DKAH COUUIKIC Ned Todd appears to bo growing worse instead of bolter and after this writing wo do not oxpect, to multiply any moro words with him. Wo aro sorry, howovor, that our littlo con troversy has resulted in plneini/ him on public record as favoring pro/unit;/ and dirty language In public by tho Governor of our State to oxpross his sentiments. 1 Nod," if yo? had boen at Westminster on Saturday night last you would havo seen a living witness to our proviens statements as to tho Governor's uso of such language. Wo will mail you thia week a clipping from tho Columbia Reg ister, of July '2d, which may servo to satisfy you as to our correctness on this subject. ?"cs, Ned, the Governor has given his reasons for not signing tho tax oxtension bill, which was about as fol lows: That bo had to raise motley t? nay tho interest on tho public debt, and that ] tho banks of tho State, being unfriendly to the administration, bo could not bor row tho money with which to moot this interest. Hut ho did not pay his own taxes until some time afterwards. This goos to provo that ho was not in sympa thy with tho poor people of tho Stato, in this as well as many other instances. Hcsidos it has already been provon that a sortais hank in tho Stato Offered to loan tho Stato monoy for tho purpose of pay ing this interest, willoh, wo think, places Ibo Governor in an awkward position. What wo think of tho Governor's man agement of tho Coosaw case is just this: Our Stato treasury is now short at least j $125,000 for want of a man to have man aged this matter coolly and calmly, re garding tho interest of tho Stato from more than ono standpoint.

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.
