gwflttsatt ?jnt?llij)?no;r. J. G. CLIN K SC A LES, EDITOK. TO THE TEACHERS OF ANDERSON COUNTY. The Editor of the INTELLIGENCER has very kindly turned over ta me one column of hi? excellent paper to l>e used in such a way ns will best promote the educational interests of the County. I propose to make this "77/i Teachers' Col vtnti." Aa educators, many of us have long felt the need of sonic sort of organ ization among ?he teachers. If all ilie teachers of the County could meet once a month, or oftener, and diitcuss thc hun dreds of questions relevant to school government and mccessful teaching, great good would he the result ; hut such meetings are impracticable, mid the next best thing that ian be done is to ct nunn nicate thu ugh this column our di Iii cu I ties, experiments, failures und successes. "The County examinations have done muc ," Bays our State Superintendent ol Education, "in thc way of improving the teachers, but they have their limits. While they disclose, in many instances, a shameful want of the moat elementary knowledge on the part of thc teacher, they do not supply that want." The Teachers' Column, with all thal tuny be crowded into it, can not wholly supply that nant, but il can do a great deal in that direction. Wo trust every teacher io the County, then, will feel a special interest in it. Let us make good uso of it, our object being mutual benefit and edification. Let thc teachers in the pub lie schoola not feel thal they must receive all and nive nothing. The teacher occu pying the humblest position may have tried aome plun which would bo gladly adopted by the best teacher in thc Conn ty. From such experienced teachers ns Mesera. Lander, Ligen, Reed, Ayer, latt imer, Langston and Watkins, thc teach ers of fewer years in thc honorable call ing mny learn much about the nrt o! teaching, while tbeao gentlemen, ever ready to learn, may get valuable sugges tiona from the humblest of their pro IVs sion. I think I know wlint I do when I say that any one of these gentlemen, whose name J have been mentioned, would most cheerfully do anything that would at all benefit n brother teacher, and as cheerfully receive instruction from what ever Bourco it may come. All that has been said, though addressed particularly to the male teachers, is intended, of coune, for the females as well. Trusting that I may receivo tho hearty co operation of every earnest teacher in the County in this undertaking, I nm, re spectfully, J. O. CLI.NKSCAI.ES. We have visited all the schools ens' of tbe C. & G. R. R. Some of the teach ers are doing n good work. Many of the houses are in bad condition. Necessary ventilation ia indispensable, but it ia un reasonable to expect a child to study, or a teacher to do good wirk, when he is shivering with enid. Al Calhoun, Mr. Bagwell has a largo school, und ia nn eur neat worker ; but his patrons need not expect bim to be very cuccea?ful so long as they force him to occupy the house he is now trying to teach in. The fact, thal Senator Jue Brown and tho Into Judge J. P. Reed received tl cir primniy in Blruction in that building dues not justify the presumption that it ia got.d enough for any budy in its dilapidated condition. Twenty five dollars judiciously expended would make the house comfortable-let the pal rona fulfill their promise, and the work will begin quite Bonn. Before weean teach ahoy successfully, we must win his confidence and esteem. To do that, we must be sure that we our selves have a character worthy of bia affections. A corrupt teacher cannot fool even a bad hoy very long. Capt. Auatiu asks, "When will you viait my school?" That h just what I don't want you to know, Captain ; or this ib??u, however, you may be sure, as the darky enda his popular song, "i'll he there." ^ Miss Olivia Newton writes that her school is io a flourishing condition. That's just the kind we liko to visit, Mies Olivia ; expect us one of these days. How does Misa Iva Cook teach her pupils to compose? How often does abe require them to write compositions, and what is her plan for correcting mistakes ? Has Mr. Watkins of the Honea Path Behool any exercise intended especially for th? development of the memory of bia papila? Every teacher should have The Naiad, sn educational paper, published monthly by the President of tho Will minston Female College. Dr. Lander ia a ripe scholar, an .experienced teacher, and knows what to print. Tho cotumn of "Words Misused" is itaelf worth much more tima the cost of the entire paper for ft year. %. Bat ?ny one of the teachers read a . boob or ft paper recently that bsa made bim & more efficient worker ? William Datcher ia doing very poor Work, not because of incompetency, but for tho reason that be bas seventy two children crowded into A room which measures about twenty by twenty-four feet. The waste of'time and money is bad enough, hut a more disastrous result of auch an effort ia the formation of the habit of indifference, inattention and in subordination. Let the Honea Path trustees look after thia school. Tho Commissioner will start agntn on his round of visitations next Monday tosrnlng-expect him when you see him. So fur wo hAVo Tovind neither Wall Map not* Q-pbe In tins schools. Our pBopla must wake up. Will the .trustees belji'V* Wslir toe patrons up to. the Im port anea of procuringsoch things?

In some of tho schools, we noticed no black houri's. We trust the unfortunate teachers will worry the trustees and patrons until they get such things es ure absolutely indispensable. With commendable zeal, tho colored people in the neighborhood of Calhoun are pushing their new school house to completion. E. V. Ga?saway, their Competent teacher, is a First Grade man, fresh from the Richmond High School for colored people. "There is mt doubt," said an old soldier yesterday, ''that many singular things occur ns we journey through life," and he looked as though memory was ?trug ling with soine had feature of his exist euee, ile sighed as he continued : "I remember ns though it ?ns yesterday, the march of Hill's corpi ulong the winding Shenandoah up to (he tammi Lu ruy gip.

This sur mise on thc purl ol line?? present wa? only too true, ns ihn Iri'gic. event which billowed tully provtd. The Georgian seemed lo have the lead on the Mississip pian, uml when I lio (lam?is were called io take their places, he led the belle ol ibo valley to a place in thu set. At this point the Mississippian was seen to np proach the couple and heard lo claim the lady's hmid for the (lance. An alterca lion ensued, bul holli wcte cool, brave soldiers-two of the best shots in the army-who did not believe itt n war of words. So it was coded hy the Georgian dancing willi the lady, und tin; sigriifj cunt remark of the Mississippian that "1 will see you after this ucl." "When the dance was over the Geor gian waa seen to aeek tho Mississippian, ?iud together they culled each n friend from the crowd and departed. When outside both claimed that nu insult hud been passed, which could only bo wiped out in the blood of the ot'ier, mid that a duel to the dentil should be arranged nt once. A full mnilll WUS just appearing ahnve tho tops nf tho surrounding forest, mid I tell you this talk of blood in the silence of the night was anything hui plea-ant. No nrgument, however, would avail with these men, so it was arranged that the duel should take pince on top of the Dine Ridge, near the centre of the road that passes through tho gap ; that die wt apiuis should be pistols-nt fifteen puces, and Ibu fire at or between the words 'one, two, three,' filing to continue until one or both were dent). ' Thc point was reached, thc ground measured ofT, mid, tho men took their positions without a tremor. The moon -.bed its pale light down on a reene never to bo forgotten. A moment or two mid tho silence was broken ny tho signal : "One, two, three." At the word "one" the report of two pistols rung out on the midnight air, but the principals main tallied their respective positions. Tue Georgian's left nrni wns Hppn to drop closer to the side, but the Mi-sissippiun was immovable, anil still held bia pistol to tho front. Again, a pistol shot wns heard, coming (rom the Georgian, and the Mississippian still held his position, bul he did nut fire. Tho Georgian pro tested thut he lind not come there io mur der him, hut no answer was returned. The Mis-i-oippiitn's second approached his principal mid found him (lend, shot through the eye on ihe first discharge of the weapons. Death it seems hud been iiMnntanenUH, so much au ns not even to disturb his equilibrium. I may hugel soiue ihiogs, but the midnight duel on tho top nf a spur of thc lillie Ridge, with its attendant circum-tuiices, is not one of them."-Athens, Ga., Banner. The New Process Flour? A number of heavy white millstones wer? piled up on one of tho ducks along the river yesterday. Thev were consigned to a une interior town fm ty or fifty miles from the city, mid were til a style, mase, and finish so long in use. An tdd mau, with n slouch hat pulled down sn fur over his fuco thal his small, bl-nking eyes wero almost hid from view, stood a lillie way back on the wharf and talked to a young man, whom he had nsked for a match. ".Mill-tones have pretty nearly gone mit of date," snit! he, with a half mournful air, "and willi them have gone tho occupation I have followed for thirty years. See here," mid the old man crowded his hat over the hack part of his head, and lifted his face for the first lime into plain sight. It wan pitted all over with numberless ugly dimples, depres sions, and cuts, and looked HS if he might nome day have had the amati pox. "Do you know how that was done?" he said. The young mau did not know. "By picking millstones," was the quickly volunteered information. "No one who has ever followed tho business of giving those at?nos that keen cut texture Ihnt enables them to crush and grind grain can escupe those cuta ami scars. Why, my face is literally filled with the lillie partit les of steel and stone, and iny eyre liave aeasons ol paining me terribly. Hut the profession has ruo its race. In ten years the dictionary makers will put the stereotyped word 'obsolete' after the noun ''millstone.' Modern inventions have regulated tim time-honored mill stone to oblivion. New processes have been discovered fur extracting flour from the wheat, beside which the millstone heu no show." The young min began to grow in* teresled. lie drew hia companion into the doorway of a Mittle switch shanty, secured permission for the two to ait down a moment before tbe fire, and Baked him to continue. . "Nowadays," said the old man, "wheat ia crushed beneath rollcra and tba dour produced ia much superior to the old make. Then, loo, the bran that was thought to be almost worthless ia now si fu d by s new process, and a quality of finuras separate? that ia worth forty or fifty cents more per sack than the com mon variety. You have heard that the beat part of the potato lay j tnt beneath the akin. Recent scientific experiments have shown that it ia true of all vegeta blets especially of the wheat. TM? aug gemed the construction of a seive that would separate the little particles nf the kernel that cling to the shuck when it ha? been broken up and ground to pieces. It ?as successful, and the flour secu red in this way, while amati in quantity, it 5? of superb qur 'ity. Thia latter process wns on ty made poesible by {he new me t ht U of gr,oding wheat that bas been generally adopted by all the large milla in the country. Rut in the meantime my cccu patton hos been gradually undcririippd. A Midnight Duel. Once in a while I have a call to go horne tt hero into thc country and dre--* ii Morie, but it ix very Heidorn. "Most of tlie millstones lu un- in thin country ure of French burr, a silicious rock c< Mailling many small, rough envi ties, ar d requiring Ivs preparation than a perfectly plain Moue. Il is quarried in the geological district known as the "1'arid basin." A quarry has been worked for many years in the valley of the Havan nah river, about 100 inibs above the city ol havannah, and the quality of thc stone secured is said lo be almost t qual to thone produced in Frame. The lower Mime hus generally a smooth grinding surface. The biers id both Morns have to be cut in straight grooves in direction inclined radii. The edges nf the grooves are thus given a cutting action somewhat resem bling I hat of scissor blade*,ami a tendency to force the grain outward toward the cir cuiuterance is secured, thus accelerating the feeding and avoiding clinking. To do this work perfectly it require?an enor mous amount ol practice, and au upprcil lice must serve ?or lour or five year? on cheap stones bf fore he is allowed lo touch the most valuable ones. Machines were ?lice iuvenil d lodo the cutting, but tiny were not a success. It was a bani bu si liesa to learn, and in its day was very profitable. Modern i rino vat hum, however, have no sympathy for workingmen, ami in ten year-* il is doubtful il lhere will be a millstone in use in ibis country." Au Old Reprobate.

Not long siuce, in conversation with a friend, who was ii graduate nf Harvard, and a mnu of good general informatinn, I made mention ol Dr. Franklin's! sun. He was astonish! d. You don't mean our Dr. Ben, do you?" I assured him I did. And I have since found that a groat many well read Americans are ignorant of that hut -that ia, that Franklin had a son in public life. This eon's name was William. He was born in Philadelphia in 1731 In his youth he waa as fond of books na his father had been. Through bia father's influence, he obtained pevernl very lucra tive otiices, mid in 17G2. he waa appoint ed by the king, governor of New Jersey, which office he retained until the break ing nut of the wur. And here, sad tn re late, he was ea earnest in bis support ol the royal authority, aa was his lather in support ol liberty and independence. Alter varioim adventures on thia side, in all of which he^was hitter against the Patriot host of his native land, he made his way to England, where he re mained until be died, a recipient of many favors at the hands of George III. He died in 1813, at the age of eighty two. An might be supposed, his opposition to the cause of liberty, sn dear to the heart of his father, produced an estrange ment between them. For yearn they had no intercourse. In 1704 William wrote to bit, father, and, afier the Doc tor's death, the tetter waa found and published. In reply to that letter, Dr. Franklin said : "Nothing has ever hurt me so mucb. and affected me with such keen sensations of regret, an to find nw aelf deserted in my old age hy my only son ; and not only deserted but to find him taking up armaugainat me in a cause wherein my good fame, fortune and life were at ?take." In bia will, also, the Doctor allujiea to the nari bia son had acted. After mak ins him a fe? ?imple bequests, he adda : "The part be acted agniiml me in the late war, which is nf publie notoriety, will account for my leaving him no more of ari estate he endeavored lo deprive me of."
