NEWBERRY, S. C. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, 1SSG. A. C. JONES, EDITon. NEWBERRY HERALD & NEW IS PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY AT CEV~i::. .. Ir ONE YEAR, - - - 2.00 SIX MONTHS. - - 1.00 THREE MONTHS. - - 50 A. C. JONES & CO., Proprietors. THE PRESIDENT'S AIIRRIA( F. President Cleveland and Miss Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, N. Y.,. will be married by Rev. Dr. Sunder land, ex-Chaplain of the United States Senate, and a minister of thei Presbyterian Church, in the lue . Parlor of the Executive Mansion, on Wednesday, (to-day) June 'nd. at 7 o'clock p. m. They are to be mar ried on the same sp)ot where 3Iiss Nellie Grant and Mr. Sartoris stool. The time of the marriage was given out by Col. Lamont, President Cleve land's Private Secretary, on the re turn of Miss Folsom from Europe on the 27th uIt. This is the second President who has married during his term of ofbee. President Tyler being the first; and the ninth mar- y riage which has taken place at the White House. Miss Folsom is just 22 years of age, weij educated, ex- I ceedingly pretty and popular, the daughter of President Cleveland's old law partner, and the possessor of a nice little fortune left her by her i uncle, who died quite recently, and withal a true type of an American woman. We tender the President our congratulations, wishing him all the joy that position, success and a T loving wife can bring to a home. THE LES%ON TAU( HT. It is indeed an ill wind that blows j no one good. The recent floods have. A least should have done South Carolina and especially this section, t much good, in that .t has shown us the necessity of having our corn cribs i and smoke houses at home and not in the North and West. Of course it would be impossible& to state exactly, but we will venture to say that there is a very small ma jority of farmers in this county, or in South Carolina, yes, even in the TF whole South, who could stand being :, cut off from their pap and sugar la: teats in the North and West. South II 11 Carolina has taken the lead in in-e dependence of action, why cant she do it again ? We do not favor turning over the gov-ernment of the State altogether ~ to the lawyers, farmers or any otherr one class of her citizens, but we do 2(i think that it' the farmers would not loose so much of their valuable time in talking politics, attending politi cal conventions, or so-c alled farm ers' conventions, and spend their time in improving their farms, andN what leisure time they may find, in de reading up and posting themselves '. on the current events of the day. i so that when the time for election ui arrives they will know exactly what -4hey want and whom to elect to car- in ry out what they want, we feel p)retty (, safe in saying that they will find a i; big improvement in the course of the next twelve months. I.a It is natural to suppose that as the "i lawyers make the law their business. a they will know better how to enact "I to) laws than any other class; but of i& course it would not do to give them 1I entire control, as any one class be it composedi of the most honest mn, will work to their own interest, but still we do not think that the farm- er ers need be afraid of not getting their rights, as it is acknowledged, the x. world over, that the farmer-the matn -so produces from mother earth is c the most important factor in the world's history; and it is foly to think that any class wouli work~ to their disadvantage-they could not II afford it. As we said above, we hope th~e r--. cent freshets have proved to the a farmers that they have not got time ! to invest in politics, which, if they o would only investi gate they would find often -proves a very shaky in- I vestment even to the sharpest and. most skillful politician. We have as fine a country in Souith" Carolina as is to be found on the face of the earth, and all we wvant to I make it the richest and most pro perous is to raise our corn and wheat I-. and cattle at home, raise less cotton 0 at 8 cents a pound. and waste less :. time talking politics and attending .1 conven eionS.in Wonderful cures. e selbuig I)r.

Ti v Chronicle prints this as a matter of itferti:ilomi to the public at this .1 ii n:eriwe Murder". Intelligence was received here on1 Saturday of a shocking murder v' hich had been connaitted att D awkins, on the Sp)artantburg and Union Railroad on lTu-sday last,. the victim being a white man. Mr. Eli Free, and his murderer being a colored man named Jamies .Johniston. From a gentleman who wa.s preseut at the inquest, we gathered thte following facts: On Th ursd ay evening Mr. Free camne fromn Newberry Coiuty over to the Fairfield side, anud stopped at D)aw kiiis and commenced a conversation with somet( gentlemen who were stand tng ini Irout of one of the stores. While standing there, .Jim .Johnston, who lives about two hundred yards from the store, left his house and camne directly up to where Mr. Free was stan'ding. WhI1en just in fronitof him he' said. "What is that to you?" and with the question lunged his knife into the heart of M1r. Free. P ulba g it out hie was abotit to plunge it at second1 lmc into the throat when somei oneC presenit stop)ped him, and lie thena sai. "I will get a stick." Altu:t.t inst antly after the blow in the breast Mir. Free staggered a few steps and fel de:ad wtithlout speaking. See ing what he hadl done Johnston broke and r'un for' about two hundred yards, when some one called to him to halt. whtereupon) abe stotpped and commenc ed to cry. llis wife then came up near him and he again b)rok~e off in a run and has not been seen since. There were, we are informned, a half dozen men p)resent who witnessed the whole atfair. anti all agree in the statement that Mr. F"ree had said nothing, and that as a matter of fact thev doubt whether Mr. Free knew who killed him. Mr. F"ree was considerably under the influence of liquor, but had had no words with JTohnston. and had not seen him int. month. When Johnston came up lie was talking to the men who were present, and never hand an opportunity of talking to him. It will beC remembered~ that 3Mr. Free and the same ntegro had a difliculty last December. in which the negro was shzot twice with a shot gun. Mr. Ftr gav himnself up to the Sheriff atrteshooting. and was tried at the Feibruarv term of court for this cou nty ali was acquiitted. Since that time .Johtnston has threatened on several occasions to kill Mr. Free. and onI Thurls,ia evening he made goodi his threat. Au niquest was held on Fhriday eventintg.mandi:a verdict rendered in accordance with thet above facts. A ptarty started in pursuit of' Johin ston ton Fridlay, but did not find him and hie is stil at large. The follotwinlg descr iptin of JIohn ston hare i 'en sent around by the Shteriff. in t he hope of' having him captured. .Jim~ Johnston is a light gingrer cake colored man. about five feet eight inebes in hteight. weig: s about 100 poumis. walkcs rather stiff and slow; caused fromn a guxn-shot wound in the back. antd has a little whiskers on the side of his face. speaks ruther slowly. seemi inglyt an impediment in his speech. Wizen he lef't D)awkins lie was dressed in a light colored suit and wor' a small brim straw hat. lIe has a s:uali luimp (or mark on the right eve. WhIen last hisard of lie was going n1or'thward, anti it is thought tha t he wats mnakinag for Union, as lie had a brther liing in that countv'. It is01 one f the most brutal murders which htas ever been commuitted in hi;s part of the State. and no j)ains shotuld i.e st 'tred to bring the mun U;i 1. m r TE CIERS' DEFARTMENT. C: AnTHIf i IIhI-, f: F iTi1:. ri t I (annot. A good teacher will never take, ti when ihearing a recitation. "I cannot" from a pupil he k:iows, or has good reason to believe has studied his les son. Why tioes the pupil answer --I e don't know" when asked a question? Probably the first and greatest reason is his natural timidity. Even the pertest, the most forward child is naturally timid. iIe dreads to be laughed at. The most terrible wea pon, worse than the Russian knout t is lauIhter. Many a man would rather face a battery than a laugl, t and it is more terrible to a child than a man. The teacher that will laugh at a child for a mistake is a brute; one that will allow a class to do it is devoid of all sense of propriety, cour tesv and h umanity. Another reason why the pupil will say -I don't know" t is, the idea is not perfectly clear in his own mind. iIe has . kind of dreamy knowledge, an idea that the answer should be so and so, but is not really sure. and cannot put into s words the idea lie has. Ti'he answer is to him about like a tree secn in the early Inoruin g; the outline is t there, but no limbs or branches can be seen. Ile needs more light. Ai other reason is. too much --bookish ness." iIe dare not trust his own words, and he cannot think of' the language used in the book. ()h, if lie could only get hold of that hle could satisfy the teacher so easily. How shall we overcome this inclina- i: tion on the part of the pupil to say t '-I don't know? How shall we rem- v edy this evil, for it is an evil? t First, let the pupil know that you v believe in his ability to learn the b lesson, and to answer your question. f I said know. not think, nor imagine v you believe it. If the pupil has faith s in the idea that von believe in his i ability it will inspire him to risk the laugh, and do much toward enabling fV him to clear up his dreamy, morning light view of the subject. C Say to a boy that is trying to wheel a heavy load on a wheel-barrow : That's nothing. my boy. you can wheel that easy enough," and lie knows you titter a falsehood; he loses c faith in you and all you can say. On the other hand. if you had said : f "That's a pretty heavy load, my boy. ( shall I help you? iIe will look up r in his inspired strength, and reply :t "No. sir, I thank you, I can wheel it." He'll catch hold of the handles, and i stagger along, although it taxes his t strength to the uttermost. .IIe knows t~ you have told the truth, and, con sequently, believes you sympathizeb with hun in his struggle, and arep ready' to help if needi be. IIe has in- ( creased faith in you, and in his own strength; and tr'ying~ to do the work, does it. Another way to remedy the evil is, t vary your method of presenting the subject. the questi n you have asked. the point upoii wiiich you have ques- j tioned him. Go back a little and ask questions leading up to the lpoint you I irst asked about. The sun will have come a little nearer the horizon, anid the increased light will have ,nadev objects more distinct in outlines anrd C llings. Some teachers, in hope of In making the matter p)lainer, wil rep)eat the explanation. D)on't do it. T ry some other explaniation. some illus- 1 tration, anyvthinug rather than repeat ing. If your first one had been sufli :iently clear, adapted to his compre iension. lie would need no more, .he ni would have understoon the subject and answered readily. TLhe repeti tion of the exp)lanationi will not makeI it any cl?arer; lie n1eeds and musxt have something different. Seldom. if ever, tell the correct answer. There is no training, no mental growth in telling. SOtOMON SIA. I Wr\iting descriptions of objects i ne of the best means of teachin~ hildren something about comnposi-1 tio. They are generally slow at learning to compose. and not only children, but very few men ever be ome very eflicient or ready writers. In order to make progress in this di rection it is necessary that it be be gun at an early age. A child should ommence forming sentences as soon s le can make the letters. For a upil, a young one, to come to the teacher and recite his reading or spell ing lesson is not suficient. A con tined rep)etition of this from time to time, and from day to day. causes, s a consequence. a distaste for books. It is necessary to break the monotony of the pupils work, or his progress will not be rapid or satisfac tory. Most children delight to use a slate and p)encil, and in this they should be encourag~ed. A fter they: have rcitedl their lessons, if they have a slate and pencil, it would he well for the teacher to giv'e thiem some object to write a description of. 'heir first attempts may be. and will be very poor, but p)rogress will be ade from day to day. Of course they must have help from the teacher continually, and will be of consider able annoyance, but this must be ii on.

The most fashionable gar-1 ment for Spring will be the One Button Cutaway, it is a perfect fitting garment, and lays closely to the figure, showing the form. I have these suits made in the celebrated patent square shoulder and for get up and trimming, will corn pare with any custom garment. The goods these suits are made from are im ported whip-cord, cork-screws, and the inest cheviots of the latest patterns and colors. In sack suits you will find the same grade of goods, and the sacks are cut square and cutaway. I would men-* tion here that. for sack suits the cheviots will take the lead this Spring, and the finish of these sacks with the swell. and saddle seams make them very at tractive, in fact they mrust be seen to be appreciated. My stock of Stiff Hats for Spring has neyer been surpassed in this city. They are very light in weight in order to be comfortable for hot weather.
