Valuable New Metal.

A new invention called conducting
aluminium, which is said to be Great
ing profound impression, has been
made by DR.. George Giulini. the most
famous expert in the aluminium trade,
states Consul Philip Holland, Basel
Switzerland, in a recent report. This
new metal is produced by putting the
ordinary aluminium through a special
patented process, by which it acquires
the same mechanical qualities and
capacities as bronze, copper and brass
without changing its specific weight. 1t
is said that the price of the new metal
can be kept within very low limits.
so that, even at the pre-war prices of
other metals, it will be able, by reason
of its smaller specific weight, to com
pete with copper and brass very favor
ably. The fact that the new metal IS
a conductor will make 1t especially in
demand in the electrical trade.

A happy reunion took place at the

other evening, when Mrs. P. J. Riley

their doom at the hands of the exc

During a heavy rainstorm the other
afternoon the animals were stolen
from the pasture and driven to the
Stockyards and sold. County detec-

hundreds of other 'bossies" were I'M
able to identify them. Mrs. Riley was
sent for. AS she stepped into the big
pen a stampede among the animals for
time threatened serious conse-
quences. When it had subsidized, the
detectives who were with Mrs. Riley
were amazed to see four Of the cows
rushing toward the woman. Brushing
their heads against her shoulder, the
animals zooed and mooed soft express

grasped each around the neck in turn,
stroking their glossy coats and petting
them.
When their mistress left the big

Obediently as well-trained dogs, and
when last seen were vending their
way to their home on Fox Chase road
with their mistress.

Whatever he taught, whether Latin,
Algebra, Arithmetic or Geometry,
he thought it out anew every time
he went over it. For him no subject
ever grew stale, but retained a
perennial charm as part of uni
versal truth. His fresh zeal was
contagious and boy could not
help but be inspired with ambition
to learn. No textbook was covered
by him merely for the sake of COW
ering it. He taught a subject to
master it and to understand it in all
it's relations. He realized that the
chief end of education is to pre-
pare for life, not to make living;
that it is only through this ability
that he can fulfill his highest
function in the world.

ways won immediate recognition
from him. Ever ready to help hon

intolerant of sham. The recalci-
trant or discouraged boy aroused
his special interest, and many a one
has been awakened ~ him to a
realization of the dignity of work
and accomplishment.
No teacher ever held the esteem
of his earnest pupils more than he.
And a better testimonial of this es-

the fact that when two pupils of

A. r. BANKS
AN APPRECIATION

Prof. Banks was the father of
sfrs. J. Allen Long of this city, and
had many friends in Abbeville.
Editor.
On February 25, 1920, the whole
State was saddened by the an
nouncement of the death of Mr. A.
r. Banks which occurred at Ridge
way, S. C. Except for slight
bronchial trouble, he had been en-
loving his usual robust health until
about two weeks before his death,
when he developed influenza and
was never sasse to,ieave his bed.
Mr.. Banks was born on May 27,
1s47, in Chester County, the son of
a prominent Presbyterian minister,
and was graduated with distinction
from Davidson College in the class
of 1869. Immediately upon leaving
college, he began his work as a
teacher which he continued unin-
terruptedly for fifty-one consecu-
tive years. His first school was in
Fort Mill, c., but owing to the
political situation at the time, he
was forced to leave the state in
1872. He went to Tuscaloosa, Ala,
where he established a school for
boys. After an absence of three
years, he returned to his native
state never to leave it again.
In 1875 he established at Fort
Mill preparatory school for boys
which soon gained such a reputa-
ton as to attract young m EN- not
only from all over South Carolina
but from neighboring states as
well. The men from this school al
ways took a high rank wherever
they went, andi possibly no prepara-
tory school in the state Of recent
times has sent out larger proper
ton of it's men to become dis
tinguished in later life. Men in all
fields of activity, business men,
lawyers, doctors, teachers and
preachers, owe their success in no
small measure to the thoroughness
of the training they received at the
Banks School.
It was in 1888 that Mr.. Banks
went to Rock Hill and established
the first graded school in South
Carolina. After several years OF
successful labor he gave up his pub
fio school work and founded the
Presbyterian High School in Rock

Christmas before his death, sent
Mr.. Banks card, which he cherish
ed till the last. 1t bore the simple
inscription: "From the oldest to the
best teacher in South Carolina"
By the death of this great teach
er and bighearted man, the State,
to which he devoted a long life Of
sacrifice and toll, has lost one of
it's most loyal and useful citizens.
To him if to anybody may be fit
tingly applied the words of a poet
he knew and appreciated: "Exegi

Mill. Thinking that York offered a

Mill. Thinking that York offered a
more attractive field for private
school, he went there, but after
couple of years he returned to
Rock Hill to take charge Of the Ca
tawba Academy Here he remained
until 1902 when he went to Ker-
shaw and Lancaster successlvely. In
1908 he was chosen superintendent
of the Hyatt Park School, and re-
mained in or near Columbia until
he went to Ridgeway last Septem-
ber.
No sketch of Mr.. Banks activi-
ties would be complete, however,
without a mention of the fact that
wherever he went, he was always
followed by a large number OF
boys, frequently former pupils,
who wished to place themselves un-
his tutelage. For it was conceded
that if boy had anything in him,
Mr.. Banks would get it out.
Mr.. Banks efforts were not COM
fined to the class room. Hen enter
ed heart and soul into the work OF
the community in which ne happen
ed to be, and at once became
leader in it's life. Every form OF
social and church work felt the in
fluence of his commanding per-
sonality. There is hardly a town IN
which he labored that does not owe
its school building to it's initiative.
From the very first he took lead
ing part in the organization and up
building of the State Teachers As
sociation, being one of its charter
members. And every movement to
raise the standard of the teaching
profession of our State and to bet
ter it's condition received his en-
thusiastic support. AS member OF
The. State Board of Education for
many years, he through his wise
copnsel and unceasing activities
played large part in shaping the
educational policies Of the State.
For one who owes his intellectual
rebirth to him, it is as a teacher
that Mr.. Banks stands out massive.
Yet it is difficult to analyze the
qualities to which success of this re-
markable man was due. And any at
tempt will seem inadequate. II
there was one quality. that was
more characteristic of him than
any other, it was his energy-ener-
Egy physical, intellectual and
spiritual. Endowed with a keen'
logical mind, tempered by thorough

Jim Comes Out of His Delirium-So
Deb Isn't Needed
So Deborah Burns, the finest girl
/ have ever known, came and went
in the hospital as freely as Jim's
wife ought to have done. And Ann
Lorimer was put to bed at home and
cared for by a trained nurse. Ann
likes to be nursed. A small indispo-
siton affords her a grand excuse for
Q rcxulAr org of laziness.
Deborah looked like a goddess Of
remuneration, I thought, as / took
her over to the hospital. She was
immaculate in white dimity and she
wore q nurses cap on her smooth
crown, and her shining cropped
curls made a lovely halo above her
calm brow.
The internes were quite fascinat-
ed, wherefore some of the prettier
nurses came suddenly critical of
Miss Burns. Inevitably, their gos-
sip about Jim's delirium crept out
side the hospital walls. But it didn't
matter; If only our Jimmy-boy got
well, nothing else mattered to Deb.
Deb. always at hand to be called
to Jim's bedside, had never been so
beautiful. Her face was illumined
by some great determination. Per-
haps Jeanne dare looked so when
she went to the stake.
Jim never recognized her, at any
time. His inhibitions prevailed when
she was with him. but he smiled
when she spoke, and went to sleep
only when she held his hand. He
certainly lived through a peculiar
kind of a double life while his fever
lasted.

Keyport Scouts Active
BY Special Correspondent.
KEYPORT, Oct. 7:-Now that
cool weather has arrived the vari-
Gus scout activities in the borough
will begin in earnest. Already there
are four troops of scouts here, each
containing a large membership, the
Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal and a
colored troop. All of these troops
are active and special programs are
being arranged for the coming sea-
son by the scoutmasters in connec
ton with the deputy scout execu-
tives.
On October s a meeting will be
held here, this being the Keyport
District Scoutmasters' Roundtable,
when a good attendance is desired.
Arrangements last year were made
whereby 1.-The our of honor sits
in the borough, making it unneces-
sary for scouts to take examinations
for promotion out of town as for
merly. This has materially helped
the local scout troops.
