extended to him from a strong church
in birmingham. Ala.
catawba Frozen Over.
Catawba river was frozen over yes
terday morning. The information
comes through telephone message
from Mr.. G.. L. Suggs, who lives near
Wright's ferry. At about 4 O'Clock
the Ice extended entirely across the
river, and was from two to two and
one-half inches thick. Later, how
ever, when the big dynamos at the
power house, about three and one-halt
miles down the river, began to meet
the Monday morning demand for pow
er, the water began to sink and the
ice began to break. Mr.. Suggs said
the thermometer registered 10 degrees
yesterday morning at about 6 O'Clock
Carolina Mutual Judgments.
The advertisement In another col
umn by the master Of Spartanburg
county, giving notice Of sale Of prop
critics of various parties in this county
Is to be taken as another development
In the campaign Of the Carolina Mu-
tual Fire Insurance company OF Spar
tanburg. It will be remembered that
this company had numbers Of clients
on the string in York county and
when they lost confidence and quit
paying suit was brought against them
Most of the policy holders got togeth-
er and put in answers. They have
heard nothing more. If the parties
AGAINST whom judgment has been Sc
cured had answered, the probability Is
that they would have also been safe.

There were twenty-five members pres

cold weather the attendance was good
and fairly representative. The pres
ident, Mr.. Witherspoon, called the
meeting to order at II o'clock, and
requested Mr.. Gunter to open the ex=
ercises with prayer. On behalf of the
people of Yorkyille, Mr.. Witherspoon
heartily welcomed this meeting of
the teachers to Yorkyille. The pro-
gramme as arranged by the commit
tee was followed, and Miss Russell
was introduced to discuss the subject,
THE Teaching Of Reading in the Pri-
mary Grades" Miss Russell dealt
with the subject very practically and
helpfully, and after her address there
was an open discussion of the subject
participated in by nearly every teach
er present. At the request or the
president. Dr. Patterson Wardlaw
closed the discussion with some most
helpful suggestions. Miss Mary Love
read a splendid paper on the subject,
THE Teaching of Reading in the In
termedate Grades" After her paper,
Mr.. r. H. Holiday led in another gen.
eral discussion, which proved interest
ing and suggestive. Mature Study In
the Public Schools" was treated by
Miss Sibyl Rrowne in an excellent pa
per. This subject was discussed by
Mr.. ]. H. Spann. The president of
the association then introduced DR..
Patterson Wardlaw for the main ad-
dress of the meeting. His subject was
"The New Life Of the School," The
least that can be said Of the address
is. that it was interesting, informing
and inspiring as is the case with all
of DR.. Wardlaw's discussions. At
