Schularsliips of tho value of <?200 each, unnuallv. irood for two vearf, at the State Normal CV.lIoi'C, Nashville, Tonn. The Scholarships are attainable on the following conditions:? 1.

The Scholarships are open to tho State. W. C. liEXKT. Sf" Newspapers friendly to education fire requested to call attention to tiie above. The Court. Court met at half-past eleven o'clock. His Honor Judge Prcsslv on the Bench. Clerk Zeiglcr bad called the roll of grand jurors who were in their seats. The Solicitor swore some witnesses to go before the grand jury. The Judge then said: Gentlemen of (he Grand Jury: It is not my practice to give formal instructions to*he grand jury, after they have served two terms. I take it for granted that the Judges at the preceding terms have given you all the instructions that you need. I presume you have at the two previous terms examined the public offices. If you have done this, and done it well, I will not now charge you with that duty unless there is some special reason for so doing. Twice a year is sufficiently often to examine the public offices. A duty well done onco is better than the slight performance of a duty three times. The nature of the charges contained in the bills to be handed to you, you understand as well now, as if 1 was to consume an hour in explaining them. You will retire to your room and prepare some work for the Court as soon as possible. Mr. Clerk?call the roll of petit jurors. The following are tho jurors: C. S. "White, W. A. Ilarrolson, W. P.

On the civil calendars there is a considerable amount of business. ' Tlio entiro business ol the civil Court will be disposed of before adjournment. Among tho visiting gentlemen of the legal profession we observed around the Bar: Capt. J. N. Cochran, Col. J. II. Riee, Capt. F. W. II. Nance, David Magill, Esq., and Col. M. O. Tolman. Mr. L. 1>. Connor of Cokcsbury is assisting Clerk Zeigler in the discharge of duties pertaining to the Court. Clerk Zeiqlku has been prompt and correct in tho discharge of all his duties pertaining to tho Court. Sheriff DuPre has been efficient and courteous. Better order was nover preserved in a Court Room. Judge Pressly's Way of Doing Business. Judge Pressly's charge to (he grnnd jury on opening the Court last Monday, was so different from the ordinary charge - 41.^4. Of on SUCH occasions, mui, no Jiinic ?... tention of the reader to our report of it which may bo found in another part of the Ptcsk and Banner. It seems that tho Judge entirely omitted to remind us that Abbeville is tho Athens of South Carolina. While he neglected to make a few original remarks about our celebrated Waddell school, ho also forgot to mention the names ol our distinguished dead. In passing all these subjects ' which have ever heretofore been a theme for highfaluting remarks lie aliko ignored the glorious victory of '7(5 as well as the former political oppression from which we had suffered for eight long weary years. We should like to know what the country is coming to, when a Judge sitting on tho Bench of our high Courts neglects to entertain tho crowded Court room with such things as are pleasing to tho ear. He didn't even refer to our promising young men, who aro rising to till the places and to surpass the distinction of those who have "gone before." Time will show whether we aro to put up with this old fogy way that Judge Pressly has of sim ply doing his duty without flattering us at alL Mrs. W. A. Temple ton and Miss Mat Cater arc on a Visit to Mr. Thomas Cater of tho Fork. *. 1 - - - I* lectin? I*a1k lit 1 lie Hands of A sassins.

CIM Among the rccent contributions to our eel- a id I ucational literature is a capital address de- d j livered by \V. C. Ocnct, Ksij., of I ho Press it a i and Hmmer, before the Teachcrs' Association n- of Abbeville on the 1st of August. He treats d of the defects and advantages of the public a: id school system and suggests certain improve- o ... incuts. While we do not entirely agree with / | mm ill an nispositions, nc siaies jus poiiii.s a is strongly. In most of his Ideas we concur > most heartily. 01 u" The defecls.of the system Mr. Benet Molds n- to be Its tendency to regard results instead of method, in other words, to cram the mind in- S stead of training it, its tendency to lower edu- ?! rc cation by confining it to elementary subjects, d: rejecting the classics and the higher mathe- ci v- niaties, and to repress individuality, and fos- ai ... tcr a spirit of communism. 01 The first objection is not solely applicable n. to public schools. Many private Institutions 5j. . believe they have accomplished their end jj 10 when they have stuffed a mass of facts into j( ie the Juvenile mind. This can be remedied by ^ . I teaching the twachers. It is true that the at; common schools aim to teach only the eles. nients of knowledge,and in tills way they do \ " I to some extent militate against higher culofitnre. Yet here the apparent paradox presents n. itself, that tlie most distinguished literary l-j I men of America have come cliicily frt/m Lit I those States in which the public schools have p ? j longest existed, and the South, which before I the war depended 011 private enterprise,!.*.] ty while developing 11 highly refined people produced but few men of letters. When clcmen- -p, ftSl tary ^instruction costs nothing the aspiring of {individual has more money to spend 111 acquiring the finishing touches. The system jj 's? undoubtedly has a centralizing effect, but we 1. hope it will never induce communism. The advantages are tlie general and more T equal diffusion of knowledge, and the cheap- ^ n ncssol' imparting it. Those In the present ^ ' condition of our people we regard as incalcuJT iable advantages. When the State has pro,,r vided all Its children with the "three It's" tiie knife, spoon and fork of education, as Mr. er 10 lienct so aptly calls them, we believe that a j" vast stride has been taken. Lr In our own system Mr. i'.enet thinksa grave !n il/ifn/if <kvic'k.' iinf im'aim/IIiii/ 4/ii' t ro i Haul '? , teachers. This is true. Normal schools of 1U some kind should be Inaugurated, luit. wo do li not know when to cxnect tliein. Our J.e<!is- s' . iaturc seems to be cither very ill-informed or S!l " very careless about the whole scheme of edu- s<: cation. The admirable recommendations of tl1 of superintendent Thompson are passed by vv unlieeded. The constitutional tax ol' two "J mills is, in Mr. J'enet's opinion, loo much. j lie thinks the state should levy only a small ,!t t-1 sum as a premium on county or individual !U I f> enterprise. It should be rememhered, how- {" 1 ever, that this two mill lax Is really a county at I tax, as each county now expends all the ,.i funds raised in Its limit*, lie believes that "J private schools should be aided in some cases V by the public fund. We think investigation j will convince hi m that the mere mention of a c' lie free school these hard times kills out pay schools, and that It is vain tocxpeet parents 1 ' generally to pay tuition fees. iw j Hi; also prefers a f(-e bill to a local tax. In n, , i theory his Idea Is admirable, but we do not ' belicvctlml.il will bear the test of experl 1(5 jinciit. All parents will not pay up, and ..many will withdraw their children in the ''middle of the session, thus dlsorjranizlns; I!, .re classes nnd ruining the school. While I lie I * 1 . local tax falls with weight on the wealthy, i J'1' li; very few of this class exist, and it is better ' jit for them to jiay more than to have half the children slopping a school. So soon as the ?! VO country becomes more prosperous the fee hill , up will do well. Why not let. the Legislature provide! for both a local tax and a fee bill, so ee ns to give each town its option ? . We heartilv concur in tin, (milllim Hint, the ,u~ j .' flate Superintendent should hold for a Ionic K. ko icrni, .mil ili:ii kcIuki! commissioners should ' j he appointed, 1111(1 also thill, before bcltii; up- , * i pointed tin y should be rcjiilred to stand an ci] examination before the Htale hoard. Thor-1 ?. I otiicb and frequent. Inspection should he re-| . ' 8 quired. Thin we believe to hi; the proper .jj, lunctloiiH of tint Stale Superintendent, who ' should be well paid for his work. Lastly, Mr. . tio IJcrn'l snijKestM,. and we think foreibly, that ... sft good results woiild follow a ilmitirt'c of the . scholastic iix?' I'? lb" period helwcen eight Its arid fourteen years. This would, lie says, rcduel; the number of children from '-"Js.iKiO to III!,WK)und double the length of session each 10- year.

Andkkso.v, August u:i.?At me reciMiti :>int meeting of tho State Orange and Itate Agricultural Society at Choster, a esolution, introduced l>y Maj. Wooilrard, was adopted to memorialize the legislature to oiler a reward of ?10,000 for he invention of a process by which seed otton can be spun into yarn on the planations. It may not be generally known hat this result has been already'at least iroximately attained in this State. I roer to tlie manulhct'M'c of cotton yarns [ roni seed eolton by what is known as the J tew process, a "Clement's attachment," .combination of the "gin and card" in I me* machine.

His was an experiment 11 manufacturing simply, lint then a I e\v neighboring fanners from Oconec, of iioderate moans, pleased with his expernient, purchased from him a duplicate et of machinery, not employed in his aclory, and put it up in a common cot011 or miu-hoiiso on one of their farms. L'heir objcct was to manufacture cotton if their own production, exclusively, ,nd one of them told tlio writer last prjug that the experiment had proved ntiroly successful. They occupy adjoinng or neighboring farms, own the mahiucry jointly, and use it alternately, aeh in spinning his own cotton, employtig the same operatives. The cost of heir machinery did not probably exceed ho sum of ?2,000 put up ready for use, .ml has a daily averatye spinning eapaciy of about 450 pounds seed cotton, or 40,000 pounds pernunum. , What these farmers of Oconce have chieved may bo accomplished by others, itid if their example were generally l'olowed there is no reason why the "Slate lion Id not in a few years bo dotted over vith small co-operative manufactories or spinning cotton produced on the arms. It, is not my purpose to speak of the advantages claimed for this process of rnanifaeturiiig, in superiority of texture of ,'arns, the saving in the waste of matcriil, in machinery, in bagging .and ties, d*c.

A Little Girl Falls from tlie North Side or tlio Mountain?Suspended Over a Chasm of 1,300 Foot-The Terror of the Scene?An Overjoyed Mother. [SjhHkI Dirp'ttch to the Constitution.] Sto.vk Mountain, August2!).?Our usually quiet village was ilirilletl with an excitement yesterday evening that blanched the cheeks of women and paralyzed the arms of me.i for a while. Our citizens had witnessed the resfile of a man from a neriloiis nosiliim on tlie steep side ofStone Mountain years ago. l!ut the case lacked the elements of thrilling excitement ami miraculous preservation that characterized the escape of a little ten-years old girl yesterday evening from a death horrible in tiie extreme. Mrs. W. C. Jones, of Augusta, who 1ms been spending tlie summer with her children at the .lossy House, in Decatur, came here yesterday togo up on the .'mountain aud enjoy the view for the last time, preparatory to going bad; to her home in Augusta. The children were enthused and delighted at the trip, run 11 in? hither and thither, through groves of cedar, and mounting the heaps of boulders piled up in fantastic shape?enjoyment was at Its.highest point as each check glowed with the tlush of oleasure and the merry tones of childhood's silvery music voiced a delight that none but little cherubs like them can feel. The golden sky of Joy wasovereasi, oy a ciouo ai once somurn aim chilling. Unnoticed, little Emma, a charm1 n<r fairy creature of some ten yours of age, had wandered oil" and could not. be found. It was near the north side, with its perpendicular descent of over fifteen hundred feet, and hearts almost censed to beat, palled l>y the fear?a borrow that creepcd through the frame and ran through the marrow like a wire ot cold steel?that the bright eyes and fairy form of the fair Emma was a pulpy mass at the foot of tlie mountain. To Intensify this horror, the sun was rapidly declining in the West, and soon night would close in on the scene. Parties In the valley, on the north side of the mountain saw, however, the child way up tiie "mountain side, bleak and bare," clinging to the crevices with a tenacity truly remarkable. They shouted to her to "hold on" and relief would come. .She look in the situation and held on while she called out for assistance in ' lie hope that her mother and sister might know where she was. The news spread like lire In a broomsclge field, and a large crowd soon gathered on the mountain. The first chill of horror was succeeded by a fever of excitement to rescue tuc darling one, lest by some unguarded movement she might lose her slender hold and fall tocertain death. And now came a moment fraught with in tensest interest. The point where little Kiniun was lodged was over one hundred feet from the top, with a perpendicular fall of some fifty feet Just above her, and l,o!H) feet or more below her. She was resting on a narrow ledge of rock scarcely large enough to hold her; In fact, she maintained her position by thrusting her fingers in the crevices among the lichens growing there. Few men cared to venture down. Mr. George H. Goldsmith, fired by a noble desire to rescue the child from certain death, was let down by means of a rope. Slowly the rope is rolled ofi ; eyes watch every moment with Intense eagerness, and hoarts throb wild andj f-ist. as young Gold-i sinilh descends. A pause?a thrill?as he. leaves the rock and seems to lie in mid-air At last he spies her; lie reaches; with a convulsive grasp she seizes hold upon him, and hesignaUto ascend. Hands now work with frenzied activity, prayers ascend from aching hearts that the rope may hold ; eyes and hearts arc strained to their utmost tension until sight of her is caught. At last sli? Is brought In safety to the top. A wave of sat isfaction breaks over the multitude, breaking out in a higher wave of rejoicing as she Is clasped in the fond embrace of loving hearts. Then ascended lo the Most High ascriptions of praise from thankful hearts for tlie-rescne of the child, ami petitions for the richest ben (sons 011 iier youthful rescuer. Knima states that while strolling about she slipped and fell to the point where the ledge stopped her descent, and in her ctl'orts to protect herself she grasped the crevice of tlie rocks as stated. To let no was to fall, and she held 011. Iler position was one of great danger, especially for one ot her tender years, and her nerve is truly wonderful. Altogether, her escape from Instantaneous death is miraculous, and her adventure is one that seldom falls to the lot of one so young. Little Kriima will ever remember the meaning ol' tlic word KKVCd. Mr. "Stnnny" Sams, who accompanied Mrs. Jones to tlii! mountain, in endeavoring to dis'cover little Kmma, walked nearly a mile around I in-brow of the mountain, over the roughest kind ol localities. To expedite Ills movements he puled oil' his hoots, and at. the close of his search his feet were bruised nnd bleeding. He reached a part of the mountain fitr holow the point where Kinma was, and saw her position. lie hurriedly proceeded to Stone Mountain for assistance. The people responded as one man. Stores were closed, business wassuspended, and men, woolen and children partool; of the excitement ?Utile Km ma was rescued, as stated, by (icoi'ire !1.
