Tho low value at which human life is estimated-if wo ure to Judge from the number of murder cases tried every year-Justillos thc opin ion that nu n have como to b< Sieve that they can commit crime and escape the conscqUOllCOS, by legal technicalities. Somo people seem to think there is always a way to save il man's neck, and to nil such, tho sight ofa public execution would not bo amiss. Wo bellovo thai not liing w ould so impress the SCtlU ctity of human lifo upon the hu ge body of ignorant negroes, who are continually quarrel lug and light ing, as to w itness an execution, ll is never a pleasing ^spectacle, but we think that nil who desire to sei lt, should bo allowed that privalege. The nrticlo ol Mr. JON KS, in this Issue, is well worth thc attention of touchers throughout the County. A teachers column if properly pat ronised, will be of inestimable val no to teachers und pupils und tho cause or education generally.

Those colored men who stood by thi> democracy in 1S7(> can now soo beyond doubt that w hen Hampton and other leaders told thom that the republicans were their enemies, it was more than campaign utterances.

Commercial Advert.'? ?cr shows briefly in the following url Icio, how completely opposed to tho A ?arican Iden, ls tho doctrino of tho K nights of ? iiibor, The Am 'cnn Idea is hut every man shall bo free to seek happiness in lils own fashion BO loni ns he (In?s not abridge (lio rights ot oth ers, The Kuighfs of Labor idea is t mt m? man Khali bo freo to do any Hiing except as tho State, through appointed oflieerM, may graciously give him permission-i say to baths or to work or to rest, ortotravelor to do any other thing that he wants to do. The American idea is that every nan shall enjoy tho fruits of Ins ow n Inon u ry lind thrift. The Knights of Lahor idea is that every man ?dinll work for tito Slate under tho direction ofolUcial superinten dents, and sholl enjoy only so much of tho results of labor us may bo officially apportioned to him. The Americim Iden is that tho State shall intern re with thc indi vidual as little us possible, w hellier in help or retain him, so that per sonal liberty shall ho enjoyen to thc utmost by all men. Thc Knights ? <<; Labor Iden la that thoriate snail interfere eouattinlly io till things, leaving thc individual no personal liberty whatever, Thc American Iden ls tiiat each u um'ti personal freed em ol' action und personal responsibility Cor his fortune shall ho nu Incc'uivo tv? each lo work industriously, to save his earnings aud lo Improve him self in Ids work io order that his fortune may bo bettered. Tho Knight of I.abm* Idea is that tho Slate ?hall destroy nil such in centives lo endeavor by denying to the individual all profit from his work, and assure him of tho sumo average wages whether ho works well or evil. The American iden is by norson til liberty and per -uni responsibil ity to give to every man thu high est possible Incentivo lo cultivate mind and character in himself and in his children, and to develop in the tate the highest und noblest manhood possible. The Knights ol Labor ?doa is so to organ lao society that manhood shall not coord ; that character shall have no advantage; that intellect shall hoof no worth t<> its possess or; that laboriously acquired knowledge or skill shall profit tho man nothing; that tho drone lu the bivi-shall have UH much honey as the worker, niai thal there shall be no mi re Inducement to .-indy, to cultivate their faculties, or t?> make the most ol' themselves in any way. Hot Wi en these two ideas wo must chou >o. Shill! we remain tree men or hecomo stale support ed slaves ? Shall w e adhere to the American idea in w hich wo were hied, and under which we have boen tllO happiest people o i 'ai th, or shall, we accept n new system from thc beer cellars ef Central Kli mpe ? For ourselves, tho answer is al ways roaiiy. We believe in the American iden, and shall adher?' to that iinlliuchingly Wo stand by the ?;I i? ii id' the fa thors and buhl personal liberty to bo the ono thing ni* supt eme worth in the world. Hotter Huit with starvation than abundance without. Wo are not KsauH that we should sell our birth right fora mess of pottage, howev er savory-and tho mess offered ls not savory, AS we have said be fore, wo take for our creed tho American idea, and tiro hostile to whatever i.i not in harmony with it. And wo boliovo that tho great majority of A me fi cu ns, native ami imturally.cn, uro of tho same opin ion. "A Toucher's Column" Fellow 'I'mr!i< rs ; You will please pardon one of tho youngest of the fraternity, for assuming the responsibility of mak ing a few suggestions t<> othor and more experienced mern hors of that noble broth< r-hood, 1 want to ''move and .

It might bo conducted by some leading- toucher, llitd then nil the toni liefs ill Hie COU ll ty should be encouraged to write for tho "de partment." They might give their experience, furnish bits <d nows, or ask questions. The young and In experienced teachers would gol tho benefit of tho riper oqporienco of the older ones, and ?is a result there would be confidence, new lifo und energy. A nd t lioso of us, who have bern benefit ted by any books, or paper on tito subject of education, cub give that as information, and wo can exclu? ugo books and papers. Two counties in tho states nave tried it with gfeat success. Some Of tho.-.', who Wen: connected with Coo "Teacher's Association" muy say th< rois no use to try to "get up" anything of tho kind in Laurens County. Hut WO know "that tho progress, of our country lies in tho educa tion of hor pooplo" and sundy the teachers of tho county will support any enterprise thai will hely toon able thom to tench more success fully, ff we caln't have an Associ ation, sundy WO can hflVC a "Teach ers ( oluiun." lt will not ho expen sive al all, and perhaps we can got the thoughts ol some lady (?tudier, whoso modesty would prevent her from making n "speech" at a Teach ers' Association. Our's is a noble and divine call ing; then let us try to bo Bomowha worthy ol'our honored vocation, by grasping every opportunity b> in form ourselves. Some may say: I ox pectodlhui Iso "right good ilung.'* und I hopo they w ill "got itup," b t that is not enough. I luive been thinking "that il was n good thing" for somollmo, ahdthey have not "gotten it up" yet. We must not only think, bet ?nd. No w how many will promise to support lt, by giving their export once, furnishing hita ?d' news, and asking questions, tbrough Its col umns. Please Inform us, either through the paper, or otherwise. 1 hope some of (he leading teachers w ill come to our assistance, discuss the subject, suggest some good plan, by which lo get thc "Column" star ted, and that Laurena County v iii not bo behind in educational mut ters. Excuse nie, Mr. Editor, for tak ing this spaco in your paiier, but I felt it a duty incumbent upon mo, as a teacher, to make a suggestion, Which if carried out, I think will be a permanent good.

Gentlemen i We tito undersigned, Assessors for nial's Township, mot ami to tho best of our ability have discharged the duly, assigned us. vis, assessing tho personal p' porty of Dial's Township, you will observe that in no ibstaneo lei ve wo either raised or lowered tho valuation of prop el ty, hut In every cuso have passed on ii, as given in hy tho owners, to tho Auditor. Wo could, with some degree of Justice, have equalized tho valuation of Hrs! Estate, by making au overage of prices in tho township. Hut wo could not con scientously rai so or low er tho val uation of personal property that we have never seen nor have any knowlego of tho value thereof, af t ir it bas been returned under oath by tho owner :. Por example,. A return bis horse ut #30. and,Il returns bis horse at ?70. Now A's horse may bo worth $7?. but how can wo conscientiously raise tho valuation <>f A's horse from $80. to i . ?">. win n wo have nev er seen it or have any know loge of the \ niuo of said horse. While wc think ?I is the object ot the law to equalize tho valuation of persona! as well as real properly, still wo must demur lo valuing ? property that wc havo never seen or know nothing of. While wo as assessors m .ly know something about the valuo of the personal property (d'our nearest neighbors, is it right foi us to mist1 or lower the valuation of their property, after they have returned il under oath, and* take no notley of.the valuation of the property of tho remainder, w hich is by far (he majority of the tax-payers of tho town-hip, whose returns are just as apr to bc? too high or too Iow as those of our near neighbors are. Now as a remedy for this, wo respectfully ask tho County Hoard of Equalization, to take into consid?rai ion the advisa bility of petitioning tho next Leg islature to so amend the law in re gard tousses lng property aa will enable tho assessors to see the prop erty to be valued, ol'course it would increas the expense of tho Auditors ellice, still tho burden ol' taxation would bo more justly distributed among t he t ax-payers.

This point seemed, n fud dressing O? ashes should bo worked iii, not loss (bini twenty bushels nu acre. If the kind is poor, n liberal dressing of cow manure should al so be worked in. Horse manure, if well rotted, niny be used, but is inferior to cow liitiiiure, and should he used cautiously. Used largely it produces too much vim; und too little fruit.
