MIR. oRAIo's WORK RNDoRsED.
"a Teacher Feels that He Has Done
Much for the Schools.

AS the time draws near when the
term of Office of the Superintendent
of Education expires, we wish to
express our thanks to Mr.. Craig for
the interest he has taken in the
schools and teachers of this county.
We heartily endorse the administra-
tion Of C. l.. Craig as efficient.
MIR. Craig, in his official capacity,
has done everything possible to adj
vance the best interests of the
schools and We bespeak the senti-
ment OF the majority Of the teachers
when we say we feel under lasting
obligations to him. Not alone has
Mr.. Craig discharged his official du-
ties faithfully and we'll, but he has
also stood to the backs OF the teach
ers, befriending us in our trials, for,
fellowworkers, you know our path
is not always flowery. Fault-finding
on the part of chronic critics of the
schools (for nearly all communities
have them) were never encouraged
by him, but he always tried to reason
with them, showing them the un-
pleasantness and disadvantage of
discord. Being him self teacher he
knows something CT the injustice
and ingratitude with which people
often regard us.
1t is with feeling of regret that
we think cf Mr.. Craig's going out of
office, though with not the least re-
Election on Mr.. Hughs, for we think
he will make an excellent Superin-
tenlent. We feel safe in saying that
Mr.. Craig has done his full duty as
Superintendent of Education, and
has put forth every effort for the
cause and advancement of the
schools in general.
With best wishes to him and his,

MRS. j. Nj. NEVILLE DEAD.
An Old and Greatly Loved Lady Has
Passed Away.
(Anderson Mail, 2Oth.)


Mrs. Jane M. Neville, widow Of the
late Rev. j. J. Neville, died at her
home on Manning street at 1 1 o'clock
last night, after an illness of several
weeks. She had been in a critical
condition for week and her death
was not unexpected.
Mrs. Neville was a Miss Sharpe,
and was born in Newberry in 1S41.
She moved to Anderson when about
I 8 years old and lived here with her
brother, the late Capt. w. S. Sharpe,
until her marriage in 1867 to Rev.
j. j. Neville. Mr.. Neville was q men,
Der Of the South Carolina Conference
and was stationed at different places
in the State until his retirement from
the ministry number of years ago.
They then lived for a while at Seneca,
but later moved to Anderson, and
had been living here ever since. Mr..
Neville died about a year ago.
There was never a more devoted
couple than Mr.. and Mrs. Neville.
They were never blessed with chill
dren, and their affections were law
ished solely on each other. Mrs. Ne
Vile was a splendid woman, and was
great help to her husband during
the long years Of his service in the
ministry. She was held in the high
est esteem by wide circle of
friends, and there will be the deepest
regret on account Of her death.

A LONG BALLOON TRIP.
From st. Louis, Mo-, TO Grove, Ga, In

west of Tiger, Ca, and shortly after
descending 1t was Debated and made
ready for shipment last night to St.

Arendall's cotton field, five miles
from the nearest railroad and tele-
graph station. Mr.. Lambert said he
planned making trip to New York,
but the balloon was driven South

Story of the Trip.
Tiger, Ga, Nov. 20.-Mr. Lambert
said: -
eve left st. Louis at 1915 D. m.
Wednesday. At Boyd, ind, we made
landing, stopping As minutes. We
then proceeded, but after going only
80 miles landed again and talked to
some people.
1--WE ascended again and stayed up
all night. We might not have re-
mained up during the night, but for
the fact that 1t appeared the wisest
thing to do, owing to the forest fires
beneath us. Smoke bothered us q
good deal, and at times was so dense
that we could not see the earth.
THE point where we landed is
about $50 miles from st. Louis and
our course was a semi-circle."

pared by some of the last summer
school teachers and members of the
County Board for the use OF the
teachers of the county in pursuing
their studies during the winter. 1t
is hoped the teachers will provide
themselves with text books suggested

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There Is only one way. to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the Eustachian
tube. When this tube is inflamed
>you have rumbliug sound or i'm
9berfect hearing, and when 1t is en-
'tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

says.
There is no sense in sending dele
gates who can not be trusted to
truly represent the State. and at the
same time exercise judgment. If
the sentiment be in favor of Bryan,
let the convention elect only those
who are known to favor Bryan, but
do not bind them hand and foot and
send them as mere baggage checked
to Mr.. Bryan. While favoring him.
circumstances may arise where the
delegates might deem it advi sable to
vote for some other man and they
should be free to exercise their
judgment.
The State says the Journal and
Review lis laboring under a misap-
p%rehension; it is not a question of
trust, it is q question of representa-
ton. If delegates are sent to Ma
tional conventions to speak for
themselves, act upon their judgment
and be responsible to none, then
they should be free to vote as they
please. But if they r going to
bear q message from the State Of
South Carolina to the other Demo-
Gratis of the country and to vote,
not for themselves, but for the ma
Jority of the Democrats of South
Carolina then the judgment Of
South Carolina should be binding.
If The Journal and Review will
consider for a moment it will con-
cede that delegates instructed to
vote for a certain candidate are not
'as mere baggage checked to" that
man, but are sent to discharge the
honorable duty Of representing their
State at the convention, and declar-
ing the expressed will of their peo-
pie as regards candidates for the
presidency. That is, in our judy
ment, a higher honor than represent
ing themselves, or exercising perso-
nal judgment. 1t is also more in
harmony with Democratic principles.
If a majority of the Democrats of
South Carolina advocated the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan as the standard
bearer of the party, South Cardinals
vote should be cast for him; the peo-
pie may be in error but it is Of first
consequence that their will, right or
wrong, be declared. If, on the
other hand, the people have no
choice, no preference, no favorite,
then they must rely upon the judg-
ment Of the delegation. The ques-
ton seems to us q very simple one
for Democrats to decide"

all insects are destructive Of vcge-
tation, and their relations to each
other and to birds are very complex
and puzzling. The insects that feed
on vegetation at some stage or other
OF their existence probably encounter
all others, both in number of species
and of individuals: but there are two
other classes of insects which deserve
attention here, the p%rcdaccOus nnd
the parasitic. The p~redaceous in
sects. either in the adult or larval
state, feed upon other insects and
hence in the main are beneficial. 1t
would seem, therefore, that in so far
as birds destroy p~redaccous insects
do them harm. That birds do de-
stroy a greater or less number can
not be denied, but as many species of
this group secrete nauseous fluids,
which serve, in a measure at least,
to protect them, and as many are Of
refining habits and not readily found,
the numbcr destroyed by birds is rel
atively not large. Moreover, some of
the p~redaceous insects, when insect
food is not available, become vegc-

of enemies of the farmer: so that
when birds destroy prcdaceous in
scots they may be doing the farmer
either a good turn or an i'll turn,
according TO circumstances.
The relation of birds to the so
called parasitic insects is still more
Intricate and puzzling. Parasitic In
scots fill Il very important place in
the economy OF nature: IL is even
claimed by entomologists that they
do more effective service in aiding to
keep true the balance in the insect
world thar any other gcncy They
attack insects in every stage Of en-
isencc and insure their destruction by
depoSiting eggs, on, or in, the bodies
Of adults, their larvae (thc worm or
caterpillar Stagc), their pupae, or
their eggs. Now, birds recognize no
fine distinctions in the insect world.
All is Srist that to the avian
mill, and parasitic insects arc snap
ped up by birds without the slightest
regard to the fact that they are use
full to man. Hence we have a compli-
Gated problem to unravcl in respect
TO The inerrelation Of insect pests, of
insect parasites that destroy them,
and Of birds that destroy both pest
and Their parasites.
