Whether the Ants viii surrender OF
not, the next few days must disclose.
Many OF them are whipped, cowed and
hacked. Many of them regard the
State as q pile OF ruins. Many Of them
are sincere In the belief that it is fool
ish to combat what they consider a
form Of insanity. Many young men
with futures ahead, men OF brains and
character who are saying nothing, who
In normal times could and would do
something for the State, are ready to
quietly pack up their traps and "get
OUT Some OF them are going every
day. South Carolina has come to be
classed with Kansas where Hell is the
chief crop raisedp and they, being
business men, see no especial reason
for staying here while in other States
ordinary h~orse-sense prevails.
Others of the Ants eager for q
contest. They are for o straight bat
tie to the finish without counting the
cost and determined to stand up for a
fair showing at the polls and to main

some parts of the State the Ants are
as undaunted o as they YER in '92

My advice to every man in Laurens
is TO raise a 600 pound hog this year.

DR.. Parahurst's New Word.

DR.. Parkhurst has coined q new
word, and its aptness and clever con
struction are quite likely to make it
famous. The eminent reformer's word
Is "AndrOmania," and of it he says:
"There is an element in the feminine
world that is suffering from what /
shall venture to call "Andromania."-
The word is not an English one, for the
reason, [ suppose, that the English
language makers supposed that
we should need such a term. 1t is con
structed on the same principle che
word "Anglomania," which means q
passionate aping of everything that is
English. "Andromania" means simil.
arly, a passionate aping of everything
that is manish."
DIR. Parkhurst makes his new word
serve as the title for his first article in
the next issue of the Ladies' Home
Journal, and uses 1t for q vigorous
treatment of the type of women fol
whom he invented it.

Obituary.

Mr.. Thomas. L.. Badgett was born
the 9th of March, 1914, at Yanceyville,
North Carolina, and on the MORNING
of September 10th 1894, at his home in
Laurens, South Carolina, he sweetly
fell asleep in Jesus in his eightieth
year. The peaceful Heavenly look, on
his dear face was proof to his loved
ones who stood around him that the
lear Savior whom he loved SO dearly
and served so faithfully, was there and
tool him to that Mansion He had pre-
pared for them that love and and obey
him, that Mansion not made with
hands, eternal in the Heavens. The
ways of Providence are mysterious
Death under all circumstances is o Sc
rlous thing which we cannot understand
but some day Heaven will the mystic
r1es explain, and them we'll under
stand. He was a member of the Pres
byterian Church; he loved his Church:
he lived q Christian life; he was always
so kind with everybody; his home is SO
lonely without him; no; Father, no,
Mother, we feel as If q shadow over our
life is cast. He was q kind and indul-
gent Father. Though u grief is SO
great we will have to bear it, and pre-
pare to meet him in that better land
above. He leaves one son and three
daughters to MOURN the sincere loss of
our dear Father.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is C in our home,
Which never can be filed;
One by n earth's ties are broken,
AS we see our love decay;
And the hopes so fondly cherished
Brighten but to pass away.
One by n our hopes grow brighter,
AS we near the shining shore:
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.

HOW TO CONTROL PUPILS.

At different times in the Teach
ers' Association much has been said,
and we'll said, in regard to the great
responsibility resting upon teachers.
Yet much more might perhaps be
said, and teachers still fail to real
ize the full measure Of this respon.
sibility. We have entrusted to our
care not a number of vessels into
which we may pour a certain
amount Of information and close
the bung and call the object educa-
ted; but we have given to our
care and control a number of live,
active, intelligent beings, full of
life, full of mischief, full of way.
wardness, but withal full of quail
ties to be found and developed into
symmetrical character. Full of
ambition, Of hope, and whatever
goes to make the intelligence OF the
universe. 1t is ours to find these
qualities, and SO direct them, that
what is mean and low shall be elm
mated and what is pure and noble
shall be brought to the highest
development.
We may rest assured that these
better qualities are to be found in
every child. No teacher should
conclude that certain pupils are
hard cases, and not worth their
very best efforts. An incompetent
teacher may succeed we'll with the
best pupils, but real teachers will
give earnest. patient labor to the
development OF the worst pupils in
school.
With a iull realization of all these
truths, and with an earnest desire
to accomplish the very best results
how shall we proceed to the work.
Organize our schools thoroughly.
Assign seats that all pupils may
know their places; not allow pu-
pills to rush pell nell into the school
house and out of it, but require
them to enter and retire in a quiet
and orderly manner. Provide for
the greatest comfort Of our pupils
but allow nc pushing and crowd.
ing around the fire, nor water buck
ct. Manifest a live interest in the
pupils; not only in their studies
but also in their sports and in their
general welfare. Assign a proper
amount of work for pupils. If they
are bright and ambitious, give them
what they can do, and encourage
them to press on. If they are dull
and slow help them, encourage
them, have patience with them. II
they are rude and stubborn a par
of the fault may be ours. W.
should make a careful study o.
such pupils that we may be able t.
reach their better nature, and if th>
rod must be used first convince the
offender that it is not our wish t.
resort to such methods, but that w,
are convinced that there is no othe.
way to maintain proper d~isciplin,
in school. Finally love our pupils
Let love for them and their welfare
be our controlling power.

The death of Mrs. r. c.. Watts, an

pleasure of knowing her. She was q

and she always wrote we'll. Many OF
her stories, sketches and miscellaneous
articles were printed in various publ.
cations. They always commanded the
attention of the thoughtful and the
admiration Of the judicious. She was
a woman of remarkable natural gifts
and attainments, but was o model To

CUTTING 1T DOWN.
The Acreage in Cotton Will be Decreased
in Laurens County.

:'The farmers in this county will
plant % per cent less cotton than usual'
said an extensive cotton producer to
the The ADVERTISER Reporter.
"Why do you say so?" queried the
reporter as he fumblcd for his note
book.
"Well, he said," I know of seven
planters who raise in the aggregate
1,4OO bales of cotton a year. They will
average q reduction in acreage of 30
per cent. [ know this from %conversa-
tion with them. Besides from talking
to q large number of small farmers I
find that they will reduce their acreage
to about the same extent"
Will they use a larger proportion of
fe~rtilizer?:" questioned the reporter.
"Emphatically not" was the answer
Or the contrary they will use less"
The gentleman referred to named his
seven planters and appeared to have
an idea Of what he was talking about.

In deep sorrow I send these lines for
publication. On November the 9th ult.
my precious Uncle, JOHN r. OwINGs,
passed peacefully to the home of the
blessed. o! dark day never to be for
gotten by his sorrowing wife and nephew.
All, yes! a deep shadow rests over my
Aunt's home. Savior, hear her petitions;
teach her how to bear this cross, help
her to be calm and patient. Let her say
and feel, my Father, that thy ways are
true and jnst. / trust that q faithful
Providence will deal gently and kindly
with her in this her sad hour of distress.
Uncle John was q member of the Metho-
dist church, Of which he lived q con-
sistent christian life till the day of his
departure, ard Of which church he was
an official member nearly the whole of
his church life. Truly, Kings.Chapel
church has sustained an irreparable loss.
| never knew Uncle John to speak un-
kindly OF his fellow man-neve knew
him to fail to meet an obligation. He
was strictly IN honest man, honest to
the cent, possessing a heart that might
be turDcd inside out, that would discover
no stain or dishonor.
Dear Uncle John has Como from us,
but his memory will ever live fresh i N
our minds; but our hearts are sad
so sad with the parting, but we have the
divine consolation Of knowing that he
is happy, in the eternal mansions Of the
blessed. There amid the throng gath
cred on the shore-in that home ur.-
touched by sorrow he is waiting to greet
us there.
