Summer School for White Teachers.

/ take pleasure in announcing again
that the summer school will open at
BelPs Hall on Tuesday, June Itch, at 8
O'Clock a. M, and will be conducted by
Prof. BENZ. Geer, of Furman University,
with Miss Susie Williams as assistant.
large attendance of the teachers is
expected, as those who have attended
before have expressed themselves as
having been greatly benefited in their
work as teachers and in many other prac-
tical ways. Even if there was no knowl-
edge gained by attending these schools,
the time and money spent would be a
paying investment in way of advertising
your ability to teach. When teachers
come and do a month faithful work the
marks they make become g part of the
public records of this office, and they
constitute a better advertisement for
them to trustees than anything / might
say. Trustees and the people at large pre-
fer teachers who attend these institutes.
For the reason just given, if for no
other, teachers can very well afford to
come; but there is real and substantial
knowledge and skill acquired by attend.
ing these schools, and that is the highest
reason that ought to prompt every
teacher toSattend who desires to give
value received for their wages.
/ have never heard any one who at
tended, and did faithful work, say he
was not Denefited by 80 doing.
The course of study this year will be
English grammar and rhetoric, English
literature and music.
! hope every teacher who possibly can
will be hero on the first day, ready for a
good months work, as it is contrary to
the rules of the State Board for me to
renew the certificate of any teacher who
does not attend the school.
In order that all the teachers may have
perfect opportunity to come, the County
Board of Education have passed a resoln-
tion asking that no schools be taught
during the session of the summer school
Miss Williams has asked me to adver-
tise that she desires twelve children who
have never been to school at all and about
as many who have been only one year to
meet her on the morning of the opening.
No books will be required for them.

Supt. of Education, Oconee County,

In Memoriam.

1t is our sad duty to notice in our or
ganzed capacity the death of our friend
and colleague, DR.. ID. b. Darby. He was
born, reared and educated at Fort Motto,
in this State. Ho received his medical
diploma from the State University, at
Columbia, in 1870 or ~. After his
graduation he practiced his profession
in Georgia short time, and then located
in Walhalla. 1t was in Walhalla where
he achieved unusual success in the most
laboriOus and exacting of professions.
About this time he was happily married
to Miss Ida Harrison, daughter of Gen.
}. w. Harrison, one of the most popu-
lar and prominent men in Anderson
county; first-rate representative of that
best, but almost extinct, type of man
the Southern gentleman. Mrs. Darby
and two sons, James II. and Jack, sur
vive him. Many members of the pro-
fession in this county knew DR.. Darby
personally and had learned to appreci-
ate his many virtues as n man, and to
value highly his learning and ability as a
physician. 1t is peculiarly true that all
medical knowledge is the aggregate of
medical experience. Our friend had an
immense fund of experience from which
to his cheerful and inspirtng presence
in the sick room, and his kind and gen
tie manner made him exceedingly popu-
lar and large and intelligent circle of
friends and patrons. BY them he has
been, and will be, greatly missed. He was
kind, gentle and indulgent in his family
true, loyal and patriotic in his relations
to his friends, neighbors and county.
Punctilious in his observance of the Code
of Ethics, his memory extorts our admi-
ration and attracts our love- While we
mourn for him let us emulate his virtues
and follow his example.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN MINES.
Mr.. C. C. Burton, Formerly Of WaIhalla,
nlsd Tuesday from Injuries Received.

The sad news reached Walhalla early
this morning that Mr.. Capers G. Burton,
eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Burton,
died at st. Vincent's Hospital, Birming-
ham, Ala, Tuesday morning, from the
effects of serious injuries received last
Thursday in a mine explosion at Bloss-
burg, Ala. The accident was due to the
premature explosion -of dynamite
blast, and number of men employed In
the mine were injured. Mr.. Burton
was an excellent young man, only about
twenty-five years of age, and his un-
timely death Is source of much sorrow
to his many friends in Walhalla and
vicinity. Hopes were entertained for his
recovery, and on Monday evening word
was received here that his physicians
were confident an operation performed
to relieve fracture of the skull would
be successful and render his recovery
almost sure. But the end was near and
the final summons came but short while
after the operation was performed. In his
death young man of worth has been
taken away, aud his parents and family
have tho sympathy of the entire com.
munity in their sorrow. The remains will
be brought to Walhalla this evening, and
the funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow. The burial service will be
at the Baptist cemetery about IL o'clock
o. m.

Immodsst or Shameless Advertisements.

The Charleston News and Courier OF
last Saturday has this: "The president
and secretary Of a company which fur
nished slot machines for the purpose OF
displaying indecent pictures, it is noted,
have begun to serve a years term in Jail
at Chicago" Walhalla has suffered COM
paratively little from these immodest OF
sh ameless advertisements. Our dealers
are men of character and generally
sell goods worth the money, without
needing nasty and obscene pictures to
call attention to them. a thing which
needs low and debasing picture to
advertise it., is generally trashy, not
worth decent persons money. Besides,
a rightminded person will not go into
such store.
