THE MANNING TIMES. S. A. NETTLES, Editor. WEDNESDAY, August 8, 1888. DARGAN AND MARION. The Marion Star, which is, by the way, one of the oldest and best papers in the State, takes us to task thus: The MYaso Tnizs, in its issue of last week, in speculating upon the chances of the candidates at the late Congressional Convention for this District, said editorial ly : "Two years ago the Marion delegation withdrew from the Congressional Conven tion because they could not defeat Mr. Dar gsna-" This is an egregious misapprehension as to the cause of the. withdrawal of Marion's delegation on that occasion, on the part of our usualy accurate cotemporary ;and one which, in justice to that delegation, it is tobe regretted that the TIMES should heve been laboring under for the past two years. That delegation entered that Convention under positive instructions as to the method of nomination which it should support an a without any particular candidate in view, and probably, in the absence of such in structions, and had it remained in the Con vention, a majority of the members com posing it would have supported Mr. Dargan on the first ballot and every succeeding one while. a chance remained for him, and would have also supported him in a primary had such been ordered. It was in for a fair and open race in which Mr, Dargan would have bad in equal ehance with any ether proba ble candidate. It represented a thoroughly prima* County and was instructed to ad vocate primary nominations in the District; but when it found itself in a convention in which partisanship was stronger than con sideration for the popular voice and saw that a majority of its members were bent upon placing a nominee in the field at all events-and without regard as to whether or not such candidate was the choice of the people, the Marion delegation, rather than be party to such a political outrage, with drew-from the Convention. Such. was the reason, and not hostility to Mr. Dargan, or any one else that caused the 'withdkuwal of that delegation and its action was endersed by this entire County. We do not desire to do injustice to anyone, or to misrepresent any see tion. We cannot now recall just how we got the- impression that Marion 'withdrew from the convention two years ago to defeat Dargan, but that impression is fixed in our cranium, the argument of .our esteemed con temporary to the contrary. We shall, however, take pleasure hereafter, whea occasion may offer, of saying on the authority of the Star, that all of Marion is not opposed to Dargan. We are glad to see that the Star, in another editorial, gracefully submits to the defeat of Marion's candidates. - Clarendon likewise had the misfor tune of seeing her first choice defeat ed, but like a brave soldier, she will, under the leadership of the gallant -T and noble Benbow, pile up Dargan's -miajority at the polls next November. -We confess to not liking the rea soigcontained in the third para grah above. Suppose the Marion &lgton was instructed to vote for primary, two years ago, that is no reasonfor desiring to use coercion to influence the rest of the district. The -- aority of the district just as strong 4 esrda convention, and we be lieve it is an accepted principle in a republican government that the mi nority must, right, or wrong, submit * t the will of the'majority. But did not Marion go into the convention this' time with simihir instructions ? Yet she did not withdraw when convention was again adopted. Pos sibly it was a delicate compliment to Clarendon, as we understand that on the fifth- ballot Marion would have 'ie Benbow her ten votes. Yet the tatis there that under similar con ditions the action was different, ex cept in one respect: two years ago it was certain that Dargan wouldi go in on first ballot; this year there was a possibility of Dargan's defeat. We mentioni this ashorroberative testimno ny that the Marion delegation with drew because they could not defeat Dargan. Almost any unbiased per son would have drawn the same con clusion. But we are glad to know that our conclusions were wrong. Dargan is a favorite with Clarendon, and personally we don't like to sup port any man unless he has merit. We are laboring under the imnpres sion that Dargan is very .popular in the entire district, except about Florence and in Marion. Florence and Darlington are rival towns, very jealous of eaeh other, and this prob ably accounts for that : but what is the reason in Marion? We shall be pleased to have our esteemed contem porary enlighten us on this question, for we cannot conceive of any cause in Marion for disaffection. Dargan has, in our opinion, made an excel lent congressman-a record of which be may be proud. The Teachers' normal school jiow *in progress in this town is one of the best institutes we have ever attended. Principal W. S. Morrison understands bis work thoroughly, and his lectures are very interesting. Dr. ~E S. Joynes, is a master in English, and very high authority in the'State. He always has something good to say. Mr. G. E Stokes is a young man, who ranks among the best educators ofithe State, and all his talks show study and thought. Every teacher in the county should attend, and any one interested in education will find much to interest them. The evening lectures will be a pleasing feature of the institute. The institute will close * aturday. General Philip H. Sheridan, of the UJnited States army, died last Sun day night in the fifty-eighth year of TEACHERS' ISTITUTE. The second inter-county institute of Sumter and Clarendon counties was opened in the Court House in Manning last Monday, with prayer by Rev. H. M. Mood. Mr. S. A. Net tles, of the county board of examin ers, then formally turned the institute over to Principal W. S. Morrison. Prof. Morrison at once entered upon his lecture, the subject of which was fractions. Prof. Morrison then brief ly took up the different rules in frac tions, and showed the best plans of teaching them, urging upon teachers the importance of doing their work well and carefully, and of teaching the principles of explaining the work by object lessons, rather than having a child to comunit to memory some dif ficult rule he does not understand. Let the child understand the princi ple, before he attempts a rule. At the close of the lecture an interesting discussion was entered into on wheth er or not it was best to teach rules, or to allow the child to formulate his own rules after he had learned the principles. Prof. Morrison had but little use for rules, and thought he would be willing to have arithmetics without rules. Dr. E. S. Joynes took up his half hour in talking upon the great difli culty of teaching English, owing to its wants of grammatical forms. He wrote the word "love" on the board, showing that in itself it had no gram matical life, but by its relations to other words it might assume many grammatical forms. This was a good example to show the difficulties of studying English. Prof. G. E. Stokes discussed the subject of teaching reading, claiming that the art of teaching reading was un questionably the most difficult to teach. He presented objections to the old style of teaching reading, the A B C method, the phonetic method, and the word method. He preferred the objective word method. The child learned to read by hearing the word as a whole, and not by knowing the integral value of the sounds of the word. At the close of the lecture, Prof. Morrison gave an instance of a class of young negro children at a State Normal in Columbia, who, in a very short time, learned to read, sing, &c., all by the objective word method. This was, in his opinion, the very best method of teaching reading. A ques tion was raised by Dr. Joynes why it was that the young people of to-day spelled so much worse than they did a quarter of a century ago, which elicited some discussion. Prof. Morrison gave the following words to the teachers to spell: Tran quillity, inflammatory, alpaca, ac knowledgment, infringement, insepar able, indelible, deleble, intercede, su persede, halos, millennium, metallic, contrariwise, tantalize, criticise, licenti ate, sacrilegious, numskull, tyrannical. Dr. Joynes took up each of the words, and annalized their spelling. The institute then, after several an nouncements, adjourned with the ben ediction by Rev. A. Nettles. A large anid intelligent audience asembled in the court house Mon day evening to here Prof. Morrison lecture on "Familiar names in local istory." Prof. Morrison is a fine speaker, and has a happy use of lan guage that at once captivates his au ience. He gave interesting histor ical facts connecte'd with many places and names in South Carolina. Those who failed to hear the lecture, missed a valuable treat. TUsDAY-SEcoSD DAY. The institute was opened promptly at 9.30 A. ar., with prayer by Rev. H. M. Mood. Prof. Morrison gave the following uotation, for the teachers to com mit to memory: Thou must be true thyself, If thou the truth wouldst teach: Thy heart must overflow if thou Another's heart wouldst reach. It needs the overflow of heart To give the lips full speech. Dr. Joynes resumed his lecture on English, directing attention to analy sis and parsing. Both were impor tant. A few years ago, attention was directed mainly to parsing; now to analysis. Entirely too little attention is given to parsing, the analysis of words, and in consequence very few of our young people can intelligently parse. We should combine the two. He treate d of the sentence, subject and predicate. The subject is that of which we speak, whether one or many words, and the predicate is likewise what is said, and nothing less is the subject and predicate. No one word should be taken out and considered a bare subject or a bare predicate, but all the words showing of what something is .said, and including all the modifiers, is the subject and the only subject. He claims that there is no such distinction as logical and grammatical subject. Analysis has nothing *hatever to do with word form. Prof. Morrison gave an interesting lecture on teaching writing. He pre fers to have the pupil count the strokes as he learns how to write. Best results can be thus obtained. Prof. Stokes explained the use of the reading chart in the primary schools. It was the best means of teaching and interesting the young child. Get the young child interest ed in his work by telling him stories, asking him questions, and usinig any means to interest him. Go slow in using the chart; several days should be spent on a page. The question boxt was then opened, and several interesting questions were discussed. Dr. Joynes thought that one examination for teachers should be sufficient. About twelve o'clock a fifteen min utes' recess was taken. Dr. yoynes resumed his lecture on English. He called the attention of teachers to several books that would be helpful to them in teaching. He that in the analysis of sentences, sep arate them into complete subject and complete predicate, without refer ence to their grammatical forms. Prof. Morrison lectured on history, especially local history, saying that history is a record of men's lives; not of battles. The object of history is (1) to quicken intelligence, (2) to im prove the judgment, (3) to enlarge the sympathies, (4) to broaden the character of life. The teaching of history should begin with home his tory of the present day, rather than ancient history in the times of Cesar and Darius. begin by teaching his tory of South Carolina, and the child will be far more interested. History teaching may be divided into three periods: (1) the story period, (2) cause and effect period, (3) the philosophy period. The first period belongs to school work, and the teacher himself should be a "saturated solution" of the subject he wishes to teach. The other two periods belong to college and university work. He suggested the following topics to the teachers in their class room, in teaching local his tory: (1) When and by whom was this town (or dounty) settled; (2) What were the first boundaries, and what are its present boundaries? (3) Tell all you know of the early settlers; (4) Name any important historical incidents connected with town or county; (5) Mention present indus tries; (6) Name town and county of ficers, and explain their duties. Prof. Stokes occupied his half hour in lecturing on spelling. He thought it was best to combine written and oral spelling. A word comes to us by seeing it written or hearing it spo ken. Write a word on the black board, let the pupils see it; erase it, and have the children write it. The exercises closed with the dox ology sung by the institute.

Dr. Joynes last night addressed an appreciative audience on the English language, which is, he said, one of noblest origin and widest range, and of incomparable wealth and beauty. It was derived mainly from the French, German, Latin, and Greek. As the English nation adds to its wealth by conquest, so the English laguage borrows from other lan guages what it needs assimilating them to its own use and kind. The lecture was expressed in beautiful language, and the tribute to the En glish language was grand. School Commissioners P. G. Ben ow and 3. T. Wilder are both attend ing the institute. THAT MAN TILLMAN. On our first page will be found ac counts of the campaign meetings at Sumter and Florence. These ac counts are from the News and Cour ier, and written by a man who hates Tilman. We are no advocate of Tilman, though we admire many things in the m-n and some things he advocates; and especially do we admire in this free country freedom of speech. Tillman and a number of the Chester citizens disgraced them selves in Chester in insulting the Governor of the State-Tillman in saying he had no respect for Govern or Richardson, and the citizens in yell ing to the Governor to sit down. Tfill man, however, immediately retracted what he said, but the disgraceful stigma still rests on Chester. Till man has been at most of the cam aign meetings, and comes out of them with considerable glory. By his manly conduct he has won the confidence and respect of the people, and while they still consider him an unsafe leader and wanting in Judg-. mert, yet he has coinclusively proven himself to be a man of true princi pes, a brave man, and withal a staunch Democrat. The correspond-. ent of the News and Co urier, bully like, attempted Monday, in Black vile, to force him, on the speakeds stand, to a hand to hand fight, but Tillman refused, saying ladies were present, but he would give him an opportunity later. This agitation of public affairs will do good, and can do no harm. Tillman is one "of the smartest men in the State, only he lacks judgment to balance his great zeal Mrs. L. A. Field, of Atlanta, Ga., has published a comprehensive history of the United States, which, from a cursory examination, appears to have many excellencies. It is written in an easy style, and facts and dates are grouped in a way calculated to assist the student's memory. It is printed on good paper, in cleax type, well bound, and is written by a Southern What is this Disease that is coming Upon Us ? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. The pa tients have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a bad taste, esIpcilly in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collets about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint, all gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but after a few months it is attend ed with a greenish-colored ex pectoration. The patient feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirl ing sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bow els become costive; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow; the urine is scanty and high colored, de positing a sediment after stand ing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some times with a sour taste and sometimes with a sweetish taste; this is frequently at tended with palpitation of the heart; the vision becomes im paired, with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our popu lation has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that phy sicians have mistaken the cause of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of these kinds of treatment have been attended with success; for it is really constipation and dyspepsia. It is also found that Shaker Ex tract of Roots, or Mother Sei gel's Curative Syrup, when properly prcpared will remove this disease in all its stages. Care must be taken, however, to secure the genuine article. IT WILL sELL BETITER THAN -COTTON. Mr. John C. Hemptinstall, of Chulafirmee, Cleburn Co., Aa., writes: "My wife has been so much benefited by Shaker Extract of Roots or Seigel's Syrup that she says she would rather be without part of her food than without the medicine. It has done her more good than the doctors and all other medicines put together. I would ride twenty miles to get it into the hands of any suf ferer if he can get it in no other way. I believe it will soon sell in this State better than cotton. TESTIMONY FROM TEXAs. Mrs. S.E. Barton, of Varner, Ripley Co., Mo., writes that she had been long afflicted with dyspepsia and dis ease of the urinary organs and was cured by Shaker Extract of Roots. Rev. J. J. McGuire, merchant, of the same place, who sold Mrs. Barton the medicine, says he has sold it for four years and never knew it to fail. SHE WAs ALMOST DEAD I was so low with dyspep sia that there was not .a phy sician to be found who could do anything with me. I had fluttering of the heart and swimming of the head. One day I read your pamphlet called "Life Among the Shakers," .which described my disease better than I could myself. I tried the Shaker Extract of Roots and kept on with it until to-day I rejoice in good health. Mrs. M. E. Tinsley, Bevier, Muhlenburg Co., Ky. For sale by all Druggists, or address the proprietor, A.
