tie last session Of its fortieth annual
convention, adopted declaration Of
principles declaring that the problem
Of e3smentary education Is the most

school, from the kindergarten to and
including the university, shall be open
to every boy and girl Of our country. =
6.The liberality Of men Of wealth In
making large donations to institutions
of learning Is to be strongly commend
ed and encouraged.
1.-THE public school system of a state
should be unit from the kindergarten
to and including the university, and all
private Institutions should endeayOr to
work In harmony with the ideals Of
public education 80 far as their special
purpose will admit them.
S-Legislation with respect to public
education must not wait for public SEN
tfment 1t should lead public senti.
ment when necessary. School legtsla-
tion should be under the general direc.
tioa Of educational experts
0-The association recognizes the
principle that the child has the same
right to be protected by law from ig-
nOrance As from abuse, neglect and
hunger; and 1t therefore records with
approval that many of the leading
states Of the Union have compulsory
education laws upon their statute
books.
10-while many cities have at least
partly solved the problem OF school
supervision, In most rural communities
the problem IL almost wholly unsolved
Close. constant, expert supervision Of
schools In both city and country is i'm
perativeIy demanded.
1.-THE association watches with
deep interest the solution Of the prob
lem Of consolidating rural schools and
transporting pupils at the public ex-
pense. now attempted In many Of our
leading states. We believe that this
movement will lead to the establish
ment Of township and county high
schools and thus bring more advanced
education to rllrnl communities.
2-The state should support and con-
troll institutions whose object Ii the
preparation OF teachers for the public
schools.
13-SO one should be placed In
charge OF q school who has not been
previously trained for the work Of
teaching.

Protect Our Cotton Market.

We recently called attention to the
necessity for a thorough protection of
our tobacco market, and pointed out the
source of complaint, which is said to be
the cause of Manning not getting its
lust proportion of this trade making
product. What we said was the truth,
and nothing but the truth, and it was
written with the motive to arouse our
business people to an awakening Of
their own interests. ltwas our purpose
to warn them of sitting idly or indif-
ferently by and permit avarice and
greed, like the fox in the fable, kill the
goose that laid the golden egg.
But our business people have not only
been permitting themselves to be lulled
into indifference in the tobacco business,
the cotton traffic is not getting their
attention as it should. Thousands of
bales of cotton have been taken to Sum-
ter on account of the lack Of strong
competitive market. The farmers want
competition, they want to see more than
one active buyer. They want buyers to
buy from them direct and not have it
understood with merchant, that they
will buy from him at night. The fact
that the cotton buyers shows an indif-
ference about buying from the farmers,
creates the belief that he does not bid
up to his limit so that his favorite mer-
chant will get the cotton, and at night
buver and merchant divide profits.
whether there is any ground fer such
a suspicion, it is believed, by many far
mers, and the town is the loser thereby.
The merchants at this place should
see to it that more than one active
buyer holds down this market, and
they must also see to it that the
farmer gets his full price for his
cotton. If it is not done the far
mers will carry their cotton else
where and where they are driven with
their cotton, they will buy their goods.
We know it to be fact that last
season cotton passed through this town
for Sumter because the owners of it
were not pleased with the manipula-
tions here. This should not be, because
it is damaging to all interests. Man
ming can, and will, if her business men
are alive to their interests and give as

Frank c. Lechner, Cashier of Bank Of Tim.
monsville, Has Mysteriorsly Disappeared.

Timmonsville. Aug. 31.-Some tive
weeks ago Mr.. Frank G. Lechner, for
number Of years the cashier of the
Bank of Timmonsville, secured leave
of absence for several days to visit
Griffin, Ga, where he has agricultu-
raj interests, and where his wife and
daughter are spending the summer.
Mr.. Lechner was to have been absent
for not longer than four or five days,
but his absence has been prolonged
and no one knows where he is. His
| family in Griffin have heard nothing
from him nor have the bank direc-
tors. A card written from Savannah
was received several days after his
departure, saying that he had been
left and would return a day later,
| but he has not turned up. There is
much mystery connected with the
/ incident. One suggestion is to the
effect that Mr.. Lechner may have
taken sick and stopped some where
to recover. This is not credited for
the reason that in such an instance
| he would have notified his home.
Some think that he may have lost
his mind and wandered off. While
he has always been regarded as a
very eccentric man he has never
shown any signs of insanity. No
one believes that the cashier left be-
cause OF any crookedness in the
bank. The directors have not had
an opportunity to carefully examine
the books, but have found the cash
all right. Something like $3.50 in
connection with collections is short.
In one instance a draft on a busi-
ness man here was paid by that gen
tleman, but the amount not for
warded to the bank making the
draft. An expert will examine the
books in few days and then the
condition will be known. Mr.. Lech-
ner has stood high with the business
men Of the town and no little sorrow
is felt over his disappearance.
Mr.-Raymond G. Rollins, the book
keeper OF the John McSween compa-
ny, has been elected cashier. Mr..
Rollins is quite young man but
has exceptional qualifications for the
work

much for cotton as Sumter and a few
words over the telephone will always
give the people the Sumter market.
We are deeply interested, because we
love our town, our interests are here,
and as far as we are able, we will pro
tect the town against everything which
in our Judgment is to it's injury. Man
nine must be made a cotton market
the equal of Sumter, and our Claren-
don farmers should bring their cotton
and help make it so. Farmer and mer-
chant must pull together, and both
will succeed, but if the farmer gets
hurt, the merchant is crippled, and II
the merchant is crippled, the farmer IS
hurt. If there has been any manlpu-
lating of the cotton market heretofore,
let us all see to it that there will be
none this season.
