PLLLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT NIWBERRJ?Y, S. C. Teachers' Column. The Teacher Should Study. In order to be successful in any pro- 1 fcssion or undertaking there must be an untiring ef ',rt to attain to something high;;r. There is no spot for a resting place: no point at which we can stop and say our work is done, that we are perfect. The lawyer, having completed his course at a law school, is not vet a mas ter of law. He has years of hard work k before he is thorough in his profession. The minister, with his course in theo logy completed, is not: yet acquainted fu-!th Holy Writ. He is yet a t child, si; to speak, in the work. The teacher, armed with his first < grade certificate, has only begun to < iearn, and is entirely ignorant of the i foundation of successful instruction. ' Without study, there is for this latter r class. such a thing as becoming ignor- i ant by experience. We often hear a s teacher highly rt commended because t he has been engaged in teaching a i number of years. This is no test as to f his eficiency, for the oidest teacher is not nlways the best. It would be bet- < ter to risk a young person with zeal and i earnestness and a desire to learn and i improve than one with years of ex- 1 pcriencee witliout any progress about i him. A live teacher will study hik text books, know them from beginning to end, and be able to answer any ques- t tion that may arise during a recitation. A dead one will be continually puzzled i to answer the simplest questions. 1 The teachers should study not only c text books, but also the method given I by the best educators. We can profit E from the hard and incessant work of others. We can learn from books and i educational journals the best and true I methods of teaching as given by our < best men and women. We have the I opportunity and why not take advan tage of it? With all the means before us then, if we fail it is our own fault. We can blame no one else. . The teacher who improves himself, 1 and does not think that he is already r perfect wilt always be in demand. Teaching Addition. I have had considerable trouble in teaching simple addition to children who have first been taught in other schools. They seem . determined to little trouble, however, in teaching numbers to little ones whom I have 1 jtaught from the beginning of their school-days. This is my way of teach ing numbers to beginners: I first teach ~~hem to make all the, figures, I then teach them to add from 1 to 10, ar ranging the figures in various ways, and at the same time 'ising familiar objects for the counting. I often re quire them to count np their own little property, for exam'ple, their chickens, or other pets. After teaching them to add together readily the numbers below 12, I teach them this: If 2 and 2 make 4, 12 and 2 make 14, 22 and 2 make 24, 32 and 2 make 34, and so on, reasoning all the time from their knowledge that 2~ and 2 make 4; if 4 and 4 make 8, 14 and 4 make Is, 24 and 4 make 28, 34 and 4 make 38, all the time reasoning from the fact that 4 and 4 make S. I soon ~begin to add higher numbers: thus 6 .and 63 mnake12,;16 and 6 make 22,:?$ and 6 make 32. 7 -nd 7 make 14, 17 and 7 ;27anud 7 :nake 34, and so on to aill the higher numbers. If 8 and S ma ke 16, 18 and 8 must make 26, 28 and 8 must make 36, 3S and 8 must make 46 and so on, going to a number expressed by 6 on the right each time. If 9 and 9 nik 18. 19 and 9 must make 28, 29 and 9 must make 38, 39 and 9 must ma'ke 48, 49 and 9 must make .38, going .rach time to a number expressed by 8 on the right hand side. I have for six veurs pursued this method of teaching 'numbers, and I thing it is asuccess. SARAH L. WALTERS. Leesbury, Texas. Reading or spenling First ? Many teachers think that the child should know the alphabet, and be able to spell before he commences reading. Others think that he should have his reader first. We would be glad if some one, an advooate of either method, would inform us through the column which is best and why. This is a ques tion of no little importance. Several days ago we met two gentle men traveling in the interest of Watts & Adams' Maps of South Carolina. They are the best we have yet seen and it would be well , orn every teacher to have one in his school room. A good teacher can take a map and teach be ginners more about geography in three mjonths than lie could wvith a dry text book in six. Every teacher should strive to hnve a map of South Carolina in the school. No One K iows. How "to Work Like a Iieav~er. How these damis are built-whether one. lans~ and "bse the job," allot ti wor and directing by whom and ho~w it is to be done; or wvhether ech works under its own direction and implsei, a commlon instinct giving a comm:n.n result: whether they co-operate or work independently: how they be zin and how they finish-is believed to be unknown. The investigation of this interesting qunestion is hedged about with difficulties. Beavers 'work only at night, accomplishin~g three times ~more during a (lark rainy night than under the light of a full moonl. It seems as though with dairkness came a sense of p'ersonal security whieh en abled them to devote every energry to te work in hand. A ver's Sarsaparnilla is prescribed and rommended by eminent physicians, and is taken wvith perfec~t safety by old and'~ ymone. Its elez'nsintr and vitaliz in det are sure and speeuy. and it s uniiversally conceded to be the most effective of all blood puritiers. / Learning to Read. [From the Standard.] Two things are necessary in learn ng to read ; these are how to read, and vhat to read. The former, in various .rays, receives a good deal of atten ion. Does the latter? In school or in lie family do children or young peo >le learn to read in a way to include il that should be meant in that fami iar phrase? Elocutionists assume to each how to read. Who teaches what o read? Is it not the truth that, in ;eneral, this is a branch of education vhich is pretty much left to tike care if itself, amidst chances and perils of he time? This matter is the more serious in -iew of the fact, not only, that every >ody reads, but also that there is every ort of thing to be read. It would >e difficult to name any species of iterature, from the very good to he very bad, which may not >e found somewhere in the immense utfiow from the press of this marvel >us age. The amount of production, i this kind, is most amiazing. In no lepartiment of human industry is there nore of activity, or the produet more mmense. One may find in tables of tatistics figures to give some idea of he world's product in agricultare, in nanufactures, in the mechanic arts. So ar as we are aware, no attempt has -et been made to measure the amount >f literary product, either in books, in nagazine, in newspapers, or in that ionIdescript sort which defies pescrip ion. One can scarely turn himself ound without finding "something to ead." . You go to church and it lies in -our pew. You try to run away from 11 reading as from all business, and he book-agent finds you on the ears. ou try the privacy of home and it eets you on the door-step. You flee o the mountains and the newsboy vith his daily paper follows you there. f you were to go to sea in a diving eli, we almost prophecy that a "news tand," with its snpply of papers and rashy novels, would be found at the otton of the ocean. Is it wise for >ne to leave himself at the mercy of all his infinite miscellany ; his mind to >ecome as chaotic, and his knowledge ! much a jumble of good and bad, vorthless and worthy? This is a matter of especial impor ance to young people, and it is with eference to them that we are in the nain writing this article. The young )erson, desirous of acting rightly in this natter, may set out with one fact as a eliable one, namely, that there is reat abundance of good reading. .ngland and America have reason to >e proud of their literature, alike for its uperiority simply as such, and for its holesomeness in every best point of ~iew. In every department of litera ure, and in all those varieties which end to enliven one's reading, to quick mn intelligence, to broaden the literary ympathy, and to cultivate what is >est in one's mind and heart, the lite ature of the English-speaking nations s unequaled. What we may say of ~his cannot be said of the French, the 'erman, the Italian, in fact any other anguage or literature whatsoever. 'rom the time when England began to iave a literature until now, from Chau er to Tennyson and Longfellow, from Philip Sidney to Irving, from Jeremy aylor to Diddon or MacLaren, the ~enturies have been enriched by an thosing; which combines 'all'that is nost noble in manly and Christian ~haracter. Why should a young Amer can "fatten on garbage" with such supply of choicest intellectual viands ? hy consent to be emasculated in in ~ellect and morals by poisonous trash ni literature, when it is so easy to be ell read and cultured in all that is >est ? Then it 5s to be borne in mind that hie reading habit does almost more than mything else to form alike the mind and the character. If there be no read ng habit at all, that itself is bad mough. Yet, .th-ere is even in that ase a certain ground for encourage rnent, since in the case of such a per on, should a taste for reading some lay be created, there is at least a fair ield for that which is good in a mind which is thus not as yet preoccupied with the bad. Upon the other hand, a vitiated habit in anything else, and it is in this particular worse than any ther that it is so little in a way to be :ounteracted by better intluences. The inveterate novel-reader can even fix the ttention upon only that which appeals to the imagination, miuch less become ntrested in it. And all that doc.sso ippeal is for that reason alone reveled in. A meal of French slops is for such one just as palatable as a wholesome English dish ; Zola is as welcome as Ihackeray or Irving ; all that is sought s excitement, and whatever "comes bo" that "net" is sure to be "fish." Besides, to be able to know and to value i good book, or to detect and detest a ad one, is a real accomplishment. In hese days a person of intelligence should be ashamed not to have an in elligent estimate of what is best in the literature of his own language. He should be as unwilling not to know wlcha to read, as not to know how to read. We are quite sure that what we are here saying will appeal to very many who are charged with the care of young people, either their own children, or those of others. The reading that comes into the family is a matter of as much consequence as almost anything else that can be named. Too munch restriction must perhaps, be avoided: for iothing inl this connection cani well be worse than that practice of secret reading in books and papers known to be disapproved by parents or teachers, into wvhich young people may be driven by a surveillance too severe. The dishonesty of the thing is bad in it self, while such secrecy is an open door of opportunity for all that is bad and worst. There should be perfect frank ness, and a good undlerstanding, all round,. in these muatters, and it will facilita te this if some margin of freedom be allowed in the direction of that more imaginative literaltire which it so natural for young people to love. But there are ways in which there may be judicious guidance so managed as not to alienate and still to achieve its end. Let the family table be supplied with books wvhich are both attractive and good. Let care be exercised as to th kiin of perionca literature which finds its way to the same table. Let it not be assumed that any kind of a secular paper is sure to be good which s advocates one's own polities, nor any C sort of a religious weekly sufficient which carries the denominational flag , in its head-lines. Above all, shut the door against the Sunday paper. There e is one remedy for the enormous mis- t chiefs coming in the train of this per- t nicious change in American journal- R ism ; that is, for the families in which "the Sabbath of the Lord is a delight and honorable," to refuse all dealings with that which so surely tends to a make it neitlr the one nor the other, a and indeed to destroy it altogether. - - _ - -- ~0 TO SECURE CO-OPERATION. Iowa Farmers Seeking to Dispente with 31iddlemen. [From the New York Times.] b Di.s MoINEs, IowA, January 10.-At the mass meeting of the Iowa Farmers' - Alliance held here to-day for the nur- Su pose of discussing the extension of the system of co-operative purchasing of supplies, which is now practiced to a Tl limited extent in Western Iowa, vari ous members were called upon to give experiences in local alliances, and:the results of their buying and selling N varied with the number of delegates. 18 The local alliances in many parts of up the State carry on a systematic dealing in groceries, tiour, and agricultural im- ap pleinents, buying of the jobbing houses de or manufacturers and selling to the es; farmers direct, thus securing reduced ac rates. The present loose organization of the alliance makes it impossible to tic properly guard the commercial trans- pr actions, and this sometimes leads to pa difficulty in securing goods. Other dealers in goods coihine and refuse to Al do business with houses that sell direct lv to farmers at wholesale, and thus La eut otY the profits to jobbers and retail Ct dealers. A gentleman from Dakota in told about the operation of the purchas- K ing system in that Territory. He said in they had orgranized four year.s ago .18 without, capital and that it proved a Th failure. They then incorporated with a th capital stock of 20,000 in shares of $i0 oil each. They made their purchases for br county organ.zations, and wagons were as wantedl. B~y ha:ving a county organiza- be tion the clerical work is reduced and ca shipments are more easily effected than so through the local organization. They in buy the coal direct from the mines, re( secures estimates on agricultural irmple- po ments, and make contracts for such m implements for five years for the entire re Territory. They build their own wagons to do their own insurance, insure their co own buildings, and their own lives. fa They pay 10 per cent on the capital m stock, and the organization had been sp a success. Of late they had thought it best to make it something of a secret of organization, and had found it a good thing. tie Secretary Augustt Post and others ad thought it would be well to adopt some hi such plan here, though he thought the profits could not be made as in Dakota. ac There wasa general feeling among the m delegates in favor of asecret iork, or rather a private work in the alliance, ac and the pledging of all members not to bi divulge the proceedings to outsiders and not to tell the prices they paid for. goods. A thorough reorganization is needed. The State dues will have to be A raised in order to have more capital to p pay those engaged in the work.L Some of the memnbers thought this at would be objectionable, but it seemed to of be necessary. A comniittee wvas appoin-. ted which during the afternoon made a report recommending that this conven- tl ion authorize and instruct the execu- p tive committee to call a delegate conven- p tion, at the earliest date possible, of onesi representative from each alliance, w~ith hi full power to adopt a plan favoring a t State purchasing agent to act for the tt subordinate agencies, and the subordi nate agency in reach of every local alli- mn ance. So that the farmers of Iowa will y renew their efforts of fourteen years ago L to eliminate the middlemen from the business economy of the State. Hlow to Write a Ge id Letter. [Professor A. S. Hill, in Hlarper's Maga- T zine.] di A letter, whatever its faults of ex- w pression, is a good oiie if it makes the a~ reader feel that the wvriter is speaking bi with the pen out of the fulness of the 0' heart, not composing something to be E read. When we hear that Lady Duff Gordon said, "I never could write a r( good letter, and unless I gallop as hard 0] as I can, and doii't stop to think, I can say nothing, so all is confused and c uncorrected," we feel sure that her -ir letters are agreeable reading. When si Swift writes~to Lord Batburst, "I swear your lordship is. the first person ~ alive that made me lean on my elbow ~ while writing to hini, and by conse quence this will be the worst letter I ever writ," we expect to finid Swift in p his correspondence. When, on the r other hand, we are told that Lord e' Orrery, Swift's "noble biographer," a made transcripts of his letters, "f;l- 8 lowing regular rules of composition," - "adding chapter and verse for model, and p)ointinig out the elegance of his wn conceits," we are glad that Lord Orrery does not write to us. When we i read that the letters of Mr. Day-the a man who talked like his own Sand- ~ *ford and Mefrton.-were writ ten as fast I as his pen could move, and neverthee less are so rhetorical as "to give the idea o,f their being comrposed with great care," we are thankful that we are not obliged to read them. -- t To Assist Nature i In restoring diseasedh or wasted tissue is all that any medicine can (do. In puml monary affections, such as Colds, Bron- ~b chitis, and Consumption, the imucous R membrane first becomes intiamed, then je accumulations form in the air-cells of the lungs, followed by tuibercles, and, finally, destruction of the tissue. It is ai plain. therefore, that, until the hacking li cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes can have no opportuiiity to heal.

He went. ;o office in 1868, and out of office in 2, being succeeded by one Smith. iis action was brought in 1885, nearly - rteen years after Lake went out of ice. The complaint alleges various ! ,aches of the bond. First, that Lake, clerk, received large sumts of moley longing to different parties in the ;es of H ill vs Thompson and Ta1oImp a vs. Thompson, which money, then his hands officially, he did not, as uired by law, from time to time re-: rt to the Court; second, that said am ney was not deposited in bank as " uired by law; third, that he failed and pay it to his successor in office ac rding to law; fourth, that said Lake led and still refuses to pay over the mey in question to the parties re actively entitled thereto. Lake denied the material allegations! the breaches, and made defence: 1st. That the attorneys for the par s in interest prevented him by their vice from paying over the money to sa s successor, Smith. 2d. That the causes of action did not no crue within six years before coni- u encereat of the action. S 3d. That the causes of action did not Ca crue within ten years before suit Bi ought. do 4th. That there is another action nding on the same subject matter. 2e sureties made the same defence. Po iso, in addition thereto, that the J' aintiff in 1868 accepted a bond from ,ke as clerk, with one Crooks as rety, and thereb$"caused the release r the sureties on the first bond. The case was tried by the Circuit idge and ajury. The jury found for ser e sureties; but against Lake, the to' incipal obligor, they found for the aintiff the penalty of the bond. Both thr les appealed, Lake because be was hio *ld liable, and the plaintiff, because an e sureties were not also included in a e verdict against the principal.
