Gov. Hayward of South Carolina

About a year or SO ago President
Roosevelt was in New York attending
the funeral Of his uncle. AS the funer-
al procession was slowly vending its
way down Fifth avenue the following
conversation was overheard between
Il policeman and man from Fourth
avenue who had just crossed the Park.
'Who's that?" asked the man, point
ing over in a general way to where
the presidents carriage was surround

HORNET A PEST REDUcER.
Although They Sometimes Sting, the
Insects Are O. Real Benefit
to Mankind.

AS the leaves are falling and the
hunting season is on, hornets nests
become the target of occasional
thoughtless hunters, says Field and
Stream. There is much more TO be
said against this useless practice than
that it is waste of ammunition. Hor-
nets or "white-faced wasps" have no
evil traits or obnoxious features. 1t is
true that they will sometimes sting,
but only when they are attacked in
their homes, or think their young are
in danger. The great value of these
insects is that they live entirely upon
insects, mostly flies, and, in fact, when
they are near dwellings their food is
generally the common horse fly. They
are natures greatest factors in re-
ducing this serious pest. 1t is we'll
known that flies carry disease germs,
such as typhoid fever, and it can thus
be seen that hornets have decidedly
sanitary effect as a result of their de-
sirable insectiverous habits.

TeacAers' Examination.

At the teachers examination Friday

certificate wss issued, and that q third

There we're 10 applicants, "a OF whom

but there seems " be a disposition on
the part OF some Of the teachers To
trust 10 luck. We wish especially 70
call the attention VI the teachers 70
che subject Of pedagogy. In the work
on this subject, many teachers left
questions wholly unanswered stating
that they had never read q work on
pedagogy. The law provides for this
subject There are many good texts
on this subject aud the members Of the
board felt it their duty TO make no
allowance when the applicants had
thus failed 70 qualify themselves. We
trust the teachers Of Morgan county
will avail themselves Of every oppor.
tuuity " prepare for more thorough
work. One way 70 make better wages
for the teachers, IA 70 turn out better
teachers. A weak teacher is dear At
any price, and Is an imposition on the
district employing the teacher.
While the board does not intend 70
be harsh or unreasonable, it will Z
psct better work from the teachers In

A veritsble Flower Garden.

The Millinery Opening ct the store
Of Mrs. J. w. Boles, on the east side oi
the Square. last Friday and Saturday,
attracted . crowd Of ladies In this city
snd vicinity who could be seen smerg.
Ing from the place at all times with
neat bundles, indicative OF the numer.
Gus purchases that had been made. A
visit 70 the ntors evidenced the artistic
tsste which had been exercised in the
selection Of elegant spring hats and
Easter bonnets there on display. The
p~rofusion OF ribbons in animated colors
and q wealth Of flowers In green, lilac,
brown and white. the prevailing shades
Of the early spring season appeared 10
e1use sweet fragrance in their halo Of
beauty.
The decision was general that Mrs
Boles had outdone any former effort In
making her selections and had brought
on a stock of millinery more dazzling
and in larger quantity than vas ever
before displayed in Versailles. While
the individual beauty Of each and every
hat or bonnet appealed to the taste Of
the most fastidious dresser, the prices
were moderate ia every instance.
This opening was q success and the
nobby patterns, latest styles and art
full selections created a business OF
which any milliner might justly feel
proud. Though the sales we're quite
satisfactory Mrs. Boles still has mum
beautiful spring hats and stylish
bonnets on hand and will he pleased 10
meet her customers ut all times in her
establishment on the east side, and
will make the prices on headwear an
object 10 the trade.
