ONE YEAR. - - $2.00 SIX MONTHS. - 1.001 THREE MONTIS. - 50 A. C. JONES, Proprietor. We invite attention to the two let ters published on our first page this week. Some friend, whose name is not given, wrote the letter published to Hon. J. N. Lipscomb. Secretary of State, urging him to join the move nent headed by Mr. B. R. Tillman, which it is claimed, ;s going to sweep the State. Mr. L:pscomb's re ply is bold and vigorous. and be re pudiates with ardor any attempt or threat to force him into the Tillman movement. Mr. Lirscomb is a little heavy on Mr Tillman. but it is but the honest indignation that he feels at any effort to draw him into a move ment by threats or rewards at the sacrifice of any principle which he may hold. Mr. Lipscomb is a farm er, and is a friend of the farmers, and as a member and active worker of the State Grange, has done much to promote the interests of the farmers of the State, and still has their in terests at heart and is willing to la bor Lor them and help build them up, but does not believe in pulling every thing else down in order to do so. Let the farmers meet, organize and watch the interests of their vocation, and demand the hearing in the coun cils of the State to which they are en titled, but in doing so they should recognize that others bave rights also. One set of men cannot get along in dependently of all others. -trouble is. some of the agi tators in this farmers' mnovemnent, have very much the appear-ance of try ing to get up an agitation for politi tical purpose and to further selfish motives, and it is, not so much, after all, bec.ause they have such great love ~for the farmers. We are the friends of the farmers, -and we dont want to see them duped. Let them organize if' they desire for the furtherance of their vocation and demand what is justly theirs, but in doing so we advise them to keel) their eyes open, and not let all this agita *tion1 become the saddle for men to ride into oficee on for their own amuusement. If the farmers have grievances let thenm try to correct them. Elect y-our best men to office, irrespective of what his profession is. President Cleveland has sent a message to the Senate in which he distinctly states his position in re gard to the demand of the Senate for his'reasons for making removals and suspensions, and he refuses to give any further papers. Hie claims it is his exclusive privilege to make re movals and appointments and the a -enate has nothing to do with it. There is no mistaking the President's position, and hie does not propose that the threat of the Senate, to make no confirmations unless his reasons for removals be given, shall change his course in the least. lIe says his pledges were made to the people and to them alone lie will be responsible. The report of the minority of the Senate J udiciar'y Committee cites various precedents to sustain the po sition of the President on this sub ject. The President is right. Let him stand firm. The people will vindi cate his position. The right to ap sepsnt'to and remove from offce is vested in him by the constitution. The rep)ublicans of the Senate will lose at their own game. 'The News and Courier, a few dayvs ago, published a numbher of letters from its correspondents throughout thre State. on the workings and effectsi of tl:e p)riority lien law on the ag ricultural interests of the State. the conclusions reached by these correspondents, it does not seem that this -prioritv lien law" is going to work the mischief some seemed to think would result from it. The merchants make no complaints - and the land owners cannot complain. ~'The ternants and reniters arc the only ones who would be injured, but the l andowners must have their lands worked and so the merchants are1 made secure, and everything is movingz about the same as usual. We believe in this county, that there well be less lien business thanI usual. We wvould like to know under what1 clause in the constitution, the consti tutional adherents in the Senate ap app)ropriate $250,000 to the erection of a mouument to Grant at 'Wash-C ingrtonn TEACHERS' DEPARTMELNT. C. W. WELCH, A. 31., EDITOR. For Teachers' Department. A Problem and a Principle. Miz. EDITon: The following prob lem appears in Robinson's Progress ive Practical Arithmetic, No. 24,; p. 148. A laborer receives $1.40 per lay, and spends $.75 for his sup port. how much does he save in a week? The special point to which I desire to direct attention in this ex ample is this:-should the number of days for the receipts and expen. ditures be the same? If so, whether six or seven. I find that students invariably use seven. - I would be leased to have you clear up another point which apparently disturbs the harmony in the process of multiplica tion of integers and multiplication of fractions. The multiplication of in tegers implies an increase; the mul tiplication of fractions a decrease. Again, in integers the product of two factors usually gives a greater result than the sum of those same factors, and in fractions the reverse is true. In short, I would be pleased to have the relation between whole nurn bers and fractions explained. We (our school) are very much in terested as well as gratitied at the appearance of your first article on English grammar. An effective plan is a felt need in our school C. E. [As Sunday is a rest-day, the la borer only receives pay for six day; work. As the laborer must be on expense even while resting. lie pays for seven (lays' support. Hence. 6 times $1.40 will produce $8.40 the amount of his wages. And 7 times $.75 will produce $5.25 the amount of his expenses. Therefore, $8.40 $5.25 will leave $3.15 the amount of his savings. Iultiplication is the process of taking one nu.nber (the multiplicand) as many times as there are units in the other (the multiplier). The nul tiplier is always an abstract number. In whole numbers, the unit is one. In fractions, the unit is one of the equal parts into which a single thing may be divided. The fractional unit varies; the intregal unit is constant. When seeking a principle of fractions, therefore, always reduce the fractions to a common denominator, that the fractional unit may be the same for all of them. The multiplication of integral num bers is the process of taking one in tegral number as many times as there are integral units in the other. In every instance but one the product will be greater than the sum of the factors, except wl'en one of the fac tors is unity. The multiplication of fractional numbers is the process of taking one fractional number as many times as there are fractional units in the other. n every instance, the sum is greater than the product, except when both factors are improper fractions. In the exception, since the magnitude of the product depends upon the rel ative values of the factors, it may be either greater or less than the sum. If we regard every improper fraction as a mixedl numnber-this is the more >hilosophical and simple-the excep ion may he omitted; and, then. it is universally true that the sum of two ractions is greater than the product. 31ultiplication is a short process of addition. Addition in arithmetic im plies an increase; therefore,multiplica ion in arithmetic implies an increase. But when two fractions-the improp r form being excluded-are multi lied together a decrease is usually he result. The reason is this: Sup ose we wish to multiply } by i. 'o do so, we virtually take the i of J. Now, the i of a thing is always less han the thing itself. Here is plain *y the idea of decrease. But if you ddito { there can be no decrease. -ence,~the sum of } and j is greater I ian their product. Similarly for< my two proper fractions. In arithmetic all numbers are com rised between zero and indunity, zero eing the absence of value and in inity being greater than any conceiv- 1 tble number. If 2 and 2 be the fac ors of a number, their product ist qual to their sum. This is not true< )f any other number or numbers. If i ach of two numbers is not less than . their product is greater than their m. If each of two numbers is less han 2, their product is less than their< un. If. of two numbers, the one isi ;reater than 2 arnd the other lessi hian 2. but greater than 1. their p)ro-t luct is greater than their sum. If, of: wo numbers, the one is greater thani Sand the other less than 1. their pro-i lut is less than their sum. This re-i atio is comprehensive and complete;i nd so far as we know, this is its irst announcement.] ome Hitherto Undeveloped Properties of Squares.* Y 0. S. WvESCOTT, OF CIIICAfGo, ILL.I The paper began by ascribing due redit to a method for obtaining uares and square roots, described v Samuel Emerson in 1865. Thet inciples and details of that methodI ere briefly summarized. Mr. West tt then statedl the general princi es of his own method, which is very xxpeditious. IIe first shows that the ens and units figures of all perfecti quares of numbers. from 26 to 49 t t nclusive, are the same as the tens nd units figures of perfect squarest f numbers from 24 to 1 inclusive. t . tabei m.reented as follows: i (-)4)2=576, add 100,=676=(26)2 (2:1)2=529. add 200,=729=(27)2 (22)2=4S4, add 300.=784=(2)2 ind so on. to (1)2=1. add 2400,=-2401-=(49)2 To determine the square of any aumber between 25 antl 50 find the :orrespondin- nnumbr below 25, and 1ugment.its square by the number of iundreds imviicate(l l% its remoteness rom 25. Or. nore conveniently. take the excess above 25 as hundreds, tnd augment by the.square of what :ie number lacks of 50. Thus : (43)2-=(43- -25", 00pu (M) = 1800 plus 49=1849. Conver.ely: To obtain t!i square root of 1764. Tlhe root Ji plainly between 25 and 50. The tens and Lnits tigures indicate S. Therefore Ahe squar! root if 1764 is 50-8=42. It is further observable that the Lens and units figures of perfect squares of numbers from 51 to 99 inclusive -.re the same as the tens and units figures of the squares of numbers from 49 to 1 inclusive. Since 4 multiplied by any number of hundreds plus 25. 50 or 75 gives an exact number of hundreds, it follows that the tens and units figures of the squares of numbers less than 25 rep resent all the possible combinations of figures in those orders of units for rdl square numbers. The termina tions of all perfect square numbers are 22 in all: viz., 00, 01, 04, 09. 16, 21, 24, 25, 29. 36. 41. 44, 49. 56. 61. 64, 69, 76, 81, 84. 89, 96. The following iule is then deduced To square any number from 50 to 100. take twic the excess above 50 as hundreds, and nugient by the square of what the number lacks of 100. Thus: (89)2-200 (89-50) plus (I00-89)2 = 7800 plus 121 =7921 Coaversel., the square root of 3249: The root is plainly between 50 and 60; the tens and units figures indicate 7; therefore the square roct of 3249=50 plus 7=57. For greater convenience it is noted that in such a case as the square root of 7921 the root is 50 plus 39 or 100 -il, and it is easier to use the latter form. That is, if the root is in the fourth quarter of the hundred, suu tract the number indicated by tbe Lens and units from 100, and the dif ference is the root. Thus the square root of 8281=100-9=91. To square any number from 100 to '200, take four times the excess above 100 as hundreds and augment by the square of what the number lacks of 200. To square any number from 125 to 250, take one-half the excess above 125 as thousands- and augment by what the number lacks of 250. By a series of steps5 of this charac ber the author gives methods for squaring higher numbers and con versey for obtaining their square roots. A choice of methods is als. ndicated. The facility which was btained by such means was d. 'tly lustrated on the blackboard uv the uthor, who in a few seconds per ormed such exploi:s as raising 5 m e 16th power, and then showed iu etail the processes which he had men ally executed. The paper sets forth ,he reason for each rule, deducing it 'rom the usulI binomial theorem, ith almost obvious simplicity. The demonstratious were received y the section with hearty apphlause. n response to an inquiry. 31r. West ott stated that he had been very ~uccessful in teaching this methodl in lasses, about a tenth of his pupils ecoming rapid experts in the meth >ds of sciution, which were especially stfid in handling quadratic equa ions, and determinining at a glance vhether a given number is or is not a er fect square.-Sciet fic Anmerican'. *Read at the recent meeting of the Amieri an society, 1883.

The New-: ad Cotirier atldres;ed a letter to each of its correspondents askinl-, the followig questions as to tle etleet of tle priority lien law itn his countv :-1. What has been the e1ect of the la w oi tile landholders in your section ?-2. Wh:t has been the effect of the law otn the merchants and others who have heretofore made a business of advancitng tm1oney or supplies Otn the crops ?-3. What has been the effect of le law, generally upon tlie laborers and renters itn your county ?- The re sult of the equlitries was published otn the 25th and is in silbtance : In Aiken County the condition of the far mlen is so excellent that the law is not exnected to have any serious effect. In' Anderson the law is satisfactory to tle latdlord and the merchant, but the laborers and tie tenants do not like it. -inl Barnwell the priority law is not giving aty trouble.--In Beaufort bar inoniotu nrrangeiments are said to have been made between the merchants and landowners so as to provide the renters with the means of procuring agriciitural advanees, and on this account it is said thait lie priority law- will not injuriously aitet the fariers of that county.-In Berkeley the law is regarded by many ais the death-blow to the agricultural prosperity of that county. Tie agricul tural opleratiotis on tihe sea islands have. been conducted since the war almost exclusively upon a credit basis and the security having been removed, of course the credit system has been at the same time destroved.- Inl Chester there is a wide diflerence of opinion a- to the effect of the law. The prevailing opitn ion seems to be that it will have the effect of reducing the area of land un der cultivation, and to this extent, at least, the etfect of the law will be in jurious.-In Chesterfield the law will have but little effect, inasmuch as inarly all of the farmers itn that county own their own latnds ant1d have them under their own control. It is expected, how ever, that the v-ges of tle laborers will be reduced by the operatioin of thme law. --Int Clairenidon thte fartming interests have not tbeent perceptibly affeted by by thte ternms of the new Act and the supply of labor is abont egnal to thte dmand.-In Colletotn the farmers and the business public generally are sid to b)e indifferettt to the operation of thte law.--In Darlingtotn the land owners and tmerchants are saitistied andi( te laborers atnd rentters wvill tiot be materially affected by the law.--In Edgefichi the merchants have tiot been embarrassed by the law, and the situa tioti is upon the whole cotnsideted fav orable.-In Georgetown the effects of the law have ntot beetn hurtful to thte nerchant, btit it is cotitetided that it will be injurious to the tetnants and that mnty of thetm will have to leave the State or tesort to the altertnative of be cointg comnmon hi red laborers.-In Greenville the itmmediate efreect of the law will be to give the landowners wreater cottrol over the managetment of heir fairnis. The law hmas made the merhatnts imore careful in adlvantcing to the tettants, and although there is some gritm bl ing on the part of the lien mer chatts attd thtose who engage in the busiess of mttking advances, the lawv is believed to be right and just to botht farmers and laborers.-Int Hampton the law meets thte approval of the land owtets, but ats it is said thatt "no pru de:t merchtatnt wvill take the renter's lien unless the lattdlord is surety, no prudentt landlord will be sturety without good collaterals," it is p)laitn that thte etet upon the laboring classes will not be beneicial.-Inl Horry the farmers have never given mnatny iiens bitt it is feared that the priority law will have the effect of keepingi down many ambitious Mt(d deserving citizens who would be, under more favorable conditions, able to act a fair start in life.-In Kershaw there has beeti apparenty no effect upon either the landlord, the nmerchatit or the tenant.--In Lancaster it is feared by many that the law will have the effect of causintg many laborers to emigrate fron this State. Thtere has beent a-de ided falling off in the advances which have beetn made by the merchattts. The law has htad the most depressing effect upon the laborers and renters of this section, and many of these people wvould go anywvhere if they had the mneants to pay t'heir way out of the State.--In Laurens the mnerchaLnts are said to be greatly benetfitted by the lauw, bitt the effcrtupon thte renters is not so grati fyig and the smatll farmers have una doibtedly beeni injured by thme passage of such att Act, while the laborers and renters will be seriously inj]ured1 by the chage of the law.-In Lexitngton the farmers aure genterally free from dlebt aid the p)riority law p)robably wyill tiot have any marked effect upon the ag rietltral welfare of that eouty. It is tot tunlikelv. however, that the land twers will~ tind somei diflilty itn sup plyig temselves with labor sullicit to conuct their operations itt a satis factory and profitable way.--In Ma rioi the lawv has ntot given satisfaction. It hurts both tenant and merchantt alike, aid is held in favor by the landowners simpl)ly for the reasotn that it gives thtetm greater powver over the labor of that sect ion.--In 3arlboro' the law htas made ito perceptible chiange~ in agricul tural operatioS.-Int Newberry it is sai that neither the merchants nor thte farmers, ntor the latndlords or tentants have beent inijuriously affected by lie lav.-In Oconeei thme law is declared to le a good thing for thte landownters, atd that it will not effect injuriously the1 COn(itint anid prosp)ects of the tenant1 and laborer.--In Orangeburg the law will practically have no effect, although it is said that a large numtmber of the colordl people. many of whom were the best laborers in that county, htave gotne1 West alhthtough they had entered itnto1 ontracts for the nmew year. it is not eitely stated whet her or ttot this em igrat ion has been thte direct result of the )riority law, biut doubtless the lawv has1 atd something to do with this outwvard movmntt of the colored people front that coutvt.-Ini Pickens the land oanes are~pleased and the merchantsaure m taking agricutlt ural advances as tustial.
