The County Sunday School Convention.

The County lnter-denominationsl Sunday
School Convention will meet a. Foster s
Chapel August 10th and 11th and it is
hoped that every Sunday School in the crun-
ty will be represented by a full delegation.
1t is the desire Of the officers of the Con
vcntion to make the approaching meeting a
success, that more efficient work may be done
for the Sunday School cause the ensuing
year, and tc accomplish this, hearty practi-
cal cooperation is necessary
The programme contains queries Of vital
importance to the cause, and it is hoped
that every School in the county will be rep
resented, that every superintendent, teacher
and scholar may reap the benefit of the
interchange Of opinions on the subjects pre-
sented; 50 let each school be fully repre-
sented. $. S. STOKES,

GaS" There is no dispensary i. :h:s
town, aud we have not heard whisper OF
suspicion that there was n blind tiger"
here. Sobriciy and good order reign sm-
p"eme in this beautiful town of Union.
friend from the country last week told
us that the good effects of closing the bar
rooms in Union was very apparent in his
ncighborhood. lilo says there is no running
to town every few days by certain men. and
going home full" inside and out, and
auarrclsome. Instead of that their crops
are worked better. and everything at home
and around them is moving along quietly
and smoothly.
1t is practical prohibition here, and it is q
very happy state of affairs, which we sim
cerely hope neither dispenSary or "blind
tigers will interfere with.
We don't know .hat any Stale Dispensary
detectives are nosing about here. watching
for "blnd tigers, hut if thero are, we
hope they vii do their duty.
Otner towns are testing the dispcnsary
law by voting for dspcnsaries to be located
hibitory features fairly tested in Union, by
having no barrooms, no diSpensary and no
"blind tigers in operation here
We have no faith in the state law standing
long under either the local dispenssry or
prohibitory provisions. We consider pro-
hibition almcst au impossibility, while We
think the manner Of conduc lug the local
dispensares will soon become SO loose anI
flexible rs 10 override the moral restrictions
of the law and make them greater nuisances
than ordinary barrooms, to the utter disgust
of all decent people.
We are doing AZ well in Union, we think,
without rmlnshuis OF any kind, as other
places with dispcnsarics, and ii there is a
tiger in town II Is no more than in towns
with dispensarics

TIMELY ADDREss.-The meeting of the

giving tone to it, should meet at least onco
a year and discover wha: manner of men

tor'al characters and enable them to be
more Jnst IN Their controversies on public
measures.

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 crammed, 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 l21
cents per yard and they con give you no
intelligent answer. But at a thought almost
any of them without the aid of either pen or
pencil will tell you $l.25. This, Of course
10 n -r ..~>.~.,:.,- --:.L ,--I;oI --,urc
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 ondangerng, if
net totally destroying the reasoning powers.
The teacher who teaches mathematics sue
cessfully must necessarily be mathemati-
clan himself. He can't teach successfully
what he doesn't fully understand. lie ar
ranges his class before the blackboard and
submits proposition. 1t may be taken
from book or it may be one of mis- own
coming it matters not. He explains i, in all
its parts, giving the general rule in HE own
language and in his own way. lie then
begins the solution of the problem by the
| aid of characters, as 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, he 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 (iuriug the
new school term at least) are so crowded
that it is impossible for teacher to 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 in the same way.
Thus they go through with that part of the
book without learning q single thing in it.
Still. they can turn to that part of the book
e: any time aa1 work out any Of the exam
Piles but if another one Of L similar nature
was given them that they had not found in
the book they would be at q loss to know
what was required to solve it, Let our
teachers see that principles and not books
alone are Taught.

RslS" We publish III another column so
much of the proceedings Of the late meeting
| of the State Alliance rs has been given to
the public.
No doubt many arc disappointed at the
very conservative proceedings of that body,
hHrisonA and 'ptrsUuur- ia. .'n,ciiiE wuhru
seriously disturb its harmony. But, from
| our outside standpoint, the cool, wise and
| patriotic course of the late President had
much to do with preventing any disscntious
| and in restoring htrmony aud brotherly
| feeling among tho members. IL is evident
| to us that he thinks more Of the good of the
order than tho advancement Of his own
| interest OF the qualification of his personal
ambition. The unanimous passage of the
resolutions endorsing his character rs n man
and rs II mcmbcr and officer of the order
was II wc'l-dcscrvcd compliment
We fear, however, the passage of the rcso-
| lutions demanding that candidates for State
and county Offices shall pledge their loyalty
to the Alliance dcmsnls aud to discuss those
demands in the coming campaign, will not
meet with unanimous aud hearty endorse
mcnt from the members of the order, much
less those outside of il. 1t is an arbitrary de-
mand upon each man vino dires to offer him
self rs II candidate and we do not believe the
majority of the independent voters and
citizens Of the State are willing 20 subject
themselves or their favoritc candidates to
| such narrow restrictions in their political
views. They originated in an extreme cor
ncr Of the Alliance, aud will, no doub', lie
considered too extreme to be prudent or

BaS" The lynching Of the three negroes
Mt CASTOR, in Lexington county, last Mon
day. was n horrible affair, but not more
horrible, in our opinion, than the crime
they had committed and for which they
were made to suffer.
We fully agree with our esteemed cotem-
yorary, the GrcenuWc Ncws, in the follow
ing:
"For our part we are entirely willing that
all the people Of South Carolina should be
regarded rs sympnlhizing with the CASTOR
lynching. There should not have been tor.
ture or unnecessary insult even to the ring
leader, because those things deprive the act
| of the dignity and decorum which should
always mark the taking of human life. Sc
far as the criminals are concerned we think
few people will be sorry for them. Th ey
deserved all they suffered. Their crime wa.

Farewell Church Social.

Yesterday evening the beautiful
parlors and galleries of Central
Union Church were thronged by old
and young members of the congre-
CATION and invited friends. The oc-
casion was social given by the
ladies to bid farewell to Rev. VIM.
RAIDER Of Oakland, California, who
has relieved Rev. DR.. Beckwith for
several Sundays in the pulpit most
acceptably. After some time spent
in social conversation, during which
the guest of the evening was intro
duced to those who had not pre-
vlously met him socially, the finest
of ice cream and a great variety of
delicious cake were served to the
large company. Mrs. P. G. Jones
and Mrs. j. o. Carter received all
the visitors at the parlor entrance
and bade them make themselves at
home. In the course Of the evening
Mr.. T. Nj, Starkey was asked to favor
the company with a song and he
complied in good style to his own
accompaniment on the piano.
