Bay We call particular attention to the
article in another column over the signature
Of Farmer" l; comes direct from the
farm, and is the sound practical advice or
suggestions of one of the best and most sue
cessful farmers in the State. lie has worked
out the problem Of raising cotton and buying
supplies, and he gives his fellow farmers The
result of his experience. 1t does seem rea-
souable to suppose that if iow price cotton is
sound reason for reducing the amount
raised, the present awfully high price for
bacon is a much stronger reason why our
farmer, should increase the "hog and HON :
my" crop this year. We see no brighter
prospect for higher prices for cotton than
there is for lower priced bacon. The Al
mighty appears to be ordering all matters
upon the Southern farms to compel the
farmers 10 conduct their farming operations
in sensible and profitable manuer.

naS~ Rain Rain Rain has "put q
damrer" on everything and every body.
With the exception of one or two days. it
has rnined almost necessarily day and night,
for about three weeks.
All the water courses are away out Of
their banks. All tho fords are impossible,
aud it is getting little ticklish to cross
some Of the bridges. We have not heard
that any of them have been carried away,
but we learn that nearly oil of them are
under water.
AS to farm work, that is impossible,
and the farmers are beginning to get restless
under the prolonged wet spell, as it is delay
ing their work badly. Scarcely rlow has
been started in the county. The time for
late sowing of oats is almost gone, and when
the ground is in order again, they will have
oil the work of preparing for cotton and
corn and sowing oats crowded on them at
once.

Town improvements.

1t is astonishing how quick the spirit of
enterprise and improv ement, will spread
through a c?mmuni,y-raricular u COM
munity that has laid dormant so long as
the town of Uuion has.
No sooner had the people determined to
build Factory than individuals began to
buy property and prepare 10 build resi-
dences.
Our enterprising old friend, Mr.. Jas.
Grant set the building ball iu mo'ion by
clearing of his Old brick yard and prepar-
ing to make brick. lie knew they would be
wanted and g"t ready to meet the demand.
The next to move was Mr.. Jos. d. Arthur,
the long time bookkeeper of the Merchants
and Planters bapk, who has contracted with
Mr.. Grant 20 bui.l him a handsome res
dence on his lot on Main street next to the
old Arthur dwelling.
Then comes DR.. ii. *. Smith, the popular
and prosper; us Dentist. He hos purchased
the fine lot on the corner next to the Meth.
odist Parsonage, on South street, and will
commence to build q fine residence on it as
soon as The weather will permit.
Then our enterprising friend, W. A. Nict-
olson has trapsfoI med the old john Rodgcr
residence. OH Main street, into one Of the
prettiest and most convenient dwellings in
town, making all the residents around it
look old fashioned, neglected and forlorn
looking buildings.
In year or two, the two acre lots in
Union will have o be cut into four to meet
the demand for building lots. May we be
spared to see what we have so long and so
earnestly worked for: this good old town
and this good old county Of Unicn united
and harmonious in the enjoyment Of gen
eral and substantial prosperity that shall
be fe't in every home and among all classes
of her people. Such will be the result if
we oil unite with determination 10 bring it
about. Keep the he'l now started with 50
much spirit and unity in motion. 1t will
grow rapidly and gather as it grows the
lukewarm and selfish, or make them feel so
Insignificant that they will get out of the
way and make room for better, because
more progressive, citizens.

To the Teachers.

We again call your special attention to
the contents the column set AZ art for your
special benefit. 1t is intende to make that
column means or sourcs. by which Teach
ers may teach Teachers and assist each other
in their work, for the public good. In ether
words, il is the wish aud ain Of the Editors
OF that column to make it weekly lesson
for the Teachers in all educ ,lioual matters
that will develop the easiest, but most eff
cient and impressive methods of d;schargiog
their high and important duties.
For some weeks the Editor-in-cbief pro-
vided oil the matter for the co'umn, without
assistance from any one. 1t was q new duty
suddenly imposed upon him, without prepa-
ra'ion on his part, and without any resource
but his own fertile brain from which TO draw
information to make it instructive and
attractive. He did his duty vel and faith
fully; but in the discussions at the Teachers
Association meetings there has been brought
to light so many new aud improved systems
anI methods of teaching in every depart
ment o, education, particularly in the ele-
mentary aud primary branches, so important
in cur public schools, that he felt he could
only do half cork in the cause of education
unless those who had knowledge and expert
ence in those new systems and methods
would come to his assistance, and instruct
their fellow Teachers in these new methods,
showing their advantages AMI efficiency in
impar'ing and receivi ng instruction in the
school room. Until that is done, and the
new methods are in'eligsntly adopted by the
Teachers, there will not, there c,nnot, be
any advancement in the work or efficiency
of the school room in Union County.
We are pleased to inform our readers, apd
the Teachers in particular, that the Assista mt
Editors are coming to the front and
other Te1chcrs have promised to send
contributions upon the latest systems and
methods adopted by the most practical and
successful educators in this and other States,
and we have every reason for believing
that the Teachers column of the TINES will
be the most attractive, as we'll as the most
valuable feature in its makeup.

The value of dull books in school training
is generally conceded, but doubt has been
raised respecting the use of knowledge
books, especially in elementary schools. II
is claimed that the knowledge presented in
school books, except such as is connected
with the school art, can be more readily
taught orally, and hence it Is inferred TINT
the use Of such books In elementary schools
is n mistake, But the fact claimed does not
justify the inference, sinceths prime object
of shool training is not the imparting of
knowledge so much rs imparling tho power
10 acquire knowledge. which includes the
power to acquire knowledge from books.
