A Strong Endorsement.

Office Piedmont Mfg. Co., Piedmont, S.
C.-Gentlemen:. Nearly two years ago
I contracted malaria into my system, and
suffered greatly from time to time
from it in various forms in which it de-.
veloped. Sometimes had severe chills
and DISQUALIFICATION followed it, and I
was generally out of health. Last spring
for more than two months I was greatly
troubled with disordered condition Of
the bowels, which I believe was the re.
suit of the malaria etill existing in my
system. I visited two or th-ee mineral
springs celebrated for the cure of malari.
al diseases, without the slightest benefit.
I was also treated as the different synp
toms developed by the most skillful ply.
siciaus but was not relieved. About two
months ago. concluded to try DR..
Westmoreland's Calisaya Tonic, prepar-
ed by The Westmoreland Calisaya Tonic
Company. but I must confess that l had
little confidence of being materially ben
eftted by it. 1 lave taken FIVE or six
bottles of the Tonic. From the begin
ming felt relief and continued to i'm.
prove, until now feel quite as well and
in as perfect health: as I ever did in my
life, and believe I am perfectly we'll.

Mr. Editor: While on visit to Wal
halla recently it was my good fortune to
attend q meeting of the Teachers Associ-
alton of Oconee County. I enjoyed the
exercises and derived much benefit from
them. The subject of "School Govern.
ment" vas discussed by Profa. J. o. Hix,
II. g. Reed, B. M. Pack, N. S. 6trib.
bling, s. P. Stribbling, School Commits.
eioner, and others. The subject was
ably handled by the above named gen.
tlemen. after which the body adjourned
to meet again first Saturday in October.
The attendance was small, which must
be discouraging TO the School Commits
sioner, who is live, energetic man,
and who is striving earnestly to rouse the
teachers up to their duty. He thinks
the teachers should be required to attend
these meetings or give good excuse for
non attendance. He spoke of the igno.
rance that prevailed in some parts of the
County, and of the poor teachers in some
ofthe schools he had visited. He noted
an instance of one school where spelling
only was taught, and the old "Blue.
black" at that, Judge. Still the schools
ofthat County are on rising ground, and
under the supervision of the excellent
School Commissioner they now have,
will vie with some of her sister Counties.
May Anderson continue to be one of
the leading Counties for schools, is the
wish Of LEILA BRO" E.

We heard of a father recently who
refused to serd his children to school
because the teacher did not use the
"blue-back speller." The teacher was
thoroughly competent and experienced,
and yet that did not seem to weigh with
this father. He wishes to hire teacher;
and not only direct aohat is to be done in
the school room, but hoao it shall be done.
There is probably no other calling in life
about which everybody knows everything,
as that of the teacher. You eau scarcely
find anybody but that knows exactly
how it ought TO be done. This father
wanted his children taught to spell, and
what possible difference could it make
how it was done. No man would attempt
to dictate to phyuician or lawyer how
to manage a case, and there is no more
reason why he should dictate to teacher
how he should teach spelling or anything
else. The essential thing is to get
competent teacher, one in whom you
have entire confidence, and then send
your children to school day by day and
let the teacher manage the details. 1t is
demoralning to school to have unne-
csssary interference on the part of pa.
trons, but a judicious and well.meant
interest on their part is profitable to all
concerned.

Don't ever employ lazy teacher to
take charge Of your school. If there is
any one place more than another in. this
world where a lazy msu or woman has no
business, it certainly is 10 school room
where there is a constant and increasing
need for all mans mental and physical
energies. The teacher should be the
most active and alert person in the
school in all the powers of his being. IF
you want your school to be a dead fail
ure employ man who will ensconce
himself in chair in a corner and doze
about half the time and you will get it
every time.

Farmers, think of it, that we have
expended in these three years considera.
bly, over one.h half million of dollars in
the purchase of farm supplies, which ne
could and ought to have produced at
home, and that. every dollar of it, with
the interest charged, was deducted from
the profits of our agricultural industry
for that period of time. If these sums
had been saved and spent in ditchiDg,
terracing and manuring our farms, there
is no estimating the extent to which
their productive powers might have been
increased. They would have enabled us
in the last three years to have put in
operation five cotton manufacturing
establishments, with capital of one
hundred thousand dollars each, and such
establishments, besides the advantage of
giving employment to SO many of the
poor people of the County, would have
saved to US the profits which are being
paid to the manufactures of other States
on all those articles at least which we
could have manufactured here at home.
Indeed, it is part of our purpose to
show that it ia our true interest 10 invest
our surplus capital in building up manu-.
factories, in order that we may protect
ourselves against protection.

old Ben, Tobe said: "Well, didn't 1

plug him |"
"You'd better get on horse and leave
here, lobe, or you'll be hung"
"No, aar; I'll face eny man. he had
no bizness' sulting gemman. I'm not
gwinter run nowhar."
"Just at this moment the marshal
dashed up on horseback. BE had already
arranged for the affair, and was provided
with long chain. Old Tobe's arms
were pinioned to his sides and the chain
was wrapped around him from his feet to
his neck and locked under his chin with
q huge paddock.
Ben was laid out on dray and cover
ed with sheet, and old Tobe was placed
on the dray beside his victim. He was
still ignorant of the hoax, as were most
of the crowd. He was carried to Jail,
but arrangements were made for an i'm.
mediate trial. The court house was
packed that night to hear the case.
Prominent lawyers took part in the moot
court, and the surgeons, seconds and
others appeared as witnesses. After some
ringing speeches the jury returned a
verdict of justi6able homicide.
Old Tobe was greatly rejoiced at the
verdict, and received the congratulations
of friends with the air offs hero. He
did not know the thing was hoax until
his late victim came forward to congrat
ulate him with the others.
At the first sight of old Ben's bloody
shirt he turned ashy pale, confident it
was his ghost, but when the truth dawned
upon him, be realized that from the proud
role of the hero, he had dwindled into
the ridiculous victim of a practical joke.

The Universal Law Of Work.

God put Adam in the garden Of Eden
"to dress and keep it," Herein he recog.
nized, even in the,earthly paradise, the
universal law of work-employment for
the hand and brain. Doubtless this law
will prevail even in the celestial paradise,
says the Youths Companion. Without
employment eternal life would be eternal
weariness.
The late fearful disaster in the Cone.
maugh Valley left the survivors bereft Of
homes, families, friends, property and
hope. When outside helpers organized
the stricken multitude and set them at
work, reporters for the press were struck
with the immediate change for the better
in look and tone bearing.
In any great calamity, whether i'm
pending or already come, nothing ia so
helpful as engrossiug employment. Men
working at the pumps to save, if possible
the sinking ship, do not suffer tenth
part as much as those who stand gazing
in the face of death. No bloody encoun.
ter on the battlefield equals in horrible
experience the position of the line which
must simply hold its ground without
returning the fire of:the enemy.
Next to the abject poor we may pity
the inheritors of vast wealth, who are too
often without stimulus to exertioa, and
indeed are often excluded from it by
foolish social notions Amusenents
form sorry substitute for actual employ.
ment, for they soon lose their power to
please. The great middle class enjoy the
blessed reaction of regular, adequate
work, and their children are to be pitied
if their fathers industry dooms them to
life OF idleness.
Many persons, whose minds, for want
of wholesome activity, have fallen into
an unhealthy state, have been saved from
insanity or suicide through the calling
out Of sympathies in behalf of others.
Such work play the best of ones nature,
the part most happy in its reflex inau-
ence.
Not few successful men retire from
business at q comparatiyely early age TO
enjoy, as they term it, period Of rest.
Such men generally make sad mistake.
Their enjoyment is not half what it vas
before, and they are fortunate if the len
dency of brain to Hhrivel with years be
not sadly fastened by the cessation OF its
life long activity.
John Quincy Adams kept al his post
in congress to the last, not because Of
political ambition nor on account of pc.
cuniary need, but because he wished by
working to retain as long as possible his
power to work. Mr.. Gladstone retains
his extraordinary working power by using
brain and arm.
No more cruel Law, no law more
opposed the end of prison discipline, vas
ever enacted in America than the one
which deprived conyicts of opportunities
for labor. Death itself would be prefara.
bic to the insanity, vice, disease and
general deterioration of the whole man,
physically, mentally and morally, which
are the natural results of such deprivs.
