Any teacher who desires real success muBt know what true teaching is and must be willing to work for it. Teachers who would possess true teach? ing power must earnestly desire it. -Aspi? ration must precede inspiration; and he who truly aspires to be a teacher of power will never be satisfied with the simple ability to perform from day to day a bund rum routine that will eventually prove his pedagogical shroud. The teacher with natural gifts for the work, is often envied by tho?e who might surpass the object of their envy if they were willing to make the necessary effort. To the teacher who has such slight love for her work that the hands of the clock always move too slowly toward the hour of dismissal, when claBS rooms and pupils are left with a sigh of relief?to such a teacher the work of teaching is the most unpleasant drudgery, and the results achieved are usually in keeping with the teacher's conception of her po? sition. Such teachers are, as a rule, joined to such idols as text books, and teach no more than the "book says," if indeed, the book is thoroughly and properly taught. Vain it is to talk to such teachers of aspiring toward the power of the true teacher. If they succeed in keeping their classes in good order, in preparing the pupils to answer the questions of the offi? cial examination, and in retaining their positions, all is .veil. It matters not whether they develop mental power for future requirement or not. The car of educational progress is evidently getting into motion, and the sooner or later the teachers refuse to walk in the light will be left far behind. Our well qualified teachers must be willing to relinquish old ideas, which have been proven erroneous. Only the valuable old is worth preserving if we would keep pace with the progress of the present. Wheu aspiration is fully awakened in? spiration will be the sure result; the desire for cultivation cannot be repressed, and education crowns all. "When an acorn falls upon an unfa? vorable spot and decays, we know the exact loss; but when the intellect of a rational being for want of culture is lost to the great ends for which it was created, it is a loss which no man can measure." These words of Edward Everett should be indelibly impressed upon the minds of all teachers. By tbinkng of them we con? clude that the hours of chilhood are of incalculable value; we have no right to put the helpless child under the guidance of one who does not know how to teach ; no one who does not know how to teach should undertake it.? W. E. Bissell, in the Teachers1 Institute._ LOOK ON THE BRIGHT BIDE. Let us encourage children to tell the pleasant things that happen to them, that they see, that they hear, that they can think of. Of two persons returning from a coun? try walk at sunset, one may have encoun? tered?so far as can be gathered from his own story?nothing but dust and mosqui? toes, while the other may have truly seen "the vision splendid" of glorified earth and sky, and may also have stored a little sunshine for the daily task, the sick room and the more somber thought of a com? panion. In nature it is generally easy to point to the brighter side. The sunshine is an obvious blessing that need not be com? mended to any child; but the rain, he must be told, is none the less necessary to refresh the parched earth; the cold weather is bracing and healthful, and it brings the delightful snow, and the hot weather ripens the fruit and grain. In immediate surroundings nothing is more important to one's own comfort and that of others, than to. insist on seeing the better Bide. The window may be draughty but we should be poorly off without its light, the room may not be all that best could be desired, but if it is ours, we will make the best of it. In lessons we may point to the interest, the beauty, the novelty, above all the satisfaction in doing, work well?excel? lence in degree of whatever kind the task this it is that that glorifies the "daily round." In circumstances let us see the best, especially in the little things of every day. Homely and trivial details may carry high teaching. A lady about to start on a journey southward returned to her room in a New York hotel, burdened with a num? ber of parcels of irregular shapes and sizes, of the very sort to be troublesome in travelling. She had intended to pack them in trunks, but on enquiring found that the latter bad already been carried down stairs. "Oh ! very well. We will put these things in shawl-straps," said the lady cheerfully, with not one word of complaint to jar upon a companion's ear, A young girl standing by silently absorb? ed the lesson, and for years after made "shawl-straps" one of her watchwords. She smiles at the recollection now, but she is still grateful. It is such things that get into the warp and woof of chil? dren's lives. ? Finally, let us?children and grown people?learn together to see the best, the very best, intellectually, morally and emotionally, in our companions. In that way lies "the charity that thinketh ho evil."?M.?A. Carrolt, in the Teacher's InfliliUe. How Far Can You See? How far can we see from any given height ? This is a question that occurs to the inquisitive mind frequently. From the Eiffel tower, the highest artificial structure in the world, say 1,000 feet, we would enjoy a circle of vision bounded by a horizon 39 miles distant. From Mount Everset, the highest peak in the Himalayas (27,000 feet) one should see, if the air was clear enough, nearly 200 miles. Though the horizon is restricted, the business or professional men, housewife or social queen particularly, suffering from loss of appetite, general debility, dyspepsia or fiom a threatened attack of malarial fever, should see their own well being sufficiently clear to Becure a bottle of that King of Medicines, Dr. Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic.

Nashville, Tenx., Sept. 20.?A Chat? tanooga (Tenn.) special says : A romance dating back thirty-five years culminated in a happy marriage here last evening, the parties being Mr. George W. Clolz of Buffalo, N. Y., and Mrs. Cook of Galena, 111. In 1855 they became en? gaged and the young man went West to seek his fortune. Failing at first he ceased to write, but succeeding at last went East to redeem his promise and found on his return that the lady had married. Since then the matrimonial partner of each died and the survivors had not seen each other until yesterday when the gentleman, en route to Florida, and the lady to Atlanta, met in Cincin? nati. Mutual explanations followed, the love of their youth was renewed and in Chattanooga they were made huBband and wife and went on their way rejoic? ing. 5TG, OCTOBER 9, 18? BILL AUF Talks about Tilings around Homo "Which People Should Look After. Atlanta Constitution, One thousand and ninety dollars for a heating apparatus for the school building. Mr. Hunnicntt said that was the very lowest price and so we closed the contract. All that money to keep the children warm. We have just been bled to the bone to get our new building ready, and dident think much about how it was to be fired up, and now comes another big expense. It is all for the children, and they don't care a cent what it costs us. They don't know how we have to turn and twist, and plot and plan to keep up with expenses and taxes. I am glad they don't. I wouldent have mine to know how much I am troubled. It seems to me but a lit? tle while since I paid about $200 for taxes, and now here it is again. Town taxesj $119; "pay by the 15th or I'll levy on you," says the marshal. If you owe the merchant you can put him off, but the marshal is going to have your money, whether you have got it or not. Nothing certain but death and taxes. In a month more the State and County will want another ?100. I wish I was poor and dident have anything to tax. No I don't, either, but if I was poor I would take comfort in dodging taxes. This free school is not free to me, but is free to the poor. If I was a poor man I would vote for fine public school buildings, and a fine courthouse, and a big tax to work the roads. I would vote for iron bridges across the rivers. I would vote for coun? ty bonds and city bonds to raise lots of money, and have every big road macada? mized, and have a good school in every militia district. If I was a right poor man and was envious of the rich I'd vote for everything that would tax him, aud that would improve the condition of the peo? ple. It is the strangest thing in the world that every' negro and most every poor white man will vote against all progress all improvement. The man who worked hardest against building a schoolhouse is liable for only forty-five cents ot the cost. I gave him half a dollar and told him to hush and he hushed. The poor people have no reason to abuse the rich. The rich keep up the government and the courts and bridges, and protect society, and make life and property secure. One tenth of the people pay nine-tenths of the taxes. That shows a very unequal dis? tribution of wealth, but there is some good in every bad, and the good in this case is that the rich have to pay nearly all the taxes, while the poor receive an equal share of all public benefits. Our State press is on the right line now. Good roads and schools are bigger things than politics; A United States Senator can't give us either. Our people have endured bad .roads so long that I'm afraid they would be scared to travel on a pike. They would go round it for awhile, cer? tain. There are five miles between town and my farm that wore everything out in two winters. Long red hills and muddy hollows, and deep ruts and turnouts, and gullies that were awful close in dark nights, and streams that were dangerous in swollen waters. It is unpleasant even now to recall the mishaps and breakdowns and narrow es? capes that beset us on that oft frequented road. How often and how anxiously would the good mother go to the door and look into the gathering darkness for her belated children when they were belated. How glad to hear the cheerful song they always sung as the tired team rose over the hill that overlooked our homo. That five mile stretch iaNthe worst part of the road to Fairmount, and it could be made perfectly level by easy grading around the hills aud would be a Bhorter way. But I reckon it will be where it is and no better for years and years to come. The County won't fix it, nor charter any? body else to fix it. In Kentucky you pay a nickle every five miles to roll sweetly over a pike, but our people would think it a Southern outrage. Twenty miles over a smooth, level, rock-bottomed road for 20 cents. Three bales of cotton is a good load for two mules from Fairmount, and it takes all day to make it. Six bales could be hauled on a turnpike, and with less strain on the team. Twenty cents toll would save two days' teaming. Just think of it, farmers of Fairmount and Pine Log, and all along the lino. Don't you think your alliances can find em? ployment here? Is this not something better than politics ? Kentucky has these pike roads everywhere, and so has Ten? nessee. Then, why not Georgia? What will Mr. B?rge and Mr. LeConte do about it when they get to the legislature? What will anybody do about it ? Good, smooth dry roads in the country will keep the young farmers contented. I rode over one in Tennessee with a farmer boy for twenty miles, and we made it in two hours and a half. He bragged on his colts all the way and was happy. They are not happy when hauling cotton or wood over our roads. They bret>k down sometimes and uso cussory language. A bad road is the nursery of profanity. There is not a more pitiful sight than a heavy-loaded wagon broken down in a mud hole ten or twenty miles from home and a cold win? ter rain meandering around. The wagon has to be unloaded, the broken wheel ta? ken off the spindle. Somehow or other the old man gets it to a blacksmith shop somewhere, while the boy Bhivers for half a day by the campfire. They travel in wet clothes and mud and get back home sometimes in the night, aud would swear off from farm life if they could. Of course they would. Such things take away the farmers boy's spirit and he longs for a brakesman's place on a railroad, where he can ride high and dry at twenty miles an hour, and take the chances of breaking his neck. Yes, the two beat things for the farmer are good roads and good schools, and they can be had if the Alliance says so. Vote for a tax large enough to secure good teachers?Christian teachers who will give moral training, and lift the children up to a higher and more ho' ? rul view of life. Moral training, good Lubits, good principles, are of more importance than maps and figures, but let us all go along together. A youth had better not learn to write if he has no moral training to keep him from forging a note. He had better know no bookkeeping if his prin? ciples incline him to false entries and embezzlement. There is a radical defect in the public school system, especially in the North, where teaching is an ice-clad and ironclad business?all mind and no heart. Tbey have only 4 per ceut of il? literacy, while the south averages 24, but their convictions for crime outnumbers ours five to one, according to white pop? ulation. We are proud of our public school in Cartersvillo, because our teachers never lose an opportunity to impress good morals and good principles upon the pu? pils. When my daughter tells me that Ella or Lou or Mary is a good scholar, I always ask is she a good girl, is she kind, docs she know the golden rule, or is she vain and conceited ? Some of the smart? est scholars I know are the meanest. I don't care how smart a boy is in figures, if he will cheat another boy in a trade or impose upon those who arc smaller thau he is. I still love the boys who were good to me. Most of them are dead, but I love to recall their kindness in my mem? ory. Kindness makes adeeperimpression than scholarship. I fear that this feature in our schools has too low a place. It should have the highest. Scholarship does not make good citizens, but morality and principles do. Is he honest? Is he truthful? la he'strictly temperate? Is he willing to work ? are the questions that are asked when a young man seeks employment. Will the ^teacher teach these things, should be asked of every applicant for a place in our schools. Bill Akp. 10. JUDGE HASKELL>S POSITION. The Stralgktouta Should run a Ticket. Columbia, Sept. 29.?Judge A. OV Haskell to-night handed this Buren, the following letter: To the Editor of the Neios and Courier : Since the nomination of Mr. B. R. Till? man by the political body which assem? bled on the 10th instant at the State House undu the title of the State Demo? cratic Convention, my name has been somewhat freely, though generally with courtesy, handled by the press in connec? tion with the office of Governor and op? position to the Tillmnn party. I have received letters from men whose patriotic motives commanded my respect, and I have had the assistance of nearly a column of deprecatory editorial advice by the Atlanta Constitution. Difficult as it has been to refrain from answering the letters of my friends, I have kept silent for the reason that, having presented my views to the con? ferences held in July and September, and not having been sustained, I deemed it unfitting to continue to press them on the public, never mind how unchanged my judgment may remain. I disregarded the implications and the advice and the comments of the press because they were without authority, but I am now forced to speak in answer to the following pub? lication because it claims authority: "Washington, Sept 27.?Colonel John C. Haskell, in an interview with a local paper here, in speaking about bis brother receiving the nomination for Governor, said: " 'I am certain that this movement will receive no aid or encouragement from my brother and the other Demo? cratic gentlemen on the ticket. Though they dislike Tillman, they are Demo? crats. I had a talk with Judge Haskell recently, and if he had entertained any .idea of allowing himself tobe nominated by the opposition he wonld have taken me into his confidence. "'This scheme will not work. Of course the Bepublicans may go ahead and vote for this ticket, but it will not avail them. As much as I dislike Till? man and his methods, I propose to vote for him. So does Senator. Hampton. I consider it the buundeu duty of all true Democrats to cast their votes for Tillman. So far as my brother is concerned you may state in the strongest terms that bis nomination by the Bepublicans was un? sought by him, and that he is averse to any such coalition.'" I am sure that Colonel Haskell would not have used my name or claimed to speak for me unless he was confident it was my desire, or at least that I had no objection, and unless he felt sure that ho understood my views, but we are all liable to mistake and misapprehension. While he has been entirely sincere and has not made statements that he did not think exactly represented me, neverthe? less the interview makes an entirely wrong impression on the public, so far as I am concerned, and while I would remain silent if I were the only thing at stake, I have too many friends who have stood by me to let my position be for a moment misunderstood. It is this: I will not vote for Mr. Till? man, and I contend that no Democrat should vote for him. For the reasons: First. (A.) That his "manifesto" was false and hostile to our Democratic party ; (B.) That his speeches throughout the canvass were slanderous and misrepre? sented the State and its people; (0.) That he charged our government since control was acquired in 1876 by the white people with dishonesty, corruption and perjury, all of which he and hiB associ? ates know to be untrue. Second. (A.) That the Democratic Convention in August wilfully and wan? tonly violated the written constitution and the spirit of the party. That the majority of that body by bold and open violation of the constitution expelled the duly elected delegates from' Fairfield County, and finally forced the delegates from Charleston, Beaufort, Georgetown Sumter and Bichland to retire to avoid participation in further illegal proceed? ings, whereby thi? Convention was dis? solved and had no further power to rep? resent the Democracy, certainly not the Democracy of the six Counties that re? tired, for the Democratic Conventions of the Counties represented and ratified their action, thereby repudiating the subsequent proceedings of the body. By the unlawful body remaining, and in direct violation of the written law a new constitution was adopted and a new exec? utive committee elected. (B.) The Con? vention for the 10th of September had been called by the lawful executive com? mittee and could not, under the constitu? tion, be organized for business except by the chairman of that executive commit? tee. The new executive commiitee asserted their power, ratified the call for the September Convention, and claimed the right to organize the body. The legal executive committee, instead of asserting and maintaining its rights, made terms with the usurping committee, and it was agreed that the lawful chairman should firat call the body to order, but that it should not be in order until the usurping chairman should also call it to order. The Convention was thus sur? rendered to the illegal chairman, who practically did convene the body and control its organization. Protest was made, but without avail, but that protest Bpoke for a free people, who should not submit to partisan tyranny and gag law, whatever the struggle may cost. This body, thus called"the Democratic Con? vention, proceeded to business by thus expelling the duly elected Democratic delegates from Fairfield, and seating the Tillman faction, and theo expelled the County of Sumter because the duly elect? ed delegates were from the legal Demo? cratic Convention, and the Tillman dele? gates claiming the seats had not a shadow of title. The Convention took up the question of nominations, and at that stage, already having appealed for our legal rights, having presented a protest, but finding it void to call for truth and jnst?co, myself, with some others, retired from the body and washed our hands of its proceedings. Technically, therefore, as a true Dem? ocrat I cannot vote for Mr. Tillman. Legally I should not vote for Mr. Till? man. From self-respect I will not vote for him. Not only not vote for him, but a ticket should be run against him. Minds that are entangled by political office are warped by the importance of success. It is to the people who disregard office and to the people who are broad enough and high enough in patriotism to work for the whole people and not for a class and section that we should appeal in an issue like this that involves all that is dear and sacred to those who love truth and virtue and piety, without which no people can be noble and happy._ A bold stand would at any time have checked this down grade party. The fight is harder than in 1S76 because wo have waited too long.' But it is never too late to do what is right. There are. many good men who have been for "the change" as it is called, who would have affiliated under very different leaderd and on sound principles if the men whom we havo honored and Mr. Tillman has maligned?the men who have represent? ed us and conducted the government since 1876, and the men who redeemed the State in 1876, could have thrown off the "race" terror and disregarded the same and vindicated the principles of our true Democracy. - But the same timidity, honest, but mis? taken, which so nearly suppressed us in 1S76, had too much power in the recent canvass, and though heroic efforts were made by a few, the many were silent and refused to gird on their armor because it VOLUM beemed to be internecine war. Better that than to surrender principle and en? dorse by a vote the blackest and most unfounded charges that have ever been made against the State. This brings me to the last point: "So far as my brother is concerned you may state in tbe strongest terms that his nom? ination by tbe Bepublicans was unsought by him, and that he is averse to any such coalition." No such nomination has been sought nor has it been made. The sentence taken by itself may be entirely correct, but in conjunction with the preceding produces a wrong impression. Of course, I cannot seek or accept a nomination by the Republican party, for I am not a Republican; no, more could I accept a nomination by theTillman party, because its platform is au anti-Democratic as is the Republican platform. But I will not avoid the issue, and will speak the truth as plainly as I can. No man more than myself deplores the ex? ercise of suffrage, or I should Bay the right of suffrage, by the colored race. It puts the weaker in conflict with the stronger. The inevitable result where tbe Anglo-Saxon race meets a weaker is subjugation. From 1868 to 1876 the weaker, led by white men, backed by armed force, oppressed the stronger. In 1876 the position was reversed, and this State assumed the attitude held by other Southern States?tbe white race dominant and the colored race with tbe suffrage majority passive. This condition is anomalous and can only be continued by the preservation of two factors which have prevailed, but have steadily dimin? ished from year to year until now. The I first is a government which commands the approval and consent of the whole white population. The other is such protection of person and property and .all legal individual rights of the colored race as reasonably compensates their surrender of suffrage and renders their condition better than one of antagonism. This was the appeal made by our noble leader in 1876, and this was our platform. The election was carried by the aid of | from twelve to eighteen thousand colored votes, and our Governor was trusted by all and beloved by most of both races. Eight years of trial had strengthened the patriotism of a devoted people, and bad purged their reason. The nature of the new government was then' understood and accepted by all. Concessions were made by representatives of all classes and all opinions were recognized and respect? ed. In the State ticket of 1876 the leaders of the opposition were given positions of rank and honor. The State was a united body. We will not trace the history. Take the results. The press denounces and the Representa? tives of the. people resent what is called the arbitrary and oppressive rulings of j the House of Representatives in Congress, and perhaps properly. Take the conven? tions held in this State in August and September of this year and view the con? duct of the president, sustained by his majority. Speaker Reed's rulings are but as child's play compared with the expulsion of delegations and the passing of resolutions by this Democratic presi? dent. The unity is destroyed, and a party divided against itself is worse than no party. Therefore, though the truth be bitter, it is safer to recognize it and act promptly. I will not make any personal comment on the Tillman leaders or their records, or the claims they may have upon the hearts and minds of the people who have adopted them as their guides. I simply say that their principles and their prac? tices are alike inimical to the notions and "actions of tbe ideal government of 1876. That ideal government was established, and its continuation has so far contribut? ed to a period of unexampled prosperity throughout the State. The party now seeking power denounces it in epithets that it is needless to repeat, as they have been heard in every County and corner in the State for six weary months. Tbe issue is plainly before us. Shall we try to preserve those principles which have been so dear to us and productive of good to all, or shall we abandon them for we know not what, with much to fear and little to hope ? We have a responsi? bility, not of our own making perhaps, but it is on us, and what an all-ruling Providence has placed man cannot remove. We have our own race "to pre? serve and we have another race to pro? tect. Our government is dual in its object, but single in its representation. The white man is to govern, but tbe black race is to be protected. This is not only our moral duty, but the viola? tion of it is, and justly so, our temporal ruin. We feel no assurance that the Tillman government, an unrestrained, powerful minority, will be other than reckless and oppressive in its execution as it has been in its incipiency. I there? fore unequivocally advocate an opposi? tion ticket, to organize a minority if we can do no more, but to control the gov? ernment if possible. With this Demo? cratic ticket in the field we should ask the support and maintain the rights of col? ored votes as "we did in 1876. I would not mistake the colored people. The white man controls the property and will control the government, but when the white race divides it is a question with the colored race which party will best govern the State. On .this their vote must depend. The wretched spectacle of purchase and bribery is almost sure to follow. Therefore I wish tbat the race could be disfranchised if we could have a guarantee of their protection. But that is impossible. Their right of suffrage is their nominal protection ; the class of white people theey support is their real protection. Friends may raise a great outcry against any allusion to colored voters, lash them is it without precedent? I ask them and some of the most virulent to came the municipal elections, outside, perhaps, of Charleston and Columbia, when this vote has not been called to the front. I ask* for the returns on the elections held to impose the bonded debts for the construction of railroads and other purposes during the last twelve years. These returns will show that the Democrats whose interests were at stake did not hesitate to outvote the taxpayers by the aid of colored voters. I would remind my friend from afar off, the editor of the Atlanta Constitution, who has been a consistent- Tillmanite, to look at the scenes in his own city, when the force of his paper was divided and worked on both sides of the prohibition question. What use they then made of the colored vote at bis very door! And he probably an actor in it. Facts are stronger than rhetoric. The denunciations may be bitter for political reasons, but the men who utter them have asked for the color? ed vote ere this for their perhaps proper success. To end it iu a word : It seems to my humble judgment more important at this day to oppose the election of Mr. Tlilman than it was to oppose the election of Mr. D. H. Chamberlain in 1S76. Friends loved and esteemed charged me then with folly or madness. I will be charged in like manner now. The results vindi? cated my judgment then. God only knows the future; but my conscience is ray law, and no party will or race terror shall strip me of the right to say or do what my sense of duty dictates. A. C. Haskell.
