On yesterday THE TDEzS received a private telegram announcing that Governor Ellerbe had tendered the appointment of the United States Senatorshipito fill the vacancy causedi by the death of Senator Earle,to Con gressman Johr L. McLaurin, of this district. When last n tek within an hour or two after the sad death of Senator Earle we received the news, we could not control the speculations of our mind, and before we had scarcely re covered from the sad shock, the irre pressible thought came to us "Who will succeed him," and the 'answer just as quickly came, "John L. Mc Laurin." McLaurin was the logical man1 for the position. His well known fit ness as a representative in the halls of national legislation made him the choice of a large majority of the vot ers of the State, and in his selection, Governor Ellerbe could not have bet ter voiced the wishes of'the people. Congressman McLaurin is young, strong and active, possessing a mind] inferior to none of his colleagues from this State and few, if any; in the na 1 tional lower house. He is justly pop ular, and his abilities having already1 been recognized in Washington, het has won for himself and his State, honors which no South Carolina Con gressman has enjoyed in many years. Few men possess his readiness in de bate, and his clear and analytical mind, in addition to a fearless cour age to express his convictions on im portant national matters regardless of the opinions of politicians, give him a worthy and enviable promi nence. Senator McLaurin will wear his honors well, and as he has done in the lower house he will do in the Sen ate--reflect honor upon himself and his State, and win the increased ad miration of the people of South Caro lina THEY SAW THEIR ERROR. A bout the first of April the regular spring meeting of the State Board of Education was held and several rules were adopted, which if carried out, would work many inconvenient changes in the selhool machinery. One of the new rules adopted was a regulation forbidding the employing in any public school of a teacher who was related by blood or marriage, within the second degree to the prin cipal of a school, or to a member of the Township Board of Trustees. Another regulation was one cutting off entirely the issuing of all third grade certificates. The friction and annoyance which would be caused by the enforcement of these regula tions can easily be seen. The first would necessitate the importing of teachers from other sections in about eight out of ten communities, when there were perhaps persons right in the said communities who were qual ified to teach, and many circum stances would naturally tend to ward their selection. And why the restriction? Simply and for no other reason than that a teacher shall not be related, by blood or marriage within the second degree, to the trustees or to the principal in a school.' The lack of wisdom in the other regulation can just as easily be seen when we remember that about twenty-five per cent. of the teachers of the State are third grade teachere, and that is too large a per cent. to be lopped off at once. Going upon the assumption that all third grade teach ersae inoruesn then this rule D. J.

CHANDL would be a good one, but such is not he case if the county boards of edu tion do their duty in requiring achers to make the necessary stan rd on examinations, and grant cer Lificates to only such persons as are 2alified to teach the grades in qoes tion. But we are pleased to note that at an adjourned meeting of the, State Board, held about ten days o, these two rules have been modi d, so that any teacher, whether lated or not to trustees, may now eemployed in any school "upon the ritten approval of the County Board ~fEducation," and that second grade ertificates shall be divided into classes and B, which practically amounts othe old rule on this particular ques io. We hope to see the day when ly first grade teachers will be em oyed in all the schooils throughout e State, and believe that, that day not many years distant, but radical anges are not always wise, and metimes work more for hindrance an for improvement. SENATOR JOSEPH H. EARLE. The death of Senator Joseph H. arle, which occurred at his home nGreenville on the 20th,might justly' e regarded at this time as a great blic calamity. Senator Earle was ust fifty years old,and fell the victim a short illness from Bright's dis Our views and Senator Earle's hay e iot always been in harmony on poli ical ma'.ters, but when be was nomi 3ated for Senator over Governor vans we then gave him our un ivided support. as we knew him to a man of great ability and one 2ho would make his impress w'eight yfelt in the councils of the nation, berefore wve feel free to comment ipon his many virtues. Senator Earle was for many years e honored son of our sister County, mter, and is too well known per onally in this county to require at ur hands any sketch of his life. rhose who associated with him al-f -ays knew him as a man of unques >ned integrity and piobity of char cter, as well as pnae possessing a metrating atnd . lasterful intellect. e possessed a brolad and analytical, nind, which was ever ready to grasp nomentous questions of State and by ound reasoning arrive at just and vll founded conclusions. In the Legislature, in the State Senate, in ;he forum, in the office of Attoruev' ~eneral of the State, on the bench, i always won the respect of his as ciates, and even those who were ot intimate with him recognized in Lim the elements of a true and cul Lured gentleman and gave him their idmiration. He had not long been elected to me of the highest positions in the ation, and having lately taken his eat, began immediately, by his dig ied and courteous bearing, to stamp pon his colleagues and all with vom he came in contact a strong impress of that elevated caste of man ood of which he was a true expon Truly a great man has fallen.

C. seem that nearly all the na 0 nations of Europe are afraid of each other. The several royal families are so closely connected with each other by marriage and otherwise that they are exceedingly cautious, lest the whole group of neighboring nations become involved in the difficulty. For instance, King George, of Greece, is the son of King Christian, of Den mark, and was elevated to the Gre cian throne by election some thirty years ago. He married Olga, who was a Russian grand duchess, and aunt to~the present Czar Alexander. The Prince of WVales married a Dan ish princess, which makes him son-in law to the king of Denmark and brother-in-law to the king of Greece. Then the Crown Prince Constantine, of Greece, heir apparent to the throne, and grand-son of the king of Denmark, marries the daughter of the late Emperor Frederick, of Ger many, and sister to the present Em peror William. There was most too much kins:.ip mixed up among the nations to let the disturbance go on longer, as it might result in a tre mendous family quarrel. Mr. D. P. Davis, a prominent liveryman and merchant of Goshen, Va., has this to say on the subject of rheumatism: "I take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Pan Balm for rheumatism, as I know from personal experience that it will do all that is claimed for it. A year ago this spring my brother was laid up in bed with inflam matory rheumatism and suff'ered intensely. The first application of Chamberlain's Pain Balm eased the pain and the use of one bottle completely cured him. For sale by R. B. Loryea, the drnggist. HOW TO TREAT A WIFE.

The grace of one's personality adds much to his influence among men. There was -a calm, natural and digni fied bearing-in the manner of the subject of this memoir that attracted attention in any assembly. I have frequently observed him in the con ference room, and his handsome phy siue, graceful bearing and nobility of mind, written so plainly on his manly countenance, always inspired my heart with nobler conceptions of life. He was, indeed, one of nature's noblemen, with the grace which cul tivat ion and refinement lend, added to him. Div'ine grace lays hold of the body as well as the soul and uses it for the glory of God. The genteel bearing of Henry M. Mood was a fac tor in the hand of God for impressing the refining and ennobling influences upon all with whom he camne in con tat in this life. He was the highest type of the educated Christian gen tleman, pure in heart, gentle in man ner, suave and polite to every one, meek as a child of God should be, and hiolv- in heart and life. His capt of mind would have made him eminent in any profession. His mind was analytical, but not to the dere-e that destroyed its synthetic qualities. Like all noble natures he loved nature, and would have made a great naturalist if the trend of his life had been in that direction. He made frequent incursions, however, into the field of natural science, and brought with him into the pulpit the aroma of the flowers and the exhilar ating freshness of the fields and -:oods. He was naturally a teacher, andi no one could sit under the influ ene of the gospel as unfolded by him, without growing mentally as well as spiritunally. When lhe spoke upioni even the most commonplace subjects lie invested them with an interest that at once arrested the attention of the whole audience. I remember having heard him preach a sermon to the funder-graduates of the South Carolina Conference at Newberry in 197. 'rhe sainted Dr. i. W. Ilollantd, then president of Newerry College. occupied the pew in front of me. 1 noticed that his attention was riveted on the speaker as he discoursed on the subject, "The Ministry is not a Profession.'' It was the first time the learned Lu th'-n ivnehd ve senHer M. Mood. I was a Methodist pupil in the Lutheran college, and natur ally feeling a boyish pride in the church of my parents, I was anxious to know what my teacher thought of the effort of the representative of my church on that occasion. I asked him as we walked together from the church how the sermon im pressed him. I shall never forget the thonghtful expression that came into his face. He was silent a moment, and then remarked: "If I had known that such a rare treat was in store for young ministers and those look ing forward to the ministry, I would have required the students of the college to attend the service." Then, pausing for a moment, he added, "He is certainly a man not only of polish, but of profound scholarship; my ideal of what a minister of the gospel ought to be." The next day the the scholarly president spoke to my class, in the class room, of the ad mirable discourse and commended its teaching to our earnest consideration. I have mentioned the incident to show the estimate of a great man, sparing in praise and naturally diffi dent, of a truly noble man of God. They are together now in the better land. Henry M. Mood was the apostle of temperance to South Carolina. No man that the State has ever pro duced, not even the gifted O'Neall, was his peer in this great work. His work along this line abides. He plead for temperance on scriptural grounds, and was the evangel of blessedness to many a cursed home. He "reasoned of righteousness, tem perance and a judgment to come" like the great apostle to the Gentiles; and generations to come will share the fruit of his labors. As he stood before audiences and plead for the cause so near his heart, men recog nized in him an object lesson setting forth the virtues of temperance, the devotees beheld in him a sympathet ic friend upon whom they could de pend for help, for he was not a de bauchee rescued from the horrors of a drunkard's life, but the physical product of the great principles of temperance put into practice from infancy to mature manhood; the spiritual product of manhood conse crated to God, with a heart like the Master's, quick to respond to every wail of suffering. A man of God whose mission was not to discuss politics or retail anecdotes, but to teach the virtues of temperance. I owe him much in every way, and feel personally bereaved in his death. He instilled principles into my heart and life that have helped me to nobler views of life. He has reaped his merited reward. Henry M. Mood was an educator. In the year 1858 he established Dav enport Female College, N. C., and was its president for foui years. To Columbia Female College he gave four years of his ministerial life in the capacity of president of the in stitution-from 1862 to 1865. In that stormy and trying period in the his tory of our State, and of the South, hundreds of parents throughout the State congratulated themselves that in the midst of their trials, they were permitted to place their daughters under the care and instruction of this Christian gentleman. The influ ence of his work in that institution will be felt for many generations. "He being dead yet speaketh" in the refined atmosphere of many homes. For two years he was principal of Spring Street Normal School. This makes up the record of his life as an actual educator. He planted the Methodist church at Beaufort and also at Graniteville. To the blessed ministry of Christ he gave fifty-seven years of an earnest, consecrated life, and during that long period thlere was not the remot est suspicion of evil, officially or otherwise, cherished in any heart against him. Was not his life, there fore, a glorious success? He was, in deed, more than conqueror through the grace of God. On the second of May, this month, while sorrow filled the hearts of rela tives and friends, when the an nouncement of his decease was made, there was joy in heaven. The re union there with souls, with whom he had been so intimately connected in this life, must, indeed, have, been a joyful event. His consecrated father and mother, his brother James, "the beloved physician;" William WV. Mood, so closely identi fied with this charge and whose death we all lament; the peerless educator, Asbury Mood ; the devoted minister, John A. Mood, and Bishop Asbury and "his gentle Amelia" greeted his soul as it swept through the gates. The peerless Wightman, whose mother was dandled upon the knee of Wesley, was there. The great founder of Methodism himself doubtless drew near, and an innum erable throng greeted the triumph ant victor. God crowned him, and heaven's arches rang with the harps of angels as they sang of the glories of redeeming grace. He is not dead, but liveth forever. Amen.-J. W. Daniel in Southern Christian Advo cate. THE PEOPLE ARE CONVINCED When they read the testimonials of cures by Hood's Sarsaparilla.

Editor 3IAmso~ TIrzs: In the last issue of your valnable paper I read a com munication from a correspon d ent signing himself "Good Times," in which he takes it upon himself to criticize an article clipped from the "Silver Knight Watchman" that appeared in a previons issue, and attempts to prove that times are not hard, on the contrary, that times were never better, and refers back to the condi tions existing seventy-five years ago. Now, althongh I cannot remember as far back as he can, still, from what I have read and even to use his own words, his argu ment is fallacious. I think I have kept at least as well abreast of the times, especially in the field of labor, as has my venerable friend and know whereof I speak. Hard times are but little known in this section of onr country as compared with the North and East-the manufacturing district. One does not appreciate the poverty and misery that exist there unless he has lived and suffered under the conditions prevailiug. A laborer there works from ten to thirteen hours a day in a stuffy, dirty and unhe lthy factory or mill, for a mere pittance, hardly enough to keep body and soul together. 'Tis true, that wages are hligher, but so also is living. But those that work, even unaer the conditions mentioned, consider them selves fortunate. How many, though, are there who do not have even the actual necessaries of life; men who are unable to obtain work and whose children are often cmnpelled to go barefoot and with scant clothing during the cold weather, while their wives must take in washing to buy bread and ofientimes the poor woman is unable to obtain even that, for the supply of washerwomen is always greater than the demand. One has but to pick up a Northern news paper to learn of the miserable safferers, and they suppress a majority of the more revoting cases of misery; if they publishedl all the facts it would be a lasting disgrace to the co'untry. The number of unifortu nate women is increased every day. It is an exceptional case indeed, where a girl will enter into a life of sin and shame from choice. But necessity knows no law. Ah! these are the good times my friend speaks What is the cause't Your reply perhaps Sthat they are indolent or demand too high wages. Nothing of the sort. The men are not lazy, and all they ask for is employment at wages that will furnish them with .iecessaries, without the luxuries. is a vig-rn tecas :'i rI sponds welcl to ti on.

That very boon that he speaks of ha been the cause-the advancement in sc ence and improvement in machinery. Wh receives the benefits from the invention c improved labor-saving machinery? Doe the laborer. No! It is the capitalist, th trust. Generally, it is the mechanic wh invents the labor-saving machinery, and h seldom, if ever, has money enough to hav his invention patented. What does he du He takes it to a manufacturer, who tell him he will "investigate." After a patien wait of several months the model is rt turned as unserviceable. What must b the indignance of the inventor when h sees the article upon which he spent s much time and labor patented and in us by the very man who told him it was of n< use. He sees that he has been robbed, bu what can he do? Should he seek redres in the courts, his lack of money and th abundance of that commodity in the hand of the manufacturer makes justice (?) de cide that the manufacturer is entitled t "everything in sight." But that is not the worst of it. When ever labor-saving machinery is introduce< a discharge of a portion of the force invari ably ensues, and the unfortunates whi have been discharged are held as a swort over the heads of those who are still a work, while a reduction in wages follows Resistance to a cut is useless, for there ar, too many idle men on the verge of starva tion who would be only too glad to obtaii work at any price. Who are the people who do enjoy goot times? Certainly not the producer, bn the manufacturer, the banker and th, rich land owner; men who do not worl themselves, but allow others to do the worl for them, while they appropriate all th money. '"Good Times" asks: "If times bfave no improved, how did they build these larg, cities." The ciies are of natural growth and the times have improved. Bat who i: benefited? None but the men who havi been able to steal the most with the conniv ance of the politicians who are sent to th legislative halls of our country to improvi the condition of the whole peoplt', bu who succeed only in making life easier fo: the rich men and harder for the poor man The manufacturer takes extremely goot care that his employee shall receive n< more wages than will barely cover his liv ing expenses, for if the laborer was enable( to lay by anything, he might become a lit tle more independent and resent the treat meat accorded him by his employer, whicl is but little better than that of a master t< his slave. To come right back to the State of Souti Carolina. Will my friend deny that bu few of the farmers, and they are virtuall; the only-class of laborers in the State, ow: their land in fee simple? How many o them, though, are there who have givei liens on the major portion of their crops even before it is planted? And how ver; many there are whose property is mort gaged, and not-infreque-ntly to the last cen that it will bear? Compare this with the conditions pre ailing fifty or seventy-five years ago. The: a man farmed his own land and every thing he raised was his. He did not ge discouraged, as he does now, thinking o the amount of his crop which was unde lien to someone else and the interest d a on the mortgage. No. In those days a ma: knew that the more work he and his famil: did, the more would they be worth and th more comfortable would they be able ti live in the bye and bye. Then, they wer more ambitious and worked hard, alway remembering that it was for themselves an: not for the increase of the income of others I do not wish "Good Times" to judge nm a pessimist, for I am not, and hope and be lieve that the laboring masses will eventu ally find the remedy for the present miser; and apply it. But the view taken by hium under present conditions, is erroneous ii the extreme, and I strongly suspect he is; man with a good competency who looks a things thrcugh rose-colored glasses an< entirely overlooks the suftfeiings of thos, who are not situated like himself. The men are NOT themselves to blame fo the hard times. Every one of themi willing to work, but the opportunity is nn given them, and when the opportunity dos co e they earn barely enough to suffice fo their daily needs, and have no chance tI save any money, as had the men of th, olden times.
