was shortly in the arms Of those
who had given him life. 1t was
a sweet home coming,tinged with
the sadness of pressing need. But
that day the parents buried their
sorrow. They would be cheerful
for Johns sake. Around the open
fireplace the trio sat until the
shades of gloom began to cast a
veil over the face of the sun.
Then John told them Of his oil
we'll; of the purpose of his visit !;
of how he meant to raise the
mortgage. The old couple hung
on his words in breathless sns-
pense. Then the good, patient
mother fell to weeping, silently.
The old man brushed a tear from
his eye,and with trembling hands
took down from the high maptIe
the old and worn Bible. He read
BLESS the Lord oh my soul, and
forget not all His benefits"
After the reading the little
group knelt around the fireside
and an eloquent prayer was of.

COlumbia's Missing Boy Found
Dead

The body OF Stephen Howell.
the young boy who disappeared
from his home in Column bia
about three days before Christ
mas was found Tuesday after
noon lying in small branch on
the Suber place, three miles
from the city. The head was al.
most severed from the body and
horribly niutilated. The pockets
of his clothes we're turned, show.
ing that tho m motivc for tho bloody
deed was robbery. The missing
axe that has been tho bass for
the belief Of foul play Was found
n few feet from the body. Tho
coroner WaS summoned Immo
diately and held an inquest at
which the boys fSther positively
identified the body as being that
OIL MS son.
On the day on which Howell
was last seen alive he was sent
with = strange negro into the
woods for the purpose of gather
ing evsrgreens for Christmas de-
corations. The negro returned
and received the money for his
services and when questioned by
Hovell's mother, he said the boy
had left him at the dinner hour.
At the time thsre was no suspi.
ciOn of crime and the negro was
allowed to leave. Since then
nothing has been heard Of him
The body was partly eaten by

THE PRICE WE PAY FOR
CHARACTER BUILDING.
Superintendent Thinks Teachers
Pay Should be Doubled.
The State.

The New York, Chicago and
Boston School Journal thinks
that Zone of the ablest sections
of The admirable annual report
OF %upt. E.S. .Dreher of Columbia,
S. o." is that taking up the
question of teachers salaries.
That section of Mr.. Dreher's re-
port says :
mo efficient teacher will ever
receive in this world a just com
pen-ation for her labors. Her
services to the community cannot
be reckoned in dollars and cents
No one can estimate the value Of
character and intelligence; NOR
aliiY and brains are priceless
For this reason teachers should
be well paid for their work our
schedule of salaries should be
higher than at present.
After anxiously awaiting for
years an increase of salaries, the
announcement by the school board
that the maximum salary of a
grade teacher would hereafter be
$405, instead of $3.50, as hereto
tore, was most welcome news to
our teachers. Although this is q
gratifying increase, and is much
appreciated by the teachers, a
short example in division will
show that q teacher that receives
salary of $405 per annum has
per diem income of only 81 II. =.
This is what we pay our teachers
for character building; ignorant
lshorers who dig dirt on the
streets of Colum bia receive al
most as much, while plumbers,
hricklayers AMI carpenters earn
at least twice as much.
Our people do not yet seem
fully able to appreciate the fact
that the schoolroom controls the
destiny of our country ; when
th"r do, our teachers will be paid
salaries somewhat commensurate
with the importance of their work
That we, here in Columbia, have
made start in this direction is
encouraging; but a stop, however,
should not be made until the
maximum salary of a grade teach
er shall be $50 month for -
months in the year. The highesl
salary commands the best talent;
the best is the cheapest" @
