Up to the first of February the

Mr. and Mrs. Bonner, principal
and vice principal of the Due West

The Star says the merchants of

We call attention to an article
in this issue of the ADVERTISER
from the pen of Dr. Timmerman.
It is wise and temperate and is a
diagnosis of the situation from a
Reform standpoint that all honest
reformers and conservatives must
recognize as true.
Gov. Eva?s says nearly every
dispenser in the Stale is behind
in his accounts. The Governor
should give names and specifica
tions. This sort of general state
ment does grave injury to the few
dispensers who have not been "at
it." Let tH*e names be given.
Shortage means embezlement and
embezlement is stealing.
It is said that one part of alum
to nine parts of salt will save
nour pork. Use one and one-half
pounds of alum to 100 pounds
pork; dissolving the alum and
pouring in on the meat as it is be
ing packed. After packing, pour
on enough brine to cover it. It is
claimed that this process will draw
th3 sourness out and save the
meat.
Mr. W. J. Williamson of Mari
on County made on Rss than
. three acres bf land last year $S77
worth of tobacco. The land was
improved and Mr. Williamson
leckons the cost of marketing his
tobacco ai $75 per acre, or there
abouts. Mr. Williamson shipped
his tobacco to Danville, Va., and
the consignee wrote him that it
was the best he had received. The
price paid an average of 60 cents
per pound for"his tobacco.
Au exchange gives the following
sensible advice, which our readers
might try. It is certainly a quick
way to become rich; "Money
makes money. No one is so pooi
that he cannot rake up a penny tc
of tho month deposit'"a cent in a
bank, and on the succeeding 30
days of the month double your de
posit. Follow this programme
faithfully, and at the "nd of the
month you will be surprised to
find that your account will show
the sum of $5, 368, 709 12 to your
credit. With that little sum all
you have to do is to retire and let
the other fellows hustle."

"Were it left to me to decide

A Warning to Cotton Planters.
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 29.-The
Hon. Hector D. Lane, of Alabama,
president of the American Cotton
Growers' Protective Association,
has furnished the following signif
icant memorandum for publica
tion to the people of the South :
"It goes without saying that if
anything like three-cent cotton on
plantations is witnessed next year
a general crash will ensue. Real
estate and securities of all kinds
will reach such a level in the South
as few can imagine:
"European speculators are to
day selling cotton iii Liverpool for
delivery in October, November, and
December, 1895, at a price equiva
lent to abont 4 cents on farms in
the South, for middling,or 5 cents
at the ports, believing that anoth
er 9,500,000 or larger crop will be
grown in America, which would
insure them a profit of at least 1
cent per pound, which would
mean to the farmer about 3 cents
at the railroad stations next au
tumn whsu cotton is moving in
large volumes. It is not to be sup
posed that these shrewd European
cotton people are aggressively sell
ing the next crop at equal to 4
cents unless they have excellent
reasons for believing that the
South will plant for another mon
ster crop.
"They are confident, on informa
tion furnished them, thal Texas
will not decrease its acreage, there
fore believing this to be true to
such an extent that they will be
able to buy back during next fall
the cotton the}- are now selling at
much lower prices, realizing there
by handsome profits.
KIt remains with the farmers
and merchants of the South iq say
whether these European specula
tors will be permitted to reap a
golden harvest at the expense of
the farms, plantations, towns, real
estate and securities of the South.
' "The above statement is from
me officially, and I desire that it
should be presented to the public
as such through the press.
"HECTOR D. LAXE,
President Cotton Growers' Pro
tective Association."
About Factories.
The people of Summerton are
making liberal offers to have a
starch factory established at that
place.
Laurens is to have a $150,000
cotton mill. One half of the capi
tal will be foreign and the other
taken afc home. Work will com
mence this spring.
A public meeting of the citizens
of Lancaster was held Monday to
discuss the feasibility of building
a cotton factory.
Another cotton mill is to be es
tablished in Aiken. The sub
scription list is headed by a dona
tion of ten acres of land and $,5,
000 in stock by one mau.
The citizens of Prosperity have
come to the conclusion that their
town can support a cotton mill and
have begun a movement in the di-,
rection of establishing the factory.

Constitutions Are Not Tempora
ry Affairs,-Some Counsel-From
Dr. Tim merman.
Editor Register : It is at least
presumable that every patriotic
citizen of South Carolina has au
abiding iuterest in tho common
welfare of the State and in the fu
ture destiny of her people.
If such be the case, we may
surely lay aside for the time fac
tional pride aud prejudice and ex
ercise mutual. forbearance anda
judicious discretion in tho selec
tion of men who shall frame and
adopt an organic law for the whole
people. A constitution is a basis
and a guide for all future legisla
tion ; and moreover its framers
will have the power to abrogate
existing laws. Hence it becomes
doubly important that discretion,
judgment and wisdom be used in
the selection of delegates to tho
constitutional convention, provi
ded for by the last General Assem
bly, and also in the joint action
j of them when couvened. Again,
a constitution is not intended to
subserve a temporary or experi
mental purpose as is sometimes
the case in the enactment of stat
. ute law. It has a higher, wider
and grander end in view. Ii is
not made for a year or a decade,
r but should be shaped for a genera
. tion or generations. Therefore it
cannot in any proper sense be con
sidered a partisan or factional in
strument or chart. The faction in
? power to-day cannot, reasonably
i expect to_perpetuate itself-. JixMme':
jureen-?rxTir ctiS'erent ideas
and political policies will succeed
' to office and as a consequence to
1 the administration of the affairs
I of the State.
It follows, from this point of
view, that the convention as a
body should have such sanction of
the State Democracy as to inspire
confidence, command respect and
invite support from all rational,
moderate-thinking, patriotic citi
zens throughout the State, We
cannot hope for this result if in
tense partisan or factional feeling
prevails in the selection of dele
gates who shall compose said con
vention. Let Democrats patrioti
cally reason together in a spirit of
amity and fairness and mutually
agree to abate extreme preconceiv
ed opinions for the common good.
Let men of both factions of the
Democratic party in our beloved
State have an opportunity, with
out prejudice or pre-judged favor
or disfavor, of discussing before
the people the changes necessary
to be engrafted, in their judgment,
in the fundamental law of the land
-to the end that the people may
I be wisely and faithfully repre
sented, and all will be well. I will
be quite content, so far as I am
concerned, to commit my destiny
to the men whom the people in
their sovereignty may adjudge
worthy of the trust reposed.
Respectfully,
W. H. TIMMERMAN.

CORRESPONDENCE
Libraries For Schools-A New
Departure, and a Moving On
ward and Upward.
DEAR ADVERTISER : As most of
the schools are now in session and
a greater interest is manifested in
them just at this particulao sea
son than any other during the
scholastic year, allow me space to
suggest a simple, eas}', and inex
pensive way by which every schcol
in our State can provide for itself
a small library.
I take it for granted that no ar
gument is needed to show the in
dispensableness of such an impor
tant adjunct iu every school. And
yet it is astonishing how very
very few communities have ever
realized it. Not one couutry school
in a hundred, take Edgefield Coun
ty over, can point to a single vol
ume of auy kind and claim it as
"our common property."
In the rural districts are found
the brightest minds, the most am
bitious boys and girls. Their wits
are keen, their receptive powers
wonderful ; in their text books
they make rapid progress ; but not
withstanding all this it is a la
mentable fact that if you take the
average school boy or girl they
couldn't for their life tell whether
Shakespeare, Longfellow, Tenny
son, Scott, Wordswoth were ante
diluvians or post-diluvians, Greek
writers or English, living or dead,
men or women! Why? Because
like myself and hundreds of others
who were reared in the country
and were educated (?) in the ''old
field" school, they have had noth
ing to read, consequently have read
nothing.
In tho name of all that, parents
hold dear, viz. the proper training
and developing of their children's
minds, this ought not to Le, must
not be ; and brother teaoher will
you not swear with me that no
longer it shall be?
Wrong, radically wrong, is that
education which does not create a
passionate desire for general read
ing. Thal community dues an
irreparable injury to its boys and
girls which Tails to make a provi
sion for the cultivation and-to a
small extent at least-the gratifi
cation ot such a desire. In sea
son and out, tho maxim, "make
yourself familiar with the best
writers" should bo inculcated.
Here is the plan which the wri
ter has known to bo adopt i'd and
which has worked admirably : Get
every man woman and child inter
ested iu the scheme of establish
ing a library in their school.
When sufficiently interested tell
them "to show their faith by their
works;" that is, get everyone lu
make the school a present of a
book; does'nt matter what kind,
nor on which subject it may treat.
Inscribe the name of the donor on
the fly-leaf, nu m bor it and place
it on the shel ves. lu an incredi
bly abort time the nucleus will he
found. Have a small library frei-,
say ten cents ? year, for the priv
ilege of u>ing the books, allowing
no book to be kept out more than
two weeks. Not only will the pu
pils gladly pay so small a sum for,
to them, so great u privilege, but
many of the patrons and others
who are not direcJy interested in
the school will pay the fee that
they may have access to this small
store house of knowledge. In ad
dition to this arrange occasionally
for an entertainment in the na
ture of a play or concert, have a
small admission fee, the smaller
the better say five cents, letting it
be understood that the proceeds
are for tho benefit of the school
library. Wi tb these funds new
books of a choice kind can be add
ed, and while the growth may be
slow yet in a year or two a hun
dred or more volumes will fill a
space on the school room wall so
long occupied by vacancy. The
management of the library can be
left to the teacher. The establish
ing of it will undoubtedly depend
on his efforts. Parents, patrons,
money thus invested will pay a
thousand fold!
God speed the day when every
school in this Southland can boast
of a library however small it may
be ! Qui legit regit.

Most Delightful-Lecture
MAJ. JAMES T. BACON OX "AX OLD
MAX'S KRANICY KALEIDOSCOPE."
Aiken, S. C., Feb. 2.-Maj. James T.
Bacon, ut' Edgefield, delivered Lis lec
ture, " in Old Man's Kron ky Kalaide
sccpe,nat the Institute Hall last night
to an audience which, though small on
account nf the weather, was both culti
vated and appreciative. And the lec
ture! 'Tis a series of reminiscences of
Southern life from 1S45 to 1S95. 'Tis a
fund of humor and a depth ol' pathos.
I wish that every man north of Mason
and Dixon's line, who thinks the
slaves were ill-treated "befo de war"
could have heard the touching tribute
Major Bacon paid to the old 'mammy ;'
could have heard his description ot
nis death-bed scene, when the venera
ble mistress herself was there and
prayed to Cod to "have mercy ou the
soul of ber faithful Rachael." 1 wish
every young Southern man aud.South
ern woman could have heard the lec
ture; 'twould make them venerate
more than ever the gallant chivalry of
our fathers and grand-fathers, aud
make them strive lo emulate their
courteous manliness, and the sweet
pure woman hood of our sainted moth
ers. And the major's humor was as
subtle and as spontaneous as was his
pathos sad. His description ol' a bal!
who could have described a bali as he
did save Major Bacon ! And who could
help laughing at his description ol
"the stalely woman who tried to keep
her chin oil' the little man's head," and
"the little woman who tried to keep
her face out ol' the tall man's sleeve !"
And the contrast Major Bacon drew
between that old jewel ol' a black cook,
"Ca'line," and the "Mrs. Ariminta
Georgiana Washington" who conde
scends to "try you lady for three
days," as cook, in this year of grace
1S?5.
There is a peculiar charin in the soft
ness of his voice which at once capti
vates and holds one; aud his chann
ing word pictures ofcthe days now
gone, make all wish they could havs
Jived tben,_j?hileJiis-hurr''" - ii%-?'-^

Thc Tariff Reduction a Reality.
The*Tariff reduction on a great
many woolleu goods went into ef
fect the first of January, and we
propose to be up with the times,
and to give our friends the full
benefit of this reduction. We have
decided to sell our immense stock
of gents', boys', and children's
ready made clothing at a discount
of 20 per cent. These goods were
bought in September upon the
very best terms and marked in
plain figures at a low price, and
now you can get 20 per cent off
from the price. A suit that sold
for $15 will now be $12. A suit
that sold for $6 will now bo $4.80.
This is a very plain way for our
customers to see the tariff reduc
tion and we hope all will give us a
call at once.
