The many cultivated Charleston peo
ple who heard Col. James T. Bacon, of
Edgofleld. last night In the handsomo
Unitarian Parish Hall, will have at
least one delightful memory for a life
time; and those who did not hear him,
have perhaps A treat before them for
the future. Col. Bacon's now famous
lecture, "Ah Old Man's Kranky Ka
leidoscope," i8a Btring of pearls?pearls
of thought, of pathos, of humor, of sen
timent, of religion, of fun. Col. Bacon,
to begin with, is a man of exquisite
personal grace and geniality. His man
ners are tho perfection of high breed
ing. As a pianist, he Is very accom
plished. His playing, although of the
most advanced modorn style, is, like
everything he says and does, exceed
ingly original. As a lecturer, Col. Ba
con is undoubtedly the coming man, If
indeed he is not already come. Col.
Bacon's lifo rocord is a very noblo ono.
He deserves the most exalted moasurc
Of 8UCCOS8.
Col. Bacon's delivery Is as quaint and
charming as the subject matter of his
address. Ho cannot fall to ploase.?

tho heroism of their gallant comrades.
A delightful picnic was served.

Our evening contemporary, the Poet,
has made some important changes in
its working force. Mr. W. W. Ball,
of Laurens, has boon elected managing
editor in place of Mr. H. M. Ayor, who
resigned tho position; Mr. Pitz Hugh
McMastor, of Columbia, has been
elected businoss manager to fill the
place held at one time by Mr. G. J.
Luhn, and Mr. J. J. Hyains, of Augus
ta, Georgia, has boon elected city edi
tor. Dr. Julian A. Barbot has been
elected a director of the Post. Mr.
Ball is a son of Col. B. W. Ball, of
Laurons, and has had considerable ex
perience In newspaper work, first as
editor and proprietor of tho Laurens
Advertiser, of which he Is still the
owner, and then as editor of tho Co
lumbia Evening Journal. Ho Is a
bright young man of good training and
fino promise, and will fill his new posi
tion with great credit to himself. Mr.
Mr Musi it ia the son of Mr. George H.
MoMaster, of Winnsboro, 8. C, one of
tho most prominent men In that part
of the State, and has been engaged in
newspaper work In Columbia. Mr.
Hymns was for several years tho Aug
usta correspondent of The Nows and
Courier; and has been for a long time
connected with tho local press of Aug
usta. He Is what is described In Geor
gia vornacular as a "hustler." With
such a forco as this our ovonlng con
temporary will doubtless take on a new
lease of lifo and render good servico
to tho community.?Charleston News

Horo is what tho Atlanta Constitu
tion of April 5th, has to say of one of
that city's prominent young citizens
adopted from among such our young
men. If talont, cleverness and earn
est attention to duty are wining quali
ties, tho prophecy of the Constitution
will be verified in John Garlington
winning his way:
Mr. John Young Garlington, tho
well known young attorney from South
Carolina, is now associated with Dor
soy, Brewster & Howoll in tho legal
business. Mr. Garlington Is ono of tho
most. piomi8ing young attornoys in the
city. Ho camo hore from Sowaneo
university hardly a yoar ago and in
that short timo has bocome widely and
favorably known In tho host circles in
tho city. His connection with Dorsey,
Brewster & Howoll Is but another step
In tho direction of success.
If you havo not already, this la tho
wook to got your molon and cantaloupo
beds mellowed, and bo roady to plant
by the 18th. Fifty hills of cantaloupes
and one hundred of tho molon will sup
ply an ordinary family. There should
bo an abundance for the family and
noighboi'8, somo to rot on tho ground,
and some for tho?melon fiond.
A jolly farmer laughed at tho Ad
vertiser's editor for his advice to the
farmers on cotton acreage and how to
pitch a crop. He said It was a waste
of words; ho had a neighbor that would
plant cotton for tho seed. Ho said
further that ho was into tho pindar
Idea and would divide with the editor
at tho first big political love feast this
fall. lie said fnrthor that he was a friend
of Bon Tillman and was going to write
for a scrap of his coat tail and havo his
old lady put it Into a.patch work quilt.
This editor retorted that it would bo a
"crazy quilt," and the parting was
friendly.
Swoot potatoes havo been and aro
selling in this markot for $1.00 to $1.50
per bushel, for a month. Irish pota
toes, corn selected and shelled of our
common varioties sold readily at $1.00
per bu*hel for seed. Chicken, hens
soli for 25 cents each and eggs at 10
cents -dor dozen. Loaf lard was sold
in tho city by a farmer in tho country,
at a high figure. Irish potatoes also
sell for more than $1.00 per bushel.?
These are things that a man can eat,
don't you know, and do thoy not teach
a lesson that ono may run and read
and understand.
Encourage emigration, build up
homo industries and homo markets and
plant food crops to supply thorn
Put your surplus money into indus
tries and this surplus will come when
wo cease to raise a surplus of what is
not wanted, in expectation of buying
at low figures from our equally toiling
brothors their iron, salt, lumber, cloth
ing, corn, flour, lard and bacon.

hood.
Tho farmers soom to bo very busy..
Thoy aro mostly engaged In getting
their land ready for cotton. I think
that less cotton will bo raised about
horo than in former years and moro
corn, otc. Vory little corn has been
planted as yet. Tho wet weather has
provontod it. Judging from tho sound
of tho farm bolls and horns, a great
deal of work must bo going on now.
Mr. Sid Maddon's blacksmith shop
was badly Injured by fire one day last
week. Mr. John Eichelberger camo
very near getting badly hurt in help
ing to put it out.
A Sunday School was organized at
Mr. Wm Stono's on tho 4th Lord's Day
In last month. Tho school will moot
heroafter on each Sunday aftornoon In
tho gin houso on tho Witte place.?
Tho lower part of this gin houso has
boon fixed up with soats, etc., by Mr.
Eichelberger, as a place for neighbor
hood preaching. Rov. J. O. Martin,
M. D., Rev. P. J. M. Osborno, and
others aro expected to proach thoro
during tho summor.
On la9t Saturday week a colored

Patrick Caldwell'sland, lot tho Uro got

dono serious damage If some neigh
bors hadn't kindly firod against It.

No small objection which young

TEACHERS' COLUMN.
B. Y. CULBEBTSOIlt Editor
All communication* for this column
should be sent to B. Y. Culbertson,
Madden, S. O.
Attention! Teachers.
We learn that all teachers who
expect to be employed in the pub
lic schools another year will be re
quired to have their certificates re
newed, and we think it best for all
concerned that every teacher in the
county who expects to be employed
to be required to come before the
examining board, and merit his
or her certificate. This is the only
protection to those of us who are
making teaching a profession. A
diploma from a college is not sufti
cicnt evidence that one is qualified
to teach the common school. Books
are different from what they were
several years ago, and one who has
not kept posted in the new series
of adopted books does not know
how by the new method of teach
ing and the new text books to
teach successfully.
Too many are teaching to kill
time and get the pay, and we hardly
think it wise for the school officers
to allow incompetent persons to at
tempt to teach.
Any one who is qualified to teacli
in the common schools ought to be
competent to secure a teacher's
certificate by going before the ex
aming board and obtain permission
to teach by the only lawful way to
show competency. Why should
one who is sufficiently posted to
pass the examination object to be
ing examined? Surely, if he feels
his incompctency to appear before
the board how much more ought he
shudder to think of attempting to
instruct when he himself needs in
struction.
We have a competent board of
examiners, and we have thought it
would be wise for the board to re
quire every teacher to secure a per
mit to teach by obtaining the cer
tificate on examination, and when
this requirement is made trustees
ought not to employ a teacher who
refuses to go before the board.
By a little care on the part of the
board and the co-operation of the
district trustees the standard of the
schools and the grade of the teach
ers can very easily be raised, and
they need to be raised.
The 19th of April is examination
day, and every teacher who wishes
a certificate to teach ought to feel
it Iiis duty to obtain his certificate
on examination and not on his col
lege diploma.
Report of Brewerton Academy.
Wc have just closed a three and
a half months' school at Brewerton
Academy. The number of pupils
enrolled for the session were foity
four, with a fairly good average at
tendance considering the weather.
Wc used only a partial list of the
newly adopted text books.
I think trom 8.30 a. m. to 4 p. m.,
with an hour and a half for recesses,
should be the length of daily ses
sion.
Recreation might be given to
small children between recesses.
Literary societies are of incalcu
lable benefit to every school, and
the organization of them should be
encouraged.
When every other means of pun
ishment fails I favor using the rod.
The suggestion expressed some
weeks ago to the delegates to the
Constiutional Convention of doub
ling the free school term I think
a timely one, as it seems the only
alternative of reaching the masses,
and they must be gotten into school
in some way. I lope to see this
plan adopted.
In regard to the proposed sum
mer school I am heartily in favor of
it, and should be glad of the oppor
tunity to attend a school of the
kind.
Hope you and our Commissioner
will succeed in getting all who are
interested in education thoroughly
aroused in the subject which has
been sadly neglected for the past
few years, especially our country
schools.

Report of Friendship School.
The session ol Friendship school
began on the 7th day of January,
1S95, and will run only about three
months.
I have fifty pupils on roll, good
attendance all the time, and have
no assistant.
The late adopted books arc not
used exclusively.
A child should begin mental
arithmetic as soon as he begins to
read, and has some idea of count
ing; and written arithmetic after lie
has learned to read well.
I would begin a child in geogra
phy before cither grammar or his
tory, since it is easier understood
by him, and to a certain extent pre
pares him for history.
The average pupil is ready to be
gin latin and algebra between the
ages of twelve and fourteen, but
they must not coin men cc before the
principles of English grammar and
aiithmetic arc understood.
The daily session should not be
longer than six hours.
I am in favor of a summer school,
and hope we will have one this
summer.

Summer School for Teachers.
I think they would be the very
thing if wc could get them without
taking anything from the schools
(or the children. I think all teach
ers who expect to continue teach
ing should be anxious for the schools
for teachers. We never get too
wise nor too old to be taught some
thing of use to the rising genera
tion.
If the school is gotten up I think
I will attend, if the expenses are
not too great. I oxpect to teacli
my children at home alter the
school is out, and 1 would like to
learn all I could to enable me to
teach them successfully^ It seems
) <TM
that times are getting so if children
are not taught at home they will
never learn much, the free terms
arc so short and the people depend
on them entirely in most communi
ties.
