BITES AT THE BATES.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
The following reply has been made
by Senotor Irby to communica-
ton received by him today from
Hon. w. TIC. Bates, State troas
urer of South Carolina:
"UNITED STATES SENATE,
"WAsHINGToN, D. c., Jan. 18th, '94
Hon. W. T. G. Bates, Columbia
S. G.:
"MY DEAR SIn-I havo your lot
ter OF the 18th inst, in which you
make inquiries as to what i think
could be dono in reference to hold
ing factional convention of tie
reform party Of South Carolina,
to which I answer hastily but
frankly.
81 regret as deeply as you to see
tho division in tho reform move
mont of our State. The purposes
for which it began have not been
accomplished, and cannot be, with
out the exercise of harmony, JUS
tlce, common sense and fair deal-
ing. l have had but one purpose
from the very beginning
and that was to do my duty by it
to the very best Of my ability.
Notwithstanding this, I have beon
prosecuted by men supposed to be
prominent in tho reform move
mont, from the very beginning,
until | made up my mind that ]
would not submit to it any longer
and appealed to true mon among
lis to protect me against such DO
litical assassination. 1t is not nv
fault that we havo these evidences
OF division in our State. I fur
nlshed no excuse for ovory reform
or who goes into Columbia from
tho rural districts, to the State
house, to be taken to ono side and
groomcd and prejudiced against
1rby's management of tho party,
when even the .anti's themselves 8
acknowledge that my conduct as
chairman has been perfectly fair,
"I am unwilling that third
party loader take charge of tho re-
form movement in South Carolina
and thus dictate the nominees of
the democratic party. / am satis-
fed that the pooplo of the State
will not submit to. it, and the
sooner he and others, who expect
to reap Office under him, find this
ont the better for him and the
movement.
"I answer you frankly rs to
what I think ought to be dono so
far as I can see. There are six or
seven other candidates for guber-
national honors. These mon have
been true and loyal and are all
able mon. They arc entitled, at
least, to a fair contest and tho pro-
lection of the principles of the
hrst March convention, the most
prominent of which was the right,
OF the people to name their cam
dldate instead of q ring in the
state house. 1t will be necessary,
oe1ore the campign that is to be
ordered by me, as democratic
chairman, that these contests sboll
be settled within the lines Of orr
faction and that after the peonle
have had timo to weigh and meas.

THE OFFICE OF THE TEACHER.

Many teachers seem to mistake
the duties of their high Office.
They throw all the work of in
structing tho child upon the par
ents, while they simply hear recl-
tations and ascertain how much
the parent has taught the child.
If something like this arrange
ment is to be carried on in the
schools, tho method should be re-
served and the teacher should do
the teaching while the scholar ro-
hearses to the parent. The teach
or is paid to teach and not to sit
like q bump on log and test the
children's requirements from their
parents care and instruction. It
is simply outrageous to load all
the work upon tho father and
mother, who pay taxes to provide
n teacher who shall teach. 1t is
the duty of the parent to help the
child in it's studies at home, but
the child ought not to be expected
to come to school with perfect
lessons or be marked down. If
the boy or girl is to learn every
thing outside of the school, then
the teacher had better give up tho
school and 60 to doing housowork
or some other useful work.-Far-
mers' Voice,

THE SCHOOH..
rhe Poor and Good Teacher.
nv NELLIE BURNS,

BY NELLIE BURNS.
There is one type of teacher who
has but ono object in view-hor
salary at the end of the month
When a school is afflicted with
such an impostor, tho loss to the
school can scarcely DO estimated.
There is 80 much independent
power vested in a teacher, there
being no direct supervisor, no spe-
cial employer to guard the details
of her work, that if she has the
disposition to shirk her duties she
can do 50 to great extent, and
still keep up all apparently good
form of school work. She can 60
through the formula of asking
questions from the book, and re-
ceiving the momorized answers.
But when it comes to that weary
ing task of expounding principles
to pupils slow of understanding,
teaching penmanship to awkward
little hands, and exercising that
much needed patience with schol-
ars of dull intollects, tho poor, in
different teacher simply does none
of theJe. She skins over the sur
face, and leaves tho pupil to the
choice of cropping alone through
the problems, or dismissing them
unmastered. Such teachers are
directly responsible for great
deal of the incompotency in life
Many q man, from having poor
instruction in mathematics and
penmanship in school, has strug.
gled at disadvantage all through
his business career.
But the good teacher-tho teach.
or with n conscience-let us turn
to her. She is stimulated by some.
thing higher than dollars. She
feels the responsibility of her po.
sition. She knows she is the foun-
tain head from which tho young
minds undor her charge must draw
their intellectual growth, and
knowing this, she fortifies herself
with conscientious patience for hel
work. She makes study of each
child's mind that she may be able
to give the special, individual hell
that is needed. She probes into
her pupils understanding to SEQ il
they comprehend the subject il
hand. She docs not skip OF care
lessly clip over principles that are
difficult of explanation, because
it requires a tedious exertion on
her part. She gives tho best of
her energies, earnestly and ardent
ly, to her labors. Heaven bloss
such q teacher.-The Whole Fam.

Teaehors employed in teaching
private schools in this county are
requested to report to the School
Commissioner the number of males
and females enrolled, the average
attendance, length of term, and
any other items that would be use
full in making u report of the pro-
gross of education in the county.
Are all Of our school houses in
good condition? If not, would it
not be we'll to fix up a little? The
School Commissioner of Anderson
county fixes them up in this wise ::
"rwo miles this side of Bolton
near the railroad we found Miss
Rosa Tribble located and attompt-
ing to teach in house unfit for
the purpose. There are cracks and
crevices everywhere, no windows,
and chimney but little moro than
half completed, and no suitable
accommodations for tho pupils in
the way of seats. 1t is the most
discouraging outlook wo have soen
and the teacher was evidently de-
pressed. She is worthy and cap
ablo teacher at great disadvan-
tage. Nothing much can bo ac-
complished whore teachers and pu-
pills are surrounded with SO much
discomfort. We hope tho patrons
there will do something to mako
their school house moro comforta-
bic Tor their Children"

mary election. This can not bo
dono with an carly convention held
and snap Judgment taken before

endorsement of the reform party.
1t savors. too much of the old ring
rule and Haskellite method and
our people will not countenance it.
This is perfectly fair and all par
tics Will bo satisfied; but the peo-
pie who boliovo in the theory and
system Of primary elections will
not stand for two or three mon.
ono u leador of the third and the
self constituted spokesmen of the
reform party, the other a traitor
to tho reform party who seeks, as
an omissary from tho enemy to
ruin tho reform party, and other
mon who desire Office, to fix up a
slate now, have it endorsed by a
convention as carly as March and

say this because, if their schome

respecting men would rather 20 to
