The death of Mr. R. F. Ferguson, whioh occurred last evening at eight o'clock, cast a gloom over the Cotton exchange, of whioh he was a member. The exchange was olosed to-day. The telegraph instruments ticked as usual, and tho members gathered around the tables and before the boards, but there was an entire absence of the usual scenes of mirth and good fellowship. Mr. Ferguson was very popular with the members, as he was with everyone with whom he oame in contact. He was of a quiet disposition, but ever affable and pleasant Mr. Ferguson had been in the cotton business here for about six years, and by strict attention he had built up a largo and remunerative business. Ills death was due to a fall he re ceived while blcyollng last Saturday, followed by pneumonia. Mr. Ferguson leaves a widow, ffve children and two brothers In this city. His remains will bo forwarded to his old home at Clinton, S O., to-moorow. ?Charleston Post, Maroh 7th. Mr. Ferguson was born in Spartan tanburg county and a son of Maj. Miles Ferguson, now of Lanford, In this county. He leaves a widow, a daughter of tho late David Vance, of this county. He commenced Ufo in Clinton and removed to.Charleston several years ago. The remains were brought to Clinton on Sunday last and buried by tho Knights of Honor. The father and family have tho sincere sympathy of a largo circle of kindred and friends in this county. Jachin.

Taken in Time Hood'-: "arsaparilla has achieved great succour in warding off sick ness which, if allowed to progress, would have undermined tho whole system and given disease a strong foothold to cause much suffering and even threaten death. Hood's Sarsaparilla ha9 done all this and even inore. It has been taken in thousands of cases which were thought to bo incurable, and after a fair trial has effected wonderful cures, bringing health, strength and joy to the afflicted. Another im portant point about Hoad's Sarsa parilla is that its cures are perma nent, because they start from the solid foundation of purified, vital ized and enriched blood. But it is not what we suy but what Hood's Sarsap.irilla does that tells the story.

JI.M COBNGBAOKBB, Mr. Holme's Lecture. Notwithstanding the short notice given there was a goodly number of ladies and gentlemen in the Op era House on the 27th ult. to listen to the able and lucid address deliv ered by the Grand Dictator of the Grand Lodge of the State of South Carolina, Maj. John E. Holmes. The address was full of in forma tion as regards the management of that grand and noble Order of Knights of Honor. To repeat all the speaker so gracefully set fortli would be too much of a task for the writer to undertake; but I'll only mention a few facts for the infor mation of all those who were not present, and who may desire to avail themselves of the benefit of that Order. The Knights of Honor Order lias been in existence twenty-two years and during that period it has paid $52,000,000 on the death certificate of each member to his willow and oiphans. They have paid $n,ooo 000 to Ihe sick and needy of the Order?and all this at a small cost of not quite $10,000 to the officers doing the work. The speaker has his heart in the work, and is bound to do a good deal of good for that benevolent Order. L. G. B. OBITUARY. Died, at the residence of his mother, Mrs. D. E.

The next Teachers' Association will be held on Saturday, March 2 ist, instead of the 28th. The Teacher's Interest. The teacher's interest in his pu pils should be mado more manifest by his being more social with his pupils outsid the sehool room. The teacher should visit hie pupils at their home?, and see the home environments in order to know what allowances to make in the school room. Some children's home influences have a great deal to do with their management at school. And, besides, the teacher should become acquainted with all the patrons of his school, anil that the familiar home-acquaintance. He nhould so arrange his visits by previous appointment, that he 1 can meet the entire family circle, and io that circle counsel for the best interest of the pupils under his 1 charge. And in that counsel he should discuss freely and honestly what is best for the pupil. He should speak freely of every com mendable quality of tho children, and it is true that every child has some traits which can bo honestly praised, and the teacher should never fail to mako montion of the good traits of the children. Every parent likes to hear his children spoken favorably about, especially by the teacher. Furthermore, the teacher should very cautiously bring up the sub ject of the faults of the children at school, and in such a manner qs to elicit the hearty co operation of the parents. When tho teacher has 1 he aympathy and support of the parents the most unruly childron at school can bs easily, by moral .??u>i.'ion, ruled. It ie to be hoped that the teach ers will adopt the plan of becoming more familiar with tho people for whom they are laboring and make visits to all their patrons at their homes to seek their co-operation in the great work of educating the young. Moreover it is hoped that parents will look more closely about tho interest tho teachers manifest con cerning the welfare of their chil dren ; for a teacher who does not appear to exhibit any concern for the welfare of his pupils, except within the walls of the school room, whero he is paid for his six hours' labor, is unfit for tho place of a teacher. Counsel to the Teacher.?No, 1. The Arena has begun the pub lication of personal recollection of Longfellow, Lowell, Holmes, and others, and better than any counsel to teachers would be the reading of these recollections by the teacher himself. In any age like the pres ent, when so many new, tried and untried methods of teaching exist, it is folly to venture counsel; but there is one thing the average teacher overlooks: He takes school journals, and keeps up with the most approved methods, but he docs not enter the life, into the "sanctum sanctorum" of the great est teachers and commune with them. Touching the life of a Longfel low, a Lowell or Holmes would give a finer insight, a deeper in stinct, a more lasting inspiration than a thousand new fanglcd meth ods. I have 'no conviction more fixed and abiding than this: that the good works of such eminent thinkers and teachers too often die with them. If any one needs in spiration it is a teacher, and if any one can give it it is those who have stood highest in that profession.? And that leads us back to the very greatest Teacher: "Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain to build it." Those who undertake to mould and discipline the youth ful mind will find no preparation tor th;it office more complete than a communication with that wisdom which comcth from above. The teacher, therefore, of all men is called upon to look upwards to a source that is higher than himself, to the greatest not only of earthly teachers,?a Longfellow, a Loa ell, an Arnold?but to the greatest ot heavenly teachers. Tho instructor must be strangely blind to the re sources of his profession who fails to resort habitually to that great unbounded source o?: light and knowledge. In proportion to the implicitness with which teachers rely upon di vine aid should be the dilligence with which they use all the human means within their reach. They should acquaint themselves dilli gently with the most approved methods of teaching ; however fine spun theories will not accomplish the best results. No faith need be put in any theory of education which does not include as one of its leading elements hard work. There is indeed no royal road to learning. Any knowledge which cost nothing is usually worth nothing. Knowl edge to be of any ..value must be assimilated as bodily food is. The mind of the teacher and tho mind of the scholar must both act, and act together in intellectual co-oper ation and sympathy, if there is to be any true mental growth. Teach ing is not merely hearing lessons.? It is not merely talking. It is some thing more than mere telling. It is causing to know. It is awakening attention, and then satisfying it.? It is an out and line process. He serves his fcllow-mcn best who, by the depth and richness of his own life, permanently enlarges the lives of others; not he. who, rushing to and fro, spends himself upon the issues of the moments and pouts himself into a thousand channels which run shallow and soon dry up."

The Manufacturer must have money to continue Iiis business. The auction rooms arc full of goods and these goods musi be sold. We can buy them at price we name, it is true we have to pi^ cash right down, but what is that in comparison to the LOW PRICES we obtain. Our way of doing business is to Under-Buy and Under-Sell. We do not buy goods to make a big piifit upon them but move them quickly at a small advance. We have bought within live days an im mense stock of seasonable goods comprising Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats and Caps, Tin, Glass and Crockeryware, Stoves and Furniture, Also Watches, Clocks, Spectacles and a fine line of rolled Gold and Silver plated Jewelry. W e have just icceived a big lot of Stationery at a bargain, in which there is over one thousand Tablets and writting pads which we are selling at a close margin, 3c, /jc, 5c, 7c, 8c and 10c. To this line we call attention of all students. Call on us while in Laurens.
