Importance of Decilnals.

At our recent school meeting, We
have had decimal and common frac-
tions ably discussed. To children, the
name Of fractions seems to be syno-
nym CT all that is difficult, but by the
present system of teaching, some of the
intricacies are partially removed. Why
so much more attention is given to
common than decimal fractions We can
not tell, but the arithmetic seems to
call more attention to the former than
the latter.
When a child, we never understood
the significance of decimal point,
though we had some fine mathematical
teachers. In our own first teaching if
we had been rigidly examined on deci-
mails We wauld have gone whirling to
the foot of the list. Now. We think
that our teachers are, by examinations
and by intercourse with each other,
able to do better work than they were
thirty-fve years ago. The demand is
greater, hence, the supply must GER
tainly be greater. AS we have said, we
think, teaching better, but think we
are making quite mistake in having
SO much attention to common fractions
and so little to decilnals. In practical
life halls, fourths and eighths areabout
the only common fractions used, and
these are easily managed. In banking,
railroading, simple interest, etc., deci-
mails are almost entirely used, and this
is why we contend for more familiarity
with them. Children should be taught
to notate and numerate decimals well.
Many who are far advanced in arith-
metic will often err in a simple interest,
or any other percentage example by
notating the per cent. wrong.
Again fyou speak of gaining one
half it seems plain, but if you say 50
per cent, the pupil seems to be at a loss
to understand the expression. We
think decimals harder to understand
than common fractions, but if the
analysis cannot be satisfactory to the
young mind, we believe that the prin-
ciples can be so soundly impressed {
the mechanical process, being thorough
ly practiced, that they will be retained
until the mind is sufficiently developed
to take in the whole. We like analysis,
but must admit that by US there has
been many bit of knowledge learned
which has been Of incalculable value in
our life work. J. A. L.

REsENTS TILLMAN'S TALK.
MT. A. A. Glover, of Edgefeld. Former
Supporter of Governor Tillman, After
the Vile eLanguaee.Used in the Green
Vile Speech, Renounces his Ale
glance to Such Candi-

To the Editor of The News and Cou-
rier: In yesterdays issue of The News
and Courier appeared Governor Till
mans speech of Saturday at Greenville.
Your Reporter quotes him as saying:
II had rather 60 to hell with my fol-
lowers than go to heaven with the
other crowd.'
In the last campaign I was staunch
friend of Governor Tillman and worked
hard to have my club endorse him. l
have up to yesterday been 8 warm
friend of the Administration, but such
language, emanating from the lips Of
the Chief Executive of this proud and
grand old Commonwealth, is unbecom-
ing, and is reflection upon the people,
and I can no longer support him. A
man who under any circumstances
could wish to go to such a place is unht
to fill any position within the gift of
the people, and should by no means be
given the control of the Government.
Whatever may be said Of Mr. Shep-
pard, I cannot for one moment believe
that he would face the fair women and
children of our State and make use of
such language. The love that he bears
his wife, the welfare of his children,
both in this life and that which is to
come, the respect that he has for his
fellow-beings, if nothing else, would
keep him from doing so. Such langu-
age is not only indecent, bit is an
outrage upon society, and will tend to
demoralize the young men of our coun-
try.
His words, spoken perhaps on the
impulse of the moment, will be her
aided far and near, and I leave it to
him to say what effect it will have.
This plan of conducting a campaign
might suit the Governor and some OF
his followers, but I am one, and l know
of others, who would not follow him to
hell. In fact, if Governor 1illman
should start on such a journey, when
he gets there I am afraid his followers
would be few.
Now, Mr.. Editor, in conclusion, l
wish to urge those who have the love
and welfare of our State at heart, those
who wish to rid the State of all that is
immoral and impure, to unite, and at
the primary in August give their un-
divided support to Governor Sheppard,
a man loved by his countrymen.

Governor Tillman then went into the
railroad and bank litigation and re-
cited the causes that led to it and its
present status. Speaking on the free
pass matter he said. They say [ made
mistake. Well, our humble Saviour,

of this sort was said repeated "Let him

Tillman: Well I am glad but let me
say that we have no antagonlsm to
capital nor DO we wart to oppress it.
1t is not our purpose to have one law
for a corporation and another for
the people. We want equal rightS for
all and special privileges for nule.

instance, I suppose, ex-senator Cothran,
and James L. Orr helped to pitt that
infamous Radical scoundrel into office
over a gallant Confederate soldier
named Williams.
Referring to charge that his admin
istratiou had injured the credit of the
State, he said: I have been informed
that Piedmont stock has gone from l4O
to 10 since james l.. Orr became presi-
dent. Now, if, in one short year, he
wrecked that property and carried stock
from 40 to 10, in Gods name, where
would he carry the State bonds if be
were elected Governor? Laughter and
applause.l I am told, too, that he has
reduced wages there 10 per cent.
Col. Orr, interrupting: THAT is not
true.'
Tillman: "Well, 1, thank God that
you have denied it."
Orr: "You are mistaken about the
stock.n
Tillmau: well, H. B. Buist is my
authority. But it does not matter; Mr..
Buise is responsible for the statement"
About this time the cheering for Till
man became very loud and continued.
The crowd surged upon the stand,
taking his hand, congratulating him
on his speech and giving him their
pledges for continued support. Further
speech-making was impossible. The
crowd lifted him bodily from the stage
and conducted him to his carriage, IN
which he was driven off rapidly up the
street with Sheppard. The crowd dis
persed and rapidly followed the process
sion to the hotel, and so ended Till
mans Austerlitz in the Piedmont.

Governor Tillman showed from this
paper that from the earning of rail-
roads the taxation put upon them was
neither unjust nor oppressive. Yet the
News and Courier has rung the changes
on tyranny in taxation and other pa
pers have taken it up.
He charged the railroads with going
into the Federal courts with the object
OF embarrassing the finances of bis ad-
ministration. O! what howl they
raised when it was said that Coun-
ty Treasurers had been instructed to
refuse the tender Of payment. 1t was
taken up and repeated and Colonel Orr
stated it.
Col. Orr-"I did not make that state
ment.'
Tillman-"Truth can never overtake
a lie."
Col. Orr-"Well, it has overtaken
one now."
After some further parley Governor
Tillman took up Orr's speeches at Lau-
rens and elsewhere and read his state
ments concerning him, the Governor,
on his refusal to extend the time for
the payment of taxes, etc. Referring
to Orr's statement that the people were
in as bad a condition now as they were
in '76, he said: "Great God, has it come
to this, that the masses of honest yeo-
many shall have their present mis-
fortunes compared to those in Radical
days under Chamberlain
Concluding this branch of the dis
cussion he said: II do say that when
this man said that I am unfit to un-
latch the shoes of Judge Wallace be
went beyond the limit of human endu-
rance. He used the language OF John
the Baptist about the Saviour. Now !

A Correction.

The correspondent of The Herald
News, who reported the Association
meeting at Johnstone's Academy, GER
tainly misapprehended our remarks, on
'The necessity of reading the Bible in
school," I did not and do not hold that
the ''classes should read much" but ]
did and do hold that the Bible should
be used in the opering exercises of
schools, and fundamental truths should
be impressed upon the children. This
I conceive to be our duty not only as
Christians, but as educators.
