^ ' STATE OB COUVTY VO&MAI T
' We are glad to know that our views, on
the State Normal are, in the main, en?
dorsed by Mr. Sale, the intelligent School
Commissioner of Newberry County and
editor of the Newberry Herald and Neat,
He argues that there is a necessity for
both State and County Normals. We
think he is wrong. The experience of
the past-few years has clearly demon?
strated the fact that the State Normal
fails to reach that class of teachers for
whom it was-in tended when first brought,
into existence. It has proven a shot
wide of the mark. Who attend the State
Normal 1 Teachers in High Schools and
Academies. Were they the ones had in
view when our law-makers passed the
Act authorizing the State Normal ? Cer?
tainly not. The purpose of the law, if
. we mistake not, is to improve the teach?
ers in our public schools. We contend
that this class of teachers can be reached
through the County Normal, and through
the County Normal only. At the An?
derson County'Normal, held under very
unfavorable circumstances, vte had 65
teachers in attendance. There are 37
Counties in South Carolina. Let every
County have its Normal Institute, and
put the average attendance as low as 40:
that would give in the State an attend?
ance of 1480, and out of that number
there will be 1200 of that class for whose
special benefit the law was enacted, and
who certainly moat need it. Mr. Sale
proposes that the State Normal be located
in Columbia, be made a permanent insti?
tution, running about five or six months
during the year. In our judgment we
are not ready for that yet. Our public
school teachers, a very large majority of
them at least, are not able to spare that
much time during the year, and many of
them unable to pay their necessary ex?
penses in Columbia that long. Besides,
the railroad fare from the various points
to Columbia and return amounts to no
inconsiderable sum. South' Carolina is
. at this time too agitated over the State
University question to think for a mo?
ment about establishing in Columbia or
anywhere else a State Normal Institute
of high order. Those teachers within
?he borders of our State who want exten?
sively comprehensive Normal instruction
can better afford to go to. another State
for it than South Carolina can afford to
furnish it them. .
Better teachers are what-we want?
what we must have. How can this end
be reached without an increase of the
tax ? That is the question. We hold to
our position formerly taken : do away
with the State Normal entirely; increase
the appropriation for County Normals.
While we can not endorse the position
taken by Mr. Sale, we are, nevertheless,
glad that he has expressed his opinions
so freely, and hope lhat by our mutual
efforts we may induce some of our So Ions
to shake the matter a little next Fall in
Columbia.
We like Mr. Sale's plan much, but
think it impracticable now. A well
conducted State Normal, centrally, lo?
cated, would be the means of rapidly
disseminating the principles of scientific
teaching, but teachers are not yet in a
condition to avail themselves, of its bene?
fits. From onr standpoint, the County
SKoTmal seems to be the safest, the surest
and most extensive in its grasp. Let the
subject be ventilated.
The Trustees of Hopewell Township
are a set of determined, independent
gentjamen. They think for themselves
'"and act accordingly. Last Friday, they
spent the whole day in equitably locating
their schools, regardless of the expense
necessarily incurred by the changes
made, and with stoic indifference to the
attacks of disgruntled citizens. We like
that sort of pluck. We like that kind of
business. These gentlemen found, after
their attention had been called to it by
gome others deeply interested in the
schools, that the existing state of things
was not in accordance with demands of
[justice, proceeded at once to make such
[location of schools as would be at least
f&quUable, if not entirely satisfactory to
Kill parties concerned. They took a map
p?tf the Township, pledged themselves to
Ktaow^man, and proceeded as their own
-judgments directed them. In our judg?
ment, the locations are well made. The
meeting to be held at Liberty Springs on
the 22ud inst., notice. of which may be
seen in another place in this column, is
_in the interest of a ten-month school.
This is a step in the right direction.
The people in that community are able
to keep a good teacher in charge of a
comfortably large school ten months in
the year. By all means let that step be
the result of the meeting, and may it be
??be-forerunner of. many similar ones in
the County.
We give below Mr. Burriss's prompt
response to our question last week. Mr.
Barriss is one of the live, progressive
teachers of the County, and the Teach
era' Column is always glad to hear from
*-him: WA patron of a free school may bt
benefited in himself by attending a Nor?
mal, for the very capital reason that he
will learn there lessons of a practical
nature to him that he never dreamed of
before. It will benefit him, directly and
indirectly, by enhancing his appreciation
of what and bow his teacher is being
{^qualified to teach that free school, and
this to such an extent that he will re?
solve before the Normal adjourns he will
not be a supp6#e*-e?^ree schools only,
, but a remunerative patron of the school
and teacher that is prepared to teach."
We have received a most beatiuful re?
port from Mr. Trussell, Clerk of the
r Board of Trustees for Honea Path Town?
ship. The making of our annual report
to* Col. Coward wonld become an easy
task if we could get such a report from
every Board of Trustees in the Connty.
We are requested to announce a meet
^iog of the citizens of Hope well Town?
ship as Liberty Springs, Tuesday, 22nd
inst., 2 o'clock p. m. The meeting is in
the interest of a school to be located at
that place. Let every person interested

? Last week a dog fell into a gentle?
man's well in town, and efforts were made
to save tne well. A rope was lowered
with a noose at the end, with the hope
that it might catch around him. But be j
was a plucky little fellow and didn't want j
any fooling around him. He went for i
the rope at once, "seized the bit," and
clung to it like grim death till lie was
drawn to the top. That dog was never j
made to, be drowned.?Sparfqnbvrg Her- I

[From the Manama (Va.) Gazette.]
When Bull Bnn's furious battle cloud,
Swept o'er-these homes of ours,
When aU the Southern-voice, "loud,"
Protested tyrants' powers.
When women shrieked and brave men
cried,
To see their homes so rent,
And every true heart, truly tried,
' With every effort bent.
To driye the intruder from the soil, j
Their quiet homes restore;
Let war and turbulence recoil,
And peace reign evermore.
'Twas then that those who donned the gray,
Strong in their country's cause;
Deserted hearth stone, sought the fray,
For "justice," not applause.
Among the braves who dared to do,
And in the earn age bled;
Before mv vision rises two
That fell where Jackson led.
From thence -ore brought for safety's
sake,
Beyond the battle's range;
They knew not whom would victory take,
-Or what might be the change. ?
One was a parent, aged and gray,
Whose son fought by his side ,*
The father fell that fatal day,
The following, he died.
Alloying son's de voted care .
: Soothed his lost dying breath ; .
One lonely watcher at the bier,
The sepulchre of death.
Beside the corp. > I watched alone,
(Nine summer:? then was I;)
Requested by the son who'd gone
His dripping limbs to dry.
Beside him in that last, long sleep,
D. A. Led better lies,
Far from the h ome; the friends that keep,
Our dearest memories.
They rest beneath a lone tree's shade,
j (Not on the field of gore,)
Where war her wildest havoc played;
For them the war was .o'er.
Beneath the same tree's fragrant bloom,
In idle childish pleasure,
"Not dreaming here would mark a tomb,"
I've often roamed at leisure.1
There sleeps beneath this quiet tree,
The same, both night ana day,
Two hearts as brave as hearts could be, -
Two rebels wearing gray.
They've served their country, just and
true,
They've fought the fight of faith,
They've done as all true men should do,
j And now they rest in death.- . t
There side by side the vigils keep
Watch o'er those forms of clay, j '.
While there Iri honor's fame they sleep, !

"Bushy Park;' Va., March 24, 1885.
The two -fallen heroes to which the
foregoing has reference, who sacrificed
their lives to the lost cause, "a cause"
though lost, none the less renowned, fell
mortally, wounded in the second battle of
Manasses or Bull Rhu in August, 1862,
and were brought, with a number of
other wounded soldiers, to a farm house,
Northwest of, and about three miles
from, the heart of the battle, which was
still raging with all its deadly fury.
Here they died very soon afterward, and
were buried in an open field beneath a
large persimmon tree, where a till reposes
all that's mortal of'Col. D. A. Ledbet
ter, of Orr'a South Carolina Rifles, and
Capt. Miles M. Norton, of the same
Regiment; he being exempt from mili?
tary duty by reason of age, volu n tee red
his services in the Confederate cause,
doubtless, not less from a patriotic sense
of duty, than to follow the fortunes of
an only ^son, Capt. J. J. Norton; who
subsequently lost his left arm at the bat?
tle of rredericksburg in December, 1862,
I at which time he: was Lieutenant Colo
oel in command of his Regiment. He
has once visited his father's grave since
the war.
How She Caught Him.
"What's your real name ? Is it Bill,"
or Tom, or Bob ? or what is it ?"
I reckon. I shook like a leaf, and I
didn't know hardly what to do.' So I
said it wouldn't be no use to try to play
it any longer, and 1 would just make a
clean breast and tell her everything. I
told her my father and mother was dead,
and the law had bound me to a mean old
farmer in the country thirty miles back
from the river, and he treated me so bad'
I couldn't stand it no longer. I stole
some of his daughter's clothes and
cleared out, and I had been three nights
coming thirty miles. I said I believed
my uncle, Abner Moore, would take care
of me, and that was why I struck out for
this town of Gosheo.
- "Goshen, child? This ain't Gosben.
This is St. Petersburg. Goshen's ten
miles further-up the river."
"Well, I've got. to be moving along.
I'll fetchGoshenheforedaylight*' ? ?
"?old onra minute^ I'll put you up a
snack to eat; you might want it." So
she puts me up a snack, and says:
"Say, when a cow's laying down, which
end of her gets up first ? m Answer, up.
prompt now. ? Don'Pstop to study over* i
it. Which end gets up first?"
"The hind end, mum."
"Well, then, a horse?"
"The for'rard end, mum."
"Which side of a tree does the, moss
grow on ?"
"North side."
"If fifteen cows is browning on a hill?
side, how many of them eats with their
heads pointed in the same direction ?" .
"The whole fifteen, muni."
"Well, I reckon yon have lived in the
'country. I thought maybe you was try?
ing to hocus me again. What's your
real name, now ?"
"George Peters, mum."
"\\Tell, try to remember it, George.
Don't forget and tell me it's Elexander
before you go, and then get out by sayiDg
it's George Elexa ider when I catch you.
And don't go about women in that old
calico. You do a girl tolerable poor, but
you might fool men, maybe. Bless you,
child, when you set out to thread a nee?
dle, don't hold the thread still and fe'ch
the needle .up to it; hold the needle still
and poke the thread at it?that's the way
a woman most always does, but a man
j always does 'totber way. And when you
throw at a rat or anything, hitch yourself
[ up a tip toe, and fetch your hand up over
; your head as awkward as you can, and
miss your rat about six or seven foot.
Throw stiff-armed from the shoulder, like
there was a pivot there for it to work oh
?like a girl; not from the wrist and
elbow, with your arm put to one side,
like a boy. And, mind you, when a girl
tries to catch anything in her lap, she
throws her knees apart; she don't clap
them together the way you did when you
catcbed the lump of lead. Why, I spot?
ted you for a boy when you was thread?
ing the needle; and I contrived the other
things just to make certain. Now trot
along to your uncle, Sarah Mary Wil?
liams George Elexander Peters, and if
you get into trouble you send word to
Mrs. Judith Loftus, which is me, and I'll
do what I can to get you out of it.''?

A New Treatment.
The other day while a negro was pass?
ing by a cotton field belonging to one of
the beat citizens between Lexington and
Crawford he was heard to say:
"Dat cotton orter be snaked."
"What do you mean by snaked ?" was
asked him.
"Jes git a string, tie one end of it to a
long pole and a frog to totber, and den
swing the frog along over the rows so dat
de snakes will ketch bold of him and you
can pull em out. Dat's what 'snakin' is
and dat cotton's too grassy fer me to go
into afore it's snaked.' "?Oglethorpc

Strong Drink Makes Weak.
Strong drink is, in a sense, the weak?
est of all drinks in its fruits, and the
most prodigal also of that which is not
only the strength but tho glory of man.
It enfeebles his body and hurls the mind
from the loftiest and most brilliant emi?
nence, and lays it prostrate in the dust
of inert imbecility or driveling idiotism,
It squanders the money, and leaves
families in squalor and discomfort who
would otherwise be well clothed and
happy. The landlord's pleasant greeting
is hollowness itself, rendered even more
hollow still by the mercenary inspiration
which prompts it. We do not light fires
foi the herring's comfort, but to roast
him.
"But, doctor, I must have some kind
of a stimulant," cried the invalid, earn?
estly. "I am weak- and it strengthens
me. I am cold, and it warms me." 1
"Precisely," came the old doctor's
truthful answer. "See here; this stick
is cold," taking up a stick of wood from
the hearth beside the bed and tossing it
into the fire?"now it is warm. But is
the stick benefited?"
The sick man watched the wood first
send out little puffs of smoke and then
burst into flame, and replied:
"Of course not; it is burning itself."
"And so are you when you Warm" your?
self with'alcohol. Yon are . literally
burning up ? the delicate tissues of your
stomach and brain. Every time you are
taking it to give you strength, you are
becoming weak. And the stronger the
liquor is, the weaker it makes the drink?
er."

"But," I said when the boy had gone.
"I know that boy to be an honest, indus?

"Because he hasn't learned to say

SEWING MACHINE
PARLOR.
THE Ladies of Anderson and surround?

ted to call at my newly arranged Sewing
Machine Parlor, and examine the merits
of the various leading Machines for which
I am sole Agent in this and several other
Counties in Upper Carolina. I-guarantee
one aud all polite and careful attention.
The justly celebrated New Home is
still our favorite. It is simple, strong,
swift and sure, doing the widest range of
work, and equipped with nil the Intest im?
proved Attachments.
The Domestic is certainly a Star of
no small magnitude, and is celebrated for
its light and noiseless running, and its
handsome appearance.
The peerless White is KING, and is
highly appreciated by all who use them,
for lightness, simplicity and handsome
finish.
The Royal St. John ie certainly
the ACCOMMODATING Machine of the
day, as you can do beautiful and substan?
tial work, by running either way, without
getting out of adjustment or breaking
stitches.
These are the LEADERS, but I also sell
several other makes of Machines, and all
at low figures and on reasonable terms.
The Latest Novelty in way of a
Sewing Machine Attachment is the P. Byrne
Spring Motor. The complete operation of
a Sewing Machine with this Motor is so
simple and easy that a child, or the most
delicate lady can use it. Can be applied to
any Sewing Machine, and is loudly prais?
ed "by all who see its operation. Will run
from 10 to 1,000 stitches.t>er minute, at the
will of the operator. I have exclusive sale
of this Motor for the uppor portion of
South Carolina. Can bo seen in operation

BALL'S HAND PRESS-IMPROVED.
BY the attachment of Wheel, Pinion and Crank to the main screws, thcFollowers can
be run up in less than one minute, and al: o run down until it becomes necessary
to use a lever. The Ball Press, improved, gives universal satisfaction. It is reliable,
simple and powerful, as only screws can be. The Screws operate with double speed,
moving H inches at every turn. Two men can pack a bale weighing 500 pounds into a
space of 60x34x24 inches, in from 6 to 8 minutes. Abou*. 1,000 have been sold within
the past eight seasons. The doors open all around the bale; the box is full large and
makes much tramping unnecessary. Price 8100 Cash.
BEASLEY POWER PRESS.
To persons having steam or water power, would recommend our Beasley Power
Press, driven by one belt. The motion of the Follower is reversed by Lever and Clutch.
Throws itself out of gear when the bale is packed. Pulleys should make 75 to 100
revolutions per minute. The grand Centennial Prize was awarded this Press at the
Philadelphia and Louisville Expositions. Price $200 cash.
