Bambere County Teachers.

There was fair attendance of teachers
at the monthly meeting Of the Teachers
Association at the court house last Sat-
urday morning. Three teachers were
present for the first time and added their
names to the roll: Mr.J ]. Jones, of
Smoaks, and Misses NJ G. Leland and
Nell Pegues Evans, of the Denmark
school.
Many of those who were on duty either
to debate or read papers were absent,
so the meeting was necessarily short. Miss
Ellen Murphy and Mr.. T. D. Jones read
two excellent papers on discipline in
the School" These papers showed orig
inal thought and that the writer's had
considerable insight into child nature. In
the first paper the fact was brought out
that those teachers who boast OF not US
ing the switch at all, employ far more
cruel and less effective methods for the
punishment of children.
In the latter paper many fine points on
school government were presented in an
instructive and striking manner. Tact
on the part of the teacher is the one con-
trolling principle. Begin right. Be not
changeable. Act to-day as you did yes
terday and as you expect to do tomorrow
The largest and most powerful engines
make the least noise when in motion, so
the most successful teachers conduct their
schools in quiet and orderly manner.
The questions on current events that
have been printed in THE BAMBERG HER
AID were read, answered, and discussed.
Capt. w. E. Sease referred to the AS
s ociation Mr.. McMahan's letter asking
when would be the most suitable time
for holding the summer school in this
county. 1t was the opinion of the teach
ers present that about the middle of July
would be convenient, and Mr.. McMahan
will be so Informed.
A very fine program for the next meet
ing was made out and adopted. The
next meeting will be on the fifth of May.
These meetings will prove helpful to
the teachers, and all in the county should
attend. If only one new idea is acquired
which will help them in their work, the
time will be we'll spent.

Trip of the Veterans to Louisville.

The prospect is that a large attendance
from South Carolina will be at Louisville.
The idea Of General c / Walker, COM
mander of the South Carolina division of
L CIV, in concentrating the veterans at
Spartanburg is a very good one. This
will give the "old vets" an opportunity
to exchange greetings and will insure the
same arrival time at Louisville of all the
delegates from this State The mountain
route, through the Land of the sky
down the French Broad river, via Knox
vile, Hartman Junction, Lexington and
into Louisville, is very delightful during
the spring and summer months, and is
preferable to the long and dusty routes.
There are also two daily trains in each
direction via this route between South
Carolina points and Louisville, insuring
no crowded trains; and the trip Will be
entirely comfortable returning home.
This is quite an important item to those
who attend

Ate Too Many TadpOleS.

Geneva Lee, daughter of Commands
Lee, a negro farmer living about two
miles north of here, is only three years
old but she has developed an abnormal
appetite for strange food. The other day
during the absence of her mother Geneva
and several of the other children went
fishing in a nearby ditch. The result of
their catch was bucketful of Shiny tad
poles.
sters and Geneva ate immoderately of the
Immature froggies. The feast made her
dcathly sick, and DR.. B. d. Bronson had
to be called in to physic and otherwise
doctor her

A Little Like Old Times.

An old settler recalls that this
stormy spring very much resembles
t rat experienced here about thirty-sis
years ago. Then the spring was cold
and stormy. followed by foods the
greatest floods Colorado has ever
known. The Arkansas river was very
high. In fact so high that people
would not believe 1t IL we published
what has been told US. 1t seems that
the floods were general over the
State that for year Cherry Creek,
which flows through Denver, got &C
high that it actually washed the city
hall away and covered most Of the
city. which was then principally along
the stream. II is to be hoped tha,
the resemblance will not be carried
that far this year.

cANON's GREATEST NEED.
An Ideal Location for = Big Hotel or
High Class Sanitarium Would
Be a Paying Investment.

At the present time Canon has nc
greater need than first class hotel
A hotel on the order of the Antlsrf
at Colorado Springs or the Colorado
at Glenwood. The Antlers hotel has
made Colorado Springs. Had the
Antlers beer erected in Canon City
ten years ago, Canon would today
have been many times its present
size. A hotel of that proportion
brings to . city prestige and influ-
ence. 1t brings to it tourists whs
spend money and capitalists who in
vest in property and enterprises.
A big hotel Of this order would
help and prosper every industry now
in the city. and none more than the
hotels and boarding houses for noth.
ing draw tourists SO much as a big
high priced. well advertised hotel
People go TO the town because it il
well advertised and many stop al
more modest inns.
Canon City has every advantage
for the building up Of big tourist
hotel.
The climate of Canon City gives il
advantages in favor Of the location
of fine year around resort hotel that
are possessed by no other town in
the State. A hotel on the order Of
The Colorado at Glenwood with the
amounts of good advertising that
that has had, would undoubtedly be s
success financially. which The Colora
do has not. and would possess the I'D
ditional advantage that it would be
kept oren with profit twelve month,
each year.
The temperature during the wintsi
months is so high that life in the
open air is comfortable, bracing and
healthful almost all the time, while
the low percentage Of humidity makea
the heat Of the summer days no. un
comfortable. especially TO thoss whs
are accustomed 20 the moist hest o.
the Mississippi valley or tie Atlantic
seaboard. and the nights are Away
cool. During the hottest months ei
the summer there are almost every
afternoon short thunder showers
which cool the air and keep down ths
dust.
The warm sunshiney days Of the
winter. the dry Air highly charged
with electricity. the freedom from
high winds, the very small rain and
snow fsll which dry up so quickly
without leaving sloppy ro do all com.
bins 10 make winter climate that
seems TO the tourist or invalid accus-
toned to the snowy, rainy. slushy,
cloudy and cold winters OF the eastern
statcs to be almost perfect. Com
pare the ten cloudy days recorded
during The four winter months jus,
past with the records for the same
length Of time Of any eastern city
and the advantage is at once sp
parent.
The attractions Of natural scenery
are also unequalled. Situated right
at the foot of the mountains the city
is within easy driving or riding dist
ance. over roads that are good at all
seasons, Of innumerabls charming

sides Of caions and snow capped
