Cleveland the governor said: MT. Pres ident, l have come a thousand miles to ask of you a favor, personal to myself and in behalf of dear friend When I was little boy a circus came to town one day. Barefooted and alone. l started out to the county seat to see the proees- sion. When l got there the town was full of people, the streets were crowded and everyone was smiling and cheerful because they were all going to see the wild animals. When I saw the parade and the laughing, happy, merry throngs, all bent on pleasure and fun, I began to cry because l realized that. having no money, I was the only one in that vast. crowd that was not going to the circus. While giving vent to my feelings a kind gentleman, with a smiling face, passed by, and seeing the tears rolling down my cheeks, stopped 10 inquire what was the matter. l told him that had .Kalked ten miles to see the parade fad no money, no friends, and that every other boy in town was going to see the circus but me. This kind, noble gentleman took me by the hand, went with me to the cir GUS, paid my way in, showed me the wild animals, bought peanuts and lemonade, and caused me to pass one of the most pleasant of my boyhood days. It is the son of this man that I ask you to ap- point as surveyor of the port at Louis- vile. and I have come a thousand miles to ask of you this favor" pause then ensued for a few moments, which was

 At the Dung Gate I encountered swar'ns of lepers who are not permitted to en- ter the city. A comfortable hospital has been built for these miserable wretches not far from the spring En Rogel' put many of them refuse to remain there, preferring to beg outside of the walls. They were by no means white, and the fact is that the leprosy of today is not the disease known by this name In Bible times. And he (Moses) put his hand into his bosom; and when he took 1t out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow Loathsome as is the disease, 1t is not contagious, and I have myself dned in a leper's hospital in Rio de Janeiro as the guest of the resident physician.

Proctor Knott and the Circus

From the Lebanon (Ky) Enterprise.
 When Grover Cleveland was elected President for the second time a gentle man from this city was a candidate un- der his administration for the position of surveyor of the port of the city of Louis- vile. Governor Knott was this man s friend and chief supporter for the posi- tion to which he aspired. When the time came for making the appointment so in terested was the governor in his friend S race that he went to Washingon to see the President and to personally make an appeal for his friend to be appointed. Accordingly arrangements were made and MT Knott went to the White House. On being admitted into the presence of MT.

TO the Rural Teachers and School
Trustees of South Carolina:
Through the generosity of the Pea
body Board Of Trust and the enter
or!Se OF Winthrop College, it has been
arranged to hold a Summer School
tof teachers at Winthrop College dur
ing the four weeks beginning June 81.
l3l1. The faculty is now being en-
Jaged and the courses arranged. In
few weeks complete circular OF
reformation may be obtained by re-
quest directed to Pres. ID. b. Johnson,
Ite'ck Hill. S. C.
Before the rural schools close, how
ever, | wish to direct the special at
tention Of the rural teachers and trus-
tees to the advantages Of the Summer
School.
Many Of the rural teachers of
Eys'aLh NdioIlu HdSe DeSn uenleQ the
privilege of college courses and pro-
tassional training for teaching In a
peculiar sense the Summer School for
Teachers Is the Normal College of the
country teacher. 1t is here only that
we have opportunity to come into liv-
Ing touch with educational principles
and methods, to exchange ideas, and
10 form the friendships which break
The professional isolation of the rural
teacher.
In addition to the usual courses in
The elementary and secondary sub
iects, the Summer School has arrang-
et to offer certain courses designed
especially to aid Tie rural teachers
Hmong these will be included the fol-
iuNing:
|. Special Problems of the Rural
School
.. Special Methods and Devices for
tho Rural Schools
3. Rural School Agriculture and
School Gardening.
4. Domestic Science for Rural School
s. Practical Manual Training for
Erral Schools
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1911-03-29

During the session there will be held
a Conference on Rural Life and a
Conference on County Superintend-
ents of Education.
The cost of board, including room
and light will be $500 for the whole
term four weeks; $500 a week for
time less than the whole session; and
$l.00 day for less than a week. A
matriculation fee of $500 to cover the
four weeks work will be charged.
Teachers should engage rooms at once
In my opinion a school district
d make no better investment than
to encourage in substantial way the
attendance of teachers of the sum
mer school. An increase in salary
for next year conditioned on attend
ance at the school would enable the
teacher to take the course without ex-
pense and would yield large returns
to the district in increased efficiency.

THE HIGH DEFEATED.

st. Paul Central had a practice
game last Saturday. The local high
school was the victim. At the end
of the trouble, St. Paul had counted
81, while River Falls had scored a
big o. But River Falls did not cry.
True, they lost, but they played a
hard, fierce game, just the same. st.
Paul knew that they had a game.
More men, greater endurance, rough
er play, and the mastery of the art
of illegal holding won the game for
the larger city and school. River
Falls kicked off, st. Paul was stopped
and forced to kick. For ten minutes
the ball see-sawed back and forth on
the field, then st. Paul got away for
long run and finally got the ball
over for a touchdown, but not until
River Falls had shown that they
could stone-wall, for st. Paul got the
ball on first down on the five yard
line and could not get it over. The
second quarter was a REPETITION of the
first, with River Falls gradually weak
ening. Once more during this quar-
ter st. Paul was held under the
shadow of the goal posts, and the
ball was kicked out of danger. But
just before the end of the quarter the
cityites got over for second touch
down, and the score was 10 to 0.
The third quarter was disastrous for
River Falls. and three times Central
scored. At that, they were once more
held for downs, just at the edge of
the goal This quarter made the
score 26 to nothing. In the last quar-
ter, River Falls came back desperate
ly, and three times held for downs
inside the five yard line and kicked
out of danger. But they could not
stand the strain, and after ten min
utes of play st. Paul scored again,
and then followed it quickly with an
other, and the end came with the
score 81 to 0.
River Falls played a hard game
against odds of weight, experience
numbers and rough play. and has
