County Trustees Association

few weeks ago over one hundred
of the trustees of the schools of Lau-
rens County met in the court house
and perfected an organization 10 be
known as The Trustee Association
of the Schools of Laurens County,"
No organization should be brought in
to eXistance without a definite work
in view. That work should have as
its goal the rendering of the greatest
assistance" to the greatest number
of individuals in the community in
which it operates. The object of the
Trustee association of the Schools of
Laurens county is to furnish to every
child in the county the opportunity of
attaining a first class High school ed
ucation. Having received the High
school training, it will not be such a
difficult matter to go through college
If he so desires. Better prepared teach.
erS, longer term and more comforta-
Bile school houses are some Of the
more important things we need. very
trustee in Laurens county is mem
ber of this association whether he
wants to be or not. We want to ac-
quaint you Mr.. Trustee with your du-
ties to your teacher, patrons and
school in general.
This association should bring the
trustees of the county in closer touch
with each other. BY so doing we
should be Of great help to each other.
Let every trustee pledge himself to
make this association a great value
to all the schools in our territory
Our next meeting was TO be in June,
but Supt. Pitts suggested that as the
trustees were to be appointed in July,
1t would be better to have 1T in July.
Due notice will be given Of said meet
ing and we want every trustee in the
county to be present. Every school
| should add to, build new or renovate
their school building where it is need
ed. Help can be obtained from State
and county to do this work If school
will raise $4,000 the State will give
$4,000 and the county will give $4,000
| The maximum amount given by State
and county is 100000 provided the
school district will raise an equal
amount. This is most excellent
chance to improve that old delapidated
out-of-date building Of yours. So Mr.
! Trustee see Supt. Pitts at once about
this mater. This is one of your many
duties. Do not put off electing your
teachers for another year until 80 days
before your school is to open. Now is
the time. before your teachers leave
tell them you want them, If you do (?)
If you do not, just keep your mouths
shut, unless they ask you. Pay your
teacher decent salary and you will
get a better teacher. Remember yor
can't get teacher now at the salary
you paid 20 years ago. Pay better
salaries and demand better services
Let the trustees of Laurens county
awake to their opportunities and w,
will have better conditions alont
school lines at very early date.
; Respectfully,
w. Carl Wharton,
Pres. Trustee Association.

MIR. FEATMERsTONE's CANDIDACY.

Itlcnafu j. Manning or sumter to enter
the race this year for the governorship
has been the occasion of very general
comment by the various newspapers
of the State The chief significance Of
Mr.. Manning's withdrawal, as reflected
i'm many editorial expressions. and in
the opinion of numbers Of public and
private citizens who are familiar with
tic situation. lies iii the fact ihat il
practically assures the election of Mr.
Featherstone.
However, whatever bearing the
changed political alignments may have
upon the race, Mr.. Featherstone is
both from the standpoint of a prohi-
btionist. and business man of large
experience.
Commenting on the gubernatorial
race with reference TO the situation as
brought about by Mr. Manning's deCi-
sion the Columbia Record says:
From the present situation it ap-
pears that the race for governor will
open up with Mr. Featherstone appeal
ing most strongly to the prohibition
vote, by reason of his long advocacy
of that policy, and to the conservative,
business element by reason of his
ability as a lawyer and business man"
And in this connection the following
extract from an editorial article ap-
pearing in The Advertiser several
months ago relative to Mr.. Feather
stone as business man" and his con-
sistent efforts in behalf of prohibition
is reproduced:
Gle CHR. FeatherstOne) is a success
full and practical business man; is one
OF the strongest lawyers in the State;
he has had experience in the direction
Of large affairs; his reputation is un-
spotted; he has that best of balance
wheels, "a saving sense OF humor,
and he has common sense. He is no
halfway man in ANYTHING and, regard
less of his views on the liquor traffic,
he would administer the affairs Of the
commonwealth in a wise and successful
manner. We know Of no man who has
less of the fanatic in his temperament
and as governor his course would be
directed by the same broad-guaged
Judgment that would make him the
successful head of plantation, bank
or n railroad
"And again, Mr.. Featherstone has
done twice as much for the cause OF
prohibition as has any other living
man in South Carolina. When the pro-
hibition campaign of 1898 was about
to collapse Mr.. Featherstone seized its
fallen banner and the race he made for
governor was one of the most re-
markable In the recent history Of the
State. The people discovered then tina:
he was man Of power, and in spite
of the domination of tn estate dis
pensary he lacked only about three
thousand votes of defeating the late
Governor Ellerbe, who had also the
second-term sentiment in his favor. lr
1900 Mr. Featherstone eXerted himself
to the utmost to bring about the cleo
ton OF the late Col. James A. Hoyt
and during his whole career he has
been not only consistent but a work.
ing prohibitionist."

TO PREVENT LUN4CY
Head of State Commission IN
dOrses Grady amendment.

Concerning a bill introduced by Senator
Grady to amend the greater New York
charter in relation to the treatment of
public intoxication and inebriety and pro-
viding for the creation of d New York
City board Of inebriety. DR.. Albert Warren
Ferris. president of the State Commission in
Lunacy, said yesterday that he would vel
come any proper legislation 10 regulate in
ebriety and prevent its increase among the
citizens Of the state.
Next TO heredity, the Use of alcoholic
intoXicants is the most potent cause of in
sanity, and entirely avoidabe cause,
said DR.. Ferris. "RoSanoff has shown that
in the State OF New York 28.9 per cent of
the male patients owe their insanity 10
alcohol. In a study made by Superintend-
ent Mabon of Manhattan State Hospital
of Sol cases of insanity in which the caus-
alton was accurately obtained il was found
that alcohol alone was the cause Of mental
impairment in over 80 per cent of the men
and more than . per cent of the women.
1T is Obvious that the state, at least
large cities, must make special efforts TO
provide institutions for the treatment of
inebriety. which institutions may become
the centres for dissemination to families
of an alcoholic tendency, or OF especial
alcoholic susceptibility. Of the truths con-
corning the great dangers Of alcohol TO the
individual and to his descendants"

DROP IN ON STATION
JOLT FOR THE POLICE.
Commissioner Of accounts
Does Sleuthing for MAJOR.

One method employed nv, tho Mayor in
! his farreaching inquiry into the Police De
partment revealed Yesterday when
Raymond B. Fos1ck Commissioner of Ac-
counts ordered lineup of the three pla-
toons in the East S5th street station. and
after picking out Policeman John Grove
ordered him to appear before him for ex-
animation
1t developed that Commissioner Fosdick
had been spending several days investigat-
ing complaint that had been sent to the
Mayor about certain alleged actions of po-
licemen attached to that station Consider
able excitement was caused when news OF
the investigation leaked out. Captain
Patrick J. Cray a brother-in-law of
Charles T. Murphy, leader of Tammany
Hail. is in command of the East 35th street
station 1t was said. however that this
had no significance
II was learned late last night that
complaint of brutal assault upon
woman in a barber shop was made to
Mayor Gaynor some days ago The alleged
assault which was said to have been COM
mitted by a policeman. occurred on jan
uary = in a barber shop at First avenue
and saith street. 1t was the barber who
accompanied Commissioner Fosdick to the
station house. Grove is not charged with
L,
of it,
Mayor Gaynor instructed Commissioner
Baker TO respect any request that Commits
soner Fosdick might make to have certain
policemen appear before him for examina-
ton. More than a dozen men appeared in
this way But there was one man wanted
whose name Commissioner Fosdick did not
know. So he secured an order for the
lining up of the entire force under Captain
Cray. The greatest secrecy was observed.
Are there any newspaper men here?
asked Commissioner FOsdck. Assured that
there were none. the order for the lineup
was given and the Commissioner picked his
man. Scarcely had the Commissioner re
turned to his office than the newspaper men
were besiegng him 10 find out what it
was all about. He said that nothing could
be given out until his report was in the
hands of the Mayor to-day.
The Mayor said that the investigation
was merely one of many in connection with
his examination of the department. 1t is
understood that other complaints are being
investigated in similar manner.
A more exact account of Commissioner
Fosdfcks visit to the East S5th street sta
ton yesterday afternoon was learned last
evening. and it was stated that the name
of the officer summoned to the Commission
ers office was John Grove, who was ap-
pointed TO the force in June, 1908. His
name could not be learned at the time of
the visit. When seen last night in regard
to his visit to the Commissioners office Pa
trolman Grove declined TO make any state
ment.
After Commissioner Fosdick had asked
Captain Cray to send the patroiman to his
office he and Phelan and the citizen left
the station. Patrolman Grove started for
the Commissioner office later in the after
noon, and returned to the station at
o'clock going on duty at o'clock. Captain
Cray said he could throw light upon the
matter.
