TEACHERS INSTITUTE.

NLr. Editor:
was indeed glad to notice, in your
last Issue, that You spoke ofa revival
OF the Teachers Institute in our
County. Orangcburg, in many re-
spccts, compares fuyorably with any
County in the State, and there is no
reason why she should be behind in
her educational interests or wanting
in educational facilities-no reason
why Orangeburg should not have
first class Teachers Institute.
The advantages arising from such
an organization of teachers, properly
conducted, are many and invaluable,
and, when once understood and ap-
prcciateG, must be apparent to every
one, especially to the teacher The
first and great object of every
organization of this character, is to
prepare more thoroughly the teach
er for his high and responsible posi-
ton. Every one who has, in sin
cerlty, assumed the duties and re-
sponsibillties of the school room.
with an earnest pnrp6seaiid desire to
discharge faithfully every duty, must
feel how utterly incompetent he is to
meet the thousandand one questions,
by which he is confronted, and to
overcome the difficulties 10y which he
is met ut every turn, some of which
seem almost insurmouDtablc; and
even when he has done his best, how
unsatisfactory. the result
The tcachei' needs the counsel and
advice of those of the profession who
have grown older in the cause, and
whose experience is moro extended
More than all, he needs the s, mpathv
of the common brotherhood. No
where can this advice he obtained
and this sympathy extended to a
greater advantage than in the Teach
ers Institute. Let our teachers,
both male and female, meet together
and enter into Il free cntcrchange o:
plans. methods and opinions, and the
result will be- we will. have better
teachers, better methods of teaching,
and the individual memhcrs of the
profession will be encouraged in

CONGRESSIONAL MANNERS.

Another most disgusting scene has
just been enacted in the Halls Of
Congress. 1t seems that the black
guardism of Sparks and Weaver was
not sufficient for one term. We now
have the specimen fcnt of q Con-
gresham coming into the Legisla-
tive chamber, to att, nj to the duties
of his countrymen who elected him,
most beautifully drunk. Mr.. Hooker
of mississippi was the hilarious mem
bcr, and 50 cXhilaratcd was his frame
of mind from too frequent potations
that he conceived it his duty to take
part in every debate. The Indian
bill was under discussion when he
entered, and he felt specially called
upon under the circumstances to
play 'bis lnjin". He disturbed the
House SO that it was impossible to at
tend to business until ut last his
friends succeeding in pcrsuading him
that hisScountry would not fall in his
absence, and he was taken out greatly
to the relief of the members who hap
pcncd to be sober.
The frequent repetition of these
scenes is disgrace to our country
and II fearful example to the rising
generation. Unfortunately there are
many who look for dccency and de-
corum in such high places, and NAV
be led to believe that such are
some ofthe accomplishments of "high
life" Billingsgatc and corner

TIE FENCE LAW.

Etlitnr Times:
! was pleased to sec in your paper
the extract giving the views of Gen.
M.W Gary on the fence law. There
is no doubt that two-thirds of the
best thinking people Of our County
agree with Gen. Gary in this, rs they
do in many other matters.
The cost of fencing out cattle is far
greater than the value of the cattle.
Besides this, it is unjust on the land
owners to he bnrdcncd with this ex-
ira expense to feed other peoples $
cattle. Nor will those who have no
land and Il few cattle be the losers
by the passage OF the law. These
people have most Ofthe labor to pei
form OF splitting the rails, and, the
fewer the rails to split, the less Willie
their work. The great dread Of the
law hy the laboring classes is tha:
they will have no place to keep their
cattle. This is mistake. Land
owners always want to hire aborers
and will do all they eau to please
them. 1t is very certain therefore
hat they will make provision for
their cattle in their pastures in order
to retain their labor, otherwise labor.
crs will go to other farmers who will
take care ofthcir cattle. The stock
law would be great benefit to our
country. Al would feel its benefits,
laborcr rs well as land owner, for
what helps one, helps. s.thc other too.
It's early yet, Mr.. Editor, to talk
about it, but it would he well for our
next Legislative ticket to be made IN
on this issue. We want the fence law
to fence in the stock. Let us have it.
What say our law makers.

A Correction.

In the issue of THE ADVOCATE for
Oct. 6, in giving the list of delegates
to the Republican county convention
we omitted Fox township alto
gether. This was entirely an over
sight, and the omission was only
called to our attention few days ago,
too late for correction in our last issue.
We very much regret that it should
have occurred at all and especially in
the case of the Fox delegates who
favored as with several compliment
tary votes in the convention, How
ever regret is of no avail now and the
best we can do is to give the names OF
the delegates, viz: Louis Iddings, and
II. NJ. Gross. Both these gentlemen
are staunch Republicans, and the last
men whom we would Intentionally
slight. We are very anxious to have
these gentlemen understand that the
omission was one that is liable to occur
i'm giving reports of conventions, and
was entirely unintentional. In fact
we could hardly believe it was so until
turning to our files the evidence was
there too plain to be denied.

Later returns from Ohio place
Governor Fosters majority as high
as 10000. The Republicans have also
carried both branches of the Legisla-
tnre. This will put an end to the
Democratic scheme of re-gerryman-
dering the Congre ssiOnal districts on
the plan of four years ago and will
make the re-districting of the State
under the new apportionment devolve
upon a Republican Legislature. The
Temperance people polled an unu-
sually large vote, which was so much
lost TO the Republicans, but the Demo
cratic candidate was too far behind to
profit by it. Bookwalter did not
prove a name to conjure with, not
withstanding it was associated with Il
! barrel. Old-school Democrats will not
vote for any recent pervert from the
Republican faith. Democratic Con-
ventions will learn this fact after a
few more defeats. Mr.. Bookwalter
| deposited his first Democratic ballot
last November when he voted for
General Hancock. Even in the
Greeley campaign, when so many Re-
publicans lost their grip on their
party, Mr.. Bookwalter voted for
Grant and Wilson. AS a Republican
his merits, if he had any, were un-
recognized, but as a Democrat, with
an open barrel, his fitness for high
executive office was Immediately per-
ceived by the men who made the
nominations. The voters, took 6
different view of the case, however
and Bookwalter may be expected now
to drop quickly and permanently out
of sight.-Philadelphia Press.
