We notice that those Democratic
editors who have received office, are
particularly extravagant in praise OF
Congressman Wilson. This is ex-
pected nor would we abate par
ticle of Mr.. Wilson's good qualities.
They say he is a gentlemen; We
grant it /: an honest and sincere man,
we grant that an able man and
student ; we grant that.
But all these things are true Of
Gen. Flick as well.
He is a very able lawyer, and Is 2
man of powerful intellect and OIL
great force. In these respects De
has, perhaps, no superior IN the
State. And these qualifications are
those which must be possessed ol
any man who will contend for o
leading place IN so large, noisy, able
and memorable body as the Nation

most intimately, as he had practleea
in his courts for years. Judge hose

l ell The Good Work Continue.

The Piedmont Inspector has ar
ranged to have a teachers column,
under the editorship Of Mr.. j. NJ.
.TTaukersley. The editor. in his first
issue. tells US that he has "begun
this work simply as an incentive to
the teachers, pupils, &C., of our local
schools" A good motive. May the
editor live long and his work prosper.
Thare are now IN the State three
newspapers that devote part # their
space 20 school work. These papess,
in the order in which the teachers
column was established, are the An
derson Intelligencer, the HERALD
AND NEWS and the Piedmont In
spector. If this new feature prove
to be a good one, the other county
papers will adopt it. The editors OF
the teachers columns in these three
papers should exert themselves to
their utmost to convince everyone
that the teachers column is a public
necessity and should have a place in
every county paper in the State.

Grape Culture.

Ieuclose brief letter cut from the
New York Journal Of Commerce relative
to wine and grape culture in California,
which hope you may find space to re-
publish, as applicable to our situation at
the present time. 1t may serve to con-
vince some of their error, who think
that there is no field among us for an
extensive grape culture. From expert
ments already made and being made in
our State, notably near Columbia, Green
vile and Walhalla, doubt il California
has any better soil or climate for grape
culture than a large portion OF our State
from Columbia to the mountains, while
we have the advantage over her of near
ness to the eastern markets for the sale
OF grapes as fruit. Why then should we
not compete successfully with her in
this important and rapidly growing in
dustry? I am very decidedly of the
opinion that the money to be spent by
the State Agricultural Bureau to en-
courage the production of tobacco, would
be more wisely spent in encouraging the
production of wine. Besides, regard
the grape and wine industry as perhaps
the most important temperance move
ment we can adopt. Give us good and
pure wine at 90 to 40 cents gallon and
we will see far less ''beastly intoxica-
tion." I send also clipping from the
News and Courier on the same subject.

"The Poor we Have Always
With US.''

Coming down through the long aisle
OF nineteen centuries ago we hear
Christ speaking to us'-'always with
u.s. Age, though no beggar, stands at
thy door with outstretched hand asking
aims. accomplishing sufferers crouch by
freless hearths and plead with burdened
hearts and clasped hands, God have pity
on the poor The icy blast is not so
cruel or pitiless as the selfish soul who
can sit amid warmth and plenty quite
content, without one thought OF care for
destitute helpless age or shiyering child
hood. Such objects for Christian SYM
pathy are in plenty in every community,
and can easily be found If q little con-
sideraticn and thought be given this im-
portant duty. There are individuals
who have the poor always with them, 10
the highest possible Christian sense, al
ways ready to relieve the needy, always
ready, out of their abundance, to give
unto the poor. On this roll of honor we
place the name OF Mrs. C.. Mower, and
commend to the charitable Of this town
this lady who viii place their gifts where
they are most needed. SYMPATHY.

There was nice little tilt in the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington on last Friday between Mr..
Boutelle, of Maine, and Mr. Wise OF
Virgins, on a resolution calling on
the secretary OF the navy for informa-
tion relative to alleged erasures of
certain inscriptions and the dismissal
of Union soldiers at the Norfolk navy
ward, with an amendment extending
the inquiry to dismissals made at the
navy yard and lighthouse district at
Norfolk during the terms of the I'M
mediate predecessors of the present
secretary of the navy" An attempt
was made by the republicans to make
political capital out of it and revive
the war blood for campaign purposes.
But in our opinion Mr. Wise got de-
cldedly the best of Mr. Boutelle and
threw a quietus over the whole thing.
Read it for yourself. twill be found

they may desire to have discussed.
A full attendance of teachers is con-

but should the notification, by mis-
carriage, fail to reach you, come any
how. Every teacher owes it to his
pupils aud his patrons to attend these

Judge Hayes, OF Iowa, has recently
ruled that when witness is asked if
he has made purchases Of liquor, he
cannot he made answer it, as it would
have the effect to criIninate himself.
By the laws of Iowa it is q crime to
sell liquor, and the party who pur-
chases necessarily becomes a party
to the crime, for without purchaser
the liquor seller could never commit
the crime, or violate the law. This
ruling will no doubt create some stir
among the prohibitionists, if the Cir
cult Judge is sustained by the Su-
preme Court. We suppose the pro-
hibition people will carry the case to
the Supreme Court.

"The Thoughts We are Think
ing Our Fathers Would
Think"

This question has often seriously
pressed us for an answer, What must
/ do to become q successful teacher !?
A complete answer would be o very
full one. This we Shall not attempt
to give, but shall content ourself
with emphasizing one phase alone Of
the answer.
To be successful teacher, then,
other essentials being understood,
one must maintain the ground al
ready won, and make daily advances
in the direction of progress and per-
fection OF method. The theory and
the practice Of teaching in all we'll
regulated schools are as different
from the schoolroom methods of a
score of years ago as are The social
institutions of the South Of 'S6 differ
ent from the social institutions Of the
South of 80.
Rip Van Winkle was not more
sorely puzzled or ludicrouSly discom-
flied when he returned 10 lis native
town after his long sleep of twenty
wears, than would Ichabod Crane be
to visit the schools OF the Empire
State and witness the methods of ms
successors in contrast with the stern
manners and crude methods Of q
former age, when the dullness ot a
drowsy summers day was interrupt
ed now and then by the authoritative
voice Of the master, in tone OF
menace or command; Or, peradvcn-
ture, by the appalling sound of the
birch, as he urged some tardy loiterer
along the fowery path Of knowledge
The world has been advancing
most rapidly during the late years,
and the science of pedagogics has
kept pace with our modern civiliza-
tiou. The pupil who fails to master
his task, when under an efficient in
structor, must now be hopeless dui'
lard, and the master who fails to
meet the troubles Of his average pupil
must now be disrobed and retired.
So completely may one prepare him
self, and so ample are all facilities
"to rear the tender thought" that the
wonder grows when we find men and
women of the present age who are
contented to teach as their fathers
taught; and who are willing to have
it said Of them.
THE thoughts We are thinking, our
fathers have thought
But the day has come When our
teachers must realize the necessity of
using the best text books, of securing
the most complete appliances, and OF
the pupils highest mental,
moral and physical development.
The day has come when the rod of
the school-master and the rage Of his
should be used alone to
furnish us with material for writing
romances Of school life in the olden
time; and when the traditiona! slate
frame, that used so often to ornament
the school boys neck, while the frag-
ments of slate lay around his feet
like so many distracted ideas, should
be used to make a bonfire with which
to enlignten this generation as to the
new school boy and his new life.

A Lesson TO South CaroIlna
Among the many drawbacks 20 the
progress of the people Of souts, CaTolila
there is none that is more retarding tllaIl
the credit SYSTEM that is 50 extensively
in vogue all over the Ssata and among
all classes of its citizens Men who have
cash in their pockets ask for credit
simply because they can get It, ther
when the person from whom they thus
buy needs the money to mees his bills
they perhaps shave not got the eash''
then; they have spent It IN some folly
or luxury, aud, moreover, they get mad
with the creditors often for dnnning
them. The consequence is, the poo; in
dulgent merchant, when bis bills With
his northern creditors fall due, unless ne
has been exceedingly fortunate in col
lecting, cannot meet hts payments and
is forced TO an assignment, whereas, had
he adhered firmly to cash basis, in
common with his brother merchants, he
would have had the wherewitll to meet
his bills; or, had he not the money and
was still forced to assign, his goods
would have been on his shelves as assets
with which to save his credit and pay
his honorable debts.
AS long as South Carolina merchants
nersist in giving credit at random, SO
long will South Carolina merchants, By
their failures and assignments, continue
to undermine the credit. depreciate the
advantages and destroy the honor Of the
old palmetto State" thereby keeping
many progressive spectators Of North
ern States and Europe from coming
within her borders, and keeping many
thousands OF dollars away from her that
would otherwise, perhaps, be invested
in their midst TO the upbnilding OF their
communities and the individual incre-
ment OF their own wealth.
The statistics of business failures for
the year 1885, as compared with 1884,
show a large increase both in numbers
and liabilities, in the Southern States,
while great reduction both in number
of failures aud cxteut of liabilities, fs
shown for the same period in the East
ern. Middle and Western States and
along the Pacific slope. And it's shown,
that while the credit system was greatly
on the increase in the Southern States
last year, it was little resorted to in the
latter sections of the country, and while
the one is noted for an increase Of fall
ures the other is noted for marked re-
duction thereof and an increase of pros
peritr, hence it is very evident that the
credit system is largely at the bottom Of
the South's slow progress andembarrass-
ments. As a further evidence Of the
truth OF this fact, take the States OF the
South that have made marked progress
in the past year, ike Georgia, North
Carolina, Florida and Texas, and yoa
will find that while they show q consid-
cradle reduction in the number Of fail
ures and the volume Of liabilities, they
likewise show that they have come closer
down to cash basis, that every State in
the South must eventually come TO be-
fore it will experience substantial busi-
ness safety and material progress.

THE NEW RAILROAD.

We publish elsewhere an article
from the Columbia Register showing
tae advantages and the feasibility of
tile projected Columbia, Newberry
and Laurens railroad. The country
through which this road is proposed to
beruh is a good one and well adapted
railroad building. It will place
( lumbia and Charleston much near
-. 80 the up country, and if the line
sso 5ul,, be carried through the noun
ms, much nearer to the West. Co.
lambia, and Charleston,a as well, should
bestir themselves in this enterprise,
forif it should fail, and the Augusta
and Newberry IS built, Augusta will
draW large part of our cotton and
our trade which we would prefer to
give the cities of our own State.
The people all along the proposed
line are very much stirred up and
seem to mean business. We hope
the leaders in this enterprise will
keep the enthusiasm up and continue
to push the good work until the road
is an assured success. The business
men Of NeRberry and Prosperity will
lend the enterprise a liberal hand.

The SmallGrainand the Freeze.

The recent cold spell was the most
severe weather we have had in this coun-
try in many years, and we fear con-
siderable damage has been done the
wheat and oats crop. Where the snow
remained on the ground for some time
during the cold, probably the damage
will not be great. We haze made inquiry
of several farmers and most OF them think
considerable damage has been done.
Especially has the late sowing OF oats
been almost completely killed. Mr.. j.
NJ. Johnstone told US he had made care
full examination of his crop and it was
certainly killed. We hope it will not be
as bad as anticipated, and even if it is
killed that seed oats can be procured for
renlaating spring crop.

statement of facts by q farmer in the
Interest of his fellow laborers. We
believe the farmers of Newberry
County have learned the lesson and
are endeavoring every year to be-
come more independent, and are try
ing to live at home. Cotton, it is
true, is the money crop and is the
great staple of our Southern Country,
but what is the sense of continuing
to raise this money crop, and buy our
corn and bacon, when it costs more
to buy these than we get for our
cotton. AS long as that plan isprac'
ticed eur farmers will continue to
grow poorer. Take the money men
among the farmers of Newberry
County, aud they are those who raise
cotton, it is true, but they live at home
fsst, and when their cotton is sold,
the money does not go to pay for
Tat;ons already consumed but to the
increase of their bank accounts.
