COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
Excellent Address by Miss Mary T.
Nance-Eloquently Urges I'm
provement of the Rural
Schools.

The County Teachers Association
met in the new court house on Satur-
day. At this meeting the following
officers for the ensuing year were
elected: J. S. Wheeler, PRESIDENT; r.
O. Counts, vice-president; Mis-
Mayme Swittenberg, secretary.
The main feature Of the meeting on
Saturday was the address Of Miss
Mary T. Nance, president Of the
Rural School Improvement Assocla-
ton of South Carolina Miss Nance,
who is one Of the most enthusiastic
workers for the improvement of the
rural schools in this State spoke on
the influence Of these schools. She
made a most earnest plea for the i'm
provement Of the rural schools and
said that first Of all the school
should be made home and Chris
tian home, and if it is many Of the
homes will be modelled after it. At
ter the home is made it must be beau
tiful without and within. It also
should be a comfortable home and
clearly kept. In order to accomplish
best results Miss Nance insisted that
it was necessary to consolidate weak
er schools and to levy an additional
tax where the school term is short.
She insisted that until the school
term is heightened and a compulsory
attendance law is passed by the leg
islature it will be impossible to have
. successful school. The average
school term in South Carolina is only
four and a half months. The ad-
dress was very helpful to the teachers
present and it is hoped that they will
all return to their work with renewed
energy and determination to make
the school and home beautiful within
and without, attractive to the pupils
and neatly kept.
At the conclusion Of the address of
Miss Nance a County School Improve
ment Association was organized with
the following officers: Miss Sudie Mae
Boulware, president; Miss Ethel Dun
can, vice<president; Miss Helen Smith,
secretary; Miss Essie Pearson, treas
urer. Miss Elizabeth Dominick was
appointed organizer for the county.
Miss Dominiek will also represent the
association at the State convention
which meets in Columbia during the
holidays.
Misses Sudie Boulware and Isoline
Wyehe were elected delegates to the
teachers association which meets in
Columbia the latter part Of this
month.

JOE WILLIAMS HOUSE BURNED.
Sunday Night About Eleven O'clock
$1,000 Insurance on Huose, $500
On Furniture.

The alarm Of fire was turned III
Sunday night about ll.'0 O'Clock. 1t
was the dwelling occupied by Joe
Williams, who Lives just beyond the
incorporate limits on the steel bridge
road. He says that the fire originated
in the kitchen from the stove flue and
when it was discovered it was too
late to save any Of the furniture to
amount to anything, and that he and
his wife barely managed to get out
before the building fell in. They had
retired sometime before that.
The building was a two story frame
building and was erected and occu-
pied FOR many years by Mr.. P. N.
Livingston. Sometime ago the pro-
perty was bought by Thomas A. Will
liams, father Of Joe, and it has been
occupied by Joe Williams since that
time.
The building was probably worth
from $500 to $4,000 and Thomas Will
liams carried an insurance policy with
John Scott's agency for $1,000 on the
building. Joe Williams had policy
in the same agency on his furniture
for $500.
The fire department turned out but
as the building was beyond the city
limits the nearest hydrant was too
far away for the department to be OF
anv service as the hose would not
reach near enough.

BETTER EQUIPMENT NEEDED.
Mr.. Ackert Can Get Specifications II
Necessary-Travel Good.

Sometime ago the railroad commits
sioners directed a communication to
the management Of the Southern rail-
way calling attention to the poor
equipment on the Columbia and
Greenville division.
Mr.. Ackert, general manager, re-
piled stating that he would be glad
for the railroad commissioners to
specify, that so far as he knew the
schedule had been made promptly and
that they were as fast as it was prac-
tical tc have them for local trains,
being q out "a miles an hour lnclud-
inc stops. We think that the plea OF
the railroad commissioners is justified
and if they want specified instances
they might be referred to the pas
senger train for Greenville on Sun
dav. November %, when it was delay
ed for two hours at Chappells on at
count Of the failure of the. engine.
Again on November 9th the engine
gave out between Pomaria and Pros
perity and the morning train from Co.
lumbia was delayed nearly two hours.
The travel on this branch Of the
Southern railway justifies better
eouipment and if the railroad commits
sioners have authority 10 require 1t
Of the management they are justified
in doing so. All Of the trains on this
division, even from Newberry to 10
1umbia where the local business is
small, are usually crowded. We haze
understood, however, that it is the
purpose of the management to put on
larger enignes as soon as the roa ed
will justify it. That runor, however,
has been going around for more than
year and nothing yet has been done.

THANKSGIVING IN NEWBERRY.
Services at Central Methodist Church
Sermon by Rev. ]. E. James
The Orphans Remembered.

THANKSGIVING service was held IN
the Central Methodist church on last
Thursday morning. Rev. J. +. James,
pastor Of the First Presbyterian
church, preached the annual Thanks
giving sermon.
Rev. Mr.. James divided his sermon
into five topics. What we have to be
thankful for as individuals, as a city,
as a State, as aanstion, and as
church. He said that as individuals
we had more to be thankful for than
we could possibly mention in the time
allowed, peace, plenty, and prosper
ity had blessed most of the lives OF
our citizens: as a city we had made
noted progress, three new churches
had been built during the year since
our last annual Thanksgiving SER
vice was held, the beautiful new
court house had been built, many OF
the streets had been paved, and the
improvements of the city were to be
noted on every hand: as State we
had advanced along educational and
moral lines and there had been No
great disasters save the recent floods
but there were many causes Tor
thanksgiving; as nation we had had
no such disasters as had occurred Of
ten in past years, no yellow fever
scourge, no earthquake disaster, moth
ing of especial save the great North
western forest fires: and lastly as a
church we have been moving forward
and it is evident that the whole world
is becoming better, that the kingdom
Of Christ is advancing to the. ends OF
the world. Mr.. James said that he
was convinced that no political party
had much weight in turning the bal
ances in favor Of prosperity or adver-
sity. He said in his opinion had Bry-
an been elected president Of the Unit
ed States there would no more have
been a panic than the election of Taft
has restored business to its normal
conditions, but that it was plainly to
be seen that the Lord was behind ev-
erything. He is greater than any po-
litical party, and He and He alone
holds the prosperity Of nation or ma
tions in His own hands.
Mr.. James preached good, earn
est, thoughtful sermon and the con-
gregation was more convinced at It's
close that, there are indeed many
things to be grateful for.
A collection was taken at the close
Of the service for the benefit Of the
various orphanages. The orphanage
of the A. R. P. church received the
largest contribution. While the Of
fering was being taken Miss Ethel
Boozer delighted the congregation by
singing very sweetly ''Jesus Lover

To the Farmers and Ny Customers Of
my Territory:
We all must now realize that the off,
year is nearly a thing of the past.
Business interest in all Of its many
branches has suffered immensely
from too much politics and financial
disquietude, and with a sigh OF re-
lief We now look to the approaching
new year to make up for the short
comings experienced during this. AL
ready the horizon looks brighter than
it has been in the past months. TAX
ing into consideration the fact OF
short crops and low prices l feel 1t
my duty to make some reductions IN
my business; also hoping that my
customers will have in mind at this
season of the year being cash season
enables us to make some reductions
in price, especially on horse and mule
shoeing. I will give you first class
shoeing on plain work at 6o cents
round; half round IS. Thanking all
Of my patrons for the kindness and
support in advance,
Respectfully yours,
