The teacher does not develop the minds
Of the pupils, nor docs he determine tho
order Of their development.
Nature is the real educator, of whom he
is only an assistant, aud to whom, in general
and in particular, he looks for guidance.
BY observation and study, the teacher
becomes acquainted with the laws of
mental growth and development. and is
governed BY them in choosing objects of
knowledge and in presenting them to bis
pupils.

above the city of Laurens for attempting an
outrage upon two little white school girls,
one II years and the other about 8 years,
on their way from school. The children

County Teachers Association.

This last meeting proved no exception to
the rule, the exercises being very pleas SAINT
to oil who attended, and full of valuable
hints and sueg' slions to those engaged in
the work of teaching.
Mr.. 8. Nj. Rice, Jr., the President, was
promptly on hand at the hour appointed for
opening, aud The Association was called to
order shortly after eleven o'clock.
After devotional exercises a beautiful
vocal duet was rendered by Mrs. W. L.
Thomson and Miss Lily Dawkins.
The first subjec'. South Carolina History,
was then taken up, Mr.. L. W. Dick opening
the subject by reading paper, in which he
strongly urged the importance Of this study
in our schools, and .ct forth some of the
advantages to be derived from its pursuit.
MIR. +. L. Wilson then took the floor and,
with the aid of the blackboard, gave prac-
tical illustration Of the method he pursues
in teaching the history of our State.
Miss Sue Jeter, the last one appointed ON
this question, read n carefully prepared and
valuable paper; after which the subject
was thrown opened for general discussion
and was participated in by Mrs. Clifford,
Miss Knight, ami others.
The next feature Of the meeting was a
vocal duet by Misses Annie Briggs and Lily
Dawkins, which was finely rendered and
greatly enjoyed by the audience.
Mis-. Lula Wood then recited in a charm
ing manner piece entitled "The Midnight
Express.
Mrs. b. G. Cliff f,rds paper on practical
English in Schools" was cmineutly practical
and directly applicable to n question of such
great importance among educators.
This was followed by q paper, read by
Miss Carrie Foster, giving somo pertinent
sugges ions in the matter of impressing
correct forms Of speaking and writing on
the minds Of the pupils.
After some interesting discussion of the
very pretty insifiHiaR insifahasRhtHsr tHrs IsrGr.d with

Under the head Of business, two If N.
BOOKS that had been promised were present.
ed TO the Association, and several others
were promised. One of the book, had
been sent by Mrs. Morrison, as the gift Of
tho late MIR. Morrison, and it will be dearlv
prizea by the Association, not only on ne.
count OF its intrinsic worth, but also IN
account Of the love and esteem in which
Mr.. Morrison was held by the teachers of
Union county.
Mt. y. l.. Strain could not be present.
oVing to sickness, but sent the book he had
promised. The fimiliar face ard genial
presence Of eur Editor was missed, and his
enforced absence greatly regretted by hi,
fellow teachers.
The attendance of teachers wps very
encouraging, and The number of visitor.
present was even larger than usual.
The thanks Of all who attend those mesi-

If the Dispeussry law prohibited or stop
ped the sale Of whiskey, we would not say
word against it, or that it closed up the
barrooms aud deprived the town Of the
revenue from them; bul i, does not. Whi,-
key will be sold here still. The only diff
ference will be in changing barkeepers and
selling it by the half piut by State author

whiskey selling will continue under and by
Political sanction and favoritism, or sur
repti,iously, and the town will have all the
annoyance aud police expense as now, but
