FRIDAY, At M ST 8, IST9.
Education.
Wc are glad to see- that there is
more interest manifested on this sub
ject all over the State than has been
for years.
The schools are better patronized,
and all Becm to bo aroused to tho
importance of training tho youth of
the laud.
Even as an iuvostrreut it is begin
ning to be realized that nn education
is tho best legacy that a parent can
letiTc bis chihl.
For'ones ( hange, and the rich of
this generation become the poor of
?be next, and k> on according to the
vichsitudes ol time. lint the invest
ment that is made iu the cultivation
of the mind is never lost.
Ikfides this?what is hnpp'nesj ?
It is altogether in one seit, and docs
not depend on external things . Edu
cation ihn.?the illumination of the
inner man?is the key to this gicatest
el b'it-*;i!?s. 3?ut it is not to eelf
alone that wc must look, but to the
light which is shed for the blessing
of onr fellow men.
In view of the great boon which
education offers, and the manifest
interest which the people are exhibi
ting in the matter, it is to be hoped
that tho State will be aroused, and
that our legislators will work at the
next session of tho Legislature for a
more effective free school system.
The school house is the cradle of
liberty, and in order that the sparks
thall never go out, let us keep the
cradle constantly rocking.

Tho Scut hern Lifo.
The Insurance Company by the
above name, is a disgrace to the lo
cality v Inch it represents. While
the vnils of orpbotia find tiiilOWS who
have occn cheated out of their hard
earnings are going up, it is criminal
to 1 t lulle this, swindle with gloves (if.
Iberc is no manner of excuse for the
Inilere of an insuiauce company, in
the fust p'ace, because \i is based
upon data as certain as tho rising
sun; and in the second place, after it
was said to fail, there certainly must
be something to come back to the
policy holders.
When the first news of the failure
came, they rested satisfied, when cir
culars came to them from (Jen (.Jor
dan and Gov. Colquitt, assuring
them that they would look to th.Mi
nderest and inform them of all future
movements.
And yet time gees on and they
hear nothing except that their loans
are t > be sold, and will, of course, be
bought up by sharpers, who will
comedown upon them for tho whole
amount, and they would h tvo to
thank their stars if some of their own
property, if they Iv.ivj an/, d > i't go
for thoso-calle 1 ! t >;, \y th hit any ie
turn.
In other word; ihn Sellhorn Lifo
requires its policy holders lo pay the
coiupmy what they owe, and then
n ft ft wards they will have to set
whether they can get what the com
pany ewes them.
It is the biggest grab game by a
few that wo know of, and wc say
there ought to bean investigation
on the part of the policy-holders, and
tiny should combine for the purpose.
Dr. Alo l zo Webster.
The truth nlonc is our aim; and as
we published the charge against Dr.
Webster contained in the "News and
Courier," it is just and fair for us to
publish the following denial from tho
same paper:
"Somo of the prominent members
ot the A. M. E, Church in thin city,
to which Mr. Webster was formerly
attached, fell that the recently pub
lished statement of tho sharp practice
of which he was alleged to be guilty
in 1871 reflected injuriously upon a
religious body which includes many
of our mot-l reputable colored citi
zens, aud therefore made a careful
investigation of the scandal. They
have satisfied us that our Kcportcr
wob misinformed in regard lo the im
proper use of the church pulpit by
Mr. Webster. Wo have no wish to
be unjust to Mr. Wobstor, or any body
else. Our Reporter gave the story a s
he heard it; und while wo hive
slender faith in Mr. Webster as teach
er, either ol polities or piety, we shall
be. very glad to know that the un
pleasant charges urn wholly untrue,
ns his fellow-churchmen seem con
vinced."

W A Ml ALL A, August 2nd Io7(h
Tantalus is a ready figure of your
scribbler, as he sits iu full view of
the mountain range, and dares not
go out even with rubbers and a
waterproof. It has poured since
Tuesday morning, until the drains
run with a streamlike liquid gamboge,
the color of the soil hereabout, and
the passes have swollen to prevent
com muni cation. Where a rill sang
a lullaby a week ago, a turn cut now
rushes in mad grandeur, and we can
well imagine how it. is that tho Edis
to rises, when this vast water shed
tapping three thousand feet above
the fcta is emptying the ruins of six
days into the streams that swell oar
larger rivers. Think of tho thermom
eter at seventy at noon, [inigino a
heavy counterpane and blankets a t
night to shut out the chill, and you
will rebel at least that tho Piedmont
section docs not include a part of our
State, eighty miles from Charleston.
1 have had little opportunity to go
over this thriving town on account of
the bad weather. It is pro eminently
German; and you can hear the pure
dialect almost anywhere, yot tho u i
tivc population forms an important
part. The settlement is on two sid ? s
of a veiy wide street which runs for
three miles. The Adger College is
off to the light of Main st. about 200
yards. Il is a neat if not an imposing
frame bltuctutc. The Female Col
lege is n large substantial building.
Both of these arc well patroni/.od,
and arc monuments to the practical
wisdom of a young struggling com
muniiy. To see the single story
frame dwellings, plain almost to
humility, sti ikes the visitor with an
idea uf scant) incdiocrity; but to
know tl at 'it" first-class classical and
scientific schools are kept open by
the mutual and common will of this
people, settles the fact that the tinsel
is ignored for that which is to make
the men and women of the laud?
cdutaiii n. Retter a Tasso translat

Judge \\r. W. Loga re took in ? in
charge This is enough fortho.jc
who know the host and friend.
Here I am facing the deep green
lined piles which mount and overtop
until the rain clouds sweep their
I ciests. The trees are like garden
plants on their slope, and the bould
ers which bulge that a regim nit
might camp upon them, look like
ti Illing lumps of irregularity. Tho
ascent is gradual and safe in go >d
weather; now it would be rash and
idle. A friend made this tempt ng
oiler to-day, "wait until tho sun is
out, and I will take you to the mono
j tains, wh re a hundred trout may bo
taken in a day, and pheasants in
abundance." Another who was to be
of the party said, "Yes, and 1 will
run a deer plum over you, an 1 bring
you up until when you fasten on to a
a piece of fat beef you will fiinish it."
So you sec that the poetry of the
mountains is backed by the substan
tial solids of a renewed appetite and
plenty to challenge it. Rut I must
forego the trip which I regret as you
well imagine.
The Brewery is on a pretty hillsido
and i? a favorite resort. The cellars
nro positively winterish, being cut
deep into the rock under the hill.
Arbors, boot lies, a fountain and
shady walks tempt tho idle visitor.
General Wagener it is said brought
the first colony here, and gave it
the name Yal or Walhalla. It is
accepted for the sake of mere fancy,
but it is not a strictly national
christening. The tradition of the
Scandinavian holds Valholla as the
resting place of dead heroes, revivi
fied and healed uf wounds, und in
the courts of Odin. Wo will imagine
the < harn cd draughts penned out by
the Valkyrias to be the crystal water
which abounds everywhere, and tho
gbrious climate lo bo tho restoring
quality of Walhalla's charm.

How to make funning profitable
and pleasant Censor thinks *?. lingo
job, but Critic eon.si lers himself ado*
quate to (bo tusk, though it may
smack of self conceit. To begin.
Our lands uro sandy and exhausted.
To accomplish success, in this condi
tion, is impossible. How to accom
plish this is the rub.
Now "Long Orange," of tho
'?Democrat," cited us to Stuart's
farm on Long Island, (sandy soil)
which, by liberal manuring, was
made to produce prodigiously. Wo
doubt whether it was profitable. Wo
admit it was a pleasure to him.
Horace Greeley, by liberal unt
il u ring, made the soil produce to its
utmost capacity, and failed to find it
profi table.
Mr. Dixon's high manuring and
profitable crops cease to appv.r in
public pi hits.
There is no noo l of multiplying
cases to prove that high manuring,
in our sandy soil, in its present con
dition, will ntt pay. Iluudrolsof
our own farmers who followed Mr.
Dixon can testify to this fact. For
Critic, little and unknown, to teach
farmers bow to make fanning profita
ble, when men of ability and means
have failed, may appear impossible.
He can do it by precept and example.
To succeed, a fanner has to undor
stand the condition of Ilia sui', the
nature of the crop cultivated, the
t Ih els of the fertilizers used.
To begin, what is the condition of
our warn soil, light colored and
thii.-ty. We lind on this class of
la nds, highly concentrated fertilizers
will not pay. Why? We must
k now the cause so as to apply the
remedy. Scientific men tell us it is
exhaustion of plant food in the soil.
We admit it, but consider it indefi
nite; uboi't as definite as if you were
to ask a physician what discuic
caused the death of his ] alicut, and
he would answer that he died for
the want ul breath.
When I igbly ammonialcd my
nitres are applied to this class of
lands firing in corn and rust ami
shedding in cotton ic the rcsuU (mi
inevitable consequence). Why '/ Ik
cause I here its not bun.us in the soil
to bohl the moisture. Without mois
j lure it is impossible for corn, cotton
or any plant to take up plant food,
h< wcvvr abundant iL may he in the
soil. j . *.
Now, to those, w hose fortune it is
}o cultivate .-neb lauds, see the abso
lute necessity of restoring humus to
the soil. What means must we em
ploy to this end? One oi* the must
ifiicieut is straw, leaves and.scraping
from the forest. Green manuring is
another.
Each of these subjects deserve a
separate letter, w hich I will give you
In the future.
Mr. Kdilor, I took my seat to write
about tlie dice's of straw and leaves
to our worn soil, and have just
reached the subject, but the length of
this letter admonishes us to dose. 1
must beg pardon for dealing in gene
ralities, but to friend Censor, wc ex
tend, through you, nn invitation to
visit our farm, provhh d he promises
to exchange views with me through
your columns and keep my name a
secret. CltlTIC.
