The Electric Street Railway Com
paay, m giving the teachers free
rides to Glendale and Clifton, won
their hearty obligations.
Those interested in county and
State educational matters will re-
member that the Oconee summer
school closed during the continuance
of the State school. Superintendent
McMahan was pleased with the
school conducted at Walhalla by
Profs. Mann and Hollis, and an
nounced in chapel one morning that
he had heard from Oconee that of
tho forty-three teachers enrolled,
thirty-nine had stayed for the final
examinations. This was considered
an excellent record, of which the
Oconee teachers at Spartanburg
were indeed glad to hear. There
were at the State summer school
seven teachers from Oconec county.
The enrolment at the State sum
mer school was 614, onc-tifth of the
teaching force of South Carolina,
and the largest gathering of teachers
ever known in the State. This en-
rollinent was due largely to the
efforts of State Superintendent Of
Education John j. McMahan, con-
corning whose services the States
teachers are most enthusiastic.
Superintendent McMahan is anx-
ious that as many as possible of the
teachers attend the meeting of the
Southern Educational Association,
to be held at Columbia during
Christmas week. The educators will
go from Columbia to Charleston,
where thoy will visit the Exposition.
Mr.. McMahan's assistant, Mr.. Zach
McGhee, did much to contribute to
the success Of the school.
MIR. j. Frank Fooche, editor of
the Carolina Teachers Journal, was
present during the school, and got
out a special edition of the Journal.
Several members Of the Press
Association, returning from Glenn
Springs, were welcome visitors to
the summer school one day.
Many pleasant memories of Spar
tanburg and Of Converse College
will remain with the teachers so
fortunate as to be present Mt the
Summer school of 1901.

After he had finished reading the
letter he did not stir for some time,
but sat still and gazed long at the
blank lines below those upon which
he had written. Suddenly rousing
himself as though from sleep, he
went over to his knapsack, placed his
tablet therein, picked up a belt to
which hung bayonct, fastened it
around his waist, went to the door
and passed out into the night.
Reaching the pavement he paused a

clouds had long since covered up
the moon and stars, leaving the city
wrapped in night as dark as Egypt.
Word had just been passed that
the colonel's little daughter had dis
appeared, and it was feared that she
had fallen into the hands of the
Boxers. The mother was frantic
with grief, fearing the worst. A
messenger had been dispatched to-
the father, who was absent from the
city on an undertaking Just outside
the walls. The American soldiers
were detailed to every part of the
Chinese town with instructions to
leave not single corner unsearchcd
wherein penny might rest unseen.
Minutes and hours dragged slowly
by, bringing no news of the lost one
to the mother whoso heart was
breaking under the strain. Near
morning the colonel came, and after
trying to comfort his gricf-strickcn
wife with what poor words of COM
fort he could command-h own
heart groaning in its allliction-hc
too joined in the search. No one
among the soldiers seemed to notice
the absence of one of their number,
or if they did no one attached to it
any significance.
Just as the sun in it's beautiful set
ting OF early morning colors was be-
ginning the days course across the
sky, the colonel, in command of a
small company of scarchcrs, entered
what seemed to bc n deserted hut,
but throwing open the shutters in
the eastern wall, the sunlight came
through, and like halo danced and
played in the golden hair of little
Bcth-fast asleep, her head pillowcd
upon the breast Of the lfeless form
of a young American soldier, his
dark brown hair clustering in ring.

The Product of Irrigation Farms.

awaiting only the magic touch Of water
to flow forth. would benefit every class
OF people Of every section Of the country.
The benefits would come to millions Of
new home builders in the west, the east
ern merchants and manufacturers, the
merchants who would supply the new
markets thus created. the workers of the
factories in the east who would be called
upon to make the things the new settlers
of the west would want, and the agricul-
turalist of the east would be specially
benefited by supplying the demands of
the new factory workers. No product of
the land of this distant west would ever
come in competition with that Of the
eastern farmer.
The rapidly multiplying millions Of
the east are beginning to see las they
never saw before. that they need but
to reach out their hands to open for
themselves the gateway to the great
west of the future, with all it's boundless
opportunities for wealth production, and
for building homes and prosperous COM
munities. The people Of the east are
not needless Of the prophecy Of Macau-
lay. of which Garfleid said that when
he first read it it startled me like an
alarm bell at night" They see that we
have already in the east our Birming-
hams and Manchesters. and that Tin
these Birminghams and Manchesters
hundreds of thousands of artisans will
assuredly be some time out Of work"
But as they turn to the west they see
that we still have. quote Macaulay's
words, "a boundless extent of fertile and
unoccupied land,'' needing only the
touch of water to be made productive.
And they see that for years to come
there is an outlet for all our surplus
labor in the reclamation and settlement
of this great domain Of arid land in the
west.
Writing in the North American Re-
view some ten years ago, Gen. Nelson
A. Miles said the subjugat,on of the
deserts of the west and their complete
conquest of this great empire will be
the grandest achievement Of tn people OF
this nation in the early years of the
twentieth century.
The "open sesame" which will swing
back he gates leading to the greater
west. and open then to this vast army Of
home builders, has been found. 1t has
been evolved from the experiences Of %
years of preliminary irrigation develop
ment, and from the investigation of emf
nent experts and engineers of the gov
eminent, and from tie deliberations Of
the annual sessions Of the National Irri-
CATION congress for the last eight years.
and it has finally crysta!lized in the con-
xtitutiOn Of the National Irrigation asso. .
