THEY NEVER MET AQAIN. Stormy Scone Between President Mon roe end Secretary Crawford. In the diary of John Quincy Adams, under date December 14, 1825, there is an illustration of the fact that the fathers of our country did not monopolize all the goodness and leave only a heritage of evil to their sons. It records an occurrence which could hardly take place in these days of alleged degeneracy. The idea of a personal difficulty which came near ending in bloys between the President and a member of his Cabinet! Yet such is the record in Mr. Adams’ diary. Asbury Dickens, subsequent ly Secretary of the Senate, but at that time chief clerk in the Treasury Department, a place which he had held under Craw ford in the previous (Monroe) Administration, called on Mr. Adams, then President, on bus iness, and after enlarging upon his services in the Treasury, added that he supposed that Mr. Adams knew that he had been the only means of communi cation between the Treasury Department and President Mon- roe after all personal communi cation between the President and Mr. Crawford had ceased. Mr. Adams said he had not known the fact, and then Dick ens told him that a few weeks before the close of the adminis tration some words used by Mr. Monroe to Mr. Crawford had induced the latter to abstain from going to the executive mansion and that he never saw Mr. Monroe again. When Mr. Southard, Secretary of the Navy under Monroe and Adams, came in shortly afterward, he was asked by President Adams if he knew anything of it, to which he said: “Yes, one day last winter, on coming here to the White House on business, I found Mr. Mon roe walking to and fro across the room in great agitation. He told me Crawford had just left him—he had come to him con cerning the nomination of cer tain officers of the customs in the Northern ports—that Craw ford recommended the nomina tion of several persons against whom Mr. Monroe expressed several objections, and that Mr. Crawford at last rose in much irritation, gathered the papers together, and said petulantly : “Well, if you will not appoint the persons well qualified for the places, tell me whom you will appoint, that I may get rid of their importunities?’’ Mr. Monroe replied with great warmth, saying that he consid ered Crawford’s language as ex tremely improper and unsuita ble to the relations between them, when Crawford, turning to him, raised his cane as in the attitude to strike, and said, •You damned infernal old scoundrel!’ Mr. Monroe seized t’ie tongs at the fire-place for self-defence, applied a retaliato ry epithet to Crawford, and told him he would immediately ring for servants and turn him out of the house, upon which Craw ford, beginning to recover Hm- self, said he did not intend, and had not intended, to insult him and left the house. They never met afterward.” Senator Plumb on Country Papers. (From the Ttmcon (Ariz.) Citizen.] The late Senator Plumb be gan his remarkable career by editing a country newspaper, and never lost his interest in the profession. One of his latest speeches was made to a conven tion of editors, and contained the following tribute to the value of the local press: “I believe in the local newspapers. They are the leaders, the makers of public sentiment. They are nearer to the people than any other paper. Their editors mingle with the people, and, consciously or unconsciously, reflect the views of their read ers. By my private letters from all parts of the State, and by reading the local papers, I can tell just what the people of Kansas are thinking and talk ing about. I can feel the pulse of the people and take their temperature. I am amazed, too, at the excellence of our country paper. The majority of them are carefully, ably edit ed. They not only print the news of their neighborhood, but have opinions which I find it worth my wl.i'e to read and re flect upon. I get no better re turn for any of the money which I spend than for that which I pay out for the local newspapers of my State.” IN BEHALF OF EDUCATION. A New Plan that Premizes Great Bene fit to our Public School Teachers. The State Department of Education is ananging a plan whereby the county school teachers of South Carolina will reap great benefit, and which will undoubtedly cause the an nual county teachers’ institutes to be events that every teacher will attend and profit by. The matter was first talked of when Col. Rice was Superin tendent of Education, but now the first attempt at putting the plan into practice will be made. Heretofore county institutes have been held without any particular attention being given to the manner <?f instruction. Superintendent Mayfield and his assistant now intend to for mulate a regular course of in struction to be used in all the : institutes alike. The course will not cover one year's insti tutes merely, but it will be of three years’ duration. Each institute instructor will be held strictly to its require ments. At the end of such a three years’ course of instruction every teacher completing the course will be awarded a di- | ploma, after having stood a tho- ‘ rough final examination. Superintendent Mayfield has written to many leading educa tors in the State for sjggestions as to the course to be required, and as soon as he receives the replies, he and Professor Clink- ; scales will prepare the course. The teachers, heretofore having no special object in attending institutes failed to do so, and this holding out a diploma, it is claimed, will bring forth every teacher who has a pride in his or her profession. The matter will be laid before the State Board of Education at its next meeting, which will be held within a fortnight, and will be made a leading question for consideration. The department is hearing from nearly every county in the State, and in all but one or two enthusiastic institues will be held this summer. CARING FOR YOUG MEN. A Recent Instance of the Noble Work of the Y. M. C. A. in Columbia. (The State April let.] President D. B. Johnson, of the Columbia Y. M. C. A., in speaking of the work of the as sociation yesterday, said : “The Y. M. C. A. is a noble organization and deserves the hearty support accorded it by the fathers and mothers of the land. “As an instance of some of the good work done for young men we have two cases of re cent occurrence in this city. Two worthy young men. one of this State and the other of Rhode Island, arrived at this place in distress, during the past two week. One had been sick for some time and both were with out means to reach home. They were cared for by the Y. M. C. A. and were forwarded on their way home rejoicing. “Thiskind of work is frequent ly being dor e. The associations in different cities co-operate with each other, and it is thus possible to look after a young man in almost any part of the country. Such an organization should receive support from all philanthropic people.” Loved Hiz Neighbor. (Detroit Free Pit-as.] Occasionally public speakers will focus their attentions on one individual in the audience on whom, for illustration’s sake, their remarks seem to be wholly and specially addressed. It is safe to say that the good man who figured as speaker to a Western audience in the present instance was very much sur prised at the literal application of his text. “You must remember,” he said at the conclusion of his sermon, “that the Good Book co nmands you to love neighbor as yourself.” At that moment a big lout jumped up in a back seat, and twirling his hat in his hand shouted: “I do, mister ; I love her a heap better than myself, but she’s gone an built a nine foot fence oetwixt our lots, an she says she’ll set the dogs on me if I climb up or look over.” The singing of the doxology drowned further remarks. your World's Fair Club Notes. [The State, Apia ] The World’s Fair movement is making good progress among the ladies of the State. At New berry on Monday last a club was organized and the follow ing officers were elected: Pres ident, Mrs. 0. L. Schumpert; recording secretary, Mrs. W.H. Hunt; corresponding secretary, Mrs. Y. J. Pope. An associate club is about to be organized among the ladies of Laurens. The Charleston club is urging the appointment of Miss Floride Cunningham as Democratic lady commissioner for South Carolina, and consider that this appointment is due her in con sideration of her efforts to se cure a colonial exhibit from the Old Thirteen. In other sections of the State the movement is taking sliaue and additional clubs will be formed at an early day. Exorbitant Claimz Against Chile. Washington, April 1.—The State Department is in almost daily receipt of claimsfordama- ges against the Chilean Govern ment. on account of the riot in Valparaiso in which the United States steamer Baltimore's sail- o s were injured. Some of these applications are filed by persons whose citizenship in the United States is questionable, and the injuries alleged to have been received are in most cases of a trival character. The dam ages asked, however, are large, and range from $5,000 to $75,000. And some applications are from r rsons not connected with the Itimore at all, but who claim the United States as their resi dence. Bucklen’z Arnica Salve.

Dr. W. H. Whitehead: Dear Sir—At your request I will state my case. Some years ago I centracted malaria in its most violent form while living at Newark, N. J. I consulted various physicians and took numberless preparations recom mended as “sure cures,” but it stuck to me like a brother—or more like a mother-in-law. I finally came South, and while here tried new remedies, said to always cure malaria, and it still stuck to me, and you know the broken-down condition I was in when I came to your P. P. P.
