^A?H^^OIrUMN, j. G. CLLNKSCALES, Editob. Has any young man read a book since the close of school that has made him a more thoughtful or more earnest man? If so, we wonld be glad to have him drop us a note mentioning the book and stat? ing briefly its merits. The effort to do this concisely and correctly will do him good, and others may be induced thereby to read tho book and receive like benefit. We are grateful.to Judge Murray for the manly plea he made for Anderson at the recent meeting of the State Board of Examiners. Every argument that could ba presented in favor of Anderson's hav? ing the Normal was made, and the Judge tells us he was very sure we would get it ' until the result of the last ballot was de? clared. The honorable gentieraen of the Board may have chosen wisely?let us -:fwaifc and see. Every young man in the land ought to read Holland's "Titcomb's Letters." The book ought to be in every family. Every letter is brim full of plain, practi? cal, hard-sense suggestions. The average young mau may there find a true picture of himself, and the girls may see them? selves as they are'. The history of Miss Julia Aurelia Atkins Green is being re? peated every day, and counterfeits of less i value than the counterfeit dollar may be found in almost any community without very great difficulty. Get the book and read what Dr. Holland says about Miss Julia Aurelia Atkins Green. E. K. Hardin, the former popular . principal of the male school at William? ston, is now a full fledged M. D. Dr. Hardin graduated from Woflbrd College in 73, and was regularly engaged in teaching up to the time be commenced tho study of medicine. With his fine classical education, many years experi? ence in teaching; and an unusual amount of hard common sense, we predict for him abundant success in his chosen pro? fession. ; At any rate, if he succeeds as well at healing the bodies of men as he did at training the minds and hearts of boys, his presence will be a blessing to - any community. His old friends and former patrons at Batesburg extend to .him a hearty welcome. Well, we surrender. The Normal" : "School is "to go to "Charleston. That is the decision of the State Board of Ex? aminers. While we are fully persuaded that the Board has made a mistake, we are earnestly, desirous that many of our teachers shall make a strong effort to attend the school. Of course we feel disappointed. Before the meeting of the Board, we were hopeful of a decision in favor of Anderson. Outside of a little natural selfishness which made us want the school at Anderson, and which we trust is excusable, we do not think Charleston is the place for it, all things considered. However, the decision is made, the place is fixed, and it is now too late to offer objections. Let us enter as heartily as possible into the spirit and ' intention of the Board and at least hope for the success of th" enterprise. We have long doubted the propriety of allowing children to read newspapers promiscuously and recklessly. Every family ought to have a good Christian journal and at least one or two well selected secular papers. Nowadays, many secular papers are wholly unfit to occupy a place in a decent family. In? deed, it is difficult to get a paper that contains nothing objectionable in some respect. The editor's readers are com? posed of all sorts of people. The minds of men thirst for the detailed account of horrible* crimes and just such stuff as will distract the mind and corrupt the heart of innocent youth. Let every thought? ful .parent see that his children get as little as possible of such reading matter, and when their eyes do happen to fall upon something objectionable in itself, let the parent try to draw from it some good lesson that will at least balance or restrain its distracting influences. Miss Minerva Drake writes, May 7: "It gives me much pleasure to report favorably from the method of transcrib? ing paragraphs by the reading classes. It cultivates the faculties for observation and trains to exactness. The lack of black-board capacity has been removed by the means you suggested, and now we figure promiscuously in all recitations which require the use thereof. We have also adopted tho pass-book plan, and some of them are yet without correction. We are beginning to talk about ceiling the school-house, and meet encourage? ment from the patrons to whom I have spoken. All wish you had visited us sooner, that we might have enjoyed the benefit of your visit earlier. A welcome greeting is in store for you when you come again?then we hope to be able to prove the fruits of your last call. For two weeks my attendance has been re? duced by the measles claiming many pupils as victims, but hope to be relieved from this biudrance soon." county nobmal. Some of our teachers can attend the State Normal, but many of them cannot. For the benefit of those who cannot, we propose to have some time duiing the Summer a County Normal. The State provides for it and the Superintendent of Education urges the School Commis? sioners to organize Normal Schools in their respective Counties. We propose to make the effort, and feel confident that much good can be accomplished if we can engage the services of competent teachers. i: REVIEWS AND EXAMINATIONS. Last week, at our request, Miss Leuora Hubbard sent to us a batch of examina? tion papers. We do not intend to give them undue praise nor deal in "taffy," as the boys call it; but suffice it to say, they are the best papers of the kind we have ever seen from children so young. They exhibit not only a respectable ac? quaintance with the various subjects, but an exactness that ought to be aimed at \>j every teacher and student. These written examinations do good. They impress what is already learned, and at the same time show the standing of the Btudent. Some teachers review their classes every week. Reviews are abso? lutely necessary. You know your name better than any other, perhaps, because you have beard it called so often. Re? view and examine. THE NEW PRONOUN. I notice that some of the correspon? dents of the Constitution are reaching out altera new pronoun, one of the common fender and singular number. Professor )ozier suggests se, sis, sim for the singu? lar number of such a pronoun ; another writer hae and haiu. I strongly suspect we already have such a pronoun and have bad it in daily use for ages, one, too, that is far prefera? ble to those suggested. True it has uot yet gotten- into the grammars and dic? tionaries, but our grammarians and dic? tionary-makers are very conservative and often positively stupid. Some years ago a little girl said to mo "some body's come." "Who is it?" said I; "man or wo? man ?" "I ain't agoing to tell you who it is ; they come awhile ago:" Now this young lady did uot hesitate to use "they" for the singular number and common or indefinite gender. If there was anything outre or grotesque iu ber usage of the word, I did not feel it. The Professor would have said "se came awhile ago." This se would be easily mistaken for she, and would, if for no other reason, be very objectionable on that account. If any one will keep their ears open, they will find this use of "they" in daily practice amoug the peo? ple. It has crept into literature, also, and its use is so natural to the genius of our language that' hardiy one in a hundred has noticed it as an intrusion. Mr. Pick? wick once got lost in a hotel and entered another room than bis own and was un? dressing behind the bed curtains. To Mr. Pickwick's horror, some person en? tered the room. Mr. Dickens, the writer, does not wish the reader to know whether the person entering is a man or a woman. That point is the climax of the story, and .must be reserved to the last. So Mr. Dickens says that the person bad come in so suddenly that Mr. Pickwick "had no time to oppose tbeir entrance." After various maneuvers Pickwick got sight of-the person, and it was an old maid I Richard Grant White says we ueed no such pronoun, but nine-tenths of the enjoyment of the above story would be lost if "her" had been used in the place of. "their" to designate the person. Years ago persons wrote to Mr. White suggesting this use of "they.." We find it iu actual use in both Eogland and America. And I think we may as well admit it into the grammars. Our prououas "they, them and their," are from the Anglo Saxon demonstrative. The forms from which "their" and "them" cone are both found in the singular as .well as iu the plural; and iu the Northumbrian dialect,.the nomina? tive singular was "the" pronounced just as "they" is now. The old Saxon was "thie" in the singular. We have in English the article "the" in the singular, which is derived from the same word as "they." And I rather suspect that the people have for age3 used "they" in the singular whenever they had to have a pronoun of the common gender and sing? ular number. I have so used it twice iu this article, and I doubt whether one in tea has noticed it. It is so natural that I predict it. can never'be supplemented by any artificial production.?C. K. Middox, in Atlanta Constitution. Divorces of the World. TLe following particulars as to the methods of securing divorces in different countries are interesting-: SlAitESE.?The first wife may be divorced, not sold, as the others may be. She then may claim the first, third and fifth child, and the alternate children are yielded to the husband. Aectic Region.?When a man desires -a divorce he leaves the house iu anger and does Le t return for several days. The wife understands the hint, packs her clothes, and ieaves. Tabtabs.?The husband may put away his partner and seek auother when it pleases him, ,md the wife may do the same. If she be ill-treated she complains to the magistrate, who, attended by the principal people, accompanies her to the house and pronounces a formal divorce. Chinese?Divorces are allowed in all cases of criminality, mutual dislikes, jealousy, incompatibility of temper, or too much loquacity on the part of the wife. The husband cannot sell his wife until she leave * him and becomes a slave to him by action of the law for desertion. A sou is bound :o divorce his wife if she displeases his parents. Jews.?In oldtn times the Jews had a discretionary power of divorcing their wive3. Japans.?If the wife be dissatisfied she caa "obtain a d:vorce by paying a certaiu sum. Thibetans.?Divorces are seldom allowed, unless with the consent of both parties, neither of whom can afterwards' re-marry. Moobs.?If the wife does uot become a mother of a boy, she may be divorced with the consent of the tribe, and she can ru^.ry again. Abyssinians? No form of marriage is necessary. The connection may be dissolved aad renewed as often as the parties think proper. Sibebians.?It the man be dissatisfied ; with the most trifling acts of his wife, bo tears her cap or veil from her head, and this constitutes a divorce. Core ans.?The husband can divorce bis wife, and leave her the charge of maintaining the children ; if she proves unfaithful he can put ber to death. Dbtjse and Tuekoman?Among these people, if a wife asks her husband's permissiou to go out and if he says "go," without adding "but come back again," she is divorced. Though both parties desire it they cannot live together with? out being re-married. Cochin-Chinese?If the parties , choose to separate, they break a pair of chop-sticks or a copper coin iu the pres? ence of witnesses, by which action the union is dissolved. The husband must restore to the wife the property belonging' to her prior to her marriage. American Indians.?Amoug some tribes the pieces of sticks given to the witnesses of the marriage are burnt as a sign of divorce. Usually new connec? tions are formed without the old ones being dissolved. A man never divorces his wife if she has borne him *ons.? Leeds Mercury. Not an Adamlcss Etleu. Three up town married men made up their minds quietly without telling their wives, Saturday night, that they would go to the "Adamlcss Eden" show. The women got an inkling of their intention, and made up their minds to keep their husbands home. One of them arranged for a little tea party. They all went to the tea party, the men whispering to each other that when they went out to smoke at half-past 7 they would walk over to Music Hall. They reckoned without their wives, however, for when they started to leave the house they could find neither hats, canes nor overcoats. The wives had hidden them away. When they went back to the parlors, they kept very quiet about it, and when finally the women were unable to conceal their mirth, they had the effrontery to say that they hadn't the slightest idea of leaving the hoi?e.?Kingston {N. }'.) Freeman. The Sing of the Swindlers. The simple entry on the returns from the detective bureau at police headqunt ters yesterday, "Henry R. Lawrence, twenty-seven years, German, speculator, arrested for larceny,represents the tem? porary winding up of a career that has few parallels in the annals of crime. Lawrence was brought to this city yes? terday morning by Detective McCluskey, having been arrested two weeks ago in Chicago at the instination of Thomas Quinlan, an Englishman, who says that I he and his brother arrived in this city last September, having made the ac? quaintance of Lawrence on board the steamer. Upon their arrival he steered them to the hotel Devonshire, where Thomas Quinlan deposited his funds, amounting to $950, in the safe and took a receipt for them. Lawrence took the brother around and out of town as far as Poughkeepsie, managing to leave the im? pression upon them that he was a person of distinguished connection. On the second day after their arrival Thomas had a business appointment with his uncle. Before sunrise that morning Lawrence aroused Quinlan in the hotel after having first possessed himself of the receipt for Quinlan's deposit in the hotel safe, and made him go with him to Central Park to enjoy the morning air. It was nearly 10 o'clock before Quinlan remembered his engagement and hurried off to his uncle's house. When Lawrence had seen him tafely,on the way he went back to the hotel, presented the receipt, drew the money and took a steamer back to Europe the same day. On the way over he added to his money by playing an. unsuspecting fellow traveller a similar trick, and then leisurely made a tour of the continent, returning to America a month or two since. Inspector Byrnes had, meanwhile, sent circulars describing the swindler to all the large cities in the Union, asking for his arrest, It was developed that Law? rence's real name is Adolph A. H. Kleecamp, and that he was originally a Chicogoan. He married a Miss Taylor, of Rochelle, 111., and soon after commit? ted bigamy in Los Angelos by marrying Nellie Richards, the daughter of a wealthy resident of that place. By forgery and swindling he possessed him? self of over $20,000 in the California town and ran away to San Francisco. In San Francisco he posed as a member of a firm of jewellers in Los Angelos and added $0,000 to bis ill-gotten gains. Having sought out his deluded second wife on the pretense of explaining all, but really to rob her of all she bad, he fled, leaving ber destitute, and this time went as far as Chicago, where he boarded in great style at one hotel after another, swindling them all. When that locality became too hot for him he journeyed to New York and found employment with Horace B. Wioston, a publisher, at No. 234 Broadway. At the end of four months he collected $700 due his em? ployer and left suddenly. Asa canvas? ser he had been Harry R. Sheldon. In a single night he became Lord Pembroke, and as such took passage for Europe on the steamer Belgenland. Among his fellow passengers there wns a young St. Looisian, the son of a banker 'in the western city, to whom the "Lord" attached: himself, with the result that when the two reached Paris "Lord Pem? broke" had the young man's draft for $5,000 in his pocket. He lost no time in cashing it at his bankers. To spare the young man the remorse of confess ing to his father that he had been robbed, Kleecamp considerately cabled the fact himself to St. Louis, and added that he was iu need of money. When it came in shape of another draft, he cashed that also and left the town, leav? ing father and son to come to an under? standing by cable. It was on his return from this European trip that his evil fate led him back to Chicago, where Thomas Quinlan met him in the street and caused his arrest. Requisition papers were sent on from New York but the prisoner made a stubborn fight. There are nu? merous warrants for hi3 arrest beside those already mentioned. He is wanted in Indianapolis and in Kausas City for swindling. In the former city he was arrested in an attempt to cash a forged check, but escaped from his captors. When caught in Chicago he was on the point of starting for New Orleans. Law? rence, alias Kleecamp, is a handsome swell in appearance, with a long, silky blonde moustache. He is 6 feet tall, slender and very well dressed. He speaks five languages fluently. His picture was taken and placed in the rogues' gallery. Inspector Byrnes took the prisoner before Recorder Smyth at noon yesterday. He pleaded guilty and was committed for examination.? New York World. How tho World Digs. In northern Mexico a crooked slick, drawn by oxen or a mule, scratches the ground a little as a preparatory move before planting or sowing. Hoes are heavy, awkward tools. Reaping is done with sickles, and thrashing by treading out. In Manzanillo uot a single fanner manures his fields. With a simple iron pointed stick they bore the holes in the ground and the seedKcom is cast in. Iu a few days the young Beed shoots up, and with it innumerable weeds, which are removed by hand. Farmers complain that American plows are too heavy to lift. They prefer oxen, because horses make them walk too fast. The ax, the hoe and the plow consti? tute the agricultural implements in Cen? tral America, and especially in Honduras. These are mostly of English or German make, being cheaper than those manu? factured in America. The most of the cultivation on farms in Brazil, and especially where there is slave labor, is with the hoe, an imple? ment weighing from two to five pounds each, and mostly imported from Eng I land, in barrels, ten dozen to a barrel. One firm in Rio de Janeiro imports 1, 500 barrels a year from England, and the same firm estimate that 600,000 hoes are imported and disposed of annnally in Brazil. An American merchant in Japan says he has tried to sell nearly every descrip? tion of American implements, but with? out success. Now he has a stock iu his warehouse which has been on hand for fifteen years. Farm labor is so cheap that it is practically impossible to UDder bid it with labor-saving machinery. Male field hands work twelve hours a day, have five holidays in each month and receive their food, lodging?, and wages ranging from $8.60 to $12.90 per year. Female laborers work the same hours, are not entitled to holidays, and receive, beside their food and lodging, about $6 per annum. Iu China even an apology for a shovel is seldom to be met with, while the hoe is a long narrow and heavy blade used for almost all purposes. The plow is a rough and clumsy affair, with only one "stilt" and only the point shod with iron. Threshing is performed as in the time of Moses, by spreading the sheaves on an earthen threshing floor and driving un? muzzled cattle over the grain to tread it out. The African farmers are Dutchmen or decendants of Dutchmen. They still adhere to the old style farm wagon of twenty five years ago, the motive power of which is furnished by teams of four? teen oxen or ten mules. These vehicles are capable of carrying a dead weight of hot less than eight tons. Throughout nearly all of Europe, the consuls say, modern machines are being aseA.?Philidclph ia Prcxs. ? "A scientist says that the way to sleep is to think of nothing," rend Mrs. Smith in a newspaper. "If that be true I should say lhat you would sleep all the lime, my dear," said her husband. "No doubt, Mr. Smith, for I think a great t deal of you." Workman's Automatic Press. This prc3s, casually mentioned some time ago in this column, is certainly an iugenious contrivance, and deserves fu: ther notice. It is entirely new in every particular, and something novel in the way of a press, the work being done by means of rollers. It is automatic, as the name indicates. It feeds from the throat of the gin, puts on and fastens the bag? ging and ties, and ejects the bale without the cotton being handled after passing into the gin. Immediately after the bale has been thrown out, it readjusts itself, and, without a minute of lost time, goes on packing the next bale. The machin? ery is exceedingly simple and easily adjusted. While the weight is much less than the ordinary cotton press, it is made with an eye to strength and endurauce. That it occupies a little less thau one half the Bpace usually taken up by press? es, is another advantageous point about it. With all of these advantages the cost will not be more than any first-class press upon the market. The capacity is equal to the capacity of any gin, aud could be made to excel even this. Mr. Workman is a native of Laurens County, ?and claims, and not without grounds, that he was the first man who conceived the idea of the telephone. We hope for Mr. Workman's sake, and for the sake of others interested, that his press will be a success.?Laurens Herald. Ho>? a Kentucky Editor Larrups the Southern Baptist Convention^ Two ladies applied to the Southern Baptist Convention, now in session at Augusta, Ga., for admission as lady dele? gates, and were refused on the ground that the day has not arrived for that. Wbeu will it arrive? Women support themselves in every branch of industry. They write well for the press and can go to the case and put in type the matter they have written; they write short-hand and transcribe their notes on the type? writer ; they are capable telegraph opera? tors; they are the best teachers ourj younger children have; they arc mer chants aud clerks, mechanics and sewing girls; they support themselves, their) children, and many, many times, their, drunken, worthless husbands. They are the steadfast, earnest friends and sup? porters of the church; its strongest pil? lars, its most beautiful columns. They were first at the Cross and last at the Grave. Will the Southern Baptist Con ventiou tell us when our mothers, our wives, our pisters, our daughters, will have reached that sublimated state which will justify their admission into the councils of an institution which they have done more, and are doing more, >to sustain than all the other human beings on earth? It would be interesting to know when this premillennial movement j in behalf of woman is to begin.?Louis? ville Times. ? A young Boston lady writes to the Boston Post: "How should a young man kiss me ?" No young man will kiss a Boston girl at all unless he wishes to freeze to death. "What ails you?" asked tho man; "I see you arc a sufferer, nnd enn scarcely get nlong." "Oh, you sec," replied tho monkey, "'ray nnidder she had what you call scrofula, very much scrofu? la, my farder, he had heap sores, some big, some little sored, long time.
