LATIN AND GREEK The pertinacity of those who are, opposed to the study of the ancient, classics is wonderful, if not praise worthy; and a few weeks ago they began to congratulate themselves that a new and powerful ally had entered their -ranks. In an ad dress at Harvard, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., advocated practical training for this practical, money Sgetting age, and many persons who yr were too enraptured to give the ad dress critical attention, supposed that he was in favor of banishing Greek and Latin from our schools and colleges. A number of news papers of great power and intelli gence caught , and leveled a chorus condemnation at the ancient sics-all of which they hout being seriously affect ed. But it seems that these op ponents were a trifle premature in basing their arguments upon any thing said. by Mr. Adams. That gentleman stated promptly and publicly that his address had been misunderstood-that he is not op posed to the study of Latin and Greek, but that he is in favor of re taining them in our schools. Then the .rustle of the newspapers died away, and there was silence on the subject; the ally was not an ally, "at all, at all." Without advocating either side of this question, we wish to call atten tion to two very common errors made by those who oppose the study of the ancient classics. The first is the belief that education is the getting of knowledge; and that . ' only those studies are valuable which furnish practical, money-get ting knowledge. This is a very natural error among those who are accustomed to measure the value of s- abor by visible results; the people at large do not see the importance of studying anything which cannot be used as a tool in the labor of life. But education is not the mere getting of facts; it is dis cipline and development. .- The school boy is not able to say what ~. pursuit in life he will follow, and no one is able to tell him; the con sequence is that he has no meanis of knowing what particular study will be .of most practie;al benefit. The school-man steps in and says, "You must aim at the fullest mental de velopinent while in college; you may fit yourself for a special call ing 'after you have disciplined your mind and tested your capacity." Ifmay seem paradoxical, but we are much more benefited by what we forget at college than by what we remember. Understand us. It is not f'or the knowledge we get, that "we'spend-'our -years at school, for the few facts that we learA. there, ie could acquire in later life ihoch more easily in a much shorter time. It makes:no difference whether we remember a particle of the Greek: learned at college-we do not study t for that purpose. The advan tage is not in the Greek and Latin, but in the stwo4 of Greek and Latin -in the mental discipline afforded by studying them diligently. The athlete who uses dumb-bells, and bars and clubs to develop and stiengthen his muscle, does not bring them into the arena when he appears to display his acquired strength and skill; and, just so, the diligent studient leaves many stu Ndies behind him, but carries the discipline and development which he derived from studying them. But the advocates of "bread and butter" wish to drive out the an cient' cla,ssics because, say they, "The p,rinciples and' general struc ture o" all languages is pretty much the same. and the same kind of mental effort is required for their * mastery." That argument 'is cal culated to mislead only those who have not studied the subject. The truth of the matter is, that "the piiesand general structure" are by no means pretty much the same? ' The structure of the English lan gaage has, practically, nothing in common with that of the ancient classics. The etymology and syn tax of the Latin and Greek lan guages are widely different from the etymology .and syntax of the mod ern langu'iges, and their superiori ty as a. means of developing the mind consists in this very difference. The structure of thi lern"lan_ guages is "pretty mwh the same" and on this very account French and German arf'inferior to-Latin and Greek as a means of education Couriers and other persons of no education who speak and write three- or four -of the modern lan guages with ease are numerous in Europe. We commend. the words of an eminent living philologist : "And, to the- demand why, if boys must atudy language .as a means of education, can they not study French or German languages which are now spoken, and which may be of some practical use to them, the answer is that the value of the classical tongues as means of edu cation is in the very fact that they are dead, and that their structure is so remote from that of ours, that to dismember their sentences and reconstruct them according to our fashion of speaking is such an ex ercise of perception, judgment and memory, such a training in thought and in the use of language, as can be found, in no other study or in tellectual exertion to which imma ture and untrained persons of or dinary powers are competent." To this we may add briefly, that the successful student is the one who takes the full course of studies, as he finds it, and devotes himself to its mastery ; on the other hand, ob servation teaches us that the stu dents who derive least benefit from the college course, are the so-called practical boys-in reality, the lazy boys-who select their studies, and omit Latin and Greek because "they are of no practical value?" College students who refuse to try their powers upon the ancient classics, do not often distinguish them selves in their devotion to French and German. $200 REWARD ! The dastardly attgmpt to burn the Newberry Hotel yesterday morning raises the serious ques tion whether the property of this town shall be protected. It is lit tle wonder that our town is startled when the bold burner leaves the cover of darkness, and applies the brand in broad-day light. Let prompt steps be taken, if steps can be taken, for detecting those who show this fiendish disregard of the rights of others ; and as soon as de tected, let ' them swing. Mfessrs. Pool & Schumpert offer a reward of $200 ; let the citizens increase the reward ; and let the watches -of tihe town redouble their vigilance. SENATOR BUTLER'S LETT'EES. The Edgefield .Advertiser pub lishes Senator Butler's first letter on the Public Roads, and says that "he does little more than get over the preliminiaries of the discussion." The Senator's second epistle to the public lis long and full of "prelimi naries," but as we near the end of the series, it is fair to presume, we will get solid information. The end is not yet, and while Senator, Butler is wrestling with the road problem in letters which, we take it for grant ed, the Department of Agriculture will publishi in book form, we ask our readers to ponder these words of the Greenville News: As far as we can see, Senator Butler is drifting towards the posi tion occupied by the Netcs, which is that the present road hews are good enough for all purposes, except that they lack provisions to secure obedi ence to them. This deficiency can be remedied very easily and by the -work* of ordin&ry intellects. The addition to the laws we have of penalties fort their violation and the vesting of power to enforce those penalties in appropriate hands will remove the evils we suffer from as far as legislation can remove them. Then the people will have the, tools to secure good roads ready to their hands, and all that will be necessary for them' to do will be to elect officials with nerve and conscience enough to do their sworn duty. We have too- much law in this State anyhow. We pile dead letter on top of dead letter year after year, and persistently endeavor to correct the failure to enforce exist ing -statutes by making new ones. The real remedy for all of our ills is the education of the peop.le to reverence for the law and its enact ments, and to the demand on all agents of the law to enforce it with out respect of persons or fear of cofr sequences. The public school is the one method by which this educa tion can be spread among the mass es, but its results can be obtained beforehand if the influential and intelligent people, of each county will stand together and move to gethet for the rigid enforcement of the law. When officers understand that strong bodies of people are supporting them in the strict per-1 formance of their duty, and will hold them to account for every failure to perform it fully, their duty will be done. Greenville City can improve the roads in Greenville County a hun dred per cent., by throwing her vote solidly and always for County Coin mnissioners who will enforce the law regardless of who is offended and what precinct may- be lost at the primaries. THE CHOLERA-A PREVENTION ANb A REMEDY. To the Editor of the Nezae and I Courier: The frequent notices in r your paper recently of the dreaded 3 sdbnrge, the cholera. renind me of t an article which appeared about I twenty years ago on this subject. o It was a statement made by a jnis- 1 sionary said to be every way trust- c worthy, and was to this effect: t Whije the cholera was prevailing p fata'lly in the Island of Mauritius a .there was one plantation employing 'J about five hundred workmen upon t which not a case occurred. This a exemption was said to have been n secured by the use of a spoonful of p charcoal given in the coffee every ii other morning. The writer went e on to state that this had been found o effectual not only as a preventive, u but in many cases as a remedy for b the disease-in some even when in i a state of collapse. 1 The value of charcoal as a cor- s rective of acidity and as an ab- i sorbent of noxious gases is well known. It is used to prevent and correct putrefaction. r I will only add that since read- 6 ing the statement referred to I have used it in a great many cases both l for myself and others in colics, cholera morbus, bowel affections t and such like with the greatest sue- ? cess. It affords relief in nausea, sick headache, sour stomach, &c., I generally very promptly. It will be found in all drug stores prepared for use, finely pulverized. I A few drops of water should be first dropped upon the powder, and this rubbed into a paste, when more water can be added, otherwise it would float upon the water. The simplicity of this prescrip tion may lead some to despise it, but not those who have tried it. Naaman thought very contemptu ously of the Prophet's direction to l wash seven times in Jordan, but when he washed he was healed of his leprosy. Very respectfully yours, WHITEFOORD SMITH. Spartanburg, S. C., July,-24, 1883. KELLY AND TILDEN. NEW YonK, .July 22.-Politics are warming_up a little bit. Not only is there a stir in city and i State politics, but the next Presi dential election is looming up strongly and candidates of both parties are being freely discussed. Within the past few weeks the poli ticians. who claim to represent Tam many Hall and also the daily organs of this powerful faction have < been favoring the renomination of 1 Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks. It would appear from common reports that Mr. Kelly aid Mr. Tilden had l agreed to bury. the hatchet. A reporter tried to find Mr. Kelly yesterday, but he was still in Sara toga. His lieutenant-general, Col. Mooney, ex-commissioner of ac counts, when asked if he had any information to give relative to the friendship which is now supposed to exist between Mr. Kelly and Mr. Tilden, smiled one of those beauti ful and bewitching smiles. He said that he could not act as the 1 mouthpiece of Mr. Kelly in regard1 to the alleged alliance, but thought1 that harmony existed between the1 two gentlemen. Anything to bring~ about a Democratic victory next fall, which means a Democratic President at .the close of Mr. Arthur's term of office, was all that was desired. Sheriff Davidson was encounter ed at the City Hall. He said he< believed that however opposed Mr.< Kelly and his followers may have been to Mr. Tilden, for the success of the party, he was ready to throw up the sponge and work in his in terest, providing that Tammany Hall would be allowed her full re cognition in the convention. Mr. Davidson concluded by saying: "Mr. Kelly, I am sure, is anxious for peace and harinony as the best means of bringing about a Demo cratic victory in 1884; If the Til den ticket is to go up again. I think, most unquestionably, that Mr. Kelly will support it." BUFFALO, July 25.-Capt. Mat thew Webb, the' noted English swimmer, perished in an attempt to swim Niagara .River whirlpool rapids yesterday afternoon. lie was rowed in a skiff to a place opposite the Old Maid of Mist landing by John McCleoy, the ferryman at the Falls, and leaped from the boat at two minutes past 4 o'clock. The daring swimmer passed the big rapids all right, keeping the middle of the stream. When he struck the whirlpool he was rushed to the American side where the waves, it [is estimated, are from thirty to forty feet high, and the last seen of him he was throwing .up one arm. His shoot of the rapids was thrill ing. His intention was to pass the whirlpool on the Canada side. Webb- leaves a wife and two child ren in England, The refusal of the railroad and hotel managers of the Falls to have anything to do with what they termed his going to his death rendered the affair financially a failure. The river has been searched for two miles below the whirlpool, and no trace of the fool hardy man can be found, and it is generally conceded that he was en gulfed in the 'whir1bool. Instead of feeling tired and worn out, instead of aches and pains, wouldn't you rather feel fresh and strong ? If you continue feeliag miserable and good for-nothing you have only yourself to blame, for Brown's Iron Bitters will surely cure you. Iron .nd cinchona, are its principal ingredients. It is a certain cure for dyspepsia, indige"s tion, malaria, weakness kidne\-, lung and heart affections. Try it i you desire to be healthy, robust an~ strong' and experience its remarka ble curativ e qualities. INDIGNATION IN ROCK HILL. ROCK Hitt, July 28.-Mr. Stephen Evans, of the Columbia com 2ercial office, arrived on the train -esterday afternoon and immedia ely took charge of the Western 'nion office here. The sympathy. f this entire community is with Jr. Wm. Dillingham, the dis harged operator, who has rendered.; he telegraph company and the ublic efficient and faithful service t this point for a number of years. 'he coming of young Evans to ake charge of the office here has I roused the indignation of every ian in our town against the com any. The - cause of the operators 3 a just one, and he or any one Ise who comes here in any kind of pposition to the Brotherhood is an nwelcome visitor. Mr. Dilling am's' only sin is he is true to is manhood and his persecuted rethren. Rock Hill is with the triking operators-first, last and 11 the timp.-News and Courier. The Richmond and Danville rail oad system has been sold to the yndicate that is behind the East 'ennessee, Virginia and Georgia tailroad, and is the most powerful rganization that has ever yet aken hold of Southern roads. The yndicate is composed of George I. ;eney, Geo, F. Baker, E. D. Fah iestock, Calvin S. Brice, Wm. P. )lyde, and Gen. E. T. Thomas. It fill control, in all, about 4,000 niles of road. At the agricultural meeting in larion Senator Butler said that the vegroes are becoming more worth ess as laborers. IIe advocated the ntroduction of 200,000 German mmigrants as substitutes for \'egroes. In a dispatch to the New Cork Times. Senator Butler was re )resented as advocating the intro luction of 200,000 Mormon, instead )f German, immigrants ! The jury in the case of ex-treas irer Polk found a verdict of guilty of mbezzlement, and the. penalty was ixed at imprisonment in the peni entiary for twenty years, and a ine to the full amount of the em ezzlement. In the Polk case a new trial was -efused, and the defendant appeal d. His bond was fixed at $45,000 tnd it was given. 0 The situation of the telegraph >trike is practically unchanged. ['he Western Union has with great lifficulty filled its most important )ffices with inferior operators. 3oth sides seem determined. The trikers are receiving substantial ssistance, and there is a strong ikelihood that they will hold out. The body of Capt. Webb, was 'ound floating in the river a short listance below Lewistown, N. Y., Lnd a verdict -of "found drowned" vas rendered, a cut about three nches in length, was discovered on he top of his head. It exposed the skull, and appeared to have been nade by a rock. D. W. Sexton, of Windsor, On ;ario, has. written to the Agricul ;ural Department to ascertain if, ten million acres of land can be ought in this State. He wants all n a body, on the coast, for coloni sation purposes. The whole State :ontains only about 17,000,000 icres. Mr. Sexton should study us geography. On one occasion General Lee rc :eived this devout dispatch from me flanik: "By th~e grace of God w'e have beaten them on the right"; md the next moment from the other ing : "By d-d hard fighting we iave whipped them on thie left." 3ne lieutenant was Jackson, the The towns of Casamnicciola, Lac :o and Forio, near Naples, were ilmost entirely destroyed by au sarthquake last Saturday night.

WE MUST MAKE ROOMI For our immense Fall and Winter Stock, which will be the largest and by far the most complete that will be brought to the Up-Country, and to get the neces sary room, (our store being already too small for our rapidly increasing business), we are clearing out our Spring and Summer Goods at SEEM RIUTONS-FOR (JA11 There never has, nor ever will be a time in the History of Newberry when aoods can be bought to a greater advantage. Throw aside your heavy shoes during this oppressive weather, and enjoy the real comfort, which Opera Slip pers will afford. You can buy them from us so cheap that there is no excuse whatever for making yourself uneomforta ie. Now is the time to buy your Prints. We are selling the very best Sic. and Glc.

Our loc. bleacling still leads all other bleachings; and shall it not always lead ? We believe every customer is more or less a Bargain-Seeker, and, if you will take the prices demanded for Dry Goods prior to our establishment, and compare them with our prices as they exist to-day, you will at once see that we have acted upon that belief. Do you want a shoe that will look well on Sundays, and yet stout enough to meet the requirements of every day wear? Then buy J. W. BRIGll1M'S UTOM MIDR.SHOS! See that J. W. Brigham is branded upon the sole of each shoe, and you have-an honest shoe made by an honest man. Whenever and wherever you buy shoes see that the manufacturer's name is branded upon them. It is an infallible test of a good shoe; for every manufacturer of genuine shoes can afford to let you see that he has made them, while no manufacturer of Shoddy and Paste Board Shoes can afford to make himself known, for it would never increase his sales, nor cause your hearts to pulsate with joy. We are not trying to misrep resent our position. We never expect to see that day when we are to make our living by misrepresentations. We mean that we have marked down our Spring and Summer Goods-those goods that cannot be sold in winter-and we shall expect you to call early, and purchase largely of the great bargains which we not only offer for the next 30 days, but for the next 360 days.
