Patton would like v'ery much to make his home in .Winnsboro, if he culd rent a suitable dwelling. Dr. Patton would be a valuable addition to our comiunity, and we hope that a dwelling..may be found for him. He is a rare scholar, and his presence .would improve our literary atmos phere, and his being in our town is so S desirable' that we hope our citizens * will make some effort to procure a house for him. IXPORTANCE OF DISCIPLINE, - Editor News and Herald: A good deal of sentimsntal symnpa thy is being wasted on the "poor teacher who has forty in a class. I remember a teacher a long while ago who had never less than 60 or 80 in a class and being a good disciplinarian never grumbled. It's all dissiph'ne. Who doesn't knew that a hen can scrateh for fifteen chicks just as cheer fully as for one. And she's that much livelier. Discipline is the secret of teaching. 3 TO CAMP RAISEs, U. C. V.

The severest part of a West [Pointer's ordeal is past and he "looks every inch a man." What a contrast his educated carriage is to the "slouch" fellow whose arms remind you of a wind mill, his legs a jumping jack and his hat on the back of his head of Paddy from Cork. The younger brother Grier has just returned from Due West with a No.1 record and the gold medal for oZratory. The Brices are an all round gifted family. PbgRSONAL. Prof. Carl Matthews' nas gone to attend the Teachers' Associatien at Harris Lithia Springs. Mrs. Riley J. McMaster and little Beatrice, of Tampa, Fla., are on a visit to relatives in town. Miss Louise Kirkpatrick, of Pros perity, is expected to-day to visit her friend Miss Christine Elliott. Mrs. Holbrook Rion and three chil dren left Friday morning for a month's sojourn with her sister, Mrs. Hardin, of Davidson College. Mr. John Workman and Miss Vir ginia Workman, of Camden, are ex pected in the Boro on to-day. They will be entertained by Misses Jennings. Misses Emeline Craig, of Black stock, Harriet Mood and Mary Ander on, of Spartanburg County, are visit ing in the Boro. They are the guests of Miss Bessie McMaster. THE FIRST STAMPING DAY. On Friday morning about 8.30 'clock, before the bank openei, quite crowd had gathered in front of the uilding waiting to buy revenue tamps. They appeared very anxious o give Uncle Sam some money with which to pay his war debt. Of course, ost of the stamps wanted were to aflx to checks. The kind used for this purpose at present are the ordi ary postage stamps, with the letters 'L. U." printed on them by the Inter nal Revenue Department. The docu entary and proprietery stamps are hout the size of the Cailumbian stamp with a warship on them, which we resume represents the Maine. Mr. Samuel Cathcart, Jr., was the first na at the bank on Friday morning, and to stamp and cancel it. A reporter on Friday called at sev oral stores and asked for a bottle of ologne. The clerks, almost without xception, passed it over the coanier, not suspecting that they were violating the law of the United States, and aking themselves liable to pay a fine f not more than five hundred dellars, r be imprisoned not more than six onths, or both, at the discretion of the court. Nearly every store in the eunty has on hand a small stock of perfumery, cosmetics and other simi lar articles, and, under the law, they will have to pay on each bottle, or other inclosure, with its contents, hen the retail value or price does not xceed five cent., one-eighth of one per cent; when the retail price or value does not exceed ten cents, two eighths of ene per cent; when not ex eeding fifteen cents, three-eighths of ne cent; when it does exceed fifteen ents and not twenty-five cents, ive eighths of one cent; and for each ad ditional twenty-five cents of retail price or value or fractional part thereof in excess cf twenty-five. cents, five eights of one cent. The stamps are in deno ninations of one-eighth of a cent up to fifty cents. The tax will doubtless catch a great many people. Many will violate the, law without any intentian of doing so; for instance, if a farmer in the coun try gives an order to his merchant in town to pay ene of his farm laborers I ny sum of money, sneh orders are required to be stamped. In this case, both the man who makes the order, and the merchant paying it, without its being properly stamped, are' able to indictment in Uncle Sam's court. Nearly every group of men seen on the streets now are discussing the new law, and iu a week or two nuost peo pie will have become pretty familia.r with it. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainnield, Ill., makes the statement, that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs: she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim of consumtion and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist sug gested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six boltles, found her self sound and well; now does her ewn honsework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at McMaster Co.'s drug store. Large bottles 50 cents . an $1.00 6 BL.3.CSTOCK BUDGETS. The base ball cranks of our town seem to stir the spirit with quite an enthusiastic zeal. They played two match 'games on Wednesday between Winnsboro and Chester and carried high honors over both teams by a great victory. Our boys played Chester once before this season, resulting in an overwhelming defeat of the Chester boys. We will not give the score uere as it might cause the Boro boys to get afraid and not play Blackstock again. The students of our town and com munity who have been attending the different colleges are all home now and has begun to show a great deal on the social conditions of the place. The crops of the vicinity are doing fairly well. The little cotton has be gun to blossom in time to see the grass put in its first appearance. Corn is doing well since the recent rains, but on upland it is beginning to need rain again. A few of our gardeners have had roasting cars. The freit crop is very light this year -that is apples and geaches-but su;h as plums and blackberries, we have plenty of them. Mr. W. J. Lathan had the mibfor tune to have one of his male's leg broken a few days ago. D . James Adams Hayne, of the First Stnth Carolina Volunteer', spent a few days last week in Blackstock with h's wife. Misses Carrie and Mary Lee Hardin, two of Capers Chapel's most fascinat ing young ladies, spent a few days with their aunt, Mrs. Wm. Lathan, last week. We welcome such in our community at any time. Miss Mattie Mills, 'who has been teaching school at Sugar Creek, N. C., has returned home again. Mrs. F. D. Thoin, who has been on an extended visit to her dangbter in Texas, has returned home. Quite a number from here attended court in Chester on Monday. June 30, 1898. M . L Bears the The KiGd You Have Always Bcuaht 8ignature of A TEACHER'S OUALIFICATION. No graver or more important inat ter can come before a people as parents and citizens than the selection of teacheri for their children. There is no calling in life's varied work involv ing higher responsibilities and few so high, as that of the school-master. He has too frcquently been judged in the aggregate by the unfortunate ec entricities of individuals. This vo cation, because often used only as a stepping stone, or way-station, to some other more lucrative and less laborious profession, has suffered in reputation nd dignity. The day is past when the teach3r's position is to be sought only as a convenient means to an end, or as a last resort for those who have failed in other pursuits. It is recog nized that he must be possessed of pcial qualifications, be fitted for his peculiar work by education, by zeal, by love for it and a conscientious de sire to impart all that he has received in mind, heart and body to his pupils for their upbuilding in knowledge and character. The command of God to Israel;was to teach his statutes and ordinances unto their children and children's children, in order that they igt learn and do them and be blessed. The orator (Rev. Mr. Smith), of the commencement celebration, sounded a clear and true note, when he said that education was neither sound nor true, when it concerned itself about the physical' and intellec tual and neglected the spiritual. Man is a trinity, of body, mind and spirit, nd education should take cognizance of all and cultivate and develop all the faculties to attain its true end. The teacher then shold be one Who recognizes, in himself, this tr-pwrt nature and gives due consideration: :o every part-who holds all his po A ers of mind, body and spirit as gifts fcomn his creator to b6 employed f e .is glory and for the disseminating that knowledge of him and his commanzds, as are essential to the weil being and progress of his pupils. Parents are charged with this care of their off spring, and when they depute this care to another, in consequence of the exigences of life, they are bound to see, that they select one who fears God and honors his will. Tne per entage is one in which r.kepticism and irreligion are organized forces atlack ing the vitals of social and business ife; the rationalism of German schools and the infidelity and abandor. of the Parisian in pursuit of pleasure are breaking down the sober reverence and regard of our people for customs and beliefs belt sacred for generations by our forefathers. We need to use every means at our ommand to inculcate and keep alive faith in God and obedience to His or dinances. For Christian and God foaring citizsns to disregard this quali fcation of the spiritual man, in select in teachers, who are to mould the charazters and educate the minds of their children, would be in the highest degree immoral. The teacher's influ mene is not confined to the e is room or the lesson uder recitation, but is far-reaching and operative, even with out his will or intention. And such is the tendency of cur- unregenerate nature-that we more readily appro priate the oad than the good. Let us then seek for teachmers whose ives are lives of faith and prayer, that their influence may be fe-r good and for the deepening and perpetuating les sons learned of pions mothers, thus sending forth reverent, God-fearing men and women, "who in their turn shall teach others also," and tbus transmit to generations yet unborn the priceless heritage of Christian princi ple, moral conduct, which hsve been bequeted unto us.
