State Teachers Association.

The State Teachers ASSOCIATION vas
called to order in the in Winthrop au-
ditorium Thursday night at 9 O'Clock
by Prof A. G.. Rempert of Spartan
burg, chairman of the executive COM
mittee. He made a very catchy little
talk and then introduced the president
elect, Prof. S. H. Edmunds of the
Sumter graded schools. Under res
olution all members are limited to ten
minutes, and in that time Mr.. Ed
munds said as much as many speakers
would say in ten hours. His address
was a most excellent production, and
the ladies pelted him with flowers,
while the audience applauded.
Prof Edmuncs was followed by
Prof Hand, of the Chester graded
schools, whose subject was Schools
and Moral Trai0ing How can and do
the SCI ools Subserve tie growth Ct the
pupil in moral sense and voiiton." :"
1t was such an excellent production
that motion was made by member
CT the association that Mr.. hands
time be extended ten minutes, but Mr..
Hand declined, and President Ed
munds facetiously suggested that be
thought wisely There was some dis
cussion of Mr. Hands excellent paper,
aad among those who were called upon
were the Hon. NJ f. Ansil of Green
Vile, candidate Tor governor two years
ago. He declined on the ground that
be was not prepared.
The president suggested that BE
would like to hear a motion to ad-
journ, and such proposition being
made was adopted unanimously. Then
the teachers and visitors retired frcm
the building and two hours were de-
voted 20 that interesting experience
known as the campus course.
1t is said that more of the attend
ants take this course than any other,
and that there has been some real ad-
vancement made along that line

Story From Port Arthur Brought By
Chinese on a Junk.
MERCHANT SHIP SAID TO Be SUNK.
Commerce Of Other Countries
Seems to Be in Danger in the
Far East.

Chefoo, July 10, p. ma junk
with eight Russians and 80 Chinese on
board arrived here this afternoon, FIVE
days from Port Arthur The Russians
refused to talk, but the Chinese say
that July II and - the japanese cap
tured and occupied with 1900 men
one of the eastern forts near Port Ar
thur. Before reenforcements arrived
the Russians cut of the 1000 troops
in the fort and exploded mines which
resulted in the killing of every Japa-
nese soldier there.
The Chinese report also that the
night before they left Port Arthur
Russian torpedo boat sank a mer-
chant ship near Port Arthur, mistak-
ing her for Japanese transport.
Many Chinese on board the merchant
man were drowned, but the white
crew of the steamer and a number Of
her Chinese passengers were rescued
by the Russians. If this story is true
the steamer in question probably is
the Hipsang, belonging to the Indo-
China Navigation. company, whic hyes-
terday was 48 hours overdue from New
Chang, and which was reported to have
struck mine. The local agents of
the Hipsang say they believe the
steamer to have been lost.

we're taken to the Union and Glenn
Springs railroad depot and from there
carried to Buffalo by the electric road.
At Buffalo they saw ali exact copy,
except in size, of the large Olympia
mill at Columbia. Here is to be
found an oil mill, an ice plant, and
one of the handsomest small Office
buildings in the State The ice plant
there has already shipped out over 400
cars of ice this season All of these
belong to the Buffalo cotton mills of
which Col. T. G. Duncan is presi-

about 4, 500.

which is to shortly connect with the
Seaboard just above Carlisle and ex-
tend on to Glenn Springs and out to
Roebuck on the Charleston and Western

which will be in about year, people
coming from the lower part of the

not sufficient to show the association

company where such fine, full, cream
cheese are made. The creamery is not
on railroad and is two miles from
the city. It was therefore impossible
to reach this in the short length of

have been very interesting, and, too.
it is thing the whole State should

The MISSOURI DEMOCRACY.

Jefferson City, Mo. July 18.-The,
Democratic State Convention, which
convenes in Jefferson City tomorrow,
will, it is conceded, nominate Circuit
Attorny Joseph W. Folk, of st. Louis,
for Governor.
There is every indication that the
Convention will prove one of the MOST
interesting ever in NJ issouri.
The Folk supporters are trying TO
force the selection of Congressman
Vandiver, the manager of Folks cam
paign as temporary chairman. This
has aroused the antagonism of the
State machine" and a bitter fight
will probably result.
The following is from the plank
on the Doodle issue, which the repres-
sentatives Of Attorney Joseph ". Folk
will ask the State Democratic party
to incorporate in the platform to-mor-
row:
The paramount issue before the
people OF Missouri is the eradication of
bribery from public life in this State.
'We sincerely declare unre1nitting
warfare against corporations, and here
announces the decree that there is
no room in the Democratic party of
Missouri for boodler or corruptionist
of any sort. We repudiate their sup
port, invite them to leave the State
and offer them shelter only in the pen
itentiary if they remain. We have
confidence in tie honesty Of the peo-
pie and to then. Se appeal for success
We invite all honest people to join Us
in this crusade against corruption. 1t
is the vital prime. pie involved in this
campaign and on this issue We stake
the hope of the Democratic party Of
Missouri" z"

Col. BraiIsford's Reioinder.

Editor of The Naming Farmer: l
am peculiarly honored ehis week by
being pitched into by critic in each

against the bestowing of the Confeder-
ate crosses Of honor on those without
a shadow OF claim to them. They
could with as much right wear ma

belonging to those societies. Mr.. Joel
Brunson is especially indignant that
his right as a member Of the 9TH bat
talon S. G. Reserves to Confederate
veteran Sadge should be questioned.
As told by him he makes very good
showing as reserve, but still only a
reserve pure and simple. If these
yocng men cherish and wish to keep
green their experience in the State
service. why Go they not take deep
and earnest interest in al organization
formed to meet this end and exclusive
" theirs, the sons of veterans? am
not entering these protests in my In

The Labor Union Microbe.

I notice, through ycur columns,
that our tlourishing little city ! as
been invaded by a commercial pest,
which, if not stauped cut in its in-
cipency. win prove fer more disastrous
to the business interests CT Sumter
than would the dead boil weevil to
the adjacent, fourishing cotton fields
I refer to labor unions. 1t is true that
I have not been in this section long,
but I have been here long enough to
find out that ttUnicnism" will throt-
tie the business Of any community, if
it gains the ascendency. California is
simply infested, and the conditions,
in some places, are alarming. At pre-
sent, San Francisco seems to be suffer
ing more than any other place. I'm
ionism" is so strongly intrenched
there, that they have succeeded in
electingTa union mayor, and business
is suffering in every quarter. Build
ing is almost at stand still, carpen-
tiers and their associates demanding
and getting six and seven dollars for
eight hours work, and then idling
away their employers time in order to
make room for more of their class.
One of the largest contracting firms
there had to quit business and open up
in Los Angeles and gave, as their
reason, that, although they had all
they could possibly do in San Fran
icsco, they could make no money
labor got it all. In this case, as in
many others, "Unionism" killed the
goose that laid the golden egg" To
show how merciless is "Unionism" in
San FRANCISCO, last week, a funeral
procession was stopped, by the Walk
ing Delegate of the Hackmen's Union,
and not allowed to proceed because
the carriages were following a non
union hearse which bore the corpse.
The matter was finally adjusted, !"
and His Royal Highness. the Walking
Delegate, satisfied by compelling the
hearse, with its silent burden, to
proceed alone to the cemetery, the
carriages taking a circuitous route and
meeting it there, and this happened in
tine land of the free and the home of
the brave.'' Similar outrages have
occurred in Chicago and other cities.
The murders committed recently in
Colorado we're all union murders, the
red flower Of hourishing Unionism. !"
There is remedy which, if vigorously
applied by a community will stamp it
out at once and for all time, and this
is: simply don't employ them. If
this stand is firmly taken, at the start,
and adhered to, "Unionism'' cannot
flourish and society has been bettered
just that much.
To the mechanic who is thinking Of
joining a union, let me say, that the
grandest union OF all, the one most ad-
mired and always respectable and re-
spected, is the Union of Brain and
Brawn. Perfect yourself in your cho-
sen work, aim to attain the highest
point of excellence, then maintain it,
aud you have within you union as
strong as Gibraltar and one to which
no man can dictate. It is an old say
ing and true one, that there are
more good Jobs than there are people
to fill them.'' The object of Union
ISM is not to educate its members to
higher standardland better perform
ance Of their work, but to enforce and
demand a high scale Of wages for an
inferior service.

IN AUTOMOBILE HORROR.
One Man Thrown Sixty Feet III the

Two Men Ground to Death Be-.

Rockville Centre, L l., July IA
Jas. Snyder, of Brooklyn, and Frank
j. Correll, of Amityville, were in-
stantly killed and man believed to
bpe j. ". Jewell, of Brooklyn, was
so badly injured that be died soon
after, as the result OF collision be-
tween big touring automobile and a
train on the Long Island Railroad,
at Merrick road crossing, last night.
The Merrick road and the rallrosd d
tracks run for long distance side by
side, 'butin Rockville Centre the road
crosses the tracks at an acute
angle, .makingan unusally lorg and
dangerous crossing. The automobile
and its occupants wss apparently
racing with the train, and was ahead
as it approached the crossing. Per-
sons familiar with the road who were
watching the race, expected the car to
slow up, but instead its speed was in
creased. The hagman at the GROSS
ing waved his flag aud his lantern as
warning and the engineer of the
train, which was going at tull speed,
reversed the engine and blew his
whistle, but the automobile shot on
into the turn and upon the track.
The man believed to be Jewell was
thrown high in the air and landed
sixty feet from the rails. His skull
was crushed in and he died an hour
after the accident. Tne car with its
two occupants was carried FIVE huE-
dred feet on the COW catcher OF the
locomotive, and then druopped down
and was dragged some distance under
It, The pony truck of the engine
had to be raised before the wrecked
car and the mangled bodies could lie
released.
