NEWBERRY, S. C. - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 28, 1886. A. C. JONES, EDIToR. NEWBERPY HERALD & NEWS - !S PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AT NEWBERICY, S. C. ONE YEAR, - - - $2.00 SIX MONTHS, - - 1.00 THREE MONTHS, - - 50 A. C. JONES & CO., Proprietors. IN FAVOR OF THEM. We believe that railroads do as much to build up a towr or city as any enterprise the people can invest their money in, when judiciously expend ed. We believe further, that New befry should have another competing %N,ine to give her people lower rates of freight and to enhance the value of her real estate. We know of no county in better position to vote a subscription for the building of a new railroad; having no railroad or special tax, but we think she should consider well the inducements offered by the friends of all who are offering us indu2ements to select their route before deciding which we shall take. The voters of Nos. 1 and 8 town ships seem to be very much in favor of giving $50,000 to build the Narrow Gauge, and no one can deny their right to vote this or a larger amount if they desire to do so, but will it pay them to do it? They complain that their freights are too high, and say that they are anxious to be freed from the grasp of the Clyde Syndi cate. Will the Narrow Gauge do this? We think not. The Clydes are on the east and west of them. and by buying up their stock of $101, 000, can have entire control of them, and we confess we can't see how this road can benefit us on this side of Saluda; besides, the Clydes encour age the building of this road. and are fighting the Columbia, Newberry and Laurens; this we think significant. If you will read the article on the first page from the Augusta Evening News, you will find the milk in the cocoan-ut, and that is, that this road, i Jllhe grand system of Narrow Gauge roads now in contemplation, hav-e but one purpose, and that is to fill the coffers of the business men of Augusta. We want a road that will fill the coffers of the peop)le of New berry County. mat we believe ~that Ceaba Newberry and Laurens will do this; and Newberry is only called upon to subscribe one-eighith of the amount she proposes to give the Narrow Gauge, viz: five thou sand dollars. Will it not pay better to spend $5,000 than $50,000? We believe that it will be better to re main as we are than to accept the Narrow Gauge as a free gift PitIA RlY FOR ALL OFFICERS. -We have read several communica tions which have appeared in the papers published in this Congres sional District, advocating tfle pri sedry plan for nominating candidates for Congress, aud find that there is a strong sentiment among the peop)le to nominate all officers-State, County, Judicial and Congressional by this plan. We believe that it would give better satisfaction than the convention; but it will be neces sary to amend the constitution of the Democratic party of the State, before can vote directly for the nomina tion of candidates for State, Con -gressional or Judicial offices, and this cannot be done until the State convention meets. The counties *may elect delegates to the convention by primary, but this will necessitate the calling of a county convention to determine wLther the primary or the convention lan shall be adopted in electing delegates to the State. Congressional and Judicial conven tions. Therefore, if Newberry pre fers to elect delegates by primary. let the county executive committee call a conventton for the purpose of submitting it for adoption. and recomn med to the State convention, the adoption of this or a direct vote by primary, for the nomination of all officers in future. THlE DITII (GF F-ATHER RYAx In the death of Father Ry an, the Poet Priest, the South has lost one of her truest and most devoted sonls; twas he who penned those beautiful words entitled "The Sword of Robert Lee." "Out of its seabhard? never hland Waved sword from stain so free No purer sword led brve band, Nor braver bled for a briginer land, Nor brighter land had ai cauise so grau. ANor ausea chief like L-:e The private subscriptiorns by Au gusta to the Narrow Gauge, we be lieve amounts to about #53,000, and - -that of Edgefield county to $60.000 to build the road from Augusta .to Saluda River. We have no guaran tee that all of this will be collected, but if Townships 1 and - vQr 850, 000, there is no donbt abjort outta payers having to pay it. The Narrow G3auge looks very well frm an Anu<ma standpoint. We wonder if th: Farmers' Con vention will ask that all the propert; of the State be returned at its ful taxabie value? W,e are told tha there is a large amou: p o1ropfrt real and personal, in te tate, 0 which no taxes are pail. We wonder if thev will ask t1l" tlie appropriations for the C::i. Mi itary and Citadel Acade y e di continued until the State is bette able to spend her money on exper1 ments and uxurics? We wonder whether they will i) abile to reduce the Ievv as Muell a one mill? We wonder wi1r Mr. Tillman wi cget the money to establish an Agr cultural College without incresin the tax burden? We wonder if they will expres their disapproval of the Blair !>il and the strikes? We wonder if they will give er couragement to the Granges and AL ricultural Societies a:ui Department We wonder it they will effect Permai.ent organization for the pr motion of agriculture- We shal see. The people of Newberry coitplaw that their taxes are high. at the sam time Toxiuships 1 and 8 talk of gi ina >,50000 to the Narrow Gauge which will increase thicr taxes mor than two mills to pay the interes alone, and it seems a heavy tax t pay to carry our business to A ngust'. It may pay Newberrv to vote :5, 000 for the Narrow Gauge Road. bu we confess we can't see it. Sumary of the Ne-ws. szoUTII CAROLINA.

EDITOn. ome time ago wc spoke of the foo that night be accom-p,ishcd by forming a readin circ for the im provement and entertainment o teachers. We desire, in this issue. tc r C! attention to Herbert Spencer's -,,reat work oin education. We know of no recent book that every teachei eand every parent ought to read mor( 5 CarefUlly than this work. In many parts of 'Mr. Spencer's philosophica I system we fnd many dangerous doc - trines; but, in this book, the viewE presented are correct and the defect. ofthe old system of teaching very orcibly shown. The book is neatl3 printed by the Messrs. Appleton al 81.50 per copy, or it may be bought Ln pamphlet form in Humboldt Li brary Series for 15 cents. The pric( ? is not a consideration. We advis( our teachers to buy this book at once .gd read it with the desire to be ben I efited. BeJow, an extract is giver which may. in somen measure, servc as a sample of the style, &c. "The particulars first. and then thl generalization. is the new method, n1 the Battersea School Reports remark which, though 'the reverse of thc method usually followed, which con sists in giving the pupil the rule first,' is yat proved by experience tc be the right one. Rule-teachinr iE -iow condemned as imparting a mere. t ly empirical knowledge-as pro ducing an appearance of understand ing without the reality. To give the net product of inquiry, without the inquiry that leads to it, is found tc 1 be both enervating and inefficient. General truths, to be of due and permanent use,' must be earned. --EasV come easy go" is a saVing a' applicable to knowledge as to wealth. While rules, lying isolated in the - Iind--not joined toi ts,other contentz as outgrowths from them-are con tinually forgotten, the principleu which those rules express piecemeal - become, when once reached by the understanding. end uring possessions. While tihe rule-taught youth is at se. when beyond his rules, the vouth in structed in principles solves a new case as readily as an old one. Be tween a mind of rules and a mind ol prin-ciples there exists a diflerenc such as that between a confuised heap of materials and the same materials -orgzaniz.d into a comp)lete whole, with all its parts bound together. Of which types this last has not oniy the advantage that its constituent p)arts are better retained, but tie muchi greater advantage, that it form5 an eflicient agent for inquiry, for ini (dependent thought, for discovery enods for which the first is useless. Nor let it be suipposedl that this is simile only :it is the literal truth. T he union of facts into generaliza tions5 is the organization of knowl ;edge, *vhether considered as an ob) jective phenomenon or a subjective one; and the mental grasp) may b measured by the extent to which tis organization is carried. F-romn the substitution of principles for rules, and tihe necessarily co-ordi nate practice of leaving abstractions untaughit until the mindl has been fa mniliarized with the facts from which they are abstracted. has resulted the p)ostponemnent of some once early studies to a late period. This is ex empled in the abandonment of that intensely stup)id custom, the teach ing of grammar' to children. As M. MIarcel says: 'It may without hiesi tation be aflirmned that grammar is not the stepping-stone, but the finish ingr instrument.' As Mr. WysE argues: 'Gramnmar and syntax are coletion of laws andl rules. Rules are gathleredi fromn prac-tice; they ar~ the rsults of induction to which we comel by\ long observation andl coin prison of facts. It is. in fine, the( scice, the philosophy of language. In following tile pro~cess of nature, nieithler individuals nor nations ever arriv e at the science firs.t. A Ian guage is spoken, and poetry written, Imany y-ears before either a grainmarn -or prosody is even thought of. Men did not wait till Aristotle had con structed hiLs logic, to reason. In short, as grammar was made af ter languaige ; so ought it to be taught aftter langumage ; aim inference whiebh al who recognize the relationship between ' the evolution of the race anid of the individual will see to be unavible. Ofne mmpjractices that have grown up~ d (uring the decline of' these obh ones. the most imp)ortatnt i th 'most systematic culture of the - owr of observation. After long ages of blindness men nre ait last seei'ng thlat the spontaneous activity -of theo ob.serving faicuilies in child ren: -has a mieaning andi a use. What was once thiol uht mere purposeless action, or play, or mlischlief, as the caise migh,t be. is now recogniizedl as the process of acquiirinlg a knowledge on wh'ich all after knowledge is based. Hen>ce the well-conceived lbut ill-con ducted system of o)bjet1-1..'s'/s. The say'ingu of Bacon, that phiysics is the mot her of scieiices, has come to have a mein'ei' in education. Without an accur ate acquaintance with the visible and tangible properties of erroneous, our inferences fallacious, and our operations unsuccessful. 'The education of the senses neg lected, all after-education partakes I of a drowsiness. a haziness. an insuf ficiency which it is impossible to cure. Indeed. if we consi.er I we shall find that exhaustive ohserva tion is an element in all great sUIC cess. It is not to artists. naturalisS-. and men of science oily that it is needful; it is not oniv that the skill ful Plhysician depends on it for the correctness oL !Is dia-nosIS. and that to the good engineer it is so impor tant that some years in the workshop - are prescribed for lm; but we may see that the philosopler also is fun dainentally one who o.s relation I ships of things which others had overlooked, and th'lat thle poet, too, is one who sees the fine facts in nature which all recognize when pointed out. - but did not before remark. Nothing requires more to be insisted on than that vivid and complete impressions are all essential. No sound fabric of wisdom11 can b. wovenl out *of a rotten raw material. While the old metiods of present ing truths in the abstract has been falling out of use, there has been a correspondingI ar oion of the new method of presenting them in the concrete. The rudimentarv facts of exact science are now being learned by direct intuition. as textures, and tastes. and colors are learned. Em ploying the ball-frame -or Orst lessons - in arithmetic exemplifies this. It is well illustrated, too, in 'rofessor De - Morgan's mode of explaining the decimal notation. M. 'Marcel. right lv repidiating the old system of tables. teaches weia-hts and measures by referring to the actual yard and foot, pound and ounce. gallon and quart. and lets the discovery of their relationships be experimental. The use of geographical models and models of regular bodies. etc., as in troductory to geographiy an(I geoe try respectively, are facts of the same class. Manifestly a common trait of these methods is that they carry each child's mind throngh a process like that which the mind of humanity at large has gone through. The truths of number. of form. of relationship in position. were all originallyI drawn - from objects; an<i to present these truths to the child in the concrete is to iet him learn them as the race learned thcm. By and by, perhapis, it will he seeni that heC cannot possIi! learn them in any other way; for that if lie is miade to rep)eat them as abstractions. tIhe abstractions can have no meaning for him until he finds that they are si mplv statements of what lie intuitively dliscerns. But of all the changes taking place, - the most significant is the growing dlesire to make the acquirement of knowledge pleasurable rather than p)ainful-a desire based on the more or less (distinct perception that at each age the intellectual actioni which a chili likes is a healthful one for it, and conversely:.. Therc is a spread ing opinion that the rise of an appe tite for any kind of knowledge im plIies that the unufolding mind has become fit to assimi!ate it. and needs it for the purposes of growth, and that on the other hand. the d isenst felt toward any kind (f knowledge is a sign either that it is p)remnatuirely presented, or that it is lresented in an indig~estible form. I hence the ef fect to make ear.y education amusing andl all education interesting. Hence the lecture on the valuie of play. Hence the defence of nursery rhymes and fairy tales. Daily we more and more con form our plar.s to juvenile opinion. D)oes the child like this or that kind of teaching? doces lie take to it? we constantly ask. -il is natu ral desire of variety should he in dulged,' says 31. MIarcel; 'and the gratification of his curiosityv should be combined with his improvement. 'Lessons,' lie again remarked. 'should cease before the child evinces signs of weariness.' And so with later education. Short breaks dui -ring school-hours, excursions into the country. amusing lectures cho ral songs--in these and many like traits tile change may be (liscerned. -Asceticism is disappearing~ ouit of ed ucation as out otf li fe. andi the usual test of political legisla.on-its tein deney to hpromoi(te happiness-is be innto be. in a great degree. the test of leg,islation fur the school and the nursery.

A certain amount of emigration is to be expected. in all countries there are some peoleC who. inspired, some by love of travel, some by the desire to get awfy from their Iiative ctntry, where. tnlortunately, often a man's Iood qualities are less ap preciated than (l-sewhere, and some for health, cut looSC from their early associntins and eat their lot with stran-ers.

This remedy can unly be 1ound1 inl the develol) ment of a wide range of employmjents that will allord to every young man the opportunity Which so many of them are seeking in the West. Un til recently the young men of the South had very few induce-ments from a business point of view to remain in that section; the professions and farming and 'keeping store" were the; chief occupations. These three were all over-crowded. There were more doctors than were needed and the abundance of* lawyers (id not succeed in stirring up enough strife to keep thema all employed; farming olffered but few attractions and, be sides, required considerable money to begin on, an.1 the iercantile busi ness was so crowded that there was but little room for any new comers. In this condition of affairs hundreds' of thousands of* men went West and N sorth eeki% eniployment for which the le in en:' a ,oe. During the last live or six vears a great cbange has been inaugurated, but its efiect has thus far been felt in only cLrtain parts of the South. A few years moore andi its influence will reach every section of the whole South. W iti the development of the industrial interests ol the South there have been op'ened up new avenues of employment and thiousandls who otherwise would have been compelled by force of cireumstances to seek a living elsewhere, have found profit able and honorable emplloym3en t in their own cou ntry. It is not alone the unskilled labor for which a new market has becn created. but for skilled labor, comm iand ing high pay, there is a rapidly .groing'i demandI. The operation of the vast railroad interests of the South. the construc tion of new ro)aus. the opening of mines and the builinhg and manage ment of every variety of' imanufactur iigterprises. have all coimbined to open to the ising generation of the South oipportunhities for' work that were scarcely dreaimed of' a dozen years ago, ranging fr-om that of' the day la borer to the highest and most liber al p)ositionis of trust and honor. T1he growth in I: e demand for labor has also p)rov'ed of gr'eat benefit to the farming interests. esp)ecially in the iiimed iate nieighb1 orhuood of thme dozens of thirivig. popouos cities that hamve come inito beCi ng thbrou. the influnenmce of' manu f :'cturers.
