son bequest, when the case now in
court is finally decided. On the same
line, the following questions would
have been quite as important to prove
the capability of a teacher:
What was the Tillman Movement
What has become Of the Columbia
canal and how is it getting along?
Explain The law on township bonds.
Give the geographical boundaries
of the 5th Congressional District ard
tell why the lines were run in that
way?
1t is not necessary to say more tc
demonstrate that the questions recent
ly asked were not adapted to the pur-
pose supposed to be intended. The
last question of Second series-1SS9,"
caps the climax: "Do you propose to
continue teaching?" A person may
be perfectly competent to teach, and
yet not intend to make it a life-work.
There is nothing in the law to require
any one, subject to examination, to
teach for any stated time. The ques-
ton therefore is an unnecessary and
idle one, and the answer cannot be a
test of capacity. We will reserve
further remarks for some future time.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1889-11-06
The Aims Of the Alliance.

It will not be out OF place at this
time for us to say something more
upon an idea we advanced some weeks
ago. We repeat it that it is wrong
that all others can organize for the
advancement of their own peculiar
interests without censure except the
farmers. Boards of trade, press as
sociations, literary clubs, bar associa-
tions, and medical societies are COM
mon things. No one says a word
against any of them. They are regard
ed as proper and useful. The farmers
don't kick up a dust about other peo-
pie managing their own business just
as they please.
How is it when the farmers attempt
by united effort to better their condi-
tionS AS soon as they make move
ment of the kind, their purposes are
misrepresented, their actions criti-
cised, and they are held up as lacking
in sense. The Grange was ridiculed,
the Farmers Movement was bitterly
opposed, and now the Alliance is
standing siege. AS we understand
the matter the Alliance has no inten-
ton of putting down any other occu-
patton. The organization is for pro-
lection. The farmers believe they
can better advance their interests by
joining together. They wish to get
more for their labor, to get out Of
debt, and live better at home. For
years they have suffered from the i'm
positions of the 'jute trust" There
was no way to relieve themselves ex-
cept to resist their oppressors. Il
there was such a way they did Lot
know it. If any one now can tell
them how to destroy this cute trust
except by refusing to use the bagglns
manufactured by them, we have no
doubt the members of the Alliance
would be glad to have the informa-
ton. They mean to overthrow|the
esjute trust" and peala he-glad of as
sistance-h0m any quarter. They
never will whip the trust by buying
bagging from it.
We have heard Of great losses by
credit business If the Alliance can
bring about the cash system it would
certainly help the merchants and them
selves too. This is one of the main
objects of the organization and is GER
tainly commendable.
The objects of the Alliance being
unobjectionable we cannot account
for the vigorous attack on it unless
the opinion is held that the farmers
have no right to organize for mutual
aid and protection. They must work
on and hand over the fruits Of their
labor to the jute trust. Such view
degrades the farmer and takes away
from ham the liberty enjoyed by men
in other avocations. It is un-Ameri-
can. We want no part of our people
slaves to any monopoly.-AbbeclHe

Farcicai Public School Examinations.
[heoeeee Coetrier.l

What is an examination, and what
its purpose as applied to the teachers
of our common schools? 1t is, or
should be, simply the questioning of
them on the science OF branches
taught in these schools, and obtaining
their answers for the purpose of test
ing their knowledge and consequent
fitness for teaching. Any question,
the correct answer to which, would
give an index to the knowledge Of the
subject under examination, would be
pertinent and proper. But we fail to
see the pertinency or sense Of many
questions propounded to the teachers
in the recent examination, which seem
rather to indicate the ignorance or
crankiuess of those who prepared
them, than correct answers would
touch the knowledge and capability of
applicants to teach. The criticism of
the Abbeville Medium is so timely and
well put that We adopt it in toto with
out comment. Our cotenlporary
says:
Some Of the questions at the recent
examination of teachers here were
very searching and evidently evolved
by some one who regards the present
State officials as already historic char
acters. Under the head of "H1sroRY -
we find the following:
Who are the present United States
Senators from South Carolina? The
United States Representatives, and the
districts they represent?
Describe the State Government and
name its departments? The officers
now filing them?
What is the Department of Agri-
culture? Its duties? Who is the
present Commissioner:
What is the Clemson Bequest? Its
amount and purpose?
These questions would more pro-
perly have come under the head Of
"PoLlrIcs." History, in its generally
accepted meaning, IS a narrative OF
past events; "a statement of the pro-
gress of a nation or an institution,
with philosophical inquiries respecting
effects and causes. % Now we submit
that a person might be avery capable
teacher and yet not be able to give y
very lucid explanation of what will be
the philosophical effect of the present
administration of the State govern
ment. So also a person might be able
to teach common school and yet not
be able to tell the amount of the Glenn

"Well, I don't see why you haven't
the same right to establish rule as
the plaintiff. If you had a rule not to
pay at all It could not hold good in
law, but as your rule seems to be to
pay what is fair unreasonable shall
entertain it.
"But, your Honor" protested the
plaintiffs lawyer, "this rule was estab-
lished by a man doing a large business
with the public"
