After some delibera tion it was determinied to call a meeting or citizens at the Court House at 4 o'clock this afternoon.

Mrs.' Chiapmnan had her thigh bromKen and Mr. Chapman received pain ful bruises about the head, face and thigh. The accident befell them a little before sunset, from which time until Nondayi noon Mr. Chapman was unconl seious.' Wheni lie awoke it was with the imnpression~tlhat lhe had walked home aind told his famiilv aill about the accident. We are happy 'to learn that Mrs. Chap mian his not suflered a compound froc ture. Both the patienit are cheerful. WYe had a pleasant little talk with Mr. Chiapmanl the afternoon before the acci dlent, amid, among other things, he qmi etly remarked that lie was preparing for death ;in other words, lie was "setting his house in order", against the hour of his departure.

A strange storf came to us last 1hig] respecting the abduction of a growu w, uan said to have been a daughter of Mrs. Tennant who lives about four mile from the city on the Winnsboro Ioad.

Two dogs were hitched behit the bugg,y, and some oMe informed Mr Tennant that the horse and buggy la been stolen from Newberry County. The whole story has a most, improb; ble line as an abduction, but we give as reported for what it is worth.-Colui bia Register. Interdenominational Sunday Sehoi Convention.

The Teachers' Convention We received a comnmunicationi lh week on the Teachers' Convention, b it came in too late for publication. It a pears in this week's issue. The Convention met at tihe appoinit hour on Tuesday the 18th and imimediat 1v proceeded to business. Th'ie first pap of the session wvas read by Commission Sale, the subject being the character am qualifications of the teacher. The lecture by Prof. C. W. Welch,< Arithmetic wvas one of the most imt( esting we ever listened to. Prof. Wel held the undivided attention of his n dience for about an hour and a half. I made his subject, which is usually co sidered dry, absolutely beautiful by t harmny and simplicity which he sho ed to exist throughout all arithmetic operations. Prof. Welch will repeat il lecture at some future day, before t Teachers' Association. Mr. Kibler's paper on geography w~ sound and practical, and elicited an a imated discussion froum the convenlti in which tihe ladies bore their part a showed that they knew somlethling ab1) teaching and could tell it. Mr. John T.1. Banks, thmen read a bri but mLost excellent paper on School D cipline, which was followed by ain int esting discussion.

There is a better way for working the good out of a boy-that is if there is any r good in him, than by whipping him. We believe that there is not a boy that lives >r but i.s susceptible of kind yet positive treatment. It is a mistaken idea that t ! force ald coercion are what a boy wants -not a bit of it. Boys generally and s naturallyare disposed to be hard-hea - ed. and not disposed'to dothe thin'. quired oftliem. Tliey shon not h hardly dealt by or forced to do anything. u Peruasion will go further than force. All boys have their season for think e inh that they know what is best for them, and they all harbor the idea that they are i:-ide for play rather than work. T ''herefore they should have" the time for plav. All work and no play makes .Jack a dull boy;" and the tinle for work - should he brought in as a subsidiary or scoiidarv aflair. Boys are reasoning animals -also. and 11 -little reason will work wonders. Do not force your boys. fath: n,. and mothers, and while askingb th:en for the work, do it with kindness, it. vet let them see that you will have it. y and if it be necessary to enforce your a order or request. do it not by blows or hard language, but by a denial to grant them . one little favor upon which their r- hearts are set. This will have a more sal r utarv etleet than corporeal punislment. d N. B.-When a boy is found who is S neither amnenable to kindnes=, to reason or that pu:ishment which deprives hiiii e of at pleasure-a:td we confess that there are some such boys, then our advice is to tlog theml, and if this will not answer r. take their hides oil'. n1 In response to the call of the Corpora d tars of the Newberry Buildingand Loan A-sociation, about fifty of our best and d most substantial citizens met at the of fice of Geo. S. Mower, Esq., on last Fri t- day afternoon to take steps towards or it gaiization. - Mr. John 0. 'eoples was called to the chair and Mr. J. Ward Simunons act ed as secretary. After some discussion as to the objects and nature of the asso >1 ciatiol, it was determined to organize as soon as 500 shares are taken. The charter provides that not less than 500 nor more than 1,000 shares shall be tak 11 en before an organization shall be effect h ed. it On llotion the following named gen )I tlemlen were appointed a committee to " solicit subscriptions : John 0. Peoples, " J. K. P. Goggans, Esq., W. II. Hunt, Jr., Esq.. Eduard Scholtz and James F. Ki! S gore. T ere were 120 shares taken be fore the meeting closed. -a By Saturday afternoon the committee had~2 0 shhares on theirsubscription lists. The shares are $100 each, and are pay ' able in monthly installments of $1.00 per l/ share, thus affording a fine opportunity to )ei=ons of limited income to lay by e :a smiall amount each month. - The objects of the association are to I- lend money and to furnish a safe and - prolitable investment to those having small incomes. At the end of one hun tt dred months, or eight years the busines t- is closed out and a divide tr ade. 'e These organizations have been found profitable wherever tried and we would advise all whom are able to do so, t0 take stock at once. Since the above was put in type the t. requisite number of shares have beei ob tained. :111d the Association is a fixed )f fact. d New Publications. e We have received the tirst copy of the r- i Bria Wreafth, publ.ished at Camndeni, S.
