out in the open the better for
this country. Are they here to
Gull the sweets of the land and
refuse to take the bitter? Is it
their intention to enjoy the pro-
lection Of our laws and our instl-
tions while their hearts are with
those who may at any day be.
come our enemies?
To the man who has crossed
the waters to cast his lot in
America, citizenship should be
the most priceless of his possess
sions-is so to the man who IS
worthy Of it. He should be as
the bride who leaves her fathers
house to cast her lot with her
chosen mate-for good Or i'll.
The man who takes citizenship
should do so for good or for iii.
One sentiment. and only one,
should fire the heart of Amerl
can. native or naturalized, and
that should be: My country
may she always be right, but my
country, right or'wrong."
Aud. with due respect TO the
opinions of our political jingoes
we believe this is the sentiment
Of the great mass Of our foreign
born citizens. We can not be-
lieve they are more Sollcitous fol
the welfare of the land they have
left than for the land that has
afforded them d home and plenty
Naturally, fond memories cluster
around the old home, but the
allegiance Of their manhood lies
here.
Aud. should the occasion cal
for it. We believe that allegiance
will hold firm.

From Soreness
Boys on The Border Re-
lieved Their Pains
And Aches With
Sloan's Lini-
ment.

Once upon a time Norman Jones.
serving in the National Guard at El
Paso, returned to camp after a stren-
uous Is mile hike foot-sore- AMI leg
weary. He had not been long in ac.
tive service and his shoulders, back
and limbs felt the after-effects of
marching.
Remembering Sloand's Lininent,
Jones applied it to the sore spots nd
went to bed He writes: Il arose the
next morning feeling fine, in fact had
entirely forgotten about the hike and
went out for four-hour drill in the
sun as spray as ever"
Private Jones passed the experience
along, and macy boy on the border
relieved the agony of sprains, strains,
bruises, insect bites,. cramped muscles,
rheumatic twinges, etc., by the use of
Sloan's Linment.
Easily applied without rubbing. At

: The reception rendered the teachers
OF the community by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union on Fri
day afternoon, at the home Of Mrs. S.
E. Curtis, was most en- joyable acca-
sion. The hall and parlors wera made
especially attractive by tastefully ar-
rangement OF palms, ferns, and roses.
After chatting awhile Miss Laura Con-
don, of Georgetown, presented the
contest, "Hidden Flowers" The con-
testants did some faithful guessing for
about one-half hour. when it was de-
cided that Miss Porle, OF the ProVl-
dence school. had scored highest. The
prize, handsome bouquet OF roses ana
ferns, tied with the white ribbon, and
emblematic CT the Woman's Christian
Temperance Uoion, was presented 10
Miss Poole, by Sethea Edwards. IN a
very pleasing manner. Cocoa aod wal
ers were served, and sprays OF golden
rod tied with wnite ribbon were given
as favors. Mrs. Joseph Sprott, the
president, had been invited TO talk TO
the teachers, but was prevented by
sickness, much to the regret of all who
attended.
Miss Laura Condor, of Georgetown,
has been staying here as the guest OF
Miss Jessie Curtis since last Thursday.
She has spent the summer at Newport,
r. l.. and is now on her return home.
Quite number from here attended
circus in Sumter last Saturday. A
special train was run for this purpose
A parents and Teachers Association
was organized last Thursday at the
school building. Not as many parent:
were present as had been hoped would
attend. The teachers want to enrol
every mother of the school, and they
earnestly urge your presence at the
next meeting which will be held thl:

PUNISHMENT NOT REFORMATION.

Edward E budding of Hunt
ingdon, w. Va. himself an ex
convict, claims to have secured
employment for three thousand
ex convicts. He slso claims that
OF that number less than one
hundred have "fallen down" on
their jobs.
Mr.. budding has gotten. hold
of the right wire in twentieth
century reform.
Strange that otherwise kind
hearted and humane people will
persist in furnishing" the GRIM
inal. even after he has paid the
utternost farthiug Of his penal
ty.
Why can not we all see that
the logical end OF law is not TO
punish bat to reform the evil
doer.
Pause a moment and consider
that word punish" Doesn't it
smack too much of vengeance.
And who ever heard of venge
ance reforming a transgressor?
Perhaps when the vengeance has
so completely broken the poor
wretch that he has lost the pow
er Of resentment we may cons;d
er him reformrd, but God save
Us from such reformation.
AS men of cnligtenment and
mercy, we should look on the
law machinery of the land mere
ly as the means by which we
may reform or re-make the hu-
man character which untoward
circumstances have warped and
twisted out of its original sym.
metry. The very idea of pun
ishment is repugnant to the soul
Of the mercifui man. and should
have no place IN our scheme of
life. We insist that the idea Of
punishment as applied to the evil
doer is unworthy of the enligh-
tened citizenship OF this great
coutry.
Reform the evil doer, remake
the warped and twisted charac
ter, restrain. if necessary, the
incurlbly vicious, but punish
never.

Teachers Meeting.

Ia the absence Of the President, the
county Superintendent of Education
acted as chairman
DR.. Watson B. Duncan conducted
the devotional exercises. The Secre-
tary being prevented from being pres
ent, the reading of the minutes was dis
pensed with.
The following officers were elected
to serve the Clarendon County Teach
ers' Association for the year 1861:
Prof. D. r Riser President. Mrs. S. G.
Plowdeu Vice President, Prof. T. E.
LiGe Secretary.
The program Committee will be ap-
pointed by the president later.
The principal address Of the meeting
was made by Hon. J. K. Breedin on
what you might call the essentials and
fundamentals ofan education, and the
best ways of accomplishing these re-
suits. It was an address briming full
of wholesome suggestions, and will
bear fruit.
Prof. Riser gave an illustrated talk
on the kind of teacher and pupil want
ed and cootrasted that with the KIND
of teacher and pupil not wanted, and
completed his talk with some choice
reading selections.
Rev. Watson B. Duncan was down
for discussion, but as time was rather
short. asked to be excused until anoth-
time. This will be carried over until
the December meeting. The subject
is one of great interest, and it is hoped
that we shall have a larger audience
TO hear this most excellent speaker.
Mr.. W. T. P Sprott, President OF
the Clarendon County Fair Association
was present and made few remarks,
in which he. expressed the hope that all
.ateachers and pupils 10 the county
wolld be in line or November lIth,
| when they will be admitted free.
The association then entered into a
discussion OF the premium list ana otn'
er arrangements for the fair.
1t was the sense OF the meeting that
each school in the county provide its
own badges, banners etc. Eacn teach
er is expected TO see that only the bona
6de scholars are provided with these
badges for free admission.
BY each school providing It's Own
badges, will make each school have
distinct advertisement of its own
These badges may be of any character
desired. The name of the school may
be written or printed on them. In 9th
er words, each teacher, or s:heol is
left to determine just what kind it will
have, rather than to attempt to have
all the same as last year. If school
does not care to 60 to this trouble, 1t
will not bebar them from taking part
in the parade, or from free entrance
into the fair grounds.
The prime requisites for free admls-
sion are to be 10 line with your teach
er and school, on the court house
square on the appointed day. -, ,
There were more teachers enrolled
today than at any other meeting in sev
eral years, there being just 20 who lett
their names and addresses. There Will
be no meeting in November, the fair
occasion taking the place OF that meet
ing. The next regular meeting will
be held during the month OF December

AMERICAN FAIR PLAY.

AMERiCAh FAlS fLA1.
While tie people ofthc United
States have been sending thirty
million dollars worth Of relief TO
Europe and Turkey, two hund
red thousand women and chill
dren in Albania have died of
starvation.
Willie each woman and child
in Belgium has had plenty 10
eat, women and children ID Al.
bania have gnawed at the cur
casses of dead horses in the
streets.
William Willard Howard, OF
New York, who has returned
from his third trip to this hung
er zone of Europe, predict, that
the entire population Of Albania
will die of famine and pcstilence
unless helped. He says that in
Albania corn is fifty dollars 4
bushel, flour eighty dollars a
sack, and macaroni five dollars u
pound.
