sermon

Subject for morning sermon:
Gods Messengers.
Evening subject: The City of
Refuge.
There were about twenty present
at the Home Mission meeting Tues
day afternoon.
In the absence of the president,
who was called away because of sick
ness, Mrs. G. Frank Bamberg presid-
ed. The subject of the meeting was,
THE Negro in Our Own Land
After the usual devotional exer-
cises Mrs. G. R. Brabham, Jr., read
an interesting article showing the
good work that Paine college annex
was doing for negro girls, taking
the raw, untaught girl who had nev-
er even seen into the white folks,
house" and making out of her COM
petent, respectful house servant.
And later how she was led to help
the children of her own race.
Mrs. J. J. Cleckley, in a we'll pre-
pared paper, showed our obligations
as Gods people to a weak, ignorant
race. She showed how our fathers
had tried to be faithful to them in
giving them the gospel and in train
ing them. South Carolina led in this
work, sending the first missionary
to the slaves-our own honored
Bishop Capers.
Mrs. G.. F. Bamberg read "A Page
from the Heart of Aunt Mandy Ann,
an amusing, and interesting paper,
and withal showing glimpse into
the longings of a lowly heart.
During the, business part of the
meeting a reading circle was pro-
jected. The course consists of two
studies: "Mormonism, the Islam of
America" and "China's New Day."

The Primary Bill.

Representative J. A. Hunter sent
us last week copies of the bills now
before the legislature to safeguard
the primary. There were several
bills, also the substitute bill offered
by the judiciary committee. 1t was
interesting to note that the substl-
tute bill offered by the committee
was substantially the same as that OF
representative B. w. Miley, it en-
bodying all the principal features OF
his bill. No bill is likely to become
law at this session, but there is
little doubt but that the law which
will finally be enacted will carry out
the ideas advanced by Mr.. Miley.

Valentine Party.

Probably one of the most enjoy
able of the recent social events was
the Valentine party given Thursday
evening by Mr. and Mrs. F. B. Nc
Crackin. For the occasion all the
lower floor of the charming home had
been thrown into one, and cut flowers
and pot plants were used everywhere
to add attractiveness to the scene.
Whist was the game played, and for
the merry guests the hours passed on
flying feet until a salad course was
served and the lucky winner an
nounced.
The favors were heart shaped
boxes with mint hearts, and every
where possible the spirit of the oc-
casion was carried out in honor of the
mischevious little god in whose honor
it was given. When the count was
taken at the conclusion of the games,
it was found that the first prize for
the ladies, cut glass dish, was won
by Mrs. w. A. Klauber and that Mr..
Bissell Beach had won the gentle
mans prize, a gold tie clasp.
Altogether the occasion was most
enjoyable one, and the guests were
indebted to Mr. and Mrs. McCrackln
and the little lord of love for most
pleasant evening.
Among the guests present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Wyman, Mr.. and
Mrs. C. J. S. Brooker, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. A. Klauber, Mr.. and Mrs. H. H.
COPELAND, Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Will

atty of five per cent. was added to all
unpaid city taxes.
A bill, introduced by Representa-

er's residence.
Thursday evening Dr.. and Mrs. F.
B. McCrackin entertained number
of friends at card party. After sew
eral games OF whist refreshments
were served.
Fine weather this week, after last
weeks cold snap, and no doubt this
springy feeling makes the women
think of Easter hats and dresses and
the men of new suits, etc.
Rev. J. w. Sparks, an Episcopal
minister from Charleston, will hold
divine services at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday, the 23rd, instant,
at II a. m. and 4 o'clock p. m. The
public is cordially invited to attend.

this week to the store next to the
postofice, formerly occupied by S.
NJ. Pesken, but which was vacated
by him this week. The store now
occupied by Mr. Klsuber will be re-
modelled and improved, and he will
move back to his old stand as soon
as the improvements are completed.
The legislature cut out of the ap-
preparation bill an item for the pay
ment of $4,000 to A. w. Todd for his
plans and model of million dollar
state house. This bill was present.
ed last year, and at that time Mr..
Todd wanted $4,000 for his model
and plans. Mr.. Hunter voted to pay
the $4,000 and Mr. Miley against it.
CONGRESSMAN James F. Byrnes has
advised us that he has directed the
department of agriculture to send to
US 200 packages of vegetable and a
few flower seed. They will no doubt
arrive by the time this issue of The
Herald is printed, and all who wish
some will please call at this office.
Remember, it will be first come first
served, so do not delay.
The athletic field recently pre-
sented to the Carlisle Fitting School
by Mr.. w. D. Rhoad, and which will
be known as 'Rhoad's Park" is be-
ing put in condition for athletic
sports. All stumps have been re-
moved and the field plowed up and
leyeled and rolled. The field will be
in fine fix when the base ball season
opens, and the school will have a
good team this year.
The house owned by DR.. Geo. F.
Hair and occupied by Mr.. W. D.
Blume and family, on Railroad Ave-
nue., next to the stables of Jones
Bros, caught fire Tuesday afternoon
about three o'clock. The fire origin

from sparks. 1t was soon put out
and not much damage was done.
Some of the furniture was removed
but not much damaged

Pity the School Teacher.

The modern school teacher must
be inwardly a wonderful and awe
some creature She is the vortex
around which swirl all the perplex-
ing currents of our confused society.
She must have the versatility, plas-
ticity and adaptability of genius to
answer the demands made upon her
brain and heart. Upon her shoul-
ders, as upon Atlas's, rests the whole
world.
Consider what she is supposed to
do. She must supplant the State in
educating the youth in patriotism,
law, history and all the latest civic
virtues. She must train him to vote
right to serve his country. Just last
week Richmond teachers listened to
an able appeal for more fundamental
instruction in the principles of gov
ornment for the future citizen. This
is an admirable end, but is govern
ment so simple and modern affairs
so easily grasped that for the prince
ly stipend of $50 or $50 month we
can secure an expert to interpret
constitutions and direct common
wealths?
She must make her room an annex
to the home What parents cannot
instil, guided by love and made wise
by acquaintance with the very hearts
of their children, she must impart
to them out of the dull pages of a
book. Beginning with manners and
running all the way to morals, she
must somehow by her precept and
example mold so or more young pa
gans into models of virtue and pro-
priety. Whatever is too difficult for
home teaching is Jumped vaguely to-
gether as the sphere of the school.
Sewing and cooking and manual
training, we believe, can be taught,
admirably in schools. But we do
not think character can be built in
the mass. 1t is laziness in the par
ent that would delegate these su-
preme functions of education to an
underpaid and harassed young wo-
man, who often enough is scarcely
able to keen honest herself on the
wages she gets.
To these big items, pedagogy is
swiftly adding more. The teacher is
expected to look after the health of
her charges. She must impart ideals
of cleanliness, preach the dangers of
germs and even show the most ap-
proved methods of washing the
hands. In the country, furthermore,
she is an adjunct of agriculture.
Plant life, animal life, husbandry,
dairying and a score of other pro-
cesses depend on her efforts. The
amusements of children are also to
be directed by the teacher.
These are but few of the things
she is supposed to do. All of them
are good. Many of them are truly
vital parts of public education. Not
for a moment would we have the in
fuence of the school in real life sac
rifced for an outworn tradition OF
mere book learning. But it is time
society took common-sense view
of such things and provided special
teachers and broader instruction to
fit these paramount guides for the
multifarious calls upon their ener-
gies. 1t is folly to base progress on
education and not furnish the best
educators.

others must have found him the kind of

and respect in which he was held was evil
denced by the largest attended funeral
held in private house in our vicinity in
many years; as well as the closing of the
stores during the funeral hour. A large
number of men from out of town, with
whom Mr.. Greer had business relations,

his fair dealing and business integrity.
