Letter to S. M. Beaty, Union, S. C.
Dear Sir; As your business is to
got people into and out of trouble,
suppose you consider their paint;
it makes 'em almost as much
trouble as money, except of course
matrimony.
They buy poor paint a good deal; i
they don't mean to; they don't i
know any better; they buy without 1
thinking. Bad paint isn't good. It i
looks good-enough for a year; then 1
begins to get rusty; hut' changes so 1
slowly, one doesn't notice it. 1
Ixioklng isn't all. The business <
of paint is to keep a house dry in- 1
side, the wood and iron of it; keep I
it from rotting and rusting. Takes <
good paint to do it. i
Good and had paint are sold at 1
one price or about that. One can't
go by the price at all; as with law- 1
yers, the price has nothing to do i
with goodness or badness; and costs i
are worse yet; the painter and slier- i
iff come-in for their share.
But the probability is that a man |
who paints Dcvoc, will come-out on 1
top. Yours truly, i

SPRING OPENINGS AND
MILLINERY DISPLAYS.
V
Many Beautiful and Artistic
Creations in Hats, Lovely
Shades in Dress fabrics, and
Exquisite Shoes are Shown
by Our Merchants.
Tuesday dawned bright and
balmy with occasional gusts of
wind and. refreshing April showers,
nevertheless the ladies looking fresh
ind charming were out in full force
to see the spring goods and millinery
displays of the Mutual Dry
floods Co., Miss M. E. Tinsley,
McLurc Mercantile Co. and the
Union Cotton Mills Department
>tore. As usual the ladies manifested
a lively interest, expressing
lelight and admiration of the many
oeautiful and artistic creations of
;mts, lovely shades in dress fabrics,
ind shoes.
In the show windows of the
Mutual Dry Goods Co. were a taste'ul
and attractive display of shoes
>f all styles, sizes and of the latest
uts. In another window the latest
n hosiery, and in the other two
igures gracefully draped in lace
>ver Nile green, the other lace over
ilae, in the centre a mass of lillies
>f the valley, a ready-to-wear hat
m either side trimmed in white and
$reen. This window looked like
i miniature flower garden. In the
front part of the store many beautiful
designs in dress fabrics, fans
ind parasols were attractively displayed.
The millinery department
ivas decorated with dogwood blossoms,
ferns and artificial flowers.
The hats were models of fashion
Hid beauty, so profusely and elaborately
trimmed as to carry out the
flowor fmrdi'll foallirn nf tVilu unoo/?..l"
style. There were some lovely hats
in the Charlotte Corday and turban
sliapes. .
Miss M. E. Tinsley as usual displayed
great artistic taste in the
lecorations of the show windows.
Most charming were the picture
liats, banks of flowers, the prevailing
colors being green and white,
ill of which were much admired,
there being some specially pretty
liats in lilac and white.
The McLuro Mercantile Co. had
i very attractive window with a net
work of artificial flowers for a back
ground, and ignite a numlicr of
pretty hats placed alxmt in the
window, and in the center was an
irbor of Easter lillies. The millinery
department was as beautiful
i collection of stylish hats in lilac
xnd white trimmings and of the
most popular shapes as could lie
found in any first class millinery
establishment.
At the Cotton Mill Department
store there were many very pretty
turbans and other shapes and varieties
of trimmings.
We have not in this account
given half that was to lie seen at
the opening of the several stores
here mentioned. It is a matter of
impossibility to describe the many
iH'aimnu limy, we were impressed
ivith the profusion of flowers put
upon one hat, there seemed enough
3n one to trim a dozen, is why we
have called the hats a miniature
(lower garden, and most of thefloweas
seem to be 011 the back part of
the hats: this we fear will make
the ladies walk away from you.
The ladies in charge of the millinery
departments certainly de".
serve great credit for the beautiful
and artistic work in the creation of
such lovely hats. They certainly
have afforded the ladies of this ?ity
great pleasure, and by them this
work of art is greatly admired and
appreciated.
DR. DODO DELIGHTED
With Historic Sketch of AnteDellum
Schools?Knew Personally
Some of the Teach
ers.
_ ?.
Mr. Editor; I wish to thank
your fair correspondent for her
article Inst week in The Times on
ante-bellum schools, teachors, (fee.,
of South Carolina. I was specially
interested in her account of the
"barefooted teacher." Being intimately
acquainted with Prof Jones,
1 may lie able to add to what your
correspondent has said about him.
Over BO years ago (I do not remember
exact date) he taught at
West Springs. An old lady, Mrs.
Bennett, says she was one of his
pupils. He probably went from
Union county to Calhoun Falls. In
1851 he was teaching near New
Market below Greenwood. I was
one of his pupils during the fall session.
In 1854 he had moved to
the upper portion of Abbeville
county, in the Calhoun section near
the Savannah river. Here he built
up a nourishing high school (mixed.)
Qntside of the local patronage he
had a large number of boarders
from the surrounding counties (and
Georgia. I had the honor, as well
as the pleasure, of being one of ^
assistants. I learned more v
Ftof. Jqxwk than uU tUu tea<x \

His teaching was analytic and
thorough. He taught spelling and
reading upon a new system. He
used "Brid's English Dictionary,"
ono of tho host I ever saw. And
why it was not adopted in the
schools generally, I never could
understand. It is out of print and
therefore difficult to obtain si copy.
I have a copy I will loan to any
teacher in the county who is curious
to learn how spelling and reading
were taught by the "barefooted
teacher," and a few others in antebellum
days. I never saw him
barefooted in the school room, but
saw him very poorly clad. 1 never
saw him, what we would term,
dressed up.
Yes, he was eccentric, original,
a great fox and deer hunter. While
I was with him few of the l>oy8
took part in hunting excursions.

He was passionately fond
of music, kept two German professors

He was a fine performer on violin

who wished to learn, to dance. He
used to travel through the country
with his children during vacation,
giving musical entertainments. Col.
Robert Gage regarded Prof. Jones
as being one of the best teachers in
the state, and so expressed himself
to me over ">() years ago in Union.
Col. Gage was a competent judge of
a man's ability to fill any position
in life. J. \V. Jones was a hightoned,
patriotic gentleman of the
old school. The pernicious doctrine
imbibed from old Dr. Cooper was a
drawback to his otherwise useful
life. So far as 1 knew he was reticent
as to his religious belief. He
volunteered early in the war, but
his advanced age and the hardships
of camp life soon began to tell upon
his once iron constitution. In a
few months his patriotic spirit took
its flight to a realm beyond, wo
hope to the God who gave it.
