Miss Fannie May Witt, one of the editors and proprietors of the Hoys find (rir/n of the Suir(h% a sprightly and interesting weekly journal published at Atlanta, Ga., was here yesterday, j in the interests of her paper. Miss "\\"itt has quite a turn for writing stories, and is engaged in writing several i serial stories for some of our most in-j fluential dailies. Combined with herj talent in this respect she has most cap-, tivatiug manners and pleasing personal appearance. We are glad to state that she received quite a number of; subscribers while here, and we are persuaded that they will read hersto-j lies, with additional interest and pleasure, after having seen and made the acquaintance of the fair author.

So pay lip or expect to have your paper stopped. tf The town council, we learn have! determined to "mechademise" Washington street all the way from the Public Square to the Depot. If they will scrape oil* from three to six inches of mud they will tind an excellent "mechademised" road as far as Miller's Hotel. It occurs to us that it would be cheaper to haul off the mud than to put new rocks on the street. If the mud on the Public Square were removed, a beautifully mecnademiseu foundation could be had at from one to three iuches below the presentmuddy surface. Profkssionar. burglars.said tobe from Charleston, contrived the means! of access to the safe of B. Reynolds, Jr.,' & Co., of Greenwood, Monday night,; blew it open atid procuscd some three or four hundred dollars. It was done at a late hour in the night, pursuit was wade early next morning and they were found in the woods near by by, counting the money ; were taken and lodged in jail yesterday evening. , They also helped themselves to a suit of clothes apiece. We did not learn < the names of the parties. Fikb at Hodgks.?The gin house belonging to Dr. B. C. Hart, at Hodges, was destroyed by tire last Sat- ; tirday about midday. No woik had , been* done in the house for several I days, and the fire cannot be accounted i /or. i*Yp.pi)t in the sunnosition that it was set on fire by an incendiary, and being located in full view of the whole town it would seem almost impossible for any one to be bold enough to attempt such a thing in day time. The machinery and several hales of cotton were destroyed. Partially insured. j Tub Doctors alrout town have been vaccinating a number of our people.; Some of our citizens, however, rather than pay fifty cents, and suffer a few days from a pore arm. have concluded to take the risk of having small, pox. j To the men ve have nothing to say, in urging them to protect themselves; from the chances of this terrible dis-! va^e, but in our town there are scores' of pretty women whom we would be wirrv fo see Ditted wilh small riox. We hope that our pretty girls may be ! vaccinated at once. |] We had tlie pleasure of a call y ester- i <day from Mr. W. H. Whit lock of i New Market. By his energy ami busi- < ness capacity he has proved that t here j' i* a profit in runningsteam machinery. 1 lie is agent for the sale of the best;' *ter\m engines, mills, and agricuefural ; implements, and it is only necessary j to let him know your wishes. He . doesu't care whether you want it for cash or on tick. ! | Mr. Dale B. Bakkpdai.e, died in ! Enterprise neighborhood, last .Saturday of typhoid fever,aged about fortyeight years, and was buritd at Upper Long Cane on Sunday. Rev. Mr. Pearson preached the funeral service. Mr. Barksdale was a quiet and unobtrusive citizen, a good farmer, and ^ much respected by all who knew him. < He leaves a disconsolate wife and! I many friends to mourn bis death. The cars on the Augusta and ] f'novvlllp R<iilrnjul will lie rnntiini? to . Troy by Saturday night, and we learn j that a daily train will thereafter run, on regular schedule time. The work i progresses, and we hope to be able to! announce the completion of the road j to Greetiwood in time to carry off the) next cotton crop. There seems to be. some contention about locating some j of the depots. j It does seem to us that a three million dollar railroad ought to give us a walk to the depot. A few dollars! spent In a platform below the depot! beside the track would be of immense) advantage to passengers. As at pres-! eut passengers often have to get out! in the mud from ten to thirty feet' from the platform. ; The Emporium of Fashions in order to make room for a large spring stock in its new quarters, is now offer-: iug extra bargains in all kinds of| goods, and the ladies must be sure to get their prices before purchasing else- ; where.

Editors /Vc.\s and Jlanw: \Yc have just received, thanks to Hon. J. Maxwelll, tli<! Thirteenth Annual report of tliu Statu Superintendent of Jvducatioti. and have glanced hastily over it. We found it quite interesting ami I full <>f valuable information. It is a care- j I'u 11 v rliirootoil ami well nrenarod ' report, Its general mike-up rellcets credit on ourStaleSuperintendent. When in* lias occasion to <lo so,-ho does not hesitate to express his opinion frankly ami positively, and yet he does not elaiin for it an ex-eathedra iniportanee. Whilst he is cordially in favor of pushing for-J ward our educational interests vigorously still the general tone and drift of the report is conservative, and wisely so. Wo I regard our State as peeuliarv fortunate in having so able a gentleman at the head of our educational interests. The report re- j commends that the countv-sehool commissioners he appointed hv the Governor. \\'e will extmet a sentence or so here : "The selection of County-school Commissioners bv popular election has not, as a jreneral rule, resulted iti the choosing of the men hest lilted for tlio discharge of the responsible duties of thai important otlice. There are duties which no law, can preset ibe; hut which must be per-1 formed by intelligent, zealous, and trained I officers, who command the respect and cunlidenee of teachers and parents. The i (.ountv School Commissioner should have the qtialiticalion of training charae- j ter, and capacity, which would mark him as a man titted to be at the head of the educational interests of his county." Wo ' regret that he did not make his suggestion complete hv advocating the payment \ of a salary sufficient to procure the servi- i cesof men with the qualifications which ! he describes. It is out of the question to! expect to obtain such men with the pre-1 sent emoluments of the oitice. If we do- 1 sire the best order of talent, we must be I willing to pay for it. A larjie part of the! report is devoted to Normal Schools, and j it is very clear that Mr. Thompson is an ! enthusiastic advocate of them. It con-j tains a synopsis of several lectures de-j, livercd on various topics by teachers ofj the State Normal Institute. A point!, made by one of the lecturers we think I well worthy of reproduction?the superiority of school-teaching as such over the! private-tutor system. "There can be no better established fact than that school-r teaching is in itselfsuperior to individual, private instruction. No two minds are] I alike, it is true ; but arc there any two i objects alike in nature? And yet they j1 are all subject to the same general laws. I' Their leading characteristics arc the same, j So with the mind." The school is the ' complement of the family. In the school i1 we meet our equals, whilst in the family ve do not tincl them. The pupils of a 1 school stimulate one another. It is hard [ to overestimate the advantages of friction ' not only among children, but among!; grown-up people as well. We like to feel the touch of the elbow and we all < know the beneficial effects of a generous 5 rivalry. By contact with each other at I school, children learn to make mutual } concessions ; to maintain their own 1 rights and yet not to infringe upon the j rights of others. We would like to ex- J pand this idea if we had moic time at 1 our disposal. In answer to a question pro- ' pounded as to the proper length of the ( daily school session, from live to six J hours was recommended. We heartily ' endorse this opinion ; to pre tract the 1 session too long taxes the strength be- !l votul measure, and exhausts the energies 1 i>f both teacher and pupil; mere length ^ r>f session is no criterion as to the excel- 1 lence of a school. We believe it to be an *ct of unnecessary cruelty to make the ' exercises t<V> long. r The statistics furnished by tho report 51 i^ives us some idea of the magnitude of 1 the school-work. During the year 18s>0-81, I i* ehnd 3,057 public schools in our State r *nd 321!t teachers. What a wonderful in- 1 Flueuce these schools and teacheis exert ' 5ver our people ! It permeates and rami- P fies into every nook and corner of the State. And then, too, our educational f system is being constantly improved, its j machinery is being perfected, and its '* ? 1 .1 a..i? 4i... It: lrniis are oemg e.Mt-uueti. vm^y jther day, we heard a gentleman say that" ' i distinguished politician of this Suite de- v ;)arcd that education was the popular issue a jf tho day, and that the educational wave <J was sweeping over this country, carrying 1 everything before it. That no politician ?ould afford to oppose it, or else lie would (' lie swept down by it. Now we wish to ? >ffer one thought in this connection. Our ) educational system is in a tentative state, 1! in a nervous, restless condition. We are ;l learning new maxims, trying new method* ' md hearing now men. Let us he careful Jiat we do not become too utilitarian in jui ideas. This is the danger .against which we should guard. Our educational r system is too wide ; our educational intiuenee too gigantic to admit of a mistake s liero. Wo have thoroughly educated r jentlemen within the commonwealth, v men good and true, who ought to control j. ind guide the educational current ol' the lay. Let them weigh well every proposed change in our educational system j, so that we may not have to undo that which we have already done. \\\ L.

How Farmers May Reduce Expenses, j A distinguished railroad citizen of Georgia remarked sometime ago that the ]' farmers of this State had it absolutely in i th ir power to materially reduce the earn- j' itigs of the railroads if they would raise j WII<>1> tlic; WI1MIIIIV Ull Liiv 11 UV>JI iai uir>. | This statement contains enough snbslan-;: tial truth to attract attention of every in- il tclligent planter in the State. * |< It is eviciont to every man of common i sense that a very large proportion of tlio , high dividends paid l>y the railroads in?< this State, since the war, have beeti deriv-11 ed from the heavy shipments to our fam-li ersof provisions, fertilizers, farmers utensils, machinery and many other articles 1 of like character, most of which could undoubtedly he provided by the farmers themselves If they would only determine to do so. By our system of farming, however, our planters have gotten in the habit of importing neatly everything they : use, thus placing upon themselves the; double burden 01 nrsc purcuasuiK nu?t; the.y need at ruinous prices abroad, ami ; tben paying freight rates to ttie roads, | both on what they send out from their | farms and on what they thus import, and 1 there is no doubt that this double drain upon thein must work disastrously to the farming interests of the State. The only certain remedy for thife state' of affairs is to bo found in our farmers producing a diversity of crops, instead of crops, instead of concentrating all their energies upon one or two leading articles, and paying more attention to the "home supply department of the Jarm. If our planters will adopt this system of farming they wll soon cut oil'at least half their present freight expenses, and will vastly increase their own independence. I A Calamity to Two Old People. The loss by fire of the elegant dwelling of Mr. A. P. Cornier in this county* on the night of tlie 24th of January, was a calamity which excites the sympathy of every one, while the circumstances would make the most thoughtless shudderat the thought of the presence of persons in our county capable of committing a deed so cowardly and so cruel. It was no doubt the work of an inccndiary, and it is a great wonder that all of Mr. Conner's family were not burned to death: A correspondent of the Medium furnishes the following particulars of the sad affair: "On the '24th January some one silently and stealthily, at the hour of midnight, crept into the dwelling of Mr. A. P. Conner of this county, and after saturating the floor, hall and stairway, with kerosene set lire to it. The lire was put in the south west corner of the parlor, tlio most remote from the part of the house occupied hv the family. The parlor was on the ground tloor, and in the west end of the house. The family occupied rooms upstairs and in the eastern end of the house. The family of Mr. Conner con mms ol Inmsolt his wife, two sons one not trrown, and a grown daughter. When tlio lire was discovered an effort was made l?y tlio family to extinguish it. but the effort provpd a failure. An attempt was then made to save some, of the furniture in the room but in a second, as it were, the fire spread over the room. Mrs. Conner with the oldest son and daughter ran up stairs to try and save something there, but the flames followed them in a second, and they only had time to throw out a few bed flothes. In an instant almost the whole house was in (lames, all ret ret by j the stairway was out oil and the only chance to save their lives was from the upper portico. Mrs. Conner in an effort j to let herself down fell and was partly caught by a colored man breaking her fail' in such a manner as to receive but little injury. Miss Fannie refused to make the effort to jump and was thrown from the upper portico by her brother. In the fall she received serious if not fatal injuriesI The work of the incendiary seems to have] been an attempt not only to destroy thet house but lives of the family as well. I A few minutes more and every* one of j them would have perished in the burning! pile. Mr. ('(inner and his wife are well; stricken in years, and now in their old age by this act are turned out of their: comfortable home tostrnggle, as host they j can, with t lie trials and troubles of an tin- i feeling world. The building itself was! one of the host in the country, and neith-1 cr it nor the furniture was insured. Everything was lost." i A Method With Farm Labor, i In the Telegraph and Messscngcr we find the following in reference to the | farming operations of one of our most , prominent and highly esteemed citizens: j] Judge John Henry, of Ilawkinsville, is j' not only a good merchant, but also one of the best farmers in that vicinity. His ' method is different from anything we! Iiavo heard, and thoretore we give it for the benefit of our readers. , He divides his lands into small tracts, ivith a house and garden spot for each J enant. He employs his hands in this!' wise: They are to work for him on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and i'hursdays of each each week on his part ){the plantation. Then on Fridays, and Saturdays the tenants take the mules and )lows and other implements necessary, uid work their own little farms?the woncnand children working on the same luring the entire week. The mules are cept in a common lot and looked after by til uvui m'ui . i lie icimiu^ i vvcj vu iiw A'ages and M r. Henry no rent for the land ixccpt the four d m' work each week, 1 vhich also pays for the use of mules and I arming implements. Mr. Ilenry feeds K ho stock on his own account. The ten- l[ nits are supplied with provisions during p he year, if they need any, by Mr. Henry t vliicli is deducted out of the tenants crop. C VII of his tenants' farm separately. . The advantages of this system are, the euants have no stock to feed, or run any isk in the loss of mules. They have itnple time to cultivate their own fields, heir families supplying hoe help. The >roprietor has no wages to pay, no mort;:i<*es to take on stock, and no mtiles to ake back in a dilapidated condition. C 'udge ilenry has been running his programme almost ever since the war, and it' I ims proven qnitea success. He has almost! * itirely the same hands he started in with. | )J They are all colored, and there has not 0 teen a Christmas but what every head of j tl amity had from ?50 $J00 on hand to com-1 ucnce the new year. Even this last year, i" vith the disastrous drouth, there was not ? negro on the plantation but what has iff of his own fields, four bags of cotton . tesides his corn, fodder and peas. y A little systematic planning and honest lealibg with the negro will yet make him J he most profitable laborer for the South j1 n all agricultural districts. This method I s worth the consideration of our farmers ' nd a fair test will determine its practical- ility. Useful lliuts for Measuring Land.

Tlie city owns sw.ihiu 01 me siock or 2,000 shares. This, with the stock recently sold by the .State of South Carolina to a citizen or Augusta, forms a controlling interest in the road. The rumor credited the South Cli:olina Railroad with endeavoring to purchase both these blocks of stocks, The control of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad by the Clyde Synrlicate cuts the South Carolina Railroad oil' from the upper part of South Carolina.

If JT r OLD PRINTIXO IN Itf. Mr. Tichborne, F. C. S., has thoaght fe Worth while to examine tho printing-inks ?> of the 8ixteenlh and seventeenth centuries, * with a view to discover the kind best Buited for printing' books or works of art ~~ which are to be long preserved. The ink at present in use, he Bays, consists of car- t bon in a fine state of division, ground tip ^ with a mixture of oils, soaps, and a eubBtance called printer's varnish, which in all good printing-ink is linseed-oil,specially prepared. It is by means ot this oil,when properly prepared, that the ink or pigment _ adheres firmly to the paper. Mr. Tichborne has examined specimens printed in f different parte of Europe, and finds "that J the older printing-inks are more easily Baponitied and washed off by alkalies,than _ those of the last centnry. In their general character," ho remarks, "they aj,'ree; as . carbon seems to have been the basis of | noiniinip.ink from the time of Johann j" t'1 Faust, and for this reasdn printed matter | will bear the action of acid oxidisers, or j bleachers with impunity; but many, if not , I all, the printing-inks of the fifteenth and j " sixteenth centuries are more or less sensitive to the action of alkalies. Some' art BO extremely sensitive, that on intrcduc- j t Sug thern to a weak solution of ammonia, 1 the characters instantly float off the earface of the paper,although they may have previously withstood the action of a pow- I erful acid bleaching bath. The only ex- J planation I can offer is, that the oils used as vehicles were not formerly submitled to the boiling process which, in ths J modern inks, has thoroughly Wjiuided -Chamber's Journal AN ORDINANCE, ro RAISE SUPPLIES FOR THE TOWN OF ABBEVILLE S.
