Unable to Continue.

Washington, Feb $3.50 affected
by his emotions and weakened by
the illness with which he was strick-
EN- during the last session of CON
gress as to be unable to continue,
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
sank sobbing into his seat shortly af
ter having begun a speech in eulogy
of the late Senators Alexander S.
Clay OF Georgia, and Jonathan p.
Dolliver of Iowa. Senator Bacon of
Georgia moved hastily over and took
seat by the South Carolinian. a
few words from Mr.. Bacon in a
measure restored tie control of his
nerves to Mr.. Tillman and soon
thereafter he feebly left the chamber.
The scene was an affecting one, and
members on the floor and spectators
in the gallery visibly were moved. The
attempt to speak at length was the
first MIR. Tillman had made since his
return to his duties. and his friends
had feared that it might prove too
great Il taN upon his impaired strength
Mr. Tillman's concluding words
were:
'Dolliver. as we all called him. was
a great man. Great men are plenti-
full in this country but not as great
as Dolliver. Good men are plentiful

AT the opening of school in Septem-
Der, the grounds were covered with
cotton even to the door. After II was
gathered, the patrons came with their
plows, wagons, scrapes. ETC., and lev
eled off the grounds, laid off walks
planted trees and sodded the lawn with
Bermuda grass.
AT the December meeting of the
State School Improvement Associa-
ton, we were given a $50 prize which
we used to paint the house. A little
later the local Rural School Improve
ment Association gave an entertain
ment from which nice sum was real
lied. This was used for improving
and better equipping the interior. The
teachers realized that there exist in
the heart of every boy and girl love
for the beautiful and that the more at
tractive and home-like the pupils en-
vironments, the better the attendance
and more efficient the work
In the summer after the close of the
second session, the trustees decided
to divide those seventy five pupils in
to three departments and to elect a
third teacher. In September Of 1909,
the third room was fitted up with
desks. table, stove, black boards, etc.
and into it the eighth. ninth and tenth
grades began work with one teacher
to devote her whole time to them
Think of the change. In the spring
of 1907, this same teacher had closed
school at Chestnut Ridge where she
had nine grades, hearing on an aver
age of fortyfve recitations day
Our school has made rapid pro-
gress since the consolidation. The
enrolment each year has been from
seventy to seventy-fve. Good work
has been done and is being done by
the pupils. Those who left the tenth
grade last year are doing good work
at college.
We have just finished putting a
fresh coat of paint on the house. On
the grounds good we'll has been

sented by a true friend and stanch
supporter of the school, DR.. A. c. Full

Many thanks are due to our efficient
board of trustees, Messrs. G.. A. Fuller,
Frank Owings and John ID. w. Watts
for their interest and untiring efforts
to maintain a high standard for the

the ninth grade. Each with a teacher

days the trustees had selected one of
the most beautiful building sites in
the county and three acres at $50 per
acre purchased. Across the field on
one side came rolling the old Chest

the road facing it, came Trinity. They
