Pleasant Day at St. Johns.

One of the most enjoyable picnics
of the season was that given by the
St. Johns Sunday school last Thurs
day, the 23rd. The busy farmers and
housewives left their cares at home
and went expecting day of rest and
enjoyment, and they fully realized
their expectations when the day was
spent.
At II o'clock the exercises were
begun by the choir singing, LET the
Blessed Sunlight In" Then followed
another hymn and devotional. exer-
cises by the superintendent, after
which Mr.. Boyce Bishop, Sunday
school scholar, delivered the welcome
address, which did credit to one of
his age. q
Rev. D. B. Grosclose, next gave US
a talk on "How to Enjoy the Social
Features Of a Picnic" In this talk
he advised us to leave all ili-feeling
toward our friends and neighbors at
, home and go to the picnic with the
sole purpose of having a pleasant
day. He advised US, too, not to criti-
'cize the dress and appearance of our
friends at the picnic which was, no
doubt, very timely advice.
Our field secretary, Mr.. J. D.
Moore, then told what the Sun
day school is doing for our
country to-day. From his talk We
learned of the men who are now
prominent in Sunday school work,
and he also endeavored to give us an
idea of what our land would be with
out the Sunday school.
The choir now sang the beautiful
hymn, after All Eternity" after
which followed the benediction by
Rev. D. B. Groseclose.
After the exercises dinner was
served on the grounds. And such =
feast of good things! It's sure no
one went away from the table feeling
hungry. Delicious ice-lemonade was
also served.
All went away voting the picnic
a success. There was but one regret
felt-the absence of Rev. A. B. Wat
son, who was to have delivered an
address on this occasion.

s. B. Wright Improving.

Honea Path, June 21.-The con-.
dition of Mr.. S. B. Wright, who was
shot sometime ago by his wife, con-
tinues to improve and it seems now
that he will recover. He has been,
removed to the home Of his sister
and all symptoms are favorable. Mrs.
Wright is at the home of her sister
and is under bond pending the result
of the wound. There are differences
of opinion here as to her mental con-
dition at the time of the shooting. !,
It will be recalled that about three
weeks ago as Wright has getting
ready to go to a funeral at Barker'ss
Creek church she became enraged be-
cause he did not want her to go and
fired at him, the bullet taking effect
in his breast and penetrating alarms:
ingly near the heart. 1t was thought
for several days that the wound
would prove fatal<b but it now seems.
that he will get wefl.
The shooting caused a good deal OF
excitement and comment at the time
and various theories as to the cause
were advanced. 1t seems that they
had had some words the day before
and Wright's refusal to permit her to
attend the funeral precipitated the
quarrel. Mr.. Wright Is a farmer and
livees about four miles from town.

District Summer School.

The teacher-students of the sum-
mer school are having quite pleas
ant time, mingling with other CO.
laborers, studying CD and learning
the various ideas of other teachers.
The faculty is a very thorough and
instructive corps, rendering every SER
vice to our improvement and pleas
ure.
We were loathe to give up one
member of the faculty on Friday,
Prof. Hadden, Of Clemson College,
who has been giving us a series of
lectures on agriculture. Some time
we wonder just after his lectures if
we are farmers or school marms.
Another teacher will take his place
on some other prevailing subject.
There are about seventy-five teach
er-students here, all ladies except
three; and suffice it to say those
three gentlemen look lonely. The
different homes in which we board
offer us every pleasure and comfort
that we can enjoy, and in every
sphere we find the folks Of Aiken one
of big hearts ready to assist 1.-The
teachers"
At the various churches we are
royalty welcomed, and it was your
humble scribe's pleasure to visit the
Methodist church on Sunday where
we heard an eloquent sermon by Rev.
J. B. Traywick, formerly of Den
mark. who is pastor here of the
Methodist church, and like him of
old, is a loved father of his flock.
On Friday afternoon, the Ladies'
Aid Society of the Methodist church,
were "at home" to the teachers and
faculty at the home of Mrs. Woods,
on Park avenue. Mrs. Woods was
ably assisted in entertaining the
guests by Mesdames Heath, Murray,
Kennedy, Eubanks, and Misses
Dyches, Gardiner, Hill, Milestone
and Kennedy served the courses of
refreshments.
The beautiful home was one of
merriment, and the daisy was the
prevailing flower, each guest being
given a souvenir of daises tied with
white ribbon.
Various parts Of the State are
represented; we find that the district
is not at all confined to the three
counties but nearly all over the State.
There are only two or three from
Bamberg.
One of the most interesting and in
structive courses here is the excel
lent lectures. We have two and
three a week. tuberculosis has been
discussed and stereopticon illustra-
tions shown to such an extent and in
such an impressive and instructive
manner that I feel we all ought to
gladly join the white plague fight.
A lecture on hookworm with stereop-
ticon illustrations will be presented
on Tuesday night the 2Sth, at the
court house. These lectures are at
tended by the folks of the city and
seem to be enjoyed very much by
those who are not teachers, and suf-
fee it to say we all drink in every
word.

When 1t Is Explained There
Is Little Opposition,
He Says.
HOW IT WILL HELP
HOW IT WILL HELP
Urges Every Fafnaiiesri in State
to Raise His Voice in
Support of Proposition. {

The following letter has been sent
to the University Misspnrian by s.
NJ. Jordan. The Corn Man. who
has tEaYeled extensively over the
state and has talked with people in
different sections regarding the pro
posed mill tax amendments
In my talks with men regarding the
mill tax for the University there
seems to be little opposition except
where the matter is not understood.
When it is explained that, it is not to
necessarily increase the amount of
money, to be used for the institution,
but that it puts the income on such
a basis that it will be-. known from
year to year the amount. of money
that can be depended upon. it com.
monty meets with favor.
Little objection can, be made when
it is made clear, for. any one must
know that a management can do bet
ter work when it is, known on what
it can depend than when it Is working
upon an uncertainty. To get the most
efficient work for the money expended
should be the aim of every voter, and
under the present. system the manage
ment must figure ON uncertainties. and
when such must be done it should be
evident to everyone that neither eff
Iciency, nor economy can be best OBJ
tanned. It certainly becomes clea,
that to support the tax is economy. g
"All business men and farmers Ger
tainly at this time have recognized
that the fertility. of our soil. is Soul
wealth also that the University OF
Missouri College of Agriculture is do
ing more than all other factors com
bined to teach the people how to best
tconserye that fertility, and a vote
against the tax is registering vott
against all the interests of our state.
Il would be glad to sea every farm
er in the state raise his voice in sup
port Of this proposition, that certainly
means much toward betterfng farm
life, and to make. it his business, Il
4see. that amendment number IL is, no
