The Sunday School pic mic at Carswell
Institute last Saturday was quite pleas
ant affair. Speeches were delivered to a
large and attentive audience by Messrs.
T.. p. Smith, j., e. Breazeale and G. +.
Tolly, after which those present enjoyed
sumptuous repast. After dinner the
crowd collected in groups and all enjoyed
the day very much. Mr.. w. e. Walters
presided at the meeting. he, with
others, is doing a good work in building
up good Sunday School at this place,
where they have but recently planted the
School. The. speakers are loud In their
praises of the people Of. that section, and
say they never enjoyed more pleasant
occasion.
We would call attention to the adver-
tisement of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A. Green,
who propose opening an Art Drawing
Glass in Anderson. They have fine spec
linens Of their work, which may be seen
at their studio in Masonic Hall. The
Easley Messenger says Of Mrs. Green:
I'VE regret to state that Mrs. N. I. Green
has severed her connection with tho Eas-
ley High School as Music teacher. Fail
ing health, and desire to travel with her
husband, Col. Green, who is first-c1ass
artist, were the reasons which prompted
her to give up her position in the school.
Mrs. Green is. a clever, affable lady, and a
most excellent teacher. We are sorry to
lose the citizenship Of Col. Green and his
good lady. We hope success may attend
them whithersoever they may CO." Per-
sons desiring good portraits or to learn
the art of drawing should call and see
Col. Green.
For several days past that portion of
Main street near Messrs. Reed & Ste
phens' shops has been traversed very
cautiously By pedestrians, on account of
q very dangerous and pugnacious
.crowd" that had collected together in
the middle of the street. Now it is not
often that our policemen attempt an ar
rest but that they succeed. They have
come in contact with some pretty danger
ous characters, but have always come out
first best. Such was not the case, how
ever, last Tuesday, when Officers Fant
and Cummins were sent for by citizen
of that portion of the city with the re.
quest that they disband the aforesaid
"crowd." These officers responded to
the call with their usual promptness, but
on reaching the spot and viewing the
"crowd" they declined to attempt any
arrests. The officers had their pistols and
clubs, but under no circumstances could
they be induced to make an attack. AS
they stood there silently looking on, amid
the smiles of the spectators. they con.
cluded that they would rather tackle o
crowd of Comanche Indians than this
"crowd"-a live hornets nest about the
size of peck measure. The nest, how
ever, was destroyed Tuesday night.
Col. John G. Clinkscales, our energetic
and efficient School Commissioner, in
forms US that the County Normal Insti-
tute for Teachers will begin in this city
on Monday, August 10th, and continue
through the week. Prof. w. S. Morri-
son, Of Spartanburg, has been secured as
Principal. The Commissioners has also
made an effort to get Miss McCants, Of
Columbia, to assist Prof. Morrison, but
he has not vet heard from her. The eX-
ercises will begin at o'clock p. m. on
Monday and close at IL O'clock on Satur-
day. This will enable teachers to leave
their homes on Monday morning and re-
turn Saturday afternoon. Drs. Manly, Of
Greenyille, Grier, of Due West, and Dun
can, of Spartanburg, have been invited to
deliver addresses during the week. The
Commissioner says no public schools for
white children will be allowed to run
during that week. This Institute has
been gotten up especially for the teachers,
and they should take advantage of it, as
it will no doubt be of great benefit to
them. They will be at no expense, other
than for their board, which will not be
much. We hope to see every white teach
or in the County present. The Commits
sioner expresses desire that the trus-
tees of the public schools attend the ex-
ercises, and also extends an invitation to
all persons interested in education to be
present. The exercises throughout will
be very interesting.
The largest concourse of ladies and
gentlemen which we have seen at a pic
mic in this County in several years,
gathered at Lebanon on last Thursday.
At ii o'clock procession consisting of
the several schools, which united III the
pic mic, was formed under the direction of
Mr.. M. G. Smith, the Superintendent of
the Lebanon Sabbath School. The pro-
cession was we'll conducted, and showed
very large number of teachers and
scholars in the several schools. Upon
their return to the church, which is large
building, it was impossible for the audi.
ence to procure seats, as there were con- ;oI
siderably over 1000 persons present. The
exercises of the morning consisted Of in
teresting speeches to the Sunday Schools
by Mcssrs. L. P. Smith and ]. Belton
Watson, after which one Of the most
sumptuous pic mic dinners that We have
ever attended, was enjoyed by all who
were present. In the afternoon Col. R.
w. Simpson spoke to the Sabbath Schools,
and Mr.. E. B. Murray, by request of the
managers of the pic mic, made temper
ance address. which was followed by an
address from Rev. j.. S. Murray upon
both of the subjects of the day. After
the speaking, Mr.. L. P. Smith stated that
he desired an ex preston of oDiniOn upon
the prohibition question. and a rising vote
was taken which brought forth unani-
nous vote in favor of prohibition in this
County. The meeting throughout was a
most interesting and pleasant one. It
evinced the fact that the Lebanon Sabbath
School is in most flourlshing condition.
The citizens around Lebanon are a most
hospitable and progressive people, and
know how to make success of whatever
they undertake.
