guutoim ?ntollfpu?r. TgAGHflrtf'?OLUMN. J. G. CLINKSCALES, EDITOR. Garvin Township seems to be wide awake to the importance of improving her school houses. At Bishop's Branch, at a recent meeting of the cilir.ens, a committee was appointed to arrange for work in thc school building at once. Ouo of thc leading citizens assures me that thecoudiliou of the Bethany school* house will be improved during this month. Lebanon needs work, and tho Chairman of Hoard of Trustees is work ing tho people up to the sticking point. At Six-and-Twenty Church a new school house is proposed. Lol tho work go on. By all " means, let tho old house bc "touched up." 1'rovide more comforta ble seats for thc child^n. And when you ceil thc house, fix it so that tho whole side eau he used as a black board. IS THE BTATE HOBMAL A NECESSITY 1 The State Normal in Charleston is, in our judgment, a failure. Not in itself, but a fr.iluro as to it? results--it indispu tably fails to accomplish the purposo for which it was intended. We predicted as much, but hoped against our own judgment, thinking, perhaps after all, Charleston might be tho very place for it. "I told you so" can accomplish no good. Tho point is to improve by past experience. Let tho next Stato Normal, if wo havo one, not go to Charleston nor to Anderson, but to Columbia. It Is in touded for tho good of tho teachers in public schools all over tho Stale-then lot it bo held in Columbia every year, since that placo is nearer a central point. In our humble judgment, there is no longer a necessity for the State Normal. Tho County Normal unquestionably comes nenrer accomplishing tho purpose intoudod hy such schools. Tho State Normal is attended largely by teachers iu High Schools and Academics. Tho Stato does not proposo to give tuition to that class of teachers. Her aim, beyond tho shadow of a doubt, is to teach the teachers in her own public schools how to do their work in tho best possible manner. Tho experience of tho last fow years demonstrates very clearly to our mind that this ciaos of teachers cati not bo reached through tho Stato Normal. Tho County Normals aro doing tho work. If the State Normal is a necessity and accomplishes its purposes, by all means let it be kept up overy year ; if it U not, if the County Normal reach that class of teachers that moBt need such instruction and iii whoBO improvement the State is most deeply interested, by all moans lot them be heartily supported and lot the State Normal go down. Below wo publish a letter from a gen tleman deeply lntoroatcd in n worthy enterprise. We hopo our readers will give it that attention which it deserves. Let the interest of the citizens of An derson, Picketts, Oconco and Greenville, in the causo of education, measure up to the generosity o'f tho noble woman who gavo tho property L, Mit. EDITOR-I desire you to iutorcst yourself in behalf of tho mother of ed ucation iu a scheme proposed by myself a year ago. and accepted as proper by a few individuals, at tho time, but not urged upon tho attention of our people publicly then nor since. It in thu plan to fouud an. institution to educate tho hand na well aa the head. What little of j practical education our young men got ia. reached by going to Cornell University j or some Kindred institution. FOY/ - of | them can afford to go to these pl ucea. It j is tho rule, under moat of the civilized governments of tho whole Eastern world, lor avery young man to acquire what ever of leusra he wishes to acquire, ot ean acquire, and that being done, to complete his preparation for lifo by serv ing an apprenticeship to some handicraft. It ls proposed to make the effort to found an institution to be known as Walkor McEl -,ioylc College, to consist of three or more schools. First, a literary school : lbj?, it ls proposed, shall be nothing more than a > good 'Classical and i mathe matical school, whore4preparation may' be bad for the colleges ol' 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 giro the students the opportunity of learning something of applied chemistry. Then after this school, another of mechanics for wood and other substances that' man has reason to make uso ot Now, I would say lojyop. and ?throttgh ? you, to thc people ofSAodcrtba, Pidkens, Oconee mid Greenville Counties that there is opportunity- for fouudingTSUch eu-insti tution. About the 1st ot October, 1884, the late Eleanor ,T. Walker deeded to fifteen Trastees a tract of 120 acres of . land, to be used as the alt?; of.such OoV, lege. Thoso Trustees tk-ateo - tho co operation of thc pooplo of Che Stato, and particularly of the four Coontie* named. Tito objection has beep raised that the proposed location ia too far from railroad communication. It ia seven measured milt? -from .Pendleton, six from Central, about tho same from Liberty, ten from Eau)ey, and not more than six or seven from Callahan's, on the proposed track of tho French Broad, BallroacU; It ja. table land, not subject to fovert/??Woken and rugged, but good land for cultivation. In its relative po . sition to tho four Counties named, it is near n central'point as it could have been chosen had it beeb done w'tbdo . - sign. The lino which separates Picken* .. from Anderson splits it, and it is nearly equidistant between tho Counties of Oconee and Greenville; We would HW v the people of theao four.Counties ns ono man set about tho work, apd if the State will assist, tho help will bo thankfully ncceptod. ,t...( ' ;.

VKH8E for stanza.-On the oilier baud, the word "verse," for which some seem lo havu uveraiun iii iu proper sense, is oAeu improperly used in a totally differ ent one. A stanza is a collection of verses. In a regular poem, each stanza conlnins the same number of similar verses, arranged in the samo relative order. Hat ibis uniformity of arrange ment is very often disregarded iu poetry not intended to bo ?ung. In all ihym ?pg poetry, however, Ibo matter is di vided into distinct parts, corresponding1 lo paragraphs in preset and these parts aro properly called stanzas, and not verses. GAhnBN or I'AHADISI: for garden of Eden.-The word "paradise" menus .'park" or "pleasure garden." Adum and Kve wero placed in tho garden, or paradise, which tho ?xird Oed had ''planted eastward in Eden."

You?riKt.r for you.--We very fre quently hear thc compound personal pronouns, "myself" and "yourself," used where the proprieties of the language would require tho corresponding simple one, These compound pronouns have two important functions to perform, and only two. In undertaking any other duty, they transcend their proper limita, and aro manifestly out of place. They aro used reflexively, when thc object of an action ia the Hame as tho agent, whether, In the expression, tho pronoun is Ibo object of a verb or of a Creposition. We may say, "You are urling yourself moro tb a ll any one else." "You aro doing yourself more harm than any ono else." "Your misconduct brings reproach upon yourself." They are also used emphatically, in connection with tho simple pronouns. "I will not send him ; I will go myself." That ia, "I myself will go." Such cxpresaious an "I have a high re gard for yourself" are manifestly im proper ; and yet they are very common. -Naiad. Let us Have Prohibition lu Mouth Carolina? Tho lime lins at Inst arrived when thc great questiou of prohibition cun be dis cUBBod with impunity, and without any langer of tho government. Prior to '70* ibo belter clement of the Hiato having ?io influence with tho government of tho State, considered it useless to agitate the jueslion. After tho great struggle of '7G, when tho people got into power, wo were hen afraid to agitate tho question lest il night result in a split in the party and he overthrow of tho now government. Veer after year tho Democratic majority ias increased and strengthened, until tu lay, when lt is safo to nay that any ques ion eau bo agitated without detriment >r danger to tho government, and no letter timo will como foi a final settlo neat of tho question of prohibition for iouth Carolina. Wo do not propose tn inter into a discussion of tho subject nt his limo, but will say that henceforth mr paper will bo found a Htrenuous idvocnt? of prohibition, and that notti ng will bo left undone that can in any vay induce tho Legislators of thc Pee ?co section, nt least, to raise tho question md fight for prohibition nt tho next ession of tho Legislature. To the editors if newspapers in the various counties of be State, who control, to a great oxtent, millie opinion in your section, wo ask 'our co-operation in tho work, referring 'ou to our own county, Marlboro, where ie have had prohibition for a number of 'ears, as an evidence of the great results herefrom. Several yearn ago at almost very cross-road in tho county, n whiskey !en was established, and our entire omi ty was couBtantly in a stato of up oar and confusion. Farms wore neglect d, homes,- wives and children were leglected, business of every kind was leglected, to say nothing of the fights, mini?re, thefts, Ac., Ao., that were cont ained, ii". was tho evil that oven lepublican County .Commissionera de ided to stop its salo, end accordingly lld so. .Since tho anio of whiskey was topped our county has risen far above 1er shiter counties in point of agriculture, nd a more sober, steady, industrious ie opie than oura, inhabit no county. A ;reat many will say that if a man wanta /'.inkey nc will buy it anyhow. He will end for it to the nearest town where it i sold. While a few will do this, those O Whom tho clutche s of tho monster are Iready irremediable fixed, yet in the tnjorlty ol instances, rather than go to be trouble of ordering they prefor to do rlthout it. There are a score of men in f?riboro County to-day-good men, and 3 many, instances members of tho church, rho owe their very honor to prohibition a their county. In other worde there re men who wish to live sotycr, bonor ble lives, and would : do so a ; long as .blakey is kept out of their Way, but rhy in former years, having allowed the abit to grow upon them, aro powerless yen yet. to. resist its influence when Tough! ta,,contact with lt. Thero are thors who advance tho theory that it rill take money from the State that hould be kept bote. For Heaven's sake, an there bo a man so dead in appr?cia ion of human life and honor as to think ar a moment that the mn all amount of doney sent from the State for whiskey ould lu any degree counterbalance the ives and morals of our boys and young nen which ruo annually sacrificed under ho deadly influence- of tho evil placed at heir very doors?

Fitz Lee. an old Confederate bogieman, who rorie with Lee, placed his old war bugle to his lips and sounded clear and distinct "A Cav alry Charge." It was no realistic, so un expected, that many of the old cavalry mon jumped to their feet. When Capt. F. W. Dawson, of the Neir* and Courier, who used to he in Leo's division, heard the familiar call, he sprang from his scat on the stage and said : "I feel like I wanted to shout again as we used to. That is one of our old bugles." 1 - They tell a good story on a lawyer of Wooster, Ohio. A client charged with stealing a hog admitted his guilt to hiB counsel. Th? latter was noted for his honesty in private lifc. After think ing the maller over, ho said : "John, cut that hog in half and bring one-half to mo." John obeyed. Thc evidence for the prosecution was weak, and when he arose he won tho case easily by saying to tho jury : ''Gentlemen, I can hold up my hand lo heaven and say that the de fendant has no more of that hog than I have." - The growth cf thc cattle industry is wonderful. Twenty year? ago a million of dollars would cover the amount inves ted in cattle ranches in the United States, hut now tho investments are estimated at ono hundred millions. Not only in this country but abroad, agriculture hits been superseded in many places by cattle raising, which is lowering and will con tinue to lower Hie price of beef. - Australians have discarded tho horse bit and substituted for it a steel band placed over tho front bono of the horse's nose, to which appliance reins are at tached.
