BROWNSVILLE
NORMAL Glass;


Last Saturday afternoon tho
Brownsville Normal Glass held their
regular meeting at the residence OF
Mrs. Cummings. The lesson for this
meeting was OH physiology and DIR.
f. j. Combe, by special request OF
the class, gave them a very interest
ing talk. The young doctors style
of presenting the subject was very
plain and clear, and will prove very
helpful to the class in their work.
Besides Mrs. Cummings family,
several of their friends were present
to hear the talk.
After the conclusion Of the reg
ular.work, Assumptions lunch was
served, which was Hospitality pro-
vided by Mesdames Cummings and
Seibert. The conversation was
sprightly and many laughable jests
were exchanged during the lunch.
The afternoon will long be remem-
bered by the class. Such interest as
their amiable hostessss take in their
work is very encouraging.

of tho Saluda County Commission
ers' meeting on last Monday, the
10Th, will notice that I voted against
ghe supplement as added to the
Mickler bid by them. Now, Now,
| voted against it for these rea-
sons: First, / believe that our at
torneys, Mcssrs. Folk & Folk, made

CATION, and an unbiased report of
all the bids (see their report as
published.) Second, The physi-
clans who furnished these certi6-
Gates under oath, and Mrs. Mick
ler and her daughter, who sent
the affidavits as to Mr.. Mickler's
ability and competency to make
the deed, certainly ought to know
more Sbout him, than | who have
not seen him for at least twenty
years. Therefore | accepted his
deed as a good and valid cne.

jSOME SOLID STUFF
From "sempllronicus."

Every teacher has in greater or
less degree realized that some
change should be made in the
course of study commonly pursued
in our public schools. Arithmetic,
Grammar, and History are "chunk-
ed" into the pupils, mind for eight
Or ten years and then he is turned
loose on the world to exercise the
important functions of citizenship,
and also to bring up family. He
may know the parts of speech in
grammar-how to pause an ordi-
nary sentence, but his mind is un-
steady as to the verb. He may
know enough arithmetic to work
simple interest, but this also will
be lost after a few years. He may
know that the United States has
been victorious in every war she
has waged, but for the life of him
he could not give you the basic
principles upon which our govern
ment is founded; he is sublimely
onlivious of the great issues to
which different interpretatio MS of
the constitution have given rise.
In a word, his knowledge of gov
ernmental affairs is not cleaned
from. reading, but from hearsay
and from standing on the edge of
the miserable political mud-pud-
die which collects in the average
county campaign in the United
States every two years. That such
person is untitled for all th'
higher duties of a citizen and the
nobler Offices of man, needs no
proof.
1t is our humble opinion that
our public schools pay too much
attention to Arithmetic. Grammar,
History, and Geoaphy and give 10
time to practical lessons on the
study civics and the elements of
natural science. That q kl owiedge
of the fundamental principles Of
politii ial economy should be in
stilled into the minds-of our COM
ing citizens, is truism long since
admitted.
But that study Of natural sci
ence will also serve as a mental
Stimulus in the public schools, is
by no means SO generously conce-
ded. Old fogies still hang for the

Mr.. EDITOR: If I haI been pres.
ent atthe meeting of the Commits
sioners at Red Bank, upon the re.
ceipi efthe report of our attorneys
Messrs. Folk & Folk, that the title
of the lands of the Mickler deed
was good and valid, | should have
voted for the adoption of said le-
port. for the following reasons, 10
wit: First, We employed attor-
neys to Investigate the title, and
think we should have accepted their
report without any supplement
thereto. Second, We have the
,worn certificates Of two physi-
Clans that Mr.. Mickler was compe-
tent to make the deed, as we'll as
the affidavits of his wife and
daughter to the same effect, and |
can not forbear repressing my ill.,
dignation at the action of the ma
jority of the Commissioners pres
ent IN adding a supplement to
cloud the Mickler title. when il had
been pronounced by able counsel,
Messrs. Folk & Folk, that it was
just as good as the Red Bank or
Emory titles.

A DIFFERENT KIT OF FISH

.sFly Not YETI From the Demo

EDITOR ADVERTISER: Thus far
two candidates have announced
themselves for Governor. The
platform Of one is: ~ am opposed

The platform of the other is: 81
ran once before and was defeated" :"
The people are not going wild over
either. These gentlemen have
brought themselves out, and it is
now time for the people to trot out
a dark horse. Who is the logical
candidate for Governor? The Alli-
ance is responsible for the Issue 8
aow before the people. The prin-
ciples of the Alliance are about 10
triumph in the coming fight. Be
sides, South Carolina is about to
leave the Democratic party, and
will seek an alliance with the new
Silver party of the West. That
being the case, who is more conf
petent to lead the Democracy of
this State than Joseph IL. Keltt, OF
Newberfy? He is president Of the
State Alliance. He is avowedly in
favor Of tie new alignmen: Of par
ties. He is sound OH the m oney
question. He is one of the purest,
nblest men eyer reared within the
borders of the State. There is but
one thing in the way of his being
ovarnor--he is too modest to an
nounce his candidacy. But the peo-
ple of South Carolina should not
let that be hindrance. With one
accord, they should force him to
the front, and insist upon his max
ing the race. Re:ora.ers should
remember that we arein great dan
ger of losing all that we have
fought for during these many years.
Docs it not behoove us, then. to see
tha, the next Governor of South
Carolina shall be u msu of sterling
worth, "A true Reformer and pa
triotlc citizen? Our slogan should
be. "measures. not men," There
fore, Joseph L. Keitt, State presi-
ident of the Farmers AL ance is the

child, even, these not. fully com

very air Of mystery, powerfully
impel tho child 10 renewed exer-
tions. And too, unlike the myste-
ries of Grammar and Arithmetic,
which BY their barrenness do not
invite the pupil to seek further
The mysteries of science wear Il
fresh and inviting look. Sir Wsl-
ter Scott says: "Children derive
impulses IF wonderful and I'M
portant kind from hearing things,
that they cannot entirely compre-
hend." Huxley, one OF the great
est minds of the century used
these words: Suppose it were
certain that our lifes and fortunes
depended upon our winning or loa-
ing game OF chess. Don't you
think We should consider it a pri-
mary duty to learn the names and
moves Of the pieces. Yet the lives,
fortunes, aad happiness OF every
one, depend upon knowing some-
thing of the rules of game infn-
itely more complicated than chess.
1t is game which has been play
ed from untold ages, every MAJ
and woman of US being one of the
two players in game CT his or her
own. The chessboard is the world,
the pieces are the phenomena OF
the universe, the rules Of the game
are what we call the laws of na-
ture. The player on the other side
is hidden from us. We know that
his play is always fair, just and
patient. But we also know to our
CO st that he never overlooks a mis-
take or makes the smallest allow
ance for ignorance. To the man
who plays we'll the highest stakes
are paid, with that sort of over
flowing generosity which with the
strong shows delight in strength.
