Is tine REc~rEE recently appeared "a
brief abstract with editorial comment
upon Superintendent MoEcNN'> bien-
NAL school report. The comments
thereon placed Mr.. MoGoAN in the posi-
ton of advocating twenty cent State
school levy. This was AN error. MIR.
MorCAN'~ position as expressed in his
report was % the effect that the neceS-
>ary funds for improving the schools
and prolonsing the school term might
be raised iu TWO ways one was the
increase Of the State levy aud the other
by an Increase Of the county levy. He
did NOT commit himself 20 either plan.
Thi, explanation is Justly due Co Mr.
MORGAN.

Fans.

Speaking of fans, says the Christian
Intelligencer, did you ever have the
misfortune to sit just in front of some
body who famed herself vigorously
quite unware of the fact that she was
sending steady stream of frigid
air upon the back Ofthe neck and your
aching shoulders
Nothing is II commoner experience
than this, and few things are more
distressing, you fldget and move
away little, but you cannot rise and 60
away from the place, and you loose all
sense of what the minister is saying, all
thought of past or future, in the pres
ent misery that possesses you. Wis.,
ions of yourself in the grasp of intiu-
enza seize upon you, cold premonitory
shivers run down your spine, you see
yourself dying OF pnuemonia and fan-
cy friends coming to your funeral, and
the tanner fans on. A little thought
would preventany of us from intiict-
ing so much wretchedness on anybody
else. She who fans her neighbours
back while tanning her own face, is
dispenser of trouble, and shonld take
kind word of censure in good part.

River church. in the northern part of our
county, and, also the meeting Of the Abbe-
willie Teachers Association at Due West
AS to the former, IL was meeting OF rather
more than usual Interest as IL was centenn ial
years with the church with which the meet
ing was held and in addition to the ordinary
business, centennial services were held. The
address was by Rev. Il. N. Pratt, and was ol
fine ability as to plan and matter, and was
greatly enjoyed.
4 noted historic fact was that of the 10C
years in question the church was for 81 con.
Seculive years in charge OF the same pastor,
Rev. Arthur Williams. The church has
done noble work.
The Association was full as to delegates,
with q good number Of messengers from 9TH

ton that this Anderson body OF workers al
ways gives, and that Is saying very much 4;
while the Greenwood Baptist Orphanage rep

The attendance, the weather considered,
was good and the meeting was fine success.
The Teachers Association, while small,
owing to the rather unfavorable weather,
lltabe and enjoyable.
\ brief but chaste and warm address OF
welcome was delivered on the part of Due
West by Prof FL. L. Bonner. 1t had been ar
ranged that the response on the part OF the
teachers should be made by Prof. Thomson,
of Abheville, but the long miles OF treacherous
mud between the home of the orator and
place OF meeting spoiled the plan. and after
waiting half hour the president called on a

Kind Words.

Kind words do not cost much.
They never blister the tongue or lips,
Though they do not cost much yet
they accomplish much.
1. They help ones own good nature
and goodwill. Soft words soften our
own soul. Angry words are fuel to
the tlime of wrath, and make it blaze
the more fiercely.
9. Kinds words make other people
good natured. Cold words freeze
people, and hot words irritate them,
and sarcastic words irritate them, and
bitter words make them bitter, and
wrathful words make them wrathful.
There is such a rush of all other
kinds of words, in orr days, that it
seems desirable to give kind words
a change among them. There are
vain words, and hasty words, and
spiteful word, and silly words, and
bOisterous words.
Kind words also produce their own
image on mems souls. And a beau
tiful image it is. They sooth, and
quiet, and comfort the hearer. They
shame him out of his sour, morose, un-
kind feelings.

To Kave a Bright Lamp,

liz these DAYS when lamps are used
80 much the care of them is quite an
important matter, writes Maria Parloa
in the Ladies' Home Journal. If the
lamps be good and have proper atten-
ton one cannot wish for a more salts
factory light; but if badly cared for
they will be source of much discom-
fort. The great secret of having
lamps in good working order is to
keep them clean and to use good oil.
Have Il regular place and time for
trimming the lamps. Put folded
newspaper on the table so that any
stray bits of burned wick and drops
of oil may fall upon it. Wash and
wipe the chimneys and shades. Now
take Off all loose parts of the burner.
washing them in hot soap-suds and
wiping with a clean soft cloth. Trim
the wicks and turn them quite low.
With soft. wet cloth. we'll soaped,
wipe the burner thoroughly. working
the cloth as much as possible inside
the burner, to get off every particle of
the charred wick. Now fill the lamps
within about one inch of the top, and
wipe with damp towel and then a
Ni ohc. nhJuob All lLc pdI u anu IO-
turn them to their proper places.
Whenever new wick is required in a
lamp wash and scaId the burner be-
fore putting in the wick. With a stu
dent lamp. the receptacle for waste
oil, which is screwed on the bottom of
the burner. should be taken off at least
once week and washed. Sometimes
wick will get very dark and dirty be-
fore it is half consumed. 1t is not
economy to try to burn it; replace it
with a fresh one. The trouble and
expense are slight and the increase in
elearness and briliancy will repay the
extra care. When a lamp is lighted
it should not at once be turned up to
the full eight; wait until the chimney
is heated. Beautiful shades are often
cracked or broken by having the hot
chimneys rest against them. Now,
when lighting lamp be careful that
the chimney is set perfectly straight
and does not touch the shade at any
point. The shade should be placed on
the lamp as soon as it is lighted, that
it may heat gradually.
