Inc teachers said they were not only
constantly alarmed over the danger
from fire but that their fears were in
creased by the narrow, winding stairs
and narrow landings, which would ia
tally retard the escape Of the children
in the event of fire.
The suggestion has been made by a
patron of the school that prize be of
tered to any stranger who will go into
this building and be able to find his
way out unassisted
But this. is not all. The slate roof of
the building is in a woeful state Of
dllapldation and in times of rain let's
the water through in a small sized
deluge. The class rooms on the Sec
ond floor, OF course, get the full bene-
fit Of these "shower baths"
1t was said today that during a re-
cent rain a torrent of water suddenly
burst through and poured down on the
head of boy in the fourth grade He
swan out as best he could, and finally
was rescued by His classmates and re-
moved to a dry section of the room

Pupils Work Retarded.
IF ever a new school building was a
necessity in the city Of Atlanta that
need is right here at Davis street." said
Miss Riordan today. Under the pres
ent deplorable conditions, the work of
the school is seriously hampered. and
the children can not obtain their best
development.
1--WE have an ideal location here for a
school-tt is away from a car line, is
quiet, and on a hill where we get plenty
Of fresh air. Then, too, we have the
finest playground of any school in the
city-there's no doubt of that If we
only had a new and modern building,
suitable for the demands made on it, we
would have a model school. If the city
generally knew of the hardships under
which this army of children is laborlng
for an education, believe every section
would rise with us and plead for a new
school,

ABNER DAVIS.
By. VIM. ID. S.

He lived up on Mountain Creek, S.
c., and was a man of high nervous
temperament. Was mortally afraid
OF thunder and lightning. Any unusual
noise would put him to flight One
night he was lying asleep on his bed
with door and windows open to let
in the cool night air. A young heifer
got frightened and stampedeG. She saw
the open door and jumped into the
floor of the cabin and ran right up to
Abner's bed. She was a believing
every step she made. Abner threw his
feet over the bed rail and caught the
COW by the horns. She was so strong
that she pulled the old man out into
the floor. They then had it around
and around-Abner afraid to let her
loose and yelling at the top of. his
voice for help. And the cow a fighting
to get away, and believing from fright
1T was hard to tell which was scared
the worst, Abner or the cow Some
of the neighbors ran in and released
him from his unpleasant predicament.
What would you or have done in the
case? We would have hid under the
bed, or jumped out of the back win
do and made for the woods.

The announcement that Chicora

Greenville but that it will be moved
to a new site where larger accom-

good news. We have felt all along
that this would be the final outcome
of the agitation begun last year to
remove the institution to another

the institution is most beautiful
one, it cannot be denied that it is
hardly large enough to care for the

Incidents Of Personal Interest
on Cbildren's Day.

In the audience at our annual Chill
dren's Day perhaps the oldest was
DR.. A. c. Fuller OF Trinity and there
was no one more Interested or pleas
ed than he. We had a pleasant chat
with the Doctor. He told us that our
father, the late w. l.. Cunningham
was very special friend of his and
once passed compliment on him
that he had never forgotten and would
always appreciate. 1t was this: In
crowd of friends he one day made
this remark that If the friends of
DR.. Fuller would always follow him
they would never go wrong" A beau
tiful tribute from one good citizen to
another.
The strength Of nations is in the
manhood that knows the right and
knowing dare maintain" Such man
was my father, such a one is his old
friend, DR.. Fuller May his last years
be his hest and may he be spared to
meet with us again on Children's Day.
One day last week just at sundown
we passed an old farm house, desert
ed and untenanted, with three fine old
oaks guarding it. Mamma" said, the
little one with us "who used to live
there long time ago?" "Old brother
Elkin and he was our preacher at
Prospect so they tell me-" did he
have any children?" "No, but there
was a girl lived with him. named
Fannie Bookhardt" and met and fell
in love with Fannie Bookhardts two
charming daughters, the sweet-faced
Misses Eloise and Mary Brown Of
Cross Hill. Children's Day! / felt
just like / had met long lost kinfolks,
though never knew their mother,
her name | heard so often in my
childhood, l had a feeling that we
were sure enough kin" When ]
mentioned the fact to two of her old
chums, Mollie Cunningham league
and Maggie Finley Martin, they cried
in unison, Fannie Bookhardt's daugh-
ters there and we not see them!" We
trust that at our neyt Children's Day
Mrs Brown will be able to come her
self, for she will receive warm well
come from old friends.
II. Terry, the genial merchant and
his good lady always try and get out
with us on Children's Day and Sat
urday was no exception. He always
feels at home at Prospect, however,
and though he is not exactly in the
straight and narv, w way in as much
as he is not a Baptist (but his good
lady isl. Therefore he has host
OF friends here. He ought to have
been Methodist preacher though, for
he began eating at one table at the
corner of the church and ate all the
way round. The last l saw of him
he was passing around the corner of
the church with piece of fried
chicken in one hand and a quarter
of Aunt Mary Allison's fine potato
custard in the other Now wouldn't
he pass for Methodist parson?
Uncle John Finley had the very
great pleasure of meeting one of his
first cousins Saturday that he hadn't
seen on 80 odd years. The Rev. Mr..
Miller, the well-liked Methodist
preacher at Waterloo. Truly Chill
dren's Day is the day of reunions.

ordering an election on the question
whether or not Woodruff is to be-
come county-seat indicates that the
people OF that husting little town
mean business. The fact that they
have added another 5000 to their de-
posit with the clerk of court to cover
the election expenses, and that with
out any demand from him, further
shows that they are "heeled" for the
fracas. The fact that they have Sc

Fountain Inn eliminotes that town
as an aspirant for county-seat honors
and "cmoluments for the present. The
contest is now between Woodruff and
the field and we imagine that Foun-
tain Inn is in that field, for the terri
tories wanted by these two aspiring
towns overlap.
The Advertiser does not believe
that the people in either OF these dis
tricts are going to vote in large
enough numbers to carry an election
for new county. 1t does not believe
that the people in those districts can
be convinced of any great advantages
to accrue to them as a result of such
formation. Yet, in spite Of our CON
1idenco that the new county election

of the citizens Of Daurens feel as we

The history of Laurens in the past,
including number of failures to at
tain desired goals, will show that over
confidence at critical moments has
done more TO bring about certain de-
feats that she has met than any one
thing else. 1t might be that we are
overconfldent in this matter and pos
sibly we are. In any case we should
profit by past experiences and begin
campaign Of enlightenment on this
momentous question. We do not want
TO see these good people leave us and
we should do what we can to show
them that they should still abide with

and the directions are SO plain you
will have no trouble in following
them.
1.-The Hebrew Girl. A large dark
girl. Her hair in two long braids; her
dress dark crimson, with full skirt,
rather loose waist, cut slightly
round at the neck and with no sleeves,
but with~the drapery falling over her
arms. She sits at low table, side
to the audience, and looks up at a
rabbi, a very tall dark man dressed
In flowing robes of deep blue with a
border and girdle with ends, long
gray wig and large beard. He holds
roll, its top beginning at his shout
der, its end falling to the floor, made
like a narrow map on rollers. This
represents the Talmud. (See the pic
lures in an illustrated Old Testament.)
2.-Listening To Homer. This is a
copy of Alma Tadema's famous pic
ture. Have some palms or other
foliage at the back of the stage and
a very long, white painted bench
across this. AT one end sits a dark,
smooth-shaven young man bending
forward with arm on knee, dressed
in a thick tunic with border, hold
ing roll; one arm is on the back
of the bench. Two girls sit opposite
listening to him. They are dressed
in white tunics over full skirts. The
tunics are cut round at the neck and
fastened at the shoulders with clasps.
They should wear their hair parted,
with Psyche knot; gilt ribbons are
wound around the head.
3.-The Children of Alfred The
Great. Alfred had a son and daugh-
ter whom he educated carefully. The
girl may sit on a low stool, with a
| Huge parchment book open on apother
stool in front. The boy stands at the
hack, facing the audience. looking
down at her. She wears dress

owed Reeoanltlon to Emperor.

Bell had little success at the Phila
delphia exhibition, and his invention
would have passed unnoticed, even,
had it not been for Dom Pedro, the
emperor of Brazil. For the story we
are indebted to the Revue Scientifique.
Dom Pedro was inspecting the exhibi.
ton, attended by his suite, when he
came across Graham Bell, whom he
remembered as a teacher in a school
of deaf mutes. Dom Pedro came to
his stand and asked him to "set his
machine going"
A wire crossed the room from wall
to wall. Dom Pedro stood at the re-
ceiver and Bell at the transmitter. No
one understood exactly what was hap
pening, when suddenly the emperor
lifted his head dramatically and
shouted. in absolute amazement:
Hes talking" The scientists in Dom
Pedro's suite rushed to verify this ex.
traordinary announcement, and 'the
more they knew of electricity, the less
they would believe their ears" The
next day the newspapers were filled
with the news, and the telephone be-
came famous Immediately.
