Spelling is below par just now. Everything is trying to ' read. The practice of teach ing to read before the alpha bet or spelling is taught, is spreading in this country. The introduction into the country of this method is growing and spreading as fast as the Graded School ideas are turned loose upon the country schools, and as fast a"s the Xormal schools big gest humbugs of the century send out over the country a crowd of young men and women with no other qualifi cation than a conversion to the word Method. We wish to provoke a dis cussion on this subject, "Word Method."" Knowing no better way to bringit about, we put it down in this plain and pointed way : The method is a failure, when we compare its results with those of the old way -a way in which everybody- is now doing anything for himself was taught. We are satisfied that the mention of the "old way" will bring the Word Method advocates out ! This column is open to vou. It appears in the matter of 'tinkering our public schools doctors disagree. Then? seems to be a disposition among i "advanced thinkers" to lend a thought ; with a general con viction that something should lie done for' our educational interests. But, what i One suggests a little primary or elementary agriculture. 1 presume it would he proper to settle in the minds of our country youth some of the It ading truths of the science .ns e.g. Which is the oiF ox ! Which is the lead horse ! The difference Between a hay rack and a hay frame. They should know what a gopher is and how far it goes. Should Be able to tell a shovel from a spade,-be acquainted with a foot-k,edge," a mattock, and to know when and how to ; "bust" out the middles.

E. II. Eaton in Jourpali,v Tue Mjfttrioan Signs. Charleston, S. C, Feb. 1G. A strange story well uuthcuticated comes from Barnwell county. There is a family homestead in Joyce branch, in that county, m hich seems to be haunted by fire, somethiug out of the usual run of ghosts stories. There are strange disturbances which intelligent and sober minded people tried to bring themselves to believe atmospheric or electiical phenomena, but this they never suc ceeded entirely in doing. The mys tery seems to baffle all attempts at a solution. The latest manifestation therefore he was willing to contri occurrtd a few nights ago. A waeon t yute $100,000 from his own exche load of negroes returning from a meeting, passed the house at mid night They were singing an old camp meeting hymn, when as thev passed directly in front of the house, they were tkliulged by an unearthly "'.amour that shot from the windows and felled them terror stricken from their board seats into the bottom of the wagon. The mul attached to the vehicle darted toward the dark ness, carrying his shrieking and praying lo.ulswifth from the scene. The yells of the frightened negroes awoke every one for half a mile around them, and thev tried to tell what lvzed they had seen but were para - with fear, and could gei - ticu - lateand talk ineoherentlv.
