However unjust it may be to any of the candidates that their e speeches are not prin ted verbatim f in the daily papers, it is certainly an immense relief to the great I masses that they do not have to v read through every day all this "who I am," "what I have done," and "what.L-.Lill: do, if elected." Instead d itieizing these papers for iving.Imgre reports, they ought to be thanked for giving the gist of the various speeches without making it necessary to S have to read them in full. a When the candidacy of Mr. C Lyon for attorney-general was 0 first announced, we expressed our i regrets at his entrance into pol- n itics just at this time, as we had a hoped that he would wait till his r work on the investigating com- a mittee was entirely concluded be- g fore seeking any political honors. But now that he is being hound- a a ed down for the faithful dis- s charge of the duties connected with his unpleasant task and h that it is made so clear that his defeat would be taken as a tri umph for the dispensary with 0 its inseparable corruption we want it distinctly understood t' that we are for him first and last. His election will be a tri umph for the right. d It is getting time, we think, to a let up for a few years on the 0 summer school. The teachers E are getting tired of them, and c rightly so, after attending from r year to year. Holdl up for a few I f years until another crop of teach- a ers come on.-Newberry Observer. c: But this pedagogical tree is V an ever bearing one. Each year u there is a new and larger crop of a teachers. As these new ones t] come in to take the place of those dropping out, they must t< have the very best training p possible. The summer school a offers very fine advantages for ec their study and for their getting 3 acquainted with their fellow- " teachers. While certain limita- " tions have allowed of so few a changes in the course of study, that it would necessarily become ci monotonous to a teacher. to at- p tend yearly, yet it must b:3b.orne al in mind that in a large measure n the experience of attending one n of these normals is a very new c thing to these new teachers and t4 proves very fruitful to them. There are no doubt changes i that could be made that would ai make these schools even more re effective than at present. In ti the first place there is decided p need for reducing their number. 11 This diminishing process that a has been started through the li district schools needs to be. carried still farther till there are 1 not more than three summer schools in the state. These C -schools are not so much for the 03 purpose of doing academic work t1 with teachers, whose place is in m the school* room in - the winter months as pupils, but are for the purpose of helping teachers in the work of teaching,-not merely instructing them, but opening the way for a better use of their w present equipments. A reduction SI in the number of courses, a chang e gi from the purely class room work cz to something that is not so much bi shop-like, and the employment of ta the very best teachers for the ti few subjects to be taught are some of the ways in which teach- w ers can be induced to attemd It from year to year and of increas- in ing the value of the training to q the new teachers that come in. st By abolishing all the county R schools, which, with one or two cc exceptions are but poorly attend- cc ed and are lacking in professional p: uplift, these ideals may be reach- sa ed. Conducting these summer ol schools on this high plane might fe not mean quite so large an at- if * tendance so far as numbers are d< concerned, but it is safe to pre- se dict that the attendance would tc represent a better grade of sa teachers and would be composed ha more largely of teachers whose ce faces have become faimiliar on the tr campus by virtue of their con- ti: tinuous coming. .h CetrReporter Changes Hands. jn After 32 years of continuousm and faithful service as editor of ar the Chester Reporter, Mr. Jno. H. bc Buchanan retires from the tripod, fa: having sold his paper to Messrs Perkins and 1rwin. Mr. Perkins Cr 'has been in Chester for several c;. years, having come there as a ha printer in the Lantern office, and by determined application had 1 become foreman and a good one. mo Mr. Irwin has for several months dri acted as reporter for the Lantern. No oted to their work and we feel are will do well. But somehow ,e hate to see Editor Buchanau ive up his connection with the aper. Personally we always -ad it with pleasure. There was charm of personality and humor bout it that but few papers pos ess Now that our editorial riend has given up his work, we rust that he will find more time or being in the county of his iirth and that we shall have the >leasure of enjoying being with im more. There is a pathos in Is valedictory, which is written 2 that same high spirit that has ver characterized whatever came rom his pen, and that shows in rhat a large measure a newspa ier man is wrapped up in his rork. RETIREMENT. "Almost a generation has prassed inee the writer took charge of M columns of The Chester Re orter. The files which cover a eriod of mbre than 30 years, are omething of a history of Chester nd Chester county. Events of nportance have been faithfully hronicled. The warp and woof f these years are strangely in. Drwoven and intertwined. Good ews and sad news, funeral dirges nd merry wedding chimes, have ng in -the same columns, making medley of sorrow and joy, of riefs and gladness. "And now to the task, and it is peculiarly sad one to me, of %ying farewell to the readers of 'he Reporter. For 32 years I ave tried to shape in the right irection the policy of the paper. uring these years, the best years f my life, I have worked as best might for the good of my home )wn and county. It has been a bor of love. "The pen is laid down now with 1e reflection that I have tried to o right, have tried to be fair to L, and have never intentionally r knowingly wronged any one. rrors have been committed, of >urse, but I carry with me in my )tirement the consciousness of ie rectitude of my purposes and ims at all times and under all ircumstances. If any have been -ronged or wounded in these col mns, I am sincerely sorry for it, ad would here and now make ie amende honorable. "With charity to all and malice )ward none, my duties have been erformed during these long years - best I could. The mantle of iarity and silence has often been read over shortcomings and rong doings, the publication of ich would have brought pain d shame to relatives and friends. "Law and order and everything alculated to build up and make rosperous this section have been avocated. Scandals have found c place in these columns, and Lat line written which a father >uld not read to wife or daugh "To my brethren of the press iroughout the State I gratefully hnowledge the many courtesies ~ceived at their hands.

It may be a weakness of the mind, or it may be a family fail ing, or it may be a fonduess for recollections of days gone by, or it may be one of a thousand other reasons besides "value received" that induces a Fairfield boy to keep up the old habit of taking The News and Herald, but bc the reason what it may, it is an estib lished fact, that once a Fairfield boy, always a Fairfield boy and a copy of The News and Herald somewhere around the home. My copy comes regularly on Wednesday mornings, and no mat ter how busy I may be, I always find time to read it from "kiver to kiver"-advertisements and a)l. Yes, I mean it--"lountains of Gold," "Postmaster Robbed," "Fortunate Missourian," and all the rest. Yes, even the "An nouncements of the Caudidates;" and really the last mentioned is the sole explanation of this letter. Had it not been that the issue of the 27th inst. .contained the an nouncement of a candidate for the house of representatives which was of more than ordinary interest to me, I would not have given myself the trouble to write this letter. I always thought the good peo ple of Fairfield knew a good thing, and I will believe to my last day that they know a good man, and it gives me pleasure to see that progress along this line is being kept up. But to business and to the purpose of this letter. I see that the friends of Charles Henry Leitner have taken it upon themselves to announce him as a candidate for the house of repre sentatives. Well, about all that I care to say is, that some people, be they who they may, in my humble judgment, sare dead set on having Fairfield represented by a Representative Man. Now, understand right here, I am not discounting any other man in the race., There are good ones, no doubt of that. Fairfield has ever had a strong representation in the house, and will continue to have so long as such men stand for election as- are now announced in The News and Herald. The point I wish to make is simply this: It is a great pleasure to me to see the old Bethel neighbor hood step right up to the firing line when the call for a man comes and say, "Here he is!" I don't know what Charles' platform is, the fact is Idon't care. He is a man, and that is a whole lot "bigger" than a plat form or politics either-a young man, a good man, and an educated man. I wish I could vote for him, for I always love to vote for just such a man; but I can't always get a chance to do as I please, so all that I can do in this case is to say, "Go it, Charles!" Yours truly, Marion B. Jennings. Yorkville, S. 0., June 27, 1906. Only 82 Years Old. "I am only 82 years old and don't expect even when I get to be real old to feel that way as long as I can get Electric Bitters," says Mrs. E. H. Brunson, of Dub lin, 'Ga.

Winnsboro's loss will ~e tbe gain of the University of outh Carolina: to which institu ion he goes at associate pro assor of pedagogy, having been lected at a special meeting of [e board of trustees held Satur ay. The notite of his. election ras received with nmuch regret ere in Winnsboro, where Mr. laker is so greatly esteemed as a educator and as a man. His ork in the school room has been f the very highest order and the upils prepared under him have eflected great credit upon him s a teacher. On aceount of his iarked int-"rest in all that tended >thle up building of Winnisboro, e was elected president of the omnmercial Club at its organiza on. In the fraternal orders and 1 his church he was also a very seful man. His place will not e an easy one to fil. While his resignati on has not et been 'acted upon by the board f trustees, it is certain that it 'ill be accepted, as they, while agretting so much to lose Mr. taker, can riot afford to stand in ae way of his promotion so eservedly won. The position > which Mr. Baker is elected is ue of great prof.essional pro iinence, as he will be a member f the school of education, which as been organized in the Univer [ty of South Carolina f or teacher ~aiuing. The other members of is pedagogical department are >r. Patterson Wardlaw, who is [so pleasantly remembered as a >rmer p:-in cipal of Mt. Zion In titute, and Mr. W. H. Harnd, ho recentiy resigned the sup eintendency of the C h e s t e r 'raded School to accept a posi on in the same. With these iree exp~erienced and able school en the school of education is are to prove a very great suc ms. 'With advancements of so uch significance as the addition two such able men as Messrs aker and Hand to one depart ent, it wi!! be~ seen that the iange of "South Carolina Col ge" to the "University of South a~rolina" is go'ing' to be more an a mere change in name.
