Elegant Luncheon Served Teach
ers by Woman's Christian
Temperance Union.

The most important, and by far
the most delightful feature of the
ingathering of Edgefeld county
teacherers last Saturday was the re-
ception rendered them at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Julian L. Minis by
the local Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union. This function had
been given large prominence before
hand, announcements having been
put in both papers and personal in
vitations having been issued by the
entertainment committee, but the
elaborateness with which it was car
ried out surpassed the expectation
of the most imaginative of the
guests. The heartiness of greeting,
the warmth of cordiality, the large
ness of hospitality testified eloquent
ly to the strength of supportac-
corded by the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union to the teachers

for the fight yet to come before the
last Battle of the Bottle'' shall
have been won.
If any guest was turned thither
by the unholy love of "loaves and
fishes" it is a more than reasonably
safe wager that such an one was
more than adequately compensated.
The luncheon served was quite
elaborate and only the fear that
dwelling on it would place the en-
phasis on what the committee did
not intend to be the principal feat
ure of the exercises, prevents a
more extended notice of it. 1t must
be said however that a happier com

Solves a Deep Mystery.

II want to thank you from the

RAIDER, of Lewisburg, w. Va, for
the wonderful double benefit I got
from Electric Bitters, in curing me
of both a severe case of stomach
trouble and Of rheumatism, from
which / had been an almost help
less sufferer for ten years. 1t suited
my case as though made just for

bination of daintiness and abun.
dance, simplicity and bountiful va.
riety could not have been provided,
and the teachers were unanimous
and hearty in the expressions of ap'
probation.
When the guests assembled at
the tables Rev. Royal Shannon
house in behalf of the reception
committee gave expression to the
welcome rendered and in apt and
hearty vein commented on the cor.
dial sympathy and appreciative un.
derstanding and cooperation that
should be and is maintained be-
tween the members of this great
temperance organization and the
teachers of the county.
Col. Bailey responded to the ad'
dress of welcome and bespoke the
appreciation Of the assembled guests
pledging then. TO still greater efforts
in the dissemination of truth about
narcotics and intoxicants.
The Importance of temperance. in
struction in the schools was dis
cussed forcefully and >eloquently by
DR.. G. E. Burts, who alsospoke OF
the fact that the laws of every state
in the union require this teaching
as we'll as the laws of England and
Germany.
Urging the value of essay con-
tests in school work, Prof. P. P.
Burns made the points that only the
essay provided clear and accurate
statement of the evils of intemper'
ance and narcotics and logical
reasoning on the benefits of absti-
nence; that the interest aroused in
such a contest leads to further In
vestigation outside, and stirs up
corresponding interest IN the homes
of the community; and, that it is in
line with two of the Oldest axioms
of pedagogy: Learning without
thought is labor lost" instruction
must be after all largely Line upon
line, precept upon precept."
| Rev. T. P. Burguess in an un-
announced toast to the official head
of the educational forces in the
county discoursed with peculiar
aptness, neatness of application on
the first mighty fat, Let there be
light" The dignity and duty of the
profession in providing centres of
light in dark places was strongly
put and most cordially received.
The last of the after dinner speak.
ers was former Governor John g.
Sheppard. On speaking to the toast
''The teacher" he stressed particu-
larlythe serious and momentously
important feature of moral instruc.
ton in the schools. Athletics and
study are not sufficient in the train,
ing of men and women, for to put
all the emphasis on these two ele.
ments is inevitably to train a crimi
nal constituency. Instead, all .oul
teaching should be along parallel
lines, ,fthat in the full grown man
and woman there may be the proper,
harmonious, and perfect correlation
and ordination of functions ~ and 2 %
powers.
Cornst and piano music by Rev.
p. p: Blalock, Mrs. Tillman and
Mrs. Entzminger added zest to the
OCCASION. Each teacher on leaving
carried as souvenir some helpful
and instructive literature to add te
the effectiveness of temperance
teaching. \
