D^TMayfielI), <'hairn.an Board Examiners. John Doe aiHi Ktcharri Roe Some time ago John D<>e had $400 in a savings fund. Becoming alarm ed at the financial depression he with drew his money antl now has it in his bucking. Sometime ago Richard Koe had $ 15,000 in bank. Becoming alarmed he withdrew the currency and hired a vault in the rear of the bank and the money lies there today. John Doe and Kichard Roe con gratulate themselves that they are pretty smart ? that they know a thing or two more thau their fellows ? and they are not slow to insinuate the same by sundry sly looks and myster ious expressions. At least they are safe from the 9torm. John Doe and Richard Roe are fools. Money is not made to l>e hoard ed. There is only $22.50 per head Gf the population and every person who hoafds more than that robs the public of that much of its share. Take care of your property and get all you can honestly, but don'ts hoard money. There is barely enough now. Suppose there vaa a bread famine because a certain number of John Does and Richard Roes had bought up more than they could, eat and stored away. Suppose there" was available only an average of twenfy four loaves apiece, which was just enough if each got his quota, and that John Doe had secreted 400 loaves in his cellar and Richard Roe had kick ed 1 5.000 in liis warehouse, would not public indignation be kindled against them? !' ? Neither money nor bread is of any value until used and no man has a moral right to place either beyond the reach of those who need them and are willing to give compensation tor them. Of course a man should be cautious and husband his resources.' But the man who thinks the proper way is to put his currency in a stocking or a vault is a fool and a public enemy. If there were a few more thousand John Does and Rich&rd Roes, the na tion would qnickly go on the rocks. Currency is the life blood of trade. The man *^o hoards it is a business vampire. Don't be fools. Don't wreck this country. " Take your money and put it in a bank, for if our banks all fail every other business will fail also and we will be in a maelstorm of bank ruptcy. Don*t be scared. Daylight is' at hand. ? Philadelphia Inquirer. AGAINST THE STATE: Judge Simontnn Deckle* l.hat Railroads Can Brinjr Liquor Into ttwf State. Greenville S. C., Aug. 21.? The decision of Judge Simonton in the United States Circuit Court in the hebcas corpus case of Langford was filed today. .Langford is the agent of the Rich mond and Danville Railroad at Pros perity, in this State. He was arrested and held under the twenty-fifth section of the State Dispensary liquor law for delivering to-the consignee a keg of whiskey shipped from outside of this State. The section referred to forbids any common carrier to transport, or any agent deliver, packages of liquor which have not the official certificate of the State's Dispenser that they are for the State Dispensary. The rail road company claimed that this section was contrary to the interstate com merce laws and the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The State claimed that it was the exercise of its legitimate police powers. , Judge Simon ton's decision briefly synopeized is as follows: The twenty - fiflh section of the Tflsp^asary Act makes it a misdemeanor for a railroad employee to deliver any intoxicating liquors from bis train, and without re quiring knowledge on his part that the package contains .intoxicating liq ors or that it is intended for sale. In every other instance mentioned in this section, including private carriers and railroad and express companies, knowl edge that the intoxicating liquor is intended for sale is expressly required. This is- a discrimination against one ckss of people ? railroad employees ? and is in conflict with the Constitu tion of this State, and so not within its police powers ^d therefore not within the provision^of the Act of Congress known as the Wilaoa Act This being the case, the clause of the twenty-fifth section of- the Dispensary Act under which the peti > tioner was charged and arrested, is void under the interstate commerce law and the fourteenth amendment* He must be discharged from custody. The State will probably appeal to tie United States Supreme Court The decision will cause the discharge of several railroad Agents in various parts of the State that have been ar rested as, Langford was. The rail road people claim that it virtually relieves them of restrictions in bring ing into the State and deliversng liqu YELLOW FEVER RAGING. i | DISTRESSING STATE- OF AFFAIRS AT BRUNSWICK. I liesalt of the General Exod aw? Starvation Stare Them in the Face? An Ap peal to the Nation? The Third Oa*e ot Yellow Fever. Savannah, Oh., August 23. ? One new case of yellow fever at Brunswick, Ga., wax officially reported today ? an infant of Mrs. Cox. There is no other suspicious case. The desertion of the town by the employing class, the closing of stores, factories, etc., works extreme hardship upon the poorer laboriug class. Families are left des titute; starvation, as terrible as fever, stares them in the face. Harrjfc is resting ^easily tonight, and is con scious. The following message has been sent to Washington, addressed to Senators Gordon and Colquitt, Speaker Crisp, Hon. H. G. Turner and all of the members of the Georgia delegation: "The situations here is distressing. We are shut out from the entire world. Starvation stares th^poor peo plelu the face. The refugees, ordinarily bread winners, with their ikmilies, have left the city without means. ^\bout 5,000 people left in the city are unable to procure supplies. There is immediate need of provisions and money. Time is an important element. We appeal, in behalf of a stricken people, for immediate aid, and con fidently rely upon the heart of the great American people and the govern ment to respond. (Signed) Thomas W. Lamb, mayor, C. P. Goodyear; Jacob E. Dart, Rev. Edward F. Cook, Rev. J. H. Thomp son, Rev. Father Hennesy, relief com mittee.1' Refugee* at Columbns. \ Columbus, Ga., August 23. ? The city is filled up with refugees from Brunswick, and a serious disagree ment has occurred between the board of health andlhe city council. Yes terday, immdiately on the announce ment that another case of fever had appeared at Brunswick, the b$ard of health Recommended that quarantine be established. At a meeting of coun cil, held later, the recommendation was ignored, and the council decided that there was no necessity fot quar antine. Tonight the board of health met, and four of the six members decided to tender theii; resignation at once. The four are leading physicians of the city and are naturally indignant at the manner in which tljeir recommen dation was treated. Tbey considered that it was prudential to quarantine^ < although they are not alarmists or ap prehensive. If fever should^ occur among the refugees here, a fearful responsibility will rest upon the council. The city health' officers say there may be no danger, but many citizens think the advice of the board ot health should have been adopted. One member is absent from the city; it is not known whether he wiH resign or not. . The other member, who is a city physician, will not resign, And he now constitutes the board of health all by himself. \ Federal Quarantine Established. Washington, August 23. ? At the request of the Stat^-health officer of Florida, the Marine, Hospital Service has stationed its inspectors at Way cross and Jessup, G^., to prevent pas sengers and baggage from entering from Florida, unless they have a cer tificate signed by the proper Marine Hospital officer at Brunswick. Advices received from Dr. Porter, at Tampa, state that there are no new developments of yellow fever in that vicinity. Dr. Wyman has established a bu reau of information in the Marine Hospital here, for the purpose of furn ishing any information regarding yel low fever to all health officers in the South. Boston Ouara* tines Brunswick. Boston, August 23. ? The local boaid of health has ordered that all vessels hailing from points south of the Deleware capes be required to show clean bills of health. This action | is brought about by the yellow fever I scare at Brunswick, Ga., from which port a number of vessels in the lumber trade run regularly to New Haven. Who Mcl>anrln Represents. In the silver debate in the House day before yesterday, Congressman McLaurin, of South Carolina, "rose to the occasion" and declared, "By the heavenly God, my people -vill not stand it any longer." The "it" that Congressman McLaurin's people are not going to stand is, of course, the issuance of sound money by the gov ernment. - He wants this government to cut loose from the rest of the com mercial world and establish a moneta ry system of its own and one that would be recognize^ nowhere except in the United States. \ Just who Congressman McLaurin's ^people" are in South Carolina it is nof clearly ap parent The idea is cyftent, however, that he represents Q6vernor Tillman Sampson Pope, ofcN^wberry, and "Jim" Norton, of Marion, more than he j dose the people of the Sixth district But whoever may be Congressman McLaurin's people, it would be inter esting to know what they propose to do about it when Congress passes a sound money bdlL ? Savannah News CLEMSON COLLEGE NOTES. Several Applications Filed tor the Next Sea son. ! Fort Hill, 8. C., Aug. 23. ? When Mr. Clemson died and donated his property to the Stale for an agricnl tu?vl college there were a great many people in South Carolina who placed themselves in the anomalous position of opposing its acceptance, but there were a great many who believed that Mr. Clemson was a true benefactor, and that the establishment of such a college would meet, the demand for that education which the ^hanged^on ditioo of the j people rendered neces sary, and that no compulsory laws would be required to fill this institu^ tion-jwith pupils. The judgement of this j portion of the people baa been fully vindicated, and to-day tbe college buildings are overflowing with students and a large number have filed their application for admission at the next term, in February. The secretary informed to day that seventy- five have al ready filed such application, and new natnes are coming in at the rate ot fouV-?s{ive a day. This ought and does prove the high estimate in which this college is held by the people. ?? It is to be hoped that there remains no opposition to Clemson CpUege. The time has come when it behooves every jnan in South Carolina to real ize the Tact^Jiat our future prosperity and destiny?>both depend Upon the education of thg white boyB of this State, and that a sound judgement should dictate the policy of a united effort on the part of all to sustain every educational institution in the State, and If possible furnish the facil ities for education to every youth in our borders. The large number of students already at Fort Hill and the large number still seeking admission have caused tbe management to consider seriously the capacity of the college for their accomodatien^Hky putting four boys in room the dormitory can ac comodate 600, but experience has proven that this will be crowding them too much. Beside* this jt seems to me impossible for this large num ber of boys to receive the technical training which is so much desired by them unless there are addition* to the mechanical and scientific departments. When Clemson first opened jit was thought that perhaps ^wo-thirde^>f the boys would prefer the, mechanical course, but such is not the case. This morning when the boys had all assembled for the usuaV opening exer cise, President Craighead made a very earnest and impressive talk in* 5 favor of agricultural pursuits. He outlined in a brief manner the differ ence between /the agricultural anth mechanical courses, and it was evident that he was in favor of the agricultural course. '""After his talk he asked all those who wished to pursue the agricultural ? course to rise, and at least half of them were in favor of the farm, and : here after each of these courses "will receive that fostering care and attention neces sary to make them succesful and to meet the expectations of their advo icates. Professor Clinton, the assistant pro fessor of agriculture, is a graduate ot the Michigan Agricultural College and is a scientific and practical far mer. He has just arrived at Clemson and will add great weight to the agri cultural department. It. is evident that he understand? his business and he has already left a very fine impres sion upon both students and faculty. He is a Northern mau and is expected to bring with him new and improved ideas t^this department. Profeslbr Tompkins has returned from the World's Fair where he has been for some weeks as one of the judges in the department of electricity. He has thrown all the strength and enthusiasm that he can muster into his department. In a few weeks it will be thoroughly organized. How ever, only about fifty students at most, and they by working in four seperate squads, two hours to each squad or eight hours-for the day, can work in the mechanical department. Mr. Lytton will soon begin work on the library shelves. This will be very nicely fitted up. One thousand dollars worth of books have already been purchased. All donations; to this library will be thankfully receiv ed. It is the purpose of the faculty to make this one of the best libraries in the country. A rare and valuable book has just l>een presented to the Clemson library ty Mr. A. H. Seabrook, the eldest son of the late Governor Seabrook. It is "The Memoirs of the Cotton Plant," and other essays which were published in 1844, and attracted the attention of many eminent men, especially Agassiz. Two other books, entitled "Historical Sketches of South Caro lina" and "College Addresses," have recently been presented by their author, Dr. William J. Rivers, now of Baltimore, Md., but a native of South Carolina. He was once pro fessor in the South Carolina College. It is hoped that other liberal and patriotic friends will follow the ex ample set by Mr. Seabrook and Dr. Rivers. , Visitors still come from the four quarters of the earth to see Fort Hill. Picnic crowds come from places as far distant as Spartanburg to see the many sights at Clemson. They just i.take possession an^fsome of -them act as if the college and everything elae around there belonged to them. If Clemson College was left to visitors it wouldn't be there two weeks. One serious need at Fort Hill is a good hotel. Most of the uniforms have cmmL \ and the boys all present a^nore in viting appearance than before. Their rough working clothes have given way to a beautiful suit of gray and caps now take the place of the som breros. They have improved in every particular, especially in their 1 drilling and studies. Prof. Oinkscales told me that as a rule those boys who do the best manu al labor stand highest in the clas room. The boys who Were injured by the fallen gangway are rapidly recover ing. ? Mr. Yoe, the young man who was so badly hurt, was out driving this morning ancKseems to be him&lf again. Pro! John Clinkscales is stepping unusually high now, as be has a little girl at his house. Prof. G. W. Welch is in the-tiame boat, only his is a boy. The stand pipe is almost completed. It will be eighty-five feet high and will supply all the water used' on the Mil. When asked about the schoof book question, President Craighead replied that he still had his plan in mind in regard to the settlement of that ques tion, but preferred not to talk on it un(il the board meets. He was aBked whether he had seen Mr. Thorpe1/ communication in the Register* and he replied with a smile that be bad. He did not seem to be anxious to talk and your correspondent did not press the matter. The "X" society has not been nam ed afi yet 'It seems that the members cannot decide on a good name and at present it is generally called "the other society." The following officers have been elected: President, R. H. Welch ot Newberry; vice-president, Frank E. Taylor of Anderoons, secretary, A. M. Chreitzberg, Jr., . of Charleston; treasurer, Charles M. Furman of Oconee. These officers are elected .lor five months while those of the CaK horn* are only for thrqe. The students are now at work on the buildings that are\going up at Fort HilL Under the command of a foreman, they are building a dairy and also one of the professors' houses. They work splendidly and the work that they do is as good, if hot* better, than) that done by a great many^frhe workmen who have been employecrat Fort;Hill. PORT ROYAL'S BOOM. The Permanent Improvement of the Port Inaugurated. Augusta, Ga^ Aug 22.? The Port Royal Company is to be congratulated on its efforts in opening up Augusta's port to foreign steamers. The unbo&tling of Port Royal opens up a port which for twenty yean has been closedjfor the benefitof Savannah. To-day, through the efforts of Col. Averill, receiver of the Port Royal and Augusta Railway, Col. D. P. Dy er and o there connected with the com pany, Augusta will have at her doors foreign steamers to carry Southern and Western products to European markets, and in return receive the products of foreign ports. It is a weU known fact that Port Royal is the finest port on the Atlan tic coast Vessels of the largest and most improved manufacture can enter with the utmost ease at any stage of the tide, and come up to/ffedocks of the Port Royal and Aiigusta Rail way. These docks have recently been rebuilt, and now since the first great move has been made with the hearty co-operation of our people, Port Rdy al can be made the g tea test of ports. Under Colonel Avejill's manage ment the Port Royal and Augusta Railway has been plated in good con dition. Large coal docks are under head way. Vessels instead of taking coal at Norfolk and- other points where they will have to go out of their course 300 or 400 miles, can get coal at Port Royal. The first ship will arrive at Port Royal about September 15, and it is learned that the cargo for it has already been billed. A large wholesale merchant, speak ing of the matter yesterday, stated that the new line of steamers to be put on at Port Royal would permit him to receive his foreign goods at 50 per cent less than what he is forced to pay now. ? Chronicle. South Carolina Not In It. Chicago, August 23. ? The Penn sylvania railroad lias secured the con sent of nearly all competing liues to the making of half fare rates on all trains from Pennsylvania on Septem ber 7th, the State day of Pennsylvania at the World's Fair. The making of half rates for Pennsylvania's day at the World's Fair will be used as a precedent in making like rates from everjjEastern State on the occasion of the day of its celebration at the fair. The Chicago and Ohio River lines will also make half rates for Ohio and Indiana days, and will join the Southern lines in making half rates for the State days for all South ern States. - Fatal Railroad Accident. Wilmington, Del., Aug. 23. ? The Norfolk express train Southbound ran into a freight train at Porter's on the Delaware Railroad, fourteen miles South of here, between 12 and 1 o'clock tffis morning. William Wheat ly, the fireman, was badly hurt and died to-day ^at the hospital here. Jame S. Grubb, the engineer, was se verely injure^-and William A. Carey, a brakemen of the freight train, had a foot crushed. The express train, locomotive and express car %era bad ly damaged and three cars were de molished. No passengers were hurt BRUNSWICK'S APPEAL FEDEREAL HEALTH AUTHORITIES TO THE RESCUE. The Marine Hospital Harran Kxpectad to Farnish Food and Medicine for the IV>or People Left in the City. Washington, August ^4.? The memberstif the Georgia delegation io Congress tuis morning received a tele graphic appeal from citizens' com mittee of Brunswick, asking for im mediate aid In the way of provisions and money. Congressman Turner, in whose dis trict Brunswick lies, had a long con ference with Burgeon General Wyman after receiving this j^iegram. The object of the conference was to ascer tain. if any help for the unfortunate citizens could be extended by the Marine Hospital Service. ? fl Surgeon General Wyman was very sympathetic, and promised to do all in his power Jo alleviate the miserable condition of the poor4*ople who are left in Brunswick. An effort will be made to furnish food atd medicine out of the epidemic fund at the disposal the bureau, if it can be thus utilized. This course of procedure is being taken finder consideration today, and it is ho}>ed that a favorable decision will be reached. 9 There is quite an extensive coast wise trade between Brunswick and the cities turther north on the Atlan tic coast and Chesapeake Bay, and the Marine Hospital Bureau is taking extra precautions to prevent a possible spread of yellow fever through mer chant vessels arriving from Bruns wick. Washington, Baltimore and Nor folk are dependent upon the Qape Charles quarantine station in the Chesapeake Bay for protection against the arrival in these ports of vessels with contagious disease. A strict in spection has been maintained all the summer at Cape Charles of every vessel arriving, and instructions were forwarded to the quarantine officers to lay to take extra precautions in the case of vessels from Brunswick or other Southern ports. Surgeon Gener al Wyman has no fear, however, of, any spread of the disease jo-Northern ports, as it has not assumed an epi demic form in the South. 1 Jacksonville's Generous Response. v Jacksonville, Fla., August 24.? In response to the appeal of Bruns wick, Ga., for aid, Mayor-Fletcher called a mass meeting of the citizens at the board of trade tonight. It was largely attended. Representatives of the Jacksonville Auxilliary Sanitary Association were present, and after enterchanging views between ftiem, the association agreed to send $1,000 in cash- to Brunswick tomorrow and $?00 worth of provisions. The meet ing also votecLto supplement this by volunUugMJontributioas of money .and supplies, if furthor aid should becomc necepsary. Jacksonville is deeply ap preciative of the aid extended to her in her affliction in 1888, and she is* probably among the first of the citi zens of the Union to respond to this cry for help from Brunswick. .THE SECOND VICTIM. ? Peter Harris Dies of Yellow Fever at .-N Brunswick. Savannah, Ga., August 24.? Peter Harris, the second victim of yellow fever at Brunswick, died at 12 o'clock last night and was burid at (> o'clock this morning. In. Ms case, death oc curred in the regulafooiw^aijity hours. The Cox child has been removed six miles in the country. Surgeon Hutton reports it doing well, with the chances in favor of its recovery. The board of health bulletin con gratulates the people that there are no new or suspicious cases iu the last forty-eight hours. Surgeon Guiteras publishes a card denying that he ever said fever was epidemic in Brunswick. He says it is epidemic neither there nor else where in this pountry. / Fire insurance companies have sus pended the "vacant" clause in policies on the house# of refugees. Relief camps have been established in Waynesville, where the homeless and hungry are being oared for. The tents for camps of relief and detention near Waycross are expected to arrive tomorrow. \ Mr. Sprluger Much SiirprUwf. Washington, Aug. 21. ? Wfjen asked for a statement as the reasons which impelled the Speaker^to depose him from the chairmanslvjp of the Ways aud Meaus Committee, Mr. Springer said: "To say that I am surprised at my deposition from the chairmanship of the Ways and Means Committee and appointment as chairman of the Com mittee on Banking and Currency is only a feeble expression of the truth. I have had no iutimation of the Speak er's intention to reappoint me or his intention to make me chairman of the other committees. I go from the work to which I have given the l>est study of my life to a committee the business of which I have given but little atten tion heretofore. I know nothing ot the motives of the Sj>eaker or of the object that he had in view. He has assured me that he decided to do that which he thought was best for the country and the Democratic party."

One of two objects general ly actuates them, either to make teach ing a life work, or to teach till some thing better turns i ep. To whichever class you belong it is your desire to succeed, and we can point you to no letter act to perform at this time than the attendance upon - the Teachers* Institute and the Teachers' Associa tion. One must know something of the theory and practice of teaching; tha{^ is, of imparting, knowledge suc cessfully. Adopt no man's method unless it appeals to you as adapted to your circumstances,, and meet your idea as to its fitness to the work ap plied. Accept no man's method simply because that man is a noted educator. While association with" teachers and exchange of individual opinions and methods will promote your success in teaching, yet we insist upon your subscribing to one or several good educational journals. ?
