Edgefield Advertiser WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 1895. L0GAL2 BREVITIES. WALTER II. BLAND. On Sunday night of this week, after a lingering illness of many'months, our friend Walter Bland entered into 'That house not made with hands, eter nal in the heavens." Mr. Bland had formerly been connected with the Lu theran church, but recently placed his . membership with the Presbyterian church of this place. Abouta year ago? after having prepared himself for a course in music, and expecting to make;himself an artist in that direc tion, he was anticipating in a very short rime a trip to New York where he expected to enter one of the musi cal conservatories. Bul just at that time he developed the symptoms of the illness which cost his life, and the doc tors advised a trip to California. While there one of the residents of our town received a letter from him, in which lie stated his perfect resigna tion and trust in Jesu*. The letter was one of great consolation and grat itication to his friends who read it. After his return from California, he spent some time in our town, as he had made Edeede.d his home for several years previous, and in the merciful and tender goodness of God was spared to visit his many friends and tell them of his Western tour, and show them the souvenirs which it had been sucha pleasure to him to collect. Since his removal to Johnston he gradually grew worse until his illness reached its consummation on Sunday night. But the grave has not won the vic tory, and death had lost its sting;, and though the earthly hopes of his young life have been blasted, yet how mucii more euch mting to his now no longer weane? heart will be the {trains of those ten thousand harps and voices which continually ring their hallelu jahs around the throne of the eterna1 king:, ''for Ue has ioined the mighty chorus in hat brighter better clime.'' And whose is the name that through all the ages of eternity shall be praised and exalted by the hosts of the heaven ly, and the numberless saints of all ages who in harmony meet, "of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues?'" It is the name Jesus, lie is the object of all adoration and homage and ?jrut i j-ude, in that He has said "J.hey shall be mine, in that day when I make up my jewels, and 1 will spare them as a man spareth his own son, lhatservetl him." "Jesus knows thy sorrow Knows thine every care Knows thy deep contrition Hears thy feeblest prayer Do not fear to trust him, Tell him all thy grief Cast on him thy burden Ile will bri nsr relief." There was no preaching in any of our churches last Sunday morning, Always sharp and to the point, Ram sey & Bland's knives. Prosperity makes more fools than adversity does. Call and see the new hats at the Misses Aycock. About 300 people went to Charleston on the excursion train from Edgefield last Friday. New goods in the la.cst styles at the Misses Aycock. The plumes in the helmets of the Ertlich dragoons are made of human hair. A bit of cash, and eager mind; a bargan sure at Ramsey ct Bland's you'll lind. A healthy adult, doing an ordinary amount of work, will require from 10 to 12 ounces of meat a day. Go and buy one of the new fashioned Sailors from the Misses Aycock for 2.)Ct8. A number of our people attended services at Harmony last Sunday morn ing. Others enjoyed the Children's Day programme at Steven's Crek. Miss Essie Fleming of Atlanta who has been in Edget?eld several months, and who has endeared herself to many hearts, has returned home. There were a number of Gdgefield's citizens at the funeral services of Miss Lizzie Bettis at Ebenezer church last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Jim Wood has removed his shoe inending business to Scout Gray's old stables where he will be charmed to see the public. Iii C. A. Long's weather report pub lished last week we made a mistake. It should have been 14.02 inches of rain for 5 months 1S94, instead of 92 inches. The celebrated Mason's fruit jars at J. H.

Bussey will preach at Bethany and Rev. P. P. Blalock at Red Hill. Dr. L. R. Gwaltne-y left on Saturday last for Athens Ga., where he went to preach on Sunday the annual sermon before the graduating class of Lucy Cobb Institute. Mr. Andrew Gardner of the Antioch section, has a bee-hive that sent out this spring four swarms of bees, an other one sent out two. This is an other sign that 1S95 is to be a year of plenty. The younggentlemen of the Edge field Institute gave a lovely leap-frog luncheon in the Academy grove on Friday night last.

The monotony of our usually quiet own was pleasantly interrupted on :ist Thursday afternoon by the peal if sweet marriage bells in north Bun ombe, where at the residence of Mr. .nd Mrs. R. ll. Muns, a number of nends and relatives gathered to wit less the ceremony which joined two ruung lives in the bonds of wedlock. Mr. E. J. Norris and Miss Relie lims were married at G :30 o'clock, Dr. dither G waltuey pastor of our Uap ist church officiating. This wedding ras ?ni ended to be a quiet one, but vhile in one sense it might be said to lave followed this intention, there was [uitt a stir in town, for all were in erested in such an important event in mr social circles, and one concerning o vitally two of our most popular roung people. Miss Belle Mims mown so favorably as one of the most ascitiating and amiable young ladies if E Jgelield, has combined in herself he peculiar graces of an ancestry loted on both sides for their unusual ntelleetuality, only surpassed by their ?obie qualities of heart. There has lever been a bride in Edgetield who las had more of the good wishes and cindly feelings of the community han Mrs. Norris. Mr. E. J. Norris, since his residence n.Edgetield for some years past, has jeen known as one of our most genial ind popular merchants, one of the few 'or whom all had a word of commen tation. Numberless congratulations md encouraging hopes for the future nippiness and success of these young people is the universal acclaim from ill Edgetield. Personal Mention.

CORRESPONDENCE Pedagogue Again. MR. EDITOR: Semphronicus cai say nothing too high in praise oJ the Bible that we are not williup to endorse and defend. We do not abject to but only one thing in his :omrauiiica*'ionl and that is he does not seem to be ablt- to dis criminate between public and pri vate schools and their use of the Bible. We accept his logical de duction with regard to the work ings of sectarianism, and for that reason, we contend that it shoulc be excluded from our public schools. Wh^ii I go to the differ ent churches I feel that I am mi ler their peculiar sectarian infiu juce. if i send my children lc the Sunday schcol I expect for tht tenets of that. particular chu rel to be iustille.t into them. If I send them to Wofford College I expect them to beheld safely anchored tc the doctrines of Methodism. If J mould semi to Furnian Universi ty, I would expect them to be manged to Baptist, and to Newber ry college I would expect them to return home Lutherans. I appeal to any sane man if these thingt ire not true. So far as private in stitut ions are concerned I accord Lo them the highest degree of iibr ?rty. The)' erected those institu tions to build up their respective churches, and th^y would fail in heir designs if sectarian influences lid not prevail. The same result iccnrs in families. A Baptist read md explains it in the interest of j is church, and so will members of ill denominations-. That is the eligious freedom which I prize so lighly. But when it comes to pub ic schools au entirely new con dition confronts us. Semphronicus is entirely mis aken as to the design of the pub ic schools. If only the children ?f those who pay more taxes than hey receive back by way of tui iou our schools would be slimly attended. If he will only make nmo inquiries bo wnnlrl hp til' irised to find that two-thids of the ?eople receive more tuition than he amount of this school tax. iich corporations pay a large per :ent of the taxes in proportion to nembers. Poor people have a muse full of children, and the ich are generally barren on that iue. We are all on the bounty of government to a certain extent. Jut that question has nothing to lo with sectarianism in the public ichools. It is admitted that the :on8tructiou we put upon passages n the Bible at home and at church produces sectarianism, it is ex pected to do it, for there is no ither way to build up the different murches, and its use in our public ?chools will produce the same ef :ect and end in the ruin of the ichool system. As a Methodist I vould read those passages bearing j pon Armenianism, as a Baptist [ would emphasize that part where ie went down into the water and came straight up out of it. Asa Presbyterian I would read Sth ch. [lomans and all the facts bearing apon predestination, and as a Dat hoi ic I would impress those oarts bearing upon the mission given to Peter. If the use of the Bible iu school does not produce sectarianism, why do the Catholics proclaim that if we give them c-ur children uutil they are twelve {rears old we may have them the remainde.rof life? The public schools belong equal ly to all the children, which in cludes all the different denomina tions. Now under the special school district system, weean have but one, and all the children must 50 to that school or none. So far 38 the formation of moral charac ter is concerned the moral law is embodied in our text books and Moral Philosophy leads us to that grand principle that teaches us to distinguish between mewn and timm. I do object to its use in in stitutions of a public character, and in such a way as to build up sectarian interest. No man has more reverence for the devoted man of God than I have, but noth ing is more contemptible than those who use their religion in a professional way to build up theil interest. The chaplain of legisla tive bodies uses the acts of thc politician to secure their positions, though I do not doubt that these bodies need all the prayers th' \ can get. I do not think any amount of such praying will benefit them any especially by professional chaplains. Then take it out?ol the legislature. We will go a steu farther and say, (Semphronicus may use five exclamation points) that I do not think ministers should be permitted to teach ic our public schools. To carryout (he mission of their master I dc not think they should engage 111 any secular calling, and when [hoy do I think they are in it 'or secu lar gains. The t:uth is not al ways palatable, but we have al ways tried to tell it though we have suffered for so doing. Nothing ii moro beautiful than a perfect mor i al character but that which is i favored by pecuniary gain and - sectarianism is like a whitend se pulcher, "beautiful without, but within it is full of rottenness and dead rueu'c bones." Under the j special district plan this question is forcing itself before us for solu I lion, and may God give us wis 3 dom to settle it wisely. 1 am glad to learn that we were long ago immortalized by Gold smith, but wo arc sorry to realize i that we are no better off pecunia - rily than he wa*. It is the expe i rience of old persons that we nev 5 er have good sense until we become forty years old. I was sophomori cal once, like my young friend, and thought when gray hairs ad . vised me they were ignorant old ) moss-backs. I afterwards learned i that it was I, not they, lhai, were j ignorant. In coming )earsSem , phronicus will admit that poor old Pedagogue had some cold hard truths in his little tomlin head. If I know my own heart it is actuated solely for the interest of 1 our school system, I will do all in my power to remove it far away from party or sectarian influences. I know too well that our political i libel ly is wrapped up in our re f ligious liberty. Our fathers fled r from the old world to find lu this a system of government, giving us } the rrghest degree of religious and political liberty. The first they . did was to separate church and . state and incorporated it in the fundamental law, and we should . see that which cannot be done . directly should not be done indi ; rectly ; and this great danger ever I hangs around our public school : svstem. Let us soberly discuss ibis question and not be led away into personal threats or unwar ranted criticism-remembering i there are blows to take as well as > to give. Let us realize that here i there is [ "No pent up Utica to contine our pow ; ers? ' But the whole universe is ours." A wise public school system may yet make South Carolina the Athens of America. PEDAGOGUE. What io Teach in Our Public Schools. This week I shall take up the : first query suggested last week. What shall I teach in my school is a question which baa come to every teacher. There might be volumes written on this question, but we must put what we can in a few paragraphs. In the country we want the ? school to do for the children what 1 is clone for the stone in changing 1 it from the rude quarry rock to a 1 beautiful sculpture, what the ar- 1 tist does for the blank, yes more, ' we want the rude and blank 1 made beautiful and the dormant made active. To know what to teach we must have right concep tions of beauty in character and activity of mind. And we know J that the sculpture never excels ' the ideal, nor will the character i n.,,-1 mi i wi nvMl flin iA~?>! *.P 4 ter which they are formed and ' trained and by which the mind is < inspired. Now let us take Tcnny- ' son's ideal ; he says : 1 "My work shall answer, since 1 know the right and do it; < For a man is not as God. j But then most Godlike being niost a . man." j Then to have right conceptions ? of our ideal we must study God as the sculptor studies the ideal sculp ture or as the artist studies and compares the landscape, lt is not enough to study the ideal only, but as the sculptor studies the nature ? of the stone so we must study the j nature of children. That wa may ( be able to know what helps we j need. Or in other words what we need to teach with. Books, justas , tools and all other aparatus are j not all equal in the accomplish- ? meut of the end for which they . were made. 3 There ha6 been progress made in every department of life, improve ments on all kind of machinery and aparatus, so on school apa ratus the improvements have been I no le6B great. Therefore it is our I dutv to know what books are most correct, which leach ideas and 1 facts most clearly, and which can ! be comprehended by the mind of ' children most easily. All teach- j ers who faii to picture the true ideal in their mind, and who do : not use such books, aparatus, 1 etc., a? will build most rapidly ' rrue character and promote best the activity of the mind are to that extent failures. Hereafter I will give what I think to be the natural order of studies with which I will give the books I think to be best for.teach ing, each of the several grades of the different branches, taught in our common country schools.

The Republican Revival. , Several hundred colored people . attended the meeting at Barn we1! 1 ? on Saturday. S. E. Smith of Aiken, , i mail agent, was the first speaker. ? , He has been a candidate for Con- i ; gress and no doubt expects to be j . again. His speech was along the ? i ine followed by Republican speak- i i ors from '08 to 76. It was too bit ter and extreme for the more thoughtful colored people and i quite a number have not hesitated ; lo say so. They lb ink him large enough to be a mail agent, but do i not consider him to be wiso enough i to give good counsel or go to Con- , gress. i Ex-Congrossman George W. Murray was more popular. Most of his speech waB pretty mild, but . his attack on tin registration law . and Gov. Tillman was particularly - savage. He is evidently acting ; under the tutorship of adroit re. j publicans up North, who have - promised to employ the best legal talent attainable when the regis tration law reaches the United States Supreme Court, even if they cost $10,000. Their plan of battle with regard to future politics is this : They pro pose to organize thoroughly m ev ery township and wait. They say that the greater wealth and intelli gence of the Democrats entitle them to control of affairs, but they will claim minority representation. If that is given them well and good, if not. they will take al^the bur dens on their shoulders and put up their own candidatos. It appears their policy to encourage Demo cratic division and through that gain preseut influence in public affairs and later on complete con trol.-Barnwell People.
