Through the operation of this pro-

largest laundries of the United
States. All of the laundries using
the electric process give a positive
guarantee that colors will not fade,
and some of them give a guarantee as
to the life of collars and other linen
if washed by electricity.
There is a splendid field for such
an enterprise in Columbia and the
public generally is welcoming its adj
vent. The capital stock of the new
company is to be $4,000, and shares
are to be placed at $50 each. Stock

EDUCATIONAL WORK
IN MAURY COUNTY IS
Rapid Y IMPROVING
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT HAS BE
COME A SALIENT FEATURE
OF PROGRESS.
KNAPP DAY DECEMBER FIFTH
Teachers Meeting for December Will
Take Place on Saturday, December
6-Program for Study and Discus
sion.

The past few weeks of pretty
weather has put school matters in the
county in a fine way, and the teach
ers will doubtless attend the Decem
Der teachers meeting more numerous
ly than is the custom at that session
On Friday, the fifth, the day before
the regular monthly meeting date Of
the teachers of the county, has been
set aside by the state superintendent
as memorial day for Seaman A
Knapp, the founder of the agricultu
raj idea in high schools. This day
will be recognized throughout the
South by the schools, many of the
states having accepted December as
the memorial day.
The regular date of the monthly
meeting of the teachers of the coun-
ty is Saturday, December 6, and a
regular program, in accordance with
the schedule of studies and subjects
sent out by the office of the state SUI
perintendent.
There was a time when the school
improvement idea was only an idea,
but that time has long past, and now
it is one of the most salient features
of the public school work in the coun-
ty In fact it is becoming a matter
of embarrassment among the teach
ers when there is not some COM
mendable work along this line to re-
port at the monthly meetings, and
there are but few schools in the coun-
ty which have not secured a library
from the state supply working along
this line. Not only are Libraries sup
piled, but other important and often
times necessary Improvements are
made in this way. A community in
terest in the buildings, the progress
and the relative standing of the dis
trict schools is promoted and foster
3D.
The program for the coming meet
ing follows:
Country Life and Country School,
chapters and 6, led by Prof. D. NJ
Galloway.
Principles of Rural Economics,
chapter 2, to page ia, led by Prof.
W. N Bingham.
School Improvement, led by Prof j.

and worse than orphaned children. at

and worse than orphaned children, at
home.
We used tosfeel at times as though,
here in this God fOrsaken country, we
were having a pretty lonesome time OF
it-never having killed anyone-and
we began to think that in order to COM
mand respect we would have to start
a private cemetery. So one time when
we had a good opportunity we drew
our pop on a man and shot at him. He
often writes to US now and tells US how
healthy he is. Before we shot at him
ne used to have trouble with his di-
gestion, and every spring he was so BIZ
lious he didn't care whether he lived
or not. Now he weighs two hundred
pounds and looks forward to a long
and useful life. Still the revolver is
not always healthy promoter. IL IS
more deadly as a general rule for the
owner than any one else. Half, at
least, of the distressing accidents that
occur as result of carrying pistol are
distressing mainly to the man VINO
carries the weapon.
We sometimes think that If editors
would set the example, and instead OF
going round armed to the teeth, would
rely on the strength of their noble
manhood and a hickory club others
would follow and discard the pistol.
For a year we have been using a
club with the best of results, and al
though the exercise has been pretty
severe at times. the death rate has
been considerably reduced and many of
our citizens have been spared to help
the community with their presence.
Let the press of the country take
hold of this thing, and the day will
come when a man may enter the edl-
torial office as fearlessly as he now
goes to the postoffice. Nothing un-
nerves man like going into sanctum
and finding fragments of an old ac-
auaintance scattered over the velvet
carpet, or ruthessly jammed into a
porcelain cuspidor. B. N.

CIV. F. Essays on the Righteous
War Against Pistol T Toting.

The righteous war against the carry
ing of pistols is still going on all over
the country, and the mayors of the
larger cities are making it red not for
everyone who violates the law. This is
right. No man even carried one that he
did not intend to Kill some one with it.
If he does not intend to kill someone
with it, why does he carry a deadly
weapon? The result is that, very often

as he ought to, would have been a re-
spected citizen, becomes Gagged muir
