A Visit to One ot Atlanta's Schools.
FrOm the car-shed in Atlanta, (he sev
eral hundred OXCUI'siotlists who took ad
vantage of the cheap rates last week,
went their respectivo ways. .Malters ol
business carried sonic lo thc city, others
went for pleasure,
Thursday evening's iimusomont nt tho
(.rand Opera House was a benefit enter
tainment. The local talent of Atlanta
was generously used that money for
paying the expenses of thc maimed vet
erans to Louisville might bc raised.
This \.ns thc second recent charitable
entertainment given o' the (?mild; an
other follows.
Ono objection lo excursions is the
limited time allowed tor a visit. How
to spend one short day is not always
easily Bottled. True. Whitehall otters
many allurements; but allow ing a casual
glance in the show windows at Ibo
Charming turbans of old rose and cern
shades and the tilmy fabrics artistically
arranged, to sutlice, the young pedagogi
cal aspirant linds nothing more prolltil*
ldc than a visit to the publia schools.
Certainly it is less expensive than shop
ping.
Williams Street School being most con
voniont, was decided upon as the one to
visit. I was fortunate in being shown
through Ivy .street school severa! veals
ago, before having taught. Miss beer
man, thc principal, is sweet faced and
affable Miss King, assistant principal,
seems thoroughly alive to her duties.
Tho teachers were nil most cord i lil,
Whorovor the professional spirit exists,
it is not dillloull lo become acquainted.
Tho grades visited w ere t he lirst, sec
ond and third, almost the entire morn
ing hoing spout with these. The rca
son for visiting only part ol' tho grades
was tho probably greater beiiolll accru
ing from ti longer stay, Misses Ponte,
Waters and Payne arc the respective
teachers of tho lirst. second ai '. third
grades.
There are in tho Williams street
school tin' dearest, brightest children
(Uko soniu of the children we have in
( Iconco).
first came tho visit to the second
grade, on Miss Waters' invitation, she
said, "You must sec my room before the
lirst grade, or it will liol seem so Y ute."
As it was, it ccrtaitih lacked nothing ol
being "cute." The children did excel
lent work. Some of them were quite
quick in arithmetic; some had beautiful
copybooks, writing thc vertical hand
with case and correctness; some had
very neat drawing hooks.
The singing in tho different grades is
remarkably good.
"Order is heaven's lirst law," says
Pope. Order evidently is thc inst law ol
the Atlanta public school.-. To sec tin
pupils march out for recess is indeed ht
toros ting, lu one erado there are sixty
pupils, six sections, so. in marching front
tho building, a lirst ami a second grade
pupil go together, a third and a fourth,
and so on. \ teacher ploys a march on
a piano. The school children tire paying
for thc pianos used in thc schools.
Thc teachers are collecting specimens
of drawings and compositions lo bc ex
hibited at their normal class this week.
Two of Die grades were looking for
ward to a picnic at (?rant Park last sat
unlay.
Visitors are always welcome, and. a
no changes aro made in the usual prt
gramme, much ph asure and gain
on joyed. M \ i: v K, Sw A xx.

common interest and ono common cause.
Wo arc endeavoring lo convert tho raw

"Tho great hope of the South is in its
manufactures. Wo ask for no class lcg

lations with foreign countries, now ter
ritory opened before us, wc can plant
our products wherever our Hag Hunts

THE STATE CONVENTION.
Some, of tho Questions Which May Como
Up-Senator Tillman Committeeman.
Tho State Democratic Convention will
assemble at noon on Wednesday, livery
comity will be represented.
Tho convention will elect delegates to
tho Kansas City National Convention to
bejheld .July 4th; it will choose a National
Executive Committeeman and will adopt
rules and regulations for the government
of the party.
ll is generally conceded that Senator
Tillman will be a delegate and that Col.
Willie Jones, of Columbia, will be an
other. These two seem certain, but as
to the rest there is nothing certain.
Many of flu; prominent citizens and elli
cuds would accept tho hourn.
Thoiplntform will he easy, unless a
snag is struck on the question of expan
sion. There wdll he quito a large num
ber of delegates, especially from tho
upper |MU'tOl the State, who will advo
cate expansion.
Senator Tillman is the Nal ional Com
mitteeman from this State, and he will
undoubtedly he chosen to that position
again if be desires if.
A very interesting question will he as
to whether tho State canvass shall be
continued. As a majority of the coun
ties have expressed themselves favora
bly to tho idea, there can hardly he a
doubt as to the result.
Another question to bo disposed of is
what is called tho "GTconvlllo idea."
That moans that a candidate shall be al
lowed to Hie ?ti--- pledge lon days bofoi'C
tho primary. This "idea" will hardly
meet with favor, as candidates who havi
borne tho brunt und expense of a cam
paign would hardly relish some darli
horse to come in and bimi them to thc
string. I io? hies it is looked upon by
many as au injustice.-Columbia liecord,

An Essay on "Our Duly."
Tho following ls an essay which was
road recently heforo tho Pleasant Milgo
Sunday school hy Mrs. .J. 0. (Samson.
Thc school VOtOU that tho same bo pub
lished in 'flin KKOWKK CouitiKu:
"Duty bototo pleasuro" is an old and
very familiar saying, but wo do not
always feel that a duty performed brings
its own pleasure. lt is nevertheless
true. When we have dono our duty, no
matter how unpleasant Mio tusk may
have seemed at first, wo fool that our
conscience is clear, and, therefore, wo
arc satislled and pleased about it.
Sonic pooplo make the mistake of sad
dling themselves with a great many
things that are not really thoir duty at
all. Wo have no right to neglect the
small, boundy duties of 0 very ?day lifo
that lie at our feet hy reaching out after
sonic great imaginary duty that is hoyond
our strength and talent. Wo should
seek a knowledge of our true duties and
then perform thom faithfully.
Duly is three-fold. In tho lust place,
wc owo a duty to ourselves; in tho sec
ond placo, WO owe a duty to each other;
and in tho third place wo owe a duly to
our Heavenly Father.
Tho duty wo owo to ourselves is to
make ourselves true, honest and upright
SO that wc may deserve thu love and re
spect of others. Kaoh ono of these little
girls and boys can ho truthful, can ho
obedient to their parents and attentive
to their teachers and thus make them
selves good and true.
Thc duty wo owo to others lies in tho
golden rulo, "Whatsoever ye would that
men should do unto, you, do yo even so
unto them.'' If we always observe Hint
rule wo will never fail in our duty to
others. Wc will never fail to ho kind to
each other ol' judge each other harshly
or unjustly.
(?'od made us-wc aro tho creatures of
his hand, (bendore wc ought to ho obe
dient. Ile feeds and clothes us, there
fore WO ought to bo thankful; Ho keeps
us through thc day, watches over us
through thc . (gilt, guides and directs
our way, tho. fore wo ought to trust
liini; Ho fulfills all his promises to us,
therefore we ought to be faithful: and
Ile gavo his only son to die for us, there
fore we should never cease to love Him.
And lastly, but not least, wo come to
our duty in attending tho Sunday school.
lt is the duty of the little ones to ho
here with bright, smiling faces, with
well learned lessons and good behavior.
True politeness, little girls and boys, is
nothing more (han kindness (d' heart.
What is a prettier sight than tho bright,
smiling faces of these little girls and
hoys as thoy gather hero from Sabbath
to Sabbath to learn the truths of thc
blessed Word of Uod? They aro like
lovely Howers in a beautiful garden, ami
the older ones should nourish their hun
gering minds with thc true bread of life,
thus tilling each little mind with some
thing worth learning, ll. is tho duty of
tho children to come to thc .Sabbath
school to learn of Jesus and to become
like 11 im-kind, obedient ami true, lt
is the duly of tho parents to conic with
thc children that they may learn the
truth of thc promise, "Seek mo early

A Counter Claim.
Thc Governor to-day received a lotter
from tho War Department in which a
claim is maile against the State for $:>!<>,
000, the alleged am?.mit duo hy tho State
for the seizure of certain guns and am
munition in Charleston in December,
I stitt. This was alleged to have been
done hy Col. Cunningham of the Seven
teenth Infantry of South Carolina, and
by order of Governor Picketts. The lot
ter to tho Governor is from tho Comp
troller of tho Treasury, and payment is
insisted upon.
It is supposed that this old claim,
even though it has no merit, is meant to
offset tho claim of thc State against the
National Government for two hundred
thousand and more dollars on account of
the Mexican war and other claims dur
ing more recent wars, lt presents a most
interesting situation to say tho least.
