Education. State Superintendent of Education J. E Swearlngcn has written s letter to Senator J. EA Sherard in which he suggests certain changes which he would have made in the office of County Superintendent of Education J. n. Felton. The suggestions, If car ried out, lt is said, would add greatly to tho efficiency of the office. Thc let ter received by Mr. Sherard will bc reforred to the county delegation to thc general assembly, when it meets next Thursday at noon for the pur- ' pose of taking up the budget for 191.1 and hearing petitions with reference to proposed legislation. The letter in question ls as fallows: "In connection with the educational situation In An derson County, I am venturing to urge you to strengthen the county su perintendent's office by three Im provements. First, a four-year term. , Second, making of this term begin ; July 1st Instead of January 1st as at ? present. Third, efficient helpers for tlie superintendent In his work. Only 12 counties now retain the two-year term. The county superintendent ; elected In 1914 and entering upon this , two year term in 1915 has no oppor- , tunlty to do constructive service be- , foro be ls called upon to enter bis second campaign In 1916. An Im provement of this kind would greatly help Anderson County schools. Chang ing superintendents in January rath er than July needs no explanation or criticism when one is discussing the 1 situation with a former teacher. In connection with the efficiency Of the schools In Anderson County, I should 1 like to see the superintendent given, a living salary, an office bookkeeper, a woman supervisor of class-room methods and a woman supervisor. Those improvements would entail some expense, but the two first sug gestions would cost nothing.

Anderson people will be Interest ed in the following account of the ex ploits at checkers by Capt. F. B. Fishburne who formerly ran between Anderson and Greenville as conduc tor on Gae gas-electric car of the' Southern Ballway. The article ls sent out from Waycross, Ga. Playing ten games of checkers at the same time without seeing any ot the checker boards or keeping any written record of the moves made, for bim on the boards, ls the record made by F. D. Fishburn, a Southern Railway pas- j senger conductor, whose run is from Columbia, 8. C.. to Jacksonville. Mr. Fishuuru recently gave a demonstra tion of his ability as a checker player in Jesup. near Waycross, where he played four boards at once In the same manner he played ten not long ago. He won the four games with ease. Each board ls numbered, say one, two, three and four, and each square on the boards are also num bered. One man represents Mr. Fish burn at all boards, moving from table to table aa Mr. Fishburn directs the moves. First move being give* the opponent at table I. Rr. Fishburn says: "Move from 8 to 10 for me." At table 2 directions are given, and so on until a move ls made ai each table, and Uten Ute stunt is repeated until Gie gamea are brought to a conclusion. Not once during the game does Mr. Fishburn as much aa cast a glance at tho boards, and he never makes any notes on Gae progress of the game at either table. He uses his head for each table. Checker enthusiasts of this entire secUon hsve becomo deeply Interested lo Gie game as played by Ute railroad expert, and efforts are be ing made to arrange a ten-board game during the next week at Jesup. It 1 this can ba done, the beat players from , Waycross and other surrounding towns will hike to Jesup and see If i they can not check the record ot Mr. Fishburn. The outcome of this check- 1 er battle will be awaited with con siderable Interest. o ? ' Oldest Firm tn Ctty fe Hoting. The work of removing the stock ot j gooda ot the C. A.
