The Teachers Meet.
Wright,
President.

The County Teachers association
met in the graded school building at
Prosperity on Saturday. The wealth
ar was very bad, but it was very gra-
tifying to see such large number Of
teachers and trustees present.
DR.. Z. B. Settler Of Newberry COL
lege made a very interesting talk o.:
English grammar. The subject c.
cussed was. 'The Parts of Speech. -
He said that all words may be in-
cluded in eight parts Of speech ex-
espt the words cit" and "where'
which are called expletives or filling
out particles. The articles may be
put in the class with adjectives. Dr..
Settler has consented to continue
these talks on English at each meej-
ing.
It is a sad fact that most Of our
boys and girls in school today know
so little about the English language.
They think that arithmetic is the
most important; so they devote near
ly all of their time to this study.
The teaching Of English grammar
should not begin in early schooldays,
but correct, English should be taught
to the child when ne is one year old,
and continue until he can speak it
well.
The subject Of fractions was dis
cussed by Prof. E. O. Counts Of Pros
perity.

DIR. Cromer's Address.

The following in regard to DR.. Geo.
B. Cromer's address before the Y. NJ.
C. A. in Spartanburg, on Saturday at
ternoon. is from the Spartanburg
Journal:
The seating capacity Of the Young
Mems Christian Association was tax
ed to the utmost Sunday afternoon.
II had been advertised that Hon
Geo. B. Cromer. Of Newberry. S. c..
would speak at the mems meeting
and the opportunity to hear DR.
Cromer was gladly welcomed BY
many.
The meeting was the most interest
inc one held in the !. NJ. {. A. hall
for a long time. After lively song
service Prof. J. G. Clinkscales, of
Wofford college, introduced the
speaker in a very pleasing manner.
"Money and Morals" was the sub
ject upon which DR.. Cromer spoke.
He said in part: The possession OF
position. wealth and morals is all that
some people think they need in this
life. The young man who is in high
position is not always satisfied, and
money doesn't bring him peace. He
is q discontented young man who de-
pends upon these things altogether.
Good morals will not save man.
Whit men today most need Is strong
Christian characters. It is faith IN
Jesus Christ that is needful.

The following Is from the Colum-
bia State Of January 20:
With manifest delight, a large aud
ience at the theatre last night ell
joyed all of the songs and quips OF
the musical comedy which was pre-
sented by a large company. There
was vim and dash and catchy music
and large and pretty choruses OF we'll
gowned women.
The house was not filled. The COM
pany deserved it and will get it to-
night, but last night played against
a largely attended celebration at the
university and another at the State
capitol.
Frank Deshon is a clever comedian,
but he was not the whole show by
any means. He is the master Of his
role and his songs as we'll as his COM
edy work were generously applauded,
but Miss Jewell Darrell also received
a great deal Of attention on her every
appearance. As "Tillie, the servant'
she is a distinct hit, and there is
something entirely new in her work.
The choruses are large, full voiced
and the costumes are in excellent
taste. The see-saw scene in the first
act was followed by storm of ap-
plause. Some of the song hits were,
"I'd Like Another Situation Just
Like That" "Life is a See-Saw, y
"Corsica," "Little Girl in Blue,
"Hang Out the Front Door Key, "
and "Whistle as You Walk Out. "
This show ranks with "Coming
Thro' the Rye and other big pro-
ductions.

MUSICAL GAYETY.
"A Knight for a Day. One Of the
FUNNIEST Plays Even Seen in
Greensboro.

The following IN regard 10 Il
Knight For 4 Day. which will be
presented in the opera house here on
the g. hin" OF January IS, is from
the Greensboro News OF January II:
"A Knight for a Day. the bill
rendered at the Grand last night: is
probably as good musical gayety as
was ever seen in Greensboro. The
play was greeted by good house
and for two hours and half there
were funny acts, causing slde~splt-
ting laughter. and scenes Of fair fem
ininitv that taxed the vison Of the
men Of the audience.
The women had their inning Tues
day night. Last night the men had
theirs. Annie Russell and 1.-THE
Stronger Sex appeal to refinement,
matrimony and morality. "a Knight
for a Day" is a play Of levity and
entertainment.
Frank Deshon. as Jonathan L. y,
and Miss Jewell Darrell, as Tilly
Day, are the star comedians and they
are there with the goods. Jonathan
joys sallies Of wit always brought
down the house, while Miss Tilly's
perplexities and misfortunes We're
equally as funny.
Tilly Day is a servant girl at the
Evanston Seminary for young wo-
men, while Jonathan Joy is a self-as-
s1med lawyer, who is actually a
waiter. In the light Of the moon
Jonathan attemps to steal Miss lilly
from a second story room Of the SEM
mary. In The first attempt he goes
to the wrong window and arouses the
chief instead of his fiance. In the
second attempt he succeeds, but is
caught while Miss Tilly goes back
for her powder puff. The play mainly
concerns the misadventures Of this
couple.
A picture of beauty is the scene in
the first act where a bevy Of girls
ride on a series Of see-saws with al
lights out except the red, Write and
blue lights on the see-saws.
Among the musical numbers thai
made special hits were duets, with {
full chorus, "Life Is See-Saw,'
"Garden of Dreams" and "Littlf
Girl in Blue.'
"a Knight for Day" is gay
and girly gleeglaw Of panticulal
charm. The play may be noted fol
its strong troop of we'll developed
chorus girls in their abbreviated cos
tunes, as we'll as for the comedy pro-
duced by Jonathan Joy and Miss Til
ly Day.

How His Constituents Feel.

Representative William S. Bonnet of New York. is rapidly learning just where he stands with his constituents For the purpose of acquiring that knowledge MT Bonnet recently had printed letter which he sent to the 6O,000 citizens in his district. The letter says:
 The Sixty-irst congress, to which have been elected, as your represen. tative from the Seventeenth congrs- sional district. has begun its first ses. sion. You doubtless will be interest. ed in measures which come before congress, and l shall always be glad ts hear from you concerning them. If there is any way in which, as your representative, l can be of service to you please consider me at your command at any time"
 The letter brought forth hundreds of responses, asking the representa-. tive to do all sorts of impossible things in the way of national legis- lation. There was one letter, how ever which was safe and sane. The writer used the same sheet of paper as that on which Mir Bonnet commu- nicated with him, and down in the corner he wrote:
 Come home. Bring all the other NJ. C.'s with you"
