( LOCK HART SHOALS- j A Wonderful Water Power all ready for Development?Xature and Art have combined ' to establish the Site for a Great Cotton Hill ?The cheapest Plant in the South situated in the Hnest Country. Lock it art siioai.s!?Feb. 3.?The Greenville iV<n has bad a aru*e <*?-> wt ??? Tare aoenrnie great water | owers of Lock- J hart Shoal* and the advantages it o(Tors to j capitalists. Lockhart Shoals, Broad riser, Union county, is situated twelve miles northeast of Union, thirty-five miles south-east of Spar- I tanburg, thirty ni'les south of Gaffocy City ? and e'ghtccu miles west of Chester. The j nearest mill is l'acolct mills, twenty-five miles northwest. i.ocKiiart Hhoals furnishes the best water v power iu ihe Stale and if properly daveloped would rank first among the great 0 water powers of the South. b It seems that na'ure has afforded every $ requisite and advantage to present the peculiar superiority of this magnificent property as a manufacturing site. T The country (as is shown by the situation) naturally tributary to this section comprises eighteen miles eisl to west and t*cn?y-five miles north to scull), accessible to wagons and small bout;?one days trip?unoccu- n pied by any other manufac;uring concern and in the heart of Ihe cotton belt, the finest cotton scct'on in the up country. (| Tbo surrounding country will supply the ^ first cotton mill* 1 -* *fcv aooats, o,^?xr.apindles, and for which subscription, " ara now being received, with raw material n as its natural market. The sccuery is perfect, tendering one 011 either hand cf the beauty spots" depicted by Turner s landscapes, while sickness as a result of climatic intluencc is unknown. 01 The Lockhnrt Shoals railrond, about six w lean miles long, now in contemplation, and (| upuu which gi-auing will begin in the next . Ihiity days, will afford ample transportation J flicililioo : '' "* ' - ?, w.mwiiug nrn me lucnmonit & B Danville system of Jonesvillc, a town nine b( miles north of Union courthouse. It is n w very low estimate to say that this road will carry 000 tons of freight per month with the erection of the first mill, without regard to other mills that will follow.

The bed of mR the river on the shoal is a series of corruga- ^ tions about three feet deep, running parallel with the strikes of the dykes. The river )'ea above and below is deep water, 20 or 30 am feet, the stone forming a natural dam. The 9Cp dam, as projected, will have an average height of about about four feet, and its construction presents scarcely more difficulties ' than wouid be encountered on dry grouud. of t The canal will follow the line of the old 8cdi State canal one qunrter of a nii'e. The sup- jQte porting ground being a few inches only ubove "bead water." This ground is a clay Preil loam, impervious to water, and as will be ton seen by the people, requires a minimum wm amounj of excavation fur canal and basin. eTar s rock excavation will be necessary. This supporting ground forms a plateau of about h??d If Acres of laud, the general ?ur/?? of the ! vrAfcA Am an mltitu-ic or 33 feet above the abovi river adjacentl^^^shghiiy undulatini^ at 0T a^y^J^Pin^Tiver, being scarcely more ^ ??-rote TOO feet from dtep water to high , ground, which renders the site most favor- hena able, as the river would practically be a tail ?how race for the necessary wtieel plants. Mors- "? 011 over, in 1818, the State built u canal for 8,Te navigable purposes to pass this shoal with or a small cotton boats, which hss been aban- '*8.8 1 donsd since 1842, and is now of no procti- P?'Qt cal value. There are one hiilf dozen or * w?l j more.lifl cocks, quard locks and wash ways of first class cut granite masonry estimated 'nS 1 to be worth $30,000 to $40,000. GenAs to ths cost of development, this place Haml Is scarcely comparable with other privileges ju the South or North. Messrs.

I will ouly mention . one that, has moved from this oounty to Spartanburg, namely, A. Jackson Foster, colored. He is well known in this section 1 as an industrious honest, christian man. He was one of Uncle 'Si" Foster's slaves, ? and had a go >d example Met before him in his young days, wbiob, after his freedom, ne tried to practice.

Is there Anything New Under the SanSome time ago, while visiting a well known training school for teachers, I was much enlrrtsined by tho Irssou in Arithmetic for the lowest grade in the Primary Depan meat. In the centre of the pleasant room stood a long bench-like table on which were placed in little groups of five, a great variety of articles. There were fivo tiny dolls, five marbles, five pencils, five peach stones, five pebbles, five grains of corn, five shoe-pegs, five little cups, fivo lit-le thimbles, and some other fives that I have forgotten. A t>right-faccd teacher sat before the table and about it clustered a dozen little men sad women. flow clnl'iren,' saiu me tencuor, "wuo 0*11 count the thimbles ?" Instantly^ * TmitT-looking girl. Then a littlo boy counted the marbles, and a tiny girl, whose itching Angers clung to the edge of the table near the dollies, counted them, and so it went on until each little one had counted a five, when the thimble-countar wrote the result upon the board thus? 11111?6. "Now, ' said the lencher, "Mamie has a little sister at home; how many dollies will she gi?e to her?" Very slowly the ohubby hand pushed out one baby from the group she was guarding with jealous eye, then another, and paused. "Well," said the teacher, "you cannot spare another ?" Mamie's prompt "No'm" was followed by the question?"How many dollies does Mamie give her sister?" and answered in concert, "Two." "Everybody give two away from their fives*" said the teacher. Kaon little hand pushed off the iwos, nud Jeoiie announced?"Three ore left," Then MnA>i? wrote on the board?6?'I?8. ?..riiTO a lot the nicest." "What a delightful way to teach 1" exe I aimed my companion : and after the whole half hour had been consumed in breaking up j r ^ugtiuer mat little number fire, I be stopped the teacher to ask, "What uumber do you begin with ?" ' The smallest number that is uuknown to any of the class," the teacher assw?red.~ "Aud how long do yeu remain upon one number T" was the uezt question. "Until all know it thoroughly," came bick through the open door, as the teacher hurried on to overtake her class. On the way home my companion hod much to say about the "new method" of teaching Arithmetic, but 1 was busily "looking backward" aud remarked dreamily, "It reminds me of somethiug that happened a long time ugo. Let me see?it was in 1807. 1 saw a little toddler seated on the couuter in n village store, a peck measure filled with oorn stood near him, and his chubby hands were busy making little piles of tho grains. At tl?? ywtknr, ?Wh** are you doing little mau? ' he paused long enough to answer, "Putting together and takiDg from things." While waiting for my bundles 1 lie ir 1 him jnll out, "Dranfn, Dranpa, free fives are ifteen ! Ain't that funny T 1 watched him form those three fives into 1 t solid phalanx, deplay one five for skirmish- 1 irs, bring them all out in single file, and as 1 [ left the store he cried, ' "They have to march free together, )ranpa. They won't go in t woe." 1 So this may be a "new method" of teach- 1 ng, but 1 am very sure it is quite an o'd 1 ray of learning. However, you need feel to hesitation about adopting it, my dear. * rou will be perfectly safe in doing so." * Consclenee versus Perception Do we as parents realise that the m^jory of our public schools are irreligious and jat all snch schools are fata>ly defective? he great aise of ail sohoo'a ebuuld be to seen the mind end win the heart to tntk nd righteousness?to blend conscience with g ereeption as tho one grand nttrihnto of I -MiTts?frBOfi?Tftnrar-tI^ inr lw~e separate L iroels, one labeled aocular Use otter re- ai jious, and denlt out nt different shops, at school ie worse than n failure if it does y< it involve the importation of the religious v< e. 1 do not moon to say that creeds or w inor poiuU of doetrlas should be taught, W even discussed in oar publlo sehods, ni it, I do affirm that faith, love, at verence and conscience must he carried pc ehd developed, wph perception, imagi- of tion, intellect, and if our tek6tiers ' only be pand the latter and allow the former to ah sain stunted, thev lea?? ?i?i- ? .??u pupils lb SUed fbr life or prosperity?onljr educated lit.
