At an informal meeting of the com missioners in charge of the comple tion of the State House, on the 5t instant, Mr. Neilson, the architect, stated he had corresponded witi dealers in lumber, in and outside of the State, in order to find where lum ber of the quality an1 in the quantity required in putting the new inetal roof on the building could be bought, and that Messrs. H. James & Co., of Baltimore, Md., had made the lowest offer, viz: "That they would furnish 75,000 feet of well seasoned lumber, all heart, sawed from seasoned logs. without having been boxed or bled, and without being effected by wind shakes, to be dressed, tongued and grooved and to be delivered at Colum bia at $28.00 per thousand. The mem bers present, after hearing the report of Mr. Neilson, thought that this was the best that could be done, and one of them told a reporter of the Regis ter that he expected that they would have to accept their offer; but at a full, meeting of the board on the sixth instant, it was decided to advertise for bids for this and other material before taking final action in the mat ter. The Register, on the worning of the 6th, condemned what we sup. -pose it co'tisidered to be the final ac tion of the board, and intimated that it looked like a job. We think this unjust to the ofmiers who constitute the commission ai d to the architect who brought wsithi him to our State oW ~ highest character. - men stand charged piublic as being implicated in a job, in the purchase of a small bill of lumber that amounts to only $2,100 at $28.00 a thousand. If the commission should succeed in getting the lumber at a lower price, the mar gin for a job would be very small, >and the Register must know the 'members of the commission too well to entertain ser'ously for a moment the thought of attack upon their character; at the same time they stand charged by them with jobbery. -~ ISTAKE. Our local cotemporary, the Ob server, in a recent issue, criticised severely the action of the last Legis lature, for appropriating $150 for the Carolina Teacher, published at Co lumbia. The Sumter Advance copied the Observer's editorial and ex pressed its approval by giving as a heading,. correct." The Cotton Tirant copiedit, and joined the Ob server in condemning their action. In order to save others the trouble of~ writing on this subject, we would say that they are mistaken; no such ap propriation was rrad by the Inst Legislature. .-For the H'ER:.u.o .u Ni:ws. Educationr : Farmner-' Nons~ and Ihe News- & C'ourijer. -The News & Courier ha3 given us three very elaborate editorials to prove what no 'one, so far as I am aware, had denied, or pretended to deny; that is, first, that a fair proportion. fifty-founr per cent. of the -stadotr ttending the State Univ-er sity are the sons of farmers or of those interested in farming: second. that three-fifths of the be-neficiarv cadets of the Citadel Academy are farmers' sons. and lastly, that tour -fifths of the public school fund is ex pended for the education of farmers' children. As for the latter. I pre 1b'ne, and I have not heard it denied by any one engaged in the farmers' movement. that the public school fund is divided approximnately-, at least. as it should he. impartially among all the children of the State attending public schools; whether white or colored. rich or poor, the children of farmers, or dioe tors, or lawyers, or mechanies. To attempt to prov-e this. , whenf no one -bas denied it. is like charging on im aginary wind-m:iis. Very much the! same with the attendance at the St ate University and the Citadel. No one denies that if' a farmer's son prefers a to abandon the profession of his fathers and become a lawyer, or doc. ter or pursue a literary life, or get a ~military education, which he cannot from thie very nature of the case fi low up afterwalds, the State Uni versity and the Citadel stand open to him for that purpose, just as they do for the sons of lawyers or merchants or doctors or any otier class Or the people. But I submit that the News & Courier mis4es the point c:n of entirely. whlilh is. tit not withstandin- inore than three-orhs o our people are engageI in :i,I denendent on farmninr. an( 1o"'with. standing a large proportion of tie taxes comes out of fin farmers' pockets, notiing. we may say. nlinot absolutely nothinq is don for the education of farmers isas d. Uhe most important interest of the Sat is treated as if no special ediucation or training was necessary to prelpare men for success in it. This is the point of complaint made by Capt. Tillman and those engaged in the farmers' movement. Oi' course the News & Courier is entirely too astute not to 1fave pereeived that this is the ground of complaint. But it pur > posely pretends not to se it. and to go into elaborate arguments to prove that tie farmers' sons evjov a fair proportion o the ativocates of the Stat. University and Citadel in order to draw off the attention from the main point. It Lopes in this way to get the 2(.0,00 appropl.*T.ai con tinued for the Citadel, and to con tinue to appropriate the National agricultural fund to the use of the State Universuv. It is to be pre sumed, however, that the farmers' convention will demand that this latter fund be used as it was intend ed. vnd be replaced by a fair tuition fee; and that the .0,000 be diverted from its present purpose, and be united with the agricultural fund to establish and support a real ha fin agricultural college with experimental farm. It is to be hoped that the con vention will not only demand this of the next Legislature. but will also re-ommend that no candidates be supported for the Legislature by farmers and their frinds w;o will not pledge themselves to support this demand. The prime object of the farraers' movement is to improve, in struct and elevate the farmer; and the best means for doing that is by establishing a good agricultural col lege and farni. This no doubt wil be one of the chief demands of the convention. and it should e done in a tone that will be heard and heeded. By the way, will not the News &' fi Courier giv-e us another of its ela bo rate articles to show what practica1l advantagze the Citadel cleem is to the State and people in return for the large sum appropriated to sup)portLt It is an institution to train youngfi men for a profession that they c"n 'i not, from the very nature of the cfse, pursue. The Superintendent in his report argues that the course is as thorough and comp)lcte as at Wes Point. But pray for what purpose? At West Point youing men are pr pared for a life callingz. But at the citadel they are prepare<d for a call ing they must give up as soon as te leave its walls. Asidle fromn thme p)hysical and mental training obtained there, which I would not depreciate. their educationl is niot onl of 0o 11 i practical benefit to them. but in some respects actually objectionable as unfitting them for work. I believe the money spent on the Citadel cant be very much more wisely sp)ent, and that it should be. B. 0. D). Sulmmary of the News Tihe' Pre'- iien tha no:i- ited John.i C.

But to be reader and an observer requires tih one begin to acquire these habits i early life. If you want a mant read much and think more. he have begun when a child.

The savage knows n better; the man who neglects to rea( knows nothing whatever of the plea ure and the profit of such work. Our great need is education. Ho ire we to obtain it? We are quit certain that a man who cannot rea and write, will soon become a cur osity, if we teach our children i early life to form the habit of rea' ing and observing. In every bool store of the land is found a countc or a shelf, than which is no greate factor in our civilization. That cour ter or shelf is the one con)tfainin juvenile books. What an extensiv ndustry has the making of books ito hildren become: The extensivt ess of the industry has grown wit he demand for books for young~ folks and the greater the sale of sue >oo0ks, the more hopeful may we h f our State. As soon as your chil s old enough to observe. buy it icture book. As soon as it ea end. keep it supplied with book uitable to its agze. Subscribe t ome suitable weekly or monthly ic iodical.
