he will have for sale candy, water
melons, persimmon beer, corn beer,
pies and things, and "cake trumpery."
A Terrible Accident.
As the rock train on the Cumberland
Gap road was running in rear of Mr?
0. 0. Burnett's residence:! mile and a
half from town, this, Tuesday morning,
the engine jumped the track turned
over on its side and crushed to death
ti reman Weatherford, severely scalded
engineer Dick Parker and brakeman
W. ll. Cherry and severely injured
Wallace Holloway, colored.
Mr. Frank Tompkins, win? was on
board at the time, was slightly injured
by jumping from the train. He was
looking out in front of the engine at
the time of the accident and says that
he saw a number of spikes on the rails
and knowing that the engine would
leave the track made the leap intime
to save himself.
Mr. Parker lies at his own home in
our town suffering excruciating ago
nies from the severe scalding received.
Mr. W. ll. Cherry is at the Sims Ho

We hear also that a negro named
Albert Brimson was killed.

Mr. George '.V.Timmerman, a young
gentleman nf Edgefield descent if not

hard till late at night. The Augusta
Evening News says of him :
"Recently there was a compel ive ex
amination for the West Point acade
my appointment. Young Timmer
man, without saying a word to his
family or friends, secured a furlough
from the cotton mill, jumped on a train
and (Mitered the competition for the

meet such an array of competitors
however-young men from the leading
institutions ol'learning in the Soutli.
Nothing daunted he eetered the con
test and when he returned to his home
he had with him testimony that he
bad von the appointment. 'Vi m mer

CORRESPONDENCE
Logic ami Philippic Seinphi-oni
cus Replies to Pedagogue.
EDITOR ADVEHTISEI? : My -10year
old friend P?dagogue certainly has
some novel notions on higher edu
cation. His "simlin head" has
managed to get filled with some
of the queerest, quaintest ideas as
to the school system that ever
exercised a human being. Like
Don Quixote, a few weeks ago he
saled forth on his flea-bitten gray
and attacked a wind-mill in the
shape of the special district. Ho
met a valiant knight, Mr. Crouch
who battered up this same "sim
lin head," drove him in a hum
away from this wind-mill and put
him to flight. This "40 year old,
simlin headed "Pedagogue never
raised his hand to right in the
whole affray. After the pangs of
defeat and failure had about died
out, this 19th century Don Quixote
essayed his hand on the question
of reading the Bible in the public
schools. Being called to account
by one not much over 21 years of
age, he turns his seamed cadaver
ous face to one sid'1 and snarls:
' A mau has not got good sense till
he is forty years old." Why bless
your life man this has heen the
cry[of the old fogy and ragged out
old wreck of a man ever since Sa
tan was foui.d "flaming head
long" from the realms of bliss.
Mr. Crouch (who will please par
don me for using his name in this
connection) is not yet forty, yet he
cleaned up Pedagogue "hoof and
hom;" if this promising son of
Saluda cornos under Pedagogue's
sweeping assertions, what shall we
say of the mental capacity of one
whom Mr. Crouch so completely
used up! I will answer this taunt
of Pedagogue's by a noble outburst
from Mr. Pitt in reply to a sneer
from Walpole: "The atrocious
crime of being a youngman, which
the honorable gentleman has
charged upon me, I shall neither
attempt to palliate nor deny ; but
co?tent myself with hoping that 1
may be one of those whose follies
cease with their youth, and not of
that number who are ignorant in
spite of experience. Whether youth
can be imputed to a mau as a re
proach I will not assume the pro
vince of determining; but surely
age may become justly contempti
ble, if the opportunities.which it
briugs have passed away without
improvement, and vice appears to
prevail when the. passions have
subsided. The wretch, who after
having seen the consequences of a
thousand errors, continues still to
blunder, and whose age has only
added obstinacy to stupidity, is
surely the object either of abhor
ence or contempt, and deserves not
that his gray hairs should secure
bim from insult."
"Not able to discriminate be
tween public and private schools."
ls there any essential difference
between these two kinds of schools,
save that one is kept up by taxa
tion and one is not? Ought not
the same general methods of in
struction be pursued? Would not
a hook hurtful to oue be hurtful
to the oilier also? Pedagogue lays
down some strange doctrine about
sectarianism (his pet wjrd) in
colleges. This in itself is enough
to show that he does'nt know what
he's talking iibout. He says if he
sent his son to a college supported
by a particular denomination, he
would expect his son to be chang
ed into the belief of that church.
He would be sadly disappointed.
Our colleges in this State do not
instil the doctrines of their
churches into their students, and
I am surprised at auy man being
foolish enough to think so. lt
would soon break down their local
patronage. No; The Bible is taught
at Newberry, Wofford, etc., and a
Baptist can go to Newberry or
Wofford, study the Bible four
years and be as good Baptist at the
end of that time as he was a!; first.
I know whereof I speak. Sectarian
influence is carefully avoided by
the faculty of Newberry College at
least, members of the faculty on
Bometimes Baptists or Method i dB,
? suppose thc same is tru-3 of other
colleges.
Pedagogue wilfully misrepre
sents nie in another place, when
he intimates that I said only those
who pay tax should send to school.
I said no such thing. My state
ment was nearly this: Som?: one
might say th?t if the Bible were
read ii) the ouldie schools that
thw would be an injustice to the
Chinese who didn't believe the Bi
ble yet who had children to edu
cate I met. this argumei.t by
saying the Chinese paid no tax to
keep up the schools, h^nce tn
right uf his would be infringed by
teaching the Bible ; for he could
claim none of the money as a
right but as a bounty. I 'said not
a word about non-taxpayers not
getting part, of the funds, but
beggar's must'nt bo choosers." I
defy any man to lind fault with
thi? on moral grounds. If Chris
tian people keep up the Bchools,
they certainly ought not to ignore
the "Rock of their faith," in train
ing their children. AK to the state
ment thal reading a few verses ev
ery morning produces sectarianism
every one who considers the ques
tion honestly knows it to lie the
merest rot. Have the different
denominations of Christians no
common ground? Do they not fre

biblical points in a brotherly man
lier? Was not the very Bible eve
ry denomii ation uses translated
by Church of England men? yet
are we compelled by 'his fact tn '
accept their particular tenets? '
Does not the Y. M. C. A. teach and I
explain the Bible? Yet its members
are from all churches, and nobody
is lead away from the "faith of
his fathers'' thereby. That there
is such ?1 thing as a non-sectarian
teaching of the Bible no one but a
fool disputes. Pastors of different
denominations exchange pulpits,
yet no church doctrine is assailed.
There is such a thing as an inter
denominational Sunday school
committee, who select certain ver
ses from the Bible to be the lesson of
every Sunda y school'scholar in Amer
icu, and no one imbibes sectarian
ism. Every Christian church ac
cepts these without comment. If
all this can be done without harm
ing anyone, how can anybody ob
ject to a pious teacher reading a
few verses, closing his Bible, and
lifting his voice in prayer. I soy
if everything above can be done
without producing sectarianism,
no sensible man can si.y that, this
simple act of reading and praying
will produce it.
Pedagogue wishes to discard the
Bible in our schools, but wishes
to give them moral training from
text books and Moral Philosophy.
How many public schoolB teach
Moral Phiioshopy? This is a study
which in every college catalogue 1
have ever semi is down for the
Senior Class. Talking about puz
zling a poor little barefooted school
ohild with ethical studies that are
difficult to an educated man. Yet
the schools should provide moral
training for these same children.
We know that all of our system
of morals is derived from and bas
ed on the Bible. Pedagogue's text
books and Moral Phiioshopy are
ultimately derived from the Bible.
Now here is Pedagogue willing to
teach the truths of the Bible as
they are set forth by men who
writ?; these text books, willing tc
accept Bible principles as they
come 'through the perverted un
derstandings of men, but not will
ing to teach these same truths as
laid down bj .God himself! May
not these text book writers be bit
ter S9ctarians themselves? If they
are Christian men they of necessi
ty belong to some sect; hence to
keep Pedagogue's sectarianism out
of the schools, the text books must
be written by au unchristian man !
Let's notice the position of two
characteristic European countries
on this question. Scotland for
the last two centuries has taught
the Bible in ber public schools.
Every little Scotch bairn from the
Tweeds to John O'Groats can be
seen in the morning hurrying
"o'er the brae'' with his Psalter in
his hand. What sons can old
Scotland proudly claim for her
own! Livingstone on the burning
plains of Africa; Brougham in
the English Parliament; Burns
and Scott, who sang of the heroic
deeds witnessed by Scotland's
heathery hills. It is this Bible
training and influence of the pub
lic schools that has made the name
of Scotchman synonymous with
bravery, intelligence, and virtue in
every clime. France on the other
hand mocked at Bible study in
schools. The French, like Peda
gogue, were clamorous for "politi
cal and religious freedom," taught
their children "the difference be
iween meum ct tuum" from tnxt
books and Moral Philosophy.
What was the n suit? the chil
dren didn't distinguish very clear
ly "between meum ct team:" paid
very little heed to a system of mor
als drawn from sceptical writers,
who taught that one ought to be
good for policy's sake ; looseness
of morale, debauchery, Revolu
tion "followed fast and followed
faster." Reader look at the aver
age Frenchman and Scotchman to
day and draw your own conclu
sions. Which do you prefer Scotch
sectarianism or French infidelity?
If in our own country, we don't
put the Bible into our public
schools, we leave the way open for
the Devil to enter them; we invite
him by our neutrality.
But the most uncalled for, most
absurd, most inexcusable asser
tion that Pedagogue ever uttered ie
the idea of debaring Christian
ministers tbe privilege of teach
ing our children. Fifty ''excla
mation points" could not express
my disgust of such a statement.
"Consistency thou art a Jewel."
Pedagogue has just been ranting
about every one's having an equal
right to the public schools, and in
the next breath wants to bar a par
ticular class-the Ministers of God
from participating in thom by be
coming teachers. Does this sound
like political liberty? Suppose a
pious pr? aoher whose whole time
is not taken up in pastoral work
and whose meager salary is insuf
ficient to support his family,"h-s
the offer of a school, must the sim
ple fact that he is a "fisher of men"
be a bar to his getting the position
he so sorely needs? Following out
this line of reasoning; if minis
ters are to be excluded on account
of any sectarian inlluences they
might bring to beac upon the pu
pils, would nota pious layman be
subject to the same objection? and
tho only way out of the matter,
would be to employ a man who did
not belong to any church and who
had no predi.ections toward any
Church, an infidel. Here is where
Pedagogue's whole course of rea
soning leads: 1st, he banishes tho
Bible from the public schools,
2nd, he bars the preacher out to
seep them from building up the
interests of any particular church,
3rd, a zealous layman will be as
ardent in building up his church
?is a minister Ilene?1, to be consis
tent, Pedagogue must, banish him
IIBO; ior beiug a church member,
he would likely look out for his
awn sect. 4th. this leaves to our
friend only the ungodly and infi
IPISto choose his teachers from!
,\nv sensible man knows that
Tnmtinglthe first and 2nd, that
he 3rd ajid 4'h are legitimate con
clusions*
Pedagogue further says: "I was
sophomorical once etc." They al
ways told me that "the child is
father of the man," and a sopho
morical-child or boy can only be
get a so,)homorical (sophor, wise
- moron, foo!) man.
"Blows to take as well as blows
to give." I make no "personal
threats" or "undue critiscims" but
gtand up for what I believe to be
right regardless of any blows Ped
agogue may be able to strike. If
my friend will take a friend's ad
vice he will stop this abusing of
lime honored thing?. Another fa
mous author pays this soul-touch
ing tribute to my friend Peda
gogue :
He was in logic a great critic,
Profoundly skilled in analytic.
He could distingush and divide
A hair 'twixt south and south-west
side;
On either which he would dispute,
Confute, change hands and still con
fute.
He'd undertake to prove by forc^
Of argument a man's no horse;
He'd prove a buzzard is no fowl.
And that a lord may be an owl :
He'd spy a chigger on a frog
