rocking in their seats, helpless and
spent. The neighborhood of Mrs. Scho-

relative was shown and, finally, the
drunkard's picturesque behavior at the
portals Of a madhouse.
So fascinated was Penrod that he
postponed his departure until this film
came round again, by which time he
had finished his unnatural repast and
almost, but not quite, decided against
following the profession of drunkard
when he grew up. :,
Emerging, satiated, from the theater,
a public timepiece before a jeweler's
shop confronted him with an unex-
pected dial and imminent perplexities.
How was he to explain at home these
steadfast rule that he return direct
from Sunday school, and Sunday rules
were important because on that day
there was his father, always at home
and at hand, perilously ready for ac-
ton. One Of the hardest conditions of
boyhood is the almost continuous strain
put upon the powers of invention by
the constant and harassing necessity
for explanations of every natural act.
Proceeding homeward through the
deepening twilight as rapidly as posi-
BILE at a gait half skip and half canter,
Penrod made up his mind in what
manner he would account for his long
delay and as he drew nearer rehearsed
in words the opening passage of his
defense.
"Now, see here" he determined to
begin. 81 do not wish to be blamed
for things 1 couldn't help nor any 9th
er boy. l was going along the street
by a cottage and a lady put her head
out of the window and said her hus
band was drunk and whipping her
and her little girl, and she asked me
wouldn't come in and help hold him.
So I went in and tried to get hold Of
this drunken lady's husband where he
was whipping their baby daughter, but
he wouldn't pay any attention, and
told her l ought to be getting home,
At this point he reached the corner
Of his own yard, where coincidence
not only checked the rehearsal of his
eloquence but happily obviated all oc-
casion for it. A cab from the station
drew up in front of the gate, and there
descended a troubled lady in black
and a fragile little girl about three.
Mrs. Schofield rushed from the house
and EMBODIED both in hospitable arms.
They were Periods Aunt Clara and
cousin, also Clara, from Dayton, Ill.
and In the furry Of their arrival every
body forgot to put Penrod to the ques-
ton. 1t is doubtful, however, If he felt
any relief; there may have been even
slight, unconscious Disappointment, not
altogether dissimilar to that Of an
actor deprived of good part.
In the course of some really necessa-
nv preparations for dinner he stepped
from the bathroom into the pink and
white bedchamber of his sister and adj
dressed her rather thickly through
towel.

SPLENDID ADDRESS
HEARD BY TEACHERS
Dr.. Poteat President Frman Un-
iversity Delivered Masterful
Address

The meeting yesterday Of the An
derson County Teachers Association,
at West Market street school, was
one of the most interesting and help
full that has been held in months. The
feature of the meeting was an ad-
dress by DR.. +. NJ Poteat, president
OF Furman University, Greenville,
S. C.
The Scripture reading was by DR..
j. F. Vines, pastor of the First Bap-
tist church, while prayer was made
by the Few. Mr.. Garrison, pastor OF
the A. r. p. church. Another inter-
esting feature of the meeting was
violin solo by Mr.. r. &. Cooper,
director of the orchestra at The An
derson theatre. Mr.. Cooper's talent
is well known and appreciated
throughout the city. in spite of the
fact that he has been here, but q
short while. A reading from Tenny-
sons Lady Glare was given BY Miss
Arnold of Williamson and was high
lily appreciated.

that the task confronting South Car
olina today is an educational one.
A"S sS'SoHu tnouShL VI the duureSs
was that the State needs better
schools or rather to improve on itu
methods OF teaching. The third
thought that the speaker advanced
was that above all things The child is
taught 1t should be taught to read.
