With this issue of the COURIER
our connection with the "Teachers'
Column is severed. Our term of
office as School Commissioner is
ended. We herewith present School
Commissioner-elest, n. w. Maoau-
lay, who will, we trust, take upon
himself the mantle and lead the
teachers and the public and private
schools to a success hitherto un-
known in Oconee County. We
trust he will ~resurrect the "T'eachers'
Association" which collapsed with
the closing of the schools for vaca-
tion last summer. These confer
ences of teachers are of inestimable
value to the teachers themselves, and
can be made to be of immense bene-
fit to the communities in which they
are held. Mr.. Macaulay has an en-
viable reputation as a pedagog. He
ID not unknown to many communi-
ties in this and Anderson counties.
His career as a teacher has been
marked with abundant Gee He
has made teaching his profession
since he came to this county. To be
a successful School Commissioner re-
quires an extensive knowledge of
human nature, and a great degree of
industry and perseverance. MI.
Macaulay's knowledge of the weau-
ing machine, however, is of short
duration. All in all, we are inclined
to believe the way is clear for the
schools to succeed under the Com
missionership of Mr.. Macaulay.

DEAR COURIER: The weather is
piercing and braoing. The roads
never were better, the weather be-
ing dry and but little freezing.
These dry atmospheric. falls are ia
vorable omens of a good wheat
crop. Those who SOW in hope will
not reap in despair, we predict. Let
all progressive farmers try their
hand on n acre. Forty bushels
can be made to the acre. If the

public benefactor, what Of the man
that doubles the yield of the royal
grain, wheat, the STAFF of if? It

The T.. A. r. r. r. is furnishing

The heavy blasting in the direc~

We have read portions Of Gov.

The girls have always been neglected,

Have you read DIR. Talmage's last
sermonp We beg space to comment
on his idea of wine drinking, aas
Christmas, the holiday season, is
near, when eggnog,. reyelry, merry;
making, Whiskey and pistols will Je
used. The New York divine visited
Cana Of Galilee and was shown the
identical Waterpots in which Christ
turned water into wine and his con-
|Musion is, |" not one drop of damning
alcoholism" was in that wine. This
is nothing but a correct thesis in
which the writer arrived at yearg
ago, and is in perfect keeping with
Christie purity. Again he says he
travelled throughG Greece, Italy, Egypt,
Palestine, Syria and Turkey and saw
no one drunk! Five grand realms
of the earth and not one drunk man!
Again he says that the difference be-
tween the wine that Christ made at
Cana at Galilee and New York wine
is, that the Lord made one and the
Devil made the other. Again he
says among the inventions of the
day he hopes some device may be in
vented that wine may be kept sweet.
The writer has been making wine
and dramatically sealing it for me-
dicinal and sRoramental purposes for
years and begging u churches and
physicians to use no otherl To re-
quire all the little boys and girls to
assemble around the Lords table and
initiate and vitiate the taste in their
tender age is only paving the way to
the drunkara''s grave!i The church
doing the thing she proposes not to
DO. "Oh! consistency, thou art a
Jewel! ]" b. Il. *.

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
THE OLD METHOD OF FARMING.

How awfully hard were the old ways of farming,
As sad recollection presents them to light
The old iron pillow that was drawn by the oxen
Those solemn old oxen that wouldn't 60 right
The planting of corn, the broadcast hanG-sowlng,
The cutting out weeds with hoe from the
corn;
The back-achng work of killing up eaters
That made us long so for the sound of the horn,
The old tin resounder that called US to dinner
How blest was the time that we heard the tin
horn.
And then came the haying with wearisome labor
Of cutting, with scythe, the grass to make hay
OF raking with mandrake, OF pitching and load
ing.
And sweating to death as we moved it away.
Then harvesting grain with long-fngered era
dies,
The binding with straw-twas hard and so
slow.
The threshng with fails or tramping with oxen,
And cleaning from chaff when strong wind
would blow,
The old-fashoned harvest, that awful hard har-
vest,
That back, breaklng harvest, we're willing should
How different now are the methods of farm
ing!
We turn over ground with a steel riding pillow;
We hoe with sulky, cut grass while Were rid
Rake and load with the horses and put in the
NOV.
How sweet is the sound of the twine-bindng
reaper
To those who remember the cradles bright
CLEAN,
And the noise of the thresher, the puff of the en-
CINE,
AS they turn out the grain so fast and so clean,
The vibrating thresher the swift runningthresh-
er,
The steain-power thresher, that threshes so
clean.-Anon.

A RESULT OF HEREDITY.
The Origin of the Pious Shepard's Appetite
for Stages,

NJ. Cioiture is writing a book upon the
subject of ''Heredity and Heraldry.'' It
will be an ingenious work. One chapter,
says Eugene Field in the Chicago News,
Is devoted to exploding the curious case
of Col. Elliott F. Shepard, the New York
journalist. 1t seems that Col Shepard
has until quiet recently had his agents in
Constantinople seeking to convert the
Sultan to Christianity. 1t is alleged that
the enterprlsing journalist sent word to
the Sultan that he would hand him his
check for 81 900. 900 provided he 1.-THE Sui
tam would submit to baptism in the faith
and would declare his allegiance to Chris
tianity.
This startling story interested the
French Savant in Col. Shepard. and he
has advanced most interesting theory
concerning that picturesque person. Ac-
cording to NJ Cloiture, Shepard is a lineal
descendant of Jack Shepard. the festive
highwayman who was the terror of stage
coaches 140 years ago. The descendants
of this dashing robber were, many of them,
God-fearing and most worthy folk, and
the pu-itanical schooling of more than a
century has given to the generation of
which Elliot F. is the illustrious head
distinct touch of piousness. Heredity.
however, is more potent than art, and there
is no teaching competent to etface or alb
sorb faint in the blood Accordingly,
therefore, it is quiet natural. argues NJ.
Cloiture, that we should find this Shepard
of the nineteenth century exhibiting to
degree one of the instincts of that equally
enterprising ancestor who fourished and
came to grief in the eighteenth century.
As the first Shepard made a practice of
holding up the stage lines eentering in the
British metropolis, so has this latter
Shepard evinced the grand old family
spirit by seeking to hold up stage line
in the American metropolis, illustrating
by the exploit not so much the audacity,
valor and combativeness of his nature as
that force of heredity which is the marvel
of religionists and scientists alike.
