THE REGISTER NOW AN AFTERNOON PAPER. The announcement made Friday that the Columbia Register would no j longer make its appearance as a morning paper was something of a surprise to the patrons and readers of that iournal.

Despite lae very unfavorable weath jr the Tea-hers* Institute now in session is proving quite a success. While :he at fen dance is not as large as would be expec'ed if the weather were such is to pcriLit the county teachers to lttend, yet there are always enough present to lend interest to the work, and not enough to prevent the most imid teacher from expressing freely ber views of the subject under discussion. i Wliiic these institutes are designed primarily for teachers, all are invited io attend; and no person concerned in [he subject of education could listen to the lcctmes of either Saper endentf Wallace or Superintendent Hand with-1 Dut being vitally interested. Fairfield is fortunate in having assigned to her two of the best lecturers on the commissioned board for the summer. On Monday afternoon ihc institute svas opened with divine services by U/v T>/\tt T n P?*A? f flfifli* titHIM") fhp i/ui; tf l/? vwulj ullvi h ?mv national hymn was sung. Air. Wallace next delivered the first )f a series of lectures on Arithmetic. Lie dealt largely with the pupil's first gear's work in numbers. lie advocated teaching: the four fundamental principles of arithmetic together, and i mastery of all the operations of oach ligit before proceeding to the next aigher. * " 1 f V If- TTam/1 Alter a tinei uiscussion, our. nuuu introduced his series of lectnrea on English. He dealt largely with literature in the common schools, and reading. He is not in favor of giving ,he children literature "written down :o children," but advocates giving ;bcm standa: d classical literature? snch as they can understand. He took is a text for illustration of his method, Evanselioe. He advocates a careful malysis of ?_;.c expression and figures if flio r>r%-im 50 flint fhft nnnils. bv mderstanding it, will see its full aeauty. lie is not in favor of paraphrasing poetry as an exercise in composition. On Tuesday Mr. Wallace continaed his former lecture on arithmetic. He advocates having: a considerable amount of 01 ul woik in the pupil's second year in arithmetic so as to give them facility in the use of numbers. He also favors having pupils to translate examples from the abstract to the concrete form. His lecture dealt mostly with wore in fractions. Mr. Hand then continued bis lecture of the preceding day. He advocates yood reading as a most important accomplishment. We should have pupils to practice reading aloud as practice is the only thing that will secure it. In studying literature the pupil's imagination is to be cultivated. After a short recess Mr. Wallace lectured ou spelling and Mr. Hand on Language Lessons. On Wednesday the work of the day was introduced with a lecture on the teaching of fraciions by Mr. Wallace. After this Mr. Hand took as his theme fr.t a lecture "History" lie advcca-? s giving small children bitsyraphv and leaving history to a later du m when tl cir reasons are dev? lopul :no'i;h to understand causes and etl-cts. T< a-Ling history is not the teach:ng of a continuation of facts but i-11:, it '''lug with the great social hmI political causes which have made our c-?autry what it is; the teaching of motive anc causes of great and noble deeds is a better way to instil.patriotism into our children than the passiDg of a State law requiring that the American flag be floated over every school house. In a lew closing temarks Mr. Wallace expressed his approval of what Mr. liana nau saiu. auu iu ? >y?y peculiar to himself, he mosttouchingly impressed the tcacber8 with their buty of using history civics, and personal example a3 means for cultivating in ths pupils patriotism and a love for country. f.e. n. On Thiiriday Mr. Hand began the work of the institute with a lecture on Phonics and Phonetics. Mr. Uandha3 a wocuermi iacuuy 01 paiuug a deal of thought in a very few minutes' lecture, and in the lime allotted to biui he vrent to a considerable extent into the particular; of the subject, lie explained methods of different teachers, and the advantages and difficulties of these methods. a r?InMnrfil An xi.IlUi LiiiS *u 4 tt anaw iwiu* advanced Arithmetic and Algebra, lie insisted strongly in exactness in the statement of problems and clearness in the demonstration and explanation of thoLti. i^ejillustrated his points with severe; examples. After this Mr. Hand lectured on "School Management." lie began by giving the teacher'^ proper mode oi procedure in seeKinga simauon. a-uui this he spoke of the teacher's first day's experience . :i tbc school room and the importance of the first impression he makes npon the pupils. After a few minute*' lecture on school management i p.'opsr he c^sed with a beautifnl de scription of the teac&crs itiiiacn<J3 ot thi comrunuilv in which ho work' Here is r^cm for the best work tfca' within him lies. On Friday Frof. Snyder introduced I the work of the day with a lecture 01 | English Grammar. ; After this Mr. Wallace spoke or Geography. Geography should b; taught to a child at a very early dat< by teaching him to observe things o: interest aronnd him. It should bi taught by observation, diagrams, etc. at least three years before a book i taken up. After a brief discussion and a fev remarks cu the "whys" in the locatioj of cities by Mr. Hand he procscdet to his lecture on political cconomv. The children shou'd be familiar with the subject but no text book should be used. Political economy is- x hi. o,.;j e j goes siue uy siue >vuu maiuiy auu ? ? great branch of it. He spoke of the important part that wealth plays in the history of every country and lience the importance of those questions concerning it. Th? rest of his time was used in instructing the teachers by example, in the proper mctho 1 of teaching political economy. mi - l - -a *..1 ?Lie l&Sl IgClUi'C Ui tuc sessi?n was by Prof. Snyder. "Tiie use of English Literature in the framing of the Teachers." When he began his lecture it wa3 evident to all in the house that he was on the subject nearest his heart. Ho said that there is something pathetic in the fact that tbe thinking people of to-day are putting &uch a I value 011 books that the profession of teaching is par excellence the profession f that 1 es closest to books. He took ! "Paradise Lo?t'' '-In Memoriam," and i several other noems and discussed the value ef studying them from a historical point of view. In closiDg" this point, he illustrated it by quoting the following as a definition of English 1 Literature. 'The soul of the race at its best, speaking through i:s best men." The whole of his lecture dealt with the moral tone and purity of English Literature, and he closed by exhorting the teacher to escape the temptations and allurements of the vulgar world by letting in the light of our best literature. v. e. h. On-Friday night the work of the Fairfield Teachers' Institute was brought to a clo?;e with a lecture on "The Meaning of a School House^la^-Prnf. Svnrter. of Wofford College. He divided his subject into four heads, as follows: First, the school house as a physical gymnasium; second, as an intellectual and moral gymnasium; third, as a cenlre for the distribution of knowledge; and fourth, as a training gchoool for our citizens. Although Prof. SDyder is a very youug man, he has already gained a place a3 one of the leading English scholarg of the State, and on the occasion of both hir morning and evening lectures he fully sustained his reputation. lie arranged his points so as to work up to a climax of thought, and he ended with a grand eulogy on the country schools as sustainers of American democracy. Ashe was taking bis seat Mies Charlotte Allston yielded to the entreaties of her friends and sang a sola, accompanied by Mrs. C. S. Dwight on the phuo.

About two years ago a traveling salesman kindly gave me a small bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhaa Remedy. Much to my surprise and delight its effects were immediate. Whenever I felt symptoms of the disease I would fortify myself against the attack with a few doses of this valuable remedy. The result has been very satisfactory and almost complete relief from the affliction." For sale by McMaster Co., Druggist?. * ROAD DUTY AND CHAIN GANG. Mr. Editor: I would respectfully call the attention of the proper authorities to the unfairness in the use of the chain gang. It i3 said that the road from the eight-mile post on the Ashford Ferry road to Winnsboro has been worked like a railroad Every foot of this road has been worked. Not the bad places only, but all. Now is this fair to the other road workers aud x ? rvf T?Qirff olrl ^ taxpayers 1:1 IUC uaiauw v/i By this splendid working of this eight mile?, the hand3 on the several sections will have only a nominal doty to perform for probably five or six years, while hands in the remainder of the I i? /!-. ? ~ _ MAflAMo a f 1 nocf ^ txmTI | COUUiy ^1X1 uuauy oc^liwuo <*>. n-t???y .. have to work the fall number of days to keep road even in passable order. This certainly cannot be carrying out the spirit of the use of the chaiu gang. I must think it was created f?r the benefit of all those who have to share equally in its support. Would it not be better to let each township board inform the County Superintendent of the very bad places in its township and have these worked, so as to relieve the road hands in every part of Fairfield equally? The road hands in sections where no assistance is given by the chain gan? are complaining and justly of this injustice. One section, I hear, has refused to work. Then again is it fair to the farm-rs? My hands, for instance, ni'f work the full number of ciajs Hands on Air. Turner's place may not have tj work more than one-half clay to keep the road in order. I lose. Mr. Turner gains.
