THE "TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PER VAIL." The testimony thickens that there was no necessity for ordering out the militia nnd there nm no " insurrection' in l>(Onugtuii i null r iorencc counties. It is now said that the Governor's official family is most wofully divided iu regard to his course in calling * out the soldiers and issuing h!s recent proclamntieu. Every one of the cabinet, except perhaps Mr. Mayheld, deprecates his con-J a?o: una several 01 ineui arc outspoken their denunciation of Tillman's lyrany. In addition lo this, Secretary i f Sts'e J. E. Tindal is incensed because Tillman issued ( the police proclamation oud had his naute signed lo it while ho ^the Secretary of State) was in Charleston. It is said that when the talk of Tillman's issuing his police procla- 4 ination first began, Scere'ury Tindal express cd the most unmistakable disapproval of ^ the scheme ami after the proclamation was issued Secretary Tindal stated that he had given no one permissieu to aigu his name, and that his chief clerk had been given ex 1 plicit orders not to fix the great seal of the ^ State except iu his, the Secretary s presence, q (Jen. Kichbourg. in command of the troops t nt Partington, has made the following state- | mem in reference to the condition of affairs as he found ihetn thore : "When I arrived here, I found some unrest. the people not knowing what would be , done. When they discovered that 1 was in command this unrest nt once vanished aud 1 things wete atoonco most quiet and peaceful, and eveu, apparently, cheerful.

The position and statements < made by Mayor Dargau anil his assistants prior to my arrival have been fully btrno out by all that litis come under my obscrva- < lion, oflicia'ly and otherwise.

Mayor Dargan s statement was that the > civil an horities were masters of the situation, that there was no necessity for Soldiers there, and no insurrection." The fasts are com.ng out and they rise up to condemn the Governor"* hot-headed action. At the conclusion of the dress parade in ?

Mr. Lemuel Charles who lives on Reeky Creek, about tlireo miles from Jonesvi le, had the misfortune of having his dwelling lioufo with about all its coulents buroed up last Saturday morning about 11 o'clock l'he tire was accidcutal, bating caught from the cook stovepipe, which was in ashed room adjoining the house. The pipe being lower than the dwelling the sparks blow from the pipe on to ihw top of the house. Mr. Charles is a worthy industrious young firmer ol limited means, consequently this loss falls heavily upon him. I understand, however, that his neighbors are going to join in and help him rebuild, which is right.

In doing ? ? I most earnestly invite e > ' opera'ion and t<uiytbl' aid. You will be 1 able to help, by contributing from lime to time of your mental store, by giving the editor your encouragement and sympathy. 1 We must make this column interesting, edify- 1 ing and elevating, not only to our profession. < but to ull the readers of the Timks. That j ' wc can easily do (Ids is beyond d <ubt. I5y i tho liberal assistance of the teachers 1 will | nuke this space protitablo and instructive I | in tlie highest sense. Touchers, I invoke | ] your zeilous help. ? - i Auent Country Sohools ( In the country schools, where the organization is coutroilod almost entirely by the i teacher in charge, there is little difficulty fotiud in ." electing a basis for classification. ' l.ct us confute ourself to tho "Header." I Those who aro reading in the First Header should recite together iu the other studies. Those who read in the Second Header should also be classed together. It is sometime? necessary to have more than one class in each Header. Then before the First Header : is finished it may be necessary t > liave another class. The same is true of tho Second Header class. Teachers should guard against multiplying classes. Much wid necessarily depend on the exigencies that arise, nnd much good judginout must ' be exercised in startibg new classes and 1 placing | llpl 8. ll IS .?oiu%tunog *y I to give individual instruction to certain ' pupils, in order t> biing them up to the ' requirements ot' the class into which they ' should be placed. It is bettcc to do this 1 than to start new classes, especially if the pupils are deficient in but one or two 1 branches. Ordinarily there sli nil he hut I ono class in tho First Header, one in the 1 Second, and so on. i When beginners enter school and new ' clashes are being formed, the que-tiou arise-: "How can L leach these pupils t > read ?" Discretion, common sense, sagacity, au 1 ' circumstances dctortnino the course to be 1 pursued, 'lhc books In nee. the number of " pupils iti the class, tho aptitude of the 1 pupils will nil influence the action of the teacher. 1 There is one p nut 1 wish to impress on * the minds of all teachers: '/' < !, '>i<" t'rom iff Jifit, to r< it'f nil It />ro/>tr fx/'rcsfion. Teach them .as s^ou ns possible to rccogui/.oj * whole sentences at siglit. llcgiu with sheet, eisy sentences and let each sentence l?e thoroughly master el by sound, by letter, by word, and as a wh<de, so thai it can be I uttered with proper articulation and expre-sion. "They stiould /><??/ ///.' talking." Kye cu'ture ami proper expression are tin* objects s night. There is no reason why a pupil in the SccomI Header should not lie a go id reader as well as one in the Fourth or Fifth. Hut so long as teachers v. ill allow pupi s to hesitate and pii/./lc ami stammer over lessons.thit are tot hard for them, and on which they have not had sulTicicnt drill, thcie will be poor renders.

"tine summer," said he, "a few years after the war, Colonel Higginson was traveling in the South, and he got to talking with it farmer in some town who was employing a considerable number of men at his haying. The fanner told Colonel Higginson that most ?f tlietu were old Confederate soldiers. " 'You see over there where those four men are working?' asked ho. 'Well, all of em fought in the war. One of em was a private, oueof'em was a corporal, one of etn was a major, and that man way over in the corner was a co'one'.' "Are they good men'.'' asked Col. Iliggin>ot?. Well, said the farmer, 'that private's a first-class man, and the corporal's pretty good loo.' "Hut how about the major and the colonel ?*' "The major's so so,' replied the farmer. 'Hut the colonel ? "Well, I don't want to fay nothing against uty man who was a colonel in the war,' siid ho farmer, "hut I've made up my mind 1 won't hire no brigadier generals."?/Josfon Iferafrl. * .
