Decidedly the best and most convincing speeches, on any subject, that we have read since the meetiug of the Legislature, is that of V. E. McBcc, Superintendent of the South Carolina Division of tho R. & D. Railroad system, before the Senate Committee on Railroads, having under consideration the bill introduced in the Senate by Stanyame Wilson, Senator from Spartanburg, to rogulata the general management of railroads in this State. Vie all know Mr. McBee is among the best railroad men in ihc country, but Ins speech before the c.'ininittce on the 7th, stamps liim as a statesman nnd a man of superior mental abilities. Our o'd friend and subscriber of indhy years, Mr. T. F. Uault, of Jouesviile, dVlled on us last week, renewed bis subscription and spent a social hou with us.

FGault, of Jonesvide, 70, and the other fellow don't care about telling the ladies his age. "!Vbcn shall we three mact again?" W There is some complaint against the new schedule, and we confess to feeling considerably that way ourself. Formerly we received the Charleston and Columbia papers a little after noon, but now they don't get here until 0 o'clock p. m., too late 4o he of any practical service that day. There is one consolation in the change : The Greenville Daily New*, containing full reports of all the markets, political and general news up to the latest hour the night before, gets here at 11 o'clock in the morning. The News is one of the liveliest and best conducted daily papers in the South, to and now is the time for our citizens avail themselves of the practical advantage its earl^ttival gives them. Wfhurlolte Observer, also a most exJFTlent doily paper, containing all the latest important news by telegraph and otherwise, arrives here by the meraing mail, so that we ?ret nretlv well nested unon all cirrent events, up to the latest lienr of the n'ght before. But it does teem har>l and strange, in thssedajs of 40 mites an hour travel, that the schedule is so arranged that it takes from 3 o'clock in the morning until 0 o'c'ock at night to get a paper from Columbia to this place, a distince of only ?> j miles. Perh is it is as we'l; that v c may he prepared for the time when all railroad Hp travel will be suspended under the restrictions and extraordinary demands of the Wilson law. ?Ufie JDeelfy "Union "(iinu-s R.

Some of ihe t best Ucf irmcrs are fearful thnt Ihis measure ! wi'l cause * division in our State, politically, J two yoars from now, which may result in ( waking up a sleeping power in our State? ! a fkctor wli ch, if it could be organized and 1 pioperly utilized, might bring scenes which wcic enacted in our Stait before 187C. That c power which has gradually g >ne out of poli- | lies, and we had hoped, forever, as a factor f in shaping legislation, may be brought back i into mischievous play, and if thoroughly c awakened might hoi I the balance of power, t an I, ns u mailer of course, would be arroytd I against everything looking to expunging i this great cv I from our land. What the Senate will do remains to be seen. I 1 have just keen told by a Senator that this Bill wdl bo laid en the table, and a sub- a stitu'o t ffsrsil; the substitute to carry the S plan sugcestel by the Governor in hie 1 annual iue.-sigs; n plan that is in operation in Athens, Ga., knewn as the dispensary i plan.

I The Ruiltoal and County Government bills ] will occupy our time for ths next few days, i A large number of candidates are await- ] ing (lie enactment of these measures into laws, in order to get the office of Railroad i Commissioner. Among them Uuion has tiro aspirants?Cel. 1). 1*. Duncan and G. W. i Wliiimnn. i Our fellow-citizon, G. B. Fowler, is here I in the iutsi'rst of the Joneaville township i bends to the L ckhart Shoe's Railway i Company, and having au extensive acquaint- I ancc in the House, has industriously cinvsssed the tncmheis. in order to got their suppoit in trying to relieve these people fiotu the unjust burden imposed up >n them by this Act. Petitions have been sent, for ami against the validating of these bonds, and hi Is were introduced, in (be House by Col. T. C. Duncan and the Seuaio by Col. Feake, asking us to validate these bonds. Mr, T. L. llames, oue of the Trustees, came down on tit* Mine businise, and an at rangemcnt wns entered into to with ir&w these bills, which hat beau doue, in erJer to allow these differences to lo adjusted between the stockholders and the Company. It appears that the charter obtained dues not fix the tint* when the road is to bo finished, but requires the County Commissioners to execute the Londa, on the townships voting $20,000 each, to the capital stoek of said oompany, und turn them over to the president. This was done and now a portion of t|)? citizens of the two toenshipa oppose the lc<yij)g of a special tax, to meet the interest oq these bonds. The County Commissioners ask for 10 mills on Jonesvillc, and 7} on i'iqolcnyy. Your Representatives examined the law very closely, aod consulted with Msj. Townstnd, Attorney General, in order to get around j recommending this enormous levy, but our i duty was pla-n. and a precedent in the l'ickeus county case, ia which the County Commissioners refused to make ths levy, and were put in jtlil f?r refusing to comply with a {lain statute, required us to recommend the levy asked for ty the Company Commissioners. It is to be regretted that thos* townships did not look closer into the eharter and the requirements ot the Act requiring the County Cemmiss ouers to call an election for the purpose of making the appropriation, and have a time fixed when these bonds should be valid, or iuvali 1, provided certain things were done or not done by the County. The condition ks it now exists, requires t);c payment of these bonds, whether the roan is ever duiil or noi, ana may run 4U years. We hope (ha stockboideis, citizens ami officers of (ho company will come together ami niako an auangcinent, whereby this enormous tax may be lowe-, the liuie fixed for the completion of the road, and the points to which it shall run, be agreed upon, and thus prevent an extended lawsuit. An important bi 1 looking to the funding of ihe State debt is befoic the House now, which wheu passed will put our alinininration in good shape as to completing the re- 1 funding of the State bonds. It looks now as if we would be here until 24th inst. Yours iruly, John It.

Some toaohers strike the desk, stamp on the floor, call order, order, ordku , or ring the bell to ciuse quietness. A clap of thunder startles us into s illness for a few moments, but evea tbnnder would lose its terror if oon"rollod by some teaohers. Disorderly pupils should be subdued, not terto calm a cannon near A teacher mu<t be deliberate, not itnpulsiref or explosive. If he wishes to secure good order he must be orderly himself. Attention gained by making a sudden noise is only of a temporary kind. The noise of the pupils yields for a time, but soon reasserts itself. It is a mistake to think that children wish iu umiv llicir wtyil why hi bciiooi. lUOy tIKI order better than disorder. So would hII growu people, if they had beeu properly traioed bt school. Children are most joyous and happy, and, therefore, me^t thoroughly educated in those schools where the diso?plino is strict with >ut bring loe severe. There is no quioker way for a teacher to lose the rerpect of his pupils than by overindulging them. The true teacher draws at ention not to himself so muoh as to the work he doesAn old saying is : "Our expectations ought not to be limit* d to our former experiences." Ours is not, cspepitlly iu the matter of educating the masses. Tne next session of the Teachers' Association will bo held iu the Uradcd School bui'ding at Union, J .nuary 7, 1893. The fo lowing subjects will be discussed : "Thirdyears' work in arithmetic."?Mrs. N. M. Linder, Miss Loreua Hawkins, J. L Strain. "Illustrations of improved methods iu te'ching geography"?Miss Lizzie Gregory, Miss llrunnou llodgers, W. W. Bruce. "Intsrmedi ite grammar work" ? Mrs. M. E. Britten, F. L. Wilson. As usua', ilie exercises will be varied with music, sougs, question box, etc. If (be Teachers' Co'u nn don't come up to the expectation of our reader*, it will be our j misfortune instead of our fault. Teachers aud other friends of education are requested te send in their correspondence on any of the various stibjec s that belong to this department, and they will receive prompt attention. Anonymous writers will oleosa give their name*, not for publication but as an evidence of good faith. Education tends to make people more orJerly, and to substitute reflecion for pnssio*; to predispose them to respect lawful authority ; to render poli ical revelutions gradual and bl <o lless ; te qualify men to exercise more and more political power ; and to make refinement and civilization universal. To educate tlie children of our country is to prepare them for the duties of life ; to keep thein in ignorance is to rob them of their manhood and womanhood, together with other gruve possibilities. 1 The bqy who observed Thanksgiving day , by accidentally shooting a bullet into his t ne ghbor's body, isn't half as happy as the one who shot a niokle in the treasury to help feed and clothe the orphans, k We want the re orts of schools, together with t'is names of any scholars whose efficiency may merit a notice in this column. ho want to creuie a thirst Tor education among the ycutlis of our land. We can see but little difference between a tale-bearer and a tale-hearer, when we compare Proverbs 0:10, with Ephesians 4:31. The faculties ef the mind are comprised in three general divisions, to wit: the intellect, the sensibility and the will. The strength of th? miud is not in doublings, but {a firm convictions.

Opposition and discouragement is some' times a good renson why we should keep on doing a good work.

Cotton Sued Hollt.?The oil mill* of ILiv city have gone up on the price of hull*. It moans the demand is greater iben the supply. What was considered a waste, only fit for fue\ a few years ago, is now turned to valuable account. Cutlo feeding in this immediate vicinity, an industry resulting from a recent discovery as to the cheap feeding value of hulls . and meal combined, has created a home maiket for more hulls than the city mills can produce.. So it will be, in a short time, at all others points where cotton seed oil milts are established. Cattle feeding will follow as a sure nnvinsr industrv. There will be n demnnd for more hulls (ban can bo mode. What than ? A substitute must bo found ; cheap, ci-arse feed that can be used (instead of hails)with seed meal to fatton tbo cattle of the 8outh for early spring market. Every farmer can find some one or more acres that can be turned over to the production of the substitute. Water grass, crab griss, Japan clover, Bermuda, eto*, caj be made to fill the bill. lie that is wise will "take time by tho forelock" and be ready when the auspicious moment arrives. As soon us cotton (the short crop} is off hand go to work on these low lying, unprofitable ndres, "only fit for grass," remove roots and stumps and otherwise put thorn in order to raise a crop of grass next year and the next. It wyd soon he discovered that they are the most profitable aces on the farm. There will be a home market for large quantities of hay when farmers "ortoh on" to the cattle feeding experiments that are being made at t lie oil mills. Then it will be found out en the farm that ootton seed have a double value. A feed value that is unapproachable, also a mauurial value that cannot be supplied so cheaply in any other way-?Meridian (.Vim.) Lit* Stock Journal.
