Our readers will remember that soon after the interview of the Anderson Jour? nal with Couuty Treasurer, W. H. Frier son, we wrote to Col. Coward, endorsing all Mr. Friersnu said, and asked him what course to pursue. He replied as follows: Columbia, S. C, Nov. 2G, 1885. J". G. Clinhcalcs, Esq., School Commis? sioner, Anderson, S. 0.: Dear Sir?Your County Treasurer is entirely right in his view of the situa? tion. Tho Legislature created .the diffi? culty, and must cure it. Keep the schools open Until you hear from me to do otherwise. I think the only W3y out of the difficulty is the passage of an Act authorising the School Commissioners to make the same apportionment for 1885? 86 as was made for 1884-85. ' Very respectfully, : A. Ccayard, State Supt. Education. . We acted as he advised, and requited the Trustees to run the schools until we could receive further orders from Col. Coward. December 28, be wrote us again: J. (r. Clinhcalcs, Esq., School Commis? sioner, Anderson, S. C.: Dear Sir?You are right in approv? ing claims against any unexpended bal? ances remaining to tue credit of the sev? eral school districts from the last fiscal year; but you should not approve any against the school fund of the present fiscal year In advance of the apportion? ment. It is impossible for you to know what amounts will be placed to the credit of the respective school districts. Aiy funds drawn in excess of the apportion? ment, are unlawfully expended. Very respectfully, A. Coward, State Supt, Education. As we take it, this amounts virtually to an order to close the schools. We must, therefore, request the Trustees to close their schools at once. We can not approve any claims for services rendered after the 8th inst. The schools can not be opened again before Tune, possibly not then. This may prove to be best after all. We think it will. "The other speakers all have on badges: you have none?take mine." This thoughtful propositiou made the blushing young speaker happy, and the friend that made it happier. Like many little acts of kindness, apparently insig? nificant, it showed the true inwardness of the heart, the self sacrificing spirit that makes a young man lovely. Many a young man dates the begin? ning of his downward career with a Christmas frolic How is it with the boys in your school ? did they come through Christmas unscarred? My friend, you may have some work just here that will tax your mind and heart. Save the boys; Bave the young men from a life of dissipation. And don't forget that the moral tone of a school seldom, if ever, rises above the moral character of its teacher. We have on our table a number of copies of The Carolina Teacher. They are sent here for distribution among the teachers of Anderson County. Let every teacher call or send for a copy. This is a capital paper, edited by gentlemen of experience and ability. We would be glad to see it largely patronized by our teachers. Here, too, we find the Teach? ers' Institute, that excellent educational journal of which wc have several times spoken. Each of these papers will cost you only one dollar per year, and is well worth five times the money. Teachers, like other workmen, must have tools. They must have books and papers, and must use them. No work? man can claim to be progressive unless he knows something about the latest im? provements in the way of tools used in bis line ; and so no teacher can be con? sidered progressive, if he makes no effort to acquaint himself with the helps offered by the best thinkers of the day. He must keep abreast or be stifled by the dust raised by the advance guard. Hon? esty calls for it; the spirit of the age de? mands it. Now that you are fairly started on an? other year's work, would it not be well to candidly and carefully and prayerfully review the work of the last year ? Have you made no mistakes ? fortunate mau! Have made mistakes? and do you see them ? and are you determined to profit by them ? theD, I congratulate you and your patrons and your pupils. It is no disgrace to make mistakes, honest mis? takes ; it is a disgrace to repeat mistakes that are clearly seen and felt. Wise men make mistakes and correct them, or, at least, studiously avoid their repeti? tion ; fools make mistakes and heedlessly repeat them. You arc a teacher. Yes; you are a teacher, but what kind ? Have you ever .seriously considered the fact that you have set yourself up as ashaper of mind and a moulder of character't Have you ? have you ever seriously aud manfully thought of the responsibilities that hang about you *? have you ever calmly and soberly thought of the possibilities, the grand and fearful possibilities of a teach? er? If you have not, if you have been doing your work as recklessly as your youngest boy spends his Christmas holi? day, may God have mercy on you and on the minds and hearts entrusted to your care. You are a teacher: then be a true one; an earnest ono ; a progressive one; an appreciative one ; a sympathetic one; a courageous one; lear God, but regard not the opinions of man. A little money judiciously expended for a strong, sensible book or live paper will let many a ray of clear sun-light into your school-room and make your work much easier and much more satisfactory. Thousands of good books and papers are published daily. You can not get them aU?you do not need them all; but you can get such as will be of incalculable service to you as a teacher. One or two, or, if you can afford it, three good edu? cational journals ought to find their way to your room regularly. One good, solid, strong book that can give you something to-chew on every time you opea it ought to be on your table all the time. The papers aro necessary ; the good book is indispensable. A wise man recently said : "One may read papers until he be? comes as hollow as an empty barrel." He did not mean to discount the real merits of a well-edited paper; but sim? ply to warn against the indiscriminate reading of papers to the exclusion of books. Papers suggest and help; books broaden and deepen and crystalize your Stock of Information and give strength and energy to your mind. Would you make the year 1S8C the best year of your life? subscribe for two or three educa? tional journals and keep on your table all the time somo. good, helpful books. They are plentiful. Be careful in the selection, but get them. THE (SCHOOL BOYS CONVENTION. superintendents' section. Correspondence The School Bell. Dear Old School Bell: It has beeo a long time since we had our School Boys Institute, and I promised to give you an account of our "Superintendents' Meet? ing." It took a good while to get the boys together, for there was a circus in town and the boyS 'couldn't hardly tell which wo'?ld be the funniest, a circus or a "Superintendents Section." The circus had to "cave" though, and the "Superin? tendents Section" was crowded. It took a loDg time to organize, for everyone wanted to be president, and all the men wanted some real nice lady to be secre? tary so as to have the long speeches all written out, and a man does hate to write. Tom Squiers finally got it be? cause he run a school journal full of heavy articles nud promised everybody lots of tafly in the "weakly." After calling the meeting to order and telling the boys they needn't eat cloves just be? cause the "old fellows" did when the "big association" met, the president called the first speaker. Jimmie Henry, dressed in full Super? intendent's uniform of long-tailed, black frock coat, white vest and tie, black pants, and low cut shoes, and with white socks turned down over the heels, rose and moving over where the reporters could get it all down, began to get in his work on "What I know about the Un? knowable." Jimmie took a different viG?v of the subject from what we boys expected. "The Unknowable" he spoke of was his Superintendent, and be called him that because he had never known him-. The Supt. couldn't see an ordina? ry boy without a telescope, and to the boys he became the "Unknowable." Jimmie argued that' Superintendents used too much fine spun theory and not enough good horse sense. He claimed that they should "come off" their pedes? tals and be a little less the picturesque statue and more of a boy, a little loss of "from the known to the unknown, and a little more play with the pupils ; a little less bugology aDd more practice in find? ing the cost of beefsteak and bread ; a few hundred doses less of memory gems and a great deal more work in practical letter and composition writing. Ob, but Jimmie did wade in and give it to 'em. He sarcastically asked 'em if they took any papers for the boys and girls. Whether one solitary paper filled with pondrous articles would do "us" any good ? And closed by asking them if they did not think boys and girls ought to have a real nice illustrated paper like The School Bell. A paper that would influence its readers by its beautiful pictures as well as by its care? fully selected reading matter; and one whose artistic beauty gives it a right above all others to be "The Supplemen? tary Reading" to the elegant readers of the present day. [Tremendous applause.] DISCUSSION. Bill Shank rose to discuss the paper, a copy of which he had had for six mos. Bill said he couldn't agree with his dis? tinguished friend on the opposite side. For, says Bill, "We boys all know that we have more Tun, and don't have to study when the "Unknowable" don't know us." What boy could smoke at recess if the "Unknowable" was on the play ground? Are we to be slaves? Can't we play "hookey" without being known ? Are our rights to be thus bust? ed ? We don't want to write composi? tions and letters, and as for being able to calculate the cost of a cord of wood, it makes my back ache to think of it. As for The School Bell, what do we want of it ? The old readers are the best.. We learn 'em "by heart;" stand on one leg, lean against the desk and just sing 'em off, without botbering about the meaning, and the "composition out? lines" in the paper make me sick. No, boys, givo me the old "Unknowable," bugs, gem3 and all. Further discussion was given up, as a book agent invited all the boys out to take a drink of ice water and a cigar, and after giving out "sub? jects" for our next meeting the couveu tion adjourned. The following subjects were announced for discussiou at the next meeting. All the boys promising to be on hand early: 1. ?What is the best way of defeating an "Unknowable"? 2. ?Are the pupils uever to have beau? tiful newspapers "like older people," simply because the "teacher(?)" gets a trash premium or commission for intro? ducing a c!:eap affair filled with adver? tisements? 3. ?Have pupils .my rights that teach? ers are bound to respect ? 4. ?If ten dollars will supply a school of forty pupils with The School Bell In one year, could not a live teacher easily raise the money, if at all inclined? 5. ?Can school desks be so made that they will get eas-ier to sit in about 4 p. m.? G.?Should recess be abolished? 7.?Shall we lend our aid in favor of granting pensions to all faithful teachers after twenty years service? We hope, Mr. Editor, that you will stand by the pupils in these questions. We have no paper to fight for us, and when one does start up on our side the Superintendent never shows us a copy no: asks us to subscribe. Wo need a little help, for we pupils are not as bad nor as dumb as we are painted. We would study better and act better if teachers would only remember that they were once young, and that every question has two sides to it. You will hear from me again some? time. Yours truly, School Boy. P. S.?We just found out that our "Unknowable" was trying to prevent our taking a newspaper for Supplementary Reading. ?

In an account of the arrest of William Kennedy, a defaulting cleik of Wilson Colston & Co., brokers, the Baltimore ?American says: The bank was insured by the Guarantee Company, which will have to make good the entire sum taken by Kennedy, provided it does not exceed $5,000 the amount for which the bank was insured. Since the organization of the insurance companies, of which there arc but few, fleeing bank clerks and others employed by mcuo.y corporations have had to be very careful. No parent watches with more solicitude over his childre'i tiinri <i'o these companies over the men for whose behavior they arc re? sponsible. Should any of these men go astray despite their watchfulness, retri? bution follows surely and quickly. An appeal for mercy is out of the question. The company, unlike the employer, is relentless in its prosecution of tho offen? der. As a warning to others the law is usually allowed to take its course, a set? tlement as a rule, being refused. The firm or corporation from whom the money has been stolen has nothing to say in the matter. The loss is reported to the com? pany, which, after an investigation, makes good the amount, and then pro? ceeds to punish the offender. Few peo? ple have an idea of the immense business these companies arc now doiDg. They began to be organized about five years ago, and were instituted by the heads of leading corporations. Personal security has so often proven worthless that the banks and others grew tired of making a fight with tho sureties of absconding cashiers and tellers, and adopted this system of protecting themselves against possible loss. To attempt the capture and conviction of a fugitive single hand? ed was entirely too expensive, so, as a last resort, they formed a company in which leading bank presidents aud heads of corporations wore made directors. The success of the first, led to the organ? ization of a second company, until now there are a number, and all du a thriving business. They are officered and gov? erned like life and fire insurance compa? nies, premiums being paid and losses di? vided. Instead of appraisers and adjust? ers, the surety companies employ detect? ives, and their system is as complete as that of the United States Secret Service Force. In every city special officers are engaged, whose duty it is to watch over the charges of the company. Should any trusted employee for whom the com? pany is responsible turn out to be a man of bad habits, keeping late hours, drink? ing, spending much money, &c.,that fact is at once reported to the agency and a demand follows for the man's instant dis? charge. So popular has this method of insuring become, that with few excep? tions every bank and moneyed corpora? tion employing men who occupy respon? sible positions, requires them to give bond with one of tho companies as sure? ty. Only a few days ago all the clerks in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad Company were marched to one of these agencies in a body and in? sured for future good behavior and faith? fulness. In some instances clerks ap? pointed to positions of trust are required to give surety, pay the company a stated sum, like the premium on a policy. Fair Counterfeit Detectors, There is a very large amount of coun? terfeit paper afloat, and some of it finds its way to the treasury, when it is discov? ered in the redemption division. It is here that all the money sent in from out? side sources is counted and examined. Tho counting and sorting are done by ladies, and they arc the most expert in the country t They can tell a counterfeit instinctively, with eyes open or shut, and there is not a bauk cashier in the United States, or even among the large contin? gent now sojourning in Canada, who could compete with them in the matter of determining counterfeits. They can tell a spurious bill as far as they can see it, and the mere handling of the paper is enough for them to decide upon its genuine is. The silk paper upon which treasury notes are printed can only be made by expensive machinery, and it is a felony to even manufacture the blank paper without due authority. Under the cir? cumstances all counterfeits are printed upon inferior paper, which lends this great facility in the matter of detection. These female experts receive 875 per month for their services. They do noth? ing but count from 9 in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, and their bands move with a rapidity seldom acquired by the most expert bank clerks. But they make no mistakes. A miscount or a counterfeit overlooked comes out of the wages of the one making the error, aud two or three mistakes a month would wipe out a girl's salary, as some of the bills handled are very large. The great drawback of the position is the poison absorbed by the continuous handling of money. The backs of all treasury notes are printed ivith a pigment which consists chiefly of Paris green. Small particles of this substance are ab? sorbed, and in a year or two the girl who may have entered the treasury smooth skinned and healthy finds herself a vic? tim of lassitude, and with her hands and face broken out in malignant sores. Each employee is furnished with a sponge to moisten the fingers while counting. A new one is supplied every morning, and by evening it3 color will have changed to a dull black by the ac? tion of the poison. Notwithstanding this drawback, there is never any diffi? culty in filling vacancies.? Washington Letter. mi Kissed by Mail, A young postmaster of a village post office was hard at work when a gentle tap was heard upon the door, and iu stepped a bashful maiden of 1G with a money order which she desired cashed. She handed it to the official with a bash? ful smile, who, after closely examining it, handed her the money it called for. At the same time he asked her if she had read what was written on the margin of tho order. "No, I havo not," she replied, "for I cannot make it out. Will you please read it for me?" The young postmaster read as follows: "?I send you ?3 and a dozen kisses." Glancing at the bashful girl, he said: "Now I have paid you the money and I suppose you want the kissess." "Yes," she said, "if he has sent me any kisses I want them, too." it is hardly necessary to pay that the balance of the order was promptly paid, and in a scientific manner at that and eminently satisfactory t<> the country maiden, 'for she went out of tbc ollice smacking her lips as if there was a taste on them she had never encountered be? fore. After she arrived home she re? marked to ber mother: "Eh, mother, but this postolfico system of ours is a great thing, developing more and more every year, and each new feature added seems to be the best. Jimmy sent me a dozen kisses along with the money-order, and the postmaster cave mo twenty. It beats the special-delivery system all hollow."? United Slate* Mail. ?

I threw that Parlaga into the gutter and re? solved not to smoko again. For six months I suffered tlio torments of the damned. I wanted to smoke, \,ut I re? solutely refused. My appetite mesmwhiJo was growing better, my sleep was growlug rounder, and I could do morn work. I lid not smoke up to two or three years igo. After I had worked for uovett Icon jiours continuously one day, Jato at light; I thought I would try" a cigars a soothing inilucucc. I lit n cigar. It was delicious.

Several physicians and various patent medicines were resorted to, yet the disease continued unabated, nothing ap? pearing to make any impression upon it. Her constitution finally became implicated, the poison being in her blood: I secured a bottle of B. B. B. and placed her upon its use, and to our surprise the improvement began at oncn, ami her recov? ery was rapid ami complete. No other preparation ever produced such a wonder? ful change, and for all forms of Blood dis? ease I cheerfully recommend B. I?. B. as a superior Blood Purifier. It. P. DODGE, Yardniaster Georgia Railroad, Atlanta. Ga. From tho Athens (Ga.) Banner-Watchman. Uncle Dick Sauker says : Fifty years ago I had a running ulcer on my leg which re? fused to heal under any treatment. In 1853 I went to California and remained eighteen months, and in 1S73 I visited Hot Springs. Ark., remaining three months, but was not cured. Amputation was discussed, but I concluded to make one more eflort. I commenced taking tho B. B. B. about six weeks ago. The fifty -year-old sore on my leg is healing rapidly, and yesterday I walked about fifteen miles fishing and hunting without any pain, and before using the B. Ii. B. I could not walk ex? ceeding half a mile. I sleep soundly at night for the first time in many years. To think that six bottles have done me more good than Hot Springs, eighteen months in California, besides an immense amount of medicines and eight or ten tirst-class phy? sicians, will convince any man on earth that it is a wonderful blood medicine. It has also cured me of catarrh. There is a lady living here, Mrs. who has had catarrh for many, many years. I have known she bad it for fifteen or twenty years, and my father once doc? tored her, ?s she was then a tenant on our place. For the last two and a half years she has been bedridden, the catarrh of can' cer (the numerous physicians have never decided which), during her two and a half years in the bed, had eaten all the roof of her mouth out. She was so offensive no one could stay in ths room ; she could not eat anything/but could swallo w soup if it was strained. She gave up to die, and came so near perishing all thought she would die. Her son bought the 11. B. B., and she used several bottles, which effected an entire cure. She is now well and hearty. I have not exaggerated one parti? cle. Lucy Strong.
