I Tub crops of the year UKP2 will t soot, all be harvested. Taking the 1 | county as a whole, it has been a sea son of plenty, and the farmers are in good condition to begin their <. plans for the crops of another year. I Many people were interested in the proceedings of the court the first days of the week and the court house t could not hold them. The new court house was defeated in the last pri- . inary. but it is a necessity which will assert itself at every term of our court. The advocates of child laborL laws are more and more disposed to exaggerate the conditions which ex- 1 ist in the cotton factories. V'hat they purpose belongs more to the sentimental than to the practical ? i 1.1. i . i _ ., i?uw rcasuuuuie, uuu ini\v are mere ? fore easily led into drawing upon the imagination and feelings for their arguments. That they are | wrong in many of the asset tions | they make in regard to the condition of factory children, is plain to ( any one of unprejudiced observation. i Horry County Teachers' Asso- t ciation, i The Horry County Teachers' Association met in Burroughs school j house on Oct. 1. The attendance t was small but those present mani- | fested a keen interest, which is very commendable Mrs. Bradt was to have given a cJ lesson in grammar but it was posponed till next meeting. The time was taken up in discussing methods for helping the teachers of the county, through the association. t It wasuuanimouslvjagreed to have c regular recitations at the monthly meetings, and for the present to , study only two subjects,?English Grammar and School Management. Mrs. Bradi will teach grammar and ( B. J Wells, Superintendent of Bur- ( roughs School .will teach School : Management. : The teachers of the county should r not fail to avail themselves of the t opportunity offered by the Associa- ; tion of improving themselves. If ^ thoy will come and work together , they may reap untold benefit. In looking over the school reports ( of the different counties, we are , struck by the fact that the counties ( which have the best schools have s live teachers' associations. Shall Horry lag behind? Or shall she . forge to the front? The teachers of ' the county must answer. Teaching is now regarded as ; profession, and the teachers shouh strive to exalt their profession. B\ showing a professional spirit they will command a respect and conli dence that will never In- secured oth^ erwise. , Then let every teacher in the j coun?y he present 14 the meeting , of the association on the first Saturday in November, and thus show . that the teachers of Horry are de- \ termined to keep abreast of the j times.

[Continued.] I must not interrupt tlie train of toy recollections of our olden time ministers without mentioning the mime of John A. Miniek, one of the best men 1 think I ever knew Ho was Ioveil by nil. In 183G he was assigned to the Waccaraaw Mission to preach to the negroes and served on this Mission for some yeafs. I can remember hearing one of the old negroes say; 4 We lub Mr. Miniek. we luo to heali 'iin preach fo* he don preach dis high influence. We etui all onderstan' him." He was changed from this Mission to tIn? Con vav Circuit and it was then that tho whites came to know him bettor When you heard him, you seemed to feel satisfied with jourself He always elevated, never depressed. How many times have 1 listened to him and wished 1 could he as good a matt as 1 thought ho was. I have long ago given UP this. You know the talents were distribu led 5. d and 1.1 ought *o be satislied Uncle Mi nick seemed to think there was more good than bad among u^, aud was one who preached about the Ninety aud Nine being saved and only one tut ray. Diligently lie was looking after thot one and ho would do it in the gentlest and kindest way. We hud those little blue-backed Catechisms in those days and where was the boy who could not answer all the questions in them? I think 1 could "Who made you? What did lie make you for? Who made the world and everything in it in six days?" IIow many knew more then than now! Hoys had to walk pretty straight when tho ministers were around. I had to bo led around tho kitchen to the little switch tree more than once for some of my missdecds when Brother "So andSo" would bo at our home. Uncle Minio was always holding up the golden sceptre and with much unc tiou, he would sing some of the old song's that we all liked to hear: God our help in ages past, Our hope tor years to come; Our shelter from the stormy blast And our perpetual home. Down on Murrells Inlet was the lirst parsonage ever built in all that section of country. I thiuk it was built principally through the liberality and generosity of James Bel in another one of our old ministers. As 1 remember him he did not belong to the Conference, but was a kind of Local itinerant or "preach whorel-please-man," a thoroughly good man but very tedious and always holding up before us; "the pesli lence that walketh by day and the arrow that flyetli by night." He was all for the church and gave everything he had to it. He was well to do for those times, 1 think a de scondant from the old Indigo planters. The Uelin fund must have been well invested for the benefit of the church, as it has stood the ravages of war, earthquake and tidal waves and as I think is still paying a good dividend, not that 1 know so much about it. How modorate he was in everything, and how careful in answering Questions! When Dr. McGill met him one day and asked him what his besotting sir was, he had a meek face when he said lie thought it was pride. 1 like yot to go down on Cowford and hear them sing some of those old songs we used to sing. It carries me back to my boy hood's innocence. None of your Moody and Sankey about them. Will we still continue to advance in religion, culturo and refinement as we have for the hist century, or will we. as some think, go back to that state above which it has taken man so long to arise? While life lasts let our prajor be: ' 'Lord teach us the way in which we should walk and the things that we should do that we may inherit eternal life. T ? Tn. j A .11 r*r> n\Ai ?
