BY CLINKSCALES & LANGSTON. Having just returned from the Northern markets, while the ring of the Auc? tioneer's hammer still re-echoes in my ear, I am now in a position to convince the moat credulous that my? LARGE AND VARIED STOCK Ib so far ahead (in style, pattern, design and texture) of any Goods at the same price, that there is actually no comparison. Any weak minded person can sell goods, but it requires soundness and years of experience to become a success as a "buyer. Having been in the business for 35 years, I have rilled the position of "buyer in London, England, Dublin, Ireland, and while in the employ of the great A. T. Stewart of New York, I reached the highest pinnacle of success as a buyer. I acknowledge few equals, and no superior, aud the monied force of our combina? tion in the New York auction rooms for the past fifcssu days will ring the death knell of many a high priced concern that has grown rich on the farming communi? ty, and their friends and acquaintances. Now read carefully, when you meet the Cierk or the Merchant. The; invite you, with a smile, to come and see them. And for what? They want to fatten on you ! That is what! NOW, A WORD TO THE WISE: PAY CASH FOR YOUR GOODS 9 And buy where you can buy the.Cheapest! That is, quality and quantity considered ! How long will you continue to follow in the old rat trap of the high priced, old acquaintance system, with its quaint and weird music of dry bones, pove-ty and servility, the relics of a by-gone age, when the world moved slow, and the eternal promise to pay was accepted as a basis of settlement? But times change, and men change with it, until today, like the radiations of ] the noonday sun that gives light and heat to tbe busy world, the? Iron Laws of Cash Down Before Delivery Ib recognized as the only sure and certain road to prosperity, beneficial alike to both buyer and seller. Then, if you have not got the money borrow it, And. Trade where yon can do the Best. In a word, you might as well go to find out an unmarried lady's age, who is over 30, as to beat my prices. The first is considered impossible, and I will con? vince you that the latter is also impossible. Do not wait until the Goods are all Picked Orer, But come at once and get first choice. I will give an absolute guarantee on prices against any house in the United State?. I invite all Merchants to examine my Stock, and I will guarantee to sell them Goods ten per cent less than any Drummer that comes into the State, and will also save them freight from the Northern markets. Plenty of Money is a Good Thing and Don't you Forget it. 3D. C. ZFL^OTSr, Leader of Low Prices. WALK IN, HOP IN, TUMBLE IN !

II RUSSELL, School Commissioner, Ander son, Si C. A good, classical male teacher can hear of a good situation, where there is a prospect of permanent growth, by writ? ing to iliia office. It is a fine commu? nity, convenient to churches, and a new school house is to he built. C0NCEKN1NG SCHOOL GOVERNMENT. "Govern Individuate???During my second year of teaching I read somewhere this piece of advice bearing upon the management of a school. It then seemed to me sensible advice, aud I determined to Iry it by following it. After ten years of experience in obeying this maxim, I am prepared to say that it has helped me more in the control of my school than any other single principle of action. Hence my present strong advocacy of it. What it means, why it should be fol? lowed, and how it may be carried out in the actual work of the school room, may serve as our plan of treatment. It means that in the^teachcrs effort to repress disorder, lo stimulate to greater exertion in studies to build up a more healthful public sentiment iu bis school; he should direct his efforts mainly upon individual pupils, not upon the school as a whole. It does not mean that the good order of the school as a whole should not be the end of the teacher's efforts, for no teacher should be satisfied until his eulire school, or rather every pupil in his school, is in order. But it means that this effort to secure the good order j of the whole should he made mainly ! upon tho individual members of that school. But the objection is at once mane thai this will be a waste of energy, that the teacher will only fritter away his time and powers by caring for individuals, when he should marshal and direct his school as a whole. Such efforts have been compared to that of a drill sergeant who tried to train each individual soldier instead of a number of soldiers in a com- ! pany, who f.ook each soldier and placed '? him in his proper place in the ranks instead of calling the order "Fail in." The comparison is net apt. If school management were solely training to mo chauical perfection of order arid mbv ?? ment, advice contrary to my maxim would I?, be-!.. But rvc do not admit for r. moment this superficial view of school management. Something of this is evi? dent in every well regulated school, but. this is far below our ideal of good school discipline. Correct outward deportment must spring from hearts recognizing the righteousness of order, and all must tend to moral education. I admit that the larger the school the mere of the mili? tary system may be necessary to secure sufficient order for the profitable pursuit of the purposes of the school. Governing individuals teuds more to the proper development of good pupil ship, and hence of good citizenship, it localizes responsibility. It compels, when skilfully employed, self govern? ment. There is probably not a teacher who has taught any length of tirao who has not hid the followiug experience. When condemning hia school or clasa for disor? der or failure iu lessons, he has, to his chagrin and disgust, noticed that only those comparatively innocent have "put on tho coat." Their sensitive natures concluded that of course it must be they who were meant; while those really moat worthy of censure received the con? demnation, as a duck receives the rain on his back. How much better it is to eelect those most in blame, anddetil with them individually, and generally i;; pri vate. Every community of children a;i well as every community of adults has its leaders. Mow true this is in every school of any size! There arc leaders toward good and leader- toward bad. As these leaders go, so go their adherents. Happy that teacher in whose school the strongest pupils arc the best. Such a school will govern itself. Alwaysunsuc cessfu! in any school is that teacher who fails to know and use these leaders among pupils. Study to discover the-c at the first, and "when found make a note of it." Those who arc strong mi tho side of right should be enlisted aud trusted at the start. Place responsibility upon them, not in public but individu? ally and privately. Those who are strong as leaders toward evil should he your constant study. Watch closely until you find some point at which you can influence them. Study to find some good point in their characters, for they ail have them. Discover something in which they are specially interested. .Meet tbem in this field. Show your in? terest in their specialty anil in them. Encourage them. Help them. Be hon? est and honarablo with them. Win, if possible, their good will. Strive lo keep thcrn busy. Appeal to their better nature. If all else fail, convince tbem that the good order of the school must ho maintained at all hazards, and to this end they must be made to obey righteous laws, in all this, again, work with individuals and suit your treatment to the varying natures of the individuals with whom vou are dealing.?Veof. George Griffith, New Tall: Stale Normal School, in the Teachers' limitulc. One of the first things to atlcmr.: !?? Lo consolidate the school into a uuity? .0 t;et the pupils into a habit of Ihiukiug P.bout fa; school as a thing of itself?so that yon can say "the school thinks "so and so,'" The advantage of this in here. If the teacher opposes disorder; for ex? ample, uingle-handcd, lie may have enor? mous difficulties; in his way, but if li;e wrong doer finds that "the school?' is opposed to him lie will p:".ise.

Gordon and Norwood and Livingstone and Teck all fussing, and ex-Governor Smith and Judge Mines in the bushes with their coats oil' Gordon says Norwood is a demagogue, and uses language on Livingston; Of course they hud to bring [?.?.?or Toni Lyon into ii as a side, show. But Tom can stand it. Nor? wood says he docs not like the word dem? agogue, and he cbailcnees Gordon for a talk. Thev all seem to be fri ends to I lie farmer, and arc almost ready to die; fori him. This suddeu and extraordinary lovo for the farmers is very touching ami pa? thetic, and i wish there were four or five senators to ?Aea. Such devoliou deserve; to be rewarded. To a man np in a tree the whole thing looks peculiar, and aomo kow reminds us of the soldier who go: scared early and wanted logo .home. J:>. while the minute balls were singing and whistling all around hi:n, he was found behind a tree with ids arms outstretched, and was waving them up and down vigo? rously. "What are you doing, Jake?" said a comrade. "I want to go home," said ho, "and Pin waving for a furlough." He wanted to get shot in the hand! There is :..:any an ofiice seeker, many a political iohiier waving for a furlough now. What is a!! this racket about, anyhow ? Who started it ? Who told the farmers thai they were oppressed and mistreated and imposed upon by nl! the rest of man? kind '? Genera! Gordon says he has been sympathizing with them for seventeen years, and Mr. Norwood has been troubled all his life about them. Governor Smith is awful sorry lor them. Livingston has wept in great anguish for them Well, it must bo r. bad. sad case, but to save ray life I can't cry a bit. I wish that I could. When I see folks weeping ail around mo, and I can't shed a tear, it makes me suspect my own heart. I'm afraid I've got oallottied in my old:age. I farmed as hard as I could for eleven years, and never found ont that I waa oppressed. I worked in the field with my boys. We planted and plowed and hoed and mowed grass and raised horses and cattle, and sold our produce lor a good price. Our corn always brought 50 cents a bushel at the crib and our hay $20 a ton, and nobody over came and told me that i '? wp.-; imposed upon, and I was >u?:b a fool I never found it oat. Joe Bradh / sisi been farm tug right c!o-.;.- by for t .-out.. year" and hasn'i found it out yo.l He must be awful fool. Joe used to bring his ccttou to my giii hcipro C got uu aud I asked him one day how he managed to make so im.ch cotton and corn and wheat and oats, and raise ::o many fat hogs, r.nd send his daughter to town to school, and buy a piano, and all that. Joe smiled and said : "Well, you must know that if I do not see the ma ries in the morning I have the headache all day, and as my house is down iu a hollow, I nave to go to the corn field or. cotton patch to see the sun rise." I'll bet sio that Joe don't belong to the Alliance. Ho hasn't got time. 'When a rainy day comes you will iind him in his workshop making a plow stock, or mend? ing his harness, or cleaning out iiis stable. He saves every spadeful of barnyard ma? nure and puts it on his laud. I had oue tenant who worked bard and prospered. I had two others who were always behind. They had a power of business at the mill or at town, or at some mooting house, and when the creek w&s muddy they were just obliged to go seining. Their crops were always in the grass; ac-d they are in the grass yet I reckon. They belong- to the Alliance, and are waiting fur something to turn up. This is plain talk, but it is true tall:, The greatest enemy the farmer ha? got is hi.-, own indolence. No man succeeds at anvlliing who does not work diligently. ifn man would work as hard on his farm as Keub Saltcrfiftld does in his store; lie would prosper. Mr; Satter field is a good merchant. He i? at his store before I get up. His dinner is sent \n him r.r. busy day-: After suppar he goes back to bis sl?;re and works on his hooks. He h neve'- idlej aurl is making money; It is the same way with all trades and professions. It is very nice and pleasant to set about and tall; and read *hc news, but the lawyers in this town who yai most all the business :.re rarely see.1! on the streets, and they entertain uo loaf ers. Diligence, diligence is the secret of succrss, and diligence ought to b* lite se erer password of the Alliance. I wish I knew exactly who it is that is oppressing the poor farmer, i think I would get a big stick and ?O for him. I wish Lknew the distress that hangs like a millstone over my friends, Gus Bates and Tern Lyon, and old man B?rge, and C. M. Jones aud Connor and Tnmlin and John Brown, and a host of other big far mers in the county. They have ali got rich enough to leave homo when they please, anil send their children off to cot logo, hut still they are not happy.

Bill Ai:i\ He tout ;i Helping Maud, To ii,c Editor of the Zsem and Courier: The greater part of the summer just past and of the summer before J spent it: Middle Tennessee. I was engaged in a geological survey that had for ih object the careful examination of about two hundred square miles of territory. Our party and our field were no small that instead of camping out wc depended upon the hospitality of the people. This method of prosecuting the work brought us into intimate contact with a large part of the people in the country, and among them wo found the usual Dumber of interesting characters. One of our earliest acquaintances was one of the squires with which that part of the country seemed specially to abound. He was the oracle of rhe little town near which he lived, rind by many wa- known simply as ''The Squire." As such we soon learned t-i call him, and such shall now " e my designation of him. Mi.- simple good nature ami Trish humor made hire a very pleasant companion, 2nd hid lartre, comfortable house in the middle of our field was so well situated that ws were not long in arranging to make it genera! headquarters. Until bedtime', after our early supper, we used to sit around the front dem, listening to thfe Squire's opinions and catching hits of his ?fe history as he talked. When at lOGgl htimacy seemed to warrant it, he wits induced to t?.-i! us more folly of ois life. Then the: frscougrniiy of-'-our sur roundii gs was exj lained. Jt turned out that the 'Squire had a life-work. When but ? a stripling his father had died, leaving to his care a mother aud two sisters. Receiving all the buffets usually bestowed so impar? tially upon the struggling poor, the Squire's hear1, was softened toward the poor rather than hardened toward the more well to do. He determined to lend a helping hand to all whom he should Cud most needing a friend. Providence, rather than choice, brought first before him a deserted woman whose character was lost. His experience with her en? couraged him to believe that much could be done with this class, and realizing tiiat neue .so much needed help he deter? mined to he their friend whenever they would allow. As hard work and good trading began to establish him a3 a successful farmer, the Squire was able to widen hi ; circle of Usefulness. His large farm began to be known as the place of refuge where the outcast migb: be- protected from tempta? tion aud allowed to try life again. He would receive women of both races, and whole families wh^rc the parents needed help or encouragement in .vstraiatug (v&ntoan&si in their children, After fifteen or twenty yeara' residence in the ncigtibe'rhobd where he'was bom im had the satisfaction of knowing that there <;a-, no wort!:!..-, woman in reach except a few who prefe rred a life of wautonness. Abnut this time a business veuture led him lu move forty miles to the place where I met him. Here he has tst'nid come fifteen year;', Iiis ?rork crowned ! stiii with its old success. This new country has been so weeded of bad char aetrrs that the lass recruits Lb his c-tab lisUment came thirty miles. When a woman's character seems to have l>2sh I rc-esiablisbed, ho tries to get her some good; safe place oi service, or lie tries to marrry her. He could no! tell how many had left him to go out to service, but between thirty and forty had been married in his house, this number not including a good many whom he returned to their own hearthstone fioin which they had wandered in forgetlu!nc-!S of their marriage vow. With some who j had been under his csre I became ac : quainled. and of others I learned from ! neighbors. Tiiere were very few who returned to their old life. Tito Squire is growing old, aud is no longer able in bear the care of his life as he ouce was. For Lhc last few years ho has frequently been urged to give up hi-: charge, but his uniform and indignant answer lias been : "Never!

There are few Methodists in South Carolina who have not heard of Sandy Springs camp meeting. This is one of the oldest and largest camp grounds in the up country. Themecling just closed was the sixty-third which has been held since the establishment of the present grounds seventy .veer- ago. The 'stand-' now in n o iva-s built in 1SZS, and seme of the tents are perhaps as old if not older. Hundreds and thousands of souls have been here converted to God; and no humau tongue can tell the half of what God lias done for His people and for the advancement of Methodism at these annual meetings. Ifere the lathers ot Meli:.- dism laboredin the years agone, aud the voices of Dan nelly and Ihi:: woody, Capers and Wightmati, and a score or more of men of ?be mould were often heard pleading their Master's cause with an eloquence and force scarcely equalled and never excelled. This was our first vis:: to this historic spot. We determine.! to enjoy as much of the meeting as possible, so we reported ;'<;:? duty at the first service Thursday evening. We found tbc-Prcsidirig Eider, Uev. .T. Walter Dickson. and the Pastor, Jlev.T. C.'OUell, in. |>iace, and lie vs. C.Ik Smith, J. X. Wright and Sam Blackmail reached the grouud with us. lie vs. C. V. Barnes, .T. F. Anderson, A. M. Attaway and John Altaway came in later. An efficient force of local proach ers and consecrated laymen was also on baud, ready to do ail in their power to contribute to the success of the meeting. We have seldom heard more direct, ear? nest and affective preaching than was done ou this occ'^iou. We did not hear a single indifferent sermon, or one that was not attended by the influence and power o: the Holy Spirit. The hearing was also good, which, contributed in no small degree to the success of the preach? ing. The congregations for the. most part were attentive and devout. On Saturday and Sunday tiie crowds in at? tendance were immense, and the atten? tion, particularly at the night services, was not as good as could have been de? sired, though fully a.' good as could have been expected under the circumstances. The Word preached wan not in vain. Sinners were convicted aud converted, backsliders were, reclaimed, and the members of the Church were greatly quickened and blessed. One of the most-precious services of the meeting was tbe informal after Ser? vices .Friday afternoon. "A* this very spot (pointing to the space just in front of tlio pulpit) I was converted just filly years ago," testified an old brother who had come over from Georgia to renew his covenant with God at the place where he found peace and pardon a half ceutu ry ago. ''And just there I was converted fifty-three years ago," said another aged brother. And thus one after another teitTied, while saints rejoiced as the Spirit of God was poured out upon the assembled congregation. It was a scene and au experience that will not soon be forgotten by those present. It was hard to tear one's self away from such pleasant associations before the close of the meeting, but the Advocate claiming our attention, we reiuctantly bade the brethren good-bye Monday morning. The meeting was to continue until the next day, and we sincerely tru*t that the last day was the very best of them alii Of che dual results of the meeting our readers will likely be in? formed in the next issue of lb': Advocate, Saturday afternoon we attended Use fourth session of the Quarterly Confer? ence for this charge?Pendlctcn circuit. We made a note of seven:! items that deserve reporting. One or two we must mention here. Uev. J. L. Muliinuix, a local prcaohi'.r, i-Apndted that he had pr* aciied during fhe year at T<?e regular appointments, had preached 80 sermons, bad taken the names of Id applicants for Church inf:k.bership, had made 70 pastoral visits and bad traveled over ljlOO miles in meeting his appointments. Wc have seldom heard a more creditable report', and hope its record here may stimulate oilier local preachers to like diligence; The Pastor's report also deserves spe? cial mention. One hundred a:.d three bad been added to (he Church during the quarter on profession of faith and twelve by certificate, a total of one hun? dred and fifteen. Forty adults and twenty-one infants had been baptized. The Pastor reported gracious revivals at each appointment, and ali of his special meetings had been conducted by himself and li's local helpers. .If any are in? clined to think that we can't have gra? cious revivals without the help of a pro? fessional evangelist, let the above report convince him of the contrarv. This being the Presiding" Elder's last year on the district and hia last Quarter? ly Conference for this charge, very com? plimentary resolutions were adopted by a hearty and unanimous vote. This action, coming as it did from Iiis old neighbors and friends, those who had known and loved him front childhood, was specially appreciated by the Presid? ing Eider; and was a graceful and worthy tribute to his fidelity and success in his high and holy office. The Presiding Elder gave us opportun ity for a fail representation of the Adco rate, its claims were presented to the Quarterly Conference on Saturday, and wc were offered the privilege of present? ing this :nt^;';s' to the congregation Sunday afternoon. But two sermons in the open air had so affected our voice thst we were unable to avail cmrsclf of this Ia;:er opportunity. The Presiding Elder promised to ? resent the matter himself at the JI o'clock service on Mi-.;1 ay, and we hop. for the be-t of re s.;!:s 'Vom that speech. But our space is full aud the (rain is neartng Columbia., so these notes must be brought to a close.
