gratifying. He said that last year
out of As counties in the State Ches-
terfield was fortieth in the list per
capita. but that already this year she
vas pushing close to tenth place and
he felt sure she would land safely In
tenth place before the close OF the
year. Last year Chesterfield raised
only about Sc per capita for education
al purposes, and this year the per cap
tia has already been increased to a
little more than $13, and he gave the
teachers and trustees associations the
credit. saying that without the hearty
cooperation he had received from
them he could have accomplished very
little, and he went on to say that the
hearty cooperation of the teachers and
the trustees was bearing great fruit
in all of the schools. He stated that
there were only five school districts in
the county that had no special levy
for the benefit of their schools, but
that at least three Of these will hold
elections in the near future AS an IL
lustration of the general interest be-
ing taken in the cause of education in
the county, Mr.. Rouse told of instan-
ces where the people went down in
their pockets and subscribed liberal
ly. in addition to voting for special
levys. Mr.. Rouse also called attention
to the Summer School for teachers.

The meeting was a very enthusiastic
one and there is no doubt but that
great good is being accomplished.
Cheraw was glad to have the teach
ers and trustee of the county with her
and hopes to have them with her
again and yet again.
Now for Field Day Let every one
join hands with the County Superin-
sendent and the County Supervisor of

able to move about the grounds for
the last year only by the use Of
Icrutch.
Mr. Gidiere was born August S.
1884, and in 1861 enlisted as a pri-
vate in the South Carolina Rangers.
He had been in bad health for some
time, but his death yesterday, which
occurred some hours after that Of
MIR. DeMerritt, was rather sudden.
Another recent death at the Sol

of Anderson, which occurred Febru-

for this Joint meeting was for the pur-

arranging for Field Day which is to

parting shot" to-the General As
sembly reached the Senate at an early
hour today. 1t read as follows, be-
ing Message No. 81:
81 have no further communication
for you during this session for which
know you are thankful and God
knows i am. have nothing further
to say to you gentlemen, but during
the campaign this summer, if no bad
luck happens, when 1 get around to
your county Seats, I shall endeavor
to let my position be known ON the
various matters which have come up
before me.
while my friends have been in
the minority and could not pass any
legislation ct Che sessions Of the
legislature during the years 1913 and
1914, we have had one very pleasant
consolation, viz: we have kept from
passing what We did not want you to
pass by use of the veto.
Sometimes the Governors veto has
been overridden, but he has no crouch.
If it pleases his friends, it pleases
him more, because when he displeases
his enemies he feels that he has done
right
81 do not wish all of you political
success, but I wish you good health
and Godspeed"
