PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY A T 4V WBERRY, S. C. Teachers' Column. Govern Yourself. A person that cannot control himself is unable to control others. This is a fact as true as the law of gravitation. The successful man in life, especially the one that has others under him, is the one that has self-control. For the teacher, this qualification is almost indispensable. There are teachers that could b2ar w iout seeming much provoked, the ist annoying conduct of pupils. There are others that would become almost wild with rage when some child be comes a little noisy. The first class would have a well disciplined school, respectful pupils, and encouraging progress. The second class would have a school without order, no discipline, disobedient pupils, general confusion. The pupils delight in worrying such a person. It is fun for them. Some txes they may be punished a little, but this they think comes in the natur - al course of events in their school. "It -s all right." they say. "We will try it once," they murmur to themselves. If you want to govern . your pupils, teacher, deal kindly and gently with them. Don't be cross, or become an "gry without anything to be gained by - it you would discourage this in the children, thei set them the example. Ve would ask those teachers that are ontinually scolding and abusing scholars to try the other method, and Syou will have better order, more loving pupils, and more satisfactory progress. There is no doubt that the children in many of our-publie schools are furn ' shed with a geography too quickly. Often do we find that they can scarce ly read before "Cornell's First Step" is given them. This is a mistake. The child has no Y use for any such book before he can spell, read and write tolerably well. SWhen we have begun the study of gegraphy,lletus begin it right. Cornell would have the young idea to begin -with the various masses of land, and ,with the different parts into which the mighty ocean is divided. What con ception can a child of eight years form of the immense continents of the world or of the mighty oceans that surround them? None whatever. When a child begins, let him begin at home. Let him proceed from the known to the unknown, not from the unknown to the-known' He should be taught first something about his own ooainty, its boundaries, ~incipal rivers, mineral and vegetable duction, &c. How ma.ny children there that have nearly completed Seix-curse i:n geography that cannot K. tell the bou.nda.ries of their own county! After-the county has been learned then p roceed to .'the state. Learn some Sthing about its geography, its boun daries, its counties, principal cities and town, productions,. &c. Then we can to the study of our country and this to the study of th.e world. We learn from the report of the State 9Superintendent of Education that 193, -43- children, white and colored at 'i.- -tended the free public schools of the state during the year 1887-88,. that the. eachers received from the public ool fund $381,837.31, or nearly $2.00 - each child that attended school, SI d that the average monthly pay to ers was $2.5.24 for 3.6 months. . -.- e superintendent reports, to use words, "not only more schools, re-nupils,. and more general atten-. inee, but more thoroughly qualified ihers, more earnest official work,"&c. It .3s gratifying to know that our cshools are in a healthy and prosperous .ndifion, and that the outlook is bet ter than ever before. The next Teachers' Association will -eet at Newberry on the 3rd Saturday irFebruary. We earnestly insist that -ery teacher strive to be present. Our ltmeeting was a good one, let our -.next be better.'- There is nothing to ~~revent Newberry County's having --oeof the best associations in the State. There is no doubt that we have the material; all we need is a little more enthusiasm. The following was taken from the Teacher and E.aminer: T lace me on Simuni's marble steep,j SW.1ere nothing, save the waves and I, Mtay h.ear our mutual murmurs sweep; There, swanlike, let me sing and die. ~'Parse the underscored words. For the Teachers' Column. I Reading. 5 n the Teachers' Column we notice a Inqestion on reading. As a teacher, we -ould be glad that some one would eus a good article on "Phonetic ,~Ieding." This method of reading is Ssomething that we have nev'er under jstood, hence our remarks: We believe Sthat spelling should alwvays precede Sreading. In our experience we have sometimes tried to teach the words as j-.,epresenting pictures. With inme Swrdwe could efTect something, but wih descriptives or assertives, we I re at a fearful loss, and would find ourselves wandering back to the "bea -ten track," viz., spelling-all will readily - dmit that spelling must be learned. t this onerous burden could be lifted, edly would we accept the plan; but hen the spelling must come where is the advantage of the change. Is read S terthan right spelling. Surely hen you find a new word you group athe.letters according to rule, and give the sounds of the combinations. If the word is long and intricate, perhaps a ~uspell and respell, before the sound is'satisfactory. Our notion about spell -nLg is somewhat diffierent to many teachers. We do not believe children are kept spelling near long enough, -exclusively spelling we mean, in their eayschoo-days. Again we believe; he easn hatwehave so many poor -- readers is that children have never been etaught to spell in the true sense of -he word. Running over a word with 11YI ing the diacritical mark, we do not recognize as spelling. Many persons, who profess to read, do not know how G to use the alphabet. Did you ever P know a pupil t*at could spell well and riot be able to read. Spelling and read ing are akin to each other, but spelling contributes the foundation. The rule, is to lay a fonndation before you build, consequently we say spelling should be taught first. J. A. L. IS Why a Kerosine Lamp Bursts. Girls as well as boys, need to under stand about kerosene explosions. A I great many fatal accidents happen from trying to pour a little kerosene on the fire to make it kindle better, also by pouring oil into a lamp while it is lighted. Most persons suppose that it is the kerosene itself which explodes, and that if they are very careful to keep the oil itself from being touched by the fire or the light, there will be no danger. But this is not so. If a can ora lamp is left about half full of kero sene oil the oil will dry up-that is, "evaporate"-a little and will form, by mingling with the air in the upper part, a very explosive gas. You can not see this gas any more than you can see air. But if it is disturbed and driven out, and a blaze reaches it, u there will be a terrible explosion, al though the blaze did not touch the oil. There are several other liquids used in a houses and workshops which will pro- a duce an explosive vapor in this way. ti Benzine is one; bnrning fluid is another, ? and naptha, alcohol, ether, -or chloro form, may do the same thing. In a New York workshop lately, there was a can of benzine, or gasoline, l standing on the floor. A boy sixteen years old lighted a cigarette, and v threw the burning match on the floor close to the can. He did .not dream there was any danger, because the liquid was corked up in the can. But there was a great explosion, and he was badly hurt. This seems very myste- h rious. The probability is that the can had been standing there a good while and a good deal oT vapor had formd, some of which had leaked out around the stopper and was hanging in a sort of invisible eloud over and around the can; and this cloud, when the match struck it, exploded. tl Suppose a girl tries to fill a kerosene d lam without first blowing it out. Of course the lamp is nearly empty or she g would not care to fill it. This empty space is filled with a cloud of explosive vapor arising from the oil in the lamp. h When she pushes the nozzle of the can into the lamp at the top, and begins to u pour, the oil, running into the lamp, fills the empty space and .pushes the cloud of explosive vapor out ; the vapor o is obliged to pour out over the edges of d the'iamp, at the top, into the room out- a side; of course it strikes against the a blazing wick which the girl is holding ~ down by one side. The blaze of the wick sets the invisible cloud of vapor tl afire, and there is an explosion which a ignites the oil and scatters it over herd clothes anL over the furniture of the room. This is the way in which a kero sene lamp bursts. The same thing may t< happen when a girl pours the oil over a fire in the range or stove, if there is a cloud of explosive vapor in the upper part of-the can, or if the stove is not hot enough to vaporize quickly some of the oil as it faIls. ~Remember, it is t. not the oil, but the invisible vapor that s] explodes. Taking care of the oil will 0 not protect you. There is no safety ex-t cept in the rule: Never pour oil on a lighted fire, or into a lighted lamp.- s Christian Union. h g Marry a Gentlemnan.n A writer in Women at Work advises girls if they would be happy in the b married life, to marry a gentleman. 0 He thus defines what he means by the b term: : A true gentleman is generous and b unselfish. He regards another's hap piness and welfare as well as his own. P You will see the trait running through a all his actions. A man who is a bear t at home among his sisters, and dis- g courteous to his mother, is just the man to avoid when you come to the s great question which is to be answered t] yes or no. A man may be ever so rustic in his c early surroundings, if he is a true gen tieman he will not bring a blush to n your cheek in any society by his ab-- t surd behavior. There is an instinctive politeness in- P herent in such a character, which I] everywhere commands respect and I makes its owner pass for whit he is- t one of nature's noblemen. Do not despair, girls ; there are such I men still in the world. You need not b all die old maids. But wait until the ' princes pass by. No harm in delay. You will not be apt to find him ine the ball room, and I know he will never be seen walking up from thee liquor saloon. Nor is he a championc billiard player.d He has not had time to become a "champion," for he has had too much ~ honest, earnest work to do in the world. ~ I have always observed that the a "champions" were seldom good for much else. O Be very wary in choosing, girls, when V so much is at stake. Do not mistake a:P passing fancy for undying love. Marry ing in haste rarely ends well. - g Pimples, Aches, Sores and Paing. f: When a huudred bottles of sarsapa- i: rila or other pretentious specifics fail a to eradicate in-born scrofula or conta gious blood poison, remienmber that B.

The author of "Afoot and Alone' ives an amusing account of an en unter with a man of an uncomrnun tive nature, in the pine woods o forth Carolina. Approaching Fayettsville, I cam pon an undoubted specimen of th forth Carolina clay-eater. I though would ask him questions fast enougl nd directly enough to force from hin positive answer of "yes" or "no"-: iiug difficult to attain in the pine *oods. "Is there any tavern on the road t< avettsville?" "I reckon you mout find one ef yoL >oked in the right place." "This is the direct road to Fayetts ille, I suppose?" "You'll be putty apt for ter git thar you keep agoin' straight ahead." "Do you sell much wood in Fayetts ille?" "I reckon this hyar jack thinks i as to haul aright smart chance." "Does wood bring a good pric< ow?" "It's jest accordin'. S- -ne fetche: iore, and some again not s , much." "Oak fetches more than pine I sup use?" "Can't say as it does, reg'lar. Mout ien again it moutn't. Green oak kin er needs a little light 'ood for to set ii >in'. You got to hev both." "I believe you Southerners burr reen wood most?" "Ain't perticklar. Every feller t< is likin' ". "Now, my friend, if you were callec pon in a court of law to give you pinion, you would declare upon oath, ould you not, that a hundred pounds green oak are heavier than a hun red pouds of dry pine? I am writing book on the sudject of wood, andJ cn endeavorin~g to acquire infornmatior iregard to it." He gave mne:one quick glance, and ien looked steadfastly ahead, saying Well, now, stranger, you kin jest sei own in your book, when you git t( iat place, that all the people of Norti ar'liny wuz sech derned fools you hac weigh it yerself." Always Behind.. [Country Gentleman.] To drive a team, for any length o me, in which one of the horses per sts in keeping a step behind th< ther is, to say the least, an unpleasan x to one's patier ce and good humor At one time I was the luckless pos ~ssor of just such a team. The of orse would always start first, an< etting one step in advance, would re iain there all day.- The fault wa: -ith the lagging one, as was prove< y driving different mates at the sid' each. And the habit of the hors< ad become too strong (the animal be ig well advanced in years) to leav< ope of any satisfactory reform. Since the lazy horse had to trave recisely the same number of miles ii day as the othcr, the vexing quer) at constantly arose was, what did h< iin in keeping behind ? One day, when musing on the horse' upidity, as I was inclined to term it 1e thought came that, after all, thi! eculiar trait was only a commnoi daracteristic of many human beings ad the thought has recurred to mn; und, and been strengthened man; mes since then. Only the other day it came wit] eculiar force, as I was passing a snui ts cottage on the border of the vil Lg'e. Its owner is a young man get ng a good salary, and with no one bu is wife and child to support. The lit e house is an inheritance left him b; is father, and is free from debt. S *ith an easy feeling of security he see o need of laying aside any part of hi rnings. "Spend as you go" was th iotto adopted by him at the time h Litered a home of his own. But iJ irrying out his plan he somehov ropped a little in the rear and has re iained there ever since. When th ionth's salary is placed in his handi e never has the pleasure of buyini nything with it, because it has alread; een spent. He pays cash for nothin -his present wants being satisfies rith purchases secured on the pros ects of the.conming month-while th ioney in hand goes to settle las ionth's debts. And as the debt ofte ets a little larger than the salary, h equently sufferslhe annoyance of be ig dunned for ai*tle more than hei ble to pay. Always hard up-n ioney on hand to save on pay-day ud all brought about through thi eedless, lagging way of keeping on ionth in arrears ! What pleasur diese debts attord is a secret to which ve no clew, nor the knack to guesm 'hey furnish no additional cmfor nd add nothing to the allowance fc ionthly expenditures. By getting tle start he could make the sam urchases as now, and still keep a litti re money on hand1. Yes, he couli ay even mxore for the purchasini oer of "spot'' eash is genuerall; reater than that of. credit, howeve ood. And should accident or sich es visit his home, or aniything occu >throw him out of enmploymnent, th .irplus wvould comec very handy ; an< eena afreedom from debt would be appy step in advance of a position c idebtedness near the verge of his credi When lin- i itzi tt,t writer had a neigbor who was chron ically behind in all his farm operations. He had in a solitary instance succeeded in completing a single portion of a season's work within a "gunshot"- of the proper time, the report of such a fact. would have startled the whole neighborhood. Yet he was by no means a lazy man. He did more work than the average among his neighbors. The only trouble lay in the doing of it out of season. Nor was he lacking in intelligence and general information. He was as well aware as was his severest critic that his work had "dropped a little behind,".as he expressed it, and was always prom ising himself a better state of affairs for the next year. The first time I ever say' this man he was in the hayfield mov i ug timothy, in August. He acknowledged the un seasonableness of the' work, and ex cused himself by saying that every thing had got a little behind with him that season. He had given July to the cultivation of his crops. His planting had been pushed into June of account May being crowded with other spring - work that could not be attended to in . season. r I felt sorry for the manii this be lated condition of his work, and so ex pressed myself at the time, for the hay he was cutting was but dead straws of woody fibre-even the seed had ripened and fallen to the ground. But several years of after-acquaintance with him showed but a repetition of the first. He had allowed neglected work to crowd him, until he had become ac customed to the sight, and had fallen into the habit of being late in every thing. As he was far past middle age, when I knew him, it is not probable that he has ever succeeded in getting out of his rut of tardiuess. The last time I ever saw him, by some strange coincidence, he was cutting timothy and it was in the month of August. Another instance, bearing rather on the advantage of keeping ahead than on the ill results of falling behind may be seen in the case of a well-to-do far ner, now in mind. This man keeps plenty of money on hand and seldom runs in debt. But one thing which he might keep up to better advantage lies in the matter of buying wood. The kind he uses sells at six dollars per cord when dry, and five dollars when green. He has the good sense to use the provi dent forethought, to buy the green and let it dry in his possession. Every year at the approach of winter be orders his ten cords of dry wood and pays his sixty- dollars. If he would once get a year's supply on hand and then buy the green wood, this annual expendi ture would drop to fifty dollars. It is true that ten dollars per year would add but a small- percentage to this man's income. But let it be invested annually in two cords more of wood to be placed gratuitously at the door of some needy home in his neighborhood, and it would not look small to the shi'vering inmates, and would add an immense percentaito his accredited acts of benevolence. - . Presidents' Names. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] It isa singular coincidence that there is only one exception to thie rule that candidates for president whose f names end in N are elected. Tilden is -the only exception. There have been a surprising number of presidents with the N on the termination of their .names-Washington, Jefferson, Madi - son, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, E Buchanan, Lincoln and Harrison. The i Republicans had a double chance, be . cause both of their candidates names Send with N, while the Democratic can didate for vice presidelmt, Thurman, could not overcome such heavy odds. The presidents elected -without an N at -the termination of t.heir names were not pitted against the unconquerable N. The president-elect, according to superstitious traditions, was lucky to have only one given name. 'This recalls the fact that fifteen of 'our presidents, and Harrison will make the sixteentb, have had only one given name. W~hy You Feel So weak and exhausted is because your blood is impure.
