The True Teacher.
There are some few things that are
necessary to characterize a good
teaoher. First, his oharaotor must
be above reproaob, with that high
standard of integrity and truthful
ness that every teacher aud parent
must take as a guido and practice.
Ile must have sympathy, knowledge,
enthusiasm aud oommon sense. As
a test of qualification his charaoter
must stan ' first. Upright in all
businef^ nBi.otions, a close compli
ance \ .i tho terms of all contracts,
freedom from all offences against
morality, a close adherence to the
potent iniiuenco of examplo, aud a
high grade of culture that can coun
tenance nothing base or low-these
are some of tho qualities that school
boards cannot scrutinize too olosely
when seeking out a proper person to
plaoe in authority.as a toucher.
Above all, the teacher must tho
roughly understand the subject to bo
taught and be endowed with talent
and magnetism in order to improvo
the talents and buoy up the ambi
tions of his pupils. Lacking in these,
his efforts must prove a failure. Ile
mu?t bo a man of wide and accurato
scholarship, which must bo sufficient
to meet all tho requirements of the
school, though it should not be ob
tained for tho occasion through tho
stuffing process.
Thc teacher should not bo an
omnivorous reader of everything that
falls in his way but ho should bo an
active reader of good book?. Too
many teachers skim tho surface, but
do not divo deep enough in search of
the hidden treasures which Ho in
deeper water. Ile should Btndy
each topic well before he presents it
to the class, so that his pupils may
drink from a fresh fountain rather
than a stagnant pool. Ile should lie
a student as well as a teacher and
pursue a chosen line of reading and
investigation for his own benefit.
The best teacher is tho one whoso
whole soul is in the work and his
sole aim to obtain and impart sound
knowledge. Ile should bo a closo
observer of the general environments
thrown around his school. Ile must
know what he is teaching, and not
teach his opinions as a truth. His
opinions are but mental pictures ex
pressing a supposition.
The teacher should never como to
tho end of his resources. To avoid
this lie should be a reader of educa
tional literature and a student of
whatever branch lie intends to teach.
He should lie able to present every
recitation in such a manner that the
pupil may got the best possible re
sults.
A man without a heart has no
business in the school room. One of
the strongest elements in the life; of
the true teacher is sympathy. It is
not a part of the teacher's work to
repress the self-activity of the child,
but his duty lies rather in guiding it
so that it may become a prominent
factor in his life. The heart of the
little child heeds to kind words and
deeds as the strings of the violin to
tho fingers of the skilled player.
Patience and firmness, working
hand in hand, with no show of
tyrannical rule, with no slackness in
preserving good order, with deep
interest in whatever promotes the
welfare and general good of the
child at school as well as at home,
are some of thc necessary require
ments of tho teacher who achieves
success.
A good, clever boy can gather a
few rays of light from any fool with
knowledge, but it requires a skilled
workman to be able to teach. It is
a very easy thing to keep school, but
it is a great and noble thing to he a
true teacher.

Dr. Miles' Nervine Cured
Me.
Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine brings rest
and sweet sleep to the tired brain worn out
with the cares and anxieties of the sick room.
Read the following:
"I have always been healthy with the ex
ception of a touch of rheumatism since my
a^e came on, np to thc time of my husband's
last illness some years ago. I assisted in
nursing my husband for neatly three months
when ne departed this ?lie sud the mental
strain I think caused my trouble. Aside
from extreme nervousness my trouble com
menced with sore thioat and neuralgia. My
physician gave me purgative doses which
weakened me very much and my stomach
for a time seemed inactive. Mental strain
and the dormant condition of my stomach
soon told upon my general health. I had
little appetite and was soon forced to st:"' In
'..cd a greater part ot thc time. Within a
week after the time I began taking Dr.
Miles' Restorative Nervine and Tonic I was
up about the house. I continued their use
until completely cured. My faith in Dr.
Miles' Remedies has been strengthened by
experience of other people, our daughter hav
ing used Restorative Nervine with splendid
results in a case of para ysis and a friend to
whom I sent a box of the Anti Pain Pills re
ports that she has been completely cured of
neuralgia by their use. I know of a number
of others whom your medicine has helped in a
large degree. I wish you continued success."

Game Law? ot th? Stat?.
There have already been a uumber
of complaints that the game law is
being violated, says the Vorkville
Enquirer. It is said that the sum
mer bas been very propitious to the
raising of partridges and the fields
are full of young birds which, in
som? localities, are meeting with
wholesale destruction at the hands
of pot bunters. In view of this
fact it might bo well for the sports
men who love sport for its own sake
to in come familiar with the game
laws so that they oan prosecute pot
hunters and stop the extermination
of fledglings. The following is a
digost of tho game law of 1902 :
Non-residents are required to pay
a license of $25 to the county treas
urer of the oounty where the visitor
may be for the privilege of hunting
in the State. Not obtaining said
license before hunting or shooting
shall be deemed guil'v of misde
meanor and on eonviotion fined not
moro than $50. This act does not
apply to persons who kill gamo on
their own land.
It is unlawful to kill dcor or to
worry them with dogs between tho
first day of February and the first
day of Septomber, except in tho
counties of Clarendon, Georgotown,
Colleton, Williamsburg, Marlboro,
Kershaw, Ilorry, Darlington, Mariou
and Berkoley, in whioh counties it
shall not bo lawful between tho first
day of February and the first day of
August. Fire-hunting is prohibited.
lt shall not be lawful between the
first day of April and tho first day
of Novembor to kill any wild turkoy,
partridge, quail, woodoook or pheas
ant ; or between tho first day of
March and tho first day of August
any dove ; or, at any* timo during
tho year to fire-light any of the birds
named.
It shall not bo lawful for any per
son, excopt upon his own land or
upon tho lands of another with the
consent of thc owner thereof, to net
or trap a partridge, and it shall be
unlawful for any person to soil, offer
for sale, or ship or export for sale,
any partridge, or quail, or doer, or
wild turkeys for the spaoo of five
years from thc approval of this act ;
provided, that nothing in this act
shall prevent tho importation for
sale of any partridge or quail. Any
person violating this soction shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall bo punished by a
fine of not exceeding $30, or by im
prisonment in the county jail for a
term not exceeding 30 days.

Tho Negro and tho Electric Whip.
A Georgia mail carrier has invented
an electric whip which, according to
Machinery, presents considerable
novelty. Thc mail carrier drives a
wagon with doors that could be closed
in rain. In stormy weather he natu
rally disliked to open one of the
doors in order to reach out and apply
tho lash to the horse, which, being
an intelligent animal, naturally took
advantage of the situation and al
ways lagged in rainy weather. To
overcome this propensity the Georgia
Edison attached a pair of copper
plates under the harness saddle and
connected them by a wire to a hand
operated dynamo in the wagon.
When thc steed began to jog up and
down, without making much advance,
it was time to turn the dynamo crank,
which gave the horse a very evident
wish to get over the ground more
rapidly, and almost any desired speed
oould he obtained, according to tho
number of rotations per minute given
the dynamo armature. An appara
tus is now contemplated, says the
Atlanta Constitution, which paper
has the distinction of first telling
about this invention, for use on
plows, whereby both the mule and
plow hand shall bo automatically
shocked every few minnies. It is
believed that such an attachment
would find a tremendous sale all over
the South, as by its uso farmers
could bo very sure that no darkey
would go to sleep between the plow
handles.
Of Courso Not.
A judge of ono of thc United
States Cironit Courts has a five-year
old niece of whom ho is very proud.
A few days ago she carno to him and
said w'th a very serious air :
"Uncle, there is a question about
law I want to ask you."
"Well, dear, what ?sit?" patiently
inquired the judge?
"Uncle, if n man had a peacock
and it went into another man's yard
and laid an egg, who would tho ogg
belong to i"
Tho judge smiled indulgently
and replied :
"Why, the egg would bolong to
tho man who owned tho peacock,
but he could be prosecuted for tres
passing if ho went on tho other's
property to get it."
Tho child scorned. very much in
terested in tho explanation, and then
observed innocently :
"Undo, dM it over occur to you
that a peacock couldn't lay an ogg?"

Obliging'the Conductor.
"Step lively 1" bawled tbe con
ductor as the crow tl started to board
his oar. ?'Step lively, th oro?"
Tho portly father climbed, whees*
irjg, aboard, carrying a small and
chubby boy. Next came a little
bright eyed girl of six, perhaps,
while the mother climbed on last oar?
rying th? baby.
Thero were seats for tho father,
tho mother, the small boy and baby
-tho last two on their parents'
knees-hut tho little girl had to
stand.
"Meroy on us, Hester !" said the
mother. "What are you hopping
about that way for ?"
The little girl was dinging to the
seat ahead and was dancing exoitedly,
hopping on one foot and then the
other as fast as she could.
"Why, mamma," she said, still
eyeing the stern conduotor, "I'm
stepping livoly 1"
Even the conductor smiled.-New

Not a Clear Title.
The word "furlough" ooourrod in
a roading lesson of a primary grado
in ono of tho public sohools, says tho
Philadelphia Ledger. Thc teacher
asked if any boy or girl knew thc
moaning of tho word.
One small hand was raised and
shaken vigorously in tho eagerness
of tho urchin to display his knowl
edge. When ho received permission
to speak ho rose and with tho great
est assurance said :
"Furlough means a mule."
Not a whit disturbed at
teacher's "Oh, no, it doesn't,'
small boy conlidontly answered :
"I have thc book at home that says
so." Then tho teachor told him he
might bring tho book to school and
show it to hor.
Thc next morning ho came armed
with thc book, and triumphantly
showed her thc picture of an Ameri
can soldier astride a mule, under
which was printed, "Going homo on
his furlough."
Boy's Composition on Parents.
tho
tho
Parents aro things most hoy? have
to look after them. Most girls also
have parents. Parents consist of
Pus and Mas. Pas talk a good deal
about what they are aro going to do,
but it's mostly Mas that make you
mind.
Sometimes it is different tho.
Once a hoy came homo from college
on vacation. His parents lived on a
farm. There was work to bo done
on thc farm. Work on tho farm
always has to bc done carly in the
morning. This boy didn't get up.
His sister goos to thc stairway and
calls :
"Willie, 'tis a beautiful morning.
Rise and list to the lark."
Thc boy didn't say anything.
Then Ma calls :
"William, it is time to get up.
Your breakfast is growing cold."
Tho boy kept right on, not saying
anything. Then his Pa puts his
head in thc stairway, and says he :
?Bill !"
"Coming, sir !" says the boy.
1 know a boy that hasn't got any
parents. He goes in swimming when
ever he pleases. But I am going to
stick to my parents. However, I
don't tell them so 'causo they might
get it into their heads that I couldn't
get along without them. Says this
boy to me :
"Parents aro a nuisance ; they
aren't what they're cracked up to
be."
Says I to him :
"Just thc same I find 'cm handy
to have Parents have their fail
ings, of course, liko all of us, but
on the wholo 1 approve of 'em, and
I hope good boys will continue to
have 'om."

Bible Texts for all Mood?.
Bible texts and refereooes are put
to praotioal uses these days by the
practical religionists, who believe
in the oontinual association of worldly
and spiritual ideas. Tho advertising

employ Biblioal allusions and sug
gestions as a means of driving home
the wedge of his aggressive thought.
Ocoasioually the methods followed
are even more direot. This is the
manner in which the reoent adver

"If the people seem unkind, read
the li ft eon i h ohapter of John.
"If you are discouraged about
your work, read the one huudredand
twenty-sixth Psalm.
"If you are all out of sorts, read
the twelfth chapter of Hebrews.
"If you oan't have your own way

"If you are losing confidence in

Pray Against Weevil.
New Orleans, September 7.-In many
chm ches throughout Texas on Sunday
prayers were offered for relief from tho
Moxioan boll weevil pest Cotton
planters asked the ministers fpr their
aid and the pastors responded, not only
in the country tc vim and villages, but in
the largest churches in the principal
cities in the State.
The Mexioan boll woovil, the most de
structive enemy to the ootton orop that
has ever appeared, orossed the Rio
Orando a few yeats ago, and has now
spread over the Eastorn quarter of Texas,
reaching from the coast lino almost to
tho Arkansas bordor.
In 1002 tho damage indicted by this
insect on tho ootton crop was estimated
at $10,000,000, and, in the natural order
of evouts, the damngo this year should
bo greater, tho territory involved having
greatly increased. What tho extent Of
damage will bo, however, cannot be esti
mated until the third annual generation
of tho insects nppears in tho next two or
throo weoks. Tbe weevil multiplies
about 1,000,000 timos or more eaoh gene
ration, and Texas planters are now
anxiously awaitiug tho coming, third
orop.
The territory In Texas already oovored
is large, involving as groat au area as is
em braced in the bon ndarics of ono of tho
largor states of the Uniou. At last the
weovil bas crossed tho Texas boundary,
and appoarcd in Western Louisiana and
iu Southern Oklahoma, but tho damage
tins year will not be great outside of
Texas,
The only caso in which tho woovil IIBB
mado a long jump has beon to this oity,
it having appeared in largo numbers at
tho State experimental station in
Audubon park, in tho upper limits of
Now Orleans, a few weoks ago. It is
est i mat ed that tho third crop will spread
until tho entire cotton bolt of 'Texas is
envoloped, and Texas producos about
one-fif th of tho cotton crop of tho country.

A Georgia Farmer Slain in His Field.
Tho murder of Ron Stroupo, near Dun-]
woody, Qa., last Wednesday afternoon,
was ono of the most cold blooded assassi
nations that ever occurred in that State.
Stroupo, who was a quiet and poacoablo
man, was in bis field pulling foddor when
two men slipped up behind him aud shot
bim niuo times with .'18-calibor pistols.
Eight shots wore tired from tho rear and
ono bullet struck bim in tho front of tho
body. It is believed tho murder grow
out of negroes trying to steal pears from
Stroupe's orchard. Tho tragedy was fol
lowed by a most heartrending scene
when tho young wife discovered her hus
band's dead body. She was found sit-1
ting on top of a rail fonce, gazing down
upon tho body in a frenzy bordering on I
madness. If tho murderers aro caught]
they will ne lynched.
A sensational tragedy occurred at
Kinston, N. C., last Friday wbon Emmott
Hoyett shot and killed his wifo, Lona
revett, on tho front porch of horfathor's
bouse, in tho prosonce of hor mother and
younger sister. Royott was evidently I
under the iulluencoof liquor at tho time)
and tho net was ono of premeditation, as
he bad shown tho pistol, a SH calibre, to
Mr. Walter Fields whilo on tho way to
tho home of his wife, who has for somo
timo been living with hor father, J. C.
Chestnut. Tho latter attempted to kill
Hoyett whilo he was hoing taken tc jail,
but was hold off at the point of tho
sheriff's revolver.
Train Fell Through tho Trestle.
Passenger train No. 15, northbound,
on the South Carolina and Ucorgia Ex

wont through a trestle 50 foot high over
Fishing Creek near Yorkvillo, last
Thursday, killing six mon and injuring
21. When the train passed upon tho
trestle the entire structure under tho
cars gave way, burling tho engine and
cars to tho bank of tho crook, about 50
foot below. Tho timbers of tho bridgo
were rotten and to this fact Is ascribed
the causo of tho wreck.
To look at tho wreck it seems liko a
miracle that anyone escaped. In tho bcd
of tho crock, now almost dry, in a
frightful mass of ruins, lies tho train and
trestle, tho cars shattered into splinter?

educated them. No limit will bo
placed on their material prosperity,
but they must pay their teachers and
educate their own children.''
Maj. Yardamuu's majority was
nearly eight thousand. He ran for
Governor onoe before on the same
platform, but was badly defeated. It
is said that the aotion of President
Roosevelt in the matter of the
Indianola post otilen had muoh to do
with Vardaman's success. The vote
is a protest against the social-equality
ideas of the President, and means
that Mississippi resents tho injustice
done her.
Mississippi has taken the lead in
this matter and other States will fol
low. The experiment of educating
negroes has had a fair trial. The peo
ple of the South have taxed them
selves to the limit to help the race
along and no good has como from it.
According to our Inst calculation
tho white people of South Carolina
pay 29 dollars in taxes to public edu
oation where negroes pay but one.
When the money is apportioned
that difference does not exist, and
for years the white people have paid
twenty-nine times their ohare to edu
cate the negroes. This point has
been made before and several times
an effort has been made to effect)
just division of the taxes, but failed
as it did at first in Mississippi.
The next effort wo make will be suc
cessful.
Wheli South Carolina redeemed
herself in 1876 it was the Mississippi
plan that did the work, and there
will be another deliverance if we
take the road marked out by Missis
sippi.
Georgia has spent millions on negro
education only to turn out a genera
tion of sneak thieves and vagrants
who have to be curbed by excessively
stringent, vagrancy laws. Money
spont for negro education bas been
spent in vain.
There are people in South Caro
lina who believe in continuing the
present system of dividing tho taxes.
What the great Napoleon said about
Martinque is applicable in this case.
Speaking of tho emancipation of the
negroes there, he r...id, "Few persons
were in a situation to foresee the
consequence at tho time, but for
any ono to persist in these principles
is to show a want of good faith ; it
is mere pride and hypocrisy." Ho
continued, "I am for tho whites be
cause I am whito, and it is quite
evident that those who propose tho
emancipation of tho blaoks must
wish for tho slavery of tho whites."
No one wishes to deny all aid to
tho colored people in tho educational
line, but tho inequality between the
amount of taxes paid and the benefits
received is too great to bo continued.

Vagrants In Norry.
The farmors have complained this
yoar of the scarcity of labor more
than usual, it seems to us, and it is
apparent that if tho vagrant law is
not moro rigidly enforced in the
towns, where tho lazy and unem
ployed like to congregate, it is cer
tain that complaint from this source
will increase
Notice the number you will find
any bot day, with perhaps large
families dependont upon them for
food and clothing, no resource but
daily labor, who will refuse to work,
although offered honest wages for it.
Many of this class have left the
country, whore thoy can find regular
work on tho farms, to come to town,
where by an occasional penny errand
or shade job, they can barely koop
the wolf from tho door. How hard
it is at this time of tho year to got a
little pilo of wood chopped, tho yard
cleared of weeds or tho fall garden
spaded, somo of us aro aware. And
what prices they charge when thoy
can, by any means, bo induced to
work 1 Tho remedy to be applied to
tho caso is to enforco law. Make

Stuck To His Bargain.
At the "Old Cummins Jaokson
Mills," on the West Fork river, in
what is now West Virginia, was
liviug, sixty-seven years ago, a
healthy boy, .who had very definite
ideas Of honor and a strong sense uf
righi. Little Tom Jaokson, like a
good many other boys, was fond of
fishing, and equally as fond of
selling his fish whenever he could
find customers.
In the village of Weston, throe
miles above the mills, Conrad Kerstor
kept a small store and market. He
had agreed with tho boy to give him
fifty cents for every pike a foot or
moro in length that he ?caught in tho
mill pond.
Tho boy was only ten years old,
hut he made the contract in good
faith ; and, as thc sequel showed, he
knew how to keep it.
As time went on a good many
twelve inch pike were delivered at
I the market with mutual satisfaction
to both parties in the trade. One
day the boy was seen tugging through
j tho village an enormous fish that
almost dragged on the ground. It
was two inches over r yard long.
Colonel Talbot, a gentleman who
knew the young fisherman very well,
hailed him and complimented him
on his success.
"A noble fish, Tom. Whero are
you going with it ? I want to buy it."
"It's sold to Mr. Kerstor," said thc
hoy, without stopping.
"That oan't be. Ho hasen't seen
it. Say, I'll give you a dollar for it."
"I tell you it's sold. 'TiRn't mine."
"What's Kerster going togivo you
for it ?"
"Fifty cents," shouted Tom, still
keeping on his way.
Tho colonel called after him, "I'll
give a dollar and a quarter."
Tom turned a moment, with an in
dignant look, and replied : "If you
get any of this pike, you'll have to
get it of Mr. Kerster," and on he
went, bending under his load", until
he reached the *tore.
Mr. Kerster was astonished. "Fifty
cents insn't enough for that fish," ho
Baid. "I shall have to give you a
dollar."
"No, sir ; it's yours at fifty cents,"
insisted Tom. "I'll not take any
more. You've hcen kind enough to
pay mo for some that were pretty
short." And fifty cents was thc
price paid for tho big pike. .
This story Mr. Korstor himself, in
his old ago, gavo to his nephew,
Judge MoWhorton, who gave it to
the Chicago Standard.
The fino conscience and keen
sonse of honor that ruled tho boy
fixed the habit of a lifo-time. The
name by which ho became known to
the world was "Stonewall Jackson.
