The Medium is keeping "cool" ngain. This time its coolness lnm taken sncli shape and form that it is heginnins; to be dangerous. The Medium "coolly" assumes in its article of June 2oih, on cruelty to Convicts, that Homebody is trying to put the people in the neighborhood of the convict camp in a wrong light before the Slate. Now that is cool assumption, or else the Medium coolly ignores the facts, and coolly puts itself in the attitude of champion of* the people Against whom notliing has I icon said, and against whom nothing can be said. Nobody has intimated that the enlightened, intelligent and humane people of that section countenanced the' conduct of Jackssn. or had any knowledge of it. On the contrary it was the good eitixcps .of that neighborhood who set on foot*the inquiries which resulted in the exposure of Jackson's cruelty. If o\n* people and papers hail been as *'cool" as the Medium, the conduct of this man would never have been known, nor any efforts made to bring him to punishment. As for ourselves the Messknokk said at the outset of this matter that it had no idea that the people of the neighborhood know anything about the ill trjatniont complained of. Another piccc of tho Medium's "coolness" is to intimate the fear that the convict force may bo withdrawn from tho lload. Wh}', neighbor, everybody lias known ever .since the investigation by tho Superintendent and Physician of the Penitentiary that there was no such intention. The Mkssenoek so stated the next week. However, the Medium was always . fond of showing its valor by setting up men of straw to knock down. But read what the Medium says : ''As usual we have kept cool on the alleged cruelty to convicts 011 the R. V. 11. It. Sometimes tho men of that section get a wrong twist in political matters, but wo have always felt satisfied that thoy would never be guilty of any DUV.U uiiiMiiiilliIlJ' US UUS Uilt'gt'U or pLM"irfit it in others. * * * * * * "So it appears there has cn'y been one case of brutal treatment. It is not fair to hold the community lexponsilde for this. The people along the line have spont too much money in the enterprise for it to be delayed or defeitod by the withdrawal of the convict force, because of unproved charges of cruelty. We have no jealousy of the road and henrtily desire its completion. The along thG line shall always be kept people rijrht before the Stute as lung as the Medium has power to do so." Now truly such coolness is alarming. Perhaps this "coolness" accounts for the ice aud snow in Virginia last week. Positively we are afraid if our friend and neighbor continues to keep so ii. In I-- * 11 i--- * . % - - uuui - ne win iurn 10 a tjlock ot ice. Doubtless his salvation lies in the fact that he has mistaken another quality Potcoolness. When we were hoys and hated to do our work it was not called .'/keeping cool." You don't call all the loafers around town "cool niggers." Really we think the Medium. has made a wrong diagnosis of the disease with which it is afllicted. TO THIS TEACUKllS. We publish in another column, acirculnr letter, from the Superintendent of Education, setting forth the advantages to be derived from attendance upon Coynty Institutes. We feel sure that the tonsil nrs nf AliSnrillo ? # v. ..UVVIIIIU VJVMIIHJ' iljlpreciate those, and almost fcnr that it will ho considered presumption, on our part, to futher impress upon them the necessity of attending. The teacher's calling, though, is suc'u a high one, its responsibilities so great, that, we feel we cannot do too much to. urge upon them the necessity of availing themselves of every opportunity offered for improvement in the line of their profession. Let the teachers of Abbeville County be true to their trusts, and show that they appreciate the responsibilities of their high calling, by manifesting their interest jn this Institute. The people of Abbeville will give you a warm vv ,?1coine, and do everything in their power to make you enjoy the stay here during the Instituto. COLLliGK OP LANGUAGES. Our friend and former Professor of modern languages at the C. M. I., Capt. Colton Lynes, now Superintendent of the Yorkville military school, has established at Greenville, S. (J., a college for touching French and German, dftring the summer, to teachers and others. Professor Lynes is an accomplished scholar, and thoroughly familiar with ph- history and sciencc of tho languages he teaches. Ho uses the "natural method" which ho was first to introduce into the South. Wo h<?arlily command him as worthy of all corfldenco and respect. * ? EDITORIAL. NOTES. The opponents of the University have narrowed the objection to that institution down to the free tuition. IfI this be all,, let the trustees adopt a sya'em of fees. We havo not examined the law on the subject?but a disinterested gentleman who has done so, tells us that be thinks tho law does require tuition 'to be charged. At any rate, the + collage can afford to do it, and it had bettor be done, Let ua have an end of turmoil and bickering on tho subjoct of V education. We want to work together fo?

'j The leading objects of the County Teacher's In/tilute, aulhori/.ed by sec- ' tion H)i>2 of the School Law, are : I, 1.?To acquaint teachers with the < best methods of instruction, and to qualify them to put these methods into successful practice. 2.?To bring teachers, school officers and people together so as to awaken a ^ common sympathy and popularize edu cation. In add'.tion to these there ar<> many incidental heiiefils derivable from the proper conduct of these Institutes. Of | the minor and subordinate objects may j be mentioned the following : 1?To gain inspiration in teaching;. j 2.?T*? gain professional information j 3.?To learn to avoid "ruts." 4.?To compare ourselves profession- ^ ally with our associate teachers. t 5.?".'o all'ord an opportunity for j younjr teachers to express their thoughts in public. ' G.?To cultivate professional pride, j which is an essential eh incut of suecess in any calling in life. ( Among the means for the attainment ( of these objects may be mentioned lec- t lures, questions and answers, diagrams , and notes, topical reviews of text-book matter, model class exercises for practical illustrations, general discussions : c in a word, work?practical, enthusiastic work. j The instruction should be specially adopted to the circumstances and needs ot' country touchers. The methods of teaching in the better class of graded j schools will be generally discarded by ( country teachers as impracticable in , ungraded schools. "What is needed is to adopt improved methods to tho coun try school?to show how they may bo , used. It is not enough to tell country teachers that the method presented must j be modified to suit their circumstances. The making of those modifications re- j quire a degree of invention, experience ( and skill, which teachers, as a class, do not possess. It is at this point that they i specially need the assistance of an experienceed guide. Institute instruction | should be largely given from the stand- j point of the country teacher. ( Tho evenings may bo properly devoted to such exercises as will interest , and instruct the community. Scientific and literary lectures may have a place, ' and the exercises may he varied with ] music, readings, discussion of cducati- , onal topics ifcc. Tho success of the Institutes will largel}- depend upon the hearty co-op- , oration of the school ollicers of the count}-, the lively interest and sympa- , thy of the community, and, above all, upon the intelligence, earnestness and energetic ellbrts of the County School Comn i i.sioners. AsnintY Cow.vui), State Superintendent of Education. Election of Delegates. Pursuant to a call, which had been extended the State Agricultural Society, a meeting of our citizens was called in the Court House at 12 in. on Saleday. '>n motion of Sir. A. II. Aiken, Mr. W. II. l'arker was called to the chair, and Win. X. Craydou was elected Secretary. Capt. J. W. Perrin moved that three delegates be clected to represent this Couiity at the approaching annual meeting of the Suite Agricultural Society, which is to meet at liennottsville. The motion having been put and carried. the following gentlemen were put in nomination : A. M. Aiken, W. A. Moore. H. W. 11 addon, John II. Morrow, J. II. Latimer and Robert Pratt. The meeting then preceded to ballot for three delegates, and Messrs. A. M. Aiken, J. 11. Latimer and 15. W. Haddon having received the largest number of votes, were declared elected. Messrs. W. A. Moore. <J. II. Mrtrrnw mill PuKni'i Piatt Wore elected alternates. On motion of 101 lis G. Grnydon, the delegates were instructed to invito the Society tn hold its next meeting at this place. Heretofore there has been very little interest manifested in tliis County in the meetings of this society, and it is hoped that if the society can he induced to moot at this place, it will get up more interest and stimulate our farmers to renewed eft'orts. These meetings are very important to the fanning interests of the State, and it is hoped that every County in the State will be represented at liennottsville.
