C, on Salosday in April at 11 o'clock, a. m., for the pur Kso of electing two out of their num r to serve on tho County Examining Board of Pensions for Laurens County for 1896. 9 A Beautiful Volume. Palmetto Lyrics will find a welcome at every fireside where love Of the Pal metto State and pride in her history and the deeds of her heroes and he roines are oherished. It will be found to fill a long felt want as it will be the means of making much more generally known the many stirring and beautiful incidents of courage and self sacrifice of the Revolutionary period. Its legends too of our very own localities will be found full of interest and beauty. Tho little volume Is tho work of Professor Muonoh, of Charleston, a man of much literary culture and ability as is shown in these poems. Perhaps the selections whloh /will appeal especially to Lau irons readers are Dicey Langston, the ^herplne of the Enoree section and John Laurens, the brilliant young sol dier whoso name our county bears.? This last named poem abounds in beau tiful passages and is one of the most striking in the collection. Professor Muench's book has been published by Lucas & Richardson, of Charleston and is to be had for a dollar and a half, a small 6um for so delightful an educator of our own and our chil dren's knowledgo and lovo of our State and tho men and women who have made it proud. Miss Helen Cox, formerly of Virginia, but recently of Baltimore,' has just vis ited all the Northern cities and is thor oughly posted on all the latest styles in millinery. She has had five (5) years experience in the millinery business, is with us and will be pleasod to show our Customers all the latest novelties in mil linery. Our opening days will be an nounced later. W. A. Jamikson. Somo newspaper men seem iucapablo to realize that ex-Congressman Shell has absolutely retired from polltlos, of whloh he has had an "elegant suffi ciency." He is perfectly contented with homo life on his farm and could not be induced to leave it to re-enter the turbulent world of politics. Yet, no matter whero Captain Shell goes, his movements are dogged by repor ters, who magnify every meeting of that gentleman with his personal friends Into a huge political conspiracy. Must Captain Shell lead the life of a hermit in order to convince those gen try that he is indeed out of politics? Tneir treatment of him savors much of persecution. He asks only to bo al lowed to pursue undisturbed tho even tenor of his way as a private citizen, and ho should be granted that boon. Columbia Register.

Attaining Greater Heights. Agriculture has not yet reached its highest state of development. Tillers of the soil have been slow to take hold of new ideas, preferring the old ways their fathers trod to any new ways sug gested by those seeking better moth ods. This is fitly illustrated in the history of the labor of The Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer for fifty three yearB graphically presented In the Maroh issue?the Anniversary Number-.of that pioneer.in agricultu ral reform. Much progress has been mado along many lines slnoe It bogan Its noble efforts to Introduce a more enlightonod system of agriculture.? When it commenced the farming classes were averse to the interchange of ideas or to benefit by the assistance of the experience of others in agricul tural papers. Slowly and Burely they have learned to regard the agricultu ral press as their best friend, and to consider The Southern Cultivator as their best friend. In the curriculum of the great school of agricultural the use of so a impor tant a text book as Tho Cultivator cannot be dispensed with. The head in the first number was striking and suggestive, but none the moro so than tho illustration on page 133 disclosing the motive of Its effort and secret of Its success, "Excelsior." The illus trated front page of the cover is a re velation of artistic effect and reallstlo suggestion of fact worthy of conside ration. Indeed the March number of The Southern Cultivator Is beyond question the best issue of that or any other agricultural periodical ever pre sented to tho farmers, and is well worth the subscription price per year, the small sum of 91.00. Wo will send The Advertiser and Tho Cultivator, one year, for $1.75. PRINCETON NOTES.

The Mouth Carolina Democracy has struck another snag. Time was when the South Carolina Democ racy stood together rock-ribbed, positive, absolute, unanimous. It tolerated no differences of opinion and it dominated the Democratic party of the nation. Whoever with in the Stale differed from the rul ing powers had short shrift given him. He was annointed with North Carolina tar and decorated with South Carolina feathers and fired out with a directness of purpose quite Puritauical in its dogmatic precision and a vehemence of man ner altogether tropical in its warmth. And when differences arose between the South Carolina Democracy and the Democratic party of the nation the South Car olina Democracy broke up tho par ty and proceeded with more haste than deliberation to dissolve the union. In tho enterprise, it may be recalled at this lato day without cruelty or un kindness, the South Carolina Democracy, to use u fa miliar expression, "got it in the neck," It resumed business along in the seventies, and in the eighties was in full feather once more. There was no real trouble on the inside of the South Carolina De mocracy until 1890, when a very pronounced difference aroso which resulted In the success by an over whelming majority of an Indepen dent with the preoont Senator Till man at its head. This party is still in power. It has two United States senators?to wit: Messrs. Irby and Tillman?both elected as I>.;oo crats, but as Independent Demo crats. In South Carolina they never tolerate anything that isn't Democratic. Men may differ as widely as the poles, but they are all Democrats. And now there'e another division. Senators Irby and Tillman, from having been the most intimate personal and political friends, have fallen out and are no longer on speaking terms. Both continuo to be Democrats, as are also ex-Sena tora Butler and Hampton, whom they defeated, displaced and suc ceeded. The difference of opinion between these two eminent South Carolina Democrats seems from this distance to bo a trifle obscure and insubstantial. So far as we can make out it relates to the rath er remote contingency of tho ac tion of the Democratic National convention on the silver question, Senator Tillman threatening that he will bolt if the convention does not adopt a free-silver platform, while Senator Irby, whoso views on tho .silver question aro precisely tho sumo as those of his colleague, maintains it to be tho duty of the South Carolina Democracy to st ind to tho party whatever position it may take in the silver or any other question. This makes an extreme* , ly interesting situation. That is to I say, interesting in South Carolina. Anywhere else it might not be deemed of sufficient Importance to raise a row over, so long in ad vanco of anything in particular having happened. But senator Irby happens to bo chairman of the Democratic State committee, or rather of one of tho Democratic State committees. And he has is suod a call for a State convention. Tho call is not easily understood, but the language of it is extremely beautiful and inspiring. He opens it with a recognition of "the wide differences of opinion as to tho dp tails of party policies, and party management," but adds that, fully allvo to the present emergencies upon tho Democrac y, wo cannot but realize that the party's purposes and successes can only be attained by discipline and organization. Ho then goes on to say, with tropical luxuriance of expression: "As un derstood by us, tho hope of the country is centred In the Democrat party. Its principles, which have been handed down from Jefferson and Jackson, are absolutely neces sary to maintain tho equal rights of all the States and to secure the wise and economical government of the country. Whatever differences there may bo as to tho applicat ion of the gonoral principles for which the party stands, all must agree that only by harmony, concession and loyalty to tho party can great ends bo accomplished." This, it will bo observed, though a little lacking in deflnitoness as to what precisely are the "principles which have been handed down from Jef ferson and Jackson," Is very fine and highly impressive. There is much more of it; but the conclusion is most to tho purpose. It moans business, and run thus: "However we may differ as to details with our brother Democrats from other sec tions of the Union, wo all know that tho Democratic creed and a Democratic control ol the govern ment aro far better for us than any thing we may expect from our op ponents." That,s the gist of it.?? "However wo may differ," it is "far better for us," to stand together and got what we can out of it. That, generally speaking, is what the principles "handed down from Jefferson and Jackson" actually mean, and pretty much all that thoy moan to tho average Demo crat of this year of our Lord.

MADDEN, BD1TOR, It is the duty ot teachers, holding as they do such a close relation with the pupils, on all occasions to preserve the most social bearing to ward the children they are teaching. Whenever a teacher meets his pu pils at other places than the school room he should, in the most friendly manner, show his interest in them by such courtesies as are due from one friend to another. He should be glad to meet them, and should recognize them in the most cordial terms. He should enter into con versation with them, if circum stances permit, upon the most pleasant topics to the children.? This would give the teacher favor able opportunities for appealing to the better sensibilities of the chil dren, and would help the teacher to discipline the children more eas ily when they meet in the school room. Now, upon the other hand, if the teacher fails to recognize his pupils when he meets them away from the school room the children naturally and rightly conclude that the teacher is hypocritical in his manifestations of interest in their welfare alone in the school room.? Children arc sensitive to even ap parent neglect of courtesy from their teacher, and the teacher should be very careful on all occasions to show to the children that his inter est in them is sincere. If the teacher is brusk and reticent toward his pupils the children readily feel the repulsiveness, and lose to a degree confidence in the teacher's sincerity of interest shown in the school room. No one is capacitated for the high calling of a teacher who is so brusque in his manners as not to be able to make himself agreeable to the finer sensibilities oi the chil dren wherever he may meet them. The people should see that the teacher be an all-round educator. Prettist and cheapest line of spring clothing ever shown in Laurens at Davis & Roper's.
