EDUCATORS AT SALUDA.
Eight Hundred Persons Present at
Rally.-Addresses on the Needs
of the Schools Of the State.

Saluda, August 10.-The education
al rally for Saluda County was held
here to-day. Fully eight hundred
people we're present, the largest gath
ering by far to greet the educational
party now going through the State
Superintendent Sample presided,
having literally left bed of illness
to be present. The Rev. Z. De Loaeh
opened the exercises with prayer. I{he
best Of order prevailed, and never
were speakers given closer attention.
Scores of trustees and dozens OF
teachers we're in the audience and a
new spirit and interest in matters ed
ucational will undoubtedly result.
Mrs. W. L. Daniel urged the import
ane of better country schools as a
matter of life and death in this
State. In a most earnest manner she
pleaded for better buildings, better
equipment, better surroundings tor
the children in the homes and IN the
schools, longer terms, interior decora-
tions, libraries, asserting that the
best was none too good for the coun-
trv boys and girls. She pointed with
pride to the fact that Providence, one
Of the schools in this county, won
Hundred dollar prize IN the contest
for greatest improvement last year.
Prof. ". X. Tate was glad to talk
to country people, for he was born
and raised way ont in the country and
knew all about the advantages and
disadvantages Of country schools. lie
emphasized the necessity for super
vision Of the schools, pointing out that
often a turn in politics placed men un-
fit morally and educationally at the
heads of the county schools. Public
spiritedness in the community was
urged and petty quarrels and differ
ences deprecated. Cooperation was
the key to success.
Prof. Ira Williams gave most SEN
s;ble talk along the line OF the KIND
of education needed in the rural dis
tricts.
After a picnic and barbecue dinner
had been served, State superintendent
Of Education Swearingen was pre-
sented.
His talk was instructive, encour-
aging and inspiring. As a result OF
the rally here to-day, a number OF the
schools in the county have already
raised funds so as to share IN the ap-
preparation made for the common
schools under a recent Act Of the Leg
islature.
Several Of the trustees present
made speeches. all showing the Keen
est interest in the problems of lmprov-
ing the schools.
Messrs. B. B. Hare and F. E. Brad
ham made earnest addresses.

Ornamental Trees.

On OF the most important matters
In connection with home planting is
the selection of proper vsrietIes.and
positions for the setting OF ornamen-
tai trees There are many conditions
to consider. as future results must be
taken into account. and mistakes at
the time Of planting are disastrous.
To begin with. it should be under
stood that selections must be made
appropriate for the purpose in mind,
whether street planting, lawn decora-
ton. shade or screening, and IL varit-
les unsuitable for the situation are
planted the whole effect is ruined, and
would be better IL no planting is done.
The matter of distances Is probably
the most important consideration. and
some knowledge is required as TO the
spread of each variety after several
years growth. Crowdlng produces
stunted and abnormal growth, result
ing each year In little more unsatis-
factory appearance Of the grounds. un-
til the whole property is .tangle and
a thicket. and then comes 1.-THE neces-
sity OF thinning out, but even then

10 walks. or drives There should be
absolutely no need of thinning in or
der to give free passage along walk.
In doing 50 the form of a tree is often
ruined. Quick shape is not secured by
planting thickly, but by giving plenty
OF room to each specimen.
Great care should be used in setting
street and lawn trees Success is only
secured by doing the planting thor
oughly. The hole should be- made in
proportion TO the size Of the tree, but
at least three feet in diameter, and
eighteen inches deep. Fill In the bot

on top ram the soil firmly az Ii is
gradually filled in the soil cannot be
packed too hard Water thoroughly
after planting and Immediately mulch
with eight inches of manure, unless
the season is extremely dry, no further
attention is needed.
The pruning should be done AS de-
scribed in connection with fruit
trees-tirst, by trimming the roots and
shortening the top in order to es-
tablIsh an even balance, shortening all
the branches smoothly just above a
bud. Stalking is advisable. particular

DONE TO IMPRESS
THE BONDHOLDERS
Spain Asks Cuba to Pay Por:
ton Of National Debt.

Havana, June 14.-It was learned
here from an excellent authority that
the action of Spain in endeavoring to
induce Cuba to pay Cuba's proportion
OF the Spanish national debt results
from the following conditions:
During the negotiation of the treaty
Of Paris the Spanish commissioners
sndeavored to get the United States
to assume this obligation. This was
refused and Spain, in renouncing her
sovereignty over Cuba, did not spe-
officially abandon her monetary claim,
which was represented by bonds
largely in the hands of French hold
ers. The vitality of this claim ex-
pired ten years after the signing of
the treaty. Hence Spain, for the sake
of French bondholders, in 1908 in.
structed Gaytan de Ayala, her minis
ter here, to renew negotiations for
the payment of the debt Spain had
no serious expectations that this in
debtedness would be cancelled, but
her purpose was to impress the bond
holders with her firm intention not tC
abandon the claim and to renew it.
vitality for an additional ten years.
The intimations that Senior de
Ayala's recall was due to his failure
to press this claim energetically are
being reiterated. 1t is asserted also
that to further impress the bondhold
ers the minister was relieved of his
duties, but the actual reason is de.
elared to have been his i'll health.
