fault.

A test was made this week of the
two six-inch, deep wells recently sunk
on S. L. Cary & Sons land in Guey-
dan. The wells are goods ones and
pump men and farmers who were
present expressed the belief that these
two wells viii furnish water sufficient
to properly irrigate 200 acres Of rice.
One day the elbow of the pump was
removed and the water shot straight
up eight feet. Owing to the rain the
belt slipped and normal speed could
not be attained. It was freely adj
mitted that with dry belt the water
would be shot up at least IL feet.

In their presentment to the Court OF
General Sessions last week the Spar
tanburg Grand Jury gave o most e1-
cellent recommendation with regard to
the ever interesting dispensary ques-
ton. They recommended that it be 80
amended that each comfy shall man
age its own dispensary and enjoy all
the profits therefrom; that the State
dispensary be done away with; that
each county be allowed to vote on the
question as to whether it will have a
dispensary; that the law be enforced by
the regular county officers as other
laws are enforced, thus doing away
with the constabulary. These recon-
mendations are worth the attention OF
the Legislature.

Iii is unfortunate that the teachers
profession is not more highly esteemed,
40 that the ablest men and women
might be attracted and remain in it.
Men of the largest abilities usually
find greater inducements in other pro-
LESSONS. Under the present conditions
man of great ability, unless he be a
philanthropist, can scarcely afford to
devote his talents to ordinary educa-
tional work. If we are to have better
education we must have higher ap-
probation of its Importance. We must
learn that the solution of educational
problems requires the highest order OF
intellect, skill and wisdom; SO far from
being a mere routine of appointing
lessons and hearing recitations. it is a
professional work requiring the high
est intellect and moral capacity.
