THE WEEKLY LEDGER, PUBLISHED KVKKY FRIDAY BY The Limettene Printing and Publishing Co. Incorporated. $l.SO per Year. R. O. SAMS, . - Editor. FRIDAY, MAY 11, 1894. CHARLESTON. Charleston is stirring herself. It is time. The old conservative “city by the sea” cannot rest on her laurels any more than can the man or woman who has done one noble deed. Life means activity persever ing and continued, and of all South ern cities, Charleston should have learned the lesson. Charleston has done well, but she must keep on do ing well. Her increasing p^perity put her to sleep. But she is now wak ing up, and we are glad of it. It is true that Norfolk has stepped in and curtailed her export trade; Savannah has not been idle during these years, as her increased growth, business enterprise and increasing facilities bear testimony; Brunswick has fallen into line, and is keep ing step to the music of commercial progress. But all of these, her netgh- bors, did not rouse her by the din of traffic. How is it that all at once there is a cry for the erection of grain eleva tors, why the announcement that there is 23 feet of water on the Char leston bar, and that the jetties will soon increase the depth ; why has the cost of pilotage been examineu into, and, when found excessive, steps taken to reduce the charges; why are her business men arousing them selves, and her newspapers urging facilities to correspond with the de mands of the West for the export of her surplus product? Why? Has Tort Royal’s magnificent har bor had anything to do with it? Has the thirty feet of water that nature has given her at her entrance way in any wise stimulated the sleeping city? Perhaps not, for these have been as they always were. But we have had ocular demonstration that the larg est ships afloat enter with ease this doorway to the Atlantic. This fact is not to be overlooked, and Charles ton recognizes that unless she can deepen her water way, erect grain elevators, and otherwise increase her facilities, she will lose forever the great prize. Rapid transit; facilities for rapid loading and unloading; safe and easy ingress and egress for ships of heavy burden, are now a necessity. Perhaps Charleston may be equal to the emergency. PROTECTING SHADE TREES. Our Town Council has very wisely passed an ordinance protective of our shade trees. Had this been done dur ing the early life of our town we would, like those who live on Freder ick street, be rejoicing in well shaded streets and front yards and lawns. Often have trees been planted with great care and at much expense by our citizens in front of their residences when some vandal hand with ready knife has cut them to the ground, with muscular arm broken in two their slender bodies, or even pulled them up by the roots. But it is often the careless hand of an unthinking mind that nips the young tree-life In the bud by breaking off the top or wrenching a limb that weakens the tree or keeps it a dwarf. To take a tree from the forest and plant it where you wish it to grow, either as an ornament to your home or os a protection to that home, or as furnishing shade to the children that grow up around your knees, and after you have watered and trimmed and directed its growth, to have your hopes destroyed by one who has no music in his soul is to feel the bitter pangs of disappointment. We have shade trees that we raised from the seed and they are growing just where we want them. , We value them more than if we had paid for them in dollars and cents, and have watched over them with increasingly tender care, but one half of them have been ruined by the care less hand or the vicious mind. To see them scarred and bleeding arouses a kindred feeling to that which rises when your own flesh and blood has been imposed upon. We know not why our former City Fathers in decorating our park set out trees that, like church spires, jxilnt heavenward,unless it wastoput their tops beyond the reach of evil doers and thus preserve their valua ble lives. If so, the idea was a novel one, but the trees are standing and still pointing heavenward, living wit nesses of their foresight. We are glad of the ordinance, and hope that it may be the means of en couraging everyone to plant shade t roes. COXEY AND BROWN. The General and his lieutenant are Lill in “durance vile.” To an outsider, and especially to a fmputInzer, it might look like a liiiht offence for which they were ar- .•sted in Washington. Coxey mas andled firmly b^^arefully, while wilier ttuf, fered from the baton in the hands of the police. Perhaps ordinarily these offenders might have been warned to keep off of the grass and not to injure the shrubbery. But this was an extra ordinary occasion. The movement of the Commonweal army was heralded with sound of trumpet, and many bold assertions were made, even by its leader, as to what he would do when he reached the Capitol. The Commissioners of the District of Columbia warned the “army” against coming to Washington. It behooved the authorities to be on the alert and to suppress by its strong arm the first signs of insubor dination, or violation of law. To “nip in the bud” this move ment of unrest that pervades our entire country, was not only wise, it was a necesssity. Had Coxey and his commonwealers been permitted to do as they pleased, soon this first wave would be followed by another, and still another until a tidal wave would sweep away the foundations of government and the country be in the hands of a mob. It is bad enough as it is. Men without employment, and not wishing any, are congregated here and there in large numbers, and by their very presence are a menace to soci ety. The communities through which they pass are glad to get rid of them by contributing to their support. If violators of law, whether in Califor nia or Michigan or South Carolina, let the strong arm of the law be called forth to maintain the law’s supremacy. Would that we could make good citizens, law loving, law abiding, out of these annual “tramps.” There are thousands of acres that are lying idle, and that would bring them a good liv ing. But everyone mistrusts a tramp. MILITARY COMPANIES. Men all over the State are organiz ing themselves into companies, and they are being commissioned. There are not arms enough in the State to supply the demand that has suddenly risen. Were this a spontaneous move ment of the people, inspired by a de sire to preserve order by their pres ence. or to serve their State in case of emergency, it were well and good. Every good citizen must believe in order, and he ought to work to that end. One of the best ways to do this is to organize, be provided with the best weapons, and know how to use them with the best effect. There is something peculiar about this movement. It is confined almost entirely to the country. This ought not to be. The cities and towns need military com panies even more than do the coun try districts. They are centres of in fluence, centres that are more readily reached, and centres that must bear the brunt of any disturbance that might arise. We ought to have two military companies in Gaffney. Their pres ence would be a standing warning to evil doers, and great good would be done our young men in the severe dis cipline that brings order out of confu sion, and would enable them to act as a unit, and therefore with greatest effect. Two companies would keep alive the spirit of emulation. We would like to see these companies organized in our midst. TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. Mr. J. T. Crawley gives some good reasons why the teachers of Spartan burg county should have a county Normal Institute this summer. We copy the piece from the Spartan and commend its perrusal by all. .School Commissioner B. B. Chap man is out in a card that he ad dresses to teachers. Mr. Chapman wishes an expression from the teach ers. The school will continue three weeks. But read Mr. Chapman’s card. DR. R.H. GRIFFITH. We regret to learn of the severe illness of Dr. R. H. Griffith, now of Yorkville, and hope that he may be restored to health and family, and friends and work. Few men have so grown in our af fections as has Dr. Griffith. We feel it an honor to he numbered among his friends. He is a noble and good man—good in every relation of life. s. s. State ok Ohio, City ok Toledo, t Lucus County. \ Frank .1.

So has t he Supreme Court of South Carolina decided. This has not come about in the way that the friends of prohibition desired. When two years ago they east their votes overwhelmingly in favor of prohibi tion, it was natural for them to ex pect that the legislature would heed the voice of the people. But the dis pensary law was enacted. While, in the main, it was much to be preferred to open bar rooms, its pro , issions were maintained in such a way as to give offense to a large part of our people. It was soon seen that this would not do unless a change were made in the act. What a relief then when the highest court of the State de cides it unconstitutional! And this last decision, that there is no authority in the State to grant a license to sell spirituous liquors, puts at rest the mooted question as to whether we have prohibition or open bar rooms. But it does not put at rest t lie ques tion whether liquors will be sold or not. Tliis we know will be done in spite of, and in violation of law. Still, as true, law abiding citizens we should not only not violate law, but oppose any violation of it. We are under the law and protected by it. No sooner do we break it in one particular tnan we feel free to do so in others, and license reigns and ruins, where law ought to reign and protect. j ■ ii. ■ i A PROTRACTED MEETING. A protracted meeting was begun in the Baptist church last Sunday. Rev. B. P. Robertson preached morn ing and evening to large congrega tions. His sermons were introductory. Rev. H. C. Buckholz, of Chester, arrived on Monday, and at once by his pleasing manners and his deep earnestness secured the respect and love of all who heard him. Mr. Buckholz presents the truth with great simplicity but with power. He has not only learned how to get the attention of his auditors, but what is more, he knows how to keep it. Already great interest is shown through the forcible presentation of the Word. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is tuken inter nally and acts directly on the blood ami miwous services of the system.

Editor Carolina Skartan: In the last number of your paper you ask the question as to whether the county Normal Institute will be held in Spar tanburg this summer, and invite an expression of opinion as to the desir ability of holding such an Institute. I have recently learned that sufficient funds for conducting this Institute could very likely be secured, and that an effort to secure them would cer tainly bo made should the teachers of the county desire it. It is a question then for the teach ers to decide, and it is hoped that a full expression of opinion will be called forth. The school board desire to do every thing in their power to .assist the teachers in improving educational methods, but naturally are not will ing to spend money whore it will do no good. Education here, as every where else, is expensive, and money for educational purposes, as everyone knows, is usually scarce, so that is the wise plan to spend it where the most good will be done. Then the quest ion is, if an Institute should beheld would it be appreciated and would it be attended? As an aid to the proper apprecia tion of the work of teachers’ meet ings, I beg to insert the following paragraph taken from the last issue of the Spartan : “President Eliot of Harvard, says that there is scarcely a single subject taught nowadays in the same way it was taught thirty years ago, and that even law, the most conservative of studies, is now treated in an entirely different method from that which prevailed in former years. That method, he adds, is being adopted all over the country and is making its way into the English Universities. Then, too, the teaching of the scien ces and languages has been greatly- changed. Evidently the college gnwl- uate of twenty-five years’ standing must soon consider himself ai- a back number.” President Eliot is one of the best informed on educational methods ami his opinion is worthy of belief. Al though he devotes himself in a great measure to college and university education, yet he 1ms done a great deal in recent years in attempting a perfect system of common and high school education, and what he says above applies pre-eminently to com mon school methods. Of recent years it has come to be realized that there is a philosophy of education, and he that best understands this philosophy and theory of teaching will be the most successful as a teacher. If this were not so, why- have there been founded so many so- called “Normal Colleges” where teachers are taught and shown the best methods of teaching? Almost every State supports a normal college, and most of the large colleges and universities have a teacher’s course specially adapted to the need* of teachers. The country teacher of twenty-five years ago would find himself lost in a 4io<icrn graded school, so different art; the methods used from those in vogue in his day. Indeed, I might say that the methods of teaching have in re cent years undergone a complete rev olution. How necessary is it then for teachers to come together and compare methods, learning from each other, those which have failed and those which have succeeded. If the graduate of twenty-five years’ stand ing must soon consider himself as a back number, how must the teacher who never attends normal Institutes, nor teachers’ meetings, censider him self? This is a matter that cannot be neglected. The responsibilities on the shoulders of the school teacher are too great to allow him to neglect any opportunity to increase his know ledge and improve his methods \ot teaching. Education is too impor tant to the material prosperity and mental development of our people to commit it into the keeping of men and women poorly and improperly prepawd for the trust. All cannot attend normal colleges, but yet a county Institute brings opportunity to all to give a part of that which would be gainet. at the colleges. These county Institutes, as is well known, are held not only in [almost all the counties-of this State but in other States where the advantages of educa tion are appreciated. Spartanburg county is, in material prosperity, in the foremost rank. With her railroads and cotton mills and other evidences of prosperity she bids fair to take the front rank. We cannot, therefore, allow her educational interests to suffer, for it is only through her mental training that she shall ever realize her resour ces and reach the full measure of suc cess. Let us by all means have a teacher's Institute. Let the teachers come to gether. exchange views and improve their capacity for imparting instruc tion for it is only by meetings of this kind that we shall keep pace with the progress in education and educational methods.

The general tenor of the reports for the past week indicates an im provement in planted crops and nat ural vegetation. Tliis is nut univer sally true for the State, as the show ers from which the greatest benefit was derived, were very light or entirely missing in many sections of the State, even where contiguous townships or farms were drenched with rain. There were, however, but few places that had no ruin either during the fore or after part of the week, yet in most places it was too little to penetrate to the r«K>ts of plants and to relieve the drought. Even where the rain was most copi ous more is stilf needed to give the growing crops a good stand, or to help small grain which will soon be in the “milk” and beyond help. The extreme western and northern tire of counties report the greatest inprove- ment, from Oconee to Chesterfield, where showers were quite general. The only adverse factors were hail storms which along narrow paths did some damage to young plants and tender vegetation, and cut and bud worms that damaged corn and gar dens to some extent. There was very little cloudiness during the week, and no day but that there was some sunshine. With the exception of a few tornadie winds ac companying thunder-storms that did a little local damage in the northwes tern part of the State, no damage is reported from that source. The first two days of the week were about normal but after Wednesday the heal was steadily above the normal, aver aging 3 degrees a day on the coast to six and seven in the central and west ern portions. Warm nights caused a very decided improvement in the color of vegetation. In Charleston. Berkeley.and the greater part of Col leton counties, there was very little rain, and the drought has parched vegetation in general; the only two crops that appear to be doing well are rice and »elons, the former promises very well while the latter only fairly. Melons in the northern part of the State are a failure in many places. Early planted cotton is not mak ing a good stand although from some sections the reports indicate an aver age stand: that of later planting promises better, but is not all up yet being retarded by the surface crust and luck of moisture. In Charleston county this crop can hardly be any thing but a failure. Chopping out and working has begun in places. Corn has improved in color and stand, especially on bottom lands, upland corn as a rule has not shown us marked an improvement. Worms are doing much damage. Oats have not improved except for very lute sown fields which took on a better color and made rapid growth. Fall sown outs nearly, if not completely, a failure. Wheat is looking much better and there is a prospect of a fair yield although it will not be a full crop. Where tobacco is cultivated the reports indicate that the plant is about ten day, in advance of its season and doing well. Potattoes are growing rapidly wliere the vines have not been injured by bugs, and can bo said to be doing well. Only a few reports mention fruits and those are not encouraging. The acreage of cotton, corn and other grains has been slightly increased in Anderson county, but it is thought the total of all crops will approximate the aver age of other years. Showers on Mon day night will prove highly bene ficial. J. W. Bauer. Director, S. (,’. S. W. S. Columbia, 8. C., May 8tli. 1891. Four Big Successes.

The Phrenological Journal relates this parable: Then shall the Kingdom of .Satan be likened unto a grain of tAbacco seed, which, though exceeding small, being cast into the ground, grew and became a great weed, and spread its leaves rank and broad, so that huge and vile worms found habitation thereon. And it came to pass that the sons of men looked upon this weed, and, the eyes of their under standing being darkened, thought it beautiful to look upon, and much to be desired to make youths of tender years look big and manly. And moreover it came to pass that those who chewed thereon became weak and sick, and could not deliver themselves free from the desire of having hits of it continually in their mouths, which aforetime had been clean and ruddy, but now became foul and black; and, besides, the chewers were seized with a violent and constant spitting of unclean humors, and they did spit in all places, even in ladies’ parlors and the courts of the Lord of Hosts. And the good and the true,and all who led pure lives were grievously plagued thereby. And it came to pass that men were dissatisfied with merely chewing the strange weed, and sought out other and cunning devices for us ing it. Some, indeed, did make it into a fine powder and filled their nostrils therewith, and they were taken suddenly with fits and did sneeze with great and mighty sneezes, insomuch that their eyes were filled with tears and their faces with wrink les. And yet others cunningly made the leaves into rolls and did set fire to one end and suck vehemently at the other, and did look very grave and calf-like, and the smoke of their burn ing and sucking ascended forever and forever. And there were men whose wisdom being that of the fox. behold ing the multitude which did chew and snuff and smoke, said among themselves: “Come, let us plant and water and increase the production* of this weed whose name is tobacco, for therein is a mighty and increasing business.” And they did so and the merchantmen waxed rich in the com merce thereof. And it came to pass that even the servants of the Most High became bond servants to the weed and defiled themselves therewith; even the poor, who said they could not buy shoes and hooks for their wives and little ones, spent their substance therefor. And the anger of the Lord was greatly kindled by such wickedness, and He said: “Wherefore this waste? And why t these little ones lack bread and Mines and books? Turn now your fields into corn and wheat, and put the evil thing far from you, and he separate and defile not yourselves any more, and I will bless you and cause my face to shine upon you.” But with one accord they raised their voices and exclaimed: “We cannot cease from chewing, snuffing and puffing; we are slaves.” Introduce the Chil Iren. It is common oversight in too many households not to introduce the chil dren to visitors. Guests are formally presented to the adult ineinlKws of the family, but the younger boys and girls are either ignored altogether or else introduced in a general way without giving their individual names. This course is almost certain to result in awkwardness and constraint on their part, when grown. There is a difference between putting children forward unduly and giving them their just meed of recognition. And pray, take pains, in making introductions, to speak the names distinctly, and, above all things else,do not omit their mention. How many of us have been annoyed to have a hostess greet an intimate friend, to whom we were entire strangers, with some such sal utation ns, “() Henry, so*pleased to have you meet Miss Blank,” leaving us to discover ids surname as l»est we may. It is not a bad plan for the family to rehearse by themselves some of these little social formalities. —Uongregat ionnlist. Immigrants.

We have had rain more or less throughout this county during Sat urday and Monday last. In most places, though, it did not amount to a good season, as the ground was very dry.

These resolutions provoked an ani mated discussion among the mem bers of the Re#Ym party, many of whom endorsed them in strong terms, while others denoum ed them in lan guage more forcible than elegant. Findly they were laid on the table with an understanding that their substance would form material for the coming compaign. In substance they were endorsed by the convention but the conservative'members held that to denounce them would have a revolu tionary tendency, und we were by no means prepared fora revolution.

April 28. s The County Board of Examiners arc anxious to offer to our teachers tiie advantages of a Summer School during the coming vacation. It is propsed, not to provide for an ordinary Institute of a few days, but, in addition to lectures upon met nods, that special attention be paid to regu lar instruction in the branches of which the teachers desire a more thorough knowledge. The School will continue for at least tree weeks —likely June II to 29. The only cost of attendance will be board, which, it is hoped, can be securedjat reduced rates.
