TEE GRADED SCHOOLS OF GRzEAv11LE.

In company with Mr.. Thomas Simpson,
of Anderson, and Mr. Haynie, music
teacher, formerly of Andersen, but now
of Greenville, we made the luspec. ion u
the graded schools of Greenvi!ie, under
the supervision of Prof. Morrison. To
say that we were pleased doesn't express
our feeGnga-we were more than delight.
ed. Greenville has been justly held up
to the public admiration for her factories
and industrial workshops, thus attesting,
to remarkable degree, the enterprise
and vim of her people, but these all pale
before the splendor of her educational
facilities, especially in her graded free
school system. Here all classes of her
people-the rich and poor alike-meet
on common educational platform, and
enjoy all the advantages Of the very best
culture, by competent teachers, without
one cent of cost to the individual patrons,
except Tor DooEs, &c.
The Professor has his entire school
of several hundred scholars graded in
different classes, and in separate rooms,
each under competent instructors. And
what is somewhat remarkable, every one
of his assistants are lady teachers.
Misses Dorroh, Hoyt and Easley con-
Quoted the class rooms which we visited,
and the performances of the scholars on
the black board were truly wonderful.
The children are taught in a scientific
way the conformation of figures, and we
never have seen the uniformity and per-
fection of performance excelled, The
figures are made on 8 system, which
gives elegance and precision to the
whole. Sc with the other performances
of reading, spelling, &c. Every depart
ment has perfect system, both in study
and de,orum and the whole under the

supervision of Prof. Morrison, who is
certainly the right man in Che right


place.
The people of Greenville haze yolun-
tarily taxed themselves SONS $4,000
to establish these graded public schools,
two for the whites, and perhaps as many
for the blacks, all supplied with compe.
tent teachers, and under the supervision
of the Professor, as aforesaid. This vol.
untary tax is for the purpose OF purchas-
ing sites and putting up suitable build.

on the morning of our visit, stands on q

modate several hundred pupils boys
and girls. It is located on the East side
of the river, accessible to the postofice
and most Of the churches and business
streets. They have another building on
the West, and under the direct control Of
Professor Thaxton, a young aud accom-
plished teacher. We did not learn the
names of Che colored teachers, but hear
from the Professor that they ars compe-
tent and effective in their work. The
Professor has control thus of scme 300 or
1000 white and colored pupils. So you
can see that the educational work involved
in these graded schools is more impor.
tant one to the future prosperity of
Greenvilld than all the material interests
of this growing city put together. In
these, and other like schools, are to be
trained the men and women who are to
adorn and fill all the responsible posi-.
tions of society in the future.
Our principal object in penning these
few lines is mainly to encourage the
good people of Anderson in their pro.
posed enterprise Of establishing graded
public schools for the benefit of her
children. While We commend their
enterprise in the establishment of fac.
tory and hotel, which will do credit to
their sagacity in the future, let them not
forget the higher and more important
duty of educating the children, rich and
DOOR alike.

How to be Beautiful.

A very simple and excellent way to
make the skin clear and smooth, is as
follows: At night use the prepared
mixture of vaseline and cold cream on
the face and lips; rub it in we'll with the
fingers, then wipe thoroughly, as sufi'
Gent is left in the pores without leaving
the face greasy. In the morning wash
with plain brown soap, rinse carefully in
warm waite: and then in cold this
softens the skin but keeps the muscles
firm, and if q little bay rum of the best
quality is used after the skin becomes as
soft as piece of velvet IL drying the
face rub it upward. This is said to pre-.
vent wrinkles, or at least postpone them,
but its truth eau only be tested as time
goes on.
Powder can be used il desired. The
least injurious is the simplest-plain
drop chalk. To improve the hair brush
it for twenty minutes every night and
braid loosely on retiring.
Washing the hands in water diluted
with vinegar will make them white.
Two good recipes for removing freckles
are: The juice of watermelon or slices OF
fresh cucumber
Nothing, however, will be of much
benefit to the skin unless the first princi-
pies of health are observed and the stom.
ach is kept in good order. A woman
with cold in her head can never be
interesting either-therefore beware OF
getting your feet wet, and don't go out
cold weather with underclothing fit for a
spring day and little jacket weighing
about three pounds.
Don't expect to have bright eyes if
you use them much at night or walk in
the teeth ofan east wind without warm
veil over your face.
To be graceful, don't wear grotesque
bustles and tightly drawn skirts-Ho'n a
New York Letter.

A Cowboy Captures q Bank.

CHEYENNE, April 15.-A lone cowboy
rode from the plains this morning into
Grover, Colorado, village of the Chey-
enue and Burlington Railroad. He dis.
mounted in front of the Commercial
Bank, aud, throwing his bride rein over
a hitching post, entered the building.
E[e walked directly to the window of
Cashier @. G. Smith, who tells this story !:
"The fellow was as polite as a drum.
mer. He smiled at his six.shooter as he
pushed it through the window and lev
elled it at me. Allowing me an instant
to regain my composure, he inquired if I
would be kind enough to hand him all
the cash in sight. There was over $500
in view. I counted him out $500 in gold
and bills. This seemed satisfactory, and
my visitor YVES profuse in his thanks.
Then he looked about the place and said
be would like an interest in the business.
"seeing a Winchester rife, which I
keep near the vault for emergencies, he
grew more earnest in manner, and
demanded the weapon. I handed it out,
butt first, as he ordered. he then
backed to the door, and leaning the rife
against the outside wall, placed his
revolver in its holster, landed into his
saddle by leap from the ground, and,
putting spurs to his horse, was off al
furious speed"
There we're six persons in the bank at
the time, but the cowboy did his business
30 quietly and 80 ezpeditionsly that he
attracted no attention. Cashier Smith
ran into the street as soon as he could,
and seizing the Winchester, began firing
at the rapidly moving horseman. The
fellow ducked in regular Indian style,
and cut loose with cowboy yell at
every crack of the rifle. Smith is poor
shot at best, and in his excitementt to day
failed to hit even so large target as the
horse. A possee of twelve men are now
in pursuit of the bandit.

experience in the school-room, they have

A little child sitting on the railroad
track.
A passenger train sweeping down
upon it at the rate of thirty.fve miles an
hour.
These we're the factors of what seemed
a certain tragedy which confronted En-
gineer syphen of the Columbia and
Greenville road, as, with hand on the
throttle and eyes on the track, bis train
rounded curve two miles this side of
Ponlaria yesterday afternoon.
What WAS to be done must be done
promptly, and not an instant was wasted
by this vigilant engineer.
To blow the whistle and reverse his
engine, while his fireman put on brakes
as if his life depended on it, was the
work of but few seconds, but in that
time the rushing train had fearfully mar
rowed the space between the child and
the iron horse.
Slowly it seemed to the anxious engin.
eer and fireman, the speed Of the train
lessened. The impetus was too great to
stop it before the child was reached, and
surely, but at greatly slackened speed, it
reached and passed the spot.
Before the train had fairly stopped,
the train employees we're of and seeking
the child, fearing to find its dead body
beside the track.
When the whistle blew it had appa.
rently turned its head, and right across
the forehead the end Of the draw.bar on
the pilot of the engine had barely
grazed, and only struck the child with
sufficient force to throw it gently to one
side.
When first picked up it was apparently
a little stunned, but the application OF q
little cold water brought it to, and by
vigorous cries it gave notice that it was
still in the land of the living.
MespRhile the parents of the child,
Mr. and Mrs. +: fseon, whose house was
but few hundred yards from the track,
came rushing to the spot, the mother
nearly distracted and filling the air with
cries that her darling baby WAS killed.
Naturally both were rejoiced az their
little ones fortunate escape and the
unconscious two.year old heroine of The
episode was carried home, while the
delayed train resumed its progress to
Columbia.-Columbia Register, 17m.

Of the awful responsibility that is laid

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local application, as they can not
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inHamed condi.
ton of the mucus lining of the Eusta.
chian Tube. Whep this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumhling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed deafness is the result, and unless
the Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inhamed condi
tion of the mucus surfaces.

In the 10 ng ago it used to take about
twenty FIVE years to build southern town
and finish it. There was the courthouse
in the public square, the same old.time
honored courthouse with two big eyes in
each gable, and the clerks Office and jury
rooms upstairs. Then there we're two or
three churches and q school house and
half dozen wooden stores and half a
dozen Law Offices and doctor shops and
two or three doggerieB where corn liquor
and fiddle music we're dispensed. There
was a wagon shop and blacksmith shop
and o jail and some horse racks, and
these were all, except the unpretending
residences and the humble graveyard, With
here and there marble slab TO mark
some of the graves. The town was i'm.
ished and from year to year remained the
same, the very same. In these unpre.
tending towns the best men and women
we're raised that ever were raised since
the world was made. A noble, patriotic

and that generation has passed; we are
now in a new role and have to fall into
