Teachers Meeting.

scciation was held last Saturday in
the Institute building. On account
CT the iuclemency of the weather
there was not large crowd present.
But what was lacking in numbers
was made up by enthusiasm; for we
don't thirk We ever saw body of
men and women more interested or
determined to do something than
this one was.
The 6rst subject to be discussed
was Map Drawing by Miss Mary G.
W;ngard. Miss Wingard said that
while she had studied map drawing
herself, yet she did not approve Of
it and did net teach it in her school.
Thought children could be taught
geography in more practical way.
The subject YVES taken up at the
conclusion Of Miss Wingard'a ad-
dress BY the members Of the Asso-
ciation. Some of the teschers said
they bad used map drawing to GER
tain extent. Prof Thedeous Dreher
took up the subject and discussed it
at length. Thought that too much
valuable time was wasted in country
schools by having 60 much map
drawing. Gave an instance where
young man in New York was taken
from school by his father because he
was kept at map drawing too long.
Prof. g U. Shealy said he had never
studied may drawing, but had gone
to school where it was taught. He
observed that some made q success
and some did not.
Hon. j. E R Kyzer gave his ex-
perierce said be had found seyersl
schools in the country, where map
drawing was taught and seemingly,
with success. The next speaker
present was Prof. S J. Derrick, but
on account of not being notified he
had,not prepared g speech.
Then the adoption of the new
constitution took place. Prof.
Shealy moved that it be adopted as
q whole, but it was shown by some
that it would be best to adopt by
articles; this was done. After some
lively discussions the constitution
was fnally accepted aud regular
line Of work mapped out by the execu-
tive? The following IS the program
for the next meeting in February:
l. Moral Training-Prof. S. j. Der
rick.
2. What Shall the Teacher Read?
Prof. E. =. Shealy.
3. What Punishments are Most
ETectual?-President j. E. r Kyzer
We trust that every teacher who
can will be present at the next meet
ing. The program is good one
and the men who are on it are all
experienced teachers who know their
business. They will be an inspira-
ton to young teachers by telling
their experiences on these various
subjects.
Please reraember that these meet
ings are open 70 all white teachers in
Lexington county. President Kyzer
requests US to say that the program
of the meetings will be printed in
the Lexington Dispatch.

bill for this year as reported only
exceeded that of last year by an ap-
preparation CT $4,000.
MIR. Efrd, of Lexington, favored
cutting the appropriations for the
colleges. He grew quite indignant
at the attacks made on those who
questioned the expediencey of these
appropriations. Sentiment yester-
day took the throat of the house and
led it out of reason. He warned the
house that he never had yet seen
such an effort to crush down the
young men in the house.
TIE appropriations for the other
State colleges went through as slick
as creased lightning, except the item
relating to Winthrop and the settle.
ment cf this was continued to the
evening session.
The house took recess until 8.
p. m.
At the night session great num-
ber of committee reports were re-
ceived.
An unfavorable report was made
on the claim for unpaid claims for
school furniture and maps.
The amendment to reduce the ap-
preparation for Winthrop from S43,-
900 to $4,000 WAS lost by vote Of
81 to Al and the appropriation stands
as reported by the committee.
The house adjourned with Mr..
Austin's amendment appropriating
100000 to the free schools before it.
A. the day session of the senate
Wednesday the members were very
windy and the actual results were
the killing of the wide tire bill and
the bill creating State pardoning
record.
Mr.. Marshall's child bill was con
sidered and the senate refused to
continue it until the next session by
vote of 20 to II. Senator Sharpe
voted against continuing the bill.
The house Thursday reccd d from
its position on the appropriation to
the South Carolina college and re-
stored the original sum of S2S,OOO.
The entire morning session was
devoted to the discussion of the ap-
preparation bill and the measure was
not half disposed of when the house
took a recess.
Speaking on the item to appro-
pirate 100000 to free schools
Mr.. E6rd recalled the bill of last
year and said that he had voted
against it then. he contended that
this question had been made an
issue in the last campaign. The
representatives are not here to legis-
late for their counties but for the
whole State. II more money is to
be spent, he wanted it 80 spent that
it will 60 to those who need it. The
report of the State superintendent
of education shows that the schools
now run over FIVE months. He op-
posed the proposed appropriation.
The house at the evening session
disposed of the appropriation bill.
The house was in bill killing
humor, and several bills met an un-
timely death, and at 1885 adjourn

NATIONAL sEsREe AGENTS.
Aristocratic Spies Who Are Welcomed
in OmclaI Circles.

Moving in the most brilliant and
intellectual circles of society in every
great capital in the world-in Wash
ington as in st. Petersburg, Paris, or
Vienna-there are certain number
of men and women, foreigners of dis
tinction, plying a strange, unnamed
but very profitable trade. They are
the secret, paid agents of their respec-
tive governments. Officially they are
not recognized as diplomatists by the
country they serve, much less by the
country in which they live. Yet they
are doing diplomatists' work-often
for more than diplomatists' wages.
They would indignantly resent the
name spy" Yet in return for their
handsome salaries they keep their
home government minutely posted on
all the undercurrents Of political
movements concerning it in the CAPT
tails in which they are established.
This diplomatist lays siege to soci-
ETY.. Well dressed, witty, if man dis
tinguished looking if woman, beau
tiful; giving handsome entertain
ments and figuring at every society
function, our friend gradually gains
a sure footing in the social life of the
capital. Presently he has come to
be recognized as an authority upon
the affairs of his country. People ap-
peal to him for interesting new facts,
! for explanations of events taking
! place there, for personal impressions
! - or roc
monarch of his country, whose acts
are being perhaps unfayorably COM
mented upon. Some five or six years
| ago a German baroness died suddenly
in Paris. When her papers were ran
sacked by the commissary OF police
it was discovered that she had been
a secret service agent for her country.
From her diary and account books II
appeared that she had received from
her government $500 a month, the
rent of a superb apartment on the
Avenue Friedland by the Arc de Tri
omphe, and the keep of her two-horse
brougham, with cocher and valet dc
pied, besides generous travelling ex
penses whenever she was requested to
visit Berlin. In addition to this very
sufficient wage there was noted also
the receipt of sums varying from $500
to $500, entered as special recon
pense"-presumably for some excep
tionally brilliant stroke of diplomaci
or some more than usually valuable
item of information. The disclosure
attracted a great deal of attention a
the time, and practically forced out o
Paris society one of the late baron
ess' nephews, who had married tn
daughter of an illustrious ducal house

MAKE SADDLES AND HARNESS.
Novel Business Enterprises of Some
Pushing Southern Women.

Novel BuBin6s enterprises oH SUNNI
Pushing Southern Women.
Among the novel occupations of the
feminine breadwinners of the land
none are more diversified and un-
usual than those undertaken by the
fair ones of the southern states who
have been cast by fortune upon their
own resources. In one of the small
towns of Florida resides the only
woman saddler in America. Upon the
death of her husband, instead of sell
ing the good will and fixtures" as
her neighbors kindly suggested, the
widow carried on the business, with
the help of an assistant. Gradually
she mastered every detail of the trade
and finally succeeded in building up
the most lucrative business of the
kind in the county, not only main
tanning the standard of work done by
her husband, but by long ago out
stripping him in thrift and prosper
ity. In Georgia woman not only
personally delivers the mail over a
forty-mile route, riding over the
sparsely settled region of Montgomery
county thrice weekly during the entire
year. but manages a large farm as
well, doing much of the manual la
Dor. such as blowing, narrowing, SOW
| ing and harvesting, and supporting by
her energy and courage family OF
| four. Not twenty miles from Savan-
nah as the crow flies there resides a
widow of forty who for the last ten
years has made more than a comfort
| able income as a government contrac-
I tor, bidding for the removal of
wrecks. the anchoring of buoys, build
ing OF jetties and dredging Vir-
ginia girl has made a widespread
reputation as we'll as a good bank ac-
count as a trainer of saddle horses.
Few people riding OVER the new Lon
don Northern railway are aware that
the company employs the only wo-
man train dispatcher in the world.
Her responsibility is great. her hours
from o'clock in the morning to in
the evening, her duties a continual
nervous and mental strain. Quite re-
Gently the directors of the road COM
plimented her upon her efficient ser
vice, and it is a pleasure to add that
she receives the same compensation

FIFTEEN Pupils, AN Princessss.

In a school opened in Bangkok by
an English lady there are fifteen pu-
pills, and all are princesses of the royal
family of Siam. They receive lessons
each day in reading, writing and music,
but the time which they spend in this
way is trifiing compared with that
spent in learning to become good
housewives. They board at the school,
and they are taught to cook, sweep
rooms, wash clothes, bake bread and
do everything else that good house
keeper is supposed to know. They
cook the meals in turn, and, while one
is thus engaged, the others lay the
table, arrange the flowers and write
the menu.
