MET IN GROSS 1 L
The County Teachers Association-Tht
Interesting Topics Discussed.

The Laurens County Teachers AS
ISOLATION met in the school building at
Cross Hill, Saturday, Feb. IA, 1908. In
absence of the President, w. p. Gull
bertson was made President pro tenn.
The following program was executed
to the interest, and we trust to the pro-
fit, of those present:
First. Some methods Of teaching
spelling.
Seconds: How best to enlist the inter
est of patrons in school work.
Third: Vertical writing versus the
slant system.
Fourth: Some methods of teaching
history.
All of these subjects were fully dis
cussed by Sc ieral OF the teachers pres.
emit. Among the number were: Job
Y%eargin, Mrs. l.. S. McSwain, Miss
Josie McSwain, Miss Bessie Hudgens,
Miss Myrtle Culbertson, Miss Annie
Clardy, w. P. Culbertson and others.
Several methods of teaching spelling
were presented, all good, some better,
and each one the result Of some thought
full experience. AS to the second ques-
tion the sentiment seemed to prevail
that the patrons OF Our schools have
not the work of educating their chill
dren at heart as they should have it,;
that n probable reason for this Is the
neglect to cultivate proper social rela'
tiions and mutual sympathy between
teachers and patrons. 1t was urged
that teachers should visit the homes Of
the patrons at least once during each
session, and that patrons should visit
the school frequently. In regard to
writing, the bulk of the argument was
in favor of the vertical system. Some
worthy methods VI teaching history
were presented and should receive the
benefit Of q fair test.
Several outside the teaching profes.
sion were present,-some Of whom took
an active part in the proceedings.
While for different reasons the attend.
ancs was not very large the meeting
was pleasant and fruitful.
Cross Hill has recently enlarged and
otherwise improved her school build
ing and to her teaching force a second
assistant has been added. With i'm
proved facilities Mr.. Yeargin and his
co-'ahorers are doing a good work.

A. JACK N Is DEAD.
Well Known Greenviile Mana Ma.
tive Of Laurens.

The news has been received with
much regret by his friends and &C.
quaintances here that Mr.. A. j. Jones,
OF the Greenville Clothing and Shoe
Company, had passed away from bron
chial and kidney trouble. He has been
in failing health for quite a while, and
Tor several weeks has been kept from
his place Of business by reason Of this
fact, but his death was unexpected even
by his nearest friends.
Mr.. Jones was 88 years of age, a ma
tive of Laurens County, the son of Ben
Jones, and grandson of Gen. A. @.
Jones, for many years a prominent snd
influential citizen Of Laurens, who was
we'll known throughout the State. He
married Miss Susan l.. Garrison, who
survives him with three children. He
left two brothers and one sister, namely,
a. O. Jones Of Newberry, w. Il. Jones,
OF Atlanta, and Miss lula Jones, of
Walhalla. He was a member Of Re-
covery Lodge, No. 81, A. F. M, and
also q member OF the Second Presby-
terrain Church. His life was insured
for $4,000.
Mr.. Jones was one OF the most popu-
lar statesmen that ever lived in Green
vile, and in whatever line Of business
he was engaged he was invariably pa
tronized by a host of friends. His gen.
iai manners and pleasant disposition,
added to the thorough knowledge of
the quality of goods, made him a prime
fayorite with customers. His business
qualifications were such as to make
him In demand, and for several years
he was a successful commercial trav-
eler.

Lard Expensive aud Injurious.

Lard is not only expensive but iniur-
ious to the health when used in liberal
quantities. To make the so-called
cheap patent iours white enough, the
life is all ground out of the flour; then
1t is necessary to load it up with lard to
make 1t work. This accounts largely
for your heavy biscuits and rolls and
digestion. 1t takes less than one-half
the lard to work "Cnfton" that it does
the cheap patents, SO you not only save
more than the difference, but get "a
more healthful and nutritious food
product. Health and economy dictate
the use of "Clifton." Sold by M. III.
Fowler and Il. N. Barksdale.

Letter to w. Dess Franks.
Laurens, S. O.

Lanrens, s.. O.
Dear Sir: We hear you're doing a
good business, and we know already,
without your telling us, that you use
good paint and do good work. We've
got o big business toc-been at it 149
years-making good paint, best paint
in the world, Devoe Lead and Zinc.
Fewer gallons and wears longer'-
that's the reason IN short. 1t takes fewer
gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than OF
mixed paints to cover a house, and it
wears longer than lead and,oil or any
mixed paints.
Smith & Wilbur, Cambridge Springs,
Pa, writes.
Ore of IL painters says Devoe is the
paint for o painter to use when taking
work by the job, as it goes farther and
covers better than any paint he ever
used.
Here's the experience everybody has
With 1T. The dealer who sells Devoe
gets the bulk of the paint business o.
his town. The painter who paints De.
voc gets the painting of his town.
Yours truly,
E. w. DEvoE g. Co.@

The most impot tant innovation pro-

for the sender to meet the carrier on

Store keepers on rural routes Gus

pleted--Tle successful Jones
High School.

WARES SHOALS, Feb. 21.--The big
storm struck this place with considera-
BILE force Monday afternoon. No lives
were lost, but several were endangered.
Mr.. L. J.. Snyder was at his place OF
business and was caught up by the vio-
lent winds and carried several yards,
narrowly escaping being blown into the
river by grasping a bush. The prop
erty damaged though not very great
was very general, almost every home
needed some repairs.
On the farm of Mrs. e. G. Mitchell q
new barn was blown down and literally
torn to pieces. Mr.. VIM. Wood had q
good horse killed by it's fall.
Progress on al lines OF work has
been greatly retarded by the contin-
uous inclemency of the weather, but
when the sun shines 1t will always find
our lworkmen at their posts anxious to
resume their labors.
The railroad has been surveyed and
the projectors hope to soon have It un-
der con struction.
A small school has been opened at
this place. Miss Maud Chandler is the
teacher.
A Sabbath School was organized on
last Sabbath. with Mr.. j. Il. Taylor as
Superintendent. The attendance was
good and there are encouraging pros
poets for some successful work.
A prayer-meeting was organized by
the Christian workers Of this commu-
nifty several weeks ago and is increas-
ing in numbers and in interest. An
appropriate house OF worship is much
needed and as other necessities are so
readily bestowed on US, 80 we trust,
this may be also.
The Jones High School, which many
of our children attend, is progressing
nicely under the supervision of Miss
Meta Sullivan. A literary society was
organized last Friday night for the
benefit of the school and was attended
by some of the young men and ladies
from Wares Shoals.
The bridge across Turkey Creek is
finished. The temporary bridge across
Saluda is under construction.
