J. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOH. We aro gUd that Mies Minerva Drake is so delighted with her first experience with the pass book exercise. What (loco she say of it now, a .1er a longer trial ? The enthusiastic teacher is not always successful. Enthusiasm is a necessary ingredient ; but il must be backed by good common sense and a clear knowl edge of human nature. Judging from tho success of our boys f n the past, if tho Colleges and Univer sities scatter the gold tncdala around looBe, the Anderson boya will put their hands on them-they'll come off with their share. Wo trust the entertainment given by Mr. D. H. Russell's school on tho 18tb waa a success. Wo regret that unavoid able circumstances prevented our attend ing. We appreciate his thoughtful invi tation, and if tho task which bc claims of us will do any goo'd, ho may expect it somo time during the Hummer. Next week we hope to attend tho Nor mal School nt Lnurens, and about thc 22nd inst. Ibe one at Abbeville. Thanks to our college chum, Mr. W. Ii. (?ray, of Laurens, for au invitation to make his house our homo whilu tho Normal lasts. That would bo pleasant, but we can spend only two or throe days with him at most. The indication:) are that not one of our teachers will attend the Normal Schcol in Charleston. We ourselves hope to be able to bo there a few days (if we can borrow tho toads), and will give the readers of the Teachers Column tho ben fit of our i m pre. 'ms. We would like so much to spend a week or two at Mont Eagle, and to attend the International Educational Association nt Saratoga. O, poverty how inconvenient ! TIME FOB COUHTY HOBMAL. Before fixing tho time for tho County Normal, tho Board of Examiners would like to havo an expression of opinion from the teachers und as many of tho Trusteos as feel enough interest in tho matter to have au opinion. What time would suit tho teachers beet? Uow would the first two wcoks in September do? That timo haB been suggested by a teacher who thinkB that the children will then be most needed in the crops. Wo will request tho Board not to fix the time until we can hear from tho teachers. Wo do hope tho teachent and trustees will drop us a card at once so tbut tho Board may bo guided by the opinion of the majority. BETT EB TEACHER!). All along ibo ?ino there is a general awakening on the subject of education. Tho ory is for better teachers. Educa tors aro beginning to realize that the reg ular examinations of teachers by the County Boards, whilo tbey do some good, do not accomplish all that is intended or desired. They reveal, in many cases, a fearful ignorance of what is expected to be taught, but take no active steps to ward the improvement of the condition of tho unfortunate applicant for Grade Certificate. Realizing thia, the leading thinkers have suggested the Stato aud County Normals as the best remedy for the evil. Tho Slate Normal has accom plished much good; but lt doesn't seem to reach that olass of teaohors for whose special benefit it was intended, The teachers in the public schools in the country aro those who need it most. To make a long matu, short, they' are, as a class; too poor to attend tho State Nor mal if held outside their own County. County Normals have been introduced that every teacher, however poor or how ever backward he may bo, may got the benefit of such instruction. It is found that a very largo per cent, of tho teach ers attending the Stato Normal hereto fore, were, principals ?jf High Schcola and Academies in the towns and villages of the State. Lot our County Normal and County Teachers' Association have tho sympathy and encouragement aud co-operation of all our citizens. Those who are not teachers themselves are cer tainly interested in tho causo sufficiently to encourage every effort, or enterprise, that looks to the furtherance of that cause. < Let our teachers all make their arrangements to attend tho County Nor mal. With m Utile extra effort, the poor est can do it. Just when it will be heidi wo aro not now able to say. The Board of Examinera will meet next week when that question will bo settled. As for ourselves, we have thought it best to postpone it until come time in August. ?DU0A7I0HAX.

More than ono college in our State has perfected arrangement? by which a boy may get his board at scvon dollars per month. Only thirty-five dollars for a Bcssiou of five months. I wouldn't give a bauble for tho brain and muscle that couldn't overcome an obstacle like that. ANDERSON B0Y8 AT THE COLLEGES. We arc glad to seo that tho Anderson boya ofT at Collcgo arc sustaining the reputation of the grand old County. Mr. W. E. Urcazcalo and Mr. A. M. Allaway graduated with distinction re cently from Furman University and Wofiord Collcgo respectively. At Fur man, Mr. Ti E. Horton won tho gold medal for the bcHt themis on political economy, and Mr. it. H. Burris* was nw a ?d rd two prizes, one for the best com position aud tho other for tho beet read ing. And Mr. T. P. Harrison stands at tho head of his class in the Citadel in Charleston. Hurrah for Ibo Anderson beys ! Life itself is a manly struggle for tho prize of success, and our boys seem to bo initiating themselves while at Col They seem to bc mindful of tho fact tliut Anderson County has a reputation which tho present generation of students must Btistnin. Wo make the assertion without fear of successful contradiction tiiat no County in tho Btnto has, within the last ten years, turned out more successful and prominent College graduate* than An derson. Not every man who graduates is an educated man or a successful one, Some of the most signal failures in life havo been made by men who wrapped their energies in their College "sheep skins" nud slept their lives away in one long unbroken dream. Andorsou Coun ty may havo her share of that kind ; but she lias somo whoso education didn't stop when they left their alma mater. An derson would point her boya to the ox ample Bet by her Dr. Pickol, now Pro fessor of Chemistry io tho University ol Florida ; to W. W.

Only one of the parlies is whit? Had Sausage! Ia Hb Pocket A minister io ono of our orthodox churches, while ou his way to preach a funeral sermon in the country, called ou one of bia oi embers, an old lady, who had 'just been making sausages, and as she felt very proud of them insisted on tho minister taking some of the links home to his family. After wrapping the sausages in a clotn the minister carefully placed tho bundle in the pocket of his great cout. Thus equipped ne started fur tho funeral, While attending tho solemn c?r?monie? at thc gravo some hungry dogs scented thc Haulages, and wero not long iu tracking them to the pocket of the good man's overcoat. Of course this was a great annoyance, und he was sev eral limes under the necessity of kicking tho whelps away. The obsequies at tho gravo completed, the minister and the congregation repaired to church, where the funeral discourse was to be preached. After tho sermon was finished tue minis ter halted to make some rcmarka to tho congregation, when a brother, who wish ed to have an uppointment given out, ascended the stairs of the pulpit and gavo the miuister'H coal a hitch to get bia attention. The divine, thinking it a dog having desigus upon his pocket, rained his foot, gave a suddeu kick, and seut the good brother sprawling down the etepa. ''You will please excuse me, bretbreu and sisters, said the minister, confused ly, und without looking at the work ho liad just done, "for I could uot avoid it. I havo sausages in my pocket, and that dog baa been trying to grub them over since he came on tho premise*!" Thing* that Break a Womnii'* Heart. A husbuud treated to a glas* of wino at the house of a fricnd(?'. A husbaud taking a game of cards in tho neighboring grocery. A husband who freqaoo ts place? where thu shutters arc always drawn. A husband who tain tn the pure utmos phero of home with beer and tobacco. A husband who can laka a glass with a friend and knows when to quit. A husband who keeps the evil genius in his home, nnd consoles himself that he only takes it an a medicine. A husband who goes in town to the lodge (not Good Templars), and docs not return for several days. A husband who grumbles and mutters extravagance wheu his children need shoes, but whoso smite is bland as he lavishly treats his friends(?). A husbuud who culla bis wife thriftless and wasteful when the flour bin and BUgar barrel are empty, but buya his cigurH by thu box, and only indulges in thu choicest brands, and the purent liquors. A huabaad who competa birt wife to baud daily over the wash tub. that he may spend tho money earned by the ii weat of her womanly brow, for beor or poor bourbon. We hear so much of protection now. Wo havo altogether too I much of that sort. A husband who has lost all pride for himself or regard for his family. "Where manliness and honor die, there some womcu'a heart dies, too."-Ii. W. G. L. Circular. Tho Wrong Fur. A very excited colored brother hunted up nn o dicer patrolling High street, and said tbnt ho had long borne the abuse of a man uf ids color who was than in a house on the next block, and added : "I donn' want to broke do law, but the time has arrovo when I mus' crush dat pussou to de dust I" "If I catch you fighting I shall have to take you down," replied the oiflcer. "I can't holp it, can't help it, nohow. If dat pusson makes bis disappearance on de street, while I'm aroun', do fur am g wi no to fly, if I die fur it, He's slan dered mo nn' lied about me, an' I'ze gwino to knish him as same as you would a tiger,'? The officer passed on to the end of his boat and roturucd lo find tho crusher with his back to tho fence and n woman leuding him u wet rag to bind hhs head np. "Let's aee I You aro the man who waa going to crush some one ?" observed the officer. "I 'spects I aro." "Did he como out." "I 'spectB ho did." "Did tho fur fly ?" "Deed, sab, it did, but de trouble was dut it was de wrong fur! De o ne ry scoundrel refused to be crushed." "And now?" "Well, Fae gwine to git healed up an* lick his brudder in-law!

Settling near Rocky Mount he concluded to become a mem ber at Bethel, a colored church near him. It so happened that iu the same pocket in which reposed the certificate of church membership waa also deposited last year's Si ano note. In handing in hia letter to e church thc brother made a mistake and gave bia guano noto instead. The church clerk uot being a very good read er never detected the error until several months afterwards. Being at a lusa wbat to do about tho matter be called upoo a loamed white brother in .the settlement for/tambal '; The whi^e man counseled that the matter be allowed to stand, say ing that a guano note waa more binding than anything else in the world. It for bid him oven to take a homestead against bia religion and if one lived up to the hote'B requirements he thought the church ought not to complain. So the guano paper entitlea the colored appli cant to full membership at Bethel. Meriwether, Qa., Vindicator. An Amicable Arrangement?
