Can you not send us a detachment of the "G. L. I." to help us insure the ladies a pleasant time? Brass buttons, you know, seem to have a large amount of magnetism about them. ' We have about two hundred souls here now, and the number is increas in-g- daily. A large number of North Carolinians are here, including quite a number from South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Georgia and a few from the North. It is a perfectly beautiful sight to behold the snow-white clouds as they occasionally descend far below the mountain peaks, seeming as though they would kiss the earth beneath and j almost completely eveloping them., A few days a party of ladies and j gentlemen, upon horseback, ascended to' the summit of "Lickstone Mountain," whose peak* towers about six thousand feet above the sea, for the purpose of viewing the grand scenery. They report as being able to see into several States; including Georgia; and that they encountered no bears nor wolves daring the trip. "Wid." Hertford, the celebrated bear hunter and mountain guide, was with the party. "Wid." thinks he has killed about three hundred bears, or more, during his life, and says he is ready at time for a bear or wolf hunt in the mountains with his old "trusty" rifle and his bear dogs. He tells us he has had several hand-to-hand conflicts with bears, and has risked His life many times while hunting. These mountain rides are sometimes dangerous, particularly while descending, as the horses arc apt to slip and fall. They are extremely hard on horses as well as fatiguing to ine naers. Too ranch cannot.be s$jd in praise, of tbis charming pjace, completely environed by beautiful mountaius, with its exhilarating and bracing mountian air, its scenery of uiisurpassing loveliness, and its excellent white sulphur water, possessing such unusual curativa properties. Mr. J. C. S. Timberlake, a Georgian, is the polite, energetic proprietor of the hotel. Sis taVes are bountifully supplied with everything nice. His gentlemanliness, accommodation and general attention, to the wants of his guests, are enough to attract large numbers of people to this lovely spot, very appropriately- termed the "Switzerland of America," not to mention the attractiveness of the place. "While at Wavnesville, 1 met Dr. J. D. Palmer, formerly a citizen of j Fairfield, who now resides in this beau-' tiful land. He is hale and hearty, and : he desires, particularly, to be remem- j bere'd to all his friends in Winnsboro. I j. n. s. 1 "Waynesviile, N. C., Aug. 11,188i. ?* L ' A CJLltD. j . Mdssrs.
