I School Commissioner 11<?<lias provided i \ tcuJiut accommodations at the New lintel frtr cv ! > teacher who may come. The malTor of expense while in attendance on the v.wrclscs of the Institute is fully prouidtd tor by him, and the public schools are ordered to lie closed during the session. It would seem that every teacher should lake pride enough in his profession to attend and realize whatever ad vantage may accru from an intermingling with brethren of the same proJi-ssioii. Kven in eases where teachers may liave learned and mastered the whole ait of teaching, they owe it to tiie profession to mi-art information to their less informed rethren. I'.y making themselves worthy and competent they lay the only fonnd-tt'on t<>rj tli'- advancement of their salaries and ti\ the only basis npnn which the public may f-et a higher estimate U|v?n their services. Kvery tcaehcr should should seek to ti-c he-' voinl the level of those who seek only sjillicicnt ability to pass their ex imination and nre satisfied with the capacity to draw their monthly pay from tho public treasury. *1iereis alvvavs plenty of room at the top.1 *.vhil<? the hottoin is n!ways crowded. If the fralary of thi" teacher won 1(5 lie raised ho must "make himself worthy. No i;?c ilii!t of the school authorities can raise the standard of the lonelier. His elevation must come bo-1 cause lie deserves it, ami not from tin- generosity of those vviio are entrusted with the education of the children. No citizen in tin-' ordinary transactions of life, raises the sal-' ar.v of his employee in the h?pe that he may In the future become more efficient. CumToon sense, common justice, wouid indicate < ho course ol waiting for th'* growth in pro- j ikicney of the employee. I".\ee| t in the l.usini?s of teaching, this fact i< fully recognized t>y all persons who are employed l>y others,' nnd it furnishes an incentive to tieconre j lnore and more efficient. We are in favor of n high salary, if the fi'trlfr enn rommmul it. j Hut we a re out and out opposed to the plan j of voting away the children's money as a rharlty to a set of teachers who arc satisfied! with slight attainments and limited pro-' JUieucy. There Is much require! of a school teacher. 1 e?htcs a knowledge of the distance from .^ richn to ('on fetter! ck Cross Roads. or the position of the Information which would enable him to enumerate the l'res-j idents of the L'niled Stales from W:edi- ] inuton down to Cleveland. The tew her needs tho indescribable or uudciluable art i f success in teaching. and in no way can the JeaiJier receive more benellt than in meeting j and commingling with Is is well-informed j bicthreii of I tic* school-room. Let the teacher's ability an I cllicieney rise i <o {l\c top, and his salary will rise in like j manner to the highest notch. KHicient ser- j vices will (Ivuimiil good pay, and no olliccr | of the government should voluntary vote away the children's money to gratify a sen-j limeiit, or to extend a grutuity lo an incllit*iei11 tcacher who cares not t? make even *hr ellbrt to make himself worthy. lion.

A(l?ov C?llcso. By reference to an article which \vc copy v from the Kcoivcc Oturirr it wiii be seen that , the ISuard of Trustees of this defunct institu- t tion will make an ell'ort to resuscitate the old Adger Coilege, at Walhalla. I This .State already has more colleges than It s can support, and we hope this ell'ort to resuscitate a College, which at host could have L but awtakiv existence, may be abandon-w cd. To undertake to re-establish Adger L College, is a tiireatened calami'y s:gainst|[ which we would warn our people. In the I Jlrst place, it Is all right and all proper f?.r the ( ] eople cf Walhalla to wan; good edur-ttlonal i, i!(lvantage.?, but it is all wrong lor thum to j head beloved and honoreJ preachers out J H among the laymen of the different sections!, of the.State, with the intent of preaching to them the necessity ot supporting a c'lHich college and then inducing as many confiding brethren as possible, under religious zeal and church pride, to sign obligations or bonds to * the endowment fund. The history of the > Furman University with its various lawsuits 1 and the consc'iuent distressed condition of < lhc families whose heads were induced to I bign these bonds, together with the yearly |j K'vy oi assessments upon griieanis mc:n-if bens of the JJaptist church, taken with theft never-ceasing demands of tlic c'civy up.-nj' the laity of the Methodist church for men- j" uy to support Wofl'oid Col lose, to say nothing of t!io lamentable condition of the Presbyterians who were induced In a weal; im>jnent to sign the bonds with which the JOo- 1 iff.- Couri-.-r talks about aiding in the re-e.-tah-;' Jlshiuent of Adger College, is enough U> >m kc '1 the people cry out for merry. The Idea that members of achureh should " Ire made slaves for the benefit ??f a literary inKiilution is as absurd as would be the demand for a Methodist Spelling lioolt, u Presbyterian Arithmetic, an Kpiscopalian ' ltcad-'r and I cliner, or a li.?i>ti-t Ocogia]:hy. Away with ail sophistry an.I i.i'.-e leaching that would lead worthy and zealous christians to put tiieir money into Col-i1 for wliicli i< n<> ilomMtwl <>vcm>i ' the demand which is created by a local pride 1 In the building up u school. If W'allmllu wants good educational faeili- < lies, l.-t till* people eMaKi.sh a good school. ' Let them elcet a good principal and appoint ' as many assistant teachers as insiy be ncces- : *arv, but let them not undertake to establish ;1 n new college, uit!i six or euht p >orly ; paid Professors, and then stud oist ;1 honored preachers among the eontidim; flock i' to draw as many as possible into the .snare ol' sljjnms bonds lor "S.vn." The interest of that amount would be ?.vi a year for all time to, (nine, In Krskino College, or in the South [ Carolina college, ?|? a year would p ly tuit on fws, and we presume the blindest udvvc itc oi |1 the resuscitation of Adger College would not , ( claim for that Institution one half ol thead-j vantages which eoi.ld I e had at Hrskiao t r the South Carolina College. If the present clamor against t lie South far-; i ollna College, which comes chiefly from IV.:jiutn University and WotJord College, means j anythlug at all, it is a proclamation of their j own tils tressed condition. Then why add!1 Adger College to the people's burden, and; vhy divide the present limited patronage which is now extended to all the colleges of 1 the State? Now, letus not be misunderstood. We do 'i not oppose a good school, or a good college in j Walhalla?if the people of that section pay ; for it. Hut we shall protest with all oar' might, Hud shall warn our people ajainst be-1 IUI mil) ?>ucu I'l'iiuMwi iiiu.iMirt,?? lis |" theslguiug of S">0u bom!* Xor tiic benefit of', u college at Walhalla. Krsklne College, J< l>y the purchase of scrip, will give lis J full benefits for SI", l'urman and Woll'ord , will give most excellent educational facilities < for small fees, and there is no earthly need of our people placing themselves inanembar-' rassing condition to establish a cAmv/t col lege, until we -shall have church spellers, cfundi .arithmetics, church mathematics, church l.at. In, Greek, anil French text books, church metaphysics, and church natural science. We contend that !l is a grievous wrong to burden the members of a church with a denominational college, when that burden deprives the household of needed comfort* or the actual necessities of lite. The Kcjui< Courier speaks of "such of the obligors a> ; arc ubic to pay," virtually admitting that j nonie zealous friends of the college, who :ig:i- j cd these bonds, are cither unable to pay, or, <eaunot pay without great hardship. The i ha of breaking up private families and endangering the homestead of those who have been Mattered or cajoled Into signing "bonds" for a new college must b j revolting to every right-thjnkiug person, cipecJally when it is remembered that we already have so many t.\cei!cut Collects in tlio State.

The spokesman of the party suggested tu that they conduct llogzan to Mrs. i$runcr's house nml let Iter see him, but the negro would not agree tollils. He said, "It's no use. I did it. Nliu lives two miles from here, and I r,. don't want to see hor. She will know me and t| I would rather she would not see me."

The cry of "bring the mills to Hie colton" is p not being shouted so lustily In tho .South as it || wasa lew years ago; and tticabnermai boom c which cotton factoiIts bad In the state for a c grief season lias collapsed ho suddenly as to |, give rise to the suspicion that there Is not so p much money to bo made at the business after all. More than one factory in tlie South. ? some In the Slate, has had to close down p within I lie past twelve months, other* havn't ? paid any dividends In twice that length of fl time, wialle nota few are now running either ? at a loss or barely making both ends meei. In c a con versatlon had some days ago wlih >Ir. ti Ferguson Darbcr, tlie president ol the Fishing Creek Factory in Chester eountiy, he ascribed tlie present serious depression in the the business of manufacturing cotton yarn lo the close proximity cf the price of that article to the average price of I lie raw materid, the b prices being neurer together now than they t have been In forty years. it is 1110 opinion 01 n Mr. Barber thrt there are oilier mills which b will have to follow the example of IIioko nl & ready closed down, but he expressed himself h as having great confident In the ultimate fu- n ture of cotton factories?those that will be v at)!e lo bridge over prevent difficulties. ,1 lie says there in 110 doubt about tlie fuct ? that in facto 11 oh where sUum power Ih em- ii ployed, tney are being operated ut u gieat dis- ti advantage when compared to their more for- ii tumtte competitors which are being run by 1, water power. Hy wny of proof, lie says in ? May 'SI the dam of the Fishing creek factory \ was broUen b* a heavy freshest, and for two v weeks the mill had to be run by steam.?Dur- ting Unit period It wa# ascertained by a strict u aceount, kept with tiie view of learning the c diUetvuec. if nny, In the expense of the two ? powers, that it cost just S11.70 per day more to &i run the factory by steam power than by water power, te say nothing of the interest oa the money invented In the engine. And at that time .Mr. Barber's factory was only running something over lutiO spindles. Mr Bur- c ber f-ays he has il'M) acres 01 land which any u one can take, and enjoy the rents and profits q inerefore, as long as they will pay him the diltercnce between the average expense ot running Sao:) spindles bv water and by steam. . Mr. Barber Ireely concedes tlie superiority '! of Morthern skilled labor ever sinilar lubor , available at the South. He says Southern J1 mills have to run twelve hours in a day to ac- 11 conipllsh wlint the Northern mills do in ten. P When asked the (jucsiion if yarn manufactured from seed cotton, us is done by what is * known as the Clement attachment process, is I stronger nn'i mere uuraoie man mat muui- n from lint cotton, Mr. Harbor replied moat em- e oliaticatly that it is not. Hr says Hint even It his brother, who is running si Clement atachment, has at lust conceded the fact Ihut his , yarn is no better than that made by the usual t] process, lie says of course the longer the liu t is allowed to remain on the seed, drawing strength as it does from the oil in the sei'd, the better the thread will be, but it will make r iiu difference whether the yarn be made di- 1 reel from the seed cotton or from the lint after it has beea separated frotu the seed by the fi ginning proccHX. Oue of Clio great disadvantages the South- c cru factories have been laboring under is the s very great expense, In the way of exoihlt-int ' commission* etc., attending the sale of their ? yam on the Northern markets.

C Improving Lniiils lor Crop*. n I Southern CuHivntur.] The latter part of A usitst and September follow nil '^1 tlio land where the oats and wheat crops wore in?de; * harrow in from one-half t? three-fourths of ? Imsh.-i of rye to the nere. The following spring about the p| tenth or liftecnth of Aprlf turn umier tliu rye as it he- 'r Bins to head out. Harrow well; run off row# live feet apart for corn; sow aciil phosphate and kainit; run small shovel ill furrow to mix with soil; drop ^ corn about three and a half fret apart; rover with j.( board; cultivate deep nml thoroughly and there will v be a flood yield of corn. If It is desirable to follow cotton with corn, sow rye in cotton about *20 h of Ailputt; plow in with sweeps. If there is wire or lJermu<l:i i;r?ss in the laud, bed up about the lastol July ; ill reverse the beds every two weeks until September; (j plow diagonally across beds to level ground; sow in rye, and following spring plant in cotton or corn nml j p the grass will be destroyed, no nutter low thick a i growth there Is on the land. Another way to destroy wire cram is to bow In rye In fall; plant in pwtatoes the n#\t yea>-. or imy other nny cro|> fur which hogs will root, then allow hoist to Pi run on the land all winter. 1 consider rve the best [mums producing crop that wo can net for s:>ay or nl sandy lauds; would prefer clover for red sliil'soils. id l'eas iire very good, hut tliey come tu :it such tt time that it is almost impossible to ^et tlicin sown. I.'yo ^ iran be put In lifter the crop Is laid by at about utie-1 third cost of peas. Another advantage in rye is, th 't you have crop a ''' {rowing on the land in winter, which prevents leach- [ Ing aid tho advantage of winter pasturaae for milk1"' :ows and hogs. The rye hinders the brcukins ?l the j" land in the spring mid cniisoipietilly makes tho after j "l srnp a little late, but nearly every farmer has one or i n< more extra horses which ho can atfold to work at this i limo to expedite matteis. j If dosirsd to keep the same land in cotlon year after | pt rear, sow rye in cotton when laid by ami the land will | t'i lever eel hard and close as it does without any fallow j :rop, neither will it bo so liable to wash. ^ j j>, Wake count}/.

Jlut all varieties are hot rqualvalnable. For Instance, the white kinds cause the ws to pro-luce more milk than the yellow, but these Iter ar? more nutritious. In so great a degree Is the ptdy of milk larger from cows on the white that, the end. the supply of butter Is larger fn in the mo cow than wnen they are fed on the yellow. It idttiiys best to plant both the while and yellow vu? :tie*, so that the cattle mny bo fed in the tall, first i the fi rmer, and when these are con>umed( then) i the latter.

In llie selection of etiws for the dairy It most be tnembered llint all cows are not equal! ndtpted for le t-anio |?iir|M>iie*. K?r soine years eatlle have been red lur special purposes, and the dairyman will make misiuku if he docs Mot regard this fact. It Is well lolerslood as fiindumuital principle of anlinal cconny that two distinct elements cmnot be fully and teccssfiilly developed in the same individual. A iw that takes on flesh and fnt freely cannot orillnaly uuike n cood uiilkur; and one making a loree lib al flow of milk 'annot at the same time, be a good mill for beef. The dairyman who desires to reach nth these ends must make some compromise of both full*; and. therefore, the question of comblDutiou lust be ? lsely studied. % At the outset It must bo determined f?r what pnruse the nnnlr.ets of tin' dairv run tm must nrnHlnhlv seil. If the dairyman Is convenient to a town or ty that furnishes good ma* ket for this purjiose will e tnaile profitable by the use oj II..]?tein or Aysblre iw*. If the convenience* do not justify this trade, nd hotter Is to be the product. Jerseys or fincrnfeys III bring the niort profit, both bccause of qunntlty nil i|iialiiy of butter. If ihe policy determined uj?ii ?h:.|l be milk or butter and beef, probably, it will e better tu use Shorthorns. If, however, the dnlrymn in this 1 ?nt ease is seeking slinply n means of reeving himself of his Increase In stock. In finding :i1c for his surplus, it may bo worth while to consider [ml a cult breil for n special purpose, will command belter price, ordinarily, than one having nothing pi ci.il to commend it. It Is not generally true that n antin l brei! to be slaughtered Is as valuable on lie mark-1 as one thought worthy to perpetuate Its ua'ities for profit After determining tbo breed to be selected, few airy men arc uble to stock their farms with a heid of hi-rouuhbreiN nt onee. The prices for all Improved lock have continued high. In oar opinion they will ot be much reduced for some years to come. This ilflculty can be met somewhat f>y grading tip cattle, "lie process Is a little Mow, but It pays a haddsome Innine on the Investment. A Ihorouh-bred bull crosscd pon good native cons will produce results In ft few ears i quiil, in every partlcu'nr, to thnrongh-brc<!s exept In market value of stock. This fact la of lmortance to farmers generally. It is time tbe place of ifertur cows on our farm was occupied by Improved utile. It Is certainly trne that dallymen should not onfino themselves to cows that have not been socialy bred for years for dairy purposed, as the "general nrpose cow" Is not profitable In the dnlijr. While It tnsy be generally true that certain breeds re the best for certoln ptirpo?es. It Is a matter of lmoitance to see that the individuals chosen are vigorous and possessed of marks nsnaliy Indicating their tness. All cows of the same hreeil are not iqnelly mm. i ne dairyman must icnrn me marcs oi n goixl iiw and make hip putclits*- upon individual merit eft-r determining the breed best gulled to his purposes.
