Editor JS'cica and Herald: In the columns of The News and Herald several articles have appeared which, while not directly personal, are but too well calculated to reflect oil the institution of Mt.

Permft one who is proud to-havehad years ago the honor "to sit at his feet and learn of him" to say jast here s. few words in Sis behalf It has been the privilege of the writer of these lines to attend an institution I whose professors were jostly noted for their scholarship and learning, b.nt not yet has he come in contact with so *;r>o q cMml<?! -?? Prnfpssnr Witherow and never with one especially so fully fitted aud qualified for instructing others. Those who have gone forth from our midst to higher institutions have, in nearly every case, fully attested to the merit of their early training. Let the "educational discontents" inquire, if they will, as to the records made by the students who received their early instruction at the hands of Prof. Witherow. At the South Carolina College, at the Citadel, at Wofford, Erskine, and Furraau, at the female colleges of tbi3 State, and at colleges in other states, these students have, in almost all cases, reflected credit on their parents, their community, and, above all, on tho professor ?rom whom thoy received their preparation.

Tutt's Liver Pills THE FIRST STAMPING DAY. On Friday morning about 8.30 o'clock, before the bank opened, quite a crowd had gathered in front of the building waitiog to buy revenue stamps. They appeared very anxioua to give Uncle Sam some money with which lo pay his war debt. Of course, most of the stamps wanted were to ! affix to checks, me Kina useu ior | this purpose at present are the ordi; nary postage stamps, with the letters "I. R." printed on them by the Internal Revenue Department. The documentary and proprietery stamps are about the siza of the Columbian etainp with a warship on them, which we presume represents the Maine. Mr. Samuel Ca!hcart, Jr., was the first man at tie bank on Friday morning, and to stamp and cancel it. A rsporter on Friday called at several stores and asked for a bottle of cologne. The clerks, almost without exception, passed it over the counter, not suspecting that they were violating the law of the United States, and making themselves liable to pay a fine of not more than five hundred dollars, or be imprisoned not more than six months, or both, r?t the discretion of the court. Nearly every store in the ceunty hr.s on hand a small slock of perfumery, cosmetics and other simi - " *? 'V . 1 lar articles, ar.ct, unaer mc iaw, iuey will have to pay on each, bottle, or other inciosure, with its contents, when the retail value or price does not exceed five cents, one-eighth of one per cent; when the retail price or value does not exceed ten cents, twoeighths of cue per cent; when not exeeeding fifteen cents, three-eighths of one cent; when it does 'exceed fifteen cents and not twenty-five cents, fire- ' eighths of one cent; and for each additional twenty-five cents of retail price or vakeor fractional part thereof in excess cf twenty-five cent*, fiveeighths of one cent. The stamps are in denominations ot one-eighth of a cent up to fifty eents. The tax will doubtless catch a great many people. Many will violate the, law without any intentian of doing so; for instance, if a farmer in the country gives an order to his merchant in town to pay ene of his farm laborers ? _ . 3 _ .,A any sum 01 money, sucn ora?rs are required to be stumped. In this case, both the man who, makes the order, and the merchant paying it, without its being properly stamped, are-liable to indictment in Uncle Sam's court. Nearly every group of men seen on the streets now are discussing the new law, and in a week or two most people will have become pretty familiar with it. CASTORIA.

I would advise these gentlemen to ran a separate line instead of joining- at Mr. Johnstone's, a9 the additional cost would be very little, and it would be much more satisfactory, lor where more than fire or six 'phones are on the line it will cause some trouble and confasion about ringing. I am satisfied that there will be no objection to them using our posts. I don't think it will be neces-. sary for thera to have a separate 'phone at Winnsboro, as they can have a call bell for ringing and use onr 'phone for talkiog.

No graver or more important matter can come before a people as parents and citizens than the selection of teachers for their children. There is no calling in life's varied work involving higher responsibilities and lew so high, as that? of the school-master. He has too frequently been judged in the aggregate by the unfortunate eccentricities of individuals. This vocation, because often used only as a -A An tA fiATYtO bl^ppllip fclUUCj VI TV Ck ) "OlUl/l Vti j fcv wvmuw other more lucrative and less laborious profe?3ion, has snflered in reputation and dignity. The day is past when the teacher's position is to be sought only as a convenient means to an end, or as a last resort for those who have failed in other pursuits. It is recognized that he must be possessed of special qualifications, be fitted for his peculiar work by educatiob, by zeal, by love for it and a conscientious desire to impart all that he has received in mind, heart and body to his pupils for their upbuilding in knowledge and character. The command of God to Israel .wa3 to teach his statutes and ordinances unto their children and children's children, in order that tbev might learn and do them and be blessed. The orator (Rev. Mr. Smitb), of the commencement celebration, sounded a clear and true note, when he said that education was neither sound nor true, when it concerned itself about the physical and intellec ?1 tnal and neglected tne spiritual. mau is a trinity, of body, mind and spirit, and education should take cognizancc of all and cultivate and develop all the faculties to attain its true end. The teacher then should be one who recognizes, in himself, this tripart nature and gives due consideration to every part?who holds all his powers of mind, body and spirit as gifts from his creator to be employed for his glory and for the disseminating that knowledge of him and his commands, as are essential to the well being and progress of his pupils. Parents are charged with this ?are of their offspring, and when they depute this care to aiother, in consequence ot the exigences of life, they are bound to see, that they select one who fears God and honors his will. Tne percentage is one in which skepticism and irreligion are organized forces attacking the vitals of social and business life; the rationalism of German schools and the infidelity and abandon ? - - - r ? i of the JParisian in pursuit 01 pieubure are breaking down the sober reverence and regard of oar people for customs and beliefs held sacred for generations . by our forefathers. We need to use every moans at our command to inculcate and keep alive faith in God and obedience to His ordinances. For Christian and Godfo&ring citizens to disregard this qualification of the spiritual man, in selecting teachers, who are to mould the characters and educate the minds of their children, would be in the highest degree immoral. The teacher's influence is not confined to the class room or the lesson under recitation, but is far-reaching and operative, even without his will or intention. And such is the tendency of our unregenerate nature?that we more readily appro priate the oad than tbe good. Let us then seek for teachers whose lives are lives of faith and prayer, that their influence may be fcr good and for the deepening and perpetuating lessons learned of picas mothers, thus sending forth reverent, God-fearing men and women, "wbo in tLeir turn shall teach otbere also,'** and thus transmit to generations yet unborn the priceless heritage of Christian principle, moral eonduct, which have been bequeathed unto U3.
