SANTuc, Aug. IA very pleasant social
gathering was picnic at Jeter's mill on
Broad river last Thursday, 2sth ult Quite
o large crowd, but not "crowded" one, was
present, and all seemed to enjoy themselves.
On the 2S'h, 29th and 80th Of July, at
tended the Baptist Sunday School Convention
which met with the Mt. Joy Church (Kelton) J
and will briefly report some of the proceed
ils:
Promptly at the appointed hour the off
GERS and almost all Of the delegates from all
over the county were present, and the people
Of that community had come cut TO receive
them.
oa opening, the president, Mr.. ]. II. Ran
dolph, made short address, stating that
Mt. Joy was the home, the birthplace of the
Convention, as it was the place where it was
organized, Jan. 20, 1887, but it had come
back TO see the "home folks" Rev. w. T..
g. Humphries, in behalf Of the church, res
ponded in touching manner, welcoming il
home.
Upon call for reports, eighteen schools
responded, showing splendid membership.
and that they had made some splendid con.
trioutions to various objects since the last
meeting. Sixty-fve delegates were report.
ed, but goodly number were absent.
All OF the committees were prompt in re-
porting.
The discussions Of tho subjects of this
meeting were interesting and edifying, thew
being for both Church and Sunday School
work Steps were taken to see if the
churches could not in some way form them
selves into pas,orates without DESTROYING
their independence.
This meeting brought toto the treasury
$40, $40 Of which will be given to the Connie
Maxwell Orphanage, and the balance to the
State Missions.
On Friday night quite large congrega-
ton was present to hear an excellent sermon
from Rev j. ii. Marlborough, from Luke % {:
40 43.
On Saturday night the Super:ntendeuts'
Conference was held; and q good conprcpa.
tion went to the church to hear and take
part in the discussion Of their subjects.
Fhe Sunday School met as usual ON Sun
day morning, and after getting through the
lessons, was addressed by Messrs. d. N. viii
burn, X. +. Ray, J. II. Randolph and Rev ;.
j. N. Booth; after which Rev. j. Ii. Yarbor.
ough preached the missionary sermon, from
John 3: IL. II was an excellent sermon.
and the house was packed 10 almost suffooa-
tion, while large number were compelled
TO remain outside.
After preaching the Convention was called
10 order, to hnish up the little remaining
business it then adjourned to meet again aI
Mt. Lebanon, in October.
The entertainment of delegates aud visit.
ors could not be surpassed by any commu
nifty. The tables were well flied with the
most appet'zing viands, aud cheerful faces
Of everyone showed that they considered
themselves as having the best home in the
community. Everyone, both male aud fe-
male, seemed to be Interested in the welfare
Of all aud nothing was left undone to add TO
their comfort.
We had asplendid rain here Sunday even
ing, and cotton is responding quickly. Il
is growing rapidly, and bids fair to attain a
good size, II 1t does not fruit heavily.

To the Voters of Union County,
JoNEsvILLE, s. c., July %

JoNEsvILLE s. c., July 20, 1893.
Mr.. EDITOR II desire to say to the citi-
zens of Union county through your paper
that regret my inability to canvass the
county. l am satisfied that they will look
at this matter sensibly and not think that I
would not enjoy visit round the county to
see my friends and neighbors. 1t is we'll
known to the people of the county that
have no time to lose in solving the greatest,
the most important and most difficult prob
lem to me that have ever encountered :;
that is, how shall we meet the storm that is
crushing banks, bankrupting nercha nts,
turning the farmer into the streets and
roads, threatening TO drag the laborer to the
edge of starvation and the landowners max
ing titles of their lands through the sheriff
to millionaires, who have been enthroned
on all places Of power and are cutting the
country of it's wealth. i am striving to
make living for myself aud family by hon
est toll
My countrymen, there are gloomy days
ahead. Will you act in time 10 avert the
worst ? In thought and sentiment the
small business men of the country must
take part. Learn why panics occur, why
trade is depressed andme sad and despon-
dent. The trusts are eating us up; we have
had the warning and let us act.
In the wind up cannot help saying in
the way OF suggestions, to watch the dark
secret caucuses that are liable TO take place
by little selfish rings. Vote for the man
that your own judgment suggests. vote for
men that you think will stand firmly ON
principle and not policy. AS to myself,
say, you all know me. / am CORY that
cannot, on account Of my work, 20 round
and see the people. If you elect me to the
legislature promise to look aflcr the inter
ests of the people with all the epegy and
ability that can command, by filling the
Offices Of the country with men that will
stick TO and advance the reform cause at the
ballot box and in the office, in q way that
will secure to the people n restoration of
their rights, That they may have a voice in
the structure Of our government.

Bag" There is no dispensary in this

are worked better. and everything at home

1t is practical prohibition here, and it is q

cerely hope neither dispensary or "blind
tigers" will interfere with.
We don't know that any State Dispensary
detectives are nosing about here. watching
for "blind tigers" but if thero are, we
hope they viii do their duty.
Otner towns are testing the dispensary
law by voting for dispensaries to be located
in them, but we would like to see its pro-
hibitory features fairly tested in Union, by
having no barrooms, no dispensary and no
"blnd tigers" in operation here.
We have no faith 10 the State law standing
long under either the local dispensary or
prohibitory provisions. We consider pro-
hibition almost al impossibility, while we
think the manner Of conduc Jog the local
dispensaries will soon become so loose and
flexible rs 10 override the moral restrictions
of the law and make them greater nuisances
than ordinary barrooms, to tho utter disgust
of all decent people.
We are doing ~ well in Union, we think,
without rumshops of any kind, as other
places with dispensarics, and il there is a
tiger in town it is no more than in towns
with dispensaries,

One of the greatest faults we find with
teaching at the present day, in some of our
country schools especially, is that the lessons
are erammed, rather than taught. The child
is hurried through the primary course and
in few months is found wrestling with
studies which properly belong to an acad-
emical course.
In nine times out of ten you may ask those
pupils some simple questions, as for instance,
"what will 10 yards of cloth come to at l2I
cents per yard and they can give you no
intelligent answer. But at a thought almost
any Of them without the aid of either pen OF
pencil will tell you Sl.25. This, Of course
10 q r~y--- 50 -.~~--:-.- --;.L --I;aI .,turp
has provided them and for which the teacher
(so-called) is in no way responsible.
What is true in this is equally true with
other studies. The mind must have time to
digest the thought and cannot be gorged
beyond its capacity without endangeriug, il
not totally destroying the reasoning powers.
The teacher who teaches mathematics sue.
cessfully must necessarily bo a mathemati-
clan himself. He can't teach successfully
what he doesn't fully understand. He ar
ranges his class before the blackboard and
submits proposition. 1t may be taken
from a book or it may be one of his own
coming, it matters not He explains it in all
its parts, giving the general rule in his own
language and in his own way. He then
begins the solution of the problem by the
aid of characters, ss figures, putting every
thing in its proper place so that to an edu-
Gated eye the work will fully explain itself.
Thus he goes on until he gets through. Then,
to prove his work, hs orders his class to
open their books and refer to the rule while
he goes over his work again explaining each
step taken. When he finishes, the pupils
who have given proper attention, are fully
conversant with the proposition in every
detail.
The book must be used to prove that the
teacher is correct, rather than for the teach
er TO prove that the book is correct. He
should know how to teach principles and
not books, merely.
Most Of our country schools during the
new school term at least) are 80 crowded
that it is impossible for teacher 10 do as he
would wish. Consequently, he is forced to
take "Digh cuts" ON his duties, and he ex-
poets more of his pupils than they have the
capacity for doing. For instance, if he has
class in multiplication and the juveniles
crowd him for help be gets rid of them by
telling them to multiply one number by the
other" and that all the propositions under
that heading are worked 10 the same way.
Thus they 60 through with that part Of the
book without learning q single thing in II.
Still. they can turn TO that part of the book
at any time and work out any Ct the exam
pies but il another one of similar nature
was given them that they had not found in
the book they would be at loss TO know
what was required to solve il. Let our
teachers see that principles and not books
alone are tapght
