We have received and read a 'History
aof South Carolina compiled and arrang-
led by John Langdon Weber, School
Commissioner of Charleston County. It
lis "a neat little volume containing POI
pages and is divided into so chapters. It
rs intended for use among primary pu-
pills.
Necessarily, the history of our State
must be greatly condensed to be embrac-
led in so small volume. But there are
.annmber of subjects that are passed with
scarcely notice that deserved it more
than some that receive considerable at
.tention. Only about fourteen pages are
devoted to the part performed by South
& Cardinals patriotic citizens and gallant
srso1diers in the war between the States,
while over. twice that space is given to the
Revolutionary. War. No mention is
made of |" Our Women in the War;" who
surely deserve a chapter for the trying
part they heroically bore.
The History seems to be fairly well
adapted to primary pupils until it COM
mences the reconstruction period. From
that to the end of the work, which gives
the result of last years elections, we
think teacher would find it an undesir-
able text book. For instance, the names
of all u. s.. Senators and Congressman,
and in some cases the defeated candidates
for Congress, are given with precision
that would lead one to believe that every
Congressma.. and every defeated candi-
date had shone as stars equal 70 the illus
trious Calhoun in South Carolina's histo-
ry. What sane teacher would want pu-
pills to memorize the names Of all the
Congressman that have represented South
Carolina since she became State? And
ofwhat historical Importance is it toknow
the names Of men who have tried to be-
come congressman, Governor, Judges,
dc., and have failed? If that ia the price
to be paid for getting ones name in his
tory it is easily paid, for it is not hard to
become defeated candidate for any Of
flee.
5 While the history is very readable book
I from first to last, and highly interesting
as whele, a serious objection to it IS that
itrecites much that does not rise to the
dignity and importance Of history, and
which, therefore, no teacher would care
( to have pupils to learn as part of the
H istory of the Palmetto State.

Twelve Acres u the Mule.

LSIoS, S. c., Oct. 3.-A meeting c. the
farmers of Fish Dam township was held
last Saturday at Carlisle. a good num-
Der of farmers were present, both white
and black. The object OF the meeting
was p general discussion of the :'ten-acrcs-
in-cotton plan" The meeting was a
GOOD one and full Of interest. J. e. Rice
was elected chairman and spirited dis
cussion ior and against the ten-acre plan
ensued. It was very apparent that every
one was in favor of decreasing tho acre
are in cotton and increasing that ofgrain.
The only point of discussion was the
number of acres that it would be best 10
cultivate. Twelve acres was finally agreed
on; every Eembcr pledging himself
not to plant over that amount, in cotton,
to tho plow, next year.-Concpondencc

ANDERSON AS A COTTON MARKET.

On last Saturday i've hundred and
ninety-six bales Of cotton were sold on
& the streets of Anderson. Of this number
five hundred and ninety-fve bales were
= new cotton.
The prices paid varied as to different
grades, but the cotton made splendid
average and usually sold at about 81 cents.
Some was sold at 81.
Nearly $4,000 must have changed
hands by the sale Of this cotton. Every
body. was in good spirits, and many
heart beat merrily to the jingle of the
i dollar in the pocket
Let it be remem bsred that the Saturday
previous was red letter day, too, in the
handling of cotton in this market. For
these two Saturdays there was differ
ence of only one bale in the number sold
sand prices were about the same. For the
g two days, then, one thousand one hun
dred and ninety-one bales were sold.
That means that not far from S50,OO0
5were put into circulation in these two
days on our streets. That's surely re-
s2saying that Anderson city is the largest
cotton market in theup-country, and that
.sshe pays higher prices for cotton than
. any other city in the State, Charleston
only excepted.
The number of buyers in this market
sis large, and most of the cotton bought is
shipped direct to manufacturers. We can
snow recall the following buyers, and out
Of this number the seller can hardly fail
! fso get for his cotton all it is worth:

nodating weighers and brisk demand
for cotton. Another prime consideration
is that. this city offers for sale everything,

so that it is not only good market to sell

of all kinds.

SOUTHWEST SILVER CONVENTION.

To the prospeotors. miners. mine and claim
owners Of New Mexico, Arizona and West
ern Texus.
The depression that exists through,
out the southwest is due to the unnat-
ural depreciation Of silver and to the
evil effects caused by that portion Of
tho alien act that prohibits the invest
ment Of foreign capital in mining prop
erty in the territories. The object Of
the southwest silver convention that
is to convene on the 18th day of Dec
ember, 1891, inEl Paso, Texas, is to
discuss and take steps to remedy
these evils. No other subject but the
silver question and the modification
of the alien act will be entertained by
the convention, and all attempts to
perye-t she object Of this mass meet
ing Of miners by the introduction of
questions foreign to the principles for
which 1t was called, will be suppress
ed. The restoration of silver to its
normal value of parity with gold,

just discrimination against the miners
operating in the territories will en-
gage the entire energy aud time of
the assembled miners of the south
