the young lady that she "is quiet natural and very
in disposition. She is not exactly pretty, but
she has a sweet and charming face a clear, rather
pale complexion and dark hair, and deep clear
gray-blue eyes, which often look quite dark. She is
very tall and slight; and carries herself erect and
gracefully. Her voice is pretty and altogether Her

AN EDGEFIELD TEACHER IN GREAT
DEMAND AND HIGHLY PRAISED
BY One WHO Is CAPABLE

MIR. EDITOR. The annual edu-
cational Institute for the county
of Lincoln was held at Lincolnton,
Georgia on The 9Th, 9Th, Sth, 9th,
and 10th days of July; while there
is nothing very special in hat,
there IS in the fact that our teach
ers had the benefit of the services
of one of the best edu cat or S
in the South as expert for the
occasion. Mr.. ]. II. Lewis who
is a native of Edgefeld county,
So. Ca, is the man our Coun-
ty Board of Education had the
good fortune to select for this
. position, Influenced principally by
the recommendation of Mr.. Bean
Of your county who has been a
teacher here.
Mr.. Lewis, though quite q young
man, showed himself to be quite
an adept in every new method in
the art or Pedagog. He is not
only a scholar himself, but is gift
ed with the art of teaching others
how to learn. He is both schol-
ar and a teacher. 1t requires no
great gift OF prophecy TO predict
for him a brilliant future as an
educator. think you people in
Edge6eld will have cause 10 feel
proud of him some day in the fu-
ture. ;.
Now Mr.. Editor these compli-
ments have not been solicited OF
me by Mr.. Lewis or any of his
| friends. 1t merely struck me that
| I could do an act of justice and
kindness to a deserving young
man to let his home folks know
what people thought of him abroad
besides it's my business to praise
scholars.

J. William Thurmond is about
thirty years of age. He was named

liberal appropriations for common
schools,
His persistent efforts induced
the Legislature to extend the time
for paying taxes in 1894 to March
1895; in this matter he had strong
ano able opposition.
He whipped out the Lord bond
bill, after a struggle extending over
two sessions, in which he met and
vanquished some of the ablest
debaters i'll the legislature, and
defeated the bill by vote of II to
26, and this in the face of ma

thus saving to the State and its
tax payers more than 100000.
He supported B, R, Tillman for

Evans denied that Tillmall had
not known his connection with

guilt?"
Evans SAID "Don't saj l am

Duncan demanded that Evans
answer the question, whether OF
not he had an understanding with
Rhind to get a part OF the COM
missions before recommending
him to Tillman for appointment
as state agent.
Evans said that he could not
give Duncan the brains to under

taken as lie delivered it..

EVANS OPENS.
Evans began by complimenting
the dignity of General Earle. He
was glad he was here. He was tir-
ed of shooting at carrion crows
and he would not dwell on those
charges. Nevertheless he devoted
his speech to Duncan. Gen. Earle
interrupted Evans and asked him
to reply to a number of questions.
"How many times did he call to-
gether the board of contIol in
1882" Evans did not know; he
may not have held a meeting. Ii
was no use to meet if nothing was
to do. ct is charged that Evans
monopolized The whole power of
the board not giving them a
chance.) When asked if he had
not given lis brother the insurance
of the dspersaries at an advanced
rate, Evans said no. If it was
done it was done by Mixson.
When asked il he had not taken
insurance III Anderson from the
former agent and given it to Bar
ney Evans, the governor said he
knew nothing of it," All this
time there was cheering for Earle.
Evans said Earle was attacking
him when he knew he had not
don these things. Why had those
questions been asked? Earle: "Be-
cause if it were true, you are un-
fit 10 be governor of South Caro-
lima"
Evans: "That is correct, but
you know that they are not true"
Earle: 81 do not know that they

about you. The man who gave
me those questions assures me he
will prove their truth. He will
give the answer"
Evans: 81 hold you responsible
for questions and answers"

Earle, and Evans was manIfeslly
confused.
