He is placed In a different cell, and the probability is, that he will not again escape from our jail by means ol a scuttle bole and lightning rod. Lightning rods on Jails serve an excellent purpose in conductory prisoners to the ground. The County Commissioners met last Monday. The usual routine work was done.

Agnew, died August J.ith. 18S9, which was her birthday, making her 3(i years old. Her health had been failing for some time and when dropsy set in it soon did Its fatal work. She leaves a bereft husband and Ave little motherless children, to whom her loss is irreparable. In her death it has been verified that "death loves a shining mark," as her life of usefulness and devotion f exemplified. When quite young she professed Christ and UDjted with the Greenville church making a consistent member all her after life, and there, amid the tears and sympathies of a large concourse of friends and relatives, she was laid to rest to await the resurrection of the Just. Her expressions of submission to the Divine will and her willingness to die when she had so many ties to bind her to life, but exemplifying what divine grace can do in the human heart. She was a devoted wife, a loving, tender-hearted mother, a good and kind neighbor and a strong believer in the faithfulness of her Redeemer to those who {Hit tl?ptr trust in Him. So of her It may be said "Neither can they die any more, for they are equal to the angels and are the children of Got1, being the ehl dreu of the ^ eeBurrecUoD." * * P. . I | OVER LAND AND SEA.

Editor Press and Banner: The morning dawn of July 18, revealed to our ea;;cr eyes the lovely coast of the Emerald Isle, th? beauty of which was Intensified innny fold by eleven days of the monotonous sea. The western coast Is mostly rugged and precipitous and without trees, but Interspersed with pleasing valleys, adorned with white cottages and little farms. The variegated colors of the different crops formed a charming panorama of mosaic work. We passed Giant's Causeway and sighted the first trees on the northeast coast. They had the appearance of fruit trees, and the landscape became still more charming. We were delighted: but oh, how our enthusiasm increased as we neared the beautiful coast of "Bonnie Scotland!" As we sailed up the Frith of Clyde, whose banks are studded with picturesque stone cities, with a background of towering hills, upon whose summits was a purple glow we had never seen before, except in art. We thought and spoke of our own beautiful Hudson. Passing the Isle of Bute, the cities of Dunoon, Guoydoc, and Wemyss, we stopped at Port Glasgow, where our baggage was Inspected by courteous officers; then landed at Greenoch, and took the train" for Glasgow, reaching there ? * m.ia atill /lavlLvht On/) TOOWfl Q IT P. Willie Xl> OVilt uajii^uwj ?UU T?w?v UM> prised to find it was nine o'clock. Glasgow, tbe second city of Great Britain in size ana commercial importance, with its great wharves, huge stone houses, Its spacious well-pavod streets, has an air of wealth and unmistakable prosperity. The old ?athedrul and Crypt; the Necropolis, a beautiful and picturesque "City of the Dead;" the magnificent University, occupying the finest site in the city; the Municipal Building, the handsomest in Scotland; and George Square, with its ilowers and statuary; all shared our attention and admiration. We visited Ayr and the humble, strawthatched home of the poet Burns, taking- in the old Alloway Kirk and the "Bonnie Doon" with the "Auld Brig," then back to Glasgow. Then, next to Edinburgh, going tbrough the Trossachs, crossing Loch Lomond and Loch Katrine by steam ooal, traveling about twenty miles in wagonettes, then by rail to Stirling Castle, and from there to Edinburgh, revelling in Scotland's grandest and most beautiful scenery. The weather was specially favorable Uie day we wont througb the Trousachs, and during our whole Journey iu that uncertain climate we were not delayed a single day by the rain. Our first impression of Edinburgh, the "Modern Athens," was obtained from our room window early In the morning, aqd a most agreeable one It was; for we looked oat upon tne broad, handsome Princes St., fronting Princes Gardens, and Just beyond, the picturesque old Castle, perched upon the summit of a projecting rock and rising high above the city; while farther down in the garden the Scott Monument lifted its graceful spire. Wo spent two days and three nights there, doing the city very satisfactorily ; attending servico at St. Giles Cathedal and also at St. Mary's; and visiting the principal plaoes of Interest, such us the Art-Galleries, the Castle, Holyrood Palace, the University, the Museum, the celebrated Prince Albert equestrian statue, and Calton Hill with its line monuments which affords one of the best views of thp i-it.v to be obtained. And after we have seen many other cities, wo think Edinburgh the uioet beautiful we saw beyond the Atlantic. The historical and legendary associations render it especially facinatlng to us. From Edinburgh we went to London by rail, a distance of 439 miles in eight hours. We had a tine opportunity ol noting the high state of cultivation of the soil, whioh gives tho whole country the appearance of a charming landscape garden. We were enraptured with Scotland, and the plain atone houses, rock walls, and substantial air about everything seemed in perfect harmony with the sober, honest, sturdy Scotch character. We did not see even a plank fence until we had gone some distance In England, and no wooden house stands upon Scotch soil. All kinds df work seem to be the best and of the most solid character. We bad always regarded London with a certain amount of awe, on account of its vast size and dense population, and looked forward with a little apprehension to our stay there, fearing we might meet with difficulty In finding our way to places specially interesting to us. But alter a day or two, we felt as much at ease as in New York, and had no trouble whatever anywhere. We found the most courteous and efficient policemen there of anywhere we visited; and it inspired us with great admiration, when we saw them, simply by a wave of the hand, stop a whole street full of conveyances, in order to assist some unlucky- pedestrian over a difficult crossing. We experienced their unvarying kindness and courtesy many times, and never did we interrogate one of "Her Majesty's" officers without receiving a civil reply and due consideration. Sight-seeing is hard work, but our party started out with the determination to make the most of the stay in London. We began our tour of the city with a vlBlt to St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, the National Art Galleries, and at night to see Madame Tussand's famous wax works. Then we look excursion carriages for two days and rode over the most interesting parts of the city, stopping at Guild hall and visiting the council room where court was in session; rode through Hyde Park, through the principal streets of the city, by Buckingham Palace; and to Windsor, where we spent the day; to the Ken Gardens, the finest In England, and to the superb Prince Albert monument Some of the other placei visited were the Crystal Palace, by rail; the Zoological Gardens, Kensington Museum, British Museum, the l)ore Art-Gallery; and the Tower, which Is not a single structure, but a series of buildings. In one of the rooms are kept the crown jewels of England: and we had the pleasure of seeing "Her Majesty's" bona fide crown of state, the Prince Consort's, and that of Edward III., and the other royal jewels. We were allowed to walk through the Parliament Houses with an officer before and one behind cgpslaotly shouting "pass on, please; pass on:" consequently we were marched through in half an hour. Sunday lound us wending our way to Spurgeon's Tabernacle, expecting to hear Canon Farrar in night, in which we were disappointed. At 3 p. in., we heard the Arch-bishop of London at St. Paul's: and Sunday night found us again crowded on the third floor of the Spurgeon Tabernacle among the five thousand eager listeners. We attended prayer in the Crypt of St. Paul, and Choral service at Westminster. Alter spending six days in London, we left for Paris, crossing the channel from Newhaven to Dieppe. The day was calm and fair and the passago delightful. Carriages were engaged at Paris for three days sight-seeing, accompanied by an intelligent English guide. We took in most of the places of interest in those three days, and we will simply name them. The churches were Notre ?)ame, St. Etienne, the Pantheon, theTrinlte where we witnessed an aristocratic faneral service, St. Germain l'Auxerrols, St. Eustache, St. Chapel'e, and attended service at the beautiful Madeleine. We drove down the Champs Elyseess and all the fine boulevards, through the plnco de la Concorde, the Tuillries, the Park Monceaux, the Bols de Boulogne, the Btittes Cbauinont. to the place de la Bastille, and the Triumphal Arch. We visited St. Cloud, the Grand Trianon, the Palace of Versailles, the Porcelain Factory at Sevres, the Hotel des Invalides and the Tomb of Napoleon. the cemetery Bere-la-Chaise, the Morgue, the Courts of Justico and the Bourse. We took in the Exposition, spending near i?u uayts iu iuu gruuuuii; visueu me Louvre and the Palais du Luxenbourg. We utilized ?very minute we had in Paris and think wo obtained a pretty fair idea of its beauty and splendor. And while some of its boulevards surpass in magnificence anything of the kind we had seen before, we traly think that our own Washington City, taken as a whole, excels it in beauty. We were not pleasantly Impressed with its people,' and its beggars were incapable of exciting much sympathy. An English lady-resident of Paris remarked to some of our party that there is only one Paris and one paradise; but truthfully do we think the two are very far apart; With all its magnificence, we would like less to live in Paris than any other city we saw. Alter six days in Paris we returned to London, a passage indelibly stamped upon the memory of our party, for all the horrors of th* twelve day s voyage across the Atlantic were compressed in the five hours trip from Dieppe to Newhaven. Almost every member of the party was sick unto death. Prom stern to stern of that boat the m< vns of the suffering made a sad accompaniment to the tossing and splashrng of the waves. The next morning, some of the party, wit* white, drawn faces declared they would not v oss the Channel again for any sight beyond. This time we spent two days in London, going from there to Stratford-on-Avon, as pilgrims to the home and burial plaoe of the Immortal Shakespeare. Then passing through the most beautifal part of England to Leanington, Warwick, and Rugby, catching a glimpse of the Castle as we passed Warwick, we reached Glasgow about 9 P. M. We spent the next day there, and then boarded the steamer, "State of Indiana," for Larne, Ireland, at which place we stopped a day, and went by rail, taking about forty minutes, to spend the day at Belfast. This thriving manufacturing city, which reminded us very much ol some of our own, has a population of about 220,000 inhabitants. We were very pleasantly impressed with the whole appearance of Belfast; we saw no beggars, and everybody seemed to be busy and contented. In some of the largest stores you could hardly realize that you were not in an American store, and they would invariably tell you the prices of articles In American money. After a rough voyage of eleven days, duriog k. IM IjiiMMiiMMl two of which there waa what 'we who were not sailors' called a storm, we were made happy by a sight of the loveliest shore that ever made glad oar longing eyes. We declared In our patriotic enthusiasm that we bad seen none to surpass it, and with grateful hearts we set foot again on our dear native land, I feeling that it 1b the greatest country on earth, and proceeded to the Custom House to have our Daggage inspected. The officers were very gentlemanly, but we fear the ardent patriotism of some underwent a slight chill when tbey had to pay 94.75 duty on a $7.00 meerschaum pipeand 56 on a dozen pair of kid gloves. Still ours Is a glorious country, and should our fertile soli ever be brought to the same state of cultivation as that of England and Scotland it Is bewildering to think of the magnificent results. And the same amount of skillful labor expended upon our farms would render our landscape as charming as theirs. And when our people realize that it is better and more economical to do work well at first, and to build for centuries rather than a few years, there will disappear these temporary, shaky bridges and Inflammable shanties which disfigure onr whole land, and they will be replaced by something similar to those In the Old World, which look as if they would never need repairing. After spending a day and nirbt In New York, we left by the Old Dominion line for Norfolk, Va., where we spent the night after going to Virginia Beach. Then we took the train for home by the way of Weldon, Goldsboro and Raleigh, and after reaching home we decided that the United States lsjthe most desirable abiding place in the world, and that South Carolina is the best of the states and Greenwood the best of South Carolina.

Before the Abbeville Teachm' AnHocintlon at Dae WiMt, 8. C., Antmt22, 1889. In looking over tbe query box column of an educational Journal tbe other day, we found this question asked dy a lady teacher "How can I make my school attractive to my pupils?" The introductory remarks of the answer given by the editor were about as follows: "Perhaps yours Is not a school, and perhaps you ere not a teacher, Apy teacher who deserves tbe name can make her school as attractive as a circus to her pupils." The whole answer Is impractical, as can be readily Inferred, and tended rather to dishearten the earnest seeker after knowledge tbau to be of any profit to her In her arduous work. We fear that too many of our leaders of educational thought are depending more upon tbe novelty of their new theories to bring them Into public favor than upon any intrinsic value tbey may possess. According to tome of them, teaching Is only a delightful recreation, and going to school and mastering the most difficult studies Is nothing but play. Every one who has acquired an education or who has taught successfully knows that work, earnest work, Is an ewential feature of both employment*; and so long as this feature remains, going to school will nst be tbe kind of play that Is as ajiracuve to uuo n vertigo nouuuiuuj ? avuvus. Of coarse we should study new methods ol school management and teaching, and use them as far as It IS practlcablejio do so; but we must discriminate between thetrneand the falsa, between what Is intended merely to make a public lecture attractive to a promiscuous audience and what can be successfully used ln;the schoolroom. Wheneveranytheory proposes to eliminate all laborious work from the vocations of the teacher and the pupil, we may conclude at once that it is false. It is the work which pupils do that educates them, and they are educated in order that they may work more efficiently. Mental training consists in mental work. Is It not prcboble that such men as Calhoun and Webster were really better educated than some of t he great men of our day, be sause. not having the easy methods of learning thai we enjoy, they hap to labor more ardently for what they acquired, and consequently obtained by that very labor a more thorough mental training. In discussing the subject that has been assigned us for this occasion, we eo not propose to lay down a new system of school government that will make the work ol the schoolroom an exceedingly easy one. We shall be satisfied If what we say will tend to more efficient wsrk on the part of both teacherB and pupils. . ' Three topics present themselves for our consideration: First, the object of echool government; second, Its nature; and, third, ltt administration. <4 THE OBJECT. We remark, In the first place, that the direct object of school government Is to preserve order. II la scarooly necessary to oonsume any time In speaking of order as the Indispensable condition of all successful school work. "Order is heaven'i first law," and it la about as necessary to the success of a school as It is to the happiness of heaven. A sohool where everything Is ubaos and confhslon can never benefit any one. So far from being beneficial is such a school, that it is positively injurious to all those whe come within Its influence. The lwportance of order la demonstrated tc us in all tbe works of nature and art, and 11 has been found neeejaary in avery human organisation, from the little family circle to tbe great armies and the g? eat councils of nations, tjurely it la essential In our sobools. That government is necessary for the preservation of order Is equally clear, We are by nature totally depraved, and this depravity manifests Itself at a very early age. It Is the natural tendency of the child, as it is of the unregenerate man, to do evil and that continually. If they do right, it is because they have been taught to do so, at home or somewhere else. We migbt as well expect a tender plant to grow np without protection and without cultivation Into a vigorous and fruitful stalk as to expect a child to become orderly wlthoul tbe restraining Influences of government. Another,though an indirect, objectof school government is to prepare children for becoming orderly end nseful cltlaens. As wefrti' quently have disorderly pupils from families where there is a lack of parental government, so we may expect disorderly citizens from badly governed schools. Where children are required to acknowledge the rightful authority of their teachers, and are subjected to wholesome restraints as they mingle together in obool. they will be very likely in after life tc obey the laws of their conntry and respect the rights of their fellow-clUzens. Teachers would do well to remember that tbey have in each one of their pupil* a future citizen, and thai they will be responsible In a large measure foi tbe kind of a life he may lead. ITS NATURE. No special form of government can be recommended aa abstractly the best, for In framing a system or government we must always consider the character of those who are to be governed by it. A republic is best for tbe people of America, while a despotism may behest for the countries* of Africa. Moral suasion , may suit one school best, and an altogether diflerent method may be best for another. Where communities differ very widely in tastes, morals ana intelligence, any specinc plan of government, though given by the ablest and most experienced educators, would be as worthless as was "Locke's Grand Moaol" to the early settlers of Carolina. The besl guide for the teacher In this matter Is his common sense, and It is to be hoped that he has a liberal share of this valuable article. If he has not let blm apply blmself, diligently though quietly, to the study of human nature as be sees it around blm every day, and he may Boon have a far better insight into the characters of the people he is among than they are aware of. Let him study with care the community in which his school Is looated, and estimate as correctly as possible the degree of Intelligence and morality it possesses. Let him ascertain what kind of home training and what amount of educational advantaged the children have had. When he has done all this with proper tact, he can form a plan ol management that will be best adapted to his particular school. While we do not propose to offer any definite plan of government, we do not think it amiss to make the following suggestions: Have as few rules as possible. Of course the teacher is to let his pupils understand from the beginning that they are subject to his authority In everything connected with the school, and that be hais the right to make as many rules as he pleaseB; but if they are sensible of this, there is no use to be continually reminding them of it. It is always unwise for a man to make any unnecessary demonstration of the authority which bis position oonfers upon him, for it shows that he is conscious that he holds it by a weak tenure, and la afraid he might lose it if he did not assert It on all occasions. In many instances the home training has been so good that about the only rule necessary can be expressed ill the two words?Do Right. So long as pupils arc able to discriminate between right and wrong, and are disposed to do what is right, they should be let alone. As long as tbey perform their own work satisfactorily and do nothing to Interfere with the work of others, there is but little use for rules. One of tbe great advantages of having but few rules and making them very comprehensive is that the moral faculty is better trained in this way. When every violation of proper bahavior in school is not designated by a rule, the pupil is led to exercise his own conscience and Judgment aR to tbe right and wrong of each action, and by this very exercise his moral faculty is educated. When every possible offense Is definitely referred to in a rule, there will be a tendency on the part of the pupils to be governed rather by the letter of tbe rale than by Its spirit. Tbey are very apt to think that everything not positively prohibited by a rule is right. Where there are too many rules tbey will seldom inoulre whether any action Is right or wrong. Their question will be, is it against the rule? In order to illuBtraie this disposition on the part of small children, please allow us to relate a little incident which occurred in a country school that we taught during one of our college vacations. On the morning we opened school, we went fully equipped with a long list of rules, in which we hud carefully itemized, as I thought, every species of mischief that a small boy, or girl either, could conceive of. One of the rules was as follows: "No pupils shall be allowed to throw stones while on the school premises." In a few days after scheol opened a little boy came from the plny-ground during recess crying bitterly and reported another boy who had been throwing, contrary to the rules, and had hitblm. We at once called up the offender, and when I demanded bis reasons for violating the rules, he answered very promptly that he had not violated the rules, for it was a peach he threw Instead of a stone. Whereupon tbe injured boy spoke up and said with tearful emphasis, "I don't care if it was a peach, I reckon it had a stone in it," Of course It will oftentimes be necessary for the teacher to go further than simply to tell his pupils to do right. He will have to tell them wbat is right and what is wrong. Unfortunately all children are not so well trained at home, or if tbey are they lay their training aside belore tbey come to school. The teacher may sometimes have to tell his pupils that it is not right lor them tell stories on one another, to use profane or obscene language, or to quarrel and light. He may also nave to tell them that it is not right for them to be idle or to Interfere with tbe work of their fellow pupils while school is in session by talking to them, studying their lessons aloud, walking across the floor, changing seats, etc. He may have to tell them that a great many things are not right, and whenever be does tell them so, it must always mean that they are not to do those things. its administration. This U by far tne most Important and difficult part of school government. Very many teachers have admirable ideas as to the best methods of managing children, and can formulate the most beautiful theories on tbe su'j Ject, but when they come to make a practical application of their theories in the Bcboolroom they utterly fall. In order to perform this important work successfully we suggest, in the first place, that the teacher must constantly subject himself to a rigid self-examination, ana see to It, that his own conduct is exemplary both in the school and out of it. A man who cannot govern himself should not expect to govern others. An immoral or disorderly teacher cannot have an orderly school. When we go toourschool some morning, feeling that our pupils are unusually bad, and that tbey are probably plotting to openly rebel against our authority, we should first see that the difficulty Is not close about Lhe teacher's chair, before we proceed to do anything else. Perhaps we have allowed some trivial circumstance to get the better of our temper, and are consequently Judging our pupils uncharitably and suspecting them unjustly. The teacher mutt be a true friend to all of his pupils, and must lead them to realize that he is such, by being perfectly devoted to their interests. Let us he truly worthy ol all the respect we desire to command. We sugeat again, that the teacher must Impress the fact upon his pupils that his authority over them, while they are in school, is unquestionable and unlimited, and that every order he issues must be promptly and Implicitly obeyed. In doing this however, he should not In any way be offensive. On the contrary hs should strive by every fair means to make bis administration as popular as possible. Let him convince hlspnptls that it is best for them to obey him in this mow T ot him o-rnlnln evflrv lmnortant recru lailon to them, and show t&emlhat it Is latended for their good. There will always be some good and considerate pupils In every sobool who will appreciate the teacher's efforts in their behalf and who will, by their example, help him to . make good order popular. Right here too, the teacher would do well to secure the cooperation of his patrons. Parental government and school government are bo intimately connected- that parents ought to assist the teacher In establishing his authority, and in most cases they are disposed todoso. Have them visit your school as often as possible and become acquainted with all your regulations. They will thus be very apt to grow in sympathy with your work, and will help you to convince your pupils that you are really their friend and that you are working for their interests. When there is not a proper understanding between the teacher ana his patrons the home influence is sometimes sucn as to encourage the children In disobedience at sobool. Whenever a parent cannot consistently enconrage bis children to obey the rules of school he should at once withdraw his patronage. The teacher does not want his patronage any longer. Wben the school is supported by an intelligent oommaolty the majority or the pupils can be controlled without resorting to any very rigid discipline. Occasional reproof; Judiciously given, is about all that will be necessary, and in giving reproof it is best not to be over particular In noticing trifling offenses, that are in themselves Innocent, and can do but little If any barm. It 1b dlugustlng for a teacher to be continually nagging his pupils about trifles. Always be vigilant in observing tendencies, and whenever a hurtful tendency manifests Itself check it at once before the result is , reached. Always remember that "an ounce i of preventive Is worth a pound of cure." i in most sohools, however, there will be pu? . pi is who cannot be ruled by kindness. In dealing with such cases the teacher sbould i remember that order must be preserved regardless of what It costs. A few disorderly pupils must never be allowed to disturb the harmony of a whole sobool. If tiiey cannot . be ruled by love they must be Inspired with . fear. If corporal punishment is the only means | by which the teacher can make sucn pupils i respect dim uuiuunty uu nuuuiu uut u?ihk , Id resorting to It, and when he does apply It he should do It so well that It will not nave i to be ropeatcd very often. When .pupils are , so refractory as to need oorporal punishment all sentimental delicacy about applying: It should be laid aside. It is simply a doty that has to be performed, and there Is no use to apologize for It. i When the Incorrigible offenders are beyond i the age when it would be discrete to use corporal punishment they should be expelled. It may seem hard to deprive a pupil of the i privilege of going to school and subject him to . the disgrace of expulsion, but is far better to I do that than to have tbe whole school Injured by bis connection with It. When a dis, eased and festering member is destroying tbe health and threatening tbe very lire oftne i whole body It Is best to 6ut it off We remark, in concluslpn, that a great deal . of trouble can be prevented by having the i school well organized and all of the work , systematically arranged. Have your school well classified and Judiciously seated. Two i pupils who are inolined to be disorderly should not be allowed to use tbe same desk. . Give your pnpils plenty of work to do, have a well arranged schedule of recitations, and i insist on well prepared lessons, for "an idle i brain Is the devil's workshop." As a rule, i those pupils who have tbe fewest studies and are peamltted by tbelr parents to be Irregular ; In their attendance are tbe ones who give their teachers tbe most trouble. living Words.
