THE LAST CALL.
Some of our readers seem to forget
thai we have to pay for the paper we
send them ; that the times arc hard
with us as well as themselves ; that
they should pay for their paper in ad
vance, and that promises unkept do us
no good. We, therefore, give this
last warning. It matters not how good
your intentions are, and how certain
you are to pay, unless you pay up
you need not look for the Messenger
till the times get better. Friends,
we can’t run a paper without money,
and why do you ask for it ? Please
send us what you owe us at once, if it
it only 25 cents. Don’t wait for us
to come for it. If you haven’t got it,
borrow it and pay us. We do not
threaten to put accounts in the hands
of officers. We hope all our delin
quents will pay up without that. We
will mark this week, and hope every
person getting a marked paper will
send us the money by the next mail.
We need money, and must have it.
THE EDUCATORS’ CONCLAVE.
Statu* of the Negro “Typo” In South
Carolina.
Columbia, S. C., July 27, ’B7.
The Summer Normal, under the au
spices of the South Carolina State
Teachers’ Association has closed. It
proved a grand success. The faculty
was as follows : Messrs. P. F. Oliver,
Principal, T. J. Gregory, J. E. Wal
lace, S. J. Gregory, and Mrs. F. S.
Oliver. Lessons were presented F.
A. Peters, of Aiken, and P. G. Dray
ton, of Georgetown, and Mrs. T.
McCants Stewart, of Columbia.—
Prof. Joyner and Davis, of South
Carolina College, presented subjects
to the teachers. Gov. Richardson,
Mayor Rhett, Dr. Brawley, and a
number of distinguished colored men
spoke to the Institute. The Legisla
ture made no provisions for an Insti
tute this year. Only enough money
could be obtained from the Peabody
fund to pay incidental expenses. The
holding of this Institute scores a
triumph for the Negro teachers of
South Carolina. It is an object les
son to the world that the colored man
is deeply concerned about his welfare,
and is capable of walking alone.
These teachers have manifested a dis
position to do their duty. May the
State and Nation perform their’s.
At the Association meeting several
important resolutions were adopted.
The Legislature was asked to fix the
ealaries of teachers by law to prevent
trustees from fixing it by color ; a
longer school term asked for; that
equal school advantages be given in
every respect to all classes of citizens ;
that the State Legislature urge Con
gress to pass the “Blair Bill,” and
that a petition signed by citizens rep
resenting every county in the State be
gotten up to send Congress, asking
for national aid to education.
There were quite a number of new
names added to the roll this session,
among whom were Rev. G. W. Clin
ton, of Union, and Prof. P. G. Ham
mett, of Spartanburgh. Rev. Clinton
especially distinguished himself by
the lively interest he took in every- j
thing promotive of the educational in
terests of the people. He is one of
our foremost young men.
The literary exercises of the Asso
ciation were very creditable. The
program was as follows: “Welcome
Address,” Mr. W. D. Chappclle;
“Response,” Mr. M. McDuffie ; An
nual Address—“ State and School
master,” President Peter Flynn Oli
ver ; “Pulpit and School,” Mr. G.
W. Clinton ; "The Importance of an
Industrial Feature in our Common
Schools,” Mr. F. A. Peters; “De-;
▼elopment Makes the Man,” Mr. J. ■
E. Wallace ; “The Superiority of the '
New Education,” Mr. N. S. Shelton.
Debate—“ Resolved, That co-educa
tion is opposed to the best interests of
both sexes”—Affirmative, Mr. John
A. Wilson; negative, Miss H. L.
Campbell.
The following officers were unani
mously elected for the ensuing year :
President, Mr. Peter Flynn Oliver,
Columbia, S. C.; Ist Vice-President,
Mr. N. S. Shelton, Columbia, S. C.;
2d Vice-President, Miss Eugenia
Thompson, Winnsboro, S. C.; 3d
Vice-President, Mr. F. A. Peters,
Aiken, S. C.; 4th Vice-President,
Mr. George W. Clinton, Union, S. C.;
Recording Secretary, Mr. J. E. Wal
lace, Coluiqbia, S. C.; Corresponding
Secretary, Mr. John R. Wilson, Co
lumbia, S. C.; Treasurer, Mr. T. J.
Gregory, Columbia, S. C. The Asso
ciation adjourned to-meet in Columbia
the second Tuesday in July next.
It seems that a colored man is em
ployed at the case on one of the
“white” papers of the State and it
hag brought up quite a discussion
among the papers. Some of the
papers condemn the practice saying
it is lowering the trade and bringing
about social equality. This is too
absolutely absurd; but it is gratifying
to sec a majority of these “white”
papers showing up the absurdity.
They refer to other trades and the
professions filled by colored men, and
where white men work and serve side
by side with their “brother in black”
without being injured themselves or
their occupations lowered. How can
the “art preservative” be claimed as
the absolute art of the white, when
it was invented by the yellow man
while the white man was still a bar
barian? Colored men, Jit yourselves
for all the walks of life and you will
find your place, even in this South
land.
In Texas the liquor question is so
powerful and absorbing,' that United
States senators, representatives, pro
fessors of colleges, public school teach
ers, and, in some instances, ministers
arc divided over the subject of liquor
as never known before. Feeling has
run so high that brothers and whole
families, including fathers and sons,
sisters and mothers have entered
into crimination and recrimination.
But prohibition is sure to win.— Ex.
It Is a Fact,
that Dr. Ilartcr’s Iron T.nic is cool
ing to the blood, controls excessive
perspiration, and will safely tide you
over that period characterized by
headache, fainting spells, exhaustive
spasmodic affections, and will give
strength and new life to the entire
system.

AYER’S PILLS.
A Urge proportion of the diseases which
cause human suffering result from derange
ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
Avbp.’s Cathartic Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
enre the diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion* Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other aliments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regular prao,
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profes
sion.
These Pills are compounded of vegetable
Substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes:
"Atkr’s Pills are invaluable tome,and
are my constant companion. I have been
* severe sufferer from Headache, and your
Pills are the only thing I could look to
for relief. One doso will guickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. TTiey
are the most effective and the easiest physic
I have ever found. It to a pleasnre to me to
■peak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.
W. L. Paok, of W. L. Page A Bro/*
Franklin Bt., Richmond, Va., June 3,1833.
**l have used Atkr's Pills In number*
less instances as recommended by you, anti
nave never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at onr home, and prise them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA they are invaluable.
. , J. T. Hates/*
Mfxia, Texas, June 17,1883.
The Bbv. Francis B. Harlowk, writing
from Atlanta. Ga., says: “For some years
past I have been subject to constipation,
from which. In spite of the use of medi
elnes of various kinds, I suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago a
began taking Ayer's Pills. They have
entirely corrected the costive liabit, and
have vastly improved my general health/*
Atkr's Cathartic Pills correct irrege
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe
fette and digestion, and by their prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
Whole physical economy.
