erary atmosphere on the one hand
but, with her courts crowded with
divorces, on the other. He said the
lives of teachers are reproduced
in the lives of the boys and girls
they teach and for that reason we
need men and women of character
as teachers. DR.. Dorsett said he did
not lay 80 much stress upon discip-
line but we need rather the right
sort of example and the right kind
of an atmosphere in the school
room.
Ex-Governor John C. Sheppard
Began his address by referring to
the current issue of Leslie's weekly
magazine as having been set apart
as Southern number, and deplor-
ed the fact that while it contained
a number of special articles by gov
ernors of Southern states and 9th.
ers setting forth the wonderful
progress and development of the
South along material lines not one
word had been said of the educa-
tional advancement. He referred to
his travels through the great states
of the north, east, central west and
west but declared the states of the
south with their vast areas of cot
ton, corn, iron and copper surpass-
ed them all. Mr.. Sheppard spoke
at length of the South's part in
laying the foundation for our gov
ernment, being represented by such
men as Marshall, Jefferson, Clay,
Washington, Henry and others.
After pointing to the South's
phenomenal development along ma
terial and educational lines, Mr..
Sheppard made a very earnest ap-
peal for the purity and supremacy
of the white race of the South. In
his closing remarks, Mr.. Sheppard
said, in substance, mo where else
do audiences present as good look
ing women as in South Carolina.

trained" He said Edgeield county
was behind many of the counties in
the matter of education but that this
movement will bring new enthusi-
asm. Speaking in his accustomed
vigorous and earnest manner, DIR.
Bell said much that was timely and
helpful in the brief time allotted
him.
The second speaker was Mr..
George w. Scott, graduate of the
S. G. G. /. and one Of the foremost
and most progressive citizens of the
Philippi-Long Branch section. Mr..
Scott said our people have neglect
ed opportunities along educational
ines lo1g enough and that it is
time for us to move forward. The
burden lies upon parents as to what
kind of schools we. shall have.
Where parents 60 down in their
pockets and pay out money, good
schools follow. Where only public
funds are used, poor attendance and
little interest generally. He urged
parents present to spend as much
money developing the minds Of
their children as they do in supply
ing their physical needs.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Scott's
very effective remarks. Mrs.>M. G.
Robertson, the principal of the
Trenton school, read paper that
she had been requested to prepare
at the last meeting of the teachers
association. The paper is published
in full in this issue.
Col. F. N. K. Bailey was next
presented, and. considering the
handicap of ten minutes time limit,

Senator B. r. Tillman.
Senator B. r. Tillman, the last
speaker of the forenoon, was next
presented. He expressed deep re-
gret beca use of his inability
to speak at length, being too weak
physically. Senator Tillman said:
Education has been a paramount
idea of my life. I have always
done all I could for education and
am here to-day to show my contin-
ued interest. You must have money

ers loyal support md cooperation.
PRO-. 6. :. Long.
Prof. g. Z. Long was the next
speaker. he said be has been teach
ing for % years ID this county and
has seen the terms of the public
schools grow from six weeks to
eight months cial tax being
levied to lengthen lhe term in some
districts. Prof. Long said we are
behind in the percentage of literacy
and that there is no good excuse for
it. The school oaieers and teachers
should not be censnred, the fault
being due to alack of interest on
the part of the masses of the people.
Along with our agricultural devel-
opment and Improvement we should
have educational Improvement. In
closing, Prof. Long urged the pa
irons to enlarge aud better equip
their school buildings, this summer
and when the session opens next
fall give the teachers every co-ope-
ration and encouragement. He said:
Ut will cost you something but ) ou
will be well repaid.
Dr ~ n Doraeft
DIR. w. s. Dorsett, pastor of the
Baptist church of Johnston, was
next presented. He rejoiced over
the fact that the South is coming
into its own, showing very marked
development along all lines. The
greadinterest that has beon awakened
in education should pe a cause for
special rejoicing. Tie speaker said,
in effect: Il am afraid our educa-
ton is too commercial, not putting
first things first. The tendency is
too much toward Increasing the
earning capacity to the neglect of
making manhood and womanhood.
1t is better to make th fright sort
of men and women ,sasl to make .
good engineer or pro- sssional man. :
In pointing out the lct' that we re-
ly too much upon intellectual train
ing, DR.. Dorsett referred to the
corrupt North citing conditions in
Massachusetts with her boasted lit

you. But I know you are
Edgefeld men and women,
who have been 80 kind to me-far
beyond my deserts. I love every
stone, every tree, man and woman
in the old county," Senator Till
mans closing remarks was pathetic
and increased the already existing
sympathy for him on account of his
physical disability. He feelingly
said: Il thank you for your kind
attention and bid you perhaps a
farewell" he was very c0rQlally
greeted by his numerous friends
when adjournment was taken.
Dinner and Drill.
The large audience was dismissed,
one hour for dinner. A free bar.
becue and picnic dinner was boun-
tifully served on long able out on
the campus. A half an hour after
dinner was spent in very pleasant
social intercourse, enabling the
teachers and pupils from different
parts of the county to meet and
mingle with each other. During
the interim between dinner and the
return to the auditorium for the af-
ternoon exercises, the S. G. G. 1.

travelling twenty miles and more,
Notwithstanding the very inclement
weather.
The meeting was presided over
by Mr.. w. w. Fuller, the county
superintendent of education, who
presented the speakers in most
becoming manner.
The first speaker of the forenoon
was DR.. d. A. J. Bell of Parks

he delivered one of the most effec-
tive speeches that he has ever de-
livered in Edgefeld. He made a
strong and very earnest appeal for
more generous and more loyal sup
port of the public schools. Col.
Bailey said he was no enemy Of the
colleges but that the vast majority
of the children of the masses never
have the opportunity of attending
college. He aptly and very truly
referred to the public school as the
&c college of the Masses" Said he:

Work of Foreign Missionary.

Sir William Ramsay declares that
the American missionaries have
constituted the only good influence
that has worked from abroad on
the Turkish Empire" 1t was they
who introduced the first sewing ma
chine, the first printing press, the
first modern agricultural imple-
ments, built the first hospitals, the
first modern schools, the first dis
pensary, who brought thither the
tomato, the potato and other fruits
and vegetables, and first gave the
peoples of Turkey, Christian as
well as Moslem, the Bible in each
of their languages. .-Ex.

VOTING CONTEST CLOSED.
Miss Addie Stephens Awarded
Piano. Eleven Other Young
Ladies Presented With
Prizes.

The great. voting contest that has
been conducted by The Advertiser
during the past three months closed
at noon Saturday last. Interest and
enthusiasm in the contest steadily
increased from the opening till the
closing day, the ultimate success
being far beyond sour expectation.
Notwithstanding the intense inter-
est, the fair young contestants mani
tested the most commendable and
most beautiful spirit throughout
the entire time.
Immediately after the close at l9
O'Clock Saturday the books and
contest records were placed in the
hands of the committee Of judges
which was composed of Capt. E. II.
Folk, w. w. Adams and B. E.
Nicholson, all three being gentle
men of unquestioned honesty and
integrity. 1t required about three
hours of very hard work for them
to complete their report giving the
actual number of votes that each
young lady received. This report
simply presented the record, letting
it speak for itself and show the rela-
tive standing of the contestants, re-
lieving the contest manager and the
editor of The Advertiser of
awarding the prizes. The following
