The Laurensville Herald, discussing

'Now, as accepting accomplished facts,
therc can be no antagonism to the reso-
lntions of the recent press convention.
But those resolutions call convention
of the people opposed to radical rule, to
assemble in Columbia on the 18th June
next. We have either to nominate q
State ticket or to concede the State Go
vernment to the radicals for another
term of two years. We hold that every
County in the State should be repre-
sented in that convention, and nomi-
nation be made, policy agreed upon,
and the battle fought bravely and per-
sistently. Without stout fight, our
own little Spartan band will become de-
moralized and scattered"

repeated editions. We extract the fol-
lowing from the publishers preface:
In these Readers the pupil is led on
step by step in easy gradation. We
deem it not improper to refer to fow of
the advantages aimed at in preparing
these Readers:
l. The enlistment Of n popular senti-
ment in favor of home enterprise, which
is now beginning to show itself all over
the South.
2. To remedy the evil everywhere
complained of in our schools of con-
tinuul change of text-books-a costly
habit, and one which Injuries the schools
by preventing the children from being
put into classes. A series of home
Readers, it was supposed, would be used
to great degree, and this serious evil
thus avoided.
8. Economy; the popular series of
Readers now in use being too long.
This series consists of fewer numbers
than those generally used, and it is be-
lieved that these numbers are sufficient;
while, if the system was generally used
in our schools, the sum saved to parents
and children would amount to many
Thousand dollars annually.
Finally, no pains or expense has been
spared to mako tho series acceptable to
our schools and families, and worthy Of
their support.
