The First Newspaper In South Carolina.

Reading the new life Of Franklin, by
Bigclow, a very interesting book, we
print the following paragraph, which will
entertain our readers, as it is q scrap of
history not generally known:
TN 1888, l sent one Of my journey
A'men to Charleston, S. G., where a print
Ger was wanting. furnished him with
"a press and letters, in an agreement of
partnership, by which was to receive
3'onc-third Of thc::profits of the business,
paying onc-third Of the expense. He
1'was a mar Of learning and honest, but
Ignorant in matters Of account, and
<'though he sometimes made me remit
stances. l could get no account from him
enor any satisfactory state Of u part
A'nership while no lived. In his dcceasc,
f'thc partnership was continued by his
-widow, who being born and bred in
~'Ireland, where, as have been inform
"ed, the knowledge Of accounts makes
"a part Of female education, she not on
~'ly sent me as close n statement as she
1fcould find Of the transactions past, but
continued to account with the greatest
"'regularity and cxactness every quarter
A'afterwards, and managed the business
with such success, that she not only
brought up rcputably a family of chill
~'drcn, but, at the expiration Of the term,
twas able to purchase Of me the print
ling house and establish her son in it,
Bigclow's Franklin, vol. i. p. 1928.
The philosopher mentions this as a
good reason, why our daughters should
be instructed in this branch Of cduca-
tion, as likely to be Of more use to them
and their children, in case Of widow
hood, thon either music or dancing.
While we agree with the writer in rec
~.ommcnding this branch Of education,
we do not see why music and dancing
should be neglected. The harmony Of
sweet sounds and the poetry Of motion,
contribute MS much to the enjoyment Of
life, as the ability to keep accounts does
to the regularity and order Of house
Keeping, when the husband is alive
andsettling up his estate after he is
dead.
Our motive, in referring to the en-
tract, is not to criticise, but to notice n
scrap Of history. We suppose this to
be the first newspaper established in
the State, but as neither the name of
the paper, nor Of the editor are given,
we are not able to verify the statement.
One good purpose is served, a very in
structivc and readable book is brought
to the notice Of our subscribers.
