There in it is stated that Mr. Langston appro priated tho money of the Dispensary to tho satisfaction of his private debts. This Mr. Langston absolutely denies. Ho docs not deny that thero was care lessness In the business management, and under the circumstances, a short ago was not remarkable. Ho states among other facts that upon public days and' salesdays tho sales went as high a; seven and eight hundred dol lars. On these occasions he had the assistance of A largo number of clerks, who were volunteers, and this was with tho sanction of tho Board of Control. It was totally impracticable in the rush to uso tho euro that was prudent. On one occasion a consignment of liquors amounting to fiftoon hundred dollars, was opened at night at tho request of ono of tho Hoard to suit his convon lonco. It has been discovered that on occasions boxos havo been thrown aside, which afterwards were found containing liquors. Mr. Langston readily concedes that thero was care lessness.

Davis <Alopor. r A Delightful Outing. it was our pleasant mission to be ??ailed to tho little hamh t of Gros? Hill In tho southern section of our QOUnty, on Friday last. It was tho oc casion of tho Commencement of tho schools in the town, successfully tauzht bv young Mr. H. Z. Nabors and Miss Clardy. Cross Hill is located near by tho Prosbyterian Church, known as Liberty Springs, taking its naino from a tradi tional skiriulso in tho revolutionary epoch, between a small body of Whigs and a band of Tories. It wus tho centre of a large element of staunch Presby terian patriots, who soon after the struggle for liberty, built out of tho natlvo granite oa tho ground a sub stantial house of worship. The church bus nourished and grown and still Is ono of tho strong bulwarks of tho faith, with a largo ana intelligent member ship to this day. Near by was Cross Hill, which no doubt takes its namo from the fact that while tho country around is comparatively level, at u crost of decided olevatlon two great highways intersect, tho ono great road leading from western North Caro lina and Buncombe to Augusta, and tho other passing from tho eastorn parts of tho State to Puckot's Ferry on tho Sa ludtt and to tho groat West. From the Immediate neighborhood have sprung many namos who huvecast lustre upon the county and In many Holds of useful ness dono honor to tho State. Fivo mllos west of tho town Is Rose mont, ori tho Suludu, tho hl&torio scat of a most charming hospitality, dis pensed sinco the Bovolution, where re sided Capt. Robert Cuningham, a prominont soldlorof tnc war of '12; tho father of Col. Jno. Cunlngham and Miss Pamela, familiar as tho Southorn matron, whoso splondtd appeal thlrty 11 vo years ago. wrestod Mt. Vornon from possible desecration and made It tho property of the world undor tho corporato oxlstonco It now has and per petuates tho homo of Washington as tho Mecca of tho world. Near by, and tjhrco miles from this town, Is trio birth place of tho McGowaii8, 'whore were roared Gon. Samuel McGowan, of Ab beville, nomor McGowan, Esq., of Lau rens. and Lieut. Alexander McGowan, who died during the war, Capt. J. T. McGowan, now a veteran farmor re siding near tho old homestead. Hard by, in tho samo neighborhood, was reared James Baxter, who settlod at Newberry, a man of unusual ability, and who died recently; leaving an en viable roputation that oxtonded throughout the State. Farther down tho river, but within threo miles of this old church, was roared Beaufort T. Watts, who became early -in lifo a captain in tho II. S. army, i.ftorwards Seerctaay of Stato for this State, Sec retary of tho American Legation at tho Court of tho Czars under Middlcton, und subsequently .served tho Govern ments Minister for nine yoars at tho Republic of Colombia and other Statos In South America. Upon tho property whereon Is now situated the depot of tho Seaboard Air Line Railway, was reared tho Rev. Martin Ball, an eloquent and powerful preacher of tho Baptist denomination, who emigrated to Mississippi In 1845, carrying with him a groat colony of prominent and wealthy citizens, who became prominent in that Stato. The school houses whoro those exor cises were hold wore erected about i860, under tho auspices of James Car tor, a prominent citizen, who was tho owner of the property. They were tho lirst substantial school houses built in tho country and initiated tho evolution from tho old classic log cabin. Mr. James Carter largely promoted tho enterprising spirit. Dr. Robert Camp bell Capt. Henry Carter Dr. Robert Austin. Dr. William Philips and the body of the citizenship contributing. Iii this vicinity, too, were also reared the two Plllliams, Capt Robert Pul liam. who was killed in tho army com manding a gallant old company that went out from tho city of Greenville, and in memory of whom tho Greenville Camp of United veterans is called ; Capt. Zaohary c. Pallium, who was in the secession legislature from old Dick ens County and who was killed com manding a company from that county at tho Second Manassas, his remains lying at the cemetery of tho Liberty Springs Church. A handsome little town is now fast growing up around tho depot of tho Seaboard Air Line, with enter prising, public-spirited merchants and business men. Here reside Col. Jno. C Williams an intelligent mem ber of the State llouso of Representa tives, with a largo porsonel of intelli gent physicians, it was a pleasant oc casion to tho writer to meet a fow school companions, male and fomalc of the far back past and bright, hopeful, sparkling, laughing faces of their chil dren of three generations. Cheerful as a cricket, wo met Mrs. .lohnCason Hill, with sparkling black eyed wee bits of grandchildren moving around hor.? Mrs. Miller, a surviving sister of Gen McGowan, we were rejoiced to meet with a little army of stalwart lads and lit tlo lasses, lien Wells agallAnt veteran in Iiis empty sleove, stood up through out the long exercises; there wo saw other old soldiers, as brave as "ever In tho whizzing 00's as Alex Owons, Silas Adams, George Banna, John C. Chap man, Ullis J. Dondy, and a num ber of others. Wo missed tho fa miliar salute of J. J. MoGowan, Aaron W?lls (my old comrade of Garys Brigade) David White ford and Samuel Loaman. These old followers are* no doubt awaiting with philosophic com posure, the "inevitable hour," huvo borne sufficiently the heat and burden of tho clay, and must tako their ease, and cannot turn out with us youth in these stirring times.

She is oight or nine years old and it is hoped it will not bo serious. Judge R. C. Watts has boon confined for a week at tho rosldonco of his brother, Maj. W. A. Watts with fever. His condition is not regarded as se rious, but It Is feared ho will not bo able to complete his work on tho cir cuit for this term. it is said that a new bank will be or ganized In this city this fall with Dr. E.

The return of Robocca Harding Da vis to periodical literature, after an absenco extending over more than a decade, is an oVent worth signalizing.

B. W. Ball in cur midst last week. He is always welcomed to his "native heath." Mr. William WattB, son of John Watts, shorlfT of the county somo years since, was In town last week. Mr. Watts now rosldes In the Lone Star Stato where ho holds an important post In rail oad business. Tho Important event of tho past wcok In town was tho closing exorcises of our High School. All tho exercises from beginning toond, which occupied Thursday and Friday plainly showed the qualifications Of the te.sellers. Prof Nabors and Miss Clardy for their im portant positions and the prolloicnoy oxhibltcd by tho pupils convinced every ono that good work had been dono in tho matter of education during tho pa9t year. The dialogues, recita tions, javelin drill and broom drill were umusing, Interesting, entertain ing and Instructive and evorybody was delighted. The central feature of the occasion was tho address of Col. B. W. Ball. The Col. held tho largo crowd spell bound for over an hour which he talked to thom on tho Importance of systematic and thorough education. As usual tho Col. abounded in facts and figures and illustrutcd his subjects by men and nations. Such talks aro cor tain to do erood and wo would most heartily wish that every community con hl 1 istcn to llko spocches ovory week, so us to set nion and women thinking, and then put them In action to educate thoir children. ? And now will you indulgo us whilo wo scribble a little about politics. It seoms that tho icadors of tho "Reform Party" havo set down on all or any di vision of delegates to the constitutional convention, and tho forty havo been side tracked or ignored entirely, and as wo aro led to bollovo that tho forty and tho conservatives aro all striving for the samo end that is peace and har mony and the good of our beloved South Carolina, it does soom to us that we should not omit nhything or lot any opportunity pass whore we might be.able to accomplish something for theso objects. In this division lot there bo a thorough and comploto or ganization of tho conservatives and lot us put forward our good nion as can didates and present them to tho pcoplo of Laurens at the approaching primary election Wo fool sure that wo can loso nothing by this and wo might go in something. Tho primary is or dered by what is known as tho Demo cratic party of tho State and although thoro has unfortunately nrison differ ence! amongst us, which differences seem to bo irreconcilable, but in this matter, which is notforoilice or politi cal preferment, but is to niako the fun- i dumontal law under which wo arp to livo and thrive or sink and die, we should not fail to do anything which might be of use in *hls all important matter. We can't de anything outsido of tho primary, for that will settle tho question as to who will be tho dele gates, and from what 1 can learn I be- , licvo that if good, true, honest and sin^ coro men, farmers if possible aro put forward, there is a iiving ehanco for some division of the delegates. The American people arc lovers of fair play and the overbearing, tyrant* cal and dictatorial manner of somo of tho reform leaders is working like a fer ment among them. The party lash when used too sharply galls on free Ameri can people and they kick against the party using the lush. Let us be up and doing and take advantage of tho op portunity now oll'ercd and not sit su pinely down and mourn and complain of ills and put forth no effort to remove them. Let young active and vigorous men bG put forward and let them "carry the war into the onemys linos" and by persistent effort well directed tho victory can bo won. But nothing will we accomplish by sitting down like Mieawbcr '"waiting for something to turn up." Scribe. Lisbon, Mr. Wallace MeN'eaeo, of Union, is visiting the family of J. T. A. Ballew.

O. Lesson on Reading. This subject should claim our at tention iirst of all the piiinary s>tud ics, as reading is the key to all the rest; it is not the key to school-room alone, but to ail the vast stores of knowledge that wise men have em balmed in books. Reading culti vates the aesthetic nature of the child, like music, painting and sculpture. v F. W. Parker says "reading is get ting thought by means of written or printed words arranged in sen tences." However, it is that, and more. It is an expression of thought and feeling. In teaching reading the work will not lie rightly done unless wc begin with the learner's present stock of knowledge, and go on systematically from that starting place. A method: Take a real object witli which the chilli is familiar, and in which lie is interested, it may be a cat or dog. Have the ob ject itself, a toy representation of it, or a picture of it, or all of them, actually present. Get him to talk about them; be sure to arouse his interest by suggesting different things concerning the object. Call his attention to the spoken word that represents the object; now write this corresponding word on the blackboard in neat scrip. Point to the word, and ask him to go to tho board and point to the word also. Let him attempt to reproduce it on his slate. Introduce every way of exercise that your ingenuity will suggest to help him to be fa miliar with the word. Continue this slowdy for several days until the child knows the word perfect. Next give him a lew verbs, such as run, sit, pat and sleep. You can now put short sentences on the board, using nouns and verbs already learned, articles, preposi tions and connectives come later on. Do not lead tho sentence for him, lie will imitate you, which should be avoided. When the work is slowly ami carefully done he will read correctly out of his own thought and imagination. This is a real reading-analysis. All this lime no attempt lias been made to teach the child his letters, that is he docs nut know them all by their real name. lie knows the elemen tary sound, and lie can make them with more or less success, but lie cannot distinguish them. 15y slow pronunciation be may learn them very early. Example: c-a-t-s h-a v-e e-y-c-s. Do not name these letters, give sound?, i his's the phonic el ements with the written lctteis that represent them. Lkk Nblson. How to Govern a School. A teacher who cannot govern himself cannot govern a school. If a teacher carries a restless spirit into the school-room he will lind restless pupils. If he shows anger, impatience, carelessness, untidiness he is met With the same. So he must always keep calm, cool, collected. A number of rules do more harm than gootl. They make pupils feel as if they were shut up in a prison, crushed under foot by laws that rasp instead of benefit. The best teacher.-; wc have arc those that have but one law, which can hard ly be called a rule, the yoke of it is s? easy because of the teacher's in terest in his work. The rule is, ?'Always keep busy." Always keep busy, and there will be no lime for mischief. One way of restraining large boys is to remind them accasionally, "Not to forget that they arc gen tlemen." They will straighten up at once, with a different feeling entirely. Never forget to treat them as gentlemen. Instead of finding lault, and making harsh criticisms see in them something beautiful, true anil noble. Teach them to have lofty aspiration, a high sense of right and gentleness, and when a boy docs a praise worthy act tell him how proud you arc of such boys. Why bo on the lookout for faults more than for virtues; and what is more exasperating to a high spirited boy or girl than to have some one constantly seeking to find out all the had and ignore all the good: Seek out the good and commend it, and you will be surprised to lind that the good will invariably bal ance with the bad. Then a teacher must always com maud respect. This he cannot do if he has any disagreeable habits.? lie must be neat in his attire and quiet in his habits. "Government and co-operation arc in all things the laws of life; anarchy and competition the laws of death." Weak and Nervous Describes the condition of thousand.? of people at this season. They have no appetite, cannot sleep, and complain of the prostrating OffoCt of. warmer weather. This condition may he rein odlcd by Hood's Sar.-apai i I la. which creates an appetite and tonos up all the organs.' It gives good health by mak ing the blood pure.

The most remarkable Water on ihr Market to-day which is | Shown by its Analysis and Testimonials of the Most Noted Physicians of the Country* Read what a prominent merchant of Columbia, S. C, has to say for Harris Lithia Water. ?1 had long been affected with kidney troubles. I had tried* all the mineral waters from Saratoga to Porter Springs. I had tried tht^ Western waters and ; !l others that I could hear oL and I have no hesi tancy in saying that none have benefited mo eyen approximately as much as tho Harris Lithia Water. 1 was using thcflhtlValo Lithia WatexJ when I heard of this. I do not expect to use the fthilfalo Water agni:*.. "When I went to Harris Lithia Springs, I had to be assisted out of my chair, Aft r remaining two weeks l could get about nsj'good as anybody. It acted <-ii me like a charm-?quickly and effectively. Th?r water is now being largely sold in Columbia, and I th nk every person who h;is tried it will agree with me in the belief that it is the most re markable water in the country. From a simple interest in suflering hu manity, I would like very much to sec it given a trial. 0. A. BALDWIN, Columbia ^S*^ Harris Lithia Water Co., Harris Springs. S. C. A -iiKvii.i.i:, N.
