THE DARUNGTON NEWS, THUKSDAy. AUGUST 26, 1S% DtVO.\Al7l> l» KVA\s». EU1YOK PENCIL PICTC[;i '. Uuder thin beadiug we will be gin in onr next iasue a review of the business interests of Darlington, in which a full sketch will be given of the Town, its public buildings, manufactures, stores, its trade, its intellectual, religious and educa tional attractions, its prominent profeslional men, its town govern ment, and in fact, as near as we ean, such a complete sketch of Dar- Hogton, written by an expert in the business, as will give a clear and eomprehensive view of oar“Kir- mingham of the Pee Dee.’’ The merchants and others desiring fix- * tra copies of the papers containing the sketch will please leave their orders not later than Saturday noon. ISFORMATION WASTED. Two growing agnculturai Indus tries in our county are beginning to emulate the power of King Cot ton. Tobacco and molasses are now being made by some of our best farmers. The tobacco crop is now about to be gathered and we call on Messrs. W. J. Parrott, Frank Rogers, W. P. Carter and others to give ns their experience. The mo lasses crop, confined to a few enter prising farmers, is an important one, and is produced from several varieties of cane. We would desire to publish in the News, statistics of the kind planted, cost of manure «nd cultivation, means and methods, with cost of manufacture, quanti fy produced per acre, and other items of interest. Mr. Geo. B. Howie ean give us his experience with Amber and Florida cane, Mr. H. N Howie can tell us about Flor ida cane, Mr. C. R. King has been successful with Amber cane, and there are others, we suspect, who ■cat their own home grown molasses. -Let us have your successtul expe- -rienoes, gentlemen, and show ns 'what you are doing to advance di versified agriculture Dr. Baer will lecture at the Academy, Friday (tomorrow) after noon, at 5 o’clock, on the subject of “Graded Schools.” The public are iavited to attend. This is a sub ject whieh ought to be of great in terest to our people, as graded schools are now being established «H*?erthe State iu most towns of juhj sice, and Darlington which is making such extraordinary ad vancement in material prosperity, should lose no time in considering tbs working of the graded system, and if found beneficial, to adopt 'the system, and bring the educa- ‘tional facilities of our town np to <the plane of her mercantile and mannfacturing interests. We hope <the lecture will bo well attended by <our business men, and that the subject will be well considered. Thb war cloud on the Bio Grande , -ought to be dissipated, if it has uot been, by the unconditional surren der ot Cutting by Mexico. Cutting violated Mexican law on Mexican JH»il and deserved^) be punished. Wedo not take any stock iu the idea that any American citizen can vio late the laws of another country -with impunity. It is contrary to Abe spirit of the constitution of the United States, this being involved In wars with other countries for eouquest, and as a war with Mexico would result in nothing but a con quest of a part, if not the whole of that country, it is well that the eatui belli has ceased. THE session of the Normal Insti tote for the colored teachers of Dar lington will begin next Monday in the Pablie School House, iu charge of Dr. Baer. A large turn out of teachers and parents is requested The session of two weeks will be full of interest and will be conduct ed by one who is skilled in Normal Institute work. Normal Institute. The daily sessions of the Institute continue The interest has greatly iaereMed, the enrollment of teach era doubled, and an increased at- tendance of visitors is noted. We given sketch of the work since our fast report. THURSDAY. . The first exercise was the oonsid •ration of a programme of exercises for ungraded schools. Dr. Baer outlined a model programme on the ' as a suggestion, and explain- • in many branches a multi r of text books, on the same be an advantage. i exercise was on Read ing, especially inflection, tone, rate, emphasis. Some very important principles were exemplified, espe dally those of positive and nega- the manner of ren This surprised the teachers. They i fountains of truth t Why such bad suggested that an apple had h* avy discriminations, four parts and found that it had l ^uess Mr. Tillman was on this ten. The lesson on the flower was line of thougn: when he suggested equally interesting and suggestive, j in the convention a more liberal ^ provision for her education, I guess, don’t yon f He heard the ringing 1 on the Sounds of Letters iu stress was laid on teaching FRIDAY. The first lesson was an exercise . — which ‘hejubilant commencement bells pupils i •" a sister State, heard the merry pronunciation, distinctness and the i ai, 'J l iU IMiy voices of huu- use ot the dictionary.

OVtM* tlltMT iltitHlrll I !l i wiah ton or lesson j for instance, an “object of teaching phonetic spelling was illustrated and a large number ot exercises were given for use in the school room. The second exerebe was on Atten tion Dr. Baer particularly dwelled on the importance of having the undivided attention of the class and showed conclusively that there can be no instruction without attention. He gave the conditions qt attention, some of w hich are proper air and light, comfortable seats, proper posture of pupils and good teach iug- The Recitation formed the last ex ercise for the first week and the leading points dwelled apon were the manner, position of the teacher, the objectof the recitation which wasex plained to be to hear, to instruct and to impress. MONDAY, AUG. 23. The first exercise was on Lan guage. Dr Baer maintains that the study of coustractiVe language should precede the study of Gram mar proper, lie put a complete outline on tne board and dwell ed with great emphasis on tbe idea of tarnishing children first ideas before requiring them to express them, and also that they should be required to repeat orally before they should be compelled to write tbe exercise. The exercise on History was in teresting. Stress was laid on teach ing children facts and meeting their desire for the narrative, so that their tastes will be cultivated prop erly, not for tbe trashy novel, bat for real food in the line of solid reading. The day’s exercises closed with a talk on Attention, or rather on how to cultivate attention. This should be done first incidentally, second by special exercises or drills on reading and spelling, requiring pa pits to catch the words and repro- dace the story, and third by forc ing attention. TUESDAY. Language was the subject uuder consideration for the first hour and a quarter. Tbe illusl rations as to wri ting and punctuating the different kinds of sentences were clear, am their use in language exercises am Grammar were forcibly impressed. Dr. Baer holds that a child can Ire so well drilled in the rudimentary steps that he can't make a mistake. He also showed how language ex ercisescan and ought to becouuec ted with every lesson whether it be Beading, Spelling, Geography, His torv or Arithmetic. The second exercise whs a very interesting talk on tbe “Memory.” The laws of memory were explain ed as also muemonrics and both how and what to memorize. Dr. Baer has no sympathy with persons who are anxious to confess thuF they have poor memories. History of the United States formed the last exercise of the ses sion. The founding of tbe differ ent colonies were explained, an out line of each being put on tbe board. Illustrations were given ot ap plying .the rules of memory, as cause and effect, and it was shown that by a single date fully a dozen historical facts can be retained ant recalled in this way. History neet not be mere memory work. WEDNESDAY. The subject of Language was continued, tbe main points dwellet upon were letter writing, business forms, changing poetry into prose ami eorrectioiAof errors. The second exercise was a class drill in reading in which the lead fug points in teaching this impor tant subject were made prominent. Appleton’s 3rd Reader was used and some of the teachers learned that even in this reader there was scope sufficient to learn. Word-cul ing, sense-reading, impressing difficult sentences and the language drill were tbe main features U. S. History occupied the bal auce of the session. Dr. Baer first illustrated how to start pupils with books, insisting that if pupils were taught to read the paragranb in telligently and pick out the ideas, that pupils can be interested and will do intelligent work. He also illustrated on the board how to teach the leading facts of the dif ferent wars, and how to teach the details of battles. Female Edn cation. Editor Darlington News : 1 have long since wished to write you a letter, aud having read in late issue of tbe News tbe notice of an interesting discussion no doubt, between Prof. McLaughlin aud the Hou. Mr. Beasly upon tbe susceptibility of the male aud fe male mind, I at the first oppor tunity find myself writing. The Prof, is the right man in the right place. He no doubt with tbe Hou. J. 0. Clements to assist in times of emergency will be able to keep bis antagonist on a tolerably straight line, or at least out of trouble. . The Prof, having won his victory aud no doubt justly, I would sug gest another question, to-wit: Why is South Carolina so far behind, at least 60 or 100 years, her sister States in tbe provisions made for her education f It indeed she is susceptible, willing aud anxious to drink freely and liberally from the Pierian fountains; if indeed she IS equally an Institution of God and nature, why should she uot be au «]«.! bei, to the iuexhaustable happy over their annual jubilees, si»w tbe thronging and gathering multitudes, heard the addresses of ex Governors aud Senators, saw the awarding of medals ami con ferring of diplomas, when he sag ge-sted, or rather exclaimed that South Carolina must educate her girls—our girls must Ire educated. Did you ever think how soon the star of Na|>o!eou Bonaparte the greatest warrior perhaps the world ever saw, when he divorced his Josephine, went down to rise no more forever. Thus separated, a lord of creation, the mighty wanior reels, totters, falls. The agricultural college would be all right I think, don’t you! The University is all right tor as upon the young men rest the future des tiny ot State, they should be edu cated. Then u|K>n the girls rest the ponderous burthen of the moral world, the refining center of society, civiliziatfon and even Christianity itself, then they should be educated. But what are her chances eompara lively From Charlotte to Golds boro, N. C., there are 7 or 8 female Colleges, competition running close and sharp, the best educators in the whole land are employed, ex penses trimmed close as possible, ami thus a liberal education is pos sible nearly to all. Now I think one think certain, mat just so long as the finger Iwaid points to sister States, from necessity, for the education oi onr young people, just so long will it point to exhaustion and circum scribed intelligence at home, luxury and general iutelN|teuce abroad. But why should it be thus f Tbe people of South Carolina are the most liberal and generous hearted people iu the world. They patron ize liberally all the foreign mark ts, import all they eat, aud nearly all they wear, import their educators mostly, and thus their literature, iu ft word, they are free hearted. There is one thing however it seems im possible for them to reach by means of railroads, steam boats, Ac., aud that is practical sense. Our sister States are sharp enough to hold in this respect. If, however our inflnentials aud sharp financiers could manage po get a pretty heavy loan in that particlar at a reason able per cent., not only au industrial college but various others, would be the grand res’ It. Competition would l>e close, the terms reason able, the populace identified and I imagine cur time-honored ami loved little Palmetto would then bloom and flourish as did Ancient Greece. E. D. Re-union. (Reported for the Nkwc.) The fifth re union of Company “I” 18tb S. C. V., was held at the Min eral Spring, near Darlington, on Saturday', August 14. There were about twenty of tbe survivors pres ent, who with their families aud friends, to the number of about two hundred, spent a very pleasant day. A business meeting of the survi- vers was called to order at 11 o’clock noon. The annual election of offi cers resulted: Capt. John Floyd, President; Lieut. J. Jordan, Vice- President; H. McUodge, Secretary. The ladies of *the party, after the meeting adjourned, took charge of the commissary wagons aud spread a sumptuous, feast. The re union was, in every way, a success and was greatly enjoyed by all. X. A Difference of Opinion on the Ton- gressional Convention. (Vlarion Stir.) The action of the Marion Dele tion iu the recent Congressional Convention, jtt Florence, receives the unqualified approval of this County. Aside, however, from the fact that this action teaches extreme partisans the wholesome lesson that zeal for individual aspirants must be subouliuated to the in terests anti wishes of the people, this approval grows out of opposi- tiou to no particular candidate. It is a matter of comparatively small impor‘ance to Marion trom which of the counties composing the Sixth District the nominee may come, provided, he represents tbe prevail ing sentiment of the people ot this District on the grest issues now be fore the country—and is nominated in accordance with tbe Constitution ol the State Democratic Party. So far as the first point was con cerned,the Delegation, in obedience* to the instructions of their County Convention, insisted (hat the nomi nation be made according to the primary plan, iu order that tbe dif ferences of opinion iu regard to the Blair Bill, aud for the free coinage of silver might be submitted to the people, fully discussed aud fairly determined. This whs refused by the Convention, and the Delegates accepted its deteat. The next question was ot a far different character. It simply in volved tbe power of tbe Congres sional Convention to make a nomi nation iu direct violation of the provisions of the State constitution, ftud Marion desired to be placed on record as obeying the supreme au thority iu the State. According to ibis view and supported by tbe views of members of the State con vention who enacted this Amend- 1 nieut to Art. XIII of tbe State con stitution, tbe Maridu delegatiou chose not to assume the grave re- 8jK>nHibiiity*of violating the State constitution, or of being privy to such violation, aud adopted the most effectual means of showing its party fealty. The chairman of the delegation moved an adjournment until after the 1st September next. This motion being defeated, the delegation, conceiving that the con veutiou persisted iu violating the constitution, withdrew and the con veutiou proceeded m make a uou> inatioa w ithout tbe presence or par ticipation of the most important county in tb£ District. Bight or wrong, a serious issue is raised, which, for fear of complies ting the matter, we forbear to dis ease at this juncture It is, also, a rather significant fact that the Sixth D strict is alone iu the State on having made (or purported to have made) its nomin ation prior to the first day of Sep teinber. The other Congressional Districts of the State seem not to agree with the Sixth, on their con struction of the Amendment to Art. XII1. and have cal ed conventions to meet after the lx/ September next. Now, in justice to Marion, we wish to say that there is no danger of her bolting. There is very little of that element iu her. She is as loyal now as she was in 1876, when she stood in such magnificent con trast to some of her sister counties. All that she wants is a fair field and no favurs. But as a matter of right, aud, iu vie \ of ail the circumstances, it is eminently fit and proper that the Stftte executive committee take some prompt action iu tnis •matter looking to an early adjustment of the difficulty—even if a new con vention wid have to be called. (I're De* Index.) It was known before the conven tion met, Hon. Geo. VV. Dargau would be iiomiu .ted He received the votes of Darlington IU, Marl boro’ 6, Horry 6, all of which had been instructed for him by the sev- etal county conventions, aud one from Williamsburg, making 21,21 only tieing necessary to a choice in full con veutiou The foil proceed ings are printed elsewhere as re ported by the Florence Times. Al though, according to our judgment, tlit Marion delegation wrere mis taken as to the construction they placed upon the recent amendment to the State Convention of the Dem ocratic party, yet with their view of the matter, they could not have con sistently acted olh raise t( an to withdraw from the convention. They c.iustnied the amendment as restricting all ciMiventloiis to meet after the 1st September. The pro vise reads as follows: ‘•Provided fuitber, that no election, either tor delegates to a convention or under the primary plan, shall hereafter lie b«fld prior to the first day ot Sep tember in any year.” It will be ob served that the restriction is placed upon the election, which of coQrse is a condition precedent to the con vention, but the election ot dele gates having been held by the sev eral eo lilies composing this Con gressional District prior to the State Convention, could not be effected thereby, it the proviso had read, “No convention shall here alter he held prior to September 1st,” then the convention could not have been held on the llth instant. The restriction is not U|hmi conven tions directly, but upon the elec tii a of delegates thereto, and ot couise, was not applicable to a con vention, the delegates comprising which had been previously elected. In our opinion, even conceding the view taken by the Marion delega tiou was correct, it would have placed Marion jn a much better light before the District and the State had the delegation made the point, then, being found in the mi uority, to have submitted to the ac tion of the majority of the conven tion, and two years hence taken advantage of it before the people. Democratic gatherings of all kinds are ruled by the majority. The majority were against Marion in the Florence Convention, and noth ing was left her hut to submit. This has greater force when it is remem bered that the delegatiou withdrew on a doubtful technicality. Our Darlington friends need have no fear of any defection among the staunch Democracy*)! Marion conn ty. While Marion would have pre ferred a member from home, believ ing she has as able and worthy ma terial as can be found elsewhere, and feeling also that she is other wise entitled to tbe choice, still she is too sensible of her own duty and dignity to swerve a hair’s breath from tbe proper line qf action. As heretofore, she will roll up the large majority that ever has and ever will insure the election of "the Dis trict’s choice. The injustice of oth ers can never drive this county to be unjust to berself nor untrue to. the Democracy of South Carolina. The Great Woodrow Trial. (Correspondetie* AugunU Chronicle.) The columns ot the Chronicle have given in full the accounts of the great trial of Dr. James Wood- row. This is tbe first formal arraign ment ot the Doctor iu a court ot the church authorized to try his case, although his peculiar teachings have been reviewed and criticised in every assemblage of this denomi nation. He has been cleared of tbe charge of heresy, and escapes even the admonition which was the mildest form of punishment be oonld have received, and which, 1 believe, would have been the pen alty selected by tbe prosecution. The case will be tftken, on com plaint, before tbe Georgia Synod, which meets at Sparta in Novem ber, and as this body has been against Dj. Woodrow, the verdict of the lower court may be annulled. But annulling a verdict of not guil ty does not establish a verdict of guilty, aud a new trial before the Presbytery could have but one termination. So much, then, for Dr. Woodrow's eeclesiasti al char acter. Three of the fonr Synods controlling the Theological Sem inary in Columbia may and prob ably will vote to turn Dr Woodrow out of the faculty in accordance with the recommendation of the General Assembly. That of course will sever his connection with this institution. Dr Woodrow’s point was tiiat he could not afford to re sign under fire, aud that as he has been cleared of teaching em^ by tbe court having jurisdiction, he will remain until he is removed by the formal order of the Synod. As Dr. Woodrow has two large publications in Columbia, aud as he occupies the chair ol Natural Science in the South Carolina Col lege, he will remain in Columbia, at all events. The features of tbe trial were full (f interest. The t wo persous pitted against each other were prominent men. Dr. Adams, of Augusta, conducted tbe prosecu tion iu a spirit ot candor, courage aud high ability. His argument was said by Dr. Girardeau to have been tbe most masterly presenta tion of that side of the question 'that has yet been made. 1 saw no evidence of malice or intolerance. It was the clean wot k of a man who did his duty iu the most direct way, and did it well. It was uot au enviable position -that of prosecu tor. It was a contest with Dr. Woodrow iu his own field, among his old friends. No mau knows better than Dr. Woodrow what he does believe, and no mau marshals his proofs so completely. It is hard to fasten error or to impute heresy here. Dr. Woodrow says he believes the body -of man was formed by successive steps through succeed ing stages of lower animal life. The objectors say he does uot give full credit to God. Dr. Woodrow says he recognizes God in the whole development from beginning to-etid. The objectors say God created mau out of dust: Dr. YVoodiow insists that the exact process of creation is not told in the standards ot the church or iu the Bible; that science is not forbidden to try to work out the problem, and that the church should uot set uparbitary of illibetal barriers. • Tbe personal character ot the ao cased had its effect upon the case .Members of the Presbitery had been associated with Dr. Woodrow tor thirty years. They refused to believe him a dangerous man to the church. Others of the younger ministry had studied under him at Oglethorpe University aud at Co lumbia. They did not incline to the heliet that his teachings wen heretical All recognized him to be a pillar of intellectual strength iu the Presbytery. It was not easy to secure a verdict of guilty against this sort ol man. Dr. Woodrow’s handling of wit nesses was wonderful. He has a trained K»d subtle faculty. His mind is alert, and his output this time was finer in threading evidence trom the stand than in making his appeal to the court. He is a skill ed debater. The examination of Dr. Girardeau b> Dr. Woodrow was the keenest contest of'the trial. It was a dash of Hint and steel, edge cutting and spark-throwing It was quiet and intense. Both men arc masters of controversial forces. Dr. Adams proved the better advocate; Dr. Woodrow the more adroit attorney. One is impulsive and eloquent; the other wary and logical. Dr. Adams is full and florid, and his eyes shine with fire and nervous force. Dr. Woodrow is quiet and collected. He is pre cision itself. His face is pale, his eyes clear and passionless, and his demeanor indicates cool determina tion. Both men, I believe, were born abroad and are of Scotch extrac tion. This meeting might have suggested the array of Caledonian extremes. You might almost see Bruce and Balioi personified there.’ I was giad to note the exchange of friendly courtesies iu the train this afternoon. The i>ersoiial rela tions are not disturbed. I think Dr. Adams has sustained his repu tation and made friends even of his op|M>neuts. Dr. Woodrow has ol course gained all the official advan tage of the trial and proven bis strength iu bis home Presbytery.
