Bensont, whIiichi occurred at he r honme in Hart well, Georgia, on thle Gth ist. Mrs. Benson was a si'ter of Mrs. Alexander of this place, and leaves a large circle of ire, latives and friends in t his sect ion to nmourn her death. The Son says: "Mrs. Benson was born in South Carolina the 24th of September, 1 824, near the village of Old Pickens. She was the daughter of Col. Jeptha Norton, anftl was reared amidst the relining influtenices t hat. chanracterized thle society of t hat (lay, and which excellently fitted her for the life of great usefulness which has jurst satdly termiiiiated. Ia lie year 1847 she was united in nmariage with Ilon. JI. Bi. Benson. For a tinme they lived at. Pendle ton S. C., then at Fair Play, andh when Iiart% well was located they became its first settlers. During the many years the deceased has lii ed in this commilunlity - she has b comec ex tensively known for her gentle neture, lov inig .arid benevolent disposition, and high Christian charaoter. And indeed (luring that time none knew her but to love her, inone named her but to praise." SuIcide in Anderson County. On the lith Iinstant, about. 12 o'clock, thie family of Mr. W. L. Davis, of Pendletotn Township, were startled by the report of a pistol in close proximity to the hiouse, andl upon making search they fotunct the body of Wmn. Davis, son of Mr. WV. L. D~avis, in rear of the smoke house shot thIrough the heart. There is no doubt as to it being the work of hais own hand. A few minutes before lie was seen to shed tears and walk out of the house and the next thing seen of hinm lie was wvelter-. ing in his own blood. Mr. Davis was about 21 years of age zand a young manj f good habits and a hard worker. Hie hadr been mfarr'ied something over three years and had two chil dre~n. His married life was not a happy one. His wife left, him about three mioniuhs ago, and his friends think that these things prey ing upion his mind enntsed himti to dlest rov his life. Mr. Davis, the father, is a good ci'tizen And this blow falls heavily upon him. Iti a ..a thing to hecar of a suicide in our nnn., An Infidel On Intemperance. The following arraignment of king Aloho by Bob Ingersoll, the great infidel, is one o (lie strongent we have ever seen In print. * I am aware that there is a prejudicetagaine any man engaged in the manufatoure or sale of alcohol. I believe that from the time it iii. sues from the coiled and poisonous worm ii Ilie distillery until it empties into the hell o death, dishonor and crime, that it demoralizeE everybody that touches it. from its source to where it. ends,. I do not believe that anybody can contemplate the subject without becominp prejudiced against that liquor crime. Al we have to do is to think of the wrecks on ei ther batik of the stream of death, the destitu lion of the little children tearing at the weary and faded breasts of weeping and despairing wives, asking for bread. Of the suicides, o: the insanity, (f the ignorane and poverty that it has produced, the talented men of ge nius that it has destroyed, the men battling with imaginary serpents, produoed by this devilish thing, and when we think of the jails the almishouse, the asylum, of the prisons, of the scaffolds upon either batik, I do not wonder that every thoughtful man is preju, diced against this damned stuff that is called alcohol. Intemperance cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood in its strength and age in its weak ness. It breaks the fond father's heart, be reaves tlie loving mother, extinguishes natu ral affections, erases conjugal love, blots out filial attachments, blights parental hope, and brings down mourning age in sorrow to the grave. It produces weakness not strength; sickness, not health; death, not life. It makes wives widows, children orphans, fathers fiends and all of them paupers and beggars. It feeds rhenatism, nurses gout, welcomes epidem ics, invites cholera, imports pestilence; and embraces consumption. It fills your jails, supplies youir ahinshiouses and demands your asyluns. It engenders controversies, fosters quarrels and cherishes riots. It crowds the penitentiaries and furnishes victims for the scafl'ol. It is the life blood of the gambler, fhe elements of the burglar, the prop of the highwaynin, and lie support of the assassin and midnight incendiary. It countenances the liar, respects the thief and esteems (lie blasphemer. It. violatew obligations, rever ences fraud, honors infamy, defames benevo lence, hates love, scorns virtuo, and slanders innocence. It Incites the father to butcher his helpless offspring, helps the husband to mas sacre his wife and the child to grind the parri. cidal axe, It burns up men, consunes wa men, detests life, curses God and despise heaven. It suborns witnesses, nurses perjury defiles the jury box, and stains the judicial er mine. It degrales the cilizen, debases thic legislator, distionors the statesman and dis 'irm the patriot. It brings shane, not honor, terror, not. safe 1y; despair, not hope; misery, not happiness and with the malevolence of a fiend, it cah1a ly surveys its frightlul desola tion, and dissai isfied with its havoc, ruins morals, blight confideuce, dissolves friendship, slays repu t tion, wipes out national honor and curses th world, then laughs at the ruin it. has accoui plishied. it .1cn ,1t a~ndl mor'e-it kills thie soni - iltainies, the father of a -of abominat ions, the dev G (od's worst enemy. on: It is generally thought whle . ites for the press, to use (lie com ~,that they have an '"axe to grind, t so in this instance, as I have se' e dull.

I I*1p a great deal to say on the subject from first to last, but I do not in tend to say much at a time, at least through the paper. You have no space to spare to long articles on any subject, and if I were to write them and they were published but few persons would read them. Education at this time is beyond all ques tion one of the greatest interests of our coun try, but I am not now going to talk in a general way of the importance of education. Nor am I going to show what I know of the science and art of teaching by discussing those fruitful themes. - The theory and prac, tice of teaching, school government and dic. cipline, the proper relatious of teachers and parents, &c. I wish simply at present to outline as brief ly as I can the general plax upon which we expect to operate, and show the special ob jects which we hope to accomplish. In the first place, it is necessary to state for the information of those who may think that a graded school is some new kind of school, that such a shool does riot differ from a well regulated academy or high school, except in this, that the pupils of tho sevoral grades of the school are kept together in one room or in one section of a room during stu ly an.1 re citation hours until they are ativance.1 to a higher grade. Whenever the size of the school will admit of it, and there is sufficient house accmmodations, there is a teacher for each grade of the school. The grades are divided into divisions, and the divisions into sections, according to the number, age, mental capacity and progress of the pupils. Everything is done to systemize the work thronghout, and to so fix the grades by studies aud organize the school within, as well as to so arrange things without the school house, both as re gards the entrance and egress of pupils to and from their places in the school room, and the movements of pupils to and from recita tions, or for any other purpose, that the whole school machinery, propelled by a few simple and well understood rules. will run orderly and smoothly in all its parts, with as little confusion and friction as possible. Such is a graded school in theory. It is true it is a hard matter to putit a school of this kind fully into actitll practico in a matiill country town like l'ickens.* We proposo to come as near t o it as5 is practicable uder ex There are schools1, of hbis kindl in successful operat ion, noeuneing con siderably over a hiundrned pupils earch, an-1l giving emiployment to lhree, or toutr t eachiers, lat the towns ot' Chester, W innsboro and Prow pe'rity in t his State.

"The investigation fever is becoming epidem ic at tihe seat of Government, and predictions are made that thic present sutmmler will be one of the liveliest Washington has experienced since thme war. Ini adtdit ion to the Post Office aind Treasury Department investigations, both of which are being pushed0( to whlat promise to be unicomfortable results for some people, it is rumored that inq~uiries into the manaige gment of some otheir Departmhlents are to he in stituted. That, there is plenty of material for IIother invetigations, andl rod hot ones too, those best. posted have little doubt. ift lie cor sruption and fraud which it is alleged hats per, mented the ramitications6 of that, immense es, talblinhment, the Interior Department should ever be uprooted it would create a sensation Sbefoire which any developments that have oc cuirredl since the war would pall. This at least is the opinion of some shrewd ani well infor med obseirvers of' public aiffairs. This Depart, Tment embraces control of tihe public lanids, it thle Indiani and t he Pension Bureau, through all 01f which Uncle $am has probably suffered not a little. The arr'ears of pensions act., which was or a- iginally tramned as a piece of' buncomnbe, and 0 with the idea that under no ciircumstances i- could the ftta amount called for by it, exceed $80,000,000, bids fair to be the most exper, (1 sive legislation ever enacted by Congress. It - 1has been an enormious drain on the Treasury from the (ay it was putt on the statute b)ooks, a- and~ it is estimated that thme deficit, this year >- will reach 60.0J00,000. There are men walk I- around Washington every (lay attending to y business wit hout the least inconvenience and a with no perceptible injuiry, who have received 3- hundreds and thousands of dollars under this act. The well known habitue of public places here, who served in some imaginary capacity y duiring thle war, received nearly $200 because f one of' his fingers was a little st iff, or suppos d ed to be so, arid spent, the whole amount in a I- dinner at a fashionable restuarant. to a few of h his boon compainions. What is seen hero in a the lavish and grossly fraudulent dist ribut ion a of the public money under the provisions of this act is nly a ample of ...at :.. taki. place all over the country. Yet after all there is little rcal cause toregret the legislatiou If our revenues raise all this money without dl reet taxation, and are still sufficient toreduce the pubic debt at su6h a rapid and satisf'acto. ry rate, how can it better be dispensed? The money Wfomes from sources that GaD afford to pay it and goes out amoug the people who need it and who put it in circulation. If there has been some fraud and if some of the beneficiaries are unworthy, the fact still re mains that hundreds of thousands of men and families who made great sacrifices in the war. have been releived of want and misery. Apropos of the unpleasantness between Ben, ator Blaine and ex-Senator Conkling, which is greatly intensified by recent events, the fol. lowingIncident is peculiarly amusing: A few days ago Senator Conger, of Micigan coiled at -the house of Mr. Blaine after business hours, expecting to find him at home. Mr- Blaine, however, had been detained at the State De parlinent. M r. Conger requested that the tel ephone be used to ascertain when theSecreta ry would get home. The servant, who misun derstood Mr. Conger when he gave his name, went to the telephone, signaled the State De, partment,, and gravely informed Mr. Blaine that Mr. Conkling was at his house, very desi rous to see him, and would like to know when he would be home. Mr. Blaine was thunder struck. He knit his brows, run his hands thr.ough the remnants of his hair, and request. ed that the name of the gentleman who want, ed to see him should be repeated. "Conkling," came back again through the telephone. 'Con, king," repeated the Secretary, sotto voce, "what can lie mean?" an(d still doubting, the suggestion was made that there must be some mistake. Mr. Conger was then appealed to know if he had not said his name was Conking endl he then pronouiced it intelligibly enough to be understood by the able domestic, who sent it this time all right through the teles phone, and Mr. Blaine was relieved of any fears he had as to. the presence of his arch-en eny in his household.

We have had splendid rains in this section of dur County. ie crops are begin. ning to look well. Wheat will be to cut short ly, it is tolerably good. Oats are net so good. Mr. J. T.

We are soon to have a steam saw mill in our section, conducted by Messrs, Armstrong & Boggs, of Central. Mr. J. D. O'Bryant has bought him a cole brated Esty Organ and is performing splen dily.

The wheat crop is a midliing fair one; t he oat crop has beeni cut a lit tle short by drought. There is some talk in this sec ion of chang n ; our* publlic roads so ais to puit them ont a proper graLde.

Since the Air Line iailroatd Cominrany has ben euired to pay tax upon their property in ithe County the same as our cit izenis paty upon this, our people are beginning to look upon01 the Coutty subscript ien to thait en. er prise as a wise invest ment. The amount of tax paid by the Air Line Rlailroad Company in Pickens County, is as follows: State tax, $1,997.26; County, S 1,19)8.35 6; Railroad, $3,195.61 6; School, $798.91 6; Fence, $99. 86 5.
