TEACHERS BACK
FROM NASHVILLE
OVER NETTING
OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE
ASSOCIATION.

The Maury county delegation re-
turned Saturday evening from Nash
vile, where they had attended the an
nual session of the Middle Tennessee
Teachers Association. The teachers
were enthusiastic over the good work
which is being done throughout the
State for the furtherance of education,
and said that the association was a
great help to the teachers. Several
of the Columbia teachers were on the
program for different discussions.
Superintendent Graham returned ear
lier in the day from the meeting.

the House.
Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 14-De-
spite rumors of conferences looking
to the return of the insurgent mem
bers of the Legislature, the situation
this morning remains unchanged, and
they are, so far as known, as fixed in
their determination to continue the
deadlock as when they left here. The
House met this morning and adjourn
ed until 10 o'clock tomorrow.
Contrary to the case yesterday,
some business was transacted, in that
Speaker Leach signed House bills
Nos 461, $50 and ITO, all local, and
Senate bill 5S2, which is the election
bill, the passage of which led to the
House members leaving the State.
The interesting question now is,
will the Governor receive this bill,
there being no quorum of the House
present when the bill was signed. The
journal does not show that no quorum
was present. An effort to get this
fact on the journal signally failed.

RAIN PREVENTS

Jupiter Pluvius, the god of rain,
again interfered with the diamond
contest scheduled at the c. NJ. A. d.
almond for Saturday afternoon. The
Cadet teams opponent was scheduled
to be Jones High School, of Lynnville,
but for the second time rain inter
fered and prevented a game against
the Giles county bunch of players. 1t
is doubtful if that team will be seen
here this season, as the other dates
on the local calendar have been pref

this afternoon between c. NJ. A. and
Battle Ground Academy if the dia-
mond is dry enough.

There is not the slightest sign that

MANY BALES OF COTTON BURN.
Between 1000 and LOO Bales Lost
I'm Fire I'm Warehouse at Orange
burg-Covercd by Insurance.

Orangeburg, Jan. 19.-One OF the
most disastrous fires that has visited
this city in a number OF years took
place this afternoon when the Pee
pies cotton warehouse was burned,
containing over 900 bales Of cotton.
The cotton in this warehouse was
owned largely by John Cart. promi-
nent cotton buyer OF this city, The
rest OF the cotton was stored in Mr..
Carts warehouse by other persons,
for whom Mr.. Cart Is warehouseman.
The loss entailed upon Mr.. Cart Is,
In all probability. covered by insur-
ance. as between $65,00O and $40, 900
insurance was carried on this cotton.
There will very likely be large SAL
wage, as II is thought nearly one
third Of the cotton will be saved.
There was nearly LOO bales of cot
ton I'm the warehouse at the time Of
the fire.
The fire fighting OF the local fire
companies was excellent, as the large
reservoir of the Standard Oil corn
pany was within 20 feet Of the burn
ing building. while the Southern Cot
ton Oil company's plant and the
Orangeburg Cotton Manufacturing
plant were in close proximity. The

fire Is not known. the fire being under
great headway when discovered.
The fire companies are still hard at
work extinguishing the burning cot

night. Chief Dibble and his loyal CO.
workers will remain at their posts un-
Ill the fire Is subdued.

The South and Immigration.

Kr Sxville Journal and Tribune.
Criticism of the South is some
times heard for not sending agents to
Europe to solicit immigration from
that country to the Southern States.
In all probability IL the Southern
States would make provision for that
sort of work. men would be found to
undertake IL. and to do II well.
But II is n question IL the South Is
anxious TO increase the population of
the section. TO spend money to secure
II I'm that way. Foreigners have come
to the South and have been welcomed
They are the equals OF our best citi-
zens We are glad they are here, and
IL we could have others like them We
would hail their coming with pleasure,
and receive them as valuable acquisi-
tions to our population. Many Of
those who are here have taught the
native population valuable lessons by
their example and have done their Iull
share towards developing our natural
resources.
IL need not be said that many are
coming from other countries now that
are not OF that sort wanted in the
South. And the general sentiment
IL that we can wait for an increase
Of our population and take the
chances OF getting better class of
citizens. rather than send agents
across the waters. and spend money
TO get such immigrants as are now
landing daily at the port of New
York and oongesting that city with
men who are not caring to know
OF them.
AS that class may spread out over
the section Of the country that is
bending its energies TO increase popu-
lation I'm that way. We look for many
OF the native farmers and manufac-
turers OF the North TO look to the
South for future and more desirable
homes. IL Is already looking that way.
There has not been a time in the past
when 50 many northern farmers have
looked in the direction of Southern
farms. II Is only beginning to be
known that there are as productive
-ands In the South as there are in the
world. and " Is beginning 10 he
known that we have a soil adapted
20 the growing of q variety OF crops.
II viii all come out right in the
eud, and even desirable Immigrants
from foreign countries will find it
without the States spending money

homes and tell them about 1t.
