O'Nrill School Picnic.

MIR. EDITOR: On Thursday, August
l2th, | attended the picnic ut O'Ncill'S
Academy, formerly known by the less
diGnIird name Of Smokey Town. a
very large crowd was present, and
among those from Il distance l noticed
about 4 half dozen from Ncwbcrry-
mostly candidatc$.
The morning was taken up with rcci-
tationS. Instrumental music and singing,
by the pupils. The stand which they
occupied WAS ta>tcfully decorated with
evergrcrns. flowers and fcStoons Of long
leaf pine needles. The rccitationS show

Jane \. Long as Il teacher is not mis-
placed.

The Length or the School DaY.

The Western laborcr demands that
his days work be limited to y, certain
number OF hours, and his demand Is
complied with. The employer may re-
luctantly pay for eight hours work as 4
full day. yet lie is compelled to do it..
Not only the man who works III the
railroad shops of the West, not only the
woman who tolls in the factories Of the
North has Il certain number of hours to
work, but even the teacher Of tho South
has certain number Of hours to
work. The teacher is required by law
to work six hours q day. His duty is
then done. so Tar AS the State il con-
cerncd. Is this in all cases sufficient ?
Can he perform his duty to the patrons
and children in this short time?
The old Roman taught from daylight
until dark; our fnrcfathers in this cOun-
try remained in the school room nearly
the entire day. The times have changed,
however; and now the teacher can enjoy
those pleasures which were denied the
good old people of the long ago.
In those schools where the children
are pretty well advanced, it may be well
to talk OF the six hours system. They
are expected to prepare their rocitations
before coming to the school house, and
the teacher Is expected to have them re-
cite, and they have finished after those
things have been explained to them
which they did not understand.
Let us remember that there are Il great
many children that expect to study their
lessons in the school room. For such
six hours are not sufficient. In reality
under the above system they are not re-
quircd to study even six hours. They
commence at 8 O'Clock and are
dismissed at 3, in the meantime having
one hour for recreation, leaving only
five hours for study. 1t Is mistake 70
say that this Is sufficient in the common
schools Of the country. That teacher
who clings to the above system, and who
has the wants of n large school to attend
to, in reality shirks his duty because he
has the sanction of the law.
The teacher may say that his pay is
very small, therefore five or six hours
is as much as lie ought to devote to the
work. In answer to this we would say,
that no teacher should make any such
plea after he has accepted a position,
and should work az diligently rs If he
were paid as well rs any official IN the
State

RIchland Makes RetOrt.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 1l.-Somc
time ago the Chronicle mildly advised
the News and Courier to let GeOrgia
politics alone rs it would soon be
''monkcying with its own Gubornatorial
buZZ-saw." The News did not take this
advice, rs it felt sure OF the success OF
its own candidate in South Carolina. and
preferred to extend its operations be-
yond the borders Of the muddy Sayan-
nah. If it had wisely listened to the adj
vice of its amiable contemporary it
might have met with greater success at
home. Its candidate for Governor was
defeated and it Is in much tho same con-.
dltion that 1t charged the Chronicle with.
being after the Bacon defeat, in "a very
unhappy frame Of mind" It il easily
worried and the slightest allusion to
combinations, ETC., IS exceedingly "vcx-
atiOus."
Your correspondent ycntured to re-.
vcntion that "a part of the Cha rle atom
delegates only gave Col. Miles a half.
hearted support" The News and Cous
ricr to-day vigorously denies the 'scrucl
story and then proceeds to prove Its
correctness. 1t Says: "With but four
or tee dissenting rotes, the Charleston
delegation resolved that it WAS injurious
to have two candidates for State offices
III the field, and the preference of tho
delegation, IN about the. same ratio wns
Tor MIR. Miles," &c. Italics mine,l
There were then "four or five" of tho
delegates who were not "enthusiastic"
supporters for Mr.. Miles; and who prc.
terred to retire Mr.. Miles in favor OF
General McCrady's candidacy.
Your correspondent simply repeated
Il rumor which has now been confirmed
by the News and Courier, and if TINT
Journal wants to "pillory" anybody 1t 10
respectfully referred to the write +. of tho
editorial from which have quoted. Let
the punishment be inflicted. II tho
News and Courier is not satisfied with
its own confirmation OF the report, let It
order poll Of the Charleston delegation
ana see II 1t cannot find some 'thalf.
hearted supporters" OF Mr.. Miles among
those delegates. If it fails to discover
any such individual, your correspondent
will make the proper correction. In the
meantime, with the report corroborated
by the News and Courier, he does not
feel at liberty to retract. 10 do SO
would bca reflection upon the News
and Courier, and your correspondent
would not be guilty of that for any con.

Georgia Politics.

County politics has been the rage in
Pike county since GOrdOn's nomination
has been rendered certain. Various poll
ticians have placed their heads together
and endeavored to get up a ticket for the
legislature that both parties would sup
port. BY both parties is meant the pro-
hibitionists and anti-prohibitionist tor,
although Pike is a prohibition county, the
question OF prohibition IS as unsettled as
it ever was. The ants some weeks ago
proposed TO the prohibitionists %
allow them to elect two prohibition
legislators provided they would agree
to let Pike vote on the pro-
hihition question two years hence. 1t is
probable that this request would have
been granted. but Colonel A. A. Murphy,
the leader OF the prohibltionist forces,
publicly announces himself "A candidate
for the LEGISLATURE, aud this, OF course,
will efectually prevent anything ike a
compromise. The anti-prohibitionists
most assuredly will not support him, but
will run some one OF their own party.
They are also confident OF a victory, for
Pike elected anti prohibition legislators
last time and the auti-prohibitionist
claim that they can increase their major
ity on this occasion.
At Dawson Tuesday the negroes held a
mass meeting ia the court house TO de-
termine whether or not they would nomi-
nate a candidate for the Legislature.
After a good deal OF speaking on the part
Of the leaders Of the movement it was
finally decided TO postpone definite action
until Saturday before the first sunday in
next month. when another meeting is 10
be neld. Many of the best negroes in the
county oppose any steps being taken TO
bring out a candidate Tor Representative.

Inexpected Arrival.
From ne Aidpaha tG4.) Sur,


About year ago citizen of this county
was riding along n certain road, whlstling
anIce little tune, when his dog ran a small
squirrel up a sapling. The dog was we'll
developed as 10 mouth and mis- lungs
lacked not strength. Soon his furious
barking so frightened the squirrel that it
leaped from the sapling and SHOT head
foremost into his mouth just as ne opened
it to bark. The squirrei disappeared like
a fash into the interior department Of the
dog. Tue dog seemed stupefed by the
sudden shock and began turning round
and round, as if crazy. 1t was evident
that the free lunch did not set well on the
dogs internal economy. In a short time
he was seized with fit OF vomiting and
the squirrel was heayed up. The little
animal, without a moments pause, dart
ed for the sapling and was soon seated on
its tOpmos branch.
Since then the dog cannot be induced to
bark at squirrel up tree.
