Teachers Convention.


Mr. EDlToR.-Permit me through your col
umns to give faint description of the Spartan
burg Teachers Convention.
| arrived just in The midst of the discussion
upA 1.-The best text Books" and judging from
the manner in which some of the young teach
ers spoke on the subject, they must have real
lied the ruth of Soomon's saying "Of making
books there is no end;' in other words 'aey
went tooth end ioe-Iratt for -staadafass
of text books. The forenoon session closed by
opening the question box, in which were placed
some puzzling questions.
After dinner, which in our quarters were quite
huge, the Convention convened again and con-
tinucd some interesting discussion until FIVE
o'clock. There was just enough levty to make
everything lively. One of the young men,
speaking Of the encouragemcnts Of the teacher,
said he was very much encouraged by the pro-
gre Of his students at one time mother told
him that she believed he would kill her daugh1
ter by making her study too hard That, Of
course, 'rds peyy encouraging. I would not like
for him to get my sweetheart into his school.
special hour was set apart in the afternoon,
for Capt. H. s. Thompson, who made strong ap-
peal in behalf of public schools.
AT five tho Convention adj ourned until eight
o'clock, when there was to be an informal meet
| ing and n star gazing; provided the night would
permit. At eight every ono on hand
promptly and the meeting passed off very pleas
| antly under the supervision of DR.. Carlisle, who
always makes his undertakings n success. The
night, however, was too cloudy to accomplish
anything among the stars this was quite dis
appointment as the young men anticipated nice
time, talking to their sweethearts of the pretty
stars they had seen. SoTe how, pretty stars, q
bright moon and love, go together-of course
pretty women too. The ladies, also, were dis
appointed as they wished to hear this nice talk
and get gaze ut the moon through the telescope
which was promised them by DR.. Carlisle.
The second day was like unto the first, full of
interest, full of pleasure full of work, and plenty
of dinner. The whole affair was we'll conducted
by DR.. Carlisle, and of immense value to tho
teachers of Spartanburg. By this Convention
they could all compare their different modes, see
their several successes and failures and point
out remedies for the latter. They could mngle'
together, become more social, and aid each other
| in their common work.
Prof. johnson, with a choir of the fairest
| flowers of Limestone, iaterspersed sweet music
through the whole. Why not have something
similar in Union. West Springs has been sug-
gescd as the next place to meet.

Mr.. EDITOR Since l last wrote you, there
has been great religious revival at the Bap-
tist (Pacolet) church, under the preaching Of
Rev. Il. j. Taylor an ndefatigablo and jealous
servant of Christ. Forty-six acccssions were
made to The church, by baptism, and two or three
N~elssiiIU,o restored to fellowship.
EeYivals seem to be spreading among all the
churches, and Zion is awaking and putting
on her strength and Jerusalem Lcr beautiful
garments. But still it is seriously to be feared
that many in the coming day will, with anguish
and remsrse, have to say, the "harvest is past
the summer is ended, and we are not saved"
We're half the labor bestowed for the ..meat
that cndurcth unto everlasting lifc,' that is
gwen for the meat that perisheth, we would,
no doubt, have n much richer, wiser, aid hap

had the pleasure of attending ;he Teachers
Convention of Sparlanburg, held at Limestone
Springs. This has become an established insti-
tuition and it is growing rapidly in interest
every year.
By frequent interchange of thought the
mind is advanced, and its capacities and powers

there is safety. Thus in these conventions, the
"isuoh oi age ana experience IS unfolded and
of truth, days should speak and multitude of
years teach wisdom" At each annual session
the subject of school discipline is warmly dis
cussed; but, for the most part, it will be found
that the schools which have the best discipline
are made up of students in communities where
parents discipline their own homes MANY
people think their children are not properly set
out in life till they are sent away from home to
be taught manners and good behavior. This,
perhaps, in many instances, is well considered,
as the children are deficient in these grand re-
qusites, not having been instructed in them at
home by precspt nor example.
Weather dry, crops somewhat injured. No
grounds Tor complaint on our part, but ample
reasons for gratitude and praise.

a II0RRID DEATH FROM IIYDRormoRIA.-On
last Wednesday Bci Thomson died ut this place
from hydrophobia. His sufterings were awful
beyond all description. During his sickness he
was visited by hundreds of people. This was
the first case of the kind ever known in this
county, or in the State, we believe Ben was about
fifty years old and very respectable and we'll
to-do colored man, Democrat of loug stand

time lie was bitten eight or ten other parties in
this section were also bitten by the same dog,
but as vet no new cases of hydrophobia has

DEATH or A WAR IIoRsE.-"Celcste," Colonel
Cowards favoritc mare, died last Tuesday aged
about 81 years. She served him faithfully in
the Virginia campaigns from March, 1862, until
the close of the war; and received three wounds
in as many different battles-two of the wounds
being severe. Faithful in the war, she was
less scrviceable in the more quiet walks of peace,
and fitting recognition of her fidelity her
master gave her n decent burial.-yorkrHc en-

or Greenvlle and buy the cotton that is raised
in Laurens and Union at those points, and
three-fourths of the money paid out for it is

Union does not expect, through the route we
propose, to be benefited by the trade from Lau-
rens. Like that county, we have no great mar
kct facilities to offer but we prop ,se to go hand
in hand with Laurcns to put both counties on
equal footing, in market and other facilities,
with the counties aroundus. We ask our ncigh
bors of Laurcns to look calmly, before they leap
into an enterprise that hereafter may prove too
arbi trary for their good.

dictmcnts already brought against the cx-oilicals
of this State. The catalogue gives twenty-five
indictments upon which 'truc bills have beer
found already, and we are informed the half
has not been reached yet. So conclusive is the
evidence against Woodruff and Jones, Clerks of
the Senate and House Of representatives, that
those worthless have agreed to make restitution
to the State for the frauds they commjtcd.-
They have turned over property, the estimated
value of which is 500, 900, but Woodruff and
his partners claim that it is worth 100000.
