Editor Advertiser:
DEAR SIR:-Will you allow me
space to say a few words concern.
ing the Teachers Institute to be
held in Laurens beginning on the
18th of August.
First, to School Officials: AS con-
scientious officials endeavoriDg to
carry out the laws Of the state re-
garding its schools, 1t Is your duty
to use every effort to see that the
provision made for the improve
ment of teachers In the public
schools, should not be rendered in
effective. The best days work q
school trustee can do just now is to
see that the teachers In his district
come to the Institute, and that he
comes himself.
Second, to Teachers: You cannot
afford at the present stage of edu-
cational advancement to lose any
opportunity to gain information
about subjects, methods or manage
ment. Every additional idea you
a gain of these things develops
your strength, saves 1t, and makes
it more effective. In proportion as
you gain in knowledge and effec-
tiveness, your work becomes easier,
pleasanter, better paying and you
yourself will be more in demand.
To Ministers: You are interested
in education of the right sort; show
1t by attending the institute, tell US
where we are wrong and how to
get right.
To Newspaper Men: Your work
and ours is on the same line, to same
end; help us by getting a full at
tendance and reporting the pro-
ceedings.
To the People: All are vitality
interested in the success of the
public schools; you will learn
much, be much interested, be bet
ter able to do your part in the great
battle against ignorance and
wrong, If you will attend the insti-
tute. Besides your presence will
stimulate and encourage the teach
ers. This is q public work, done
by a public institution, and the
public will be welcome at all ses-
sions.
Finally, to the citizens of Lau-
rens: You have an opportunity to
show that the imagined Ill feeling
between town and country is not
true on your part. Open your
homes to the teachers of the coun-
try schools who represent every
section of your county, entertain
them free Of cost if you can, at
very low rates at least, make them
feel welcome, show an interest in
their work, and in so doing help
your town and your county; they
must stand or fall together.
In closing let me remind all that
this Institute is a great opportunity
for good; let it not pass unim-
proved.

In MemOriam,

WHEREAS, it has pleased God in
his wisdom to remove from our
midst one of our members, Miss
Mary Burnside, therefore resolved,

mourn our loss, we bow in silent
submission beneath the mighty
hand of God, knowing that He
doeth all things we'll.
End. That this, the Liberty
Springs Presbyterian Sunday

Stability of the South.

The South appears to be stand
ing the financial strain much bet
ter than the West, and Southern
capitalists are much gratifed at
the record Of that section. They
hold that the distrust of the West
aroused among investors will re-
suit greatly to the advantage of
the South, whose stability shows so
well by contrast. A New York
newspaper recently contained the
startnngi "Twelve More Institu.
lions go Down in the West and
South" As eleven OF these insti-
tutions proved to be In the West
and only one In the South the Man

Gross I'm Notes.

The Sunday School convention
was called to order last "Wednesday
morning at 10 o'clock. Dr. e. T,
McSwain delivered the welcome
address and was responded to by
MI. @. l.. Fike.
W. L. Austin was elected Presi-
dent, j. y. Machen, secretary. All
the interest of the Sunday Schools
were carefully looked after and the
work found to DO progressing in a
most satisfactory manner.
One of the most interesting fea-
lures of the convention was an ad.
address on Thursday morning by
Miss Mary L.. Yeargin, and again
in the afternoon a recitation by
Miss YeargIn entitled The Creeds
of the Bells, "a listened to with
greatest interest. The Convention
was attended by large crowds, and
the greatest harmony prevailed.
While Mr.. Jonn Hollingsworth
and family were attending Con-
v%ention, his house was broken into
and about $50 stolen therefrom. A
negro boy by the name of Sam
Simpson, who began to spend mon
ey right freely vas taken up at
Mountville and confessed, implica-
ting two other negroes, Wess Gun
ningham and Jim Davenport, but
they proved alibi.
DIR. e. IT. McSwain will buy cot
ton at this place the coming season
for Alexander Sprunt and son of
Wilmington N. G., This is an old
well known and reliable firm and
the doctor will doubtless make it
lively for some of them.

Obituary.

Died at Gainesville Ga, on Sat.
urday the 22nd July, 1898, Mrs. Liz
zie N. Johnson, wife of Fletcher M
Johnson and daughter of VIM. ID,
Sullivan, of Tumbling Shoals, 8. O.
She was born February goth, 1861,
and died in the 33rd year of her
age.
She had lately nursed her hus-
band and son through severe spells
of fever. And was so much pros
trated by anxiety and watchful at
tentfon to them during their ILL
ness, that she was i'll prepared to
resist an attack of fever. She left
four bright children to the care of
an afflicted husband. Her many
relatives, friends and pupils in
South Carolina will learn with sor-
row this announcement of her
death. Her life was spent In de-
votion to her God and family. Her
daily example and the impianting
of right views and duties in her
children will bring forth a rich
harvest IN their future lives. She
expressed herself freely before her
last sickness, that the end vas not
far off and that she was ready for
the change.
We know that we'll never see thy
face again in this life, but If we live
pure lives here, we have the sure
promise of meeting thee again in
a bright world beyond the skies.
May Gods richest blessings rest
upon the afflicted husband, chill
dren and family OF Jul departed
daughter.
Farewell, Lizzie, the beginning
of my strength and the first object
of my love. FATHER.

THE PEACE BELLS OF BROokLINE.

Our hearts were waiting, bleeding, waiting,
With trembling, longing, hopo and fear,
Our very breaths in silence batting.
And while wo prayed, Goods land be staid;
Let war DO over, peace appcar!"
Through all the air, with cadence fine,
Camc pealing bells from fair Brookline;
"Peaco is signed at ~AppolnattoYl
'Mattox! 'Mattox!
Peace Is signed at Appomattoxl"
From spire to spire tho tidings spring
AS sunbeams flash DER peaks of snow,
While strong men weep or pray or sing,
And each mans mood to all seems good,
For in thai happy, golden glow
To God oil grateful hearts incline,
While shouts the bells of fair Brookline;
peace Is signed at AppomattoXl
Mattoxl Mattoxl
Peace Is signed at Appomattoxr"
TWAS children rang that glorious peal
In lightsome glee that war was DER.
AS men and women now they feel
How blest were they that happy day
To ring the bells which tidings bore
That brother brother fought no moral
And still they'll thrill in lifc's decline
When sound II bells of fair Brookline,
For ne'cr in mcmory's dreams shall cease
That peal seraphiG finging: Ppacol

Cal. Caughman Makes n speeeb.


There was a picnic at Travellers
Rest yesterday and Col. Cal. Caugh-
man, of Lexington, was present by
invitation and made a speech. B.
+. Perry, of this city, was present
but did not speak. About 800
people attended and the day was
much enjoyed. Colonel Caughman
made mi of his rafting speeches.
He was a good deal interrupted by
one or two Tillman men but took
ARE of himself and made matters
very hot for his opponents. From
the exchange of words a row which
at one time looked serious was de-
veloped between two men in the
crowd, but it was quelled after
some remarkably hard language
had been given and received. The
Caughman speech was generally re-
garded as effective. The meeting
indicated that the Tillman senti-
ment is yet strong in the Travellers
Rest country, but there have been
some changes and the men who
have changed seem to be as bitter
against the governor as they for
merely were against his foes

Low Rates to Chicago.

~ general reduction of rates to the
Worlds Fair by the Richmond IL Dan
vile Railroad.
The Ricbmond&DanviHe Railroad has
issued a circular to all its agents effec-
tive July Goth making the Worlds Fair
rates about five dollars less for the round
trip han heretofore. This rate will be
gratifying to tho many patrons of the
great systom, and as a further evidence
that they are always given advantage of
the very lowest rates available.

Hawthorne as q Visitor.

On n occasion after my return from
an African and European cruise I was
ordered to the Portsmouth station, where
we were hardly settled at housekeeping
when Hawthorne came to see us.
The hall vas encountered with boxes,
the sight of which made him feel his
visit to be inopportune, and he said
quickly:
II have just come for an hour or two
to see you and must return this even
ing,"
Mrs. Bridge, seeing that he was only
afraid Of incommoding us, at once an
swered:
"Must you desert us when I need your
aid in unpacking these boxes2"
"Wil you really let me help you2" he
asked.
Her joking answer, assuring him of
her pleasurein gaining a helper so strong,
both in muscle and intelligence, put him
entirely at ease, and for a week he made
himself useful on all possible occasions.
