THE DARLINGTON NEWS. THUK8DAY. AUGUST 19, 1886 D£VO.V%LM H EVASiSt EUITOK.* THE NORMAL INSTITUTE The neiMioD fur tbe white teachers of Darlington County opened Mon day morning in St. John’s Acade my and was called to order by the Coonty School Oomminsioner, Mr. W. H. Evans. As is generally the ease on first days, tbe number ot teachers was small. J- J- Ward, Esq., as Mayor of the Town made an address of welcome, speaking of tbe important position that teach ers ought to occupy among the peo ple, as it was the most important of the professions. Tbe address was Well delivered and made an excel lent opening for the session. Dr. Baer being introduced, took charge of the Institute, delivering a lecture on tbe aims and objects of tbe norm- tl system, and then lectured on the art of reading, illustrating on the blackboard. Tbe ^election of Dr. Baer as principal ot the Normal is an excellent one and cannot better be Uluatiated than by quoting tbe expression of one of the audience, "I learned more by listening to Dr. Baer for ten minutes about, how to read than I had ever conceived there was in the subject.” On Tuesday there was a better attendance of teachers. Dr. Baer reviewed the work of Monday, and lectured on reading, tbe cultivation of the senses, “the five gateways for tbe entrance of knowledge,” and on “how to study.” On Wednesday the attendance had increased, there being 14 teach ers present, and a number of visi tors. Dr. Baer lectured on reading, forming a class of teachers, and showing them bow to teach a read ing lesson; followed by a lecture on object lessons, showing how tainy tbinga conld be taught to a child, even by such a simple object as a piece of chalk, a chair, etc; such as shape, form, sixe, solidity, parts, composition, color, opacity, translnoenoy, taste, sonnd, etc. He also lectured on school manage tuent, showing that even tbe slight wst thing was an essential, naming as elements in correct management; arrangement of seats, post ore at aeats and in class, arrangement of classes, number in a class, number that one teacher could properly manage, and uamerouaother details. Tbe Institnte opens each day at 9 A. M., and closing at 1 P. M. Oarcirixcns, and especially parents, should miss no opportunity to at tend these sessions. The scope of tbe lectures is wide reaching am Includes much instruction which is as beoeflicial to the parents as is to the teacher. It does seem tittle queer that iu a town which boasts of Its intelligence so little interest should be taken iu this «ffort at intellectual advancement Those teachers who expect to teach in the pablic schools of the doonty are not doing justice to the County or to Aemselvee when they neglect to take part in this Insti tote which has boon made a part of the educational system of tbe State and is especially provided for the purpose of itting teachers to properly do their work. snmed the time of tbe Legislature on thette subjects will have no place at tbe next session. It will be observed that ont ot the sixty-three scholarships, uow twenty-two which are filled. | Thia means that these twenty-two cadets have been appointed at va rions times in tbe four years to take j tbe places ot those who failed from any cause to bold their scholarships. Darlington County is among a few in the State, whose cadets have been able, not only to complete their fall coarse to graduation, bat to graduate high up in tbe literary course and with honors iu tbe mili tary feature. W’e hope the next two, who take (heir places, may bring like honors on the county. Horry Wants An Explanation. The Horry delegates go to the convention to day to support a man from a county which went directly aD<i squarely back qu her. But this there are j t |, e result of endorsing and send ing delegates pledged to auy oue canditate. We hope events may bring about primary elections for Congress.—Marion Star. When did Darlington go back on the people of Hoi ry! Au explanation is uow in order and weald be appreciated by tbe people of Uony —Horry Herald. A Card of Thanks. Mr. Editor : Permit me through tbe columns ot your valuable paper to render grateful ackoowledgmeui to tbe uoble Christian women of the Presbyterian congregation, for their nnsolicited generosity in supplying my necessities for a month’s vaca tion in the mountains of Virginia. As Panl said to the Phillippiana in acknowledgment of the contribn- tions received tbrongh tbe bands oi Epaphroditos, “Not because I de sire a gift, but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have ail, and abound ; I am full, having received of Epaphroditos tbe things which were sent from yon^an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. Bat my God shall supply all your Deed according to his wishes in glory by Christ Jesus ” Jno. G. Law, Pastor Presbyterian Church. Clarendon Speaks Out. Tbe action of Marion iu with drawing from the convention, cal led forth considerable and very un favorable comment, and it seemed to be tbe general impression that her action iu this matter would re sult most dbdstrously to any can didate she might wish to offer far State or Congressional honors in the future. It was most uufortuu ate aud unexpected—and in strong conti ast to the action of Clarendon, whose delegates voted solidly tor tbe man of their choice aud failing to secure his nomination, they bow td to tbe will of tbe majority and cheerfully accepted Dargan as the nominee.—Manning Times. Death of Gen. A. M. Manigault. A special dispatch to the Newt Probate Judgeship. As the approaching convention of the Democratic party will be called upon to nominate a candi date for this office, we beg to sag gest the name of T. H. Spain, Esq , as one emmiuently qualified to meet the requirements of this responsible position. Mr, Spain was admitted to tbe Bar several years ago, pass iug with distinction a very rigid and searching examination, bnl; was prevented, by a long and painful illness, from winning tbe position bis stadions habits and talents conld easily have assured him. He has now recovered his health, and e are sure, if he be selected for this office, will bilng to the dis charge of its duties the same con scientious care aud professional ability tnat marked the career ot his brilliant and cultured father. Darlington. Tbe article on tbe Citadel Acad- wmy in this week’s News will be ot aoch iaterest aud convey desired information to several of the young staoents in thq County, who desire to take advantage of the scholar whips. There are two vacancies from Darlington County, caused the graduation of Messrs. McCown wnd Spain, and these will be filled by a competitive examination to be held, before « board appointed by the State Superintendent, in Dar lington on tbe 2nd Tuesday (14th) «f September. Application has to be made to Gen. Hagood before September 7 t in order that a per mit for examination may be grant ed- It is absolutely necessary to get this permit, so those who expect to attend tbe examination should lone ao time in eommnnieating with him. Tbe stability of the Citadel, is we think, aasared by tbe action of the State nominating convention, where much to the surprise of many citi sens of the Stale, tbe Citidel appro priation and the “free tuition” sab- jeetdid not appear as political fac tors in the selection of nominees. This is instanced by the selection of Mr. Bichardson for Govern dr, a pronounced advocate of the College and the Citadel, and that of Mr. Mauldin, Lieut Governor, a gentle man who has been ontspoken in hia opposition particularly to “free tui tion.” Tbe convention being eom- poeed of just such men as will be elected to the next General Assem bly, it is reasonable to Letter from Arkansas. Pulaski, Ark., Aug 5tb, ’80. Mu. Editor: I was born am raised in Darlington District, 8. C Several years of my life were spent in tbe Town of Darlington. Seven teen years ago I came to Arkansas ‘and settled in Pulaski county. A few others came in before I did, am from then until the present time they have continued to come am uow we have quite a number ot Carolinians—most of them from Darlington, and all left friends back there that perhaps would like to bear something from their Irteuds in Arkansas. Times have been rather hard far sometime; we have had three bad crop years in sucres sion, but tbe present crop is just as good as tbe laud can make it. is uot too late far cotton to be cut short but it is fine uow; corn made. Plenty of c< rn iu the Hills will make from 30 to 40 bushels per acre. Any one intending to move to this epuntry will find this fall favorable time, provisions will be cheap aud plentiful. We are uow beginning to fee some of tbe benefits derived from a Democratic government. Our taxes last year were about oue-tbirc less tbau they have ever been, am we hope to still see them reduce* Politics are now on a boom. The State is largely Democratic, but iu cur county we have a bard time to hold the reins. Tbe Republicans are mostly in the city of Little Rock and the negroes on the Arkansas River which rnns tbrongh tbecoun ty. Tbe greatest struggle at this time is between candidates of tbe same party striving for tbe nomina tioa. R. Bkaslky. and Courier from Georgetown, dat ed August 16, says: News has just reached here ot the death of Adju taut and Inspector General Arthur M. Mauigault, which took place at South Islaud at 4.30 o’clock to day. lis remains will be couveyed to Charleston by tbe steamer Planter to morrow, aud will probably arrive there about 2 P. M. The News and Courier says edi torially: A telegiam from George town, published this morning, brings tbe unexpected and startling intelli gence of the death of Adjutant Geu. ffanigault, at South Islaud yester lay afternoon. This news will be a shock to the State, whose people have thrice honored Geu. Maui gault with the important and re sponsible office which be held at tbe time of bis death, aud were about to prououuoe an emphatic “Well doue, thou good and fatbfnl ser vant.” by electing him to tho same high position for tbe fourth time. Gen. A. M. Maniganlt was born in the city Charleston iu 1824. Af ter being prepared for colloge be entered into commercial bnsiness in this city, and continued in that pursuit until the commeucemeutof the Mexican war iu 1846, when* he joined a volunteer company and was elected its First Lieutenant. In the latter part of that year be went to Mexico aud was engaged iu all tbe battles in which tbe Palmetto Regiment took part during the war. On his return from Mexico iu 1848, be went into business as commis sion merchant in Charleston, and remained so employed intil 1856 when he inherited some property from bis parents iu Georgetown county. From that time he iobow- ed the pursuit of a planter until the late war between the States. At the beginning ot this war he raised a vo'uuteer cavalry company, which he commanded. He was soon after transferred aud placed upon the staff of Geu. Beauregard as Inspec tor General, until the raising of the first ten regiments of ttie State vol unteer troops far the war. He was then elected Colonel of the 10th Regiment. The first six months of the war he commanded tbe first mil itary district ot South Carolia, un der Gens. Lee, Pemberton aud Rip ley. Early in 1862 Col. Manigault was ordered with his command to the army of tbe West, theu under tbe command of Beauregard aud Bragg. His services were coutiuous in the western army until tbe close of the war. He was twice wounded, the last being a very serious wound, from which he did not entirely re cover for a year after be received it. At the close of the war be found his fortune pretty well ruined, but be went to work again as a rice planter, which occupation he oou- tiuued to follow with varying suc cess up to tbe time of his election to the office of Adjutant aud Inspec tor General in 1880, which be held until his death, fulfilling its duties with advantage to tbe State aud honor to himself. The Southern West Point. The graduation of tbe class of 1886 from tleSta e Military Acade my, fifty-three members, of coarse creates vacancies in the ranks of (he Cadets Under the act providing for the reopening of the Citadel it was con template! that there should be sixty six young men who should receive beuefiiciary aritolarsliips at the institution. This number has been reduced bv the board of visit ors to sixty-tbree, owing to a small redaction made in th. appropria tion at tbe last session of tbe Gen eral Assembly. There are now in the Citadel twenty-two beneficiary Cadets, leaving forty-one vacau cies to be filled when the Citadel reo|>eus in October. These vacancies are apportioned among tbe various counties of the State as fallow: Aiken 1, Ander sou 2, Baru well 2, Beaufort 2, Berk- ely 2, Charleston 4, Chester 1, Ches terfield 1, Darlington 2, Edgefield 1, Fait field 2, Greenville 1, Hamptou 1, Horry 1, Kershaw 1, Lancaster 2, Laurens 2, Marlboro’ 1, Marion 1, Newberry 2, Omugeborg 1, Pick ens 1, Spartanburg 1, Sumter 1, Union 2, Williamsbnrg 1, York 1.

The Horry Progress Speaks Its Mind, In commenting ou tbe action the Marion delegates in the Con f ressional Convention the Horry Vogres* gays: “The Marion Star was circulated freely among tbe delegates, (ontatuing au article un der tbe caption of ‘Congressional Nomination’ which showed the set of tbe Mariou tide and one of the worst features of that tide set was the publishing of the amendment to article XIII ot the Constitution, in quotation marks, with the sen tence which related to submitting tbe question of primary or conven tion plan of nominating candidates left ont, and dating back to Au gust 5th, 1885, as the time of the adoption of the amendment. The aentenee suppressed read, “for this pnrpose among others,” and tbns making it appear that it was neces sary that the question of primary or Convention nominations should have been included in the call for the convention, while tbe fact is that at tbe time the call was issued the Chairman had no anthority, un der tbe constitution, to include such x question in the call. Marion’s poaitfon in this convention is like that which the Mariou Star says the Pee Dee delegates occupied iu tbe State Couveutiou, “if 1 oau’i have It I will tear It up before you •hall have It” Remarkable Mortality.
