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.

tanburg county and a son of Maj. Miles
Ferguson, now of Lanford, In this

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

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.

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.

I TEACHERS' COLUMN. '
I
J. A. MADDEN, EDITOR.
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."

Deafness Canuot be Cored
by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There la only one way to
eure Deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustach
lan Tube. When this tube gets In
flamed you have a rumbling sound
or Imperfect bearing, and wheu it
Is entirely closed Deafness Is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out, and this tube re
stored 10 its normal condition,
hearing will bo destroyod forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but . an
inflamed condition of the raucous
sufaces.
We will give Ono Hundred Dol
lars for any Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot bo cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for

"Going! Going!! Gone!!!" Cries the auctioneer lustily, these
Goods must be sold. 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. Thanking you for past favors and
soliciting your future patronage, wc remain very respectfully,
