New Ordinances.

We publish in another column two new
ordinances passed at the last meeting of
Council. These ordinances are made to
meet two specific nuisances-the sale OF
cannon crackers" by merchants, (which
is in direct violation of the State laws)
and the abominable and semi barborous
practice of firing them on the streets of
the town or within the corporate limits.
Just why any merchant, who receives the
protection of tho town, does business
within its borders and obtains his pro-
fits in great measure through the patron
age of citizens of the town, should see
fit to engage in selling goods that are
Objectionable to Dinety-nine out of every
hundred of the citizens of the town, is q
question hard to solve. Surely the
measley derived profit from their sale is
not 80 attractive as to furnish the incen.
tive to violate the law. The desire of a
dozen or two idle, scatter Drained youths
and men to violate the local laws, is the
motive for shooting the dangerous and
deafening "cannon cracker" and the
practice should be stopped. There il
nothing more effective than a few $50 OF
800 fines.

Silver Question In Mexico.

Eagle Pass, Texas, December 1.-THE
machinists in tho shops of the Mexican
International Railroad, at Ciudad Por-
fiero Diaz, have been notified that from
December 1st they will be paid standard
American wages on a gold basis; the
machinists will got $3.50 and the boiler
makers $3.50 per day in American money
or in Mexican silver at the average rate
Of exchange for the month in which
they work. This is an entirely now de-
parture in Mexican railroading and was
caused by the fact that Americans could
not be held at the old rates. The ad
vance applies only to Americans.

Meeting OF Oconee Teachers Association


The Oconee Teachers Association met
urday, and transacted routine business
and completed the election of officers.
It was altogether a most pleasant and
profitable meeting, tho teachers from
various schools in the county becoming
| acquainted with each other, thus increas-
ing the feeling of mutual interest and
| adding personal friendships that will be
of benefit to all in the prosecution OF
their duties.
Aside from the regular teachers meet
ing there WAS much interest manifested
in the work of the OcOnee Rural School
Improvement Association, which is COM
posed of the same membership as the
Teachers Association, yet is a separate
and distinct organization. Appropriate
exercises we're held by tho o. r. S. 1. A.,
part of which was the raising of a
handsome flag presented to the Walhalla
school by the Youths Companion. An
appropriate address was delivered by
Major VIM. j. Stribling, who accepted
the flag on behalf of the trustees of the
school. Rev. j. G.. Schaid also spoke
briefly and to the point. The work being
ming to show itself in many ways in the
schools of the county. In great measure
the credit for the success of the move
ment is duo to Miss Marye Shelor, whose
untiring efforts and enthusiastic zeal in
the work are bound to bring about prac-
tical results. There were about two hun
dred persons present at the exercises.
The teachers meeting proper was held
in the school building after the presenta-
ton of the flag. This body was addressed
by r. II. Jaynes, Esq, who made very
practical and and appropriate talk.
The following members and visitors
were present: Rev. j. M. Mcclure, Wal
halla, teacher; Henry p. Boggs, Seneca,
principal Seneca Graded Schools; Misses
Sara M. Livingston and Emily May
Thompson, Seneca, teachers Seneca

tary of the association; j. S. Callas,

The next meeting of the association
will be held at the Walhalla Graded
School building on Saturday, February
14th, 1903 and it is earnestly hoped that
every member who can possibly attend
will do so. The interest manifested in
the work is encouraging and an increase
of attendance will do much to help the
cause of Improvement and betterment of
the school system in the county. At the
next meeting Mr.. o. B. Martin, State
Superintendent of Education, will be
present and address the body on matters
pertaining to education.

Profitable Farming.

w. G.. Drake, of Society Hill, it is re-

$175 worth of oabbages from little
growing good second Drop ON the out
stalks, worth five cents a head. Mrs.
Mccall, of the same neighborhood, has
sold 500 worth of fine onions from
another quarter of an acre. 1t really
seems that farming ought not to be un-
profitable for any farmer in South Caro-
lima in such conditions.
