Balmy Spring?School Entertainment. ? To the Editor of theD.'spatch. The warm b;_lmy days have come and all nature seems to rejoice at the approach of spriDg. It is indeed pleasant to stroll out on these beautiful spring mornings and behold the | fresh tinted flowers which have been painted by the rays of the sun, and i to hear the songs of the beautiful birds as they skip from tree to tree warbling their melodious lays of j love and friendship, .welcoming the approach of spring once more. In-1 deed it is grand and inspiring to j stroll out in the afternoon, as Sol is . descending behind the western hori- j zon, shedding his last, faint, golden rays on mother eaith, telling us to i prepare for the night's repose. All this brings to our memor}' that our ! life is a day and that we have a work to do. The public schools throughout our j community have been in progress since last November. For the past three or four weeks several have out and gone into spring quarters, i About three weeks ago the school at Boynton academy taught by Mr. : Tyrone Sturkie came to a finis. During the same week Mr. Reister j closed his at Sharpe's Hill. Miss Gertrude Geiger, who is an Gaston, under the tutorage of Miss Belle Martin, has stopped also. But the one that I have under consideration Mr. Editor is that one at Athens, ! taught by Mr. W. B Fallaw. This j school has been in successful operation ever since last July. Mr. Fallaw, is a model young man, a j Christian gentleman and a wide iwake teacher. He graduated attheLeesville college in '92, and entered Furman University in the fall of '93. ^ - ? ~ -3 ooccmn XVt 1X1 ttiiitU IJLi JL Ujl LUUU UUV/ wvuvavm and went b^ck home last June and ! took the school for the time during his vacation. But long before the time had expired the trustees and j patrons secured his services for eight months. He worked faithfully and diligently and built up a first class school. This has registered one ; hundred and four during tne eigni months session. The work of this school closed out on the oth instant, and the closing exercises took place on the 6th following. The .program was very artistically and tastefully arranged for the occasipn, the details of which will be impossible to give in this brief notice. On the appointed time and according to previous arrangments the school met at the church near the school house and formed a line of two columns deep and marched up the public road and down a private one accompanied with music appropriate for the occasion. The choir then joined in singing "Work for Jesus". The program was successfully carried out, which was highly ! instructive and entertaining. Music was furnished by lccal talent wbicb was melodious and grand. Mr. Perry Goodwin was organist, assisted by ethers. The exercises of the school being over, the invited speakers for the occasion were called for. But owing to some necessary business which they had to attend to, they failed to put in an appearance. The prizes and the treat was . next delivered the students. The successi ful contestants were: Class No. 1, | Master Clarence C. Craft. Class No. { 2, Miss Lillie I. Fallaw. Clas3 No. j 3, Miss Miss Maggie Harsoy. After a handsome treat had been i delivered to each student, Mr. Fal- j law came forward with some very appropriate remarks, saying: ';These exercises have been carried on by the school all together, but now we have come to that part of our program in which we can all take a part. Net only the school boy and girl, but the youDg lover with her beau, the old bachelor with the old maid, the widower and the widow. AVe have a goodly number of cakes brought ! here by the friends and patrons, and J everybody get a partner and win a cake.'' This was a very enjoyable exercise, and after walking for sometime, the cakes were distributed among the large crowd which had assembled. All partook and seemed to be dissatisfied and enjoyed the occasion. The crowd was then thanked very kindly by the teacher, who expressed a hope that all had enjoyed the occasion, and in response came many echoes "We certainly have en joyed it." The trustees and patrons expressed their desire to have Mr. Fallaw promise them that he would teach another school for them at Athens. I will just say, Mr. Editor, that this was a pleasant and enjoyable occasion. It did credit to both teacher and student. The patrons and trustees were surely fortunatejn securing the services of such a teacher.- With such teachers in our primary schools the future welfare of our country is invi table. The students have made much advancement in their mental training. "While mental part of the student has been developed, the spiritual part has not been neglected. I am glad to know, Mr. Editor, that this subject of morals in the common schools has taken hold on the parents to a certain extent. The parents and friends of the students are beginning to realize that the mental part developed and cultivated and the other neglected, that man or woman's life is a failure. I long to see the day, Mr. Editor, that the rooms in our common schools will be occupied by Christian young men and women. May each one of us realize the fact that life means something and live accordingly. We Hope that the mental development and the moral training that the student has received in this school may have a lasting influence and do good. May those students who have been entrusted to the care of Mr. Fa$&w:s guidance wield their influence for the good and the right. One Who Was Thebe.

The Value of Prayer. The value of prayer net often is fUedin dollars and cents, but a Texas farmer is credited with such an operation. The story is told by Rev. S. H. Thrall, one cf the pioneers of Methodism in Texas. I", company with a number of itinerants who were on their way to conference, Dr. Thrall stopped to spend the night with an old farmer. It was the custom then to settle the bill at night, so that they might rise at 3 o'clock and ride a good way before breakfast, and lie by in the heat of the "l - tv . n i 11 _ -1: 1 uay. jlt. 1 uraii acinig as spumesman of the party, said to tbe old farmer after supper: "We are a company of Methodist preachers going t) conference. If you will get the family together we will have prayers with you." After prayers cue by one settled his bill. Dr. Thrall's turn came, and he asked for his bil'. The old farmer replied: "Well, pa'son, I charged tbe rest 25 cents, but bein' as you prayed for us so good, I won't charge you but 20 cents." The brethren had the laugh on Dr. Thrall for offering up only a five cent prayer.

I will commence with the Egyptain and Assgrain kingdoms till the downfall of the Roman Empire. I will notice the different kingdoms, their rise, fall and causes from the inspired writings. Will examine Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream. The explanation which Daniel gave to the king of Babylon and ? ! rue ainerent governments wmuu Daniel said would rise and be destroyed till the Roman; in the midst of whose kings the Christ was to be born. God's objects in these different governments and the causes of i their overthrow will be considered. We will see how God used Cyrus and Alexander and Caesar to fnrther his purposes, while the they thought they were furthering their own interests all the way through. We will see that Alexander's career was marked out hundred of years before his birth and so with Caesar and Cyrus. We will see how the Greek was used as lawgiver and educator. How the Jew was used in his wonderful history and what a great part he has played in the world's history in all these kingdoms. A steady step towards a preparation for the Christ the Savior was all the time ahead and the world's advancement to receive the law of morality, virtue and religion.

Your druggist sells it in powder or liquid; the powder to be JUaken dry, Calhoun on Money. j i Paper Currency in Many Respects * Superior to Metal. 1 < { Iu view of the fact that the money ( power is concentrating all its ener- < gies to secure the destruction of the < greenbacks, it may be well to read the following extracts from a speech j of John C. Calhoun of South Caro- ' lina, delivered in the United States j Senate during the panic of '37-38: ] uWe are told there is no instance < of a government paper that did not depreciate. In reply I affirm that ; there is none, assuming the form I that I propose, that ever did deprc- ; ciate. Whenever a paper receivable i in the dues of a government had any- 1 thing like a fair trial it has sue- ] ceeded." I ' It is, then, my impression that in j j the present condition of the world, a < ? rv\ a f rvt?TY? 1 O ol_ paper currency m oumc mu ^ i most indispensable in financial and 1 commercial operations of civilized and < extensive communities. In many respects it has a vast superiority over metallic currency; especially in great and extensive transactions?by its greater cheapness, lightness and the facility of determining the amount. It may throw some light on this subject to state that North Carolina, just after the revolution, issued a large amount of paper. It was also made a legal tender, but which of course was not made obligatory after the adoption of the federal constitution. A large amount?say between $100,000 and $500,000?remained in circulation after that period, and continued to circulate for more than twenty years, at par with gold and silver, with no other advantage than lvHnrr in the revenue of the a vvv* i - ? ? state which was much less than $100,000 per annum. ' No one can .doubt that the government credit is better than that of auy bank, more reliable, more safe. Why, then, should it mix up with the less perfect credit of these institutions? Why not use its own credit to the amount of its own transjptions? Why should it not be safe in fts own slitutions, scatterec^HBBii^^Kum try, and which have no other object but their own private benefit, to increase which they extend their business to the most dangerous extremes? And why should the community be compelled to give G per cent discount for the government credit, blended with that of the bank, when the superior credit of the government could be furnished separately without dis L'UUIit) IU tliC mutual auiauta^w ua the government and the community. "But whatever may be the amount that can be circulated I hold it clear that to that amount it would be as staple in value as gold and silver itself, provided the government be bound to receive it exclusively with these metals in all its dues, and that it be left perfectly optional with those who have claims on the governi ment to receive it or not." | "We are told," he stated later on, | "the form I suggested is but a repe| tition of the 'old continental money,' ; a ghost that is ever conjured up all | who wish to give the banks and exI elusive monopoly of government | credit. There is not the least analogy between them. The one is a promise to pay when there is no revenue: and the other a promise to receive, in the dues of the government, i when there is abundant revenue/' i . . ^ ^ ^ !

Sorghum Ssad. | As a rule farmers do not take pains j i to save the largest and best heads of ' j sorghum for seed, and are not carej ful to plant each kind bj itself. One I reason of this is that many depend ; j on getting their seed from their | j neighbors and are glad to get any j kind that they can, here a little and i there a little, and very often get j very inferior seed. To get the largj est and best seed, sorghum should j ; be planted in four feet rows and two J j feet in the row, tbin to one to two I I stalks in a hill, then hoe twice and ; ! plow three times, and you will have j | a crop that will surprise you. Honey Drops and Orange are per- j J haps the best varieties that are raised, j They are very much alike; the former ! it is claimed, makes the best syrup ! and the latter the most of it. Iledj top makes the most seed, but does j not make as good feed for scock. ! Sorghum seed for feeding is worth ibout twice as much as com, bushel tor bushel, and land that will make ;wenty bushels of corn per acre will make from forty to fifty bushels of 3orghum seed, with same manure ard cultivation. Sorghum will stand a lrouth much better than corn and will make a good crop when it is so 3ry that corn will be nearly a failure. Do not waste land and time planting oilo maize, Jerusalen com, etc. rhere are none of them half as good is sorghum for feed, and you cannot make molassess from them, it is worse than nonsense to plant them. A word or two about making up pour sorghum may not be amiss. In the first place, do not cut it too green and in giinding always have from 30 to 100 gallons of juice ahead, so that it has a chance t6 settle. Put lime water in the juice to neutralize the acid. Let the juice boil slowly, and then if flavored with vanilla or other flavoring extracts that may suit your taste, you will find that the ['long svteetnin'" is not so bad.?C. C. L.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama, thinks the present exodus of negroes from the South to Africa will increase rapidly in proportions, and he believes that the time will soon come when the government of the United States will take the matter up officially and aid in their deportation. "Africa," he said, is discussing the question, "is the natural home of the negro, and a majority of them desire to return to that country. They can not be blamed for entertaining that wish, for there is nothing in this or any other white man's country for the African race. Sufficient time has elapsed since the slaves were emancipated to demonstrate the white man's superiority in all walks than servants." Senator. Morgan also asserted that a large majority of the white population in the South would prefer to have the negroes go ''It is certain," he said, "that many oH&e planters, the owners of large ps? cations, prefer to have them re" u-.au, for the reason that they favor their labor in comparison with a ccrfoin nf whitAQ hnt this plAmpnt is in the minority, and the poorer whites and the professional classes in South prefer to have the negroes sent away. The poor man does not want his competition, and all classes object to negro equality in political affairs, as all feel that they stand directly in the way of securing a more desirable class of residents, by preventing immigration. Furthermore, if i? rwif frnp. as sppms to he sun posed, that only negroes can do the labor in the Southern States, an assertion which is substantiated by the fact that the cotton crop of this country has increased from a little over 3,G00,000 before the war to 9,000,000/' The Senator expressed the opinion that Congress would take the problem of exporting the negro in hand at no distant day, and said that ?vithin the next three or four years !

The backward child may indeed be f| deficient in application, not in capa- W sity. Should this be so, arouse him, ^ not by a hail storm of nagging or a downpour of fault finding, but by a . system of rewards lovingly adapted A to his disposition and character. JH Suffer no discouragement to creep fg into your heart concerningjnm, and JS not allow him or her to feel that |ffl there is reason for any doubt about the reaching the top o^ ihe ladder in due season. The top, mind, not ai the middle rounds; any one cen JS reach these. Set a definite aim be- ? -AS fore your child, cultivate a high and noble ideal, but be willing to climb i slowly. Haste is at the root of many a 'silure, haste begets a lack of thoroughness as one goes on. With a tender regret for lost opportunities, who has not sometimes seen a mature woman timid, self-coi scious, handicapped from youth to gray hairs simply because she was a "backward" child once, and therefore was snubbed and ridiculed, and pushed into the background, while ! her sisters and brothers bore off the i honors and were the objects of uni- 1 versal estimation?

"Oh, did I tell you about the way we settled ail elegant admirer who ?j sat opposite us in the street cart" asked one of a group of girls who Jgflj were eating ices in a Woodward SH avenue cafe. "No, never; do let us hear it," was jfljB the interested answer. -?JHfi "There weie Jessie, Grace and myself, and he sat on the opposite seat and tried to hypnotize us." v a "What did he dot" '"Just stared at us witho^a parexr/re8sio^j^M|^B||httj^3BWBH Tnought OT^^fcame thing at cn^B|Qp9H Jessie and l"-^l clear case of mind fi waves, wasn't it?and we just looked w at bis feet." B "Well, what good did that do?" "Why, don't you know, girls, you can always embarrass a man by looking at his feet. And we stared and stared, and be began to fidget and tried to tuck them under the seat of the car, and then he couldn't bear it a minute longer, and he rushed out of the car, and were saved." "We'll remember the remedy," said the girls, as they finished their cream, "the very next time any iii^yg?ir ninii^^ stares at us." || And they will find that it works 1 like a charm every time. 1 The Age for Marrying. -1 Chicago Rec ord. "If things keep on this way we won't have aDy grandfathers and grandmothers in fifty years,'' observed a man who had been running his eyes along the list of "marriage licenses." "Look here, in this list of thirtyfour licenses, all but two of the men are more than 22 years old, and all but two of the women are above 18. It would seem that the average age of a groom these days is 30, while the bride is but two or three years younger.'' He ran over the ages and found that the average age of the groom . was 28 and of the bride 27. ' "Now, what does that mean?" he ^ continued. "A man does not marry ^ until he is 30. If he has sons and daughters they will not reach the marrying age until he is at least 60, and if he hopes to see his grandchildren grow up he must live until he is at least 80 or 50. , *'In the country where I was born people married youDg, and it wasn't uncommon to have grandmothers who were less than 40 years old. But if 30 is to be the marrying age in Chicago we will at least have to get along without great-grandmoth Spartanburg county has 14,941 pupils attending public schools, of which number 9,01-4 are whites, and 5,327 colored.
