BelonEs 20 the High School

Prof Logan took an entirely opposite view.
stating that the study of English grammar has
but one object that is to speak and write the
language correctly. Therefore there are many
things in the technical grammar that have no
practical use. He thought there is too much
grammar expected in the ward schools and
thai the fine points in grammar should belong
to the High School course
Prof. n. W. Fisher. of the Washington
schools, who has been Vice President for the
last i've years, refused denomination. The
thanks were rendered him for his efficient
work in the interest of the academy.

A Musical Treat.

During the session pupils from the rooms of

schools sang, Praise ye the Lord," !" Nv elcome

or culture, and that there could be no discipline

MUSIC AT THE ACADEMY MEETING

Three meetings were on the programme yes
terday for the city teachers and the educa-
tional fraternity was consequently kept quite
busy. Ats o'clock A. N. the principals and
assistant principals met to consider the grade
in drawing for the High School class for the
coming term Every school district had repre-
sentstives except the Duquesne and Riverside
Many teachers of writing and drawing were
also present.
The present system of drawing has been
taught in the Pittsburg schools only for the
past year, the pupils completing books out OF
the II of the series, the last three including
perspective drawing. As the pupils are exam
tned for High School in December, they would
not have time to cover this the most difhcult
branch of drawing. So the High School ex-
aniners are willing that perspective drawing
be eliminated from books II and IL and only
instruction in mechanical designs be given this
year.

Whisky at Abbevi1le.

Editor of Press and Banner:
I am SO impressed with the coming election,
that am obliged TO express my views on this
subject.
The question should not be. whether We
will elect Tillman, Bratton, or Earle. or some
one else, Governor, but, Is the Governor to he
an intelligent Christian gentleman. Can a
christian man hold on TO his religion, and mt
the same time vote for man u rule over us
who knows not God; no verify.
When the wicked rule the people mourn.
Was the meeting at Laurcns not enough TO
convince any christian man that he ought TO
stay away from such meetings. We are conf
manded to abstain even from the appearance
of evil. 1t Is not only wicked and sinful for
our people 10 conduct themselves in such q
style, but 1t is disgrace to the State.
The question that ought to concern Able
Vile County more than who will be Cover
nor, is, who are you going to send to Colum.

for man that you have tried and found
wanting. Can you vote for a man that has

to the county. Whisky. Did we not have a
popular vote on this question and did not n
large majority say they wanted no whisky
Of the people If 1t was not done in repeating
the LIQUOR law for Abbevllle c. H.? I think
sir that those members of the House, togeth-
er with our Senator who spoke and voted for
with shame instead of asking us to vote for
them again. If they ignore the Will of the
p ople once, Ia there not room to suspect
them again. What father is there in the
country who has son will vote for a man to
give that son whisky. If there is one that
will do 1t, lie does not care much for the we'll
fare Of his son, and is not worthy to be called
father. Mr.. Editor, the more think Of this
subject the more awful 1t appenrs to me.
heard one man say he was in favor of license
If they would put the license Mt $500, for
each bar. He SAID that would keep the street
in good order. Is $500, the value of the
blood OF one man, say nothing OF the scores
and hundreds that fall victems to whisky,
am opposed to working the streets with

was iii only a few days, and before many OF
our citizens knew of her illness, she had
breathed her last.
Mrs. Branch was n christian woman ana
adorned the faith which she professed. Her
gentle nature, and her loveable character en-,
deared her to all who knew her. Each ana all
of us feel that III Ter death we have eXpe-
rienced something of personal loss.
She was in the meridian of life, and died In
the possession of all her facul ties. RealiSlng
that the enc was near. on Sunday, she talked
freely OF the approaching dissolution, and
gave expression OF her wishes in various mat
ters concerning herself and others. She
would have been glad to have lived longer
with those whom she loved so dearly, yet she
gave every evidence of resignatio ion to the
will of the Almighty, while putting all her
trust in the saving grace Of Him who died
that we might live.
Mrs. Branch leaves n husband to mourn his
irreparable loss. In her death he has lost q
crown, and In her departure sorrowlul
heart will ever mourn for the memory OF her
who was his comfort and solace in life.
She sleeps at Upper Long Cane.

As n Mark OF Esteem.

The residence OF Mr.. ]. l.. Linton, on upper
Broad street was the scene Of very pleasant
affair last night. Capt. A. G. Miller OF the
South Georgia College Cadets was the receip.
lent OF Il souvenir from the young ladies that
took part in the National.Drill Friday night.
They presented him with handsome scarf
and pin, as q testimonial OF their gratitude
for his skill in preparing them for the drill.
Miss Irene Davis made the presentation
speech. Capt. Miller was taken by surprise
but In few remarks showed that he appre.
ciated their kindly act, after which refresh.
ments were served Besides those that took
part in the drill that were present Miss Hope
Linton was also an Interested observed Of the
pleasing event.
The marching and evolutionS OF the young
ladies were very credtable, and showed that
Capt Miller who had charge of the prepara-
tion for the event was equally as efficient in
drilling the young ladies as he is the cadets of
college. 1t was late hour when the exercis-
es were concluded, and the audience dispersed
to their several homes thoroughly satisfied
with the pleasures Of the evening.
Capt. Hansell of the Guards then presented
Capt. Miller OF the Cadets corps handsome
sword and u belt in the name Of the Cadets
Capt Miller was completely taken by sur
prise. but responded in an appropriate FASH
ion. He has made himself very popular with
the men of his command, and he is one of the
best drill officers in the State.
