The teacher must be his own judge as
to his beat method for excititig thc inter
est of his pupils in any particular study
or subject. Ol* one tbing; however, he
may bo certain : ho himself must be
thoroughly interested.
Some of the examination papers pre
sented to tho Hoard inst week were very
creditable; others were miserubly botch
ed affairs. Tho average is good, better,
perhaps, than in January, and wc feel
encouraged. Let us hope for still greater
improvement.
' Prof. W. S. Morrison lins been employ
ed by tho Examiug Hoard to conduct the
(Vu.ly Normal. Mr. Morrison is Super
intendent of tho Graded Schools in Spar
enburg, lie is u gentleman of experi
ence and ability, mid will do his share
toward making the Normal a success.
Let hie. have the hearty co operation of
tho teachers nnd of the public generally.
In some of the Townships the public
schools will not bc opened during tho
Summer; in others they will open when,
in tho judgment of tho Trust?es, it will
beat suit thc convenience of the patrons
to send. Let tho Trust?e? in tho rospec
tivo Townships decide the matter and
adviso tho people accordingly. Tho
Garvin Board requests us tu announce
that theirs will uotopen until November.

needs no introduction to tho people of

Mr. D. II. Russell writes ou Juno 21 :
"Wo were very much disappointed that
you did not 'let the light of your couti
tonanco shino upon us' on tho night of
the 18th innt. Wo closed our Behool
with an Exhibition that night, of which
the people who were present spoke well.
We are all now taking a three weeks'
rest, and while we are resting we are
thinking over some things that we have
beon reading in the Teachers' Column
during the past six mon thu. And among'
others is that Teachers' Convention. I
vote for that every time, or something in
the way of a Teachers' Institute or a
Teachers' Association. Let us get to-:j
gether and compare our ideas, not only
about tho best method of teaching, but
also about 4hg;beat changes to make lil
tbe existing iehool ku/. That it ia radi
cally detective Weryono" who bas taught
school under: it will admit, I presume.
One of its glaring defects is its giving to
tho Btate Board the right to select such a
wido^r?ngo gf. texl-booksfb^.e?ah branch
of Bf^y^jp9'^Pst ^veryllfe?ober, pj?r
haps, has been confronted oh the first
day of school with tue great di Iii cul ty of
organizing the school on account of tho
multiplicity of text-books. Some havo
Appleton's Beaders, some have Rey
nold's, some have Recd A Kellogg's
Grammars, others Quackenbos', and still
others, Ini tu; Sm i th 'p. . I do not argue
that these are noS- f.; o od text-books, but
what I plead for is system and uniformi
ty. It is possible for tho teachers to
meet with five di Oe .ont text-books on tho j
mo study or Grammar, Vis: Smith's,
Quackenbos', Reed & Kelloge's, Sill's,
and Whitney's. Another defect is the
having a Board of three Trustees for each
Township. There isho valid reason why
one man could not do all that tho three
do, and then responsibility could bo fixed
upon: bin), ^ftwfrmmh tinada teacl(eriB
and others who haveouslness with them

upon ona occailou when passing tbrou?h
Che ftotJ^ij^?AfC jit Fenoeylyanlr. on a
through train, the passengers suddenly
found themselves switched off to allow a
special to pass. Upon inquiry it was ss*
certaincd that tho special was conveying
a number of persons to an evening lec
ture at ". couuty institute in a neighbor
ing town. No sooner bad the trainman
tnado the explanation than with one ac
cord thc male occupants of the car rush
ed to the windows, and as tho special
passed, the exclamations, "Look at the
school ma'ams ! See the school ma'ams !"
could be heard from almost every ob
server. The indignation of the ladies ld
thc car was evident and righteous, for
tiley well knew timt thc exclamations
were sarcasm instead of admiration ;
they knew, loo, that thc men who uttered
them prided themselves upon their own
gentility and position in society ; they
knew, too, that there were os many gen
tlemen as ladies in tho special train, and
that the school ma'ams were of necessity
already attending tho institute-all of
which only increased their contempt for
tho miserable and misapplied expressions
of sarcasm. Hut this is not true of Penn
sylvania alone. It is an open secret that
many of the fashionable summer resorb?,
both ut the senshoro and near thc large
cities, dislike and in some CUBIS refuse to
advertise boarding for teachers "for fear
thal the society ladies from tho chien
will not patronize them." Nor is this
fact true of tho publie, schools atone.
Tho writer well remembers that when
her class graduated at - Seminary,
one of tho young ladies, wiro had a mar
ried brother living in u Western eily,
desired to go there to teach n private
school. She wrote to her brother, uskinp
him lo usn his influence to secure r
HCIIOOI. He replied that ''ho would he
glad lo have her . ???? him, hut he did not
wish bei to tench, because if sho did HIH
would nut be admitted into the saint
society in which ho and his wife moved.'
The brother was a railroad conductor
and yet his own Hinter would not be hi
lowed to ossociato in the samo circle ?
she taught school ! Shade of M i uer vs
inspire our hearts with r. love for wisden
equal in degreo to our contempt for sud
would-be aristocracy I And yet. in lilt
face of all these known factH, tho lad*
teachers of to-day ?rc censured for no'
feeling moro pride in their position nm
their title. Tho writer is not a teacher

as it is not fiction mit fact, it is ombalm

repeated by tho coming generation
especially of Ibis State where it occurred
Tho writer of this knew Mr. Jordan well
and studied law with him in the office o
Leitner & Vernon in Spartanburg it
1812. Ho was a poor young man, bu
earnest, energetic and ambitious, and wa
nobly battling with adverse circumstan
cc?, and fighting his way to eminenc
and distinction, lie won both wealtl
aud fame and reached thc position e
Attorney General of Arkansas. Josepl
E. Brown, tho other party to the traniac
lion, is uow United States Senator fron
Georgia, and perhaps tho wealthiest mat
in the State.. Tho following appeared li
tho Little Hock Oaz?ltc, soon after th
death of Mr. Jordan, which occurred J
fow years since.
"Tho lato Pleasant Jordan, of this city
who was at one time Attorney Genera
of the State, used to tell n charncterlsti
story of Mr. Brown. Mr. Jordan was a
ono time, in his carly years a countr
Behool teacher in South < >arolina, camin?
mcanB to prosecute hi? purpose of study
ing law. One day Ibero came to bi
Behool house n lean, guant, ungainl;

steers, representing the sum total of hi
worldly stores. I Ile Informed Mr. Jordsi
that ho wsnted'to enter his school, bu
had no money or property except th
two steers, which he had driven ia fror
3 considerable distance.
With the aid of Mr. Jordan, the youn(
man succeeded in disposing of the steer
for money enough to pay for his tuitioi
for one session, while a kind beartei
planter in the neighborhood volunteers
;to boatd him, gratis. Ho baited fron

E. Brown, was elected Governor ci

A Noble Offering,
Tho superintendent of one of th
street car railways leading out of Net
York into the country, told a touchin
story to a friend the other day whic
found its way into a city paper :
Sitting alone in his omeo one day,
strange gentleman entered^ who prove
to be an officer in the army. He carrie
a little box In his hand. After som
hesitation, ho said, conquering grei
agitation :
"I have a favor to ask you. I had
little boy, and I've lost him. He wi
all the world to mo. When he was all vi
my wife used to search my pockets over
night, and'whatever loose change ' sb

Well, he's gone. ' Here is tho box. W
talked Ibo matter over, and came to th
conclusion we could not do better thu
to bring the money to you,- to pay tit
ra"res*of poor, sick"children out of tow

Hontheim Men In tho Union Anny.
J The* ^?ew York Ev?^tmg l'ont baa ex
unlined the efn?stics of ihe deaths io the
Vu i ut) army during thc Confederate war
and obtained ifeaulis that will surprise
nine out of every ten readers.
The first discovery is that Uelawarc, a
(dave State, furnished a larger number of
troops to Hie Union army, in proportion
to her available military population,
than any other State in any part of the
country! 'Tho other Border Statee did
'nearly aa badly, or, as the Pod pula it,
"oearij aa ?roll. Maryland liad 00,810
men in the Union army. Kentucky had
711,020 and Missouri 109,1 ll. Weat, Vir
ginia gave 32,008 soldiers to tho union
army und ISaat Tennessee 31,092. Alto
gelber, these nix Southern Staten contri
buted 310,202 mea to tho d?fonce of the
I'nion, while 23,010 caine from other
Southern Stair i, makiog a grand total of
3:58,327 from that part of thc country iu
which slavery existed.
It appear? that almost one-eighth of
thc Union army came from tho South,
und the 7W thinks that it is hardly too
much to say that Ibo National cause
could not have triumphed without this
help. Its?vM: '?With 'jona'derably moro
than 800)000 irleh taken from thc fight
ing force for Hie Uuion, and given to tho
Confederacy, the succccs of tfie Federal
Government could hardly have been
hoped for." Even if over one hundred
t hu ii - uid "colored troop?" came from
the Southern States, the ex-Confederates
have . tho melancholy satisfaction of
kuowing that lt was the 20?.OOU wiiite
men whom tho Holder States contributed
te (he Union causo who broke the back
of the Confederacy. Had tho South
renMy been solid, the Noith would have
been defeated.
The conduct of tho Union men in the
Border States is additional proof that the
war was not fought by tho North for the
abolition of slavery*. The Southerners
who went into the Union army came
from sluvcholding States, and were as
deeply interested in slave property as
tho soldier.-* in che Confederate army
were. It is hardly likely that they would
have taken up arms for the abolition of
slavery, which meaut to them the loss of
a large part of their own property, cr
that of their refntjve? ami friends. They
fought for the Union, and not for the
nlaves.-New* and Courier.
A Father's Foolish Promise.
A cent acorns of little value, but if it
is only doubled a fow times it grows to a
marvelous sum. A young lady in Port
land caught her father in a rash promise
by a knowledge of this fact on her part.
She modestly proposed that if her father
would only give her 1 cent on ono day
and double that amount on each success
ive day for just one month, sho would
pledge herself nevor lo ask of him nn
o'.hor cent of money as long as 8he lived.
Not stopping to run over tho figures in
his head, ami not supposing it would
amount to a largo sum, he was glad to
accept tho oller at once, thinking it also
a favorable opportunity to include a pos
sible marriago dowry in tho future. On
tho twenty-fifth day he became greatly
alarmed lest if he complied with Ina own
acceptance, ho might be obliged to be
"declared a bankrupt on his own peti
tion." But on the thirtieth day this
?oung lady demanded enly the pretty
ittlo sum of *0,368,70(i.l2. The aston
ished merchant was only too happy to
cancel tho claim by advouolug a hand
some cash payment for his folly in allow
ing himself to give a bond-for his word
he couaidered aa good aa bia bond
without noticing the consideration there
in expressed, and by promising to return
to tho old custom of advancing ?maller
sums daily until otherwise cJorcd.
- "flayer' go back," advises a writer.
''What you attempt, do with all your
strength." This may be good advice,
but lt wouldn't work aatisfactorily.
When a young man, for instance, at
tempts to court a giri, ho mav do it with
all his strength, but he goes Back, all the
same. He goes back about aia nights a
week.

Bacot, Druggist-Dear Sir: After experi
encing the beneficial effects of your "Beat
Liver Pills," I feel it my duty to testify to
their efficacy as a preventivo in "bilious
fever and ague," and in fact all diseases
caused by torpidity of tho liver. Tboy are
certainly the only specific I have been able
to find for bilious or malarial fevers in the
debilitating climate in which 1 bave been
living for thc last three years.

THE HALL SELF-FEEDING COTTON GIN
Manufactured at Sing Sing, N. Y., luis given satisfaction wherever used. The Saws are
made of the best imported steel. The saw shaft is Hie largest made. An examination
of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never
breaks the roll, and therefore does away with the expenso of the rovolving head, as the
secret of making thc Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the
roll-box. livery one should examine the improvements ill the Hall Gin made this year,
especially the improvement in thc Feeder. Below I give you a few names of those who
