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,

The monotony of our usually quiet

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.

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.
