For tho L?-xiu?tou Dispatch.
To the Educational Public.
Iu order that there may be no mis
understanding I will reiterate what I
published in the s; ring, as our annual
examination for te?chers in the free
public schools of Lexington county
will soon take place as provided for bv
law. Believing that there were teachers
in the county who were grossly incompetent,
holding first grade certificates,
who were lowering the educational
standard and retarding the intellectual
advancement of the children.
. the County Board of Examiners for
^ * said county, on April 8th, 1889, passed
> the following resolutions, which will be
- ./ rigidly observed :
'-W ' Resolved, That the County Board
^ of Examiners for Lexington county
tT recommend to the District Boards of
^ Trustees that the salaries of teachers
- i| the free public schools be raised to
forty dollars per month for first grade
and thirty dollars for second ; third to
remain twenty dollars and licenses fifteen
; provided that this advance shall
only apply to those certificates dated
on and after April the 5th, 1889.
2nd. That this Board w ill grant no
licenses to t< ach in the tree public
schools of said county where the applicant
does not appear and stand the
examination in accordance with a reso- j
lution passed by the State Board providing
for such licenses.
I desire also to call the attention of ,
the trustees to Section 1,005 of the
General Statutes, which reads: "No
teacher shall be employed in any of
the free public schools without a certi- i
ficate from the County Board of Exam- 1
iners or the State Board of Examiners
; Provided, That. no examination
as to qualification shall be made in the
- cjse of any applicant who produces a
diploma from anv chartered college or
university in thisS.ate certifying to the
proficiency of such ^person in the
branches of learning referred to in his
application, and satisfactory evidence
of crnnd moral character."
ot
It is necessaryjor any teacher who
desires to draw upon the school fund of
this county to- enter into a contract
with the trustees of the school district
in which he or she desires to teach before
commencing to teach ; such contract
to be recorded in the trustees'
record boi/k, which b-.ok I will furnish
the trustees of each district in this
county And it wilt also be necessary
for the teachers to keep correct registers,
which books I will also furnish for
the teachers, to be returned to the
^ trustees at the close of the public
school term. The teachers \*;ii present,
at the close of each school month,
a certified monthly report to the Clerk
of the Board of Trustees, which, if
satisfactory, he will attest and draw a
warrant, in duplicate form, on the
County Treasurer, and if said warrant
is countersigned by the County School
Commissioner, it shall be paid out of
the school fund of the district in which
the services were rendered.
The teachers will please to bear in
mind that this office will expect in the
future a strict compliance with the foregoing
rules of law.
My object is to elevate the standard
of the profession in the county, and iu
the true s^jrit of the law, promote publicly
aad-unprejudiciously the general
educational interest of the children ;
and to the end that trustees will co-operate
with me in ^executing t^e law
and bringing about this much needed
refoYm, ;
School Com'r Lexington county.

Caution to Mothers.
Every mother is cautioned against
giving her child laudanum or paregoric ;
it creates an unnatural craving for stimulants
which kills the mind or the
child. Acker's Baby Soother is specially
prepared to benefit children and
cure their pains, ft is harmless and
contains no Opium or# Morphine, j

Papa's Reply.
Yes, dear Daughter, I will admit that
the "shafts of ridicule are dangerous
weapons," but, nevertheless, I must
contend that it is the motive that
prompts a man to do a thing that
makes it evil. We must treat this
young generation somewhat as the old
man in Webster's Blue Back Speller
did the voung rascal that he caught
stealing his apples?try mild means
t aud when that fails, cast a few stones.
Often they will curse us, but it will
bring them down every time. If we
do not rule them they will "boss" us
around, and it will not do to let them
go to destruction without having the
rod of correction laid on occasionally.
We must try to "teach them on which
side their bread is buttered." or some
of the responsibility may rest on us.
It may do some good, anyho.v, for "the
rod and reproof give wisdom ; but a
child left to himself bringeth his
mother to shame "
Old Mother Eve's blood?that almost
irresistible desire for the forbidden
fruity and the neglect of proper
training together, lie at the very bottom
of immorality and degredation.
Many have been baptised in infancy
and taught that this has taken the
place of regeneration, and they imagine
* that all that is now necessary to their
< - 5- 1 - ... J
saiva'.IOU IS regiuar aucuuautc ai ,
church and a constant repetition of the j
Apostles' creed. They seem to think !
that civilization and education have i
done away with regeneration, and that ;
they can now be saved without bearing
* the ci'oss of Christ. It is now too bur- j
denSome to be borne, and altogether j
unnecessary. It shuts fhetn off from ;
some of the vain and fascinating !
pleasures of the world, and they have
summed up the law of Cod and found
4 that he never intended this. Their !
hearts are evilly inclined and their lips
are ever ready to speak evil. They
are "lovers of pleasure more than
lovers of God," and they imagine that
their desires must be gratified. They
must drink liquor, smoke cigarettes,
dance and do many other wicked acts,
* j ust because they think these things
t nd to keep them on the popular side
of society. They prize social stand- ;
ing far above Christianity. Society is j
the god they are serving, and its swift j
wings will soon launch them in hell.
If our girls would learu to care less
, for fashion and the vanities of society
their sex and "the world would be the
better for it" Too many girls are
like the proud little "Jenny Wren"?
they try to ape some vain and haughty
"canary," and they thus make themselves
fools. They are not satisfied
with a neat and common dress that
would make them just as beautiful as
; nature ever intended them to be. but
i they must be rigged out in all the rtif*
j fles and puckers of modern styles. Our
j mothers tell ns of those good old days
! when they were girls, and that a comj
mon colico dress was good enough
j then,
"But now the test
Is who can best
In silk and diamonds rustle.
Or who reveals
The highest hee's.
Or sports the largest bustle." j
j They must stand before a mirror an
j hour or two each day and curl and
powder, and primp and practise that
they may be more thoroughly qualified
to make what thev call a "mash" on
some brainless dude Many of them.
I when they go to church, or out in soJ
ciety at any other place, cannot we.tr
I this and they cannot wear that, and
they cannot do this and they cannot do
that simply because they say it is not
alamode; but wheo some dude is with
them, and the light in the parlor is
burning low, it is all tete-a-tete. All
this goes to verify the maxim, "All j
that glitters is not gold."
Many of our daughtesrs do not
seem to know that they were made for
usefulness as well as for pleasure. It
was not intended that they should live
like butterflies. God did not place
| them here to sit in an easy chair and
I read novels all day and at night entertain
some young fop with a pack
of cards. He never intended that
they should live for pleasure alone, for
He says, "She that lives in pleasure is
dead while she lives." They are dead
and expensive property on the hands of
their parents, and are not at all fit for
| the wives of any noble hearted gentle'
man. A girl of this stamp would soon
make any man believe that "marriage
is a failue," for the Bible teaches that
"it is better to dwell in the wilderness
than with a contentious and angry wo
man.'
While all this, and even more, is
true of the far sex. I thank God that
there are a few exceptions. There are
a few that are as pure aud noble as
Whittier's "Maud Muller.'* A few that
would not dance, nor read a trashy
novel, nor play a game of cards, nor
touch "the cup that demons quaff/'
nor have anything to do with a young
man who indulges in those evils f r
"* * * The crown the Bourbon lost."
Wherever they are, and whoever they
be they are worth their weight iti gold.
What is to become of our boys?
Shall I sum the matter up and say that
there is nothing too bad for them to
do ! God only knows what is to become
of them ! Their brain is crammed
with wicked thoughts and their
hearts are puffed with sin. They are
always ready for anything in which
there is any enjoyment no matter how
sinful They do not care anything
about Christianity. They have no respect.
for the church and the teachings
of the Bible; but they will condescend
to do anything to keep on the
good side of "sporting society " When
they go to church at all it is for the
sole purpose of having what they call
"fun," and therefore they must have a
little liquor and a few nasty little cigarettes.
They take a "pretty good
drink" and spike their breath with tobacco
smoke, because, they say, "the
girls love to smell it." They are so
silly and no account that they think
that they cannot converse with a young
lady unless they have ajlcmk or two,
and I have that it
does help them Surely
the girls do like it, rq^HWPfkdrink-''

that attracts, but I am sutife there is"
nothing livable about him.v No genuine
yoqng lady will accept the attention
of "a young man whose breath is
highly flavored with the "dark beverage
of hell," but she will turn from
him in perfect disgust, and in her heart
she will ever repeat:
' Tell me I hate Ihe bowl,
Hate is a feeble word:
J loathe, abhor?my very soul
With strong disgust is stirred.
When'er 1 see. or hear, or tell.
Of the DARK BEVERAGE OF HELL."
My dear young ladies, if husbands
you want and husbands you will have,
for God sake do not marry men that
drink liquor. If you do you will destroy
your happiness, and, perhaps,
greatly shorten your days on earth.
Do not look at the ourside of a man
nor his wealth ; but rather view the inside.
Examine carefully his moral
character, and ever bear in mind that
"'tis not the fairest form that holds the
purest soul." Your happiness depends
upon whom you marry, and if you are
careful to get a good husband, though
his poverty is equal to that of the poor
man that begged at the rich man's
gate, your happiness will be complete.
Do not let fine dress, nor a gold watch
and chain, nor a horse and buggy, nor
a whole township of land influence
jou in the least; but marry a man because
he is noble and good and be
cause you love him. There are not
many young men that are good enough
to become the husband of a true lady,
and, therefore, I say, be not deceived,
but get one in whom you are sure there
is

Why does the letter R hold an enviable
position? Because it is never
found in sin, but always in temperance,
industry, virtue and prosperity. It is
the beginning of religion and the end
of war.
Woadorful Edison.
!
He Tells of Yet More Wonderful Things
that He is to Bring Forth.
The reporter of. the Courier des
j KtaU Cuis asked Mr. Edison if, it was
i true that he had invented a machine
! by the aid of which a man in New
York would be able to see everything
his wife was doing in Paris.
'I don't know." said Mr. Edison,
laughing, "that that would be a real
o o?
benefit to humanity. The women certainly
would protest. Hut, speaking
seriously, f am at work i n an invention
which will allow a" man in Wall
street not only to telephone to a friend
in the Central Park, but to see that
friend while he is chatting telephonicallv
with him This invention would
be useful and practical, and I see no
reason why it should not soon become
a real ty, and one of the first things
that I shall do when I get back to
America \vi 1 be to set up this contrivance
between my laboratory and my
telephone workshops Moreover, I
have already obtained satisfactory results
in reproducing.images at this distance.
which is only about one thousand
feet. It would be ridiculous to
dream of seeing anyone between NewYork
and Paris. The round form of
the earth, if there were no other difficulty
in the way, would make the
thing impossible "
Speaking of the phonograph, the
reporter asked if it had reached its
Ivghest degree of perfection
"Almost, I think," said Mr. Edison, .
"in the last instruments turned out c.f
my worksuop. You must know that
the ordinary phonograph employed in
commerce does not begin to compare
with the latest machines that I use in
my private experiments. With the latter
I can obtain sound powerful
enough to reproduce phrases of speech
that can be heard perfectly by a large
audience. My last ameliorations were
with the aspirate sounds, which are the
weak point of the graphophouc. For
seven months I worked from eighteen
to twenty hours io a day on the single
sound 'specia,' and I couldn't make it
say anything else. It was enough to
make rne crazy. Hut I stuck to it until
I succetided, and now )ou can read
a thousand words of a newspaper at
the rate of lf>0 words a minute, and
the instrument will repeat them to you
without an omission You con imagine
the difficulty of the task that I accomplished
when 1 tell you that theimpressions
made upon the cylinder
are not more than one millionth part
of an inch in depth, and are completely
invisible even with a microscope "
Reporter?And what new discoveries
w'll be made in electricity?
Mr. Edison?Ah. that would be difficult
to say. We may some day come
upon one of the great secrets of nature.
I am always on ihe look out for something
tliltt will help me to solve the
problem of navigating the air. I have
worked hard upon this subject, but I
am very much discouraged. We may
find something new before that comes;
but that will come.
Mr. Edison further said that the
great developement of electricity will
come when we find a more economical
way of producing it. During his trip
across the ocean he remained for hours
looking at the waves, and he said it
made him wild when he saw so much
force going to ? \naste. "But sone of
these days, continued, "we will
chain all tlftHhe falls of Niagara its

compelled to wander over gunpowder.
May he scratch a poor man's head

May he never be permitted to kiss a

May every day of his life be more
despotic than the Dey of Algiers.
May 240 nightmares trot quarter

Illiterate Physicians.
Dr. Horatio 0 W ood, of the Pennsylvania
University, comments sharply
on the ignorance of the average American
physician He does not believe
that 20 per cent. of the graduates of
medicine in America could pass the
examination required for a license to
p actice in Germany. Consequently
the American diploma has no meaning.
It is true that some of our M. D's do
not know how to spell very well, and
the grammer they use wMild make a
schoolmistress howl. It is also true
that we are turning them out by thousands
every year, so that there promises
present y to be a doctor to every
ten men. But there is no way to stop
it, no way to elevate the standard of
American medical learning, unless the
different States pass laws fixing a more
extended and thorough school education
before the medical studns are begun.
