Brother L?ngsten, Local Editor of the Intelligencer, is mistaken as to the use we make of our leather breeches: we use them when riding. School Com? missioners can't afford many pairs of pants, and must protect the few they have. School Commissioner to a number of small boys: "Boys, can you tell me how far it is over to the colored school?" Small boy with indignant air: "Why, sir, does you want to git to teach a nigger school?" We'll pass round that boy when we meet him hereafter. Is your teacher an earnest worker ? Is her heart in the work ? Are your chil? dren fond of her ? Do you like her, and like her plans? Then tell her so. Show * er that you appreciate her untiring efforts in behalf of your children. It will do her good. It will make her a better teacher. We are glad to find that several schools in the County outside of the villages will run ten months. The patrons employ the teacher and he gives them Credit for the amount he gets from the public fund. Mr. Compton in Fork, Mr. Stribling and Miss Drake in Martin, Mr. Bagwell in Belton, and others run their schools ten months. We congratulate the teachers and commend the patrons in the several communities. We wish these were many more such schools. The future men of this County are now the bare-footed boys. There are jewels among them. Let us look after them. FREE PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. Mr. Editor; As a friend of free pub? lic schools, we write to thank you for your editorial on "Our Neighborhood Schools," in the Advocate of the 18th inst. Our people need both instruction and exhortation in this matter of the education of their children, and it seems to us eminently right and proper that the Church papers should do their part of this instructing and exhorting. In 1670, the Commissioners of Foreign Plantations addressed to the Governors of the colonies, several questions relative to their condition. To one respecting the means of education, the Governor of Connecticut replied: "One-fourth of the annual revenue of the colony is laid out in maintaining free (common) schools for the education of our children." To the same question, Gov. Berkeley, of Virginia, replied:. "I thank God there are no free schools nor printing, and I hope we shall not have these hundred years." These two States are fair speci? mens of the two sections. If any deny this, let him compare the illiteracy of the white people North and South, as given in the last United States census. One set of States is known as the "old Free School States." No Southern State is found on this list. For many long years the old Virginia Governor has slept with his fathers. Peace to his ashes! The opinion be held of free schools still lives, and may be found nearer home than the Old Do? minion. We quote a few figures from Prof. E. Means Davis's sketch of Education in South Carolina, in the Hand Bookoi the State. From 1811 to 1852 the State appropriated about $37,000 a year for the support of free schools. Each parish or district was allowed as many free schools i as it had representatives in the lower House. The greatest number of pupils any year was 10,718 (in 1833). The largest expenditure was ?48,951 (in 1819), during which year the attendance was only 3,002. In 1832, the Legislature, by a close vote, passed an act doubling the appropriation for free schools. After that, some $74,000 a year were annually set apart for tho maintenance of these schools. In 1858, the attendance was 17,000; in 1854, 16,000, outside of Charleston; in 1860, there were 1,270 schools and 18,915 pupils; in 1863, 823 schools, 845 teachers, and 18,811 pupils. Prof. Davis discusses the question why this system of instruction bore so little fruit in the face of so much interest and so many admirable attempts at its culti? vation. He says one cause of failure was "the want of proper supervision and the consequent incompctencg of teachers. But the controlling cause, he adds, of the failure of the free school system was, that its need was not felt by the people. (Italics and capitals ours). Now, Mr. Editor, these causes exist to-day?not strong enough to destroy our free schools, yet sufficient to seriously cripple their use? fulness. Our State Superintendent has been severely criticised. In fact, he and the poorly paid teachers have received the greater part of the public criticism. Let him and them be criticised. Such a course will do no barm, and may do good. But the responsibilty of proper supervision rests mainly upon the Dis? trict Trustees and the County School Commissioners?not upon tho State Su? perintendent. There are in the State 3,482 public schools. These average 4 months. (80 days) a year. Were the State Superintendent to visit one school a day, it would take him forty-three years to go round. But his critics say, and the law says, he should visit the counties. He has bo little authority over the county school officials that but few good results would follow. Colonel Thompson?in an annual re? port for 1881, p. 35?says: "County School Commissioners should be respon? sible to some authority, and should be liable to removal for neglect of duty." Last year Colonel Coward used his influ? ence and his authority to induce the respective County School Commissioners to make necessary arrangements, as the law authorizes them to do, for conduct? ing County Normal Institutes; yet but four counties, of the thirty-four, held such Institutes. To expect our Stale Superintendent to do all the "proper supervising" of our schools, would be as unreasonable as to expect the Comptroll? er General and the State Treasurer to do all the work of the County Auditors and County Treasurers. Let the people require this "proper supervision," but lot their, demand it from the local authori? ties, the District Trustees and County School Commissioners, who not only have time and authority to do this wort, but whom the law says shall do this duty. Cities that have well organized school systems employ a superintendent, who is usually an experienced teacher, and who. devotes all his time and attention to tho work of supervising tho schools?to teaching his teachers how to teaeh. Columbia has for her superintendent a practical teacher, and pays him well for ins services. His salary is two and a half times as large as any School Com? missioner's. Charleston's Superinten? dent has bad many years' experience in the schoolroom. Now he gives all his time to superintending the schools, and teachers, and pupils and patrons got the benefit of his large experience. These officers are electedby the City Board, to whose authority they are subject. If euch an officer is needed in cities, where larger salaries are paid, and where, as a couscquence, belter teachers can bo se? cured, how much more need is there of a competent superintendent in our country schools, where salaries are low, whei? much raw teacher-material is employed, where many young men and young women, who are anxious to learn modern methods but have no one to teach them, and working under many difficulties, teaching the children to read and write and to cipher out of the books of the grandparents, and after the manner of the paleozoic age of the profession. Proper supervision, and all other es? sentials of a first class system of free public (common) schools will be demand? ed, and secured, by our people whenever they are brought to feel the need of such a systerai How can they be brought to feel euch need ? An educational revivil is necessary. Every reader of this paper can help to work up such revival. If be is a friend of education, let him reafl, and think, and talk, and write aboft education. If a teacher, let him hate school celebrations in which the children can take part, and which the citizens of the community can attend. Let mep who can talk, and will talk education, address the people upon these occasion!. Let him write articles on common schools for his County paper. If the reader bea preacher let him talk education as he movas about among the people, discussit around the fireside in the winter and in the piazza in summer. Let him frcm his pulpit preach education?the right of every child to have an education?atd the interest, the right, the duty of tie I State?to place the privilege of a free common school within easy reach of every child in the State. An occasional sermon on such subjects would, to the average congregation, be about as inter? esting as, and much more help thania learned discourse on the "five points ef Calvinism," or on the..question, "Who was Melchisedec ?" Free schools are indeed "an outgrowth and an index of our Christian civilization." Is it not as appropriate for a preacher to preach on, to work for and to pray for, tne cause of popular education, as tho cause of prohibition ??Wm. S. Morri? son, in Southern Christian Advocate. Strange Restoration. An odd restitution was made at Spen cerville near Newport, last week, that contains all tho elements ot romance. For a good many years Mr. W. D. Spen? cer has been a citizen of Spencerville, coming there originally from Eastern Tennessee. Spencerville is a small town five miles from Newport, the latter city being located on the line of the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southeru rail? road. For i^any years Mr. Spencer-has pursued the business of farming and run? ning a store in Spencerville, and has, by business energy and thrift, accumulated a very comfortable fortune. He has become so identified with Spencerville and its interests that his neighbors have long since ceased to remember that he was not always a neighbor, and that he came to that County a stranger with an unknown history. Mr. Spencer never married, but pursued his bachelor way with quietne?" although several maiden ladies cherisht hopes from time to time that were never destined to ripen into the flowers of connubial bliss, and faded one by one as the envied object gathered more worldly goods from year to year. It can be imagined, therefore, how like a thunder-bolt from a clear sky the start? ling intelligence fell upon the community that two strangers, officers from Tennes? see, had arrived and had charged their respected townsmen with a crime com? mitted in Tennessee seventeen years before. But their astonishment became consternation when Mr. Spencer said to the officers: "Gentlemen, I am the mau you are after. The crime you charge me with, I committed." The officers informed him that they had come to take him back to Tennessee and let him suffer punishment for that which he had confessed ho had committed. Mr. Spencer then said?(an eye-witness related the story to a Qazettc reporter yes? terday evening:) "Seveuteen years ago, when I was a mere boy, two other young men and my? self in a drunken spree broke into u store in our town in Tennessee and robbed it of $800 in money. We divided the mon? ey and ran away. I was wild and reck? less, but I was not a thief, and before God I do not think I could have been persuaded iuto this crime if I had been sober. But we took the money and tho shadow of the crime has haunted my life ever since. I have tried to live down my conscience in this quiet and peaceful place, but I have not been able to do so. I am glad you have come, and am ready to go with you. I want to make full restitution for what I did seventeen years ago. I have made money, and want to pay back all of that blood money. I want to pay the $800, although the other boys got part of it, and interest on it for seventeen years. It is all I can do. Nothing will clear my heart of thestaiu, but I can at least restore this money." Mr. Spencer then figured out the inter? est on the total amount of the stolen money, and paid over to the officers over $2,000, and to that extent wiped out the past. "Now, gentlemen," he said, "I don't want you to keep this secret. I want everybody to know that I have been a. \ thief. It is my expiation. I want them to know that I have done all in my pow? er before God to efface my crime. If I suffer in the eyes of my neighbors, it is j just. I have deserved it." The informant of the reporter said that this quiet but pathetic acccptauce of his fate visibly affected the officers of the law, who stood there with a requisition from Governor Hughes to take a prisoner back to his old home. Their eyes became moist at the spectacle of the agony of the lonely bachelor whom wealth could not make happy, and felt that his life was a failure. They conferred amon" themselves, and decided that they would not proceed further. The money hud been recovered with long years of inter? est. Mr. Spencer had been punished. His conscience had been a severe judge. And after a few hours they left Spencer? ville and returned to Tenuessee, leaving Speucer freer and happier than he had been for seventeen years.?Arkansas Ga? zette. An Aged Call". The following i3 a good story concern iug a town-bred curate, who had consent? ed to do duty on Sunday for hi3 friend, the rector of a country parish iu the Midlands. The subject of the morning sermon was the parable of tho prodigal son; and, in the hope of impressing upon his hearers the joy which the pa? triarch felt on the return of his son, as instanced by his ordering the fatted calf to be killed, thp young curate felt a par? donable pride in dwelling 'ipon a subject which could not fail to be comprehensi? ble to the dullest plowboy in the congre? gation. "Remember," he said, "this was no ordinary calf which was to be killed ; it was no common calf or beast suffering from murrain, no half-starved calf slowly awaiting death. No, it was not merely a fatted calf, but" (becomingmore impres? sive) "it was the fatted calf, which had been prized and loved by tho family for many years." A sea of wide eyes and gaping mouths arrested for a mo? ment the eloquence of Lhc fledgeling par? son, and in the next there was such a chuckling and grins and fluttering of old heads below as had not been wit? nessed, even in the memory of the sex? ton, for more than "many years." ? The oflice sec-kc-rs have almost wholly left Washington, and tho hotel offices that they frequented are becoming lonely. Not over twenty Congressmen remain at the capital. ? None of the cotton factories near Petersburg, Va.,'which shut down some months ago, have resumed work, except the Maloaca mills, and there arc no in? dications that they will du so soon. The Great Society War. The simmering of the social stew which is to bo served piping hot next December may already be distinctly heard at times. Il begins with the dis? position to be made of the lady of the White House, Miss Cleveland. There seems to be do intention to resort to vio? lence, as has sometimes been done at White Houae receptions. Miss Cleve? land is to be permitted at the White House to be the first lady of the land. But there, according to the law of the social female Congress now in secret ses? sion, her dominion is to end. Outside of the Executive Mansion and grounds the Vice-President's wife is to rank as first and the President's sister second. The second in importance amoDg the already celebrated cases pending is that of Miss Bayard, the daughter of the Secretary of State, who, when her mother is ill, as? sumes her duties. This is not to be en? dured by the wives of other Cabinet of? ficers. Wives are to come before sisters and daughters, even though their hus? bands be somewhat lower in station. The exact status of Mrs. Blaine as the lady of the defeated candidate for the Presidency has not yet been decided upon; but if it is not somewhere high enough up to create c >ranotion and re? sistance it will be because James G. has forgotten his diplomacy and Gail Hamil? ton her love of mischief. The women of the country will certainly be treated to their full share of entertainment in the settlement of great questions next Win ten Mingled with the debates on tariff revision and silver coinage will come over the wires exciting details of battle raging to establish the order in which the wives of official nabobs shall smile at those below them, and gaze with unaf? fected wonder upon some of those above. Jeffersonian simplicity may do for bluff old fellows like Garland, Randall and the President himself; but a little of it goes a great way among the gentler sex. ? New York Sun. How a Lover Lost His Lady. Two young ladies were overheard talking glibly and confidentially on a suburban train. "Now, Mary," said one, "tell me why Charlie and you quarreled." "Well, you know he's been coming to see me for two years, and I could see just as plain as anybody else that he was head over heels in love with me. But he didn't seem to have any snap to him, and I got real impatient, just as any girl would have done. A few nights before Christmas he called to see me, and before he went away I said: "Charlie, I want to make you a Christmas present, but I want to be sure it will suit you. It is something real nice, warm, useful and ornamental, and will always stay with you." "A scarf?" be said." "No, not a scarf," I said, "though it might embrace you. It weighs about a hundred pounds, and I've heard you say you thought it very precious." "Oh, I know," he said, "a bicycle." By this time I was nearly mad, but I made one more effort. "Not a bicycle," I said, "but it can walk, has a mouth, pretty hair, aud is very affection? ate." "Now I know," he said, and what do you think the ninny guessed that time? A big Newfoundland dog! I was Dever so disgusted in my life, and have not seen Charlie since. He's treat? ed me real mean, and now leap year is gone, and I hate him. Oh, there he is now at the other end of the car. Ain't he sweet ? I wish he would come and i talk to us." Fearful Talc. A fearful story is that told by a dia? gram in the Christian Union comparing the annual expenditure bf the United States for intoxicating liquors with vari? ous other of the largest items of expen? ditures, based upon the census reports of 1880 and other reliable authorities. The amounts thus given are: "Liquor, $900,000,000; bread, $505, 000,000; meat, $303,000,000; iron and steel, $290,000,000 ; woolen poods, $237, 000,000; sawed lumber, $232,000,000; cotton goods, $210,000,000; boots and shoes, $190,000,000 ; sugar and molasses, $155,000,000 ; public education, $85,000, 000; Christian missions, Hume and For? eign, $5,500,000. It will be seen from these figures that nearly twice as much is spent annually for liquors as for bread, the staff of life, and nearly three times as tnuoh as for woolen or cotton good?, and one hundred and sixty-three times as much as is given for the extension of the Gospel. What a fearful revelation this is, and what a danger it threatens to the life of our country. Our Great Inventions. The fifteeu great American inventions of world-wide adoption are: 1.

Black, commissioner of pensions, has declined to obey Secretary Lamar's order to sell his horse aud carriage. Gen. Black is reported as saying: "The Re? publicans have been riding for twenty four long years. Now I am goiDg to ride." Not Dead "Yet. Atlanta papers nrc giving the public some curi? ous and wonderful cose* that arc quite interesting. It seems that a youug lady of Atlanta had been re? ported as dead, but it came to the cars of the At? lanta Jottrnal that she was still alive, aud Dein;; on the alert for news, a reporter was sent to the resi? dence to loarn all the facts. Miss Helle Duuaway, who had been pronounced dead, met him at the door, stoutly denying that she was dead. Sho said: "For four years, rheumatism and neuralgia have resisted physicians and all other treatment. My muscles seemed to dry up, my ^llcih shrank away, my joints were swollen, painful and large, lost my appetite, was reduced to GO pounds la weight and for months, was expected to die. I commenced tin use of I). B. B. and the action of one-half a bottle convinced my friends that it would cure me. Its effect was like magic. It gave me an nppotito ?gavel ine strength, relieved all pains and aches, added Utah to my bones, and when live bottles had been used I had gained ?D pounds of flesh, and I am to-day sound and well." IS IT A LIE? Komo ono said that Potash was a poison. Who makes the assertion except those who desire to mislead and humbug you? He who denounces other remedies as Fkauds, is quietly ollcrin? a vile compound of his own?beware of all such.

April !>, 18S5 3!) 5 Warren Leland, whom overybody knows as tho successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, says that while a passenger from New York on board a ship going around Capo Horn, in the early days of emigration to Cal? ifornia, ho lcarucd that one of the of?cors of the vessel had cured himself, during tbo voy? age, of au obstinate discaso by tbo uso of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Sinco then Sir. Leland has recommended aver's Satis a tau iL la in many similar cases, and ho has never yet heard of its fail? ure to ciTcct a radical cure. Some years ago one of Mr. Leland's farm laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad State of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling Or lump appeared on the injured limb.
