THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THURSDAY, SEPTMHER 11,1879 TUB PKK E OP tOTTOR. The suroet and Mil'eat iodicationa all point to in early rise in the price of cot ton The reserve supply of cotton was exhausted before the present crop com menced to reach market; the present crop, it has already been ascertained, will not be as larjre as usual ; the finan cial depression has come to a close, aod there has set in a tide of renewed confi dence and activity, enterprise and busi- ness prosperity; the price of almost every other artial* of commerce ts either ad- vmcitro or showing a tendency to ad vance ; the highest authorities on the subject are predicting an advance in the price of cotton ; and lastly all factors are ullrrinj tjh/omy oracl't unj vrymy fh> ir yftlrmui (their tluvrs) to HfVil fortran/ sA tir ration tcilKout ihltiy. The rust, so general, is favoring cotton buyers by hastening the harvest. The prohabili- ie that during this month and Ucto- n >, thegreat'-r ■ "t «; '.in eoiton ^rop ■ r the South will be hurried lo market, thereby temporarily producing a glut and decline in prine. The speculators will take advantage of this, and as usual, reap the immense profit of the advance in pricey sore to take place later in the sca- stn. Wo do not advise our readers to delay the payment of their debts, but we feel no hesitation in saying, be not in a hurry to send forward yonr cotton, afid hold at least a few bales for sale in De cember aud January. It is a short sighted policy on the part of factors, to eucourage the farmers to a course that will deprive them of tho benefits of that rise in price, so generally predicted by all the beat, cotton authorities. TEACHERS' CORVENTIOK. At the call of the School Commis sioner a goodly number of the teachers, trustees and citixens assembled at the Court House on Friday last. The State Superintendent, Capt. Thompson, was present. The Commissioner stated the ob ject of the meeting to be a discussion on the subject of the Public School System, its defects and the proper temedies. Capt. Thompson being introduced, en- ♦ertaioed the Convention with a full and forcible address on the subject of education, giving a general review of tne different systems adopted by the States ef Europe aod America, with a full ex position of our own system, the difficul ties under which the school officials had to labor, the means to be used to im prove the system, the importance of sep- ar iting publii education from politics, ilJ the benefits to the country already, and to be, derived from a proper working of the system. He spoke at length of the evils arising from a misconception of the true end aud aim of a system of public education, showing under the pre sent law, the amount of money was ut terly inadequate for the purpose. This defect could be remedied by a system of local taxation. In coufirmalioo of this he cited several instances, among them the school in Winosboro' and those in Charleston. His tribute to the past his tory of the South Carolina College was beautifully expressed, and he urgently brought forward the advantages to be derived from its reopening His whole address was replete with the eloquence of a thorough scholar deeply interested in his work, and was a delightful literary treat. Ou the conclusion of his address the Commissioner called on the teachers appointed to make reports. The first subject for discussion being, ‘ The School System of South Carolina.” Ad able and well written paper was read by Mr, C. A. Seabrook, followed by a general discussion of the subject. lu the next subject, the chairman be ing absent a report was read by Mr I>. 1). Evans, followed by a lively discus sion on the value of the English Gram mar as taught in our schools. Tho chairman of the committee on School Discipline” making no report a aorai discussion was carried on, the gist of which seemed to be that Solo mon’s rule in its active interpretation could not be improved. On this subject from the State Superintendent down, there seemed to be great unanimity There was no written report on “The blackboard as an aid to teaching.” but the subject was ably handled by Mr Ilarl- lee, with some thoughts “jotted down by the wayside.” It is to be regretted that so few reports were read, as from those presented it was evident that with full reports, the meeting would have been much more interesting and in structive. After the disoiusious were over the State Superintendent was subjected to a running fire of questions from teachers and trustees; his able aud ready answers to which will no doubt enlighten the minds of s great many ou the subject of their miscoDoeptious with reference to the School Law. Mr. R. W. Boyd gave the Convention a few remarks ou the defects of the pres ent system of taxation, showing how the evils oould be remedied, aod thus in crease the School fund. Id this eon neetkm a letter warrsad from Mr J. T. Bristow, Conuty Auditor, suggesting that to order to secure a lull collection of (fie poll tax, the trustees of ssch Township should make u careful ee-usus ot their respective Townships giv-ng the uame of every man liable to poll lax. Mr Boyd stated that by the efficient dis charge of their duties by the Auditor and Treasurer, the amount collected from poll tax hud been increased from from 81,700 to 8d,4(l0, since they had been in office On motion it was ordered that the next meeting of the Convention he at Wesley Chapel, l.vdia, the time to bo appointed by the School Commissioner Ou motion the Convention adjourned. Though there was not a full atteud- anee of teachers aud trustees, there was a good representation from all ['arts of the county These meetings, taking place au nually, will be productive of a great deal of good. By them the teachers will be brought together, subjects of interest discussed, erroneous ideas dispelled mid much useful instruction received With a most excellent State Superintendent, and a thorough scholar and active officer as County School Commissioner, it only remains fur the trustees and the teach ers to get <Jut of tAle oli^ ruts aod fellow their councils, to make the school sys temofSouth Carolina, ns regards Dar lington county, a complete success. They are wide awake in the up country on the subject. Will tho old Pee Dee section the mother of ThornweM, Wilds, Evans aud others of that ilk be found wanting ? SMALL GBaIX, One of the best signs of the times is the rapidly growing area devoted by our farmers to crops of small grain The number of new and costly mills put up within the county in the last year, dem onstrates the great increase in the pro ductiou of wheat Until a few years past, it was believed that our soil and climate were not adapted to the growth ?f wheat; but now we know that we can produce wheat, iu profitable quantity pet acre, unsurpassed iu the flour that it turns out in any quarter of the world W<; will soon make all the flour that we consume, and ask none from abroad Every year there is, too, a great increase in our oat crop. We have found, by ex perience, that it affords a better and more wholesome food for stock tnao corn, and can be planted and grown at less expense, and in greater quantity, per acie. Corn exhausts the land on which it is planted, and its profitable produc- tion can be sustained only by heavy and expensive manuring; while oats, follow ed by peas, and these last turned in after the frosts of the Fall, enrich in stead of exhausting the soil. It is up parent that, in a few years, the planting ot corn will be confined to a few highly- manured acres, while tho main grain crop of our farmers, will consist of wheat and oats. This will be a great improve meat as, without giving other reasons, the sowing and harvesting ofsuiall grain interfere less with the successful culti vation of cotton. The Howard Association at Memphis issued au appeal to the country last week for aid for the sick and destitute of that plague stricken city, the Howard's fund having been exhausted. In response to this appeal J. Gould, the great stock gambler and broker ot New Vurk, for warded a check fo- five thousand dollars with a telegram to the president of the Howards to go ahead with the good work, aud he (Gouldj would foot the bill. Gould is choif owner of the N ow York Tribune aud tt Republican of the Stalwart type, but tins is certainly gen erous and manly in him, and the whole South should feel grateful to him fur this uobledeed to the relief of our suf fering brethren.

As sisted by a telescope, one hundred mil lions of suns are brought in range of our vision, perhaps giving light and heat to an inconceivable number of planets and their satellites. Thus the secret of the existence of infinite numbers is told, and we pause to ask, what is beyond all we have seen ? Are we to suppose those infinite regions are nothing but dark solitudes, untouched by the finger of Creative Energy? No; for the tilings that are seen are the prophecy of the ex istence of an intioite unseen. Then we ask, is there really no end ? Has space no boundary?

J The State Board of Examiners closed its session yesterday. During their two days' sitting they discussed fully the operations of the pre sent school law, aod decided, after care lul deliberation, not to recommend any changes in it at this time, it being their opinion that all ueces»ry changes in its operations can be made under the gen et.I authority given lo the State Board of Examiners under the school law. Considering that the present law is be ginning lo he understood throughout the State, aud the people beirg familiar with its provisions, no advantage was to be gained by changing it. Some of the obstacles in the way id an efficient pub lic school system are to be found in the Constitution of the State. These, of course, cannot be removed by the Legis lature, and the board were of opinion that the present school law was well adapted to the prerout condition of tilings. The board were satisfied, however, that the annual examination of the large number ot teachers in the public seliools oftlie State requires more labor of the country ‘ >ai*f of examiners than those gentlemen should be expected in per form jv-th-"..f cou pe* ' ; c* In view of tho higl el iv- i oi ... gouncmen forming ihu.-e o.in.'s and tor the pur pose of retaining their services, it was dee ded to make the following order with regard to examinations: 1 That iu all eases in which fir.-t grade* certificates have teen granted to applicants upon the second series of ques tions for 1879, the county boards of ex aminers shall have authority to renew said certificates annually fur a period of time not lo exceed three years, provided that the holders of such certificates shall give to the county hoards ot examiners satisfactory evuleuee of conliuucd good character and efficiency as teachers. 2 In like manner county boards of examiners shall have authority to renew second grade certificates annually for a j period of lime not te exceed two years 3* All applicants fur third grade cer tificates to he examined annually as heretofore.

Tho good streets are I rouits produced by the persistent efforts ol ilie b ard to raise the standard of schol urslup among teachers have already been seen throughout the State, aod it is be hived that the action of the State Board with regard to the issuing of certificates will, while it relieves the County Boards of much unnecessary work, excite an in creased spirit ol emulation among teach- eis to obtain the higher grades of cer tificates, A petition was presented to have the question of what text hooks shall be used in the public schools reopened and another hook placed on the list 'File hoard unanimously decided that it would he contrary to the law to do so, aod that the adoption made a yecr ago would have to stand for five years from the time it was made. t onfedorate Monument for Darlington.

Will Hie Scarcity of the Staple Cause Higher Brices J fiO.MiON, September J. — A leading monthly cotton circular says that the ex tensive curtailment of production has at length told upon manufacturer^ stocks. This has been specially the ease ns re gards goods suitable for India. The de mand from the Bast has also increased, and some fair contracts have been made fur future delivery. The home Hade, however, owing to the bad harvest pros? poets, has participated only in a small degree in the increase of business, and manufacturers iu this department are stiil burdened with considerable stocks. During the recent depre-sion the con sumption was probably reduced to 10,- 000 bales, und it may now be about 4"),^ 000 bales, but the recent advance in raw material will cheek the tendency to increased consumption unless followed by a erre-uonding advance in Manches ter of which there are no i ml i rat inn at present.
