J. G. CLDTKSCALES, Editor. Garvin Tow^sJbip. seems to be wide awaktf-to the importance of improving her school houses. At Bishop^ Branch, at a recent meeting of the citizens, a committee was appointed to arrange for work in the school building at once. One of tbe leading citizens assures me that the condition of the Bethany school bouse will be improved during this month. Lebanon needs work, and the Chairman of Board of Trustees is work- ] ing the people up to the sticking point. At Six-and-Twenty Church a new school house is proposed..' Let the work.go on. By aU* leans', ~Tet the 'old house be "touched, up.'~ .. Bxovide more comforta? ble seat* Jbr. the children. And when you ceirffie house, fix'it soi that the whole side can be used as a black-board. 2S THE BT ATE NORMAL A NECESSITY T The State Normal in Charleston is, in I our judgment, a failure. Not in itself,! but a failure as to its results-~it indispu- j tablj fails to accomplish the purpose for ! which it wa3 intended. We predicted! as. mach, but hoped.against, our own judgment, thinking,' perhaps after all, I Charhsston might be the very place for I iL "I told; you so", can accomplish no | good. The point is to improve by past ] experience. Xet the next State Normal, j if we have one, not go to Charleston nor j to Anderson, hut to Columbia. It is in*} tended for. the good of the teachers in public schools all over the State?then let it be held in Columbia every year, since that1 place is nearer a central point. I In oar humble judgment, there is no longer a necessity for the State Normal. ! The County Normal unquestionably [ comes nearer* accomplishing the purpose { intended ."by such schools. The State ! Normal is attended largely by teachers in High-Schools and Academies. The State does not propose to give tuition to that class of teachers. Her aim, beyond the shadow of a doubt, is to teach the,] teachers in her own public schools how to do their work in the best possible manner. . The experience of the last few years demonstrates,very clearly to our! mind that this class of teachers can not j be reached through the State Normal. The County Normals are doing the work. I If the State Normal is a necessity and! accomplishes its purposes, by all means let it be kept up every year; if it is not, if the County Normal reach that class of teachers that most need such instruction and in. who3e improvement the State is most deeply interested, by all means let them be heartily supported and let the State Normal go down. j '? Below we publish a letter from a gen- j tleman deeply interested in a worthy ! enterprise; . . We hope'o will give it that attention which it deserves. Let the interest of the citizens of An- I dorson, Picke ns, Oconee and Greenville) in the cause of education, measure up to the* generosity'oTthe noble woman who gave tbe-property.ir 1 Me^Editqr?I desire you to interest yourself iu*behalr>of thWmother of ed? ucation in a scheme proposed by myself a year ago, and accepted as proper by a lew individuals at the time^ but not j urged upon !Ke?3tt?ntion of our^eople publicly then nor since. It is the plan to found an institution to educate the hand as well as the head. What little of practical education our young; men get is j reached by going to Cornell. University or some kindred institution. Few of them can afford to go to these places.' - It is the rule, under most of the civilized governments of the whole Eastern world, for every young man to acquire what-| ever of letters he wishes to acquire, or can acquire, and that being done, to] complete his preparation for life by serv- ] ing an apprenticeship to some handicraft. It is proposed to make the effort to found an institution to be known as Walker McElmoyle College, to consist of three or more schools. First, a literary school: this, it is proposed, shall be nothing more than a good classical and mathe- j matical school, where'preparation may be had:for the colleges of the country, or preparation for the Normal schools of the same institution. Then a school with a good laboratory and an experi? mental farm attached, which will give the students the opportunity of learning j . something of applied chemistry. Then after this school; another' of mechanics for wood and other sabstances that man I has reason to make use of. Now, I would say to "you and through you, to the people of Anderson, Picke us, Oconee and Greenville Counties that, there is opportunity- for founding .-such an insti? tution. About the 1st of October, 1884, the late Eleanor J. Walker deeded to fifteen Trustees a tract of 120 acres of land, to be used as the site of such Col? lege. These Trustees desire - the co" operation of the people of the State, and particularly of the four Counties named. The objection has been raised that the proposed location is too far from railroad communication. It kf seven measured miles from PendletoD, six from Central, "about the same from Liberty, ten from Easley, and not more than sis or seven from Callahan's, on the proposed track of the French Broad Railroad. It is table land, not subject to fevers/not broken and rugged, but good land for cultivation. In its relative po? sition to the four Counties named, it is as near a central point as it could have been chosen had it been done with de? sign. The Hue which separates Pickens from Anderson splits it, and it is nearly equidistant between the Counties of Oconee and Greenville. We would see the people of these, four Counties as .one. man set about the work, and if the State will assist, the help will be thankfully accepted. ' ' DlFF?R with for differ from.?When two persons disagree in opinion, one may properly be said to differ from the olhcr, but not to differ with him. If two per? sons, however, as A and B, take one side of a question, and a third one, C, takes the other, it is not wrong to say that A differs with B from C. This expression, which at best, is ratber awkward, can usually be avoided by declaring that A and B differ from C. Line for verse.?Poetry is divided into rhy thmioal parts, sometimes equal, some? times not, which are related to each other according to some principle intended by the author to contribute to the effect he designs to producta 5 Usually, one of these parts is written or printed in a single line; and, no doubt, for this rea? son, they are often known as "lines." That this name is inappropriate, how? ever, is manifest from the double fact many verses are too short to fill out n line apiece, while not a few are so long that a singlo line will not contain the whole of one. The name "verse" is fig? urative/and-is-derived from the Latin yartere, to turn, because, when the poet reaches the end of a verse, he turns back to the beginning of the next line, whether he has reached the end of aline or not. Verse for stanza.?On the other hand, the word "verse," for which seme seem to have aversion in its proper sense, is often improperly used in a totally, differ ent one. A stanza is a collection of verses. In a regular poem, each stanza contains the same number of similar verses, arranged in the same relative "order. But this uniformity,of arrange? ment is very often disregarded in poetry not intended to be sung. In all rhym? ing poetry, however, the matter is di? vided into distinct parts, correspond ing to paragraphs in prose { and these parts are properly called stanzas, and not ! verses.; | . ' Garden of Paradise for garden of Eden.?The word "paradise" means "park" or "pleasure garden." Adam and Eve were placed in the garden, or paradise, which the Lord God had "planted tastward in Eden." The phrase) "garden of Paradise," which simy Sly means "garden of garden^Ms withouti efioite meaning, and ought not"to be [used. ._ Yourself for you,?We very fre? quently hear the compound peraonal pronouns, "myself and "yourself," used where the proprieties of the language would require the corresponding simple one. These compound pronouns have two important functions to perform, and only two. In undertaking any other duty, they transcend their proper limits, and are manifestly out of place. They are used reflexively, when the object of an action is the same as the agent, whether, in the expression,' the. pronoun is the object of a verb or of a preposition.' We may say, "You are hurting yourself more than any one else." "Yon are doing yourself more harm than any one else." "Your misconduct brings reproach upon yoUrself." They are also used emphatically, in connection with the simple pronouns. "I will not send him ; I will go myself." That is, "I myself will go." Such expressions as "I have a high re? gard for yourself" are manifestly im? proper ; and yet they are very common, ?Naiad. Let as Hare Prohibition in South Carolina, The time has at last arrived when the great question of prohibition can be dis? cussed with impunity, and without any danger of the government. Prior to '76 the better element of the State' having no influence with the government of the State,, considered it useless to agitate the question.- . After, the great struggle of '76, when the people got into power, we were then afraid to agitate the question lest it might result in a split in the. party and the overthrow of the new government. Year after year the Democratic majority has increased and strengthened, until to? day, when it is safe to say that any ques? tion can be agitated without detriment or danger to the government, and no better time will coto^iot^afinal settle? ment of the question of jp^olribiuoiiibr South Carolina. We do not proposeS*^ enter into a discussion of the subject at this timo, but will say that henceforth onr paper will be found a strenuous advocate of prohibition, and that noth? ing will be left undone that can in any way induce the Legislators of the Pee Dee section, at least, to raise the question and fight for prohibition at the next session of the Legislature. To the editors of newspapers in the various counties of the State, who control, to a great extent, public opinion in your section, we ask your co-operation in the work, referring you to our own county, Marlboro, where we have had prohibition for a number of years, as an evidence of the great results therefrom. Several years ago at almost every cross-road in the county, a whiskey den was established, and our entire county was constantly in a state of up? roar and confusion. Farms were neglect? ed, homes,- ? wives and children . were neglected, business of every kind was neglected, to say nothing of the fights, murders, thefts, &c., &c., that were com? mitted. So great was the evil that even Republican- County? Commissioners de? cided to stop its sale, and accordingly did so. Since the sale of whiskey was stopped onr county has risen far above her sister counties in point of agriculture, .and a more sober, steady, industrious 'people than ours, inhabit no county. A 'great many will say that if a man wants whiskey- he will buy it anyhow. He will send for It to the nearest town where it is sold. . While a few will do this, those on whom the clutches of the monster are already irremediable fixed, yet in the majority of instances, rather than go to the trouble of ordering they prefer to do without it. There are a score of men in Marlboro Corinty to-day?good men, and in many instances members of the church, who owe their very honor to prohibition in their county. In other words there are men who wish to live sober, honor? able lives, and would. do so as long as whiskey is kept out' of their way, but why in former years, having allowed thei habit to grow upon them, are powerless eyen yet to resist its influence when brought in .contact with it. There are others who advance the theory that it will take money from the State that should be kept heie. For Heaven's sake, can there be a man so dead in apprecia? tion of human life and honor as to think for a moment that the small amount of money sent from the State for whiskey could in any degree counterbalance the lives and morals of our boys and young men which are annually sacrificed under the deadly influence of the evil placed at their very doors? We cannot think so. Let our representatives begin to ponder this great and important question, resting assured that the man who introduces and successfully passes the bill will immor? talize himself not with the shallow glory of the ordinary statesman or politician, but with eternal laurels, composed of the thanks and praise <?f weeping and des? pairing mothers, wives, siBters. and the suffering children of our country.?Marl? boro Chronicle. ? For nose bleed, get plenty of pow? dered alum up into the nostrils. i ? Senator Butler has accepted invita j tious to make two very important fcpecchcs thi3 year. One of these will be at Middletown, Conn., in October, before the 30th anniversary meeting of the Delta Kappa Epsilon Society, of which Senator Butler is a member. The other speech will be in Richmond, Va.. at the annual meeting of the Historical Society, on the battle of Trevillion Station, and there is no man in the United States more competent than Senator Butler to speak upon this memorable battle, in which he and his brigade of South Caro lina troops took so active a part. ? Additions to the number of po.*t offices in the country occur at the rate of several score a month. Last year the total had reached 50,000, and at the be? ginning of the present mouth it was 51,252, of which 2,233 carry a salary of $1,000 or more each and are filled by the President, while 49,019 are filled by the Postmaster General's appointments. The Southern States have 376 more offices now than last fall, and the Western States and Territories 288, not including that established at Killisnoo, Alaska. Virginia and Texas each gained 57, and Dakota came next with 44, Hucklcn's Arnica Snlro.

In the Virginia Democratic Con? vention on Thursday when Mr. Jas. N. Dnnlop had finished a speech seconding the nomination of Gen. Fitz Lee, an old Confederate bugleman, who rode with Lee, placed bis old war bugle to his lips and sounded clear and distinct "A Cav? alry Charge." It was so realistic, so un? expected, that many of the old cavalry men jumped to their feet. When Capt. F. W. Dawson, of the News and Courier, who used to be in Lee's division, heard the familiar call, he sprang from his seat on the. stage and said: "I feel like I wanted to shout again as We used to. That is one of our old bugles." ->? ? They tell a good story on a lawyer of Wooster, Ohio. A client charged with stealing a hog admitted his guilt to j his counsel. The latter was noted for his honesty in private life. After think? ing the matter over, he said : "John, cht that hog in half and bring one-half to me." John obeyed. The evidence for the prosecution was weak, and when he arose he won the case easily by saying to-the jury: "Gentlemen, I can hold up my hand to heaven and say that the de? fendant has no more of that hog than I have." ? The growth of the cattle industry is wonderful. Twenty years ago a million of dollars would cover the amount inves? ted in cattle ranches in the United States, but now the investments are estimated at one hundred millions. Not only in this country but abroad, agriculture has been superseded in many places by cattle raising, which is lowering and will con? tinue to lower the price of beef. Australians have discarded the horse bit and substituted for it a. steel band placed over the front bone of the horse's nose, to which appliance reins are at? tached. It is said to give comple control over the animal without inflicting the least discomfort. A WOMAN. From the Atlanta Constitution. "My name is Mary Chapman, and I live at the corner of Williams and Cox streets, Atlanta. I have been a dreadful suffcror from scrofula and running, eating scrofulous ulcers for six years. Have been Trailed upon during the time by seven Atlanta physicians, but they failed to cure me. I also used various advertised remedies without the least benefit. While being thus treated, I grew worse all the time. Scrofulous swellings on both sides of my neck?which became running, eating sores, aiTectlng my throat, mouth and nose. The eating sores on my neck were a mass of corrup? tion almost down to tho bones. My throat be? came so much affected that I could scarcely swal? low, my food lodging in a portion of my throat. I lost my appetite entirely, lost my flesh, and was reduced to 60 pounds weight?being a mere skele? ton. My wholo system became terribly poisoned, and in a fearful condition. In this condition I commonced the use of E. B. B., and found great relief in the first bottle. "When I had used five bottles my health had so much improved that the ulcers were all healed, the swelling subsided, my appetite returned, my skin became active, my strength returned, and I gained 44 pounds of flesh. I am now healthy, fat and hearty, and am'able to do as much work as any woman, and feel as happy as a lark." Kidrfey^Qom plai nt. For over six years I have hec3>*???U4k^Uu"0rer from a troublesome kidney complaint, for"trro^_. lief of which I have spent over ?250 without ben? efit, the most noted so-called remedies proving failures. The use of one single bottle of B. B. B. has been marvelous, giving more relief than all other treatment combined. It is a quick cure, while others, if they cure at all, arc in the distant future. % C. H. ROBERTS, Atlanta Water works. FOR SALE BY HILL BROS., Anderson, S. C.

I packed bales of cotton weighing 6G0 to 725 lbs. in live minutes with all ease, using a 4-inch belt and 25 lbs. steam. There did not seem any more strain on the Press than with a 450 lb. bale. For durability, strength, lightness of power, small quantity of steam required, economy of space. I deem it tho King of all Cotton Presses ; especially so as the low price at which it can be bought puts it within reach of every man running a steam 'Gin.

An examination of other Gins will convince you it is the most substantially built Gin in use. It never breaks the roll, and therefore docs away with the expense of the revolving head, as the secret of making the Gin to prevent its breaking the roll is in the proper shape of the roll-box.

Oci 2, 18*1 12 Warren Leland, whom everybody knows as tho successful manager of the Largest Hotel Enterprises of America, 6ays that while a passenger from New York on bo?rd ? ship g?hig arbntid Cni? Harn, la tlio early days of emigration to Cal? ifornia, ho learned that ono of tho officers of the reseol had cured himself, during the voy? age, of au obstinate disease by tho uso of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Since then Mr. Leland has recommended AVER's SARSAPARILLA in many similar cases, and ho has never yet heard of its f;.iU uro to effect a radical cure. Somo years ago one of Mr. I.nr..\xi?"s fnrm laborers bruised his log. Owing tu tlic lad state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous ? Welling or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor? rible itching of the skin, with burning and darting pains through the lump, mndo iifo almost intolerable. Tho leg became enor? mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely Offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until tho man, by Mr. Leland's direc? tion, was supplied with Ayer'a Sarsava rilla, which allayed the pnin and irritation, healed the sore9, removed the swolliug, and completely restored the limb to use. Mr. Leland has personally used Ayers Sarsaparilla for It hen ma t J sm, with cntiro puccoss ; and, after careful observation, declares that, in his bolief, there is no medicine in the worid equal to it for the cure of Liver Dlftordors, Goat, tho effects of high living, Halt Rheum, Sores, Eruptions, and all tho various forms of blood diseases. Wo have Mr. Leland's permission to Invite fill who may desire further evidence in regard to tho extraordinary curative i>owers of Ayer's Sarsaparilla to sco him person? ally cither at his mammoth Ocenn K?i?l, Long Branch, or at the popular I.elau'l line', Broadway, 27th and 28tli Streets, New York. Mr. Leland's cxtonsivo knowledge of tlio good douo by this unequalled cradlcator of blood poisons enables him to give inquirers much valuable information. PREPARED RY Dr. J.C.
