Jeter's 'Message; Is one of the longest public docu ments that has been issued since the report of the Committee of Frauds. It is an able document, notwithstanding its length ; it deals boldly and frankly with existing facts ; makes several important re commendations for the action of the Gener& Assembly, and groups together for the use and conven ience of that body a great deal of information on the most important branches of the public service. Col. Jeter is a practical, thinking man, and has filled the office of Governor since Gov. Simpson's re signation with much credit to him self. His Message shows that he has kept his eyes open, is fully up to the demands of the times and has given much thought to public affairs. We regret not being able to print his Message in full ; but it would take up more space than we can possibly spare. We will en deavor to give, however, the salient points of the Message. He congratulates the people on the reforms accomplished vithin the past four years, the reduction of expenses in all the departments of government, the improvements in all branches of industry, and the hopeful aspects of affairs public and private. The success of the Charleston jetties, he thinks, is opening up a new era of prosperity to our State and metropolis. In viiew of the derangement of business, the disorganization of la --bor, and the passions excited by political campaigns, he recommends that our State elections be held once in every four years, and then at a time different from the National election. This change wotdd re quire a Constitutional amendment. He gives a striking comparison of the expenses of the State gov ernment under Republican and un der Democratic rule, showing the average annual expenses of the Legislature unider Republican rule to have been $320,405.10; under Democratic role last year $40,504. 82; Contingent fund under Repub lican rule, annual average, $62, 805.48; last year, $6,820.17 ; Pub lic printing under Republican rule, annual average, $181,209.95 ; last year. $12,211.40. The total bonded debt is put down at $6,639,170.78. In relation to the public schools, he makes the gratifying statement that the attendance, the number of schools and the number of teachers were greater during the past year than at any previous time in the history of the State. The attend ance for the year 1879-SO was as follows: White pupils, 61,218 ; col ored, 72,853-total-184,072, an increase since 1876-7 of 31,678. Claflin University, the colored High School, is in a flourishing condi tion, affording abundant facilities to the colored people of obtaining a higher education. The Normal Institute held at Spartanburg last summer produced such satisfactory results that the acting Governor recommends that the Legislature appropriate $1,500 for a similar purpose during the next summer. As to the Lunatic Asylum, he re ports that its management under Dr. P. E. Griffin has been success fri and economical. 'Whole num ber of patients 541; now in the Asylum 420 ; 203 males, 217 fe males-268 white, 152 colored ; 329 are State patients, 29 pay patients. The increase for the year has been 4.5. Of the 420 present 26 are considered curable, 87 doubtfil, and 307 incurable- Many needed improvements have been made by way of new buildings, repairs, and precautions against fires. A farm has been purchased with savings from the appropriations, which will contribute toward the support of the institution and afford whole some exercise to those patients who are able to do some work. The Deaf and Dumb and Blind Asylum at Cedar Springs, under perintendence of Thcmas J. Lips comb, has been well conducted ; the in health of the inmates for the past th year has been good, the death rate T being only 2 per cent. Important improvements have been made in the buildings and the walls. The c penitentiary farms have yielded a 2 net income of from $9,000 to $10, 000. The Message recommends that where parties are sentenced for short periods of only four or six months it would be better that C they should be worked on roads or some other way in their own Coun ty, as the cost of transporting them re to and from Columbia costs about C as much as their labor for the short time is worth. The new Department of Agricul- is ture, of whicL A. P. Butler is the efficient Commissioner, receives D considerable attention. This De- bE partment has succeeded in protect ing farmers from inferior fertilizers. About 100,000 tons of fertilizers, 2 valued at $3,000,000, have been a! sold in the State during the past C year. For the nine months pre- b ceding the 30th of September last 53,054 tons of phosphate rock belonging to the State have been ti mined and shipped, yielding the T State a royalty of $53,054. This Sl Department, which has charge of C Fish Culture, has distributed in i1 the streams of the State 30,000 t< California Salmon, 15,000 land lock al Salmon, 2,230,000 Shad, and 3,500 a California Trout. In connection j C with this Department, the Message i recommends to the Legislature to rf consider whether the forfeited lands 0 cannot be profitably disposed of by E settling immigrants. The Stock Law has given almost e universal satisfaction wherever in- 1 troduced, and has brought thous- T ands of acres into cultivation. The acting Governor recommends a to the Legislature to devise some L means to improve the public roads. rt He thinks a good plan would be to abandon many of the old hilly roads r< and lay out new ones under skillful e, engineers, and to employ a certain ti class of convicts for working the tt roads.t He recommends an appropriation f toward maintaining a proper militia s organization in the State. ti The Statute laws of the. State C being in such a confused condition by reason of frequent amendments, he recommends a codification and b digest of the laws so as to bringg them into a convenient and intelli- C( gible shape as soon as possible. He suggests the propriety of a Constitutional amendment, so that our Judges may be elected for life tl or good behaijor. There are other T changes, he thinks, needed in orr" ' Constitution; he favors the plan of ' changes by amendment ratfier than by a Constitutional Convention. to In conclusion, he recommends ty that the Legislature take some steps gW to check the growing edifs of whis- ~ key drinking and the carrying of es concealed deadly weapons. Officers of the C. & G. R. R.T or The incorporators of the Colh'n- K bia & Green'alle Rail Road, foimer- I ly known as the Greenuille & Col- ~ umbia R. R., met in Colh'nbia the 23d instant.

[Wilson, Solornan 1ui THE HERALD, C ..Squeers" and The Newberry Teachers' Institute. In the last issue of the Newberry r News, appears an article in which the t writer first makes a ludicrous attempt to draw a parallel between a bumble bee and the Institute-very much to the discredit of the latter-and then goes on to utter some severe strictures on the Institute, showing, in his own peculiar r style, Where it is, What it is, and What it has been. In sober earnestness, much of what he says bears the impress of truth; but E we do not relish the tone in which it was uttered, and we honestly think that he could have occupied his time with more profit to himself and his fellow teachers, in showing what the Institute should be. or whether it should exist. The resolutions at the close of his piece are entirely in keeping with the char acter of "Squeers", and we "severally" give them an emphatic No. "Resolved, That the Newberry Teach ers' Institute neither is nor ought to be a living. breathing reality." Thus, "Squeers". Impelled by the spirit of this resolution, we shall turn our atten tion to the inquiry, Is this Institute de sirable? without going to the deeper depth of inquiring whether it be a ne cessity. The press and the people c!amor for a general and high-toned enlighten ment. The "wise men" who convene "east" of Newberry, and whose ser vants we are, tell us that popular edu cation must prove the Open Sesame of the secret spring of public purity and prosperity. The State has, to a limited extent, provided educational facilities, and our "wise men" are bringing their heads together, and efforts are making to supplement the too limited provi sions which support the weight of our system of public education. But is this enough? Is this adequate to the accom plishment of the proposed good? Does it lie within the power of statutory en actments dictated by maturest wisdom, to compel scholastic success? No; in the working of cur educational system as it is, there is something radically wrong-something that present legisla tion is powerless to reach. Take the average school of our Coun ty. ask its patron of average intelli gence, what he thinks of it, and ten to one that he will give you a wise wag of his head, accompanied with "some thing's wrong;I can't exactly understand what: but something's wrong." You impatiently ask, What's wrong? Bri die your petulance and let us view this subject in a becoming manner. You repeat, What's wrong? We answer There are not five teachers in Ne wberry County who honestly and earnestly study the art of teaching. If, after re reading that, you dissent, we shall feel disposed to strike out "five" and substi tute three. You are a teacher, and your chances of being one of the three are not enviable. We do not claim to b)e like Cxesar's wife-we are not offended at a breath of suspicion. The State. in order to secure fitness in the school house, subjects the appli cant to an examination; but docs the ability to answer a few rudimentary questions involving a mere exercise of memory, indicate the ability to impart instruction? Is this a sure test of the requisite qualification ? Is to know more important than to know how to teach? Ah! good sir, we leave you to answer whether quacks are more numerous in the mouth of a duck than elsewhere. Here is the rub. Here is the wrong. Too many men make school-teaching a stepping stone. Too many, of too slug gish temperaments to engage in active work, loll behind the teaeber's desk and delude themselves into the belief that they are masters of an easy-going pro fession. Too many pl2y teacher be cause a hood-winked riblic fails to see that this is the last rew,!t of those wvho are notoriously unfit for other profes sions. Too few teachers are actuated by highi and noble motives-without which true success is impossible of attainment. Too few realize that the life of the teach er, properly so called, is one of care and self-sacrifice. Too few bring to the school-room hearts all aglow with fervor and pure asirations. Too few feel the spirit of the great Arnold of Rugby, who preferred that his students should drink from a living fountain ra ther than a stagnant pool. Too few make school-teaching a study. There is too much stagnation in the school houses of the land. There is too little disposition to recognize that the world moves, and to move with it. And, most unhappily, the p)resent degree of pop)ular enlightenment does not enable the people at large to discriminate be tween a teacher and a man wvho "keeps school". WeC conceive the "wrong" to be due, in great part, to these circum stances. The remedy lies in a proper discharge of the teachers' duties. How this may be secured does not so plainly appear. The foremost thinkers who have turn ed their thoughts to the subject, have concurred in the propriety of calling school-teaching a profession. But whose rofession is it? Is it mine? Is it yours, or anybody's else in Ne wherry County ? DJo any of us love it as a pro fession, and study it as a profession? It should be a profession-yes, it shouldi be, and we shall call it a profession. It is the duty of every teacher to feel an honest pride in his profession. We have long held this opinion. whbich daily deepens into a conviction,-That the man who does not feel proud of his pro fession, is out of place in the school room. Every man owes a duty to his vocation; it is his duty to do all that he properly may to elevate it, to give it dignity and consideration in popular esteem. To the accomplishment of this end, little is added by the teacher who: leads an exclusive, isolated life, never1 giving, never receiving professional aid I and encouragement. That this opinion is not original with us, appears in the existence of numerous Institutes, Asso ciations, and Normal Schools. This leads us to a question that we have hiith erto left unanswered: Is a Newberry Teachers' Institute desirable? Tes: that the teachers of the County may meet and develop the sympathy and fel low-feeling that normally exist among them; that they may enhance the im portance and efficiency of their profes sion; that they may receive mutual im provement and instruction in the most e approved theories and methods of teach ing-anid as a body may solve the pro blems which so perplex them as indi- i viduals; that they may appreciate and s strengthen the "community of aim and r community of interest", the professional birth-gift of all true teachers; that they , may advance to a more rational under- e standing of the school, its aims, its t needs, and its appliances. We have 9 little reason to doubt that an institute S f years. 'han be would receive from a >ersonal experience of five years. One neeting may explode for an enthusiast false pet theory that would have given iim ceaseless annoyance for years. One neeting may abate the fervor and end he equestrian exercises of a teacher vho would ha7e ri<lden a hobby to the ore discomfiture of a generation of :hildren. One meeting of an Institute, udiciously controlled, could not fail of tec"om pihing much good. The husi iess of a meeting should consist chiefly >f speeches. discussions, questions and tnswers. The subjects should he of ;eneral interest to teachers. The speak trs should come down to practical. ehool-room style; and each speech hould he followed by a general discus ion of the principles set forth in it. We ssume that an Institute is wiser than my one of its members. There should e no striving after effect; no attempt it display; no painting of rainbows and ;unsets; no glitter and flash. The neans should be suited to the end, vhose gravity and importance do not nvite childs-play. Affecting the style of one whose name s not unknown, we close with the fol owing resolutions: Besol-ed, That the Legislature should, y enactment, require every public >chool-teacher to become an active mem jer of a Teachers' Association. Resolved, That the teacher who does 2ot receive the advantages flowing from in Association cannot faithfully and )f$iciently discharge the duties of his ffice. Resolved, That the Newberry Teach Ers' Institute is not, but ought to be, a vigorously acting reality.
