THOSE PRESENI..NE.Al ME-
ING JAN. IS, 1921.
The December meeting Of the Alb
beville County Teachers Association
was held in the court house at IL
o'clock Saturday morning. A goodly
number of the teachers Of the coun-
ty was present at this meeting and
each one was interested in making
plans for some really wonderful
meetings after the holiday season is
ovel.
supt. ]. D. Fulp of the Abbeville
City schools, president, called the
ueeting to order and stated that there
we're several matters of business to
come before the meeting. The sccre-
tary, Miss Annie CAN'T, having left
the state and the treasurer, Miss A.
lie Evans, having left the county,
these two Offices were declared va
cant and the first business completed
was the election of a new secretary
and a new treasurer. Miss Mittie
Cathcart, principal Of the Antreville
school was unanimously elected sec
retary and Miss Rebecca Jones Of the
,Abbeville schools was likewise elect
ed treasurer.
The executive committee retired
from the general meeting and held a
caucus regarding the amount OF dues
recommended to be assessed each
member Of the association and to rec
ommend the time and place Of the
next meeting. Prof. J. NJ. Daniel,
chairman Of the executive committee
reported that the committee unani-
mously recommended that the an
nual dues of the association be fixed
at $1.o0 and that the next meeting
of the association be held in the
graded school building In Abbeville
at 1890 p. m. Saturday, January
115th. Both these recommendations
of the executive committee were
adopted after some discussion. Mrs.
Charles Gillian Of the Warrenton
school, Miss McIlwain Of the Long
Cane school and Miss Genevieve An
derson of the Antreville school were
APPOINTED new members of the exc
cutive committee by President Fulp.
Misses May Robertson, Esther Todd
and Mrs. J. D. Wilson were appointed
a committee to arrange the program
for the January meeting.
Following the transaction of the
the business part of the program an
excellent address of Is minutes dur
alton was made the teachers present
by Rev. L. ]. Bristow, pastor of the
Baptist church, who was present by
request. The shortness of Mr.. Brls-
tow's timely remarks detracted from
an otherwise helpful address and the
teachers hope that Bro. Bristow will
next time he weets with them at least
double the length Of his part of the
program.
To Go After Teachers.
A valuable suggestion was made by
Mr.. Bristow which was placed before
the teachers and which has been re-
ferred to the secretary of the Able
Vile County Chamber Of Commerce.
This is that some half dozen automo-
: biles be secured to be- used January
Is to transport teachers from the
rural schools to the next meeting OF
the association. Some of the rural
teachers have no means Of convey
ance and especially those living at
Due West and Donalds and in these
neighborhoods cannot attend the
meetings of the associations by rail
without starting early and are unable
to return until after dark. Any teach
ers who wish transportation to the
January meeting are requested to
notify the president, Supt. j. D.
Fulp, at Abbeville not later than
Jan. 12 and efforts will be made to
bring them in and take them home.
"Feed the Brutes"
