The Soufh Carolina College for Teachers. Arttfccmgh nearty Rppr caching ft* ?>teanin.1 anirtwraary, the South Carolina College shows now of the decrepitude .of old age, hut rather increasing sign* % of vigorous life. A new departure of great Importance to the College and to the State has just been Inaugurated. For nome years the College has had a department of poJasogy, for the train*ng or' teactreio; but lust winter, for the first time, the legislature created a nuiildcr in (.nilowoit . ? ..... , me 11ww r* resident has won golden opinions, and has more than maintained thh confidence ami affoctioji gained In.his long service as professor.

THE ETIQUETTE OE HATS. New York I'ress. Tipping the hat is a rare thing among t"en when there are no women around. A few fine old follows cherish the habit of tipping to each otiier and to Ftrangers when introduced, but ordinarily the hand never touches the brim. In business offices there ia no sort of etiquette. Men in the sweep and rush of business have no time to give thought to hats. But certain decencies ahould prevail. On entering a private office look at the head of the occupant. If he has his hat on, keen yours on ; if his hat is off, remove yours. The removal of your hat is a compliment and a courtesy and does not indicate that you are inferior or subser vient. Henry W. Rogers, one of the most active of men, being a Standard Oiler, always takes off his hat when he enters a business office. If money could buy happiness most people would be miserable. A man may evade responsibility, but he cannot dodge the results. Very lt?>iuarknble Cur? of IHitrrtaoea.

It is the intention of the Tiustcs and Faculty f f> f cV.ol., eh|??Q 7 '^7^ plane, and to week thereby to qualify superior young men for positions of leadership and influence in our public schools. However largely women may be employed as teachers, the work of superintendence, direction and control must continue to be most largely in the hands of the men; and it is to suonlv these teacher? of leadership and Influence, in the cotntnunity as well as in the schools, that the College will chiefly stm. through these scholarships. Hence, no young man under nineteen years ?f age will be eligible, and preference will he given to those applicants who have already taught with success for at least one year. A special and technical course of Ptudy has been established, on a high yet .practical plane; and H Is intended (hat this department shall he worthily entitled to be called a "College for Teachers." All the work will he dis ttactlvely normal, and apart from the regular College classes. The trustees and Faculty feel sure that in preparing a body of strong and well equipped men teachers the College will aid in supplying one of the most Important needs of the State. They hope, also, that this work, in its success and its results, may meet with such public approval as to lead hereafter to its still further enlargement. (Jlrculitrs have been issued giving the details of regulations and course ot study. The present Reunion, n*^ nearly ended, has been very encouraging.

Pu da More than 3,000 laborers are 0f engaged in tho work of doubletracking the Southern Railway a I from Washington to Atiuuta, and ex ' 'he uT%d"rt?kir?2 is being hurried ? 3 C A to completion. The following ^ statement about the work was ... made by a pronnuent railroad jQ official: "The large force of hands," he said, "numbering 3,000 or more, are quartered 111 tents from H Orange to Alexandria. The work is being done by squads of hands. 200 or 300 in each squad. There fQ are several overseers to each 0j? squad and Capt. J. A. Dodsou has go a general supervision over the wj eutire force. "Along the liue of work the ju farmers are reaping a harvest of ju money by supplying hands with a ( milk, vegetables and such like, jjj The men are paid off weekly, and as is usually the case, the negroes spend about all they make at the 8t) nearest town. ^ "As haB been stated, President jia Samuel Spencer figures that dou- ^ nle-tracking the system from w| I Washington to Atlanta will cost ti, about $25,000,000. A large amount of this vast sum will be 0f paid out to day laborers. pi I "At present the surveyors and at engineers are working between Danville and Greensboro. It ? will bo some time before the iltJ actual work of double-tracking sh will begin on this division, as it is the wish of the Southern olli- jamais that the work bo completed ^ between Alexandria aud Lynch W I burg before the start is made on So any other section of the road. ila "The twenty miles of double track now almost completed is beiug ballasted four feet deep. In this respect the new trackago ^ is much better than the present ^ main line. be "Capt. J. A. Dodson, who has tii charge of the work, has more cu than 3,000 men engaged in the work. Most of this number are ge negroes, who came from the J. fnrniR of the South. This whole- ? sale exodus of nogro farm labor to that section explains in a measure the scarcity of help throughout this section. tht ''When the work first started a <:el tes large number of Italians were tin employed to work with the negro laborers. It was uot very est mauy days before trouble of a 'l''1 serious nature resulted. The negroes refused to work with the foreigners and a big stiiko was imminent.
