While l have no objection to Hiph
Schools, Colleges and an Education, do
not believe that it is necessary to eranduate
all OF our sons. We need men to till the
earth-practical men. Whilst manv good
old fathers are moving Heaven and earth to
educate their sons to give them position,
sending them off to College, moving to
towns and cities for that purpose, and incur.

you do not feel, whether you express it or not,
like the weeping Prophet over incorrigable
Israel, 30, that my head were water and
mine eyes fountain of tears, that might
weep day and night" over the indescretion
and dissipation Of my sons. Many of those
sons would be valuable at home at work, re-
deeming those old and dismal looking fields
from the sedge grass, pine bushes, briers and
gullies. Such employment would be we'll

Banking Profits.

Ihe Charleston Necs in correcting an erron.
eous statement which appeared in the New
berry Sun with regard to the excessive pro-
fits of the Bank makes the following statement
with reference, to their dividends, and the
amount of their gross profits
The banks pay semiannuai dividends. In
their monthly returns the .'rates and amounts
of the last dividend" are given, and of course
are repeated through six Statements" al.
though the account Of but ono dividend. For
instance the dividend Of tho Bank Of Ham.
burg for first ofJanuary last ("ts last divi-
dend'') was s25, ,oOO-5 per cent. semi annual
or ten per cent. per annum-making the "pro-
hts fifty thousand n year, instead of over i've
hundred thousand dollars. In the same way
those Of the Bank Of Newberry leach of its two
being Sl5,O0O) are $50, 900 per annum, instead
Of $3.50 900. In the Same way those of the
Bank Of Charleston are s252,s ,sG4, instead OF
"Sl ,5l3, ,s9s.64, "and eight per cent. instead OF
"ffty per cent" Yet these sagacious detectors
construed those returns and reports to mean
that the crates and amounts" of the semi.an-
nual dividends were paid out monthiya rs bank
profits and simply because they were publish
cd monthly in semi-annual reiteration of the
same item in the tables
| Besides their dividends, which usually vary
in this State from to 10 per cent. per annun,
the banks male enough to pay their expenses.
and also to lny aside some PRESERVED profits"
as safety fund to meet contingencies Their
gross profits, therefore, usually range from 6
to IS per cent q year, and in one or two in.

that, of all bis vauntings, it was, luckily for
him, the emptiest; that is, after he left

was satisfied. This does not look like an
babitual topper. His English acquaintances
in Italy were, he said in derision, all milk
sops. On the rare occasions of any of his
former friends visiting him, he would urge
them to have q carouse With him, but they
had grown wiser. he used to say that it,
