A Fathers Foolish Promise.

A cent seems of little value, but if it
is only doubled few times it grows to a
marvellous sum. A young lady in. Port
land caught her father in a rash promise
by knowledge of this fact on her part.
She modestly proposed that if her father
would only give her l cent on one day
and double that amount on each success.
i've day for just one month, she would
pledge herself never 10 ask of him an-
o.her centiof money as:long as she lived.
Not stopping torun over the figures in
his head, and not supposing it would
amount to large sum, he was glad to
accept the offer at once, thinking it also
favorable opportunity to include pos
sible marriage dowry in the future. On
the twenty. fifth day he became greatly
alarmed lest if be complied with his own
acceptance he might be. obliged to- be
t'declared q bankrupt on his own petit
ton" But on the thirtieth day this
young lady demanded cnly the pretty
little sum of s5,36S, ,706.12. The aston
ished merchant was only too happy to
cancel the claim by advancing a hand
some cash payment for his folly in allow.
ing himself to give a bond-for his word
he considered as good as his bond
without noticing the consideration there.
in expressed, and by promising to return
to the old custom of advancing smaller
sums daily until otherwise ordered.

Personal Incident.

There are some scraps Of history we
occasionally meet floating round in the
newspapers that are of interest and will
bear repeating. 1t has been long time
since the following incident occurred, but
as it is not fiction but fact, it is embalm.
ed in the truth of history, and will be
repeated by the coming generations
especially of this State where it occurred.
The writer of this knew Mr.. Jordan we'll;
and studied law with him in the Office OF
Leitner & Vernon in Spartanburg in
1912. He was a poor young man, but
earnest, energetic and ambitious, and was
pobly battling with adverse circumstan'
ces, and fighting his way to eminence
and distinction. He won both, wealth
and fame and reached the position OF
Attorney General of Arkansas. Joseph
E. Brown, the other party to the transac.
.tion, is now United States Senator from
Georgia, and perhaps the wealthiest man
in the State. The following appeared in
the Eittle Rock GozAte, soon after the
death Of Mr.. Jordan, which occurred a
few years since.
"The late Pleasant Jordan, of this city,
who was at one time Attorney General
of the State, used to tell a characteristic
story of Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Jordan was at
one time, in his early years country
school teacher in South Carolina, earning
means to prosecute his purpose of study
ing law. One day there came to his
school house lean, guant, ungainly
youth, in possession of pair of young
steers, representing Sthe sum total OF his
worldly stores. z HeSnformed Mr.. Jordan
that he Wantedsto enter his school, but
hsd no money or property except the
two steers, which he had driven in from
distance.
With the aid of Mr.. Jordan, the young
man succeeded in disposing of the steers
for money enough to pay for his tuition
for one session, while kind hearted
planter in the neighborhood volunteered
TO board him gratis Hes started from
the very rudiments Of the spelling book,
and d4made ecreditable progress. At the
end of the session the two separated,
Mr.. Jordan entering the Office of prom.
inent lawyer of Spartanburg, and the
young man was going elsewhere to seek
his fortunes. Some years afterwards Mr.
Jordan, whohad immigrated to Arkansas,
becatneia prominent lawyer. Of our State,
and was elected to the position of Attor-
ney General, and about the same time
that gawky boy, whose name was Joseph
E. Brown, was elected Governor OF
Georgia"

THE SCHOOL MA'AMs.

A recent article in one of our leading
educational journals said that the highest
position lady can hold in our country
lady of the White House-had in
three instances been filled by school
teachers-Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Garfield and
Miss Cleveland; at the same time en-
Joining upon the lady teachers to cult.
yate greater love for their position, and
in gentle terms censuring them for the
natural aversion to the title, "School
Ma'am." Let us inquire into the facts
in the case. In the first place, three Of
twenty-five is not sufficiently great pro-
portion to form very strong argument; ;
besides, we're these, three ladies chose"
from the teachers ranks 10 preside over
the White House, or did it happen
through q natural chain of events? Is
il the rule or the exception that profess
ional mep, or men prominent in affairs
of State, select school ma'ams for their
wives, or do they more frequently take
the butterflies of fashionable society !?
How is it possible for ladies of spirit and
intelligence to cultivate the proper de-
gree Of respect for their profession, or
their title, when they are met at every
step with contempt, if not ridicule. Tho
writer Of this article remembers that
upon one occasion when passing through
the northern part of Pennsylvania on
The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1885-07-09

through train, the passengers suddenly
found themselves switched off to allow a
special to pass. Upon inquiry it was as.
certained that the special was conveying
q number of persons to an evening lec-
.ture at a county institute in a neighbor-
ing town. No sooner had the trainman
made the explanation than with one &C.
cord the male occupants of, the Car rush.
ed to the windows, and as the special
passed, the EXPLANATIONS, "Look at the
school ma'ams See the school ma'ams.T
could be heard from almost every OBJ:

the car was evident and righteous, for
they we'll knew that the EXPLANATIONS
were sarcasm instead Of; admiration I;
they knew, too, that the men who uttered
them prided themselves upon their own
gentility, and position in society; they
knew, too, that there were as nany gen.
.tlemen as ladies in the special train, and
that the school ma'ams were of necessity
already attending the institute-all OF
which only increased their contempt for
the miserable and misapplied expressions
of sarcasm. But this is not true of Penn
sylvania alone. 1t is an open secret that
many Of the fashionable summer resorts,
both at the seashore and near the large
cities, dislike and in some cases refuse to
advertise boarding for teachers "for fear
that the society ladies from the cities
will not patronize them" Nor is this
fact true of the public schools alone.
The writer we'll remembers that when
her classgradnated at - Seminary,
one of. the young ladies, who had mar
ried brother living in Western city,
desired to go there to teach % private
school. She wrote to her brother, asking
him to use his influence to secure ia
school. He replied that "he would be
glad to have her Dssit him, but he did not
wish herto teach, because if she did she
would not be admitted into the same
society in which he and his wife moved"
The brother was q railroad conductor,
and yet:his own sister would not be al.
lowed to- associate in the same circle if
she taught school,! Shade of Minerva,

equal in degree to our contemptsfor such
would-be aristocracyl And yet, in the
face of all these known facts, the lady
teachers of to-day are scensured for not
feeling more pride iI their position and
their title. Thewfiteris not teacher,
is not -women's rights advocate, but
longs to see wrongs righted and her sex

soutnern Men In the Union Army.

= The New. York Euening Post has ex-.
aminedsth statistics of the deaths in the
Union army during the; Confederate war
and obtained results that will surprise
ninesout Of every ten readers.
The first discovery is that Delaware, q
slave State, furnished larger number of
troops to the Union army, in proportion
to her available military population,
than any other State in any part Of the
county, The other Border States did
[sneafy as badly, or, as the Post puts it.,
"nearly as we'll" Maryland had 50,S16
men in the Union army. Kentucky had
79,025 and Missouri 109,111 West Vir.
ginia gave 32,068 soldiers 70 the Union
army and East Tennessee 31,092. Alto
gether, these six Southern States contri.
buted 315 5,2S2 men-to the defence Of the
Union, while 2S,045; came from other
Southern States, making agrand total of
1886, 1927 from that part of the country in
which slavery existed.
1t appears that almost one:eighth of
the Union army came from the South,
and the Post thinks that it is hardly too
much to say that the National cause
could not have sttinmphed without this
help. Sit says 81 With considerably hore
than 100000 nfefi taken from the fight
ing force for the Union, and given to the
Confederacy, the success of the Federal
Government could hardly have been
hoped for" Even if over one hundred
Thousand s"colored7 troops19 scape, from
the Southern States, the ex. Confederates
have the melancholy satisfaction = of
knowing that It was the 100000 white
men whom the Border States contributed
tc the Union cause who broke the back
of the Confederacy. Had the South
really been solid, the North would have
? been defeated. -
|, The conduct of the Union men in the
Border States is additional proof that the
war was not fought by the North for the
abolition of slavery: The Southerners
who went into the Union army came
from slaveholding States, and were as
deeply. interested in slave property as
the soldiers in the Confederate army
we're. It is hardly likely that they would
have taken up arms for the abolition of
slavery, which meant to them the loss OF
larges part. ofstheir own sproperty, or
thatof their relatives and friends. They
fought for the Union, and not for the
slayes.-Nevs and Courier.
