NT-TEACHERS'
MEETING AT BUFFALO

Prof. Fuller, Of the Union High
school, addressed the teachers and a
number of patrons of Buffalo GRADED
school last Friday. Prof. Fuller's sub
iect was "The Man of Tomorrow" In
his address he emphasized the fact
that there are two kinds of education
constructive and destructive. He
stressed the fact that an education
that does not enable a person to ex-
press the best that is within him
morally, mentally and spiritually in
the simplest terms and in the most
common placed things of life, is de-
structive. His address was a master
ly one and greatly enjoyed by the
teachers. and others who were present.
Mr.. Shuford, the principal. expects
to make these monthly meetings ben
efcial. not only Co the teachers but
also to the patrons of the school.
Superintendent Davis Jeffries, of the
Union school, will address the meet
ing in October. 1t is sincerely hoped
that greater number of the patrons
will avail themselves of the emporium
ity to attend these ,arent-teachers'
meetings.

HAS FIGURED 1T ALL OUT.
And Says the European War Will End
in the Year 1918.
Greenwood Index.)

The Index man, who rambles
around now and then, rambled into
Capt. c. A. G. Waller yesterday. who
told him that if he had time he would
write out for this good family news
paper proof from the Book of Reve-
lation that the great war will end in
january, 1918. He said that some fell
low asked him if he could handle the
mathematics of the concern" and
that he told him he could, and had it.
And he has it logically figured out
gnat 1t is interesting even if the nre-
diction fails.
In . hurried conversation along the
street it is impossible to take notes.
Mental notes are not always safe.
But the newspaper man brought awav
the fact that Capt. Waller bases his
calculations on the fifth and eigh-
teenth chapter of the Book of Reve-
ltationS-it is mighty hard not to stick
An "sy ION this, as most folks will
persist In doing.
The Index Bible gives these verses
~ Follows:
And there was given unto him a
mouth speaking great things and

i1Srser, and he will run his race in
forty-two months. This will mean the
end of him and his power by jan
uary ,1918. Now, there are six let
ters in the word kaiser, and Capt.
waller says put the figure six down
on one side and then consider that the
letter "k", the first letter of kaiser,

eleven by six and you get six hundred
and sixty-six. Then read the 18th
verse of this same chapter of the
Book of Revelation. 1t reads: "Here
is wisdom. Let him that hath under
standing count the number of the
BEAST. for it is the number of a man:
and his number is six hundred three
score and six" And if you don't be-
lieye it, look it up yourself.
Capt. Waller says he has figured it
out half dozen ways, and has prom
lsed to write these out for The Index:
and that he will prove it beyond a
shadow of a doubt. .

Cast Deciding Ballot for Murray,

White Man, for Congress a
Number of Years Ago.

Columbia, Oct. 4.-Despite the pro-
tests of number of well-known ne
groes, some alumni of Allen Univer-
slty, Cole l.. Blease, former governor
OF South Carolina, was the principal
speaker at the opening of that insti-
tuition here today. He was introduced
and highly lauded by the Rev. w. D.
Chappelle, d. D., Bishop of the A.
M. +. Church, who declared that Mr..
Blease was foremost among all the
governors of the State. In asking by
petition that the invitation to Mr..
Blease be withdrawn, the protestants
declared, ut will greatly embarrass
our wives and daughters to have ex-
Governor Blease speak to them since
ne mas spoken so harshly in the courts
and on the stump againt the virtues
OIL the negro women, and the respect
and decency of the negroes i'm gen
eral:" This petition was ignored, and
the Bishop today was somewhat scath-
ing IN his rebuke of those alumni
and former students of Allen who had
presumed to dictate the policies of a
great church.
WHO are they anyhow" the high
churchman asked. In answer to his
own query, he said: "They are not
known beyond their own back yards"
In the course of his remarks, Mr..
Blease boasted that it was he who
cast the deciding vote when George
Murray, a negro of Sumter county,
was made congressman instead of
Noise, a white man also of Sumter.

the white people have not only learned
to steal from the negroes, but that
they have learned to steal from them
Selves" he declared.
The speaker explained that he had
often been misunderstood by the ne
groes. He charged that the negroes
were chisseled out of a portion of the
taxes which they pay, when it comes
to making apportionment between
white and negro schools. He urged
the young negroes to aim high, to be
truthful and shop"st, reminding that.

JEWISH HOLIDAY TO
BE OBSERVED HERE
PETITION UNIVERSITY
PROTESTING BLEASE

Wednesdays Columbia Record)
Claiming that cit will greatly en-
barrass our wives and daughters to
have Ex-Governor Blease to speak to
them," several negroes of Columbia
have gotten up a petition protesting
against the former governor making
an address at the meeting of Allen
university, negro institution of high
er learning, here tomorrow, asking
that the invitation to him be recalled.
The petitioners based their claim of
embarrassment" on the plea that ex-
Governor Blease "has spoken so
harshly in the courts and on the stump
against the virtue of negro women
and the respect and decency of the
negroes in general and on every oc-
against negro education and negro
schools"
The petition, which is addressed to
President R. w. Nance and the fac
ulty of Allen university, in which at
tention was called "to the published
notice in the newspapers that ex-Gov-
ernor c. l.. Blease will speak at the
opening of Allen university" was
handed to the press by l.. A. Haw-
kins, negro, with a request for pub
lication. The petition follows:
"To President R. w. Nance and fac
ulty of Allen University, Columbia,
S. c.:
"Dear Sirs: We, the patrons of AL
len university, and members and
friends of A. NJ. E. church, beg to call
your attention to the published no.
tice in the newspapers that ex-Gov-
ernor C. l.. Blease will speak at the
opening of Allen university on the
4th of October, next. We ask that
you recall this invitation, as it will
greatly embarrass our wives and
daughters to have Ex-Governor Blease
speak to them, since he has spoken
so harshly in the courts and on the
stump against the virtue of negro
women and the respect and decency
of the negroes in general and on every
occasion has from time to time spoken
against negro education and nepro
schools.

the unkind predicament upon us now.

titioners will ever pray that the re-
lief sought herein be granted forth

LETTER FROM OAKLAND.

Oakland, Oct. 3.-This season of
the year calls for as much work o.,
the farm as does early spring when
the piow must needs be started, if
anything the work should be extended
more rapidly now because the gather
ing OF crop ought not be neglected.
Not a little attention is being applied
to the making of hay for the pas,
few days. This can be evidenced by
viewing the large hay stacks about
the barn yards which indicate that
there is not enough house room to
store the roughness in. The pea crop
is shorter this year than for mar
years past The Unknown pea has
certainly acquired the narne to which
the variety was christened when dis
this year.
Cotton is selling for 16M cents per
pound today, a very good LIVING price
to be sure if a fellow had some to
sell but rather small comparing 6 to
lo bales to the plow last year with
and bales this year or in ether
words S162.5O for two bales this wear
against $375.00 for six bales last wear
difference of $112.5O, enough to
hnance the expenditures of small
iamlly during crop time. 1. would
have to be around 80 cent, or the
rise to make the purses equivalent
to each other.
Oakland school opened it's doors on
the 18th of September for the fall

Editor Union Times:
Dear Sir: This is to say that
have resigned as pastor of the Mon
Aetna Baptist church to go into eff
feet Dec. 81, that being the end of
my fourth years work. During this
time there have been more than 25J
additions to the church. Almost 100
of this number by baptism. So far
this year more than so have been
added. There has not been a dis
senting vote in all our business meet
ings. This year the church is in bet
ter condition than it has ever been,
with membership of more than $50
and good board of deacons and a
fine Sunday school under the leader

a good field for some man. I believe
it is one of the best cotton mill
churches in the State.

view. They appointed pulpit COM
mittee. of which Bro. G.. P. Godshall
is chairman.

1t has been great pleasure to be
where could send our children to
the Union schools. Under their good
leaders there are none better in the
State. Everybody of all denomina-
tions have been exceedingly kind to
me and mine, for which I thank God.
Both these mills have nice Christian
gentlemen for bosses. I love them
all.
1t will be no trouble for this church
to get better preacher, but they
will never get one who loves them
more than the present pastor.

cause I am dissatisfied, but my love
for my masters cause makes me feel
that perhaps the church will do bet
