COUNTY TEACHERS MEET.
Several Interesting Addresses Made at
Session.

The Sumter County Teachers AS
sociation met at the Hampton school
building Saturday at noon and those
present heard three very interesting
talks during the session. There were
quite a number present and much in
terest was manifested in the subjects
discussed
Mis- L. w. Mclean, superintendent
or the primary department Of city
schools, spoke first She addressed
the teachers on the Importance of the
Home Makers" clubs, and the value
of the subjects studied by them. She
laid stress on the importance of know
Ing how to cook food properly and
how a change of food was necessary.
saying that many deaths throughout
the country were due to poor food,
imp operly cooked food, or lack of
variety Of food.
DR.. Walter Cheyne spoke on hygiene
in the school room and the import
ance of ne teachers knowing them
selves what sanitary measures to take
and how 20 carry these measures into
execution. He pointed out he diff
ferent diseases school children were
most subjected to and told how many
of them could be prevented by simple
rules, which every child and par
ent could follow out. The teacher
must talk hygiene 20 the children"
he said, mot teach it to them, for
they picked up more and applied it
better, if it were talked to them, in a
simple way which they could under
stand" WhoOping cough and meas
les he said, killed twelve times.
as many children annually as did
small pox and other virulent diseases,
which were more generally feared
and guarded against The parents
must b, taught the proper treatment
of these diseases and how to prevent
cOntagi0n. He thought that an inspect
ing officer should see every child
which Was sick, as an examination
would prevent, possibly, the speard of
the disease, if the child was affect
ed.
Miss Mary f. Frayser of Winthrop
college spoke next. She addressed
the teachers on the value Of teaching
industrial branches in the rural
schools, telling of the Importance to
the child of his or her knowing these
things. She illustrated her talk by
telling what had been done in some
schools and pointing TO what could
be done in others. Miss Frayser
showed her enthusiasm in her work
and il is probable that the ideas ad-
vanced by her will make some of the
teachers take up in the future more
comp'e enensive work along the lines
advocated by her in the rural schools.
All three talks were heard with the
greatest pleasure and interest De-
lightful music was rendered by Mrs
j. l.. Frierson during the session,
feature much enjoyed.

TIES WITH LIVES.

Ell Paso, Texas, March Exchanging
from railway telegraph poles at Sauz,
between Chihuahua City and the bor-
der, are the bodies of Mariana Rodri-
CUES, former police chief of Juarez,
and Rafael Esquir, an aged newspaper
vender of the two border towns. On
the band of the hat worn by Esquir,
who was credited with religious fanat-
icism, are printed the strange words
"Soldado de par" (soldier of peace).
Taunting their victims with this
motto familiar to residents of Ell Paso
and Juarez, who patroniZed the ven-
dor, federal troops last Wednesday re-
moved Equir and Rodrigues from the
Jail where they had been held for po-
litical offenses. It was charged that
paper, blaming General Huerta with
the Staying of Madero.
While 1Isqur cried curses on the
heads of the soldiers, Mariana Rodri-
CUES, a young Mexican who had fought
with Madero in the first revolution,
met his death calmly. An unidenti-
fled political prisoner also was hanged,
according to persons arriving here to-
day.
From points below Chihuahua City
come belated reports of raiding OF
ranches and small towns. At viii
lage near the state capital, bandits
in the guise of constitutionalists
raided dwellings and mercantile
houses. After even robbing children
toy banks of their pennies the raiders
left the town crying, viva la con-

TURKS ARE IN HOPELESS coNpl-
TION AND ALLIES ARE
READY TO QUIT.
PRESENT TERMS
Bulgarian Premier Is Given Schemes
Which Powers Wish to Make the
Basis of Mediation-Adrianople Still
Holding Out and Allies Are Losing
Heart-and Money.

London, March 22,-The develop
ments of the last week appear to
make the conclusion of the Balkan war
IL matter of only a few days. Turkey,
having no hopes Of obtaining more
money, has entrusted her interests to
the good offices of the powers, and the
allies have accepted the powers offer
of mediation. The representatives of
the powers at Sofia today handed the
Bulgarian premier their schemes en1-
bodying a basis for mediation. Their
plan includes two provisions to which
the allies will likely object. The de-
mand for indemnity is vetoed, and the
powers stipulate that hostiliues must
cease when their proposals are ac-
cepted.
1t appears improbable. however, that
the allies will refuse to settle on the
terms now offered. The war has come
practically to a deadlock, Fighting on
the Tchatalja lines has been lnde-
cisive. Adrianople which the Bull
garians proposed to reduce to submits
sion in few days. seems to be hold
out as strongly as ever after a five
months siege, and a wireless message
from tHGIt loNuy declares tnat tne
Turkish commander has no thought OF
surrender.
Austria has sent a second note to
the Montenegrins, requiring that the
bombardment of Scutar be confined to
the forts, and giving one week for
King Nicholas to comply with her
other demands. Russia Is not backing
the Austrian policy, and as the powers
have agreed that Montenegro shall not
Keep Scutari, even II she conuuers the
garrison, but that that city shall be
Incorporated in the new Albanian state,
King Nicholas seems to have no altern-
I ative but to make a virtue of a neces-
sity.
If the allies attempt to withstand
the mandate Of Europe, they might
prove to be a hornets nest, but the
weak point in their armor Is that their
finances are almost as near an end as
Turkeys.
The ambassadors In London, who
had been scattered for the Easter holi-
day. have been recalled and are in con-
stant consultation over the details OF
the situation Their view Of the out
come Is optimistic.

Of WILSON
MEANS CLEAN POLITICS

Omaha, Neb., March 22.--Willlam
Jennings Bryan, secretary of state,
and Mrs. Bryan, were the guests of
honor tonight at a dinner given by
the University club of Omaha. Mr..
Bryan said that more educated men
had supported Wilson than any pre-
vious democratic candidate and pre-
dicted that the elevation of q man so
thoroughly identified with college life
would tend to draw other college
men into political activity and thus
bring politics to higher plane.
Mr.. Bryan declared that President
Wilson was an ardent advocate of
universal peace; that he was consci-
entious man and that his sympathies
were with tho common people.

There are some dismal spots in the
prediction however. Though the raw
aging storm of the past few days has
gone out of the country, it is an
