Our next visit finds us at Tugaloo
school, i'll Tugaloo Township, taught
by Mr.. A. y. Johns, son of S. II.
Johns, Esq, of Bachelors Retreat.
Mr.. Johns is a sclf-madc man. This
community has quite a number of
| children in her bounds and needs the
services OF just such II imam as fir.
Johns, full of energy perseverance,
and kindness. The teacher told us
that the children were easily man
aged, and that they generally rccited
well, and that they seemed interested
in their studies. These questions
answered aflirmativcly, the conclu-
sion, that progress is their watch
word, is almost inevitable. The
citizens of that community deserve
a good school located permanently
in their midst. Their academy, with
little repairs, may be made COM
Portable. All school houses should
be supplied with black-boartls, large
enough to employ a class of ~ to
20 pupils at once. 1t will greatly
facilitate the teachers work and rcn.
der his instructions much more
thorough.
The next point in our visits is the
"Rocky Ridge" school, in Tugaloo
Township, under the tutorage of
Miss r. O. Walker, daughter of
0. |. Walker, favorably known to
many of our citizens. Miss Walkers
school was composed of about twcn-
ty pupils, all Of whom, though in
small cabin and very uncomfortable
in all its appointments, were, or
seemed to be, very intent on their
engagements. We examined some
specimens i'll chirography which re-
flcctcd not a little credit on the
teacher. The children were very
obcdirnt to the teacher, who seemed
to have a quiet, controlling intlu-
cncc. We have often thought that
lady teacher who possesses this
gift was more successful than male
teacher in governing a school, 1t is
not necessary that the teacher hold
the rod in his hand all the time. The
determination is the important clc-
mcnt.

Progress of the Mexican Trade.

The Mexican Economist, the best
authority on Mexican finances and
statistics, gives some facts and figures
regarding the condition of trade be-
tween Mexico and the United States
which are regarded as rather start
ling, and which differ materially
from those given out at Washington
1t says that in the fiscal year 1887
SS the value of the exports from the
United States to Mexico was in
American coin S19,264,G75, and that
the value Of exports from Mexico to
the United States during the same
period was S23,294,000. These
figures arc regarded as the most ac-
curatc that have ever been obtained,
and show that exports from the
United States to Mexico are several
millions larger than heretofore stated
by either Mexican or United States
authority.

statesmen before the war, that with
out slaves the South could not pro-
titably produce cotton, yet with free
labor you have raised more cotton
in ten years than you raised in twenty
years before Sumter was fired on,
notwithstanding that only part of
your population has been engaged
in this industry, and that in the
meantime your manufacturing CEN
tres have become formidable rivals
of the North.
l believe that the South is to play
great part in working out the des-
tiny of our reunited nation. In her
1oufago, il hos hoposu!Eess, :r her
integrity, in her loyalty, in
her enthusiasm, in the public spirit

adherence to political conviction
and in their deep sense of duty to
public trusts, I behold the qualities
which will preserve intact the theory
OF our governmental system,
strengthen our institution and re-
bound to the glory and prosperity
of our country.
1t is sometimes said in the North
that the South is solid. SO it is
solid for good government, solid for
integrity in private and official life,
solid in its opposition to the patcrnal
administration of public affairs, solid
against Congressional extravaganza,
solid in its remuneration of the errors
OF the past, solid for American ideas,
solid in it's aspirations for higher civil
lization and solid for all that would
make us Il prosperous and powerful
republic. Of such a solidity I am
not afraid. sec 10 dangers in such

and robbed of many of the nice
ways the people of the North have
of preparing rice at least. Both are
soon a tiresome dish. Fried chicken,
young and tender, is something of
treat at the North, but when T state
the fact that spring chickens are sold
here from ten to twenty cents each
and never bought by weight, you
will see they are more likely to be

The Origin Of Lynch Law.
[Pittsburg (Pa.) Dispatch.]

l have seen brief article, copied
from your columns, about the origin
of lynch law. In the article, Colonel
Charles Lynch, Of Virginia, is men-
toned as the person from whom this
claw" C) took its name. The truth
is, that it as probably as hard to tell
who was the founder of lynch law
as to tell "who struck Billy Patter-
SON."
Appleton's Cyclopndia says, "Ac-
cording to some authorities, the
term was derived from a Virginia
farmer namad Lynch, who having
caught thief, instead of delivering
him to the law, tied him to n tree
and tlogged him with his own hands,"
Another account says that Gin 1878
one Lynch was sent to America to
suppress piracy; but as the laws
were not administered with much
vigor i'll the colonies, owing to the
difficulty of adhcring to the usual
forms of law in the newly estab-
lished territories, it is presumed that
this Judge Lynch was empowered to
proceed summarily against pirates,
and thus gave rise to the term"
Still another account, which seems
to rest on no good authority, con-
meets the term with Mr.. Lynch, the
founder of Lynchburg, Va. But it
can be traced to a much earlier date
in Ireland. In 1893 James Fitzstc-
phens Lynch was Mayor and War
den of Galway. He traded largely
to Spain, and sent his son thither to
purchase a cargo of wine. The
young man squandcred the money
entrusted to him for this purpose,
but succeeded in running in debt for
a cargo to a Spaniard, by whose ne
phcw he was accompanied on the re-
turn voyage to Ireland, where the
money was to be paid. Young
Lynch, to conceal his dcfalcation,
caused the Spaniard to be thrown
overheard, and was received at
home with great honor, as having
conducted most successful business
operation. But sailor on his death
bed revealed to the Mayor OF Gal
way the crime which his son had
committed. The young man was
tried before his own father, convict
ed and sentenced to be hanged. His
family and others .undcrtood to pre-
vent the execution; and the father,
finding that the sentence could not
be carried into effect in the usSS'
way, conducted his son up '" ~, ,, y

First Impressions in the South.

Mr.. A. S. Welch, of New Haven,
Conn.,, who has come to Walhalla to
spend the winter, writes to the Gau,D
Neaos, published in Philadelphia, of
his first impressions in the South.
He says:
81 have been in the South for
about three weeks and will endca
vor to interest the readers of the
Neacs by giving my first impressions
of the Sunny South. You can form
no idea Of the South until after you
leave Washington. In Virginia we
noticed for the first time the log
houses used by the negroes, but by
the time North Carolina was reached
these had nearly disappeared, as they
seemed to he part of the Old Do
minion. Danville, Va, is meal
station, and after hurried lunch
had a chance to see something of
this town which has figured largely
in the political campaigns of Vir-
ginia. 1t is a quiet, unpretcntious
town, and it would strike Il new
conner as matter of some difficulty
to arouse much excitement there.
Corn and tobacco were the seeming
staples, and no cotton was seen until
nearing South Carolina. One pecu-
liarity Of the Southern railroad car
is the fact that in every seat is n
papicr-maohe spittoon, which finds
many patronizcrs, and is used as a
receptacle for everything of no use
to the passenger.
"After getting into South Carolina
one Southern custom was noticed
that affords many editorials and adj
verse criticisms in the Northern pa
pers, the custom Of obliging the col
orcd people to ride in the smoking
car.
"All through Virginia and North
Carolina the car I rode in had many
colorcd passengers, but none were
seen in South Carolina, although no
change of cars was effected after
leaving Washington. At the sta
tions in South Carolina you would
notice the signs "Ladic's Room," and
"Colored Waiting Room," which of
course means one for the white and
one for the colorcd. There is re-
markable lack of toilet accommoda-
tions at all the stations, but this in a
measure is made up by the more re-
markablc attention of the conductor
and brakcmcn to the wants of the
passengers on the train. The con-
ductor remembers the destination of
every lady passenger who is in any
way hampcred by bundles or chill
drcn, and in every instance as the
train ncars tho station, the conduc-
tor comes forward, often with the
brakemen as well, and notifies the
passenger or passengers and carries
bundles, gripsacks and children to the
platform, and the further South one
travels the more these courtcsics in
crease.
"Walhalla was reached Friday,
A. NJ, September 9th, in time for
dinner, and it may be Of interest to
noto somo things ono sees at every
meal of thoir stay at any Southern
hotol--friod chicken and rice or hon.
