To thc Teachers and Patrons oj the ,Schooh of Oconee County : Since j the COURIER has been kind enough to give us one of its columns for our j use, I shall undertake the task of ! conducting it. An<i lot me say right : here, upon you depends the success j or failure of this column, tor without your hearty co-operation this work cannot be'long continued; but with your help and sympathy this column ?can be made both pleasant and pro ? fi table. ? It shall be my endeavor to have articles in this column that will be of practical use to teachers, and to this end I invite every 'cacher in Oconee to send mc in'any article that maybe interesting to our teachers; also any news pertaining to his school. I have felt that we need to get belter acquainted with each other. Let us use this column for this pur pose and unite ourselves, by this means raising the standard of our work and making ourselves a more important factor in our country, Send us in your papers and let us exchange our ideas on teaching, that all may be benefited thereby. Do not wait. J. W. GAINES. Westminster, S. C. Professional Teaching. .Many claim that there is no pro fession of teacher. They say that any one who has learned grammar, arithmetic, etc., can teach. Is this true ? Let us sec whether they really teach or simply kee}) school. One of these teachers who has learned his arithmetic, etc.. but who has not stu died psychology; especially with ref erence to mind training; physiology, so that he may keep the children comfortable, and many other subjects of equal importance, enters the school p.om and prepare? for hearing reci tations. Some learn, ?orne do not. Ile docs not know how to approach j the careless or stubborn ones, but J spares not the roi], with this result :: Thc stubborn, become more so, and the careless stand in such fear of him that if they wished to learn they I could not. Loo': at the teacher who has stu-j died teaching as an art. Ile finds the same difficulties, but he under stands children-he knows this child ! is of a nervous temperament, that of a phlegmatic-and, therefore, has a different treatment for each one. If a child is careless he knows how to! interest him. Ile understands the motives that will influence each of his children, and instead of driving him with thc iroixrod, he places these motives, which will brim?about the! desired effect, before the child, thus, causing thc child to do right for' right's sake, which raises his moral standard and makes him more of a man than any amount of punishment! can. Teachers who study their work daily become more influential and soon obtain better positions, because their work gives better satisfaction, wiiilc those who depend upon hear ing lessons never advance a step, i These things show that one really! teaches, while the other only keeps; school. It is not necessary to attend a training school for this knowledge of the art of teaching. It can be had at horne by diligent study. Numer ous works i n ail branches of teaching by life-long teachers are easily obtained. Any teacher, by a judi cious expenditure of time and money, can pursue at home and during the school mont hs an ad \ antageous course : m pedago ' cs. Beautify Your Rooms. s - Teachers, let us make our school rooms more attractive. You can easily do tins. Ask the boys to clean up the yards and whitewash those fireplaces no longer needed, which they will take pleasure in doing. Ask the girls to decorate your ^oom daily with flowers, and in a few morn ings vou M ill hardly recognize vour own room. By beholding the beau tiful our minds become nobler and we are raised to a higher plane of thought rund feeling. Just so with the child. Beauty also pleases. This will enable you to control your chil dren with less effort. It will cause each pupil to love you, himself and everybody better, and by seeing the beautiful around him attempt uncon sciously to have his person, his mind .and his heart in keeping with his surroundings. Miscellany. Parents, visit your school, and thus encourage your teacher. The teacher labors all day with your children and lies down at night to dream about j them ; and yet how many of you j parets ever think of this and visit I your school, showing by your pres ence-that you are interested in his y$Ork ? Drop in at any.time ; he will I be glad to se? you. COMPLAINT AGAINST THE MUSE. [For the Keowee Courier.] Oh, Muse! once sweetest of the Xine, I fear thy fire's grown cold; Oh, tell me, doth thy scribblers write For glory or for gold ? When first thy inspiration sweet Did ?ive in Hesiod's heart, And Horace taught the happy life Through thy inspiring art, And Finder sang his choral odes Beneath fair (Grecian skies Oh, then, great Muse, thou wert divine, Thy favor sweet and wise ! When Shakespeare taught the tragic stage A music for its play, And brought fair Comedy topview A brighter, better day; And Dante soared beyond the earth Sublimer realms to find. And e'en did taste of Paradise In his conceptive mind; 1 And Milton pierced the starry veil I And breathed of Heaven's clime, Then viewed Hell's angels at their work Oh, Muse, thoa wert sublime! When Keats and Coleridge sang their lays, And Pope's didactic rhyme. With universal logic true, Did temper England's clime; When Wadsworth penned his poesy In perfect measure sweet; When Tennyson his soothing verse Wrote pure and so complete; When in our own bright, sunny land Great Ti m rod tuned his lyre To sentiment so pure and sweet Oh, Muse, sweet was thy lire! j But now, oh. Muse, do hide, I pray, j When sap begins to rise ! Within the poet of the Spring, Lest he prove over-wise j And give thee credit for his verse, j And call thy name to crown j His youthful flow of sentiment Ay youthful, yet renowned .Since 'tis the same re-writ so oft When '"Enthused" wills to sing Oh, hide thee, Muse, and leave, I pray. To builded bards the Spring. . EBEN STEVEN. See Both Sides. [S}>:irt.inl>iirg Spartrm.] Did you ever consider how two-sided most questions ai.d propositions are? Especially is this the case in politics. Lately one might have heard two opin ions clearly expressed about Gov. Till- j man's visit to Western distilleries and j wholesale liquor houses. One man, of \ course a Conservative, would say some thing like the following: "It is humiliat ing and repulsive to refined citizens that the Honorable Governor of South Caro lina, should leave his office to inspect distilleries, to >ample whiskies, to hob nob with whiskey ryigs and trusts in order to lay in a supply of alcoholic drinks for his fellow citizens. For a Governor to assume the duties of liquor taster and purveyor is lowering the dignity of the office." Many sympathize with that opinion and think the Gover nor out of place when in the hands of wholesale whiskey dealers. On thc other hand, you might hear this opinion expressed about the Gover nor by some friend and admirer: "Of course he is doing right. He is a busi- : ness Governor and he does not intend ! that the dealer shall cheat him in the quality of the whiskey he buys fcT thc j State. He is to be honored and applaud ed for visiting the liquor houses and j sampling and inspecting the goods before j he trades. He is in his proper place and at his proper work and wo will stick the closer to him for it. Xever before has South Carolina shown herself up in such style as she has re cently done in Washington in the sera: : hie for Federal patronage. Senator Irby I is kicking against everything that ?loes not suit him and he even uses verystrong language. In fact he "cusses out" things and persons that contravene his plans and purposes. You will find the same difference of opinion about him and his friends there. The Conservatives think Iiis conduct unbecoming a South Carolina Senator. His friends, the Till manites, believe that he is a bold man and that he is doing his full dut}' as be comes an independent Senator. Thus you sec that all these questions have two sides. Small Chance for a Fight. The legal advisers of the Liquor Deal ers' Association have given the following advice: L We advise your committee, and through you your associates, to prepare to meet the statute as valid and constitu tional, and that on and aft'-r the 1st of July, 1893, it will be enforced. 2. In view of the heavy penalties and punishment prescribed by the statute, we cannot advise you to continue selling after the 1st of July, ISW. but, on the contrary, advise you to comply with the terms of the statute until it has first been adjudged invalid. 3. To test the question of the constitu tionality of the statute on the point of Federal prohibition or discrimination, we advise that proper proceedings be taken to test the question, but that pend ing such proceedings and the determina tion thereof the provisions of the Act be carefully observed. The statute, so far as we can see, can only be tested after the 1st of July, 1893, by the attempt of tj|v State or any of its officers to seize and sell liquors manufac tured in another State and exposed for sale here by some one who has obtained and holds a lecense to sell liquors for the whole year. The Charleston Sun epitomizes the advice of the counsel as follows: The liquor trcffi? is not a legitimate business. Ine^erycity and State in the Union the buiiness is subject to legisla tive enactment and police regulation, ; and against that there is nothing to do. t Wc advise the liquor dealers of the State ! not to spend five cents in resisting th ; ? law. 2,228,672.

[Atlanta Constitution.] Pursuant to request. I answer below your question, "Will thc cotton manu facturing business probably be overdone by the building of so many new mills in the South?" Less than a year ago I was at Clemson College, in South Carolina, and was per mitted to look over some old letters, written by John C. Calhoun when he was in Congress, to his brother on a planta tion in South Carolina. Mr. Calhoun told his brother, in substance, that it would be necessary to find something "'se than cotton to plant, as the produc tion of that staple would evidently be overdone at a very early date. Ile went on to state that he was confirmed in his opinion by the news he received from his associates in Congress that in the year in which he wrote there would pro bably be the enormous production of 300,000 bales of cotton. In this day, when the production reaches 9,000,000 bales, it is plain that even Mr. Calhoun, in one instance, at leas', failed to calculate correctly the increasing consumption of cotton goods. Besides this yet increasing consump tion there are other reasons that, to my mind, preclude the possibility of over doing the business of manufacturing cot ton in the Southern States. Previous to the establishment of slavery in the South on a basis that made it stifle everything else, the South prospered in manufac tures. In the Piedmont region of Vir ginia, the Carolinas and Georgia the iron industry was in a prosperous condition in the early part of this century. The South Carolina Railway was, when it was built, one of the most important engineering achievements of its day. The first steam vessel that ever crossed the Atlantic ocean went out of Savannah. After slavery became a lixed institu tion it stiilcd all industrial growth, and as time went on in the days of slavery the idea was put vorward so much by Northern writers, and repeated so often without denial, that it came to be accepted as a fact that the Southern man was not ingenious or mechanical. But no sooner had slavery been abol ished and the political atmosphere become cleared than the Southern people again turned to manufactures, and in Alabama anil Georgia established an iron J industry that worries the Pennsylvani ans, while in North and South Carolina, 1 Georgia and other States the manufac ture of cotton has attained an extent of ! development that worries the New Eng- : landers in some lines. J can see no limit to thc growth of cot-1 ton manufacturing in the South, except i when thc end is reached of manufactur- ! ing the entire crop. The Southern cot-? ton factory has the advantage of every: other cotton factory in the world. In the days of slavery that institution was the one disadvantage under which the South labored in any effort to manufac- < ture, and as matters now stand I con- ! sider that the Southern man is just as capable as his Northern or English bro- : ther to take care of machinery, to handle labor and to attend to business. Ile has the advantage over the Northerner and : Englishman in the saving of bagging and ties, in climate, in saving commissions, prolirs. freights, waste, etc.. on cotton sent to mills outside the South. Thc < South has cheaper fuel than the average ? of other cotton manufacturing sections, cheaper building materials, cheaper labor, better labor, practically unlimited ' water power, and the saving of cost of. compressing cotton and of opening the compressed cotton. These advantages : are not matters of theory. Within a few days a strike was ended in England, in which fifteen millions of spindles stood idle forbore than four months, the mills and the labor being in a quarrel about a ~> per cent raise or reduction of wages. Thc men and the mills claimed alike that they could not live without thea per cent in controversy. If English mills have been reduced to thc necessity to follow up snell a hitter fight for ? per cent, while the Southern mill .''ave been running all during the | strike and doing well, it looks as if Eng- : land would bc driven to the wall entirely before the Southern mills would be re- : duced to the point of unprofitable ope ration. It is not an existing Southern mill that feels the competition of a new I Southern mill so much as English and j New England mills. Of course certain special lines of manu- : facture can be overdone by all the South- i ern mills being pus on too nearly the j same froods. This has happene 1 to a j limited extent in coarse plaids. Each new mill built in thc South should un dertake to get into some linc of cotton : goods not much made in the South, par- j ticularly avoid doing exactly what the Other neighboring mills are doing. Years ago the New England papers said the Southern people could not suc cessfully manufacture cotton. When it | had successfully done so to an extent to | put the fact past dispute, then they said j it could only make coarse goods. But as the yeats go on the quality of goods made in the South becomes finer and liner and the success of the new factories con tinue. It would seem to be only a ques tion of time when the South will make as fine goods as any other manufactur ing region or country. In the process of development it would seem as if the ap prehension of, over-production was as groundless as was Mr. Calhoun's appre hension about the over-production of cotton. In the manufacture of cotton the South has to rely, first, upon the constantly in creasing consumption of cotton goods, and, second, on the fact that she can pro duce cotton goods cheaper than England or New England or any other country. The competition of the South with the South is the very thing to check the growth of cotton manufactures. Certain lines may bc temporarily overdone from "f!me to time, but in the general field the way is open to the South to go ahead for a long time to come. Think of fifteen million spindles stand ing idle in Manchester alone, when as yet, in the three States of North and South Carolina and Georgia, there are about four and a half millions of spindles all told. The South can start many a mill yet before its influence is very much felt and especially in lines of finer goods: Even though the South is in position to survive in the competition with other sections, when, it comes, that competi tion for*existence is a long way off yet T>.

[Associafe Reformed Presbyterian.] The daily papers represent Presi dent Cleveland and the members of bis cabinet as overrun with office seekers and their friends. What a spectacle is this-a great host of free, independent American citizens wear ing themselves out and wasting the President's precious time begging for offi-e! We pay the head of the nation $50,000 a year to spend the largest part of his time for the first few months listening to the supplications of ofiice-beggars. The President is turned into the national god. Morning, noon and night he is besought imploringly by crowds. It is slid that as early as 10 o'clock in the morning the wait ing rooms about the Wrhite House are lilied with persons biding their turn to see the President and impress upon him their fitness and claims. I have seen it somewhere stated that there was -an average of fifteen to twenty applicants for every office within the gift of the President. What means this office-seeking, mania ? Is it some inexplicable craze or "fad?" Is ita desire for honor and eminence? Is it a manifestation of patriotism, or a desire to honor and serve the country? Or is it the crow spirit in the corn field, the hog spirit in the potato patch, the cow spirit in the clover yard, the army spirit in the rich province of the con quered, "to the victors belong the ! spoils ?" How is this for a political proverb, "to the victors belong the spoils?" : Isn't this an elevated view of politi- . cal preferment ? Office anil its emol- : uments are "spoils," valuable posses sions wrung from the enemy, posses sions to be pounced upon and vora- ' ciously appropriated to personal use, and enrichment. Is this the idea animating that great army now invad- j ing the President's mansion, the ; "spoils?" Or does this array of; office-seekers mean that a large por- j tion of our population regard the! Xationa! Government as a nourishing mother, as an institution which owes ; them a living, a soft place and pood , wages ? Just picture to yourself this grand old United States Government as a nursing mother with two sets of chil dren-the Republican ami the Demo- ' eratic ! Every teat has about Iii rubber, tubes, and there are many teats. The ! motner allows a contest. Th?' Repub lican side of the house gets the upper hand and whips ont the other side. There is sucha scramble for teats [ and tube?! There are not enough to go aron.id. So some on that side get mad and go join the Democratic children. The time for another coi test comes round. The side reinforced rushes pell-mell on those enjoying posses-; sion. The Republicans are fat, slick and strong and make a desperate struggle, but are overcome and run off. Then the scramble for those teats and tubes is worse than ever, before Now isn't this a sublime conception and representation of our government? Doesn't it make us all love her more? Certainly she is good, accommo dating and patient. The wonder with me is how she stands the strain. A nursing mother! Admit that she is. I scarcely think she cares to nurse the whole family nor thc half ol it all the same time. The mother regards one baby enough at one time. Tlie older ones must be weaned. If by fortune she gets two, she brings in the bottle. If the government is going to be turned wholly into a nursing mother, and her family increases at the pres ent rate, and the political babies con tinue to multiply by twins and tri}?-. lets, bottles or other expedients will '? have to be provided. FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. [Christian Advocate. Some of our contemporaries are greatly exercised because so small a; percentage of our foreign immigra tion comes to the Southern States. The New York Sun says : "Look at a few figures. Of the 375,000 immigrants who landed at j this port last year only 166 were | bound to South Carolina, 259 to North ; Carolina, 299 to Georgia, 297 to Ala bama, 342 to Florida, 388 to Tennes see, 35>S to Arkansas, 551 to Louis iana, 323 to Virginia, and 201 to Mississippi. Thus it will be seen that much less than one-hundredth part of the immigran's who came here last year went to these ten great and fertile and attractive States. | Not far from one-half of the whole j remained here in New York, while I the great majority of the other half! were bound to the Western States \ and to three of the New England j States. To Illinois there went 28,080 ; { to Michigan, 9,039; to Wisconsin, 7,749; to U wa, 5,948, and to Minne sota, 9,802. To the v. ell-populated State of Massachusetts rbere went 15,219; to the populous l?tle Con necticut, 8,189, and to Rhode Island, 2,S14. There were more of the immigrants of last year bound to Montana than to Arkansr^, more lo Nevada than to Florida, more to Vermont than to Louisiana." Such figures do not bother us in the least. We are in no hurry to fill up all the vacant spaces in the South ern States. There is nothing that we like more than a plenty of room. It is our sincere hope also thru, cur children after us may not le unrea sonably crowded. The South will fill up soon enough. - At present its white population is almost vholly native and Protestant. For all lew comers of the right sort there is a hearty welcome. Bat why there should be any strong desive for a horde of ignorant and superstitious Italians, Poles, or Hungarians, we cannot see.

[Nashville Advocate.] DKAK DR. Hoss : As the World's Columbian Exposition, to be held in this city, will open in a few weeks, I have thought that something in re gard to the expense attendant upon visiting it would be very acceptable to the readers of the Advocate every where. This is a matter that is just now engaging the attention of many thousands who do not possess the facilities of obtaining information that your correspondent enjoys. There is no need of a preface in the way of a description of thc w m de rs of thc coming fair, or of urgn.g all who can to make arragements for at tending it. It is enough to say that the exhibition will be superior to any ever made since the world began. Page after page of description would fail to give your readers an ade quate conception of what is in store for those who enter the portals of what is now denominated the White City. The installation of exhibits is now going forward at a rate thai in- j sures readiness when the time comes : for the President of the United States to give the signal for the turn ing of the first wheel in the extensive and complicated machinery that will mark the beginning of the fair, j Thousands of men of all names anil nations are working day and night that all arrangements may be oer fected, and the people may be sure that to the day, hour and minute, the gates will be thrown open, end visitors from every land and of every tongu? be welcomed. Of course, the qu estion of expense is not one of special importance to those of unlimited means, but to men and women of moderate fortunes it j is one of thought. The prevailing] impression is that it will be very costly, and many are likely to deny themselves the pleasure ai a visit because of this. Now I want your i readers to understand that this is al mistake. There will probably never be a time when they can visit this city for less money than during this fair. The most important item to : those who live at a distance from Chicago is the railroad fare. It is generally believed, though it has not yet been fully settled, that round trip tickets will be sold by all the railroads at two-thirds the regular rate. This does not, of course, in clude a sleeping-car, upon the rates for which there will likely be no re duction. So in the beginning one must make the railroad fare the basis of expense. The railroads in most cases will land passengers at or near the fair grounds. The first thing the visitor will want to do after landing will be to secure quar ters, if he has not arranged for them beforehand. There will be no trou ble in securing a furnished room in the vicinity of the grounds for *1 per dav, and meals can be taken at restaurants, and need not cost more' than *1 per ?lay-in fact, not neces sarily so much; or, if one desires room and board there will bc no trouble in getting it for ?2 ? ? r day. and possibly less. For parties of two or three, to occupy a furnished room, there will be a reduction in price. Fairly installed in quarters all the visitor will have to do is to pay 5<? cents each day for the ticket t<> the fair grounds, and begin to see. One will not be permitted during the day to leave thc grounds with the privi lege of returning without paying again ; that is, no checks will be given.- inside of the inclosure there will be no side show, or anything that requires an admission fee. < >f course, all necessary information or protection will be given without cost, but a fee will be required for all per sonal service performed. Of course, one can add considerably to the ex pense inside the grounds if desired. For instance, one may secure a chair to sit down on, and carry it with them from point to point, tor ten cents each day, or on?; can get the use of a wheeled chair with someone to handle it for 75 cents an hour. But as vour readers doubtless want a minimum of probable expenses. I ara trying to confine myself to it. The fair will open at eight A. M. and close at six P. M. ea?:h day, except Sunday. It will occasionally be open at night, of which due an nouncement, will be made. It will thus be seen that in addition to the railroad fare the expenses per day should not be more than S2.50. So that one living say ?U0 miles away should be able to visit the fair, spend five days within its walls at a cost of not more than *2">. This will pro bably surprise many of your readers, but they rn .ist remember that these figures relate only to the fair itself. In addition to the fair, if one ex pects to visit Midway Plaisance (jus! outside the inclosure), ano all the wonders exhibited as side shows, he must expect to spend 5?.2? more, as they are twenty-one in number, fo'" which the admission will be 25 cents each. These include, among other things, the Esquimaux, German, Irish, Dahomey, Austrian, East. In- . dian, American Indian, Chinese, Lapland, Egyptian and Turkish vil lages ; the animal show, the circular railroad tower, the Ferris wheel, Algeria and Tunis, model of St. Peter's, Moorish Palace and pano rama of the volcano of Kilauea. Further there is also a fee of 25 cents for riding on the electric boat, and 10 cents each for rides on the elevated railroad, sliding railway, and ice railway. If the visitor should desire to visit the city of Chicago proper from bis lodgings near thc fair grounds, it would cost 10 cents the round trip to the South side, and 20 cents to the North, or West side.- ; that is, if the trip were made on the cable-cars. If rooms were taken in the city proper the cable car fare should be added to the daily expense rated above. The minimuqj* of expenses to visit the fair and spend? say five days, exclusive of railroad fare, would be about as follows : Room and board.?10 00 Admission to fair grounds. 2 50 Admission to side shows . 5 25 Ride on electric boat. 26 Ride on elevated, sliding and ice railways. 3i Total.T.S18 30] jjj^If lodp-ings are taken in the. city,. the expense would be ?1 more, but if not, and the si<ie shows and rides were omitted, the expense would be $5.80 less, or ?12.50. I have made no allowance forother things, to places <>f amusement, pic ture galleries, etc., but have consid ered the cost of a man seeing the fair at the least possible expense. Let me add a few suggestions: Don't leave home without sufficient money to take care ot you in case of an ac cident, sickness, etc. Bc sure] to brin"; warm wraps, rind some trfick: clothing; for even in summer there are some sudden changes in the wea ther, and none of the fair buildings are heated. Another thing, as soon as you arrive, if you have not a cata logue get one, and in any event don't attempt to soe the exposition with out system. Determine what you want to see, and then carry out your programme to the letter, for it will be impossible to see one-half of what there is to see in the tim" allotted you. Remember, the grounds con tain over TOO acres-more than a square mile, and there are 52 exposi tion and .State buildings, to suv noth ing of numerous other structures, pil lars, columns, statues, etc. Finally, bring along your notebook, and in the evening jot down items of what you have seen during the day for future reference. Figurately "all the world" will bo here. One word more-don't dress as if going on drees parade; people will not come to look at one another, but t" look at the fair.

[Greenville Sews.] COLUMBIA, S.e., April Hi.-A case involving the right cf thc Presbyte rian church to expel members who have Sunday work to do, and which appears likely to become historical, has, for the hast few days, been en gaging the attention of the Charles ton Presbytery, now in session in this city. The particular object ,r this church discipline is Miss Sadie Means, an orphan, living with her -ister and brother-in-law, who has been engaged in the telephone ex change, where h'-r services arc re quired for four hours on Sunday. Last month she was brought before the session of the Second Presbyte rian church and suspended from membership because of this alleged Sabbath breaking. As was shown in the argument, tin-re are others in this church who likewise work on Sand. v. Argument was made for Mis- Means by the Kev. J. W. Flinn. The Kev. <T. A. Blackburn, pastor of the church, appeared i<c the re spondents. He said that the church had formed a fixed plan governing Sabbath breaking and it required that no member should break the Sabbath. The telephorfe exchange was not a necessity. Fie argued ve hemently on th? observance of the Sabbath day. This evil of Sabbath breaking should be swamped. Ii these charges were sustained he could not remain pastor of the'church'. in reply to a question, he said that it would inconsistent for his church to recognize any person applying for membership who was in a legitimate and necessary business on Sunday. In reply Dr. Flinn said that by their peculiar ideas there was danger of some persons drifting away iv<>:n thc truth by their zeal. If people were run out of the church on such strict rules it would do. away with the whole object of the church to Christianize thc worhl. Et was nearly midnight when a vote on the question was reached. The case was de :ded against Miss Means and the Second Presbyterian church was sustained by a vote of 20 to 8. Tho case will be appealed to the Synod. This action is roundly rebuked on every side. Strength and Health. If you are not feelincr strong and healthy try Electric Diners.
