Eta JANE, March 27.-Last Friday thi.
sect on was visited by quito storm ol
wind, ram and hail. 1t was heaviest n,
Skull Shoals and Sunnyside postoifices, un-
roofing buildings and uprooting trees in its
path, but no very serious damage WAS done
that we know Of.
Mr.. Samuel J. Hammett is ering
from very severe attack Of lagrippe.
Some of our farmers have had Mr.. Scruggs
laying of terraces for them, and they are
generally well pleased with his work.
The Nor.h Pacolet Al:Ilnce Union met at
ElBethel last Saturday. 1t was well at
tended; many Of our leading farmers were
present and gave their views upon various
subjects pertaining TO the craft" Several
orders for supplies were made up aud 1or
made purchases through that medium cx-
with tho terms and prices.
The immodera'e use of fertilizers was
generally condemned yet all felt more or
less guilty Of the crime, and many go ex-
pressed themselves.
Yesterday the North Pacolct S. :. C,nveu-
ton met at EBethel. There was general
turnout Of the peop c and every guaran ee
given that the work wouli be resumed with
its usual Wig T.. AS usual the ladies were pres
ent with their liberal contributions to the
edible fund. We have many good cooks,
that we will put against the world for fixing
up for convention or any other cause that
the ladies espouse so heartily as q christian
work
At a meeting of tho Eta Jane Alliance
Inst Saturday the following was adopted
after considerable discussion
Rcsotced, That we, the members of this
Alliance do recommend to our brethren of
the order that the practice Of letting par.
ties, not members of this order (but enc.
mics to it) get goods through The Exchange
lance Be discoatfhsuA aae ae4aprS Of tAs
those seeking the benefit of its trade be re-
quested 10 first become members OF the
order.
We verify believe the cotton craze will
give severe backset to the county this
year. Big crop and imaginary fancy
prices has had n tendency TO destroy any
good resolutions made in the past. With
many o the farmers il is kind Of a ''stop
thief business.
While we are g'al to note the fact that
our neishbors OF Gatfney City will soon be
listening to the hum of the factory spindles
and throbbing looms that will give employ.
mcnt 10 hundreds of industrious and vel
paid operatives, we are also glad that the
people of Union, Murphy's Mill and Lockhart
Shoals too, will soon be aroused at an early
hour by the drng-dong of the factory bell
We do hope and trust that the venerable
Editor Of The TINES will live to see tho cot.
ton mills, for which he has labored so long
and so assiduously, in full blast. In fact, ht
has cham mpioncd what seemed to be forlorn
hope which is soon to be a living reality.

The work on the Union factory site and

makes good showing of advancement.
But it is not tho factory alone that marks

One of the most critical o. recent writers
defines te'cbiog as the act Of presenting
objects and subjects Of thought 10 the pupil .
mind as occasions Of mental activity and
knowledge Instruction as the pupils activ
ity and knowledge, occasioned by teaching /;
and education rs the state Of mind produced
by instruction.
These definitions make teaching tho teach
er's act, instruction the pupils act, and
education tho result Of both. The practical
difficulty in using these terms in such raii-
cally distinct senses is the fact that they are
imbedded in literature as nearly syuony-
nous, being often used as identical and
interchangeable, and the Same is true Of the
oognate terms, teacher, instructor and edu-
Gator. Teaching is the application Of such
those mental activities that result in know
ledge, power aud skill its three immediate
and coordinate ends. Teaching is the
occasion, the pupils activity the cause, and
knowledge, power or skill the result.
Teaching includes both instruction and
tVhiuinR iustruc'ioH DeluS tnat part OF
teaching which results in knowledge, and
training that part which results in power and
skill While these different processes are
distinguishab!e in thought, they are not
separable in practice. Instruction is the
act Of presenting objects and subjects to
the pupils mind in such manner as to occa-
sion those mental activities that result in
knowledge. Instruction is the occasion,
the pupils mental activity the cause. and
knowledge is the result.
Training is the oscasioning and directing
of the pupils activities in such manner
q, to result in power aud skill, mental,
moral and physical. Training involves
doing or practice, with power and skill as
ends as to train an army of soldiers, to
tsUru u-au--uTUsu<ss,--ss-.-.-.----s
The words training and drill are practically
Synonymous.
Education is any process or act which
results in knowledge, or power, or .kIll.
1t includes not only teaching aud learning,
but all acts, processes and influences which
occasion these results, whether as scholar
ship, culture, habit or character.
Thus we see that education is more
comprehensive term than teaching, and
teaching more comprehensive than instruc.
ton.

BI1J~ Wade llaines, the alleged murderer
Of Miss Florence lIornesby, in Richland
county, who was sentenced TO DO hung last
Friday, was re,pited by Governor Tillman
just before the time Of execution, to the 2lst
of April. From what wc have read in the
Columbia papers, we think the respite was
not only prudent but mcrciful major
ity Of the people in that county appear to
have strong doubt as to llaines being the
guilty party; while the prisoner himself
persistsntly protests that he is Innocent of
the crime. The respite was read to him
during the religious exercises preparatory
to the expected moment of execution, when
the prisoner and his friends had given I'D
oil hope for respite or pardon, but up to that
time hc solemnly asserted that not only was
he innocent of the Grim, himself, but he
knew nothing about it. Governor Tiilman
visited the prisoner and talked with him in
his cell the day before, and, no doubt be-
came impressed with a doubt as TO his guilt
so temperiDg mercy with the stern demands
of justice, gave him the benefit Of that
doubt, in the hope that, if innocent Of the
crime some new light may appear to reveal
the guilty party and save him from An ig-
nomlnous death.

CorToN SEED OFT vs. LARD.-ws are q
strong believer in the use Of cotton seed oil
In the place Of lard We consider it health
ier and much cleaner, and as it costs less, it
is worthy trial In these times of high
priced lard and bacon. As an incentive for
our good housekeepers 10 give cottonlene q
trial, we republish The following commenda-
tion from our neighbor, tho Carolina Spar.
tan:
shoekley Long handed us sample Of
cottonlene last week for trial. When used
in making bread one cannot tell it from
pure fresh lard. 1t is made Of cotton seed
oil. is pure and clean and 20 per cent.
cheaper than lard 1t is claimed for it that
the same results saat =bs. secured by using
about two-Ihirds t6etquan'ity of lari com
monty used. Yd16table oils have been
largely used by the hivilized people of the
world and they are considered more health
ful than the animal fats. There is no reason
why the oil from cotton seed should not be
as good or better than lari.

Welded IN DEATH.-Pass Christian, Miss.
March l6.-A most startling discovery was
made here today Of the bodies of Miss Julia
Nunnemacher, daughter of Herman Nunue-
macher prominent merchant Of Milwau-
kee, and William f. Miller, also Of Milwau-
kee, both OF whom had been shot through
the head.
This afternoon q young boy found the
bodies In pine thicket on the north side
OF the railroad, about 200 yards from the
depot From the position in which they
were lying the supposlton is that the young
man must have first shot his companion
through the left temple aud then shot him
self behind the right ear and death in both
instances must have resulted Instantly.
The affair was evidently premedi,ated, as
Mr. Miller had borrowed pistol from one
OF the citizens on that morning. The deadly
weapon was found by his side, where it had
iallen after lie had fired the fatal shot.

4 Snare and q Dslusion,

- pneIe ana OeiustoH
We are not inclined 10 enter IN unpro6t-
able controversy about political rings aod
who have or who have net voice In nonf-
mating n candidate for Governor or any
other State officer for South Carolina: but
We will merely premise that IL TilIman,
lrby and Gary were to get together in
Washington or CoI"-.i,-- ....,: .....y up such
. slate as we published last week, Is there
any man in Union that believes tho State
Executive Committee, OF which Irby 10
Chairman and boss, would refuse to endorse
II? Not they. And any democrat outside
that rins would have no choice in the mat
ter but to submissively vote for II, or be do.
uouucei as Q "bolter" and "indepsndeui,"
and candidates on An apti-ring ticket would
be howlcd down and read out Of the demo-
cratic party, with their followers. Talk
about the people now having tho privilege Of
selecting candidate for Governor any
more than they had before the Farmers
Movement was iuaugurated, is political clap
trap.
Why Tillman and Irhy have such COM
plets control Of the machinery or orgauiza-
tion Of the democratic party Of this State,
through the State Executive Committee,
that it is considered treason to oppose them,
personally, or their mandates in manipulat-
ing the partys movements,
If such matters were "cut and dried' by
tho Columbia ring" under the former
organization Of the democratic party and
was such great crime against the
people, we ask if thcro is not q similar ling
now in Columbia, controlling the choice Of
q Governor and every other State official
And i, no. the crime equally as heinous
now, ms then? We know that orders have
boen issued from the Columbia ring, within
the past three years, that certain men should
be nominated or rejected for Office, and the
mandates we're scrupulously obcyed.
Don't we all know that democracy in
South Carolina ha, been submerged and
completely lost sight of in the turbulant
waters Of Tillmanism? The test of man $
Democracy in this State is his voting for
Tllman, and the best of Tillman's Democra.
cy is prescribing Of every individual or a
community tha, does not endorse him and
the Shell manifesto, written by him. And is i,
moi plain 10 every intelligent honest thinking
Democrat that rs many political excrcscences
as there are plain and fancy drinks in a city
barroom, have either been born outright or
strengthened from disgust at the dogmalic
assumption Of one or two men attempting to
control official positions in the interest of
their personal political friends? Is it not
time for Democrats to get back upon the
solid platform Of Democratic principles, and
not blindly follow the beck and call of one
or two men?
We always vote the ticket nominated by
the State Democratic Committee, but we are
not so green rs to think that we. n one of
the people, had any voice in selecting any
cand date Oh il, or not to know that the
whole matter had been "cut and dried,"
perhaps before the committee met, and all
We hal to do was to "follow the leader"
and vote it blind.

BrI"' A despatch from Washington, dated
March 27th, states that Senator lrby was too
sick to leave his bed that day, and had been
unwcll for two or three weeks. His case re-
minds us of what tho old negro said on
coming out of the water, spluttering and
blowing, when he was baptiz ed: Some
gcmmen am gwino to lose niggcr if dis
d-n foolishness ain't stopped South
Carolina will lose II Senator if lrby continues
in such bad health and don't change his
medical advisers. The other Senators may
not mss him, but, nevertheless, in his death
this State would be minus its minor Senator.
The despatch says: For tho past three
weeks DR.. Sampson Pope has been attending
the Senator, but now he has gone home
DR.. Strait, the Reform Congressman, is
