February 7. t: 185 IF the county dispensers are short it is not surprising that the dispensaries have not yielded large profits. THE Irby committee propose a general primary. The "Ring" has been a hi tle frightened by the "Forty." TAE Register states that nearly all the dispensers are short in their ac counts, aid that it looks suspicious. Tbis i. a seri->us aff.tir and an expla nation should be forthwith coming from the con uiIy didpensers. The dis penmary system is open to the worse kind ot fraud, that is, eiportunity is given to do wholesale cheating. We do not know how far and to what extent the alleged shortage will go. In fact we do not care to say more at present than thac the matter should be thoroughly investigated. THE organization of priz3 clubs in the county has become an epidemic, and we hope that the epidemic will continue to spread and will take such a firm hold on tha victims that they shall feel the effects of it the rest of their lives. We have always thought that these clubs would growin popular favor as saon as people should have .become thoroughl) acquainted with the system under which they are ope rated. The example of East Wateree Prize Club has had a wholesome effect. It has given birth to club.s at White Oak, Albion, Wood wards and Long town. Many others will likely follow. '...--jrepoeeie o t ctnyin a few years. It is hoped that the mem bers will join with a determination to make the clubs a selccess. If properly managed, the neighborhood will be greatly benefited. WE have received a Circular letter -from J. K. Oglesby in reference to au Enclyclopedia Britannica, publish ed by a Chicago firm, the Werner Company. It seems that the book was being circulated through Texas and sold rapidly. The Dick Dowling Cam~p, composed of Confederate vete - rans,'discovered that the book grossly misrepresented the South, and accord iggly exposyl it. The Dick Dowling Camp requested the . co-operation of the Fulton County Camp, of Georgia, in preventin.its; sale to the Southern people. The Georgia veterans made made an investigation, and, after the report of the committee, passed reso lutions condemning the book in the severest terms. They say that not only does it do the South a great. in justice, but is~ not a fac simile copy of the Enclyclopedia Britannica as it purports to be. The camp has tried toe get the Atlanta papers to publish the resolution, but they declined to do it because they had agreed under a con tract not to publish anything detri- i mental to the book. The book does grossly misrepresent the south if it does state that the south ~ brought on the war merely to hold c slaves as property. The great princi- t pld which caused the south to resist the Federal army was to defend their constitutional rights. The south main- I . tains that the constitution is a comn-b pact, capable of being annulled at the ' will of a state whenever any of th3 -- --reserved rights of the State should be encroached upon. Ignering the con stitutional questions which brought in the war is a great injustice to the A South, or the people should not en courage the circulation of such false history to be repd by the children of the men who defended our rights. c Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot ha reach the diseased portion of the ear. p There is onty one way to cure deaf- re ness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an m inflamed condition of the mucous lin- b4 ing of the Eustachian Tube. When ct this tube is infiamed you have a rum at bling sound of imperfect hearing, and cc when it is entirely closed, Deafness is p the result, and unless the inflammation fri can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will cr be destroyed forever; nine cases out m of ten are cased by catarrh, which is p nothing but an inflamed condition of m the mucous surfaces. y We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by fo cat arrh) that cannot be'cured by Hall's se Catarrh Cure.

We light say too, why is it that most ildren dread even to think of a rammar lesson after they have been Ludying this branch for some time? 'he answer to the last might be, that hey had not been properly taught rom the first. I once heard a teacher say, "It is stonishing how many young men uter college who are painfully ignor nt of the principles of the English anguage." These are, seemingly, ery intelligent young men. If they on't know English comparatively rell, how can they be expected to make progress in the other languages? 'his teacher said he would sometimes ell one of his "intelligent" young men to parse a very simple Latin entence. The first question might be, 'What part-6f speech is a certain rord in the sentence?" His pupil rould look at him in astonishment ind say, " Why, it is a noun." Then y asking a great many questions and Jlmost exhausting his supply of pa ience he would finally ascertain the ,ender, number, person and case of hat noun. He said they looked at dm as if they thought he was prying uto some of their family secrets. If hey had been properly taught would his difficulty have presented itself? [ am inclined to think not. One of the best results of school aining is the ability to express nowledge in clear, correct language. We all accept as a guiding principle that in teaching language as an art, ynthesis should come before analysis, the facts before rules, hence. -omp. sition before technical grammar. The first step is to see that the child has knowledge to express. If there is no knowledge how can it be expressed? Bear in mind this, "Talking before writing." Never expect a child to ex press in writing what it cannot express Nrally. First teach the little ones to talk and then to express their : thoughts in writing. 1. Words and sentences should be taught first. This should be taught almost as early as the first reading lesson. - When a word is to be learned it should be written on the slate or board. After the children know these words wherever they see them, have them write very short sentences using the words. You will be surprised to see how much interest they will take in this work, provided the exercises are conducted in the proper manner. Be sure that the sentences always begin with capital letters and end with the p roper punctuation marks. Let this bo learned at first, and it will save much time and trouble afterward. 2. Copying maxims, proverbs and short poems. Write these on the board and have pupils copy them neatly en slate or paper. It is a good idea to have them copy a paragraph in the reading lesson every day. This familiarizes them with the use of capi tals and punctuation marks. 3 Writing sentences from dictation. with siirz , asy sentences, paying par tinar attention to spelling, and of course, punctuation and capitals. 4. Composing sentences expressing what they are able to see for them selves. Up tothis time the child has been required to copy; now he is required to construct. Show the pupils some object, such as a book or flower, and have them write sentences as, "The flower is pretty," "The flower is large," "The lower is fragrant." Then these may e combined into one sentence as, 'The flower is large, pr etty and fra trant. These sentences should be rery simple. See that, they under ;tand and can express them orally be ore any attempt is made at writing 5. The pupil is now prepared to ompose sentences without any assis ance. Seleot words from the reading essont and require them to be used in senteuces, in case the words are, 'threw," "hill" and "horse," they night write, "The boy threw the rock at the dog," "The tree is on a high. ill," "My horse can run fast." This s an excellent way of teaching the neaning of words. Next, two or nore words are given and pupils con truct sentences containing them. The rord, selected are, "wind," "blows," nd "hard." The child writes, "The C rind blows very hard." This simple ~ xercise may be made very pleasant to ,class of young children.r 6. Writing short stories that have sen learned so that they can be told rithout any hesitation. Tell a simplee tory; teach the children to repeat it, ,nd'then have them write it. Be sure at the story is interesting and not o long as to be tiresome. We all :now that a story is the delight of all hildren, therefore, they will enjoy t is exercise very much.d This is only for primary work. In nother paper I will give my method f teaching more advanced pupila. C have not had very much experience, ut think something on this order mch better than beginning the stsudy f Grammas before the child has any le what is required of it. CLTDE.CLAT20N. p W. P.

It will be a surprise to the people of e State to learn that a great many of ah dispensers are short in their ac unts. The amounts of the deficits .ry, but in some cases it as much as ,300. It is a serious condition of 'fairs and the State Board of Control to ake energeticm5easres_. to re The cumbersome system of book eping is in part responsible for ese shortages but even when that is nsidered the number of dispensers hind in their accounts is suspicious.

After the reorganization is sopleted every dispenser must get a w bond. The auditor of each ~unty will have to certify that the reties are worth twice the amount the bond and it will then have to eapproved by the county boards. hen the State board will have to ap rve it, after which the dispenser ay begin business.
