TEACHERS' COLUMN. -o (I^* Ali communications intended for this column should be addressed to S. P. Stribliutr, School Commis sioner, Walhalla, S. C. Wily should teachers examine their pupils? Beoauso it is necessary to test tile capacity of the pupils, and it is just to;tho pupils, thc teacher and thc patrons. If children were mero re ceptacles of various sizes, capable of growth and contraction, teachers would examine them occasionally lo find out how. much each would bold, and then compare his several ca pacities with previous tests. This would bc a very simule operation and exceedingly satisfactory. Teach ers should examine for the same purpose. Examinations often stimu lates tlic indolent, careless pupil by contrasting his standpoint with thal of Ids fellow student, who has been diligent in prosecuting his studies. Tins composition, exhibits hisdefcets in sud) unmistakable terms that ho is lcd to relied upon the amount of attention and study btv has bestowed upon his duties, both moral and in tellectual. There arc some people whom nothing can reach but a syllogism. How will the following series do? If they aro not made to stand, what better fun. than to knock them all doty ll like a row of bricks? I. Thc schools arc maintained for tho promotion of the best interest of tim State. Tho best interest ol' the State chiclly consists in honesty, intelligence and industry in its citi zens. Ergo: Thc schools arc main tained chiefly for thc promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. '2. Thc schools are chiefly for tho promotion of honesty, intelligence and industry. Honesty, intelligence and industry aro internal growths, not external applications. Ergo: The schools are childly for thc pro motion of three forms of internal growth. 3, The schools arc childly for tho promotion of three forms of inter nal growth. All stich growth con sists in development. Ergo: Thc work of thc schools is chiclly a work of development. 4. Thc work of tho schools is chiclly a work of development. All works of development depend chief ly upon thc vigor and direction of their first stages. Ergo: The chief work of the schools depends ch ie Hy upon thc vigor and direction of its ti rsl stages. f). Thc chief work of the schools depends childly on the vigor and di rection of its lirst stages. The first stages of school work are conducted by primary teachers. Ergo: Thc chief work of the schools depends chiclly on that part which is demo by primary teachers. (5. Primary teachers do that part of a work of development upon which thc whole chiclly depends. In all works of development the part upon which tin; whole chiclly de pends requires tho greatest skill and carries thc heaviest responsibility. Ergo: Thc work of primary teach ers requires the greatest, skill and carries tho heaviest responsibility. 7. Primary teachers ?lo thc work which requires the greatest skill and carries tho heaviest, responsibility. Those who do such work should re ceive thc highest salaries, Ergo: Primary teachers should receive the highest salaries. 8. Primary teachers should re ceives tho highest salaries. Primary teachers do not receive tho highest salaries. Kryo: Some!bing's wrong. -Aristotle, Hoinco Was a True Hero. A largo crowd of people attracted my attention at G o'clock this even ing on Main street. On going clo ser I noticed that a number of men and women were surrounding a dog, which each and every one of tho crowd was anxious to lavish with at tention and endearing terms more appropriately bestowed upon a fa vorite child than upon an animal. "Conni herc, Konioe, my noble obi dog!" said one woman. "Give ino a kiss: there is a dear." "Ah, Romeo," said another, "it was a pity Johnstown bad not more such noble creatures as you are, and there would not be so many people dead here now."

MR. CARY IN REPLY TO MR. BURNS. MKHHIIH. EftiTOKfl : Tho nomina- n tion at Chicago of Mr. Cleveland for n President, and tho platform of prin- h ciplcs adopted by tho National Dem- t ocratic convention, should decide the 1 political issues between Mr, Burns p and myself, if he aceopts tho action J, of tho highest Democratic tribunal if of tho country ns defining Domoc- g racy, und saying what aro "sound h Democratic doctrines." The platform n with its vagaries, of which Mr. Burns M and those of like mind bonBt with HO I much enthusiasm, upon which thov* n stand with both feet, declaring it to h embody such "sound Democratic doc- e< trine," which was given to tho "Big Four" to bo presented to tho Dem- I oeraoy at Chicago, was never mon- R: tioncd by thc illustrious quartet, yt judging from the jmblishcd reports ai of tho proceedings of tho convention, lu But granting that it whs mentioned, D six hundred and sovontcen and one- Il half times, "and . up wont Grover" nj ^.nnd do\yn w ent the West Union club rc with Ibo iii.. Louis baniuu uou.iijnd^ Sf? and ita "sound Jeffersonian . Domoc- K racy." Down went tho "Big Four" tl with the "St. Louis, Ocala, any-man- fn to-beat-Clcvcland" platform. .Such was ita fate, decreed hy tho a?sem- tl bled Democrats from fifty States and w Territories. * Not ono single demand, aa forum- ki lated in tho St. Louis platform, was tc incorporated in tho platform, not- P withstanding tho boast that tho "Big Four" would bo heard in the conven- ti tion on tho "demands." Tho only ai account tho country baa of tho "Big hi Four" so far ia that Coy. Tillman C hunted np tho managers of Mr. Clove- d land's campaign and warned thom ]i that if Mr. Cleveland waa nominated tl South Carolina would not cast hov tl electoral voto for him. if We havo also the throat, from Dr. HI J. Wm. Stokes, while on his way to C Chicago, that if .Cleveland should bo a nominated tho Third Party would ti bo organized in South Carolina within Y twenty-four hours. o On thc second day after Mr. Clove- p land's nomination wo have an odito- t< rial in the Cotton Plant, presided o over by Dr. Stokea, denouncing tho Democratic nomineo for President tl and urging thc farmers to support c some other ticket. 1 These expressions sound strangely d coming from Dem?crata (?). What f will true, confiding Democrats think o of such advice ? ii Is it not time to call a halt and 1 ref uso to follow auch lcadors-oflico holdera and ofliee-aeokors? o I desire to correct Mr. Burna in t bia assertion that in attempting to c. doline the St. Louis platform I became fi hopelessly entangled, in consequence c of my soured of information. They c aro reliable-thc official records by I f tho secretary at tho meeting, "Tho I fand Book of Koady Itoforonco of t thc Third Party," and reports from < poisons who attonded tho meeting. 1 Mr. Burna ia prompt to clamor in \ vindication of what ho torms an < unfounded ch argo against the OconCO ( county Allianco, No. 409. I have 1 made no charge against tho confid- I ing and unsuspecting members who ] wont into it for tho bonofits and i advantages it promised to all em- 1 hera ; for thcao I have no word of \ censure, but thc kindest regard. I i gave thc proceedings participated in 1 hy thc little band of twenty-four, i who, in tho i.amc of-tho county Alli- I anco, voted to adopt thc St. Louis ? platform and pledged themselves to i vote for no man for Congress or any i national office who would not endorso i aaid platform. Thin platform was road in tho county convention ns it was pftssed hy tho little band of twenty-four in tho Allianco, and waa adopted hy tho convention with slight changea. Mr. Burns donica a charge which I did not make I chargod that tho resolution in tho Allianco was paasod with only twenty-four momhors pres ent. This I can substantiate hy a reliable gentleman who was in tho picoting and counted thoso prosont. lt demanded or denied I will give i my author. x fr. Burne again'accuses, mo ot getting tangled hy The News and I f.'o<t/-iert Tue ?????c .oui oilier pupers '? on tho Columbia eauou,., tho night 1 . fore tho noombling of tho oonvon- ; . , which ho terms a "conforonco of ] Alliance Democrats to reconcile dif- j '?'-.M-onoe'H."

Tillman to join in reconciling differences. As to the < uso of torms that havo boon changed, kvill say Mr. Burns found ?'whip in" ? i vory convenient term to uso to ono ? >f the dolegntoH to tho recent State 1 jonvontion, as ho was taking tho .rain. Hero it is : "Whip Tillman I nto lino and mako bim support tho i lomands." 1 Mr. Burns mastors a smile and ? jots gleeful when bo meditates ovor ny efforts to mako his allusions ns < otho way ring rule, bossism and I aachino politics -operate flt tho rcoont I otions of our county and Stato i tosses, and oxolaims, "It ?B like trying ] 6 put tho big pot in thc little ono." ( Mus in a mistake. I did not try lo j ut tho big pot into tho little ono. < ir. Burns foll into the little pot. Ho i i now floundering around trying to I ot out. His friends warned him of i is dangor on tho 2d of May, but ho I rould not hood thom, and now seo I diere he bas lando I-"in tho soup." le is not altogether to blame ; Ids i olitieal associates and tho literature f o has been reading have gotton him i onsiderably "tangled." In reply to my question, Is not I >emocraoy tho samo everywhere? 1 ir. Burns says, "I boliove tho con- : Drso of tho proposition to bo true," j id that "boforo this proposition cnn < a established ho thinks tho national < emooratlo party must bo roformod." < a and tho "Big Four" havo just i ado a signal failure at the kind of l dorm proposed l>y the "Ooonoo, I L.

Mr. Burns Hays those who favor 10 People's Party aro in it ovory borc, South Carolina not excepted. ***** Many of us havo iiown this. Aro tboy who still cling ) tho St. Louis platform in tho Third arty ? Mr. Burns asked mo a direct ques on in ono of bis articles, which I nawercd without evasion. I asked im tho pointed question that if loveland wore m minuted for Preai ent, would ho veto for him? Mr. (urns ignores this question, and by lis, and from his raoont utterances lat ho could not volo for Cleveland ! nominated, and that ho would "as ion have Harrison for President as ?loveland," and his published deolar tions, mako an interesting question 5 tho Democrats of Oconco, na Mr. ?urns holds tho position of county 11 airman, which ho sought for tho urposo of using as a stepping stone ?> something higher, in ouse a Demo rado President should bo elected. In view of these declarations, and lie fact that Mr. Burns is tho county hairman of thc party, it is duo tho )om?craoy that Mr. Burns should celare his position, nineo Iiis plat orm has been ignored by the Dem crftoy of tho country and rests with ls friends and supportent, the Third 'arty. Mr. Burns condemns State bnnkn if issue, which aro roudorod imprac ioablo by tho IO per cent tax on cir dilation required by tho national gov miment. Ono plank in the Demo ratio platform demands the repeal >f this law, and waa urged by tb? rienda of tho South and tho farmers Mr. Burns, in the boginning o bia controversy, gavo mo ovidonei if courtesy, which I reciprocated, mvo assumed no standpoint fron vb ich to judgo Mr. Burns, but hav< ?rawn my conclusioiiB from pilbil loolarntions and acts. Upon thom invo based my argumontsin dofinin; lis position. But how is it with Mi Liutnfl? Whon I tell him that 1 d mt stand on tho St. Louis plntfor* io prOBumos to say that I tako ni /iowa from a "Dcmooratio Wa itrcot standpoint." Mr. Burns ?boni know that this la untrue, unjust an unkind. IIo has no ronson or oxouf for making fluch a charge, but b |/ii?|/wi?c ??.?? **?*I**' *v"* V* ir .?io*? in ?xeito projudico and array ono oin* against another. No word or act i mino at any timo in ?ny life, w'nioh familiar to many, can bo constru? to justify such a conclusion. Again, Mr. Burns gocaout of li way tor thc ?anio purpose, and m roprosonta mo whon ho alludes to r as "our friend, tho Wall street gol bug sympathizer," His allusions mc as holding a Boat In tho county cc vention, tho palisades of tho IIudfK tho cry for rcliof, tho oleot Shoppai itcfl, tho loss of oflico and govoi montai "pap," all go to show lu desperate Mr. Burna regarda bia ci 1 uid how. destitute he if? foi" argument, md lo what depths ho would descend Lo cnvry a poink.?yfliot an injury, Impros?V fi fu?ne?? owrpo^erv^a con idini", publie, invr.do tho privacy of .ho fireside and hofne-all for tho purpose of making a? bmiortupity to ?ono i.oforo tho populace as the poor uanls friend ami champion.

Aa io ibo hohpitalUiCB of i ooinl friends and connections on tho 1 ludson, a?
