70. THE TEACHERS OF ANDERSON
COUNTY.

The Editor of the INTELL1GENcER
has very kindly turned over to me one
column of his excellent paper to be used
in such way as will best promote the
educational interests of the County. |
propose 10 make this The Teachers Col.
unan." AS educators, many of US nave
long felt the need Of some sort of organ
ization among the teachers. Ifall the
! teachers Of the County could meet once
1 i month, or oftener, and discuss the hun.
dreds Of questions relevant to school
government and successful teaching,
great good would be the result; but such
meetings are impracticable. and the next
best thing ,hatcan be done is to commu'
nicate through this column our dificul
! ties, experiments, failures and successes.
s.The County examinations have done
much 2 says our State Superintendent OF
Education, ''in the way of improving the
teachers, but they have their limits.
While they disclose, in many instances,
q shameful want of the most elementary
knowledge on the part of the teacher.
they do not supply that want" The
TeashersaC Column, with all that may be
crowded into il, can not wholly supply
that want, hut it can do great deal Ia
that direction. We trust every teacher
in the County, then, will feel special
interest in it. Let us make good use Of
1T, our object being mutual benefit snd
sedifcation. Let the teachers iu the pub
lie schools not feel that they must receive
alland give nothing. The teacher occu-
pyiing the humblest position may have
tried some plan which would be gladly
adopted by the best teacher in the Coun !
5ty. From such experienced teachers as
Messrs. Lander, Ligon, Reed, Aver, Lat
inner, Langston and Watkins, the teach
ers Of fewer years in the honorable call
ing may learn much about the art os
teaching, while these gentlemen, ever
ready tolearn, may get valuable sugges-
stiops from:the humblest of their profes,
sion. I,kink ! know what l do when ]
say that any one of these gentlemer,.
whose names have been mentioned, would
most cheerfullY do anything that would
az all benefit a brother teacher, and as
;cheerfl!ly receive instruction from what
ever source itmay come. All that has
been said, though addressed particularly
to the male teachers, is intended, of
course. for:the females as well. Trusting
that I may receive the hearty CO.
operation of every earnest teacher in the
County in this undertaking, I am, re.
spectfuHy,
J. G. CLINKscALEs.

Every teacher should have The Naiad,
an educational paper, published monthly
by the President of the Williamson
Female College. DR.. Lander is a ripe
scholar, an experienced teacher, and
knows what to print. The column, Of

more than the cost Of the entire paper

William Datcher is doing very poor
work, not because Of incompetency, but
for the reason that he has seventy two
children crowded into room which
measures about twenty by twenty-four
feet. The waste of.,ime and money is
bad enough, but more disastrous result
of such an effort is the formation of the
habit of Indifference, inattention and in.
subordination. Let the Honea Path
trustees look after this school.

Ben Franklin's Son.

Not long since, in conversation with
friend, who was graduate of Harvard,
and man Of good general information,
made mention of Dr. Franklin's son.
He was astonished You don't mean
our Dr. Ben, do you?" assured him |
did. And | have since found that
great many we'll resd Americans are
ignorant of that fact-Lhat is, that
Franklin had son in public life.
This sons name was William. He
was born in Philadelphia in 1871 In
his youth he was as fond of books as his
father had been. Through his fathers
influence, he obtained several very Iucra-
tive offices, and in l7G2. he was appoint
ed bv the king, governor of New Jersey,
which office he retained until the break.
ing out of the war. And here, sad to re-
late, he was as earnest in his support ct
the royal authority. as was his father in
support OF liberty and independence.
Alter various adventures on this side,
in all of which he was bitter against
the Patriot host of his native land, ne
made his way to England, where he re.
manned until he died, recipient of
many favors at the hands of George III.
He died in 1918, at the age of eighty two.
As might be supposed, his opposition
to the cause of liberty, so dear TO the
heart of his father, produced an estrange-
ment between them. For years they
had no intercourse. In 1874 William
wrote to his father, and, after the Doc.
tors death, The letter was found and
published. In reply to that letter, DIR.
Franklin said: "Nothing has ever hurt
me so much. and affected me with such
keen sensations of regret, as to find my
self deserted in my old age by my only
son; and not only deserted but to find
him taking up arms against me in cause
wherein my good fame, fortune and lie
were at stake"
In his will, also, the Doctor allIdes to
the part his son had acted. After max
ing him few simple requests, he adds:
The part lie acled against me in The late
war. which is of public notoriely, will
account for my leaving him no more of
an estate he endeavored to deprive me
Of" The political course of this son

TIE TAPESTRY WEAvERs.
ANSoN G. CHESTER.

Let lis learn New Year lesson, no Drawer
lesson can be.
From the ways of the tapestry weavcrs, on
the other side of the sea.
Above their head the pattern hangs, they
study with it care,
And as to and fro the shuttle leaps, their
eyes are fastened there.
They lell this curious thing besides. of the
patient, plodding weaver:
He works on the wrong side evermore, but
works fnr the right side ever.
1t is only when the weaving, stops, and the
web is loosed and turned,
That he sees his real handiwork, that his
marvellous skill is learned.
Ah, the sight of its delicate beauty! 1t
pays him for all his cost
No rarer, daintier work than his was ever
done by the FROST
Then the Master brngelh him golden hire,
and giveth him praise as we'll,
And how happy the heart of the weaver is,
no tongue but his own can tell.
The years of man are the looms Of God, let
down from the place of the sun,
Wherein we all gre weaving till the mystic
web is done.
Weaving blindly but weaving surely, each
for himself his fate;
We may not see how the right side looks,
we can only weave and wait.
But looking above for the pattern, no
weaver hath need to fear.
Only let him look clear into Heaven-the
Perfect Pattern is there.
If he keeps the face of the Saviour forever
and always in sight,
His toll shall be sweeter than honey, and
his weaving is sure to be right.
And when his task is ended, aud the web
is turned and shown,
He shall hear the voice of the Master; it
shall say to him, well done!"
And the white-winged angels of Heaven,
to bear him thence shall come down,
And God shall give linn gold fur his hire
not coin, but crown

A Narrow Escape.

One day this week Frank Wilcox,
the crack shot of East Greenwood,
came very near killing poor wood
chuck from the back door of his house.
He shot FIVE times, the chuck never
leaving the field. His cartridges giving
out he threw down his gun and with
the assistance of his boy and faithful
dog succeeded in holelng Mr.. Chuck
in less than five minutes and Frank,
son and dog never received bruise or
scratch. Franks gun is Pieper Liege
Pat,g No. 1868 bought of Unger in
Port Huron for $3.50. Unger keeps
them on sale.
III. j. claims to he the father of
Frank and says that he feels proud Of
that boy and would not have stood in
the place of the chuck during that
pusilade for less than solid dollar.
notwithstanding the extreme hard
times. The distance as measured by
the father. an eye witness to the whole
affair is just 16 rods, 81 feet. Ifany-
one discredits this statement let them
call on the father at Franks dwelling
house and he will be pleased to show
them the hole they drove the chuck
into.
