^u?w?tt gttt?lijienm. LOCAL NEWS. W. W. KEYS, LOCAL EDITOB. BRIEF 7'iKNTION. The fertilizer trade continues good. Beeves are scarce und consequently are selling at high prices. The Connell lias about thirty cords of pine wood for sale. Dry goods, notions, etc., are a little cheap er this spring than last. The Palmetto Minstrels are getting ready for another entertainment. The bad weather has put the farmers considerably behind with their work. The Baptist Sunday School have a new library of over two hundred volumes. Anderson is tbr only town of ita size in the Slate that does not vJTord a public ball. The Blue Ridge mountains are covered with snow, which accounts for thc cold wind. The Herald says that Laurcnsvlllc needs a good tailor, and thinks one could do well lhere. The Catholic church will bc dedicated on the 8th of May instead of tho 8th of April, as steted last week. Read too new advertisements of the La dies' 8toro, J. R. & Ei. P. Smith and the New York Cash Store. Col. E. M. Rucker, of this place, owns five or six thousands acres of land in ono body in Elbert county, Go. Mr. J. J. Gilmcr, of Rock Mills township, has bought n house and lot in town, and contemplates moving here to live. Thc Hartwell Sun says that when the Blue Ridge Railroad is built Anderson will become the Atlanta of South Carolina. There has been very little cotton brought to town this week, owing to thc decline in price. Good* middling is worth 101 cents. The ladies of tho Baptist church are get ting up an old woman's concert, which will be given to tho public the latter part of April. Oscar Moore, the eldest son of Maj. John B. Moore, returned home on Monday from Jacksboro, Texas, after an absence of about eighteen months. Messrs. J. C. C. Fcatherston, of this place, and W. C. Benet, of Abbeville, have formed a copartnership for the practice of law in the Eighth Circuit. New Prospect church has been completed, and will be dedicated on the second Sunday in April. Rev. B. Hays will preach the dedicatory sermon. Theru wus wiUoiderablc frost cn Monday morning, a snow and rain storm on Tues day morning, and frost and ice on Wednes day In abundance. Appointments of tho Y. M. C. A. for next Sunday : To conduct the afternoon meeting, John W. Todd; Poor House committee, W. W. Keys, A. P. Hubbard. Mr. J. C. Stribling, proprietor of tho Ashtabula 8tock Farm, near Pendleton, has a Jersey bull two years old that weighs 1078 pounds. It is one ol the finest in tho State. Wo direct the attention of our lady read ers to the advertisement of Miss Della Keys, which appears elsewhere. She keeps a full lino of first-class millinery goods, and dops mantua-making at reasonable prices and with dispatch. Tho county is being scoured by tho stock men for cattle, which are shipped to Charles ton by tho car load. Some of them are in good order t\nd some are not. Altogether, we aro glad that they aro not to be put on thc market at this place. Some of oar citizens are in favor of tho town buying the Court Honso from tho county and converting it into a town hall. They think the Court House should bo off the square and in a more quiet and private place. Think about it. Mr. Samuel Mitchell, who moved from this county about a year ago, died at his home near Westminster, Oconeo raun ty, on the 17th instant in the 73d year of Iiis age. He was a good citizen, and had many friends and relatives in this county. Hon. B. F. Crayton recently went over to Elbert county, Georgia, aud reports that section about forty years behind Anderson county in the matter of progressive farm ing. He says ho would not give bis planta tion two miles from town for half of Elbert county. A good bakery lias long been a want In Anderson that there is now some prospect of having supplied by Mr. S. M. Van Wyck, who has obtained a first-class baker from Charleston. A liberal patronage by our people will be necessary to support the bakery. The favmersln every section of the county arc having trouble with their hands, who seem to think they aro under no obligation whatever to fulfill their agreements with their employers, and quit them at pleasure This is annoying in tho extreme to tho em ployers. Citizens living on Seneca River in this county say that it is very seldom now they ever catch a shad in that stream, from tho fact that a dam across tho Savannah River ?ii Auguslu prevents them from coming higher np the stream than that city. This should not be so. Samuel Postine, o young white man about 17 years ai age, was coiii?illt?d to j si? on Tuesday morning on tho charge of having stolen $92 from Mr. John Long, of Brushy Creek township. Wc understand ho ad mitted the charge on a preliminary trial, which means a year or two in the peniten tiary for him. Tho Town Council of Walhalla has passed an Ordinance requiring persons found on the streets of the town between the hours of 10 p. m. and 5 a. m. to give an account of themselves. Such a law wouldn't work well in Anderson, thor.jh wo are satisfied some of the old folks of tho town would like to seo it enacted and enforced. Tho town clock has como and is being fixed up in thc Court House steeple. It Is from ono of tho best clock manufactories In the country, Is guaranteed to keep correct timo and to be all right In every respect, mid will bo quite an addition to thc town.' Another good thing abaut lt ls, it won't causo tho Christian people of tho town to break the Sabbath, as docs the new street. Mr. J. C. Milford, of this county, met with the misfortune on Sunday night last of having the dwelling on bis plantation In Diamond Hill township, Abbeville county, accidentally destroyed by fire. It was occupied by a colored tenant, who dis covered the fire too late to save the build ing, which had nix rooms and was worth six or seven hundred dollars. Tho firo originated in the cook room. Tho temperance men of tho town make no secret of their purpose to fight with nil their might thc licenso system now in force at tho mnnicipnl election this summer. They have not yet begun to organize their forcee nor to arrange their plans, and arc only talking about what they ure going to do when thc time arrives for notion. We ex;?ect to ECO a lively, vigorous and earnest campaign on both sides when it does open, and if tho license men hold their own it will not be without a most strenuous effort. Mrs. Francis Daniels died at thc resi dence of her son, Capt. John W. Daniels, in this place, on last Buturdny morning at thc advanced age of 73 years, uflcr an illness of two months. She wus u native of Pick* ens county, but for the greater jMirt of ber lifo lived In this county. She raise?! a large family of children, thc survivors of whom, with many other relatives and frionds, mount her death. She was a consistent member of the Methodist church, and ber remains were buried in tho Methodist grave yard in Pendleton Sunday about neon. It is remarkable what u disposition some boys have to sit on the same side of a church with good-looking young ladies. Let a bevy of young ladies have a particular scat in any church and the pews immediately about them will always be filled with young gal lants, who, at the close of service, hurry out and form a line in front of the church door to soo the girls pass. The same boys, too, will go to evening uutertainments and stand around tho door in thc cold till twelve or one o'clock, venturing in occasionally only to warm, and next day boast about what a good time they had at the porty. Thc ruin on lust Fr iday night was ono of thc heaviest that hus f?llen in this section within the recollection of thc oldest inhabi tants. It fell in torrents for several hours amid tbs roaring of thunder and Hashing of lightning, and for the timi- it seemed as though thc earth was being visited by an other flood. Tho streams were swollen till their banks were overflowed, afc-; bridges were swept away and others badly damaged, ploughed bottom lauds were washed away to tho depth they were broken, while tho hill sides were washed into ugly gullies. The accounts of damage come from every quarter. Messrs. George E. and Frank Walker, two deaf mules, of Athens, Tennessee, aro canvassing our town for some excellent bookB-"Royal Path of Life," "Story of the Bible" and "Drifting"-all of which aro elegantly gotten up in di li?rent styles of binding. The books ure all highly spoken of und recommended for their worth, and wo hopo tho unfortunate young men, who are educated, intelligent and of good char acter, will meet with success in our midst. When they have canvassed the town they will go Into the country, and will likely spend several weeks in the county altogeth er. They bavo a double recommendation to the consideration of our people-them selves and their books. Encourage them. Rev. William Carlisle died ut the residence of his son-in-law, Rev. H. B. Fant, in this place at 12.20 a. ni. on the 23rd instant, after an illness of a few weeks from jaundice. Mr. Carlisle was bor:: in Abbeville county 1797, and grow up to manhood there. He I was for tho past fifty or sixty years a useful I and respected minister of the Presbyterian Church, and continued activo in tho work of the ministry until the failing strength consequent upon his advanced age enfee bled bim to such un extent as to detain bim within his homo. His rcmnins will bo placed to rest in Robert's churchyard this morning at 12 m. Mr. Carlisle leaves the recollection of many good works behind him which will atuse bi;* memory long to be cherished by those who knew and loved him. l'our Pay, l'oor Tench. Mn. EDITOR: The Columbia Register, under thc above beading, has the following : "Puy for good teachers and you'll get them. Starvo out your teachers with three month's salary to support tliem for twelve months in tho year, and what right basa reasonable being to expect first class services ?" This ls all very true, and it is 3ound doc trine to preach, but thc State is, year by year, drifting farther and farther from it The services of competent teachers cannot be secured without sufficient pay for their services. Neither can one ufTord to teach three months in the year and "wait for something to turn up" during thc remain ing nine months. Under theso circum stances 710 reasonable btiny can expect first class services. In /act, I clo not sec how this reasonable being can ex])ect services of any kind. Still this is thc case, and yon can hear grumbling on every side at the condition ol our educational interests. Where lies the blame? In the teachers? No. The gov ernment of thc Slate? Yes. And through this government the people? Yes. Thc government pretends to take the education of thc children to itself, but I am sorry tc say it, but still it is true, thc laws of om State on this subject aro u furce. These lawi cover much ground, but no provision ol them is properly enforced, save tho election and maintenance of the State Superinten dant of Education and tho County School Commissioners, and perhaps a few othei minor provisions. Money is required tc run tho schools of tho State, and laws on tho subject, not backed with money, an perfectly useless. The people pretend tc look to thc State under these law:, to cdu cate their children, and they step behlnc them and think themselves safe. This ii why thc teachers aro not paid a living salary, and why our schools throughout thc State do not run on an average cxccetMiit three months out of tho year. Tho State can't pay and tho people won't pay, stil! these reasonablo persons appear to expeel first class services. Our public school sys tem, as it now stands, is doing untold in jury to tho educational interests of thc State. Tho Superintendent of Education may make long reports to thc Legislature tho newspaper men may write knowing anti eloquent articles on education, but th eau dc not ed?calo the children of the State. Tin report of tho Superintendent may shov that so many thousand white and colorer children have attended tho schools darin; tho year, but this docs not add one dollar t< the amount appropriated by the State fo educational purposes, but tho moro in at tendance the shorter term tho schools run J ?iiri is li?t lic?piiig tho uuuMi at nil, and iii I teacher ir. just as near starvation as ever As soon as the publie funds arc exhausto* our schools vanish Uko fogs before th morning sun. Tho patrons, though th same thing happens every year, aro exceed ingly surprised that tho money has gi vet out, but most gracefully refuso to supple ment the public funds with their privat funds, and their children are turned loose t< ron ut largo for at least nine months, am the poor teacher must make thc best posai bio shift he can for a living. The Stat suffers by this, tho teacher suffers and th children suffer, but those that suffer tb I most aro thc children. No State can sccur tho services of first class teachers undc these circumstances, and, since this is th case, it becomes encumhent upon thc Stat to tuko tho education of her children undo its charge and see that they aro proper! educated. A State has thc right to do this not because a rich man owes an educatio to thc children of bis less fortunate neigh bor; not that the State owes an educatio: to any of ber citizen?, but that her own ir terests demandit. If a State can C?K? "??.>'. arm und equip soldiers ami ships of war t protect herself from foreign or domestic er ernies, she certainly ha? thu power to prc tect herself against tho greatest of ull enc mies-ignorance. The stumbling block in Ibo way of ot educational Interests ia our free school syi tem, .?o culled. It has been tried for? mini ber of years, and baa proved n fuilurc complete faitura-as it folia to meet thc enc for which it waa intended. If tho people < the State would take thu public money i tho light of an aid coming from tho Statu i a stimulus to tn.- educating of thc chUdre of tho State, and supplement this aid wit their private funds, then much good wool be accomplished. No "reasonable person can fail to see that these reasonable people i our State wholly fail to look at the matt in this light- Only two remedies presci themselves to me at present. One is, i abolish our freo school system and lot tl peoplo take ibo matter entirely into thc own hands. Thc other ls, for tho State raise enough money to pay for good teach' era for niuo mouths in the year; and pay them well, too. The nopay system is yearly driving tuen that are competen? from tho school room, and this will continue to be the case until something is douc to better our educational system. Our present free school ayatem ia a delusive phantom, and we must use some means to improve it, or abolish it. before ignorance shall have bound thc State hand and foot. '.Vitlieut good pay thc State, or the pec ?ile, whichever you chouse, will always iave poor tench. * An educated man cannot a ia ml to devote his time mid talents to a calling that docs not hufilcieutly remuner ate him for his labor. South Carolina to day needs a oorj>s of well paid and well trained teachers in her schools, and money alone will secure them; and if thc pcoi<i? will not then the State must pay them, i hope that our free school system will bc made mi issue in our next campaign. When I Btate that the people refuse to supplement the public funds with their private funds, I know whereof I speak, and will make no further comments on it at present. I believe thut a system of free schools, -when properly worked, is a good thing, and a goo?! system would meet my hearty approval ; but having been for sumo years past closely connected with the work ings of our present system, and believing it to bo a complete failure, I cunnot approve it. WM. P. CAI.HOVK. fll?r I'la;/, Ocunee Co., S. C., March 17. Correction. Mu. EDITOB: I notice a letter from Kev. W. il. Strickland to tho Baptist Courier, copied in your lost week's paper, in which, speaking of tho "old fashioneil honesty of guan?) dealers," ho mentions the "Pacific" Guano us ono of thc brands sacked up from tho heap of 20,000 tons shipped from Dublin to Port Iloyal, out of which u number of the leading guanos sold in this country arc sacked up, branded and analyses put ?n to suit each kind irrespective of what they may really contain. 1 ?imply wish tu curred this assertion as to thc &>luhle Pacific Guano. The Pacitiu Guano Company have two works-ono at Charleston, S. C., and the other at Woodhull, Mass. Every pound of their gooda that is used in this section of tho country is manufactured at their works at Charleston, 8. C., and if necessary I can get certificates from the S. C. lt. It. und Cit G. It. It. authorities that their guuuo ia shipped directly from these works to the up-country, as their cars run directly up to thc works* and aro loaded there. I would not notice the communication nt all but that some of c. r good people might think that a deception was being practiced upon them, which I know the Pacific Guano Company would be far from doing. Tho gentleman was simply misinformed as to the Pacific Guano. Respectfully, W. 8." Liciov, Agent Sol. Pacific and Stono Guanos [ADVERTISEMENT.) A Card. lt having gone abroad that a personal dif ficulty lise heretofore occurre?l between tho Rev. J. L. Tilmun and myaelf, I employ this means of stating to all who may con sider themselves concerned that, after hav ing had a full and free conversation with Brother Tilmun, und alter having heard his statement I wholly exon?ralo him from all improper or unchristian-like behavior while at mv house. C. M. RICHIE. WtUiamston, S. C. - Memphis Jones, n farmer of Pick ens County, and bia stepson, John Wil liams, eleven years old, narrowly escaped an awful death, on the 18th inst., being overtaken by the eaat bound Air-Line freight train about midway the trestle across Reedy River, at Greenville, and precipitated to the ground, a fall of thirty-two feet. The trestle is over GOO feet long, and so built as to mako escape almost impossible. Master Williams sus pended himself by the hands to the ends of the cross-ties aa the train approached, but relinquished his hold when the en gine reached him and fell to the ground. Jones held on to the edge of the trestle until thc engine passed, but a wide freight box grazed Iiis hips, sending iiim tumbling to the earth. Williams suffer ed no injury beyond the shock and slight concussion, and was sent to his borne to-day. Jones is painfully bruised about the back nnd hips, but "no bones aro broken or dislocated, and all bis injuries are pronounced by Dr. Dorroh not ne cessarily dangerous. - An interview with a Nihilist named Krapotkiu discloses tho fact that the murder of the Czar of Russia waa fixed for four dava earlier than it was actually committed. Exiles in Geneva, who had grown very uneasy at hearing nothing, were wild with joy when, the news'of the assassination arrived. Five men were detailed to throw bombs. If the second bomb had missed, three others would have been thrown before the Czar reached the palace. - Senator Bayard has written a letter to the Delaware Legislature advising them not to take any action on thc sub ject of prohibitory legislation ; thal such legislation ia contrary to Democracy, which allowa individ?ala liberty as tn eating, drinking, &c.
