Gov. 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 GenerfO 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 v'thin
the past four years, the reduction
of expenses in all the departments
of government, the improvements
in all branches of industry, and the
hopefu1 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 view 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 would re
* quire a Constitutional amendment.
He gives a striking comparison
of the expenses of the State gov
Sernent under Republican and un
der Democratic rule, showing the
average annual expenses of the
* Legislatore under Republican rule
to have been $320,405.16; under
Democratic role last year $40,504.
32; Contingent fnnd under Repub
lican rule, annual average, $62,
805.48 ; last year, $6,820.17:; Pub
lic printing under Republican role,
* 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-134,072, an
increase since 1876-7 of 31,678.
Clafln Uiniversity, 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
ful 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 doubtft'l,
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
the management of Mr. N. F. Walk
er, is doing a good work ; during
the year 56 pupils have been ad.
mitted, representing 19 Counties.
perintendence of Thomas J. Lip
comb, has been well conducted; th
health of the inmates for the pas
year has been good, the death rat
being only 2 per cent. Importan
improvements have been made i
the buildings and the walls. Th
penitentiary farms have yielded
net income of from $9,000 to $10
000. The Message recommend
that where parties are sentence
for short periods of only four c
six months it would be better th
they should be worked on roads c
some other way in their own Coui
ty, as the cost of transporting thei
to and from Columbia costs abot
as much as their labor for the sho:
time is worth.
The new Department of Agricu
ture, of which A. P. Butler is ti
efficient Commissioner, receivi
considerable attention. This D
partment has succeeded in protec
ing farmers from inferior fertilizer
About 100,000 tons of fertilizer
valued at $3,000,000, have be(
sold in the State during the pa
year. For the nine months pr
ceding the 30th of September la
53,054 tons of phosphate ro<
belonging to the State have bei
mined and shipped, yielding t
State a royalty of $53,054. Tl
Department, which has charge
Fish Culture, has distributed
the streams of the State 30,01
California Salmon, 15,000 land loi
Salmon, 2,230,000 Shad, and 3,51
California Trout. In connecti<
with this Department, the Messal
recommends to the Legislature
consider whether the forfeited lan<
cannot be profitably disposed of I
settling immigrants.
The Stock Law has given almc
universal satisfaction v:herever i
troduced, and has brought thot
ands of acres into cultivation.
The acting Governor recommen
to the Legislature to devise sor
means to improve the public roat
He thinks a good plan would be
abandon many of the old hilly roa
and lay out new ones under skill
engineers, and to employ a certa
class of convicts for working t:
roads.
He recommends an appropriati,
toward maintaining a proper milii
organization in the State.
The Statute laws of the Sts
being in such a confused conditi<
by reason of frequent arendmen
he recommends a codification ai
digest of the laws so as to brii
them into a convenient and intel
gible shape as soon as possible.
He suggests the propriety of
Constitutional amendment, so th
o'ir Judges may be elected for li
or good behasior. There are oth
changes, he thinks, needed in o1
Constitution ; he favors the plan
changes by amendment ratlier tha
by a Constitutional Convention.
In conclusion, he recommen<
that the Legislature take some ste]
to check the growing en ls of whi
key drinking and the carrying
concealed deadly weapons.

-Squeers" and The Newberry P
Teachers' Institute.
h
b
In the last issue of the Newberry n
News, appears an article in which the ti
writer first makes a ludicrous attempt J
to draw a parallel between a bumble- S
bee and the Institute-very much to the !
iscredit of the latter-and then goes
on to utter some severe strictures on the | a
Institute, showing, in his own peculiar |
style, Where it is, What it is, and What 0
it has been. a
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 s]
he could have occupied his time with s
more profit to himself and his fellow a
teachers, in showing what the Institute
should be, or whether it should exist. b
The resolutions at the close of his piece
are entirely in keeping with the char- ,
acter of "Squeers", and we "severally" U
give them an emphatic No. V
"Resolved, That the Newberry Teach
ers' Institute neither is nor ought to be
a living. breathing reality." Thus, i
"Squeers". Impelled by the spirit of 1
this resolution, we shall turn our atten
tion to the inquiry, Is this Institute de
sirable? without going to the deeper s
depth of inquiring whether it be a ne
cessity.
The press and the people clmor for
a general and high-toned enlighten
ment. The "wise men" who convene
"east" of Newberry, and whose ser- C
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 i? this
enougb? 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 ;Ican't exactly understand
what; but something's wrong." You
impatiently ask, What's wrong? Bri
dle 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 Newberry
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 I
chances of being one of the three are i
not enviable. We do not claim to be I
like Csar'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 does 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 tech?
Aha! 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 teacher's desk and
delude themselves into the belief that
they are masters of an easy-going pro
fession. Too many play teacher be
cause a hood-winked public fails to see
that this is the last resort of those who
are notoriously unfit for other profes
sions.
Too few teachers are actuated by higbe
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 aspirations. Too fewr
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 present degree of (
popular enlightenment dloes not enable
the people at large to discriminate be
tween a teacher and a man who "keeps
school". We conceive the "wrong" to
be due, in great part, to these circumi-t
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<
profession is it? Is it mine? Is it
yours, or anybody's else in Newberry
County? Do any of us love it as a pro
fession, and study it as a profession? It
should be a profession-yes, it should
be, and we shall call it a profession.
It is the duty of every teacher to feel
an honest pride in his profession. W~e
have long held this opinion, which 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 4
dignity and consideration in popular
esteem. To the accomplishment of this
end, little is added by the teacher who
leads an exclusive, isolated life, nevert
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 hith
erto left unanswered: Is a Newberry
Teachers' Institute desirable? Yes:
that the teachers of the County may t
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 moste
approved theories and methods of teach
ing-and as a body may solve the pro-r
blems which so perplex them as indi
viduals; that they may appreciate ands
strengthen the "community of aim and I
community of interest", the professional I
birth-gift of all true teachers; that they
may advance to a more rational under
standing of the school, its aims, itst
needs, and its appliances. We have
little reason to doubt that an institute
properly conducted, would subserve
these ends.
It is possible for a young teacher to 9
receive more practical benefit from a
half-hour speech shaped by a brain that
hrobs with theulnre and experience
years. than he would receive from a
ersonal experience of five years. One
teeting may explode for an enthusiast
false pet theory that would have given
im ceaseless annoyance for years. One
ieeting may abate the fervor and end
ie equestrian exercises of a teacher
-ho would have ridden a bobby to the
>re discomfiture of a generation of
blidren. One meeting of an Institute,
idiciously controlled, could not fail of
ervonipli-hing much good. The busi
ess of a ieeting should consist chrefly
f speeches. discussions, questions and
nswers. The subjects should he of
eneral interest to teacbers. The speak
rs should come down to practical.
:hool-room style; and each speech
ionld be followed by a general discus
ion of the principles set forth in it. We
ssume that an Institute is wiser than
ny one of its members. There should
e no striving after effect; no attempt
t display; no painting of rainbows and
ansets; no glitter and flash. The
3eans should be suited to the end,
7hose gravity and importance do not
2vite childs-play.
Affecting the style of one whose name
not unknown, we close with the fol
)wing resolutions:
Resolved, That the Legislature should,
y enactment, require every public
chool-teacher to become an active mem
cr of a Teachers' Association.
Resolved, That the teacher who does
ot receive the advantages flowing from
n Association cannot faithfully and
fliciently discharge the duties of his
fice.
Resolved, That the Newberry Teach
rs' Institute is not, but ought to be, a
igorously acting reality.
