UNIFORMITY.

The law requires the State Board
Of Examiners to adopt uniform
Series of text books for use in the
public schools. A short time ago,
the Board did adopt a catalogue of
text books, about as uniform as
clowns costume. For instance,
following the series adopted by
the Board, one teacher may use
Appleton's readers, another Nc
Gufey's, another Reynolds, and
still another. Swinton's. There is
uniformity with a vengeance! If
there is public school teacher in
this State who could possibly adopt
a less uniform series of readers,
we move that ne be at once elevat-
ed to the State Chair of stupidity
or made member of the State
Board of Examiners. Series" does
not mean Catalogue"

one in favor of another. Judging by
all these, DR.. Memories was the hus-
band and father of lovely and happy
family. In both these relations he was
gentle, kind. and indulgent. He raised
seven children; but only three daugh-
ters, viz, Mrs. Johnson of Alabama,
Mrs. DIR. Grier of Due West S. c., Mrs.
Cofield of Uuion County, S. c., and
one step-son, j. G. S. Brown of New
berry, survive him. They all bear a
tenderand loving testimony to these
facts.
No man excelled him in affability,
hospitality and liberality. Possessed
of mind naturally strong, he had
cultivated and stored it well; so that
his conversation was highly attractive
and instructive. His hospitality was
literally unbounded. At his door the
visitor always met cordial welcome,
made with u grace and manner that at
once bespoke the gentleman OF the
truest type Of the old school. OF his
cheerful liberality, let the enterprises
OF his day bear witness; and Of his
neighbors who needed his endorsement
or other aid in pecuniary matters,
many both living and dead can testify.
During the last ten or fifteen years
of his life he was afflicted with paraly-
sis. As is generally the case with this
disease. though at first comparatively
light, it increased in severity until
finally his sufferings were great, being
practically unable to walk for several
years before his death. As he did all
his afliicti0ns and misfortunes, he bore
it with Christian patience and forti-
tude. He was always cheerful but it
was not difficult for his friends to see
that he anticipated death from it, even
while the summons was yet long way
off. He literally obeyed the Saviour's
Injunction, ''Watch therefore for We
know not what hour your Lord doth
come.'' When, therefore, the sum-
mons did finally reach him in the
solemn watches of the night of August
22pd, 1883. it found him prepared to
leave forever the scenes of earth. with
that quiet Christian resignation that
can say, Il have finished my course, l
have kept the faith: henceforth there
is laid lip for me a crown of righteous
ness with the Lord, the righteous
Judge, shall give to ME at that day"
- Il i I L
he often requested the 23rd Psalm to be
sung for him. What a comfort for the
dying to feel that they can appropriate
the promises of this sweetest of all the
Psalms. Probably the last words he
was heard to say were in answer to an
inquiry, at time he was making low
noise as of light moaning, whether he
wanted anything. He replied, Only
heaven. ........ w. II.

FARMERS AND FERTILIZERS.

The farmers Of Pickens County
held a mass meeting a few days ago
and adopted resolutions requesting
the fertilizer companies, merchants
and others who have made advances,
to make a reasonable reduction on
all such advances They also de-
cided, in view of the short grain
crop, that it would be patriotic in
"those citizens engaged in the dis
tilling of grain to discontinue the
same as soon as practical" We
sympathize with the Piekens farm
ers, but the drouth was not more
disastrous in their county than
elsewhere throughout the State.
There can be no wrong in asking
those who made advances for agri-
cultural purposes to grant another
years indulgence, and in many
cases il will be best for all interested
to do so /; but the farmers have no
right to demand a reduction The
guano merchant, like other trades
men, exposes bis wares for sale,
but compels nobody to buy and
the debt for fertilizers should
be sst5led in a satisfactory manner,
if possible-in an honest way, at
all events. The boy who owes
for a bag of shot, would hardly ask
for a reduction in the price agreed
upon, on the ground that he used
the shot without bagging any game.
But it would be as reasonable for
him to do so, as for a farmer to try
to eyade the payment of a guano
debt on the ground that the fertii-
szer was expended without benef-
cial results. The guano merchant
is no more responsible for the
drouth, than the hardware merchant
is for the poor craftsmanship Of the
boy. While this is true, it is also true
that many men will not be able to
pay out, and if those who have
made advances can see their way
clear to make reasonable reductions,
or to grant a years indulgence, we
shall rejoice with the farmers.
We agree with the Pickens farm
ers that it would be patriotic in
those engaged in the distilling Of
grain to discontinue the same" We
need the corn, but we do not need
whiskey. A drouth that would
leave the distilleries dry would be
an-unlooked for blessing

THE ADDRESS ADOPTED BY THE
LOUISVILLE CONVENTION. sa

LOUISVILLE, Ky, September 27..
The National Colored Conven-
ton late last night adopted the fol-
lowing address =. .a 15@ 5,..t
The National Convention Of
colored men assembled respectfully
present the following as embracing
and presenting their views and SEN
timents : --..
First. That we are grateful for
and rejoice in the miraculous eman-
clpation that came to our race
twenty years ago. The shock Of
embattled arms was the lullaby of
a nation born in a day. We can
not forget the great sacrifices Of
the women and heroic men who
made possible the struggle in which
treason and slavery were consigned
to common sepulchre. nor would
we be unmindful of the measure of
devotion and patriotism that white
and colored soldiers rendered the
nation. ... a....
Second. That we are not insen-
sible to the fact that the Congress
Of the United States has spread
upon the statute books many laws
calculated to maxi us secure in our
rights as citizens. Nor would we
be forgetful Of the magnificent
amendments to the Constitution in
tended to render forever impossible
the crime Of human slavery.
Third. We do not ask for any
more class legislation. We have
had enough of this. But We do be-
Eeve that many Of the laws intended
to secure to US our rights as citizens
are nothing more than dead letters.
In the Southern States almost
without exception, the colored peo-
pie are denied justice in the courts,
denied the fruit Of their honest
labor, defrauded of their political
rights at the ballot-box, sh1S out
from learning trades. cheated out of
their civil rights by innkeepers and
common carrier companies, and left
by the States to an inadequate op-
portunity for educational and gen.
eral Improvement.
Fourth. We regard the labor
question, education and sound moral
training paramount to all other

A CHINESE FUNERAL.

PuLADELPHIA,r September 3d.
Hog Chuck, a Chinaman, who died in
the almshouse on Wednesday last.
was buried to-day with interesting
ceremonies. The body was encased
in a handsome walnut casket, with
a plate on the lid bearing the date
of the birth and death Of the dead
Celestial. The bottom of the casket
was filed with Chinese coins, and
the body was covered with peculiar
Chinese perforated paper with let
tering on it. At the grave the Rev.
Mr.. Lyle repeated the Lords Prayer
in Chinese and English, after which
number of ribbons which were
bound about the body were removed
and thrown upon the coffin. The
casket was then lowered and while
the gravel was being shovelled upon
it the Celestials cast meats, rice,
tea, baked dough, roast chicken and
q black bottle among the dirt. On
the way to the grave Chinaman
seated beside the driver threw rice
and paper along the ground travers-
ed. Ten thousand people witnessed
the ceremonies at the grave. It
was intended to have had some ser,
vice in the Church Of the Epiphany
Episcopal,) but the crowd was so
great that it was impossible to get
into the church. Mayor King re-
fused to allow the New York Chi
nese band to 90 in the procession
and the police stopped the fire eere-
monies in front Of the house from
which the deceased was taken to
the grave. Nearly all Of the Chi
nese in the city attended the funeral.
