TOO MANY MIGRATORY TEACHERS
Teachers Should Stick, Says Inspec-
tor w. H. Hand.

Columbia, Nov. 1.-The frequency
and regularity, with which some.
school change teachers almost
makes one dizzy. There are
two principal reasons for these
changes. In the first place,
many teachers themselves have rest
less and migratory disposition They
seem to be on the constant lookout for
advancement or promotion before they
have given any marked evidence of
capacity or have achieved any marked
success; or, they soon tire Of their
present job and think they could 10
better in some other field. Such teach
ers seem to forget that promotion
naturally follows achieved success in
stead of preceding it. They overlook
the fact that it takes time to establish
a reputation, and that every time a
teacher changes mis- field he has to be-
gin anew" says State High School In
spector w. H. Hand in his annual re-
port
School, Boards to Blame.
'In the second place school boards
are largely to blame for this constant
migration of teachers. Naturally any
board wishes to see it's school sue
cess, but unfortunately the board does
not always know just how to make it
a success. Many boards, in the small
er towns especially, seem to think tha!
when they offer 5000 a year for man
principal and S400 for women assis-
tants they ought to command the pick
of the teachers Of the State. Instead
they usually get young man just ou
of college, absolutely innocent Of an!
knowledge of how to run a school
Sometimes they get an older man wh(
has been drifting from school to schoo
for several years without any sus
picion of success. Of course, by tn
end of the year the board finds itsel
and the community disappointed Then
instead of holding the young man an
giving him time to grow, or Of sup
porting and encouraging the older one
the board dismisses him to go i
quest of another new recruit.
''How can a school board expect o
hope that a beardless youth with

Lawrence Truesdale Pardoned.

One of the pardons granted by
the governor, as a Christmas
present, was that of a negro, Law.
renee Truesdale, who was con
victed of burglary and larceny
several years ago and given a
life sentence. Truesdale broke
into the residence of Mr.. w. F.
Cloyd and was tried and convict
ed for it. There were no exten-
uating circumstances. Besides
Truesdale was a negro of bad
reputation. When he was arrest
ed for burglary and larceny he
had committed another offense
which had stirred the white peo-
pie of this community almost to
fever heat. Why should such a
culprit be given his freedom and

Earthquake Fet in Lancaster.

The earthquake shock, which
passed over the Piedmont sec
tion of the State between l and
2 o'clock Wednesday, was plainly
felt in Lancaster between those
hours. Assistant Postmaster
Frank Hunter was in the post
office writing at the time and
felt the shock so sensibly that he
stopped writing and remarked
about the matter to one of his as
sistants standing near by. This
quake was a small affair COM
pared with the one on Aug. 31st,
1886. The disturbance was so
great on that occasion that the
delegates to a Democratic con-
gressional convention who were
in the old "Catswba House" on
Main street made a hasty retreat
from the building. Tops of
chimneys fell over and other
damage was done in Lancaster
at that time.

Atlanta special of January 2 to
Greenville Daily Piedmont: The
saloon keepers of Atlanta are
doleful today. The water wagon
is groaning, beneath a heavy
load, and the saloon keepers are
groaning because business is
light.
New Years resolutions, they
say, play the cat and banjo with
the near beer trade-for about
three weeks. At the end of that
time, according to the cynical
bar-tenders, the water wagon
hits its accustomed rough places
in the road, and passengers begin
to jolt off one by one. But that
doesn't alter the fact that the
resolutions are hurting the trade
for the time being.
The cigar dealers are also feel
ing the effect of the abstinence
of those who have forsaken Mila-
dy Nicotine for season, though
not to the same extent. They
too are consoling themselves with
the proverb that the man who has
once smoked will smoke again.

MINISTER MAKES
ANNUAL REPORT
Has Collected and Turned Over to
State Treasurer $l77,1O9.

Columbia special to Spartanbdrg
Herald of Jan. 1: The insurance
department of South Carolina has
collected and turned over to the
state treasurer SLIT, 109.61, fac
cording to a letter from F. H.
McMaster, insurance. commits
sioner, transmitting his ANNUAL
report to the general assembly.
The total amount collected by
the department last year was
$165, 600.
Following is the letter of Insu-
rance Commissioner McMaster to
the governor:
by your leave, and inNaccor-
dance with law, the fifth annual
report of the insurance depart
ment is submitted herewith:
During the past year the in
surance department has collected
and turned into the state treas
ury the sum of $177, 1O9.61. The
sources of this income and the
monthly payments into the state
treasury are shown in detail in
the financial statement. '.
laa"I can but repeat what was
stated last year, that this income
to the state is almost wholly due
to the growth of the insurance
business in South Carolina since
the establishment of the insur-
ance department. With the ex-
ception of a fire department
equipment of one per cent. on
fire insurance premiums collected
in Al towns Of the state, and the
agents license fee of so cents for
each company represented, no
additional burdens have been
placed on the business. Indeed,
the burdens have been lightened
through the reduction in license
fees on premiums permitted on
account of investments in the
state. .Ira $40 .5 .uae ss-1
10 Such companies as have made
investments have saved on ac-
count of this reduction in license
fees, approximately $24. ZOO dur.
ing the past year. Therefore the
figures presented here, SIT, ,109. :
81, as compared with $165. 900
last year; $142, coo in 1910, and
$84, 600 in 1909, may be taken as
indices Of the growth of insur-
ance in South Carolina" !" 'a9g7'

congress will die on March a,
Immediately following the inau-
guration of President Woodrow

be Democratic in both houses for

While much important legisla-

much of it will be passed. The
session will be devoted almost
entirely to the passing of appro-
priation bills. The senate will
resume the Archibald impeach-

Democrats will continue to resist
the confirmation Of any of Presi-
