Lancaster Dispatch to Press, Rep.
1t is the universal opinion that there has
rarely, if ever, been primary election in
Lancaster in which more money was used
Tor the purpose OF influencing the result one
way or the other. Both factions we're equally
well supplied, and the purChasable element
realized much more than they do at general
election.

Quotations by Reed. McGrann 4 Co, banker,
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1886-07-28
Learning TO spell.

Frederick A. Fernald has very inter
csting paper on the ecccntricities of
English spelling, i'll late issue of the
Popular Science Monthly, from which
we take the following paragraph, which
gives fan. illustration Of the unnecessa-
ry burden which the acquisition Of the
art of English spelling imposes on the
youthful mind
Learning to read the English Ian
guage is one of the worst mind stunting
processes that has formed part of the
general education Of any people. Its
evil influences arises from the partly
phonetic, partly lawless character Of
English spelling. Although each letter
represents some sound oftener than any
other, there is hardly letter in the
alphabet that does not represent more
than one sound, and hardly sound in
tho language that is not represented in
written with as many silent letters as
significant ones. There is nothing in
any word to indicate in which of these
ways its component sounds are repre-
sented-nothing in the written group of
letters to show which sounds they stand
for, and which of them, if any, are
oSShV, op tiidt big ieupnbf Opp never be
sure of pronouncing rightly an English
word that he has never seen written.
The spelling of each word must be
learned by sheer force of memory. In
this work the pupils reasoning powers
cannot be utilized, but must be subdued,
while his memory is sadly overworked.
In the sfIsirs OF tho chitd's daily life,
tho logical following out of rules is re-
warded; in learning to spell, it brings
him only discontinue and bewilderment.
The influence of the spelling class quick
~ drives him to repreSs any INCLINATION
to reason, and he gives himself up to a
blind following of authority. No child
learns English spelling without getting
the pefnicious notion that pram is bet
ter than thinking, and that common
sense is treacherous guide"

"Well, marster, said the old negro,
"dont you know that some folks is Jest
smarter than some other folks2"
"fhats so" said tho Judge. "What
shall pay you for fixing my tracer"
"Well, marster, fifty cents will do,

Fifty centsw said She Judge. "You

1t is not possible for any one, writes
w. j. Barton, of Rome, Tenn, 10 the
Nashville American, to handle money
successfully i'll any business who is lack
ing III the art of creating capital. Nine
tecn-twcnticths of the young mon, in
our knowledge, who first vcnturcd into
business on borrowed capital came TO
grief. They lacked knowledge of the
principles OF their business which comes
of experience and close, hard thinking.

greater part OF the money on it, and

one come out so successful rs he did,
fifty others will go to the wall under a
mortgage. In our opinion nothing
would result SO disastrouslv to our anri
cultural interest IS that OF allowing
farmers free run on the banks under
the mortgage system. n temporary
show of prosperity might be made in
erecting new buildings ard drcssing up
the farms; but the inevitable result in
the majority of the eases would bG fore
closures and transfer Of property to
the banks. The money lender, whether
he be farmer or other business man, is
usually financial success, while con
slant borrower IS ,e, certainly financial
failure. SO we would say to the farmer

surplus products. Keep what is not
actually needed to run you invested,
loaned or i'll bank. Spend sparingly and
judiciously. Economic closely in every
thing. Keep alive to your business. and
keep your business alive, Shun debt as
you would viper. Compare your own
methods of business with that of yorr
successful neighbor. Keep your efforts
within the bounds of your mental grasp,
for, to ovewoach it, is simply to commit
financial suicide. Save your lonas by
careful tillagc and improve chem by rest

EDITOR Columbia REGISTER: AS the
Northern papers have again revived the
question as to who bu1nt Columbia, it
may not be out of place to state few
facts which came to my own knowledge,
and which have never been published,
although it is pretty well known and
even conceded by the North that Shcr-
man was the destroyer. My father, who
remained in Columbia during its occu-
pancy by Sherman, and whilst standing
on the front porch on the evening of the
18th, with Alajor Whtcncr, Of Mount
Pleasant, Iowa, whose headquarters were
at our residence, observed somo signals
over the river AMI asked what was the
meaning of those signals. The Major
said:
'Mr. Niernscc, your city is doomed.
That is the signal for the nth corps TO
enter the city and commence the work of
destruction, and ] would advise YOU inn
mediatcly to take your family to II place
of safety, for it is not safe for them to
remain i'll the city
