There seems to be good money and a heap of trouble in some doge. Messrs. ft. E. Miller and J. F. Gunter, of our sectioD, took in the excursion last week. They report a , gay old time. Our school at Lewiedale has opened up under the management of Prof. Sidney Derrick. He comes to us well recommended and we will expect much of him. Mrs. L. W. Moak and eon, Columbus, from New Brookland, were in our town lately. Oar handsome Lem Hail and the popular, beautiful, lovely and angelic Miss Arsy Taylor have resisted cupid wiles just as long as they could and now they bow at the altar and become one. May they live long and always be happy as they look now, is the sincere wish of one who writes. Mr. Jake Williams has just put up a molasses mill and now you can get something sweet. Well, I promised to say something to the poor defeated candidates, but I can't find it in my heart to berate them any more, as they are all grow mg over and will be well in a few days. Peace be to their ashes and sympathy to their sorrowing friends. Just think of it fellow votert! Our baby is to be opposed by a black son of a Ham. Come out and stand for the white man and we'll send Frankie back. Two rats killed with a shoe and another baby born. Klondike. Notes from Steadman.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: Again we endeavor to send you a few dottings, would have done so sooner but have been indulging in the toothache for several days and have not cared a cooter if every newspaper man in the State starved to death. Thinfra are mnviror rvlr-vcr t*i fthrmf. o e? ? ? the same oid channel. Mrs. Sim Price and her mother, Mrs. Hallman, leave in the morning for several days visit to friends in Batesburg and vicinity. Mr. E. W. Burnett and wife have just returned from a weeks visit among friends and relatives at Johnson, Mt. Ebal, Batesburg and elsewhere. Mr. Luther Dent, who from causes differently given, snapped the brittle thread of his existence off Monday the 22, at his father's residence, in Columbia, was buried at this place on Wednesday afternoon about G o'clockHis funeral was attended by quite a number of people and was sad indeed. We understand our friend, Mr. Cap Shealy, is to leave us soon and go to Columbia. The family of Mr. Brooks Kelly who left here some time ago and went to Columbia, have returned. Thus it is, as some retire others come forward. The ladies of this place sometime ago gave a festival or two in the U J iL I U I giuve xjeie atiu as a result trie uuuruu is Daw being painted and the aisles carpeted. You know, Mr. Editor, that it is very hard for us to keep off of the school subject, and as it is now nearing the time for our schools to open, we would ask the attention of teachers to one thing especially, viz: The habit of punishing pupiles for failure in recitations. To explain: It is a common thing in a great many schools to find a rule like this: If a 1 pupil shall miss two (or some certain [ number of) words, in his spelling, or a certain number of questions in geography or grammar, or a certain j number of examples or principles in * his mathematics, some punishment is assigned for same. Now, fellow- ^ teachers, do you thiDk this is just? We do not. For oftentimes, especially so, in the rural districts, the time the teacher supposes the child is, or at least should be, studying at home and preparing his exercises for the ( next day, his parent has him at some other work, sometimes really and at | other times only Imagined to be neceesary. Yet the results are the same to the pupil. He does not have 1 the time, consequently his exercises 1 are not ready. Again, there is a vast j i difference in pupils and it is impos- j Bible for a teacher to assign a let-son j 1 suited to every member ot the class. j It will be too large for some and not enough for others. Now shall that pupil who has been more bountifully A U A r?A m ^ U 4 A uicoccu UJ uoiuic, uavo uiuio HgiiLB and privileges than bis seatmate wbo is not so fortunate? We say no, and emphasize if. Now bow are we to do away witb this custom and what will we use in its place? Idle minds are the devil's workshops and idle fingers are hie tools. Keep your pupils busy during school hours and busy during play hours also, and you have the secret of school discipline and government solid. Never, under < any circumstances, punish a pupil < \fl/urn ut i vvnciv iw \ REMEMBER THAT COHE SHOES AT THE L< ollEVT SHOES Am 0EVERY SHOE ?
