Some one asks, "Of what ose are these in? etitntee ? Are they aot a need leas expense ?" To those opea to conviction I offer tbeae few thoughts : Tbe instructors are tboee who are making pedagogy a special stody, wbo, devoting their eatire time to it, are brought io touch with tbe beet tbougbt, the ripest experience oo tbe subject. This is, to say the least, the ease witb our instructors. What are tbe con sequeocee T Tbey are eathueed, and they en? thuse tbe teachers oo tbs subject of education, e big thing io itaelf. Tbey have a method a tried method : I do not mean by tbis that our teachers have oooe, but tbat, bowever good tbeire may be it may be improved upoo. I think all wbo have at? tended tbe iostitote tbts year realise tbis. It is appropriate to say here tbat tbe agitation ibe subject of education here receives cannnt be otherwise tbao helpful to teachers aod tbe public. We, all intelligent people wbo have aoy acquaintance with tbe work done, look for good reeolte to follow Something has already been said ebout tbe "Natural Development Method," we aod tbie; we believe tbat the basal principal of inetroetioo has been found, its lines of tbougbt upoo which it would proceed dis? covered, aod that from henceforth school teaching will be much easier, pleasaoter, more profitable. Bringing tbe teachers together ooce a year gives opportunity for exchange of tboogbt, experience, etc , associations tbat are bound to bet helpful io many waye we have not time to discuss. It freshens them upou old things, Iseroe them the oew, aod helps to keep them abreast with tbe limes It may be, should be, made a time to bring tbe subject prominently before everybody, aad to take such eteps, eod deviee such means as ehall aid the cause. Some ooe asfb "What remalos to be dooe?" That seems a etraoge qoettion to well-informed people, bat to some it seems quite proper. There Is much, very much to be done. What we do waot, and need bad eooogh, are good school hoosee, such as are worthy tbe nasae of academy. It is no exag? geration to say some people, not a grea; many I hope, almost pale before such utter* anoae. It must be so. If aot why such bulls as are fonnd in many places, poorly provided witb desks, blackboards, eta , nod etovee that give out msre smoke aod soot tbao warmth ? At tbe risk of of beiog called extravagaot we call attention to a greater vieed, ooe we sincerely hope will be supplied I that in every school shall be ? library. Some people, all ioteiligeot teachers, will applaud this idea, but otbare will denounce it as extravagaoce gooe wild. Teacher-Pupil. ?MarMSjWa ???>? ?SjaWjBW****???

Florence, Sept 5 ?Tbe Atlaotio Coast Line Company is makiog wonder* ful improvements in its properties from Qaaotico to Charleston, Augusta and Colombia. Within the past year it has,completed its cotiro main line tracks with 90-pound stael rails. It has built many new freight and passen? ger depots and has made large additious to its officers' headquarters Tbe several sbops have been consolidated and the capacity of those io service tripled Thousands of dollars have been put in new machinery in the shops The system has decided that tbe oid, dilapidated, du.-ty ooaohes and the little old wood-burner engines, so long in service, must bo relegated or shipped away to notuo little ooe horse tram road or for saw mill purposes and be replaced by the up to date, modern aod comfortable veetibuled ooaches, hand somoly upholstered, lighted by electri oity and heated by steam. The great monster locomotive of today will replace tbe tiny wood burners that have been pulling a "shoo fly" passenger and a doiao box oars oo a freight train. An order has beeo placed with tbe Richmond Locomotive Works for ten of tbe large modern freight engine?, dapiioates of those purchased by tbis system last year of tbe Baldwin Loco? motive Works, of Philadelphia. These engines are monster maobioes and are known as "copper beads" or "10 wbeel jaoks." Tbey are fitted witb 194 26 inch cylinders, 03-inch driving wheels, and immense boiler aod fire box aod tbe latest improvements, 60oh as iojeotors, vaives, lubricators, oto. The tanks are of 4,000 gallo?, oapaoity aod will carry water enough to ruo on engine pulliog a heavy train for fifty miles aod coal enough to ruo ooe hundred and fifty miles Kich of them aro neatly and handsomely painted and conveniently arranged for oiling and repairing. Six of these monpfor locomotives bave already been delivered to the > Coast Line at their shops here and will be used for hauling freight trains between Charleston, Augusta, Florence aod Richmond. Io addition to these the Coast Lioe Company have purchased of the Bald* win Locomotive Works, of Philadel? phia, two more of the large passenger engines known as "trailers," and two immense "pushers" for drilling oo tbe yards. The two trailers are duplicates of those now in ose between Florenee aod Rooky Mount, N. C. They will be used on the "New York aod Augusta Flyer" between Florenee aod Augusta, wbieb route is expseted to prooure the "fast mail" appropriation. Tbe Soutbero Railway now has tbe "plum," bat the Coast Line people say tbsj will have that appropriation if tbey have to get "flying maohines." As to the passenger scrvioe, the Coast Line people sre now having built at their own shops io Wilmington aod in the Pullman Works, at Pullman, 111, 20 beautiful vestibuled ooaebes, tbat will replaee all the old "shacks" now io servios oo tbe main lines These eoaohes are built aod fitted with a view to the oomfort of passengers, vestibuled, olegantly upholstered, lava? tories, lighted with eleotrioity aod heated by steam. Tbey will be painted a dark olive greeo oo the outside, trimmed aod lettered io old gold, while the interior is beautifully fitted to antique oak. These ears will be need oo the loeal "shoo flyers" as well ss oo the through trsios Two dozeo large "oaboose" oars, 100 flat oars aod 500 veotilated box osrs of 80,000 pounds oapaoity, are being built at tbe Wilmington shops, all of of them fitted with Jenny couplers ?

Majority Reported Nearly Eight Thousand. Returns Incomplete, But Missing Precincts Will Not Make Change. The following summary of the re? turns received in Columbia last night is taken from the State of this date : The second State primary election has been 'held and the returns have come in more completely than on any preceding occasion of the kind. The returns received by the State this morning account for a total vote of upwards of 63,000 There will hardly be from 10,000 to 12,000 more votes to be reported The returns were sent in promptly from most of the counties, and by 1 o'clock prac? tically everything that was received WM in. It was rather a difficult un? dertaking to get the returns in shipshape so that they could be given to the public this morning. As a result of the election Gov McSweeney continues in the office of governor for the next two yearB. He has received 34,921 votes against 27,412 for Col Iloyt, his majority being 7,509. In the race for lieutenant governor Col 81oan has been beateu by Col Tillman, the former's vote being 28,090 against the Jatter's 33,974, the majority being n,874 on present figures For railroad commissioner the vote was 33,880 for Wharlon and 27,634 for Evans, tbe majority being 6,236. Chairman Evans is undoubtedly beaten. In the Sixth congressional district Congressman Norton has been badly beaten by Lieut Gov Scarbor? ough The election seems to have passed off quietly all over tbe State save in Fairfield county, and for a cutting scrape in this county. -?^m?Mmm>- -??>?>? ^W? - I Wm Henry Stevenson Killed at Fea8terville and Edward Brazell Killed at Blyth wood.
