Teachers Meeting-0f Interest To All.

Saturday, Oct. l1th., has been set
for the first meeting Of the Clarendon
County Teachers Association, to be
held at Manning Graded School build
ing at II o'clock. At this meeting a
reorganization will be effec ted by the
election of new officers for the cnsu-
ing wear. At the same time the
School Improvement Association Will
be organized, officers elected, and fu-
ture plans discussed.
This first meeting will be one OF
great importance, as matters Will oe
discussed and acted upon looking to
educational interest and enthusiasm.
Good live associations of the above
character are indications OF an a~ak-
ened interest in education, and no
teacher, trustee or patron can afford
to withhold his support.
At this time teachers are being
elected and are entering upon their
work. and 10 many instances the
County Superintendent does not know
who the teacher is until late in Octob-
er or November. Therefore it IS eX-
pected OF the trustees especially to see
that their teachers get notice OF
this meeting, either by calling atten-
tioD to the newspaper article or oy
sending me the name and address OF
the teacher. Notices have been sent
to all whose addresses already have.
One of the features OF school lm-
provement work for this year will be
a County School Fair to be held IN
Decemb ber, at which every school is
urged TO make a display OF all work
done by the pupils: consisting OF every
kind OF school work. such as examlna-
tion papers, writing, drawing, paint.
ing, cookery, sewing, fancy work,
wood work, aud products OF the field
or garden. In fact. the field is to be
made so broad that everything pro-
duced or made will possesses value 10
the aggregate in the disply. Every
school is to have its own booth con-
tanning the exhibits Prizes to be a.
warded the schools entitled TO same
according to rules and regulations to
be made later on.
We will appreciate your attendance
and SUPPORT in all our efforts for the
betterment of educational work and
interest.

Teachers Examination.

Friday was busy day for County
Superintendent of Education Z. j.
Browne. AS per notice published in
The Times, there was q good turn out
of applicants 10 take the examinations
to teach school in this county. Ihe
following were the ones that took the
examination required by law.
Whites: Misses Amanda Holladay,
Bloomville: Adelia Holiday,
Bloomville; Emala Capers. Sum-
merton; Madelle Bagnal, Will
son; Ag gnes Daniel. Davis Sta
ton; Emily Broadway, Manning;
Louise Cutter, Paxville; Mar
garet Woods, New Zion; Messrs.
Able Strange, Wilson,; J. c. r.
win, Jordan: J. NJ. Chandler,
Alcolu; J. I. Wilson, Manning.
Colored: II. L. Toatley, Manning;
J. NJ. Witherspoon, Wilson; Eli
iah Seals. Davis Station: Anna
Seals, Davis Station; Evelyn Sim
gleton, and Henrietta Singleton,
Davis Station; George House,
Anna Hanberry, and Nellie Par
sons, Summerton.
There are about twenty-five hundred
white children of school age in Claren-
don county. One of the features OF
the school fair TO be held in December
will be parade which will start at
the Graded school building, march
down the street, thence around the
court house, and back to the fair
grounds. It is expected that of the
above number, that at least Two thou.
sand should be attending school at
that time, and that fifteen hundred or
more should be expected to attend and
take part in this grand parade. When
each school is 10 line, headed by their
respective teachers, it will make q
picture worth seeing. This parade
will afford the spectators a glimpse OF
the future citizens Of this county, and
the efforts to educate them TOR their
various stations in life. Nothing like
this has been attempted before, and if
all teachers, trustees, patrons and pu'
pills will go TO work with a vim from
now on, very creditable showing car
and will be made.

5atthyany's Black Pearl.

There is curious story OF the pre-
cious black pearl which Count Louis
Batthyany, the Hungarian revolution
ist, wore in his scarfpin. Sentenced to
death for his part in the rising OF 1913,
he gave the scarfpin to the valet who
attended him in prison. The valet be-
queathed it to his son. and the son de-
cided to sell it. 1t was taken to Buda-
pest to be valued. and there exhibited
in a jewelers. shop window. Crowds
assembled to stare at 1t. and the sus-
picionsI Of the Austrian police were
aroused. They instituted rigorous
inquiry and discovered. to their amaze
ment. that the pearl had been stolen
from the crown of England $50 years
before. The British government
bought 1t back. but no one has been
able TO discover by what means it nad
passed into the possession Of the Bat
thyany family.

0akdale School Opening.

Oakdale school opened Oct. 9th with
an enrolment of about seventy pupils,
and bids fair to have very successful
session with about one hundred pupils
later on. Although the teachers are
very small in size it is generally be-
leived that they have come with a
determined will to have excellent dis
cipline in our school. The corps OF
teachers consists of Miss Ethel Win
gate of Mayesville, Principal, Miss
Lessie Strange of Wedgefed, Inter
mediate Assistant and Miss Grace
Etheridge OF Sa'uda, Primary Assist
ant. The teachers felt very much
helped and inspired by the presence
of the trustees and patrons of the
school. Order of opening exercise
were as follows:
Prayer-Mr. J. s. Evans.
Son. ng-Showers of Blessing; School
Scripture Reading Miss Wingate.
Lords Prayer-School.
MIR. J. S. Evans made forcible talk,
speaking on the need Of education aod
the advantage of modern times. The
trustees made few remarks whereby
they encouraged the teachers with
promises of assistance and cooperation
during the session. The program end
ed with an urgent and inspiring talk
by the Principal.

The Sumter newspapers published
8 report which reflects upon two trust
ed officials of this county. It appears
that N. D. Thames and J. E. Gamble
deputies for Sheriff Gamble were out
with County Supervisor W. 4 Davis
in search for two escaped convlctS
from the Clarendon county chaingang
They had information which led them
to believe the escapes would come out
of certain piece of woods near the
John I. Brogden place in Sumter
county, Just over the Clarendon line;
they saw two negroes coming out OF
the woods at the place they were ex-
pecting them to come out into the.
road, they halted and approached
them to investigate, being satisfied
after the investigation they were not
the ones wanted, the two negroes
were allowed TO 90 on. The deputies
we're never out of the sight OF the
County S, ,ervisor. and two other per-
sons, and = :hey did not put their
hands ur-o her of the negroes. One
of the negro as has made the claim that
he was robbed of some three or four
dollars by the deputies, this was an
impossibility unless the deputies, the
supervisor, and two negroes who were
present acted in collusion. Messrs
Thames aud Gamble have been acting
as deputies for number OF years, aud
have always carried out their trusts
faithfully. Mr.. Thames has for years
been the collecting agent for num-
Der OF property owners in this town
and Sumter, he never has been sus-
pected OF any crookedness Those who
know these men regard the charge
made by the negro as maliciously ao.
surd. As soon as Mr.. Thames heard
of the report by the negro be call
ed up Mr.. Brogden on the telephone,
to tell him he was one OF the officers
that stopped the negroes. and gave
him full Information OF the whole
transactioc.

SUMMERTON.

It has been said that ''some men are
born great, Others achieve greatness,
and others have greatness thrust up
on them" In taking the correspon-
dence to the Times, the writer has
achieved greatness which will be
maintained only in proportion to the
news thrust upon him. Summertoo,
however being the great town that it
is, can be relied upon to do great
things, and "keep US with the Times. !"
Just as an index TO the character OF
her business men, We might mention
the improvements now going on one
street-Main Street. The property
formerly owned by Mr.. W. L. Brun-
son, adjacent to the buildings of the
Summerton Hardwa-~ Co., has been

The local cotton market does not
lack for buyers this season, and by
comparison with neighboring towns
of greater size it can be seen that it
is right in line. Besides the repre-
sentation of the the exporting houses
Of Rodgers. McCabe, and Maybank &
Co., there are several OF the "old re-
tables" buying individually. Indeed
it would seem from the appearance OF
a paper upon which various bids have
been put, that "everybody's doing it
