MANY TEACHERS
ATTEND MEETING
County School Association
Met Last Saturday.
PROFITABLE SESSION.
Subject of Holding Teachers Summer
School Discussed. An Invitation
Extended and Accepted.

The County Teachers Association
held it's monthly meeting in the court
house Saturday morning, there being
in attendance about thirty members of
the Association. The meeting was pre-
sided oyer by President Rice, of Lam
ford. In the absence of Miss Hudgens,
the secretary, Miss Ella Bell Copeland
was requested by the president to act
in this capacity.
Those presenting papers and partici-
pating in the discussion of the different
topics before the Association were Miss
Emma Dial, Supt. Dobson, Prof w. c.
Duncan, Miss Ella Copeland, Prof. j.
G. Anderson, Miss Pearl Blakely, Prof.
John d. Hunter and President Rice.
The question of holding summer
school for teachers was brought up, and
it was the sentiment of the Association
that district or county school should
be held this summer. A small appro-
priation has been made for holding
schools in each county, but it is recog-
nlzed that district school including
several counties would be more profit
able. With the view of ascertaining
the attitude of adjoining counties in the
matter, Supt. Nash was requested to
communicate with the county superin-
tendents Of education of Greenwood
Ahbeville, Newberry and Edgefeld, ex-
pressing to each the sentiment of tho
Laurens teachers. In the event of tho
failure to arrange district summer
school, four weeks session will ho
held by Laurens county some time dur
ing the coming summer.
The Association accepted an invita-
ton to be the guests of the Laurens
city school faculty on the occasion Of
its next meeting, Saturday, May 2.
At the conclusion of the session the
Association was entertained at dinner
at Gray's Hotel by the Laurcns County
Board Of Education.

SENATOR GARY A BUSY MAN.
Absence of Senator TilIman Leaves all
interests In His Hands.

The Washington correspondent of
the Spartanburg Herald says of Sena-
tor Gary's.new duties and responsible
ties:
Senator Gary is having his hands
full just now with task such as has
not fallen to the lot of any Senator
from South Carolina, and perhaps from
any other State, since the early days
of the national government. With less
than two weeks of actual service in the
Senate, he is left with the interests of
the State in that body entirely in his
charge, Senator Tillmans illness hav-
ing necessitated his absence from the
Senate and his refraining from atten-
ton to work.
Senator Gary, however, is not afraid
of work, and has been doing a consider
able share of it in the past few weeks.
He has not adopted the tactics of the
erratic Senator from Arkansas, jeff
Davis, who came much heralded to
Washington, butted in and made a
speech upon subject which was not
before the Senate in any sense of the
word, vanished and has not been in his
seat since. Senator Gary has not made
any great speeches, nor has he tried to
overturn the Senate or to defy that
strange but powerful influence which
is generally known as Senatorial cour-
tesy. He is keeping his eyes and ears
open and his mouth closed, so far as
hot air. is concerned, and is taking
care of the States interests in the Sen
| ate in most creditable way"

That languid. lifeless feeling that
comes with spring and early summer
can be quickly changed to feeling of
buoyancy and energy by the judicious
use of DR.. Shoop's Restorative. The
Restorative is genuine tonic to tired,
rundown nerves, and but few doses
is needed to satisfy the user that DR..
Shoops Restorative is actually reach
ing that tired spot. The indoor life of
winter nearly always leads to sluggish
bowels and to sluggish circulation in
general. The customary lack of exer-
else and outdoor air ties up the liver,
stagnates the kidneys, and ofttimes
weakens the hearts action. Use DR..
Shoop's Restorative a few weeks and
all will be changed. A few days test
will tell you that you are using the right
remedy. You will easily and surely note
tho change from day to day. Sold by

SHAH ESCAPES DEATH.

30 AssAssins.

Teheran, Persia. Feb. 23.-An at
tempt was made in this city to assas-
sinate the shah of Persia by a bomb
His majesty was not hurt. Three OF
the outriders who were accompanying
him at the time were killed.
The shah owes his escape to the
precautions taken to protect him from
Just, such an attempt as was made.
He was on his way to a nearby town
where he intended to pass few days
The procession had left the palace
and was traversing narrow street
when two bombs were hurled down at
1t from the roof OF house. One ex-
ploded in the air, but the other struck
the ground near the shah's automo-
bile. This missile, in exploding, killed
the three outriders, wounded the
chauffeur and a score Of bystanders
and shattered the vehicle. The shah,
however, was not in his automobile
He had taken the precaution to send
the motor car on ahead and ride him

Of t!.e procession. The motor car
was a closed one and it was thought
that the sovereign was inside.

HERO OF ANGUS POE g !.
elm Bludsoe" of the Upper Missls-
sipp Dead.


The remains of John Jones, famous
as the "Jim Bludsoe" Of the upper
Mississippi river have been laid
to rest at Dakota, Winona county.
Jones experience was so much
similar to that of the hero Of John
Hays famous poem that many believe
he was the inspiration of it. Jones
was pilot of the ferryboat Warsaw,
which transferred passengers from La
Crosse to the Minnesota side of the
river in the period just after the Civil
war. About forty years ago the War
saw caught fire while in the middle
of the channel, with several hundred
passengers aboard, but Jones headed
the steamer for an ISLAND in the con
ter Of the river and in the words OF
the poem, "held her nozzle against
the bank until the last galoot was
ashore He was then obliged tc
make his own way to land through
the burning boat. Although he re-
ceived serious injuries he survived
and died of old age.
