DR. PHILLIPS TALKS
 AT SUMMER SCHOOL
Superintendent of Birmingham School! Is Greeted By Large Crowd at
 University.

University, July 2.-(Special)-A large audience greeted Dr. J. H. Phil of Birmingham, at his first appearance this morning for a series of lectures be- fore the Summer school. This is the third summer that he has been on the lecture force, and he has never failed to draw large crowds-a sure evidence of his abil- ty and popularity.
 pr. Phillips took as his subject this morning Essentials of Methods in Ele- mentary Education.'' He said that the value of methods depends on the power to apply that method. What the teacher needs Is method that will work. The real fundamentals are always simple, but the teacher in studying school methods 's looking for something abstract. When we study the essentials of methods we find that they are not difficult of applca- tion. The objects of the school are to develop the power of CD getting thought, and @ giving thought. There only four primary forms of thought expression; l. The objective; 2. The representative; 3. The oral; and 1. The symbolic. The ob- Ject, the picture, the spoken word, and the written or printed form constitute the four great languages in which the chief must acquire skill and fiuency. There are several stages of development in the use of these forms: 1. The initiative stage; ?. The stage of translation, or as it is sometimes called, reproduction; and 3. The stage of invention, or the power of original combination. Dr. Phillips then applied these principles of method to the subjects of reading, arithmetic lang uage. geography and history, clearly demonstrating that these primary princi- pies are applicable throughout the field of elementary education.
 On Tuesday morning at 10:30, Dr. Phil lips will deliver his lecture on Hygiene" |" with especial reference to the prevention of tuberculosis fin the school room and at in the afternoon. under the tent he will lecture on Ethics in the Elementary School'
 At S:30 Tuesday night, Dr. w. B. Saffod will deliver an illustrated lecture on Ancient Rome" The lecture should be very interesting. for Dr. Saffold has him. self been over the ground There will be no admission charged any one.

Clerks Duty Ceases.

"It cannot be doubted, we think. and indeed 1t is quite obvious, that the clerk g official connection with the original jour nal-except the duty of copying it for the printer-ceases upon his delivering it to the secretary of state for safe keeping after 1t has been signed by the speaker and himself. From and after that time he has no custody of it, no control over if no sight to its possession except for the specific purpose above referred to, no power to alter 1t nor to prevent others from altering it, and is under no duty to keep 1t safely or to preserve It from mutilation or intepolation.'
 "The fact that the statute permits the clerk to keep the record forty days after adjournment before deposting 1t with the secretary of state. shows that the legis- lature recognized the impossibility of his completing 1t before adJournment,' and the necessity for his completing 1t after adjournment.
 q am of the opinion that the entry re- ferred to above is a part Of the house journal and that the act was cOnstitu- tionally passed. so far as the point above discussed is concerned
 .,rhe writer has personal knowledge of the practice with reference to the making mn of the journal of the house for the past sixteen years. and knows that the proceedngs of the last few days of every session for that length of time have been entered in the official record by the clerk of the house-transcribed from his manu script. which the court has held Is not the journal-after final adjournment If he had no authority to do this hundreds of important statutes, which have been acted upon and supposed to be the law. were never constitutionaily enacted.

EXCURSION TO CHARLESTON.

Col. S. II. Cohen, the well known
travelling representative Of the Charles
ton Consolidated Railway company was
in Yorkville last Tuesday advertising
a big excursion to be run from this
section on next Tuesday.
The excursion is to be under the
auspices of the Jr. o. U. A. NJ, OF Gas
tonia and is to take people from
Gastonia, Blacksburg, Yorkville, Rock
Hill, Lancaster and intermediate points
to Charleston. The eXcursionists will
leave Tuesday and will have the priv
ilege of returning on any Southern
train leaving Charleston before B
o'clock Thursday afternoon.
This excursion, Col. Cohen says, will
probably be the only one Of the kind
to be run from this section this season
and people who desire to avail them
selves of the pleasure Of a few days
on the prettiest and most delightful
beach on the Atlantic should not fail to
take advantage of 1t.
The train is to be under the personal
conduct of Col. r. w. Hunt division
passenger agent, of the Southern, as
sisted, by Colonel Cohen, and this Is
guarantee not only of the best of good
order, but of the comfort and pleasure
of everybody on board, especially OF
the ladies and children.

AFTER THE DOOR CLOSED.

Quite an embarrassing situation de-
veloped at TirZah last Wednesday
among the candidates for county COM
missioner because of the desire of a
new candidate to enter after the clos
ing of the doors.
The would-be new candidate is Mr..
w. ]. Poag of Rock HILL The rules OF
the party provide that the doors must
be closed at noon on the day preced-
ing the opening of the county cam
paign: but it has been the custom In
this county to leave the doors open un-
til the actual beginning of the first
campaign meeting. Mr.. Poag publish
ed his announcement on Tuesday and
came to TirZah with the understanding
that the old rule was still in force.
Chairman Brice. of the Democratic
executive committee, advised Mr. Poag
that the committee could do nothing
for him and that he could think of no
way out of the difficulty unless all the
other candidates for that particular Of
flee should agree to his entry in which
event it would probably be the con-
Germ of no one else.
The candidates held a meeting at the
request of Mr.. POag and all OF them
agreed that he might enter so far as
they were concerned, and the incident
was closed with that understanding.
Executive committeeman, however,
hold that If Mr.. Poag should be elected

THE FIRST REeIMET.

AS indicated in the article published
| in this column last Tuesday, all the
stories that are coming from Chlcka-
mauga about the First regiment con-
tinue to be Of a most complimentary
character.
The other two South Carolina regi-
ments although up to the standard OF
different other southern states, were
more or less contemptuously looked up
on by the regulars as the rawest KIND
of raw militia but in the case OF the
First II Is different The regulars
seem to be willing to concede that the
First comes very near being made OF
sure enough soldiers.
The correspondent of the News and
Courier, writing under date or Tues-
day has, among other things, the fol-
lowing:
1.-THE officers of this regiment are
pleased with Col. w. w. Lewis. They
realize that the right man has been
elected to command the regiment. Col.
Lewis is a first-rate military man. He
knows the theory of military DRILL out,
better STILL he possesses that 1orce ana
good Judgment which makes for good
officer. He showed these qualifications
10 a decided degree in the manoeuvres
this morning, when something more
than a mere drillmaster was required
to solve the problem given out by Brig.
Gen. Bubb for the South Carolina regl-
ment. AS a rule comparisons are val
ueless and meaningless and for that
reason there Is no use trying to say
which Of the South Carolina regiments
is the best. They have all been praised.
The army officers will not allow them
selves to be interviewed, but, Indirect
| w. they have never denied that South
Carolina has sent the men they would
rather command in the field. Today
Cen. Bubb showed his interest In the
First South Carolina by coming out
early during the morning and spending
almost the entire day with Col. Lewis
in command"
The correspondent Of the State writ
ing under the same date, puts the ST.
uation like this:
1T has become a tacitly admitted
fact that the First South Carolina Is
the best regiment in the camp, both
as to discipline and excellence in drills.
Col. Lewis has made a fine impress
sion and although the military people
of the regular army are tactfully silent
Il Is evident to an observer that he Is
held in high opinion by them. Gen.
Bubb was a witness to the exercises OF
the afternoon and spent most Of his time
watching this regiment, in the normal
attack" this morning during the man
oeuvers Col. Lewis evolved pretty
plan of battle for a small attacking
force which was finely executed by the
entire regiment 1t was assumed that
the enemy was entrenched on Snod-
grass Hill, near the base Of the South
Carolina monument. The South Caro-

lima regiment formed in battalions for
the attack, which commenced toward
the center of the large Dyer field.
Major Moore with the second battalion
occupied the center of the line and
made the attack upon the crest OF the
hill. He was supported on his right
by Major Blythe with the first and on
his left by Major Brock with the third
battalion, each Of them so disposed as
to prevent an attack from the fisnks
and yet be able to close In toward the
center finally and take part In the
charge for the breastworks. 1t was
most interesting to watch the long, thin
skirmish lines as they advanced In
rushes and then fall face forward In
the long grass and pound volley after
yolley into the imaginary enemy and
at last, after a few minutes OF rapid
fire, charge at run over the works
yelling like Indians"
Capt. ]. r. Lindsay has been serving
as sanitary officer Of the camp and
his work has been highly commended.
The regiment has been exercised In
outpost duty during the past two days
and a sham battle was the programme
for today.
The understanding Is that the regi-
ment will break camp tomorrow morn
ing and the boys will probably arrive
home during Sunday.

In mentioning a number Of reasons
why Tirzah is entitled to be considered
historic the other day, Mr.. w. n.
Stewart seemed to forget that 1t was
from there he once started out as
prohibition candidate for the senate.
But since we come to think Of 1t that
is a circumstance that Mr.. Stewart can
very we'll afford to forget.
Up to almost the last moment 1t
looked as If the dispensary party In
this county would be unable to COM
plete its ticket. Messrs. Epps and
Glasscock had been previously an
nounced; but there were still two va
cancies AS the result Of caucus last
Tuesday, Messrs. ]. B. Neil and w. L.
Slaughter were induced to come into
the field for the purpose Of filling up
the ticket.
Because il is a southern classic, and
because Of its peculiar merit as a
master piece painting Of a certain phase
of human nature, we reproduce on the
first page of today's issue The Fight"
from Judge Longstreet's famous Geor-
gia Scenes. Many of the best read old
er people have almost memorized
Georgia Scenes, and the book is still
frequently quoted in current literature;
but the average reader Of this section
seldom has access to II nowadays,
and for that reason 1t is our purpose to
reproduce from time to time a few OF
the most interesting installments. No
one who enjoys really high class hu-
man nature story will fail to read this
one carefully from beginning to end.
There is reason for considerable re-
gret that Mr.. John l. Rainey did not
see fit to offer for reelection as a
member of the board Of county COM
missioners. A man of large affairs,
good business ability and high patriot
ism, Mr.. Rainey was on the board only
for what good he could do. The sal
ary amounted to nothing to him, and
he had no idea of trying to further his
own interest. Hundreds of people
throughout the county would have
been glad to see him continue In the
office which he could have very easily
done had he been willing to go before
the peope. But after all, 1t must be
confessed that Mr.. Rainey has fully
discharged every obligation that de-
wolves upon him as a citizen, and he Is
not a just subject Of reproach for de-
string to retire.
