The ablest lawyers of the city were engaged to assist the State and defend the priso ners. The trial ended on Friday,The jury acquitting six and failing to agree as to three defendants. It is said that overwhelming evidence of conclusive guilt wo* presented, but that justice was defeated through the corrupnesa of bribed jurors. Public indignation sprang at once to full fever heat. A ma** meeting was called for Saturday. Lawyers, merchant* and business men of .Jhe highest character closed their offices apd stores and controlled it* ac tion.

Their performances on the piano, the harp, the violin, the violin- cello, guitar, mandolin, banjo, and nu- meroiiM other instrument* were mar vellous, and they showed a range of musical talent that ha* hardly ever been excelled on the stage in this city. Among the most interesting feature* of the performance were the selections on the cornet and .on the harp.

The auditors apprecia ted their generosity, and evinced their appreciation by repeated outbursts of genuine enthusiasm. „ The Japanese booths erected in the annex to tbe Opeia House were also well patronized.

An educational mass meeting was held in the M. E. Church on Friday night presided over by Rev. Mr. Htoke*. Although tbfc expected *peakers were not present, yet an interesting and pro fitable meeting was held. Impromptu speeches were made by Rev. II. 3. Hart- zog, Prof. K. Y. Ferry and Frof. R. H. Willi*. A good number of the citizens of Bamberg were present and manifest ed by their presence an interest in edu cation and the Association. On Saturday at 11 a. m. the regular meeting of the Association was held at the Graded School • building. More teachers werepresent than at any pre vious meeting. This is an encouraging slate of affairs and shows that the Asso ciation is making progress^ The regular program was carried out.

If not more so, for a teacher W> prepare himself for hi* works as lor a lawyer, or a doctor, or any other professional man to prepare for his pro- ieasion. In tbe next place a teacher should avail himself* the means and methods of preparation, viz : nonnat schools, institutes, associations, reading of educational papers and books. This is au instructive and important subject and should engage the attention of every teacher. “The word Method In teaching read ing” was presented in an interesting manner by Miss Clara L. Johnston, of Barnwell. Prof. P. R. Rowell, of Grahams, dis cussed tbe management of the school programs of recitations He presented a new idea In the way of order of reci tations and one which teachers would do well to consider.
