All communications intended fo thisjolumn should be addressed to C. WARDLAW, School Commissioner, An? derson, 8. C. When and what was the first Magnetic Telegraph despatch sent ? The first day of January, 1891, was the 2,411,734th day since the commence? ment of the Julian Period. From this, will some pupil tell me what year this is of the Julian Period? I want it exact. Read the articles in this column from Miss Roberts and Lieut. Few. Master James M. Smith, of the Leba? non school, has Bent answers to the ques? tions asked in this column. It is appre? ciated, although not entirely correct. We Bay we feel bad, and not badly. How did tbis County come to be called "Anderson V What are the names of the six territo? ries in the United States ? The population of the United Stales is 62,480,540. The population of South Carolina is 1,147,161. The population of New York City, the largest city in the'United States, is 1,013,501. Thus it will be seen that there are more people in the city of New York than in the State of South Carolina. The popula? tion of the city of Anderson is over 4,000. * I want the name in fall, P. O. address and grade of certificate, of every teacher in the County; male or female; also, tell whether married or single, white or colored. Teachers will oblige by giving this at once. ' I hope every Teacher in Anderson County will subscribe for the Teachers' Institute?it is only $1.20 a year. Those who are taking it say they could not well do without it. Send me your name, with $1.25, and your P. O. address, and I will order it for you. PROVINCIALISMS. Almost every neighborhood has its peculiar expressions, its provincialisms. Were one to go from the np-coontry to the low-country, or one from the low country come to the up-country, either would bear many words and expressions he had not been accustomed to hear. It was the fortune of the writer, an up countryraan, to live in Sumter County last year, and he was much interested in noticing several expressions, peculiar to the people there, that be had never beard before. A few are given : A boy never says, "throiu me the ball I'! but "chunk me the ball 1" How this expression originated the. writer does not know, but tbis is a working hypothesis: it is im? possible to find a rock in that place, so when.a boy wishes to throw at a bird he must pick up a "chunk and throw it. One is compelled to throw chunks instead of stones, so when he wishes something from another he says "chunk it to me I" The well-to do farmer, in extending to you his generous hospitality, does not say "will you not spend the night with ns ?" but "wlll^you not take the night with ?b?" I was a little surprised and amused one morning when my host bade me to "sit up to breakfast 1" The negro generally calls the white man "buckra;" poor buckra, therefore, means a poor white man for whom the negro has the snpremest contempt, con? sidering himself made of better stuff than the poor luckra. If any of the teachers in the County know any provincialisms, could they not give them in the teachers' column of the Intelligencer? R. A. Few. Patrick Military InstituU. TEACH THEM TO BEAD FIEBT. Mr. Wardlaw?-Dear Sir: In re? sponse to your request that some teacher would give her views as to the relative merits of the Word and Phonic, and the A. B. C. methods of teaching begin? ners, I would say that I have used the former method for nine years and consider it far superior to the latter. It not only renders the early lessons of the child more interesting to him, but enables him to read with much greater ease and expression. With regard to the method of teach? ing script before print, I cannot speak so confidently, not having fully tested it, and I find some diversity of opinion on the Bubject among our best educators. Mrs. Rebecca Rickoff, to whom we are indebt? ed for our invaluable Reading Chart, says: "To simplify as much as possible the child's first lessons, and to avoid cramming, with its dazzling results, the reading of script should not be under? taken until the child has had considerable practice in reading print. Then the reading of script follows naturally, and, if introduced with proper regard to the use of known words and sounds, thus presenting to the child but the one diffi? culty of learning the new kinds of letters, becomes an easy and novel exercise in which he has the pleasure and stimulus of rapid progress." On the other hand, there are many who hold that script should be taught before print, and I think the adoption of this method in so many of our city schools is conclusive evidence of its mer? it. In the country schools, however, there are some difficulties to contend with which are not felt in those in the city, The shortness of the public term and tho irregularity of attendance, ren? der it desirable that the child should learn to use his book in the shortest time possible, (for if he does not it will be thought that he is learning nothing,) and the absence of Reading Charts in so many of our schools, makes the use of the blackboard a necessity. So we are almost forced to combine the teaching of scrip! and print, giving the word upon the board in script and teaching the child to recog? nize it in his book. I do not know that this method is in general use, but it is the one that I have adopted as the best for economizing time nd keeping the class interested. If there are any serious objections to it, or if any teacher can suggest a better way, I shall be glad to hear from her, as it is an im? portant subject, and one that concerns us all as trainers of immortal minds. Yous truly. Julta D. Roberts. BILI ARB'S CHAT. Every Knee has its own Sir Oracle. Atlanta Constitution. Of course it was a trick?somebody' trick?this gathering of the negroes to go to Africa. The myBtery about it all is that 51.02. They could have gotten $ just as easy?maybe $5. But it wasn't the trick of our people. The credulity of the negro is amazing. One would think they had learned something since freedom c?me?something about trusting stran gers. The idea of going to Africa for $1 and a postage stamp would convict any? body of lunacy. Two thousand of the dupes in Atlanta with their tickets and as many more all along the line to Wash ington?all waiting for the agent and the ships. Some went from Cartersville, and are on the road somewhere. They won't talk. They are bound to secrecy. They have been houdood. Education does not seem to rid the negro of the superstitions and vagaries that belong to the race. Every community has its oracle, its conjurer, its fortune teller. There is one over on the hill back of us. The women and the girls have more faith in her than in their preacher." If one of them loses anything she goes to the old woman, who listens to her story and floats some coffee grounda in a saucer and tells the name of the thief, and generally tells the truth, for she i'b smart and knows her nabora. My daughter's nurse went to her yesterday to have her fortune told, and said the old woman told her she would get a present before night from the good lady she was nursing for. Well, of course, that was a compliment, and my daughter dident go back on the colored oracle. Her good will is worth something when nurses are scarce. But I was ruminating about the exodus to Africa?not about the going, but about the desire to go. Is it a sign of anything ? Ever since I was a boy there has been talking and writing about the Jews going to Jerusalem, and sometimes the signs of it are pretty good, but they have never made a start. And now the wise men say that Providence planned the slavery of the negro for his good and waited 100 years for his civilization, and then sent Stanley to Africa to get the Dark Continent ready, and now that same Providence is inclining his mind to go there, and this is the beginning of the great exodus that is to come. Well this may~be so or it may not be, but it is all right if it is. Our people are willing and waiting. But the negroes can't swim and they can't be floated over for $1.02. One thing is certain?they will go when their time comes and not before. This thing was tried half a century ago and it was too soon and dident work. The Colonization Society meant well and spent lots of money. They built ships and sent agents over to Liberia to pre? pare the country for the colony. They took over thousands and thousands of negroes who had been set free by their masters in Maryland and Virginia, but they died like cattle with the murrain. Most of the States had laws which for? bade slaves from remaining in the State after they were set free. They had to go north or go to Liberia. But still there was a great many free negroes in the South?negroes who were born free?and they were a middle class between the slaves and the white folks. They were not up to the one nor down to the other. Like the Irishman's definition of a fairy, "They are the spirits of folks who are not quite good enough for heaven, but are a leetle too good for hell." And so when freedom came to the slaves, the old-fashioned, high-toned free negro was in a fix. His middle'station was knock? ed out and he felt it keenly and was mad. He was either down to the level of the "common nigger" or they were brought up to his. Most of them were respectable mulattoes and had trades and occupations in the towns like white folks. From that class all our Southern barbers came, but as one of them said to me not long ago: "I was always a dem? ocrat, sir, and mixed with Southern gen? tlemen, sir. I was in the Mexican war, sir, and I was intimate with General Henry R. Jackson and Governor Col quitt, and all the blooded stock. I asso? ciated with gentlemen, sir, before the war, but one day Mr. Lincoln took his pen in his hand and set all these black niggers free, and, before we knowed it, there was about 40,000 new barbers jumped up with a brush in one hand and a razor in the other, and we old-fashion? ed niggers hain't had any comfort since." I knew one of these high-strung mu? lattoes who got rieb, and owns a plan? tation, and bought some slaves and work? ed them. He never forgave the yankees for taking his property without paying him for it, and what was worse, they raised up the other negroes to be his equals, About fifty years ago an old gentleman died in our County leaving a large estate and over 100 slaves. He left a will in which he set free thirty-seven of them, and directed that his executors should send them to Liberia. He charged that they should be provided with abundant clothiDg, and when they embarked they should be given $200 apiece in gold. These negroes were his favorite house? hold servants and their parents and their children?they had been raised by him and treated with care and humanity and he was attached to them. They were reluctant to go but finally consented and old William, who was the trusted and confidential agent of his master, made preparations to go with them, as his master had directed. Their departure was prevented by a bill of injunction that was sued out by one of the heirs and the case had to go to the supreme court, where the will was sustained and the executor ordered to proceed with its pro? visions. Those negroes were sent from Savannah to Liberia on the ship Eliza? beth. Three years after their departure the old man, William and six others very unexpectedly made their appearance in our tonn and delivered themselves to the executor. They reported all the others des* and asserted that they had tried for a year to get back but were refused trans? portation by every vessel that came. Finally they hid themselves in the hold of a trading vessel one night, and kept hid until the ship had been three days at sea. Their rations gave out, and they came on dock and begged for favor from the captain and got it, for he was a kind-hearted man, and brought them safely to Philadelphia. The abolitionists of that city tried very hard to keep them from coming South, and would give them no money to pay their traveling expeu ses. William was well acquainted with Howall Cobb, who had been his master's guest in the old times, and who was then a member of Congress, and so he wrote to him at Washington, and Mr. Cobb sent them money and they came to him, and he gave tbeiu enough to come home on, and the old darky's face fairly shone with illumination as he told of theii trials and sufferings, and how happy Ik was to get back to his old home, where he could live with Mas' Tom, and die and he buried in the old family grave? yard. Mas' Tom soon heard of their retnn and hurried in to meet the old darkej who had taken care of him from infancy to manhood, and they wept and sobbee upon each others' shoulders and then never was a more touching, loving sceni than that. This is not much of a story but it is a true one, and my father wa that executor. Some of our Souther; E XXV.- -NO. 31. writers who knew rjothiog of slavery, caught the infection from northern liter? ature, and have pandered to the northern appetite, aud thereby found an easy ad? mission into northern magazines. Per? haps they were sincere, but it is a dirt) bird that fouls its own nest. ' The attachments that bound together the great majority of martyrs and their slaves were strong and beautiful; but they have passed away, and now it seems that the negro wants to go. The: two races are living together merely by force of oircumstancea over which neith? er has any control. How long they can ? live together depends upon their good J; sense and forbearance. I feel sure that ' I can live with them and keep their ;' respect and their friendship, bat per- >; haps it is because I used to own slaves and still feel and maintain my love and my superiority. Our class will eoon V f>aes away, and so will the old slaves who ^ ove to do us honor. How the coming i generations will harmonize I cannot I foresee nor foretell, but from the signs TV; I fear there will be less forbearance from * the one and less humility from the other. V ? The problem is not solved, and such political measures as the force bill will .; only make it more complicated?not,that>? the force bill will ever be enforced to * our injury, but the animus of it is bad. -V If the conflict comes it will-not be pre- V cipitated by us or our negroes, but it will be the same old strife that '? still rankles between us and our northern V? enemies.
