EXAMINATION OF TEACHEBS.
The regular examination of teachers
will take place in the Military Academy
on the first Friday and Saturday in July
?the whites on Friday and the colored
on Saturday, Let this be remembered
and let, candidates for certificates meet
the Examining Board at 9 o'clock a. m. I
Several colored teachers, holding certifi?
cates given by the Examining Boards of
other counties and endorsed by our own,
. have not given satisfaction: all colored
teachers holding such certificates must
meet the Board at the regular examina?
tion if they propose to teach any more
In Anderson County. One or two white
teachers, holding such certificates, and
failing to give satisfaction, will be ad?
vised through the mail to meet the Board
at the same time.

be held at Aiken this year. Col. Cow?

to .manage the^ajk^^^^^joo doubt,
every attention' necessary to make it a
success will be given it. We hope some
of our colored- teachers may be able to
attend.
SCHOOL-HOUSE AT GJEEB'S SHOP.
- - ?-'-' ? -? -it
Deputy Sheriff, Wm. Geer, is making
some good, honest efforts to build a
school-house at Goer's Shop, about four
miles east of Anderson. He has a saw
mill, and has made very liberal proposi?
tions to the citizens of that community.
We hope he may meet the encourage
. ment and ud that the character of the
enterprise merits. We want' more good
school-houses. ? It seems to us that one
iu that community is a necessity.
COUNTY NOBMAL.
;" After the meeting of the Examining j
Board in July, we hope to be able to an?
nounce the time for holding the County
Normal. At present we are negotiating
with several Normal Teachers. Out of
the number we hope to secure the ser
.. vices of, one or more competent to make
the Normal a success. While the school
i? in progress, no public school will be j
^allowed to run. It is intended for the,
benefit of the teachers, and they must
attend if attendance lies within the
range of possibility.

to start your children to school , there
again without making one honest effort
to improve its condition or appearance?
Can't you give ten day's work to it after

you ever spoken to neighbor "B" about
it, and does he fall in with your plans, or
suggest any new onea himself? Can't
yon get up a little feeling on the subject ?
If you'-want to see every phase of
character, just witness a match game of
baseball. . Nowhere is character more
plainly marked than on a play-ground.
All that is low or mean in a boy or man
will then show itself, while all that is
noble, true and magnanimous in his
neighbor will assert its presence. To
taunt or jeer your unfortunate antagon?
ist in a friendly contest is the conduct of ]
a dastard, while courteous treatment
under all circumstances is the character?
istic of a gentleman. Boys, remember
^thatever/look, every word; every act-is
a letter that helps to spell character.
It was our lot to witness only the first
of the Commencement exercises of the
Anderson Female Seminary. If one
may judge from the large audience on
that occasion, both the Commencement
x ~ . h
exercises and the institution itself are
appreciated by our community. The
Kev. Mr. Bell's address to the young
ladies was thoughtful and suggestive,
and) we hope, will bring forth abundant

ty could have heard it. We hope it may
be our privilege to read Judge Bleckley's
poem, as we failed to hear it from the
lips of the distinguished autbor; \ Let
our people give this institution the sup?
port it deserves.
COUNTY TEACHEBS' CONVENTION.
Notwithstanding we look with consid?
erable anxiety to the good results of the
proposed Normal School, let us not sup?
pose that it can do every thing for us
thai is needed. Without waiting to con?
sult the other members of the Examining
Board, we propose a Teachers' Conven?
tion. It need not last longer than two
days?three at most. A general and un?
restrained interchange of ideas, a free
discussion of the plans, modes aud va?
rious tactic.-! practiced by the teachers
could result iu nothing but lasting good
to the teachers aud to the community in
which the Convention is held. Is there
a community in Anderson County that j
would entertain the white teachers for
three days? We do not hesitate to
affirm that a Convention of the teachers
would be a blessing to any community.
Such conventions in other counties have
thrown new life and new vigor into
sleeping souls, and aroused latent ener?
gies that have stirred not only their own
neighborhoods, but others ai well, radiat?
ing and reaching out to the remotest
sections of the County. What commu?
nity, then, will send us an invitation to
hold our first County Teachers' Conven-1
tion with them ? We hope to have sev?
eral invitations to present to the Board
at the meeting in July. The Convention
will be held in July or August when the j
crops are laid by, and when such a meet?
ing will be a recreation and a pleasure to
all concerned. What community, then,
will entertain the Convention? We
promise you value received. It has been
our privilege to attend several conven?
tions, and we have invariably gone away
feeling improved as a teacher and as a
?iend to education, and the neighbor?
hood, whose hospitality we enjoyed,
always asked for a return of the Conven?
tion the next year. You always enjoy
your Union Meetings, Quarterly Meet?
ings, Singing Conventions, etc. We
promise to'make the Teachers' Conven?
tion an occasion of no less enjoyment or
profit. .^Send us yonr invitation through
your trustees or the pastor of your
church. ' Yonr church would perhaps
better accommodate the Convention than
"your'sohdol-honse. Tle'ase let ns hear
from yon, if you want the Convention.
Open and Secret Drinking:>
When rum loses its traditions of con?
viviality it loses all the poetry, all the
charm that is claimed for it by the vota?
ries of Bacchus. The roystering drinker,
the "good fellow" who scatters half bis
week's pay on the beer-stained bar of a
Saturday night, and allows his family to
suffer for want of food, is yet possessed
of this charm of good fellowship. He
makes his ran swigging an excuse to as?
semble coteries of "good fellows" of the
. same calibre as himself.. Without the
good fellowship, without comrades who
will chat and exchange banter with him
at the bar or at the beer tables, his tipple
loses its taste. Solitary drunkenness
would be to such a drunkard an absolute
torture. It is rum as a provocation of
wit and a promoter of good fellowship,
that bos a charm for him. And the one
is inseparable from the other. The sight
of a friend and the grasp of his hand
suggests as the first thought, "Let's have
a drink." On the other hand, thirst
makes the proposition, "Where can I
find a friend to drink with me ?" These
men are the open and above-board drink?
ers. It is they who are held up as fright?
ful examples by the temperance agitators
and the church, who are the sworn foes
of bar-rooms and the saloon-keepers.
But there- is another class of drinkers'
more numerous, than; those whojj hang?
over the bar %?d laugh away their lives.
It is the sly class who slink through the
side doors all alone and have their rum
handed to them in the seclusion of dark
corners. The element of good fellowship
does not spice then tipple. All is gross
?love, of eliguor for it? taste and secrecy
withal. The consciousness that the tip
prompts only schemes of concealment.
They have reputations to lose, and they
prefer to sacrifice their honor and the
joys of illogical world puts a premium on
such sneaking pretences, and holds up
to honor the man who acts a lie if he is
only smart enough to prevent him being
found out.
How cunning they are, these aly tip?
plers,' after their long practice In deceit I
How they learn to give drug clerks a
vinous wink at the soda fountain ! Why,
it's a perfect art. And when the marks
of their potations begin to make their
unmistakable manifestations on their
countenances, how carefully they close
all the avenues of assault! How slick
they are at evading questions. Now
where a chnrohman has red eyes and a
nervous tremor that in any one else
wonld be interpreted to mean that he
had had a night with the boys, he escapes
with the explanation that this is the
season when hay 'fever comes on him.
-And when you see him next with a bul?
bous nose all pimpled o'er with the lurid
marks of Bacchus, he will tell yon that
he is suffering from nose cold, another of
the trifling fashionable ailments of the
time. There is no use; you can't nail
these sly drinkers; bot they take lots of
trouble and lose lots of time, and die
drunkards in the end, just as the "good
fellows" do. The only difference is that
most of them keep their masks on while
they die, and indeed they often have
their masks buried with them, to deceive
the world. If there is any consolation
all's well and good, but we think on the
whole the "good fellow" who drinks
openly, without hypocrisy, and for the
conviviality and camaraderie of the bar
as well as for the effects of the poison,
has the better of the game all through,
He is the preferable person, in our opin?
ion, in every way, taking him as a man,
all through. There can be no doubt of
that?. "The "good fellow" is to be pitied
and guided aright. The other one de?
serves only exposure aud scorn.?New

" ~"Doan' look fur infallibility in de hu?

arose and looked down upon the circle
of bald-heads in a fatherly way. "We
has all got our off-days an' our weak

Fust we know he slips a cog. He am

an' howl ober his downfall as if it war

bekase we bad gin him too many vartues.
He couldn't hold up under all of 'em.

A Reformed Convict.
Six years and three months ago,
Charles W. Angell was arrested, in Illi?
nois, for embezzlement. He was tried,
convicted and sentenced to the peniten?
tiary for a term of ten years. Because of
exemplary good conduct while a convict,
he cut down his limit of incarceration to
less than seven years. He was made
Superintendent of the prison marble yard
and, being a skilled accountant, perform?
ed the duties of his position with skill
and fidelity. He is now a free man.
No favors were bestowed upon,him as a
convict, nor did he ask any. Ho began
with ihe rudimentary processes of stone
cutting and worked himself up, by per?
sistent labor, to a most responsible post.
So expert has ho become, and so thor?
oughly has he expiated his crime, that,
immediately upon the expiration of his
sentence, he was engaged by the peniten?
tiary contractors, at a large salary, to
remain in charge of their business as its
general manager.
The deputy warden said of him : "In
my fifteen years' experience I have never
known a man with so great a talent for
making friends?among prisoners and
officers alike. We would part with ? him
with genuine regret if he were really
going away. As it is, we rejoice with
him upon his emancipation."
Mr. Angell has bad a chastening expe?
rience. It has been a remarkable one,
because in a majority of cases, men like
him become desperate or hardened, losing
hope and courage. Not one person in
i ten thousand would accept, as he did,
incarceration in that spirit of discipline
which makes a better man of the offender,
and, may be, a stepping stone to heaven
itself.
Of himself Mr. Angell said:
"At 6 o'clock to-night the past becomes
a closed book; why open it 1 I came
here over six years ago in obedience to a
sentence whose justice I admitted and
.still " admit." Since then I have paid the
.extreme penalty of the ,law and have
expiated so far as it Is possible the offen
1 ses of the past. I have asked no favors,
made no complaint, and make none now.
I simply thank God that I have found it
possible, by unrelenting devotion to dep?
uty, to make a place, even here; . I begin
the world, financially at least, just as I
did twelve years ago?with nothing
'except a number of friends whose true
hearted kindness seems to me now to be
worth the six years I spent here. I ask
for nothing now except to be left alone;
to have the same chance as any other
man."
. That is modest, manly, pathetic. We
have no doubt that, in God's providence,
this man has redeemed himself, and
1 should so stand before the- world. That
be did not lack friends who appreciated
his repentance and expiation is credita?
ble to the human race, which is not al?
ways the unrelenting and implacable
monster depicted by Victor Hugo, in the
character of Jean Valjean and his pur?
suers. It is not likely that Mr. Angell
will push himself forward or seek to
attract the public eye unduly. Nor is it
at all likely that be will ever again yield
to the temptations that made him a felon.
He has shown himself worthy of trust,
and will not lack that celestial recogni?
tion which causes more joy, in the unseen
world, over one sinner doing penance
than over ninety-nine just men who used
it not.?Augusta Chronicle.
Experiments Made by a Local Druggist.
"As a rule people have s very, poor
idea of the adulterations that are' made
in the articles of food," remarked a local
chemist to a reporter of the Post this
morning.
"What's your hobby now?" asked the
reporter. - L
"I have just been analyzing a number
of. tests for pure baking powder," replied
the chemist, "and," be continued, "I am
sorry to have to say I have found very
little that approaches anything like being
pure, and I think I have tested every
variety ou the market. Some of the
cheaper grades are horribly adulterated."
"In what manner?" put in the repor?
ter.
"The majority of the samples I have
been examining I find have been adulte?
rated with alum. Pure quick yeast is
two-thirds cream tartar and one-third
soda. The former ingredient is very
dear, selling at fifty cents per pound, so
that you readily see a man could not
afford to make h pure article that would
retail at fifteen and twenty cents a pound.
The soda is cheap, and the adulterations
are put in to supply the place of the
cream of tartar. Another favorite adul?
teration is carbonate of amonia, and the
majority of powders, if put on a tin pan
and heated, will give off a stroug odor of
amonia."
"What is the effect of these adultera?
tions ?"
"The adulterated powder answers the
same purpose as the pure article. It
makes a nice article of bread that rises
nicely, and'looks very white, especially
the alum adulteration, the alum actiug
as a bleeching ageut. The alum is whol?
ly indigestible, and powders thus adulte?
rated are an active cause of dyspepsia.
- "Another article that is greatly adulte?
rated," continued the Post's ? informant,
"is tobacco. I formerly sold the article
with which these adulterations are made,
and know how prevalent they are made,
and know bow prevalent they are. Many
grades of chewing tobacco contain opium,
but the greatest adulterations are made
in cigars. With the present facilities for
.cheating a fairly tasting cigar can be
made without a vestige of tobacco about
it. A dry leaf, such as can be obtained
from. the cabbage, is often used. It is
dipped in a solution that gives it the
color of tobacco and then flavored.

Cost Her Weight in Gold.
Mrs. Jesus Castro, an aged Mexcan
lady, now residing at American Flag, in
the Santa Catalina mountains, is perhaps
the only woman who, literally speaking,
ever cost her husband her weight in gold.
It is said that iu the early gold-digging
days of California she was a resident of
Sonora, in which State she was born and
grew to womanhood. When about the
age of 17 a paternal uncle but a few
years her senior, returned with bis com?
panions, gold-laden, from the ?1 Dorado
of the West, and became desperately
enamored of her. He sought her hand
in marriage und was accepted, but the
church refused because of the near rela?
tionship existing between them, to sol?
emnize the marriage.
Persuasion being in vain, he tried the
power of gold to win the church his way,
and succeeded, only by the payment of
her weight in gold. She at the lime
weighed 117 pounds, and against her in
the scales the glittering dust was shovel?
ed. Her affianced husband still had suf?
ficient of this world's good to provide a
comfortable home, and they were mar?
ried. They lived happily together, and
she bore to ber husband eleven children.
In the course of years he died, and she
married agin. Mr. C: s'ro being her sec*
ond husband. The above is a fact, and
not fiction, as living witnesses can prove.

The Earliest Use of Gunpowder.
In a paper recently read before the
Shanghai branch of the Royal Asiatic
Society, Dr. Macgowau affirms the claims
of the Ohihsae to be the originators of
gunpowder and firearms. This claim was
examined in an elaborate paper some
years ago by the late Mr. Mayers, and
decided by him in the negative. Dr.
Macgowan admits, that gunpowder, as
now used, is a European discovery.
Anterior to its granulation by Schwartz
it was a crude compound, of little use in
propelling missiles. This,, fl?ys the writer,
is the article first used in China. The
incendiary materials stated by a Greek
historian to have been employed by the
Hindus against Alexander's army are
stated to have been merely the napthas
or petroleum mixture of the ancient
Boreaus, and in early times used by the
Chinese. The "stinkpot," so much used
by Chinese pirates, is, it appears, a Cam?
bodian invention. Dr. Macgowan states
also that as early as the twelfth or thir?
teenth century the Chinese attempted
sobmarine warfare, contriving rude tor?
pedoes for that purpose. In the year
1000 an inventor exhibited' to the then
Emperor of China, "a fire gun and a fire
bomb." He says that while the Chinese
discovered the explosive nature of niter,
sulphur and charcoal in combination,
they were leggards in its application,
from inability to perfect its manufacture;
bo, in the use of firearms, failing to pros?
ecute experiment, they are found behind
in scientific gunnery.

"Yes," uneasily.

THE
KNABE PIANO
Has built up a reputation unequalled
in the last fifty years. Manufactured in
Baltimore, it stands our climate best, v'or
combination of volume and richness of I
tone, together with refined sweetness and
purity, IT STANDS THE LEADING
PIANO FORTE OF AMERICA. Sub?
stantial and durable. Fully warranted for
five years.
THE VERDICT
OF THE PEOPLE, seems, they will not |
buy any but the?
STANDARD ORGAN,
Made by Peloubet <fc Co. In fifteen months
I sold thirty-one of them, and published
the testimony of the satisfaction of the
purchasers to tho world. I have tried to
sell four other makes of Organs for the last
two years and only sold four. Now, the
people's judgment may be wrong?but that
is their VERDICT. They prefer the Stan?
dard Organ, made by Peloubet & Co.
Hence, I will not sell any other Instru?
ment but the above. Sold ON EASY
TERMS. Come and see me, or write to
me.
