been notified of his appointment as a
member of the American Commission

system of European agricultural coop
Grafton. Mr.. Wingard was selected as
one of the six who are to accompany

en-. it having been appointed
under the terms of an authorization of
the last Congress. The commission,
representing the Government, will sail
from New York on the 26th of April, on

rect to Naples, Italy, and from there

Old age as it comes in the orderly

That is old age as it should be- but old
age as it often is means poor dlges-

Paw Teachers Well.

We have once more reached me an
nual period of unrest in the teach'ng
o, o ession of South Carolina. Ihe
rural schools are begin e to close,
and even the town ard city schools
are looking forward to commence
ment exercises. With the closing or
the years work co ns usually the feel-
ing of uncertainty on the part OF the
teacher as to the position for nextyear.
This is often accompanied by the
anxious search and furious application
for positions. If the past years are
sny Indication as to the future, from
so to IS per cent of our teachers will
change places at the beginning OF
new school session.
This instability il the profession,
from whatever causes it results, is the
greatest curse under which the schools
of the State are now suffering. 1t is
ABSOLUTELY impossible for community
to build up school or for a teacher to
develop ability or acquire reputation
as long as three-fourths Of our teachers
teach one year in place. The fault
sometimes lies with the teacher who,
fron&a lack of interest in his work or
from desire for new surroundings. is
unwilling to cultivate the field which
he has entered long enough to reap the
harvest. The worst recommendation
which q teacher can present toa board
is batch of letters showing that he
has taught at five or six places in as
many years. The teacher should at
least wish to remain long enough in
one community to become thoroughly
identified with the interests of the
people. It is Impossible for him to
adapt his teaching to the needs of a
community when he does not remain
long enough to become acquainted
with these needs. The fault sometimes
lies with the school board who labors
under the mistaken impression that a
teacher loses his influence as soon as
he enters on friendly relations with bis
pupils. Sometimes the board does not
appreciate the fact that a teacher be-
comes more valuable with experience
and deserves substantial recognition OF
increasing proficiency. A school board
should show it's appreciate IN for good
teacher by at least . small annual
increase in salary. Last year many
school boards Of the State paid the tIi-
ton fee and q part Of the expenses OF
their teachers at the Winthrop Sum-
mer school when these returned to their
positions for another year. / should
like to commend this plan to all the
school trustees of the State. A few
dollars added to the first months salary
next year as a partial reimbursement
for expenses incurred on account OF
Summer School attendance will be re-
turned MANIFOLD in increased efficien-
CIV and enthusiasm. Allow me to sug-
gest also that school boards reflect
tr cir teachers Immediately after the
close of the school 80 that they may
tecome settled at once and make their
plans for the new year.

MISREPRESENTATION.

As we stated last week, the question
of Dispensary or No Dispensary is
now q live wire-an issue that we can
mot afford to brush aside or pass lightly
by, the solution of which is now
sqnarely before us for settlement.
Rev. J. L. harley, Superintendent
of the South Carolina Anti-saloon
league. came over Saturday and made
two addresses Sunday-the first in the
court house in the morning to men only
and in the evening in the High School
Auditorium to mixed audience. He
came with his guns cooked, primed
and trained upon the dispensary sys-
item of controlling the sale Of whiskey.
To be honest with ourself aud our
readers we must confess to painful
disappointment at the weakness of
his attack and his illogical deductions.
Nothing was brought out in support
of his contentious other than which
has already been told time and again.
It was the same old story OF "Peter's
swife,s mother lay sick abed with the
1eyer;n or the "fox and goose' story
that We learned at school in our child
.days-nothin more, nothing less.
From thestandpoint Of an impassion-
ate and pathetic appeal to the senti-
ments of his hearers these addresses
could possibly be classsd as q success.
From the standpoint Of logic and rea-
son they were dismal failures. Re-
member that we are criticing the man
rs public, speaker mot the merits of
the cause he represents, nor do we
wish TO be understood as committing
the Dispatch to any line of policy con-
corning this matter.
But, on the other hand, hiasddresses
were by 10 means void of interest
and effect as they have been the means
of awakening the prohibition element
so the gravity of the dangers ahead
and aroused them to g lively activity
in the interest of the cause which is
near and dear their heart In perfecting
a thorough organization and general
concentration of their forces, and the
leaders are already arranging to undo

ward the re-establ blishment Of the dis
