School teaching Of late years has be-
come q much more we'll defined profess
sion than il, was q score Of years ago.
The ..object SYSTEM of teaching in U
public schools has been found BY all odds
the best and most prolific of satisfactory
results, and it should be adopted gener-
ally throughout the country. This sys-
tenn requires, in the beginning: tha me
pupil, however young, should use his
own mind actively. He cannot make
a parrot-like answer, but must think n
compare. He is taught natural history
by observing. and then carefully tracing
out the apparent purposes OF each quail
|ity or peculiarity he sees. It il wonder
full how much science a child, almost IN,
consciously, thus o acquire. An
the various primary branches are thus
equally made more interesting, and the
child trained to observe and to work out
its own way. Such teaching is indeed
no. sinecure. It j. very different thing
from the old humdrum. mechanical
msthods.% Every nightthe object teach
er. even of small children, finds it ne
cessary to study and practice her task.

The result of democratic rule in Geer-
gia, according to Wade Hampton, is
that the negroes have been protected in
their rights and given equal advantages
with the whites in industry and educa-
ton; they have accumulated property
to the amount of Sc, OOO, 900 in real es-
tate; they have secured comfortable
homes, and they vote almost solidly with
the democrats. This accounts for the
increased democratic majority. Many
negroes in South Carolina are anxious
to secure for themselves similar bless
ings, and will vote accordingly, it their
radical task-masters will allow them to.
Our farmers are beginning to see the
advantages of cheap freight from this
point, and stock and grain are coming
here from a distance OF from twelve to
fifteen miles. We have the best advan-
tage OF any point on the river, and the
best warehouses to store our grain in.
and good reliable men to handle it, who
will extend every accommodation in
their power.-[Waverly Sentinel.
