THE MANNIN TIMESa
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1887
B. S. DINKINS, Editor.
It is gratify ng to learn that so ma
nv of the teachers of the county will
attend the normal institute in Sumter
next week, beginning on Mrnday. The
efforts of the School Commissioners
of the two counties in perfecting the
aauangements for the Institute, deserve
the plaudit of well done from all, and
especially from the teachers; and the
highest compliment the teachers can
pay to the labors of the Commission
ers is to attend the Institute. It is
for the teachers and for them solely,
and therefore, unless they are present
at its meetings, and profit thereby,
the Institute will be a signal failure.
Never at any other time in our histo
ry, has the public mind been more in
terested in the common cause of free
school education than now. The pub
lie money is being spent to improve
and elevate the teachers, andthey owe
it to their counties, their patrons, and
above all, their pupils, to take every
advantage of the means now being
provided for their enlightenment All
who possibly can, should attend the
Institute next week. It will be a week
most profitably spent, with but little
cost. The Williamsburg S!ar and Hr
cid speaking of the union between
Clarendon and Sumter to hold these
annual institutes says :
- It is to be hoped the scheme will be entire
ly successful, for the step is progressive-in
the right direction. Teaching is a profes
sion, and needs to be studied as a science.
New methods are displacing old ones and
the teacher who is ambitious to succeed must
keep up with the march of innovation and
progress. Attending one of these Institutes
and earnestly engaging in its exercises is
very helpful to the teacher of the common
school. Like one who ascends a hill, he
gets a better and more extensive view of the
surroundings. His ambition ip aroused by
the clearer idea given of the importance of
his work, and his thought is stimulated by
the new methods presented and tho discus
uions and lectures he hears.
The late appalling railroad accident
graphically described on this fourth
page, eclipses all the horrible catastro
phes known in the history of Ameri
an railroads. The latest accounts put
the total number of deaths at 156.
The most revolting part of this dread
ful calamity is that men, or rather
fends incarnate, banded together and
entered into a systematic robbery of
the dead, and living wounded. It is
too incredulous to believe- that their
are fiends in human shape, to prey
upon the property of the dead and
living people amidst a scene so har
rowing. It is believed that the trestle
was set fire to, to -wreck the train for
the purpose of robbe'y, and an arrest
has been made of a man suspicioned.
Panola Chit Chat,
~. EDTORPo:;o, Aug.12, 1887.
Ma.E9103:Over a week of con
-stant work of supervision on the pub
lic highbways of Friendship township,
'with not a single day of rest or recre
ation, afforded me a fine preparation
for thie'full enjoyment of my trip to
*Wedgefield on the 9th of August. A
special invitation by Captain Brown
to accompany the Panola base ballists
to Wedgefield was accepted, with
pleasure, for many reasons, not the
~least of which was my desire to look
supon the famous farming lands in that
.part of the State. W~edgefield is a
very preposessing village; strictly temn
*perate and religious. I suppose visi
tors upon first view, would claim
mnuch for it in the way of looks. We
beheld as fine farming lands as can be
found anywhere. These are fine cot
ton farms. The character of the soil
and the lay of the land indicate this
at a glance. The original forest show
a luxurious growth of oak, hickory
atbd, pirne. The soil is red loam. The
.ground is level or gently undulating;
the fields are immense, almost rivaling
the prairies of the west in extent. Mr.
James*Aycock is the most typical and
,extensive farmer we saw. He plants
:.six hundred acres of cotton and five
hundred acres of corn. We boarded
the fast train at Sumter, and with such
rapid transit cannot tell nothing of the
crops between Sumter and Wedge
geld. You scarcely have time to scat
-ourself comfortable before the whis
ble reminds you of the place of your
designation.
The Panolas arrived in Wedgefield'
at 11 o'clock. They were cord.ially
received by Messrs. W. T. Aycock
and S. L. Harvin. They had a long
tedious and tiresome journey of 24t
miles of wagon travel. Rooms had
been engaged by the committee with
every- comfort, above the large store of,
Mr. Aycock, which gave rest and nerve1
for the evening battle. Every atten
tion was shown the visiting clubs and
what capped the .climax, a grand din
ner was set in the Academy building,
and each one labored with the utmost
geal to satisfy the short-comings of a
keen appetite.
At 3 o'clock the teams left for the
diamond in conveyances provided by
the Wedgefields; the local club were
uniformed in white; the Panolas wore
blue. No occasion presented a more.
brilliant display. On reaching the
base ball grounds, the general appear
ance of spectators gave life to the oc
casion. The beautiful ladies so inthus
ed the Panolas, that they thought de
feat would be a serious calamity, and
the struggle was the more determined
on their part. The Wedgefield's are
a handsome set of young men, athletic,
strong, and muscular. They, if prop
prly mnanaged, can make themselves
the equals of maniy other clubs, if not
their superior, for they fought the bat
le with credit. Although the Panolas
were victorious, they had nothing to
boast of.
This was our first visit to this beau
iu vilage a stanger among strang-1
ers. We formed the acquaintance of c
Captain Moseley the postmaster. I (
found him to be a gentleman of cul-,
ture and exceedingly fine sensibilities.i
He informed iue that the Tites was'
taken by [only one subscriber, and if
the editor would send a samiple Copy,
it might be of inte.rest to the paper. i
Do this by all means-let your light'.
shine. This much I have promised;

Toy.
The Teachers' Institute.
M. EiOR . I do not profess to have
been favored with the gift of prophaecy, but
in keeping with that universal axiom,
coming events cast their shadows before,
it mu11.st Ue plain to the least discernlng indi i
that the time is not far distant, when the
teachers' Institute shall be universally ac
knowNledged. There are very many instanc
es that might be cited to show that we, as
teachers, are .coming." The advancing
step of millions of children can be her.,d in
the distance, and the Anglo-Americans :
becoming restive. There is a cloud no hlrg
er than a man's band appearing upon the
disc of our horizon. that Lespealks a great
change about to take place in the atihirs of
educ We. as teachers, must contm
to lecture upon the matenai and educational
advancern ut. TLe age demand it if we ex
pect to keep pace with the progress of the
19th century.
An army'40,000 strong is now charged c
with the education of our 10.00ih)jo youths. ?
That more than one-half of our school child- i
ren are in the hands of the utterly ineomu-c
petent, is an astounding fact. Some far f
reaching and all-pervading agency which i
will effectually reach the entire body of
teaehers is deuanded. We must have or
ganization, and well-defined plans of work
and executive power. In the etcrnal iltness
of things, the teachers' institute comes to!
the front as the required agency. The teach- t
ers' institute, thvugh, still in its infancy. s
assuming r.aamUoth proportions, and is t
destined to become a permanent part of our i
educational system. No means for its per- t
fection should be spared. We need iusti
tutes (1) to train our 400,000 untrainedI
teachers; (2) to keep trained teachers bright:
(3) to foster a professional spirit; (4) to 1
lead teachers to profoundly study child- I
nature, and the science and art of human i
culture. The.n the coriing teacher will fill
and honored position among the illust-ious 1
of the earth; he wiil stand in the arena of 2
thought and action, the peer of the states
man, the clergyman, and the philosopher,
he will ponder well the great problems of t
humanity; teaching requires talent of the I
highest order. Too long have theology.
medicine, law, and commerce, absorbed our
best men; too long has the error prevaile <
that any one can teach children. Soiety :
should demand her most gifted mnca -nid I
women for tEe school-roolm. Philip thank
ed the Gods that Alexander was born when
he could have Aristotle for a teacher. Eve- t
ry child has as much iight to skilled instruc
tion as the son of a king. The world's great
work is to provide efficient teachers for the J
masses for under his plastic hand the entire
nature of the child-physical, mental, and
moral--will bud, and blossom, and bear
fruit. The giandest, noblest manhood will
be the prodnct; then huuamity will enter
upon the 'sublime phases of human possibil
ities foretold by poets and philanthropists. 1
Then will be realized universal education .
and universai broth'rhood. Then will we t
cling to it with such undying devotion as
the christian pilgrims of the middie age s
cherished the last frnigment of the cross.(
And in conclusion, I know of no better open
ing for skilled teachers, than htre in the
sweet sunny South,.where the niocking bird I
sings us to sleep every night and the mag
nolias kiss our checks in the morning.

What are they? As a general thing they
are prescriptions having been used with
great success by old and well read phys

leges are required to discountenance propri-5

cates most cordially,-in order to prevent t
the risk that the sick and afietedi are liable
to, almost daily by the use of patent mcd
icines put out by inexperienced persons bor
aggrandizement only, and the employing
of inexpierienced and incompetent doctors
by which almost every village and town is C
cursed; and men claiming to be doctors who C
had better be undertakers, experimenting S
with their patients and rcbbing them of .'
their money and heath,-for the good of the
af~icted that our government protects its v
people by making laws to regulate the prac- u
tice of medicine by better experienced and 2
more thoroughly educated Physicians, and
thereby keep up the honor and credit of the o
profession, also form laws for the record ingj
of recipes of proprietary medicines, under t<
examination and decision of experienced y
chemists and physici'.ns appointed for that
purpose by the Governmnt, before they are. c
licensed for general use. Hie wvould most
freely place the recipe of Boschee's German

such laws, had he the proper protection, and
thereby save the prejudice of the peopie,
and avoid the competition and imitation of
worthless medicines.-L~piedfromn She Cdca
