PANol.A, Aug. 20.-Mr. Edior:-For sew
eral weeks I have failed to appear with any
letter in your excellent paper. have been
50 much engaged in the recent primary
canvass that my mind was solely engrossed
with The cares of candidates work. Isaw
enough to furnish On interesting communi-
cation for every issue, but, as you know, like
others was neglectful of my knoeun duty;
hence I offer no appolgy: to do so would
only at this late day place me in an envi-
able position.
Ny visit to Salem was the most pleasant
episode Of my life. I spent several days
among this hind people, whose hospitality
knew no bounds. formed many acquaint-
ances-learnt their habits. They are an in
dustrial class, good livers; milk, butter, and
honey abound every where; you would I'M
agine from their surroundings that the
devastation of war, followed by the crucial
test of the stock law looks as if it has never
been applied to this portion Of the
county. The bountiful supply Of ci-
der and wster-melons. together with
fruit of every description, makes Salem
an Eden delightful to live in. Their pub
Lie roads are the best in the county, without
any exception. If anything could poison
their minds against this part Of the county,
it looks as if election years would do it,
(thirty candidates,) but every house was
opened, and every heart welcomed Us.
(Just think, Mr.. Editor, thirty candidates
to visit Salem at once.) The canvass is now
nearing its close; much has been done to
help each others friend. All could not be
elected. This has been year of peace and
tranquility among candidates. There has
been no mud-slinging, but every one works
upon his own merit. The people will be
the Jurors. Their verdict will be final.
Some Of our hearts may be heavy, some
light, but on the 4th Sept. the handwriting
will be upon the wall, that the Primary
elections for Clarendon County of this year
of grace is forever closed, and numbered
with the past. TOM.

The Manning building and loan associa-
ton held second preliminary meeting in
the Court House last Thursday, with B. P.
Barron, Esq, in the chair. and Jos. Il.
Montgomery, Esq, acting as secretary.
The meeting falling upon the day after the
primary elections, and while the boxes
were still coming in from remote points,
1t was difficult to carry up anything like q
crowd. The candidates and their friends
were busy calculating and tabulating. Sud
denly the sound of intense and prolonged
cheering rang ont so loud from the hall as
to penetrate even the ears Of candidates
These sounds of applause caused many to
think that showers of Ciceronian eloquence
were being poured, in rich ibation, on
those present; and that they too must has
ten to enjoy it. A rush was made for the
Court Room, and, as esen entered, he was
received with hearty acclanat!on. The OBJ
iect becoming patent, every one sat down,
and enjoyed the hilarity for a time; the
gavel sounded the smiling faces of the
presiding officer became elongated ;and
solemn stiffness" fell upon the audience:
whereupon the association proceeded to
business.
Reports were called for, and despite the
fact that the absorbing Primaries had well
nigh excluded, for some weeks, almost eve
ry other consideration, quite number Of
shares were reported as taken up; and ev-
cry one charged with the work Of soliciting
subscriptions, urged in eztenuation Of hav-
ing no more, that he had been too much
involved-the people also-in the issues Of
the primary election.
This is an enterprise that is we'll worth
careful examination by our people. There
are scores of towns and villages, yea, cities
too, that owe their present prosperity and
population, to the timely aid afforded them
by kindred associations. It is grounded
upon the granite rock Of experience. Such
an association is, as il were, q benehcent
hand extended to the poor man, by which
aid he may build and pay for his home in a
few years, without having laid out III the
end but little, if anY more, than he might
have paid in rents. The plan is simple,
feasible and eminently practicable to every
thinking mind; and We believe all that
will be necessary TO launch out this asso-
citation on its career Of prosperity-as every
other has met-is for the people here to
properly know and understand its work.

Fragments from Foreston.

FoaEsrcs, Aug. 20.-Haring received an
invitation, we attended the closing of the
Foreston colorsd school, which came off on
Friday evening last. A nice program,
consisting of recitations, speeches, dia-
logues, tabIeaux, and songs, interspersed
with music, was beautifully and decorously
carried out. In the absence of Mr.. Stuart,
who was to deliver the closing address, the
principal, ". D. Ta-diff, Jr., oficiated,
creating much interest his speech being
full of good sound sense. After-speeches
l1were made by DR.. L. W. Nettles, public
school trustee, and our local judge; after
which refreshments were plertifully served.
The occasion was one Of deep interest and
the school closed with q good degree OF
prosperity and with cheering prospects for
its future success. Too much credit can
not be given to the principal for the Her
culian efforts he is making for the people.

How to Educate True Americans.

We all-that is all of us who
have children-want our children
brought up as true Americans.
Chauncey NJ. Depew is a pretty
good specimen of an American, and
he gives some pertinent advice upon
the subject: "How would i have
the American idea instilled into the
minds of our school-children? Give
the youngest children's histories of
the United States. When they be-
come older give them Bancroft's
history of the formation Of the Con-
stitution. Tell them of the growth
Of the colonies and why they re-
volted; of the War Of Independ-
ence and of its significance; of the
War of 1872 and its bearing on our
history; of the Civil War, of the
causes which led to it and its re-
suits. Tell them all about the
Declaration of Independence and
American liberty. Tell them how
it differs from the liberty Of dynas-
tic or monarchical countries. Tell
them of the benefits of this liberty,
of the dangers which threaten it
and of the vital necessity of its
preservation. Children cannot be-
gin the study of these things too
young. Ny boy will be nine years
old next July. He has read three
times through child's history of
the United States and the same
number of times through a child's
history of Rome, England, France
and Germany. He understands
the facts as we'll as l do, and l do
not think him brighter than the
average American boy. Put child's
history Of America into boys
hand as soon as he can read. You
will find that child will be as much
interested in such a book as any
book you can give him, fairy tales
not excepted. AS soon as the child's
mind becomes sufficiently devel-
oped, put him in the field OF Amer
lean ideas, which / have suggested.
Arouse his mind. See to it that he
has teacher possessed of love
of our country and its Constitution.
Do this and you will have in the
next generation class of men and
women so we'll grounded in the
history Of our country and in the
fundamental principles of free gov
ernment that it will be impossible
for them to be misled by fanatics or
demagogues.

A Wealthy Woman in Rags.

AS Roscoe Conklin, Joseph H.
Choate and William NJ. Evarts were
leaving the court house in New
York City, after a big trial the
other day they encountered de-
crepit old woman in the corridor.
She grimaced and the eminent jur-
lists raised their hats and bowed
with courtly dignity. A half-dozen
big tenement houses, bundle of
government bonds and shares in an
uptown savings bank represent the
old woman's worldly possessions,
and yet she can neither read, write
nor cipher. She is the best-known
character in the offices of the city
government. When the late Will
liam M. Tweed first came into
power "Aunt Sally" as she is
called, used to peddle peanuts and
apples in the various offices. By
careful economy she had saved a
little money. Tweed, who would
do anything for any one he took a
liking to, advised Sally to put her
little savings into ''spec," which
he promised would turn out we'll.
Sally made several hundred per
cent. profit on her investment. In
those days every politician owned
a high silk umbrella. Sally made
it her business to become ac-
quainted with every politician,
lawyer and ofice-holder of conse-
quence, and at stated times visited
them to collect discarded hats, um-
brellas and other articles of wearing
apparel. She carries on that busi-
ness to-day in connection with her
peanut and apple trade. The hats
and umbrellas she repairs herself,
and sells them often for half their
original cost. Coachmen, hack
drivers and colored dudes are her
best customers. Her income from
this source alone is very big. She
adds several thousand dollars year
ly to her fortune. Her age is a
mystery. Some of the old timers
say she is over a century old, and
that she is witch. She dresses in
rags and always pleads poverty. The
records in the Registers office show
that she is worth at least a fifth of
a million.-Mail and Express.
