SUMMER SCHOOL. For the Colored Teacher* of thin Section. , The Summer school for colored teachers of the counties of Anderson, ( Abbeville, ^ewoerry, jpjugeueiu auu Greenwood, convened Tuesday morning, July llth, in Ferguson and Williams College at Abbeville, S. C. Unusual interest was manifested by the teachers, eighty of whom were enrolled tbe first day. Itev. E. W. Wil- 1 liams and Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, as- I sisted by Mis9 Janie B. We9ton of ' Charleston, S. C., constitute the facul- 1 ty of the school. ' There is every evidence of a pleasant 1 and profitabls session. Theschoolco itinues one month. The following is the opening address ' of Rev. E. W. Williams, Principal of I the school : Ladies and gentlemeu and fellow 1 foonhprn nf Western South Carolina: I regard it a high privilege as well 1 as an honor to meet you on an occa- 1 slon like this. ' I have no words by which rightly ' to express my high appreciation of the ( ways of God that have made it possi- < ble for us to meet in this Summer , school. Neither have I any language ] sufficiently strong and impressive to ! give you an adequate and just idea of I the value and importance of this nigh ' ? t ? iifi no o fonQ 1 privilege iu uo as a im,t. We have only to lift up our eyes and see the circumstances and conditions ' under which we fiud ourselves, if we ' would know how fully and rightly to ' value and appreciate the blessing that ' is conferred upon us in being called together in this Institute to be instruct- ' ed as teachers of our race. "A force is measured by the resist- 1 ance which it is able to overcome, and ? ?? the overcoming of resistance intensifies. force." May I not apprehend that this body ofeolored teachers here assembled is the force that is to resist ignorance f and crime which are making such wonderful inroads upon the race In all parts of our land ? r T w/vfViio nrtiorh. 1>1 &y X IlUl appicucuu turn* wuio ty force by overcoming these evils is to \ be intensified until ignorance and < crime shall be banished from our bord- | era as a race? It behooves us now to inquire dilli- I gently as to what is our mission here, J what is the kind and character of the 8 work we have in hand ? It goes without the saying, that, because of tbe ^ peculiar circumstances and conditions t that surround us, tbe obligations and f *mrmaibilities that rest upon us as a ? great race and people in this country, f with destinies and proclivities that are essentially our own, the time has lc come when we as teachers of this race f mu9t lay more seriously to heart the vastness of the work that God has laid v upon us to perform. It has fallen to c our lot to be the moulders of the life v and character of the Negro race in this f country and especially in this south- d laud. Never aid a more solemn and 1 important obligation rest upon any r people. The Negro race in the South t aod throughout tne country is to oe what we the teachers aDd leaders of ? the people make it, and our mission a here is to determine upon that sUuctard 8 to the height of which we propose to e lift the people aDd the race. i As lODg as it remains true that edu- fL cation is the bulwark of the nation, t just so long will it be true that the c kind and character of the education given must be watched. I We must see that it is tempered by t Christianity and infused with virtue ' and sound morality. ? Else the nationsstrength become also its weakness and its destruction. ' Need I tell you fellow teachers of [ Western South Carolina that there are b very potent evidences that not only " we as a race, but the nation of which j, we form a part is greatly at fault t along these lines? The demand of J the day is not only for an education y but for an education that educates, g saves and remodels the man or the u woman into a higher and nobler f, being. s Ti"i (tomonH nf thA hour is that all P the people shall be so educated that B the cation itself shall be lifted into a ii more exalted sphereand into a reverent ? devotion to God and the honor of his e cause. There is a wail and a cry coming up from all parts of our land and indeed the world over, that education is failing to meet the end for which it was designed. People having had great educational advantages and who are educated ac- < cording to the popular idea of education are perfect failures when it comes to the practical issues of life. C Hundreds and thousands who canjg boast of what is commonjy canea e education are total failures in the | great race of life ; they fill the prison | houses of our land. d Only today I read the following from 1 the pen of Booker T. Washington re- r ferring to the Negro race he says : "There is too much crime among us. The figures for a given period show that in the United States, 30 per cent of the j crime is committed by Negroes, while we constitute only about 12 per cent of r the population. This proposition holds good not only in tbe South, but also in Northern ? States and cities. No race that is so largely ignorant and so recently out of e slavery could perhaps show a better record, but we must first face these f plain facts." It becomes our duty as teachers to seek tbe remedy for this great evil es- 8 pecially as it is having such a deadly effect upoh our race throughout the south. What now is the remedy? It is j rrarir oip?r fhfttnHr svstem of education and training is defective and must be changed, if we would bring about the desired reform. If we expect to raine up a citizenship from this Negro race, thaW is worthy of a name and a place among men and nations, we must begin as never before to hold up in holy horror the record that we are now making and raise up a people that shall be au honor to its race as well as to our God. We must remember that the problem which we have to solve is peculiarly our own and it must be met and 't solved by us with the means and providential lights that are before us. Above all we need to be honest with 1 ourselves and look at facts as they are, and go about the work with an honest 1 and sincere purpose to see and correct existing evils in the school room or 1 wherever in the providence of God, it becomes our duty to lead and train the ' people. In our zeal to get education ana become learned in books, let us not continue to do as we have done in the past, pay too little attention to the ' education of the soul and the infusion of character without which all education is a failure a sham, and a mock* ery. We must teach the people that i knowledge is after all only a means to the higher and more glorious end 1 which is character. We must take our own peculiar ' problem as a race and study it as it is, with all the facts before us and with < our eyes open'tojthem and labor with , an honest and determined purpose that the record shall be raised. , That henceforth we the teachers of j western South Carolina will send outp from our school rooms a higher an better type of Negro manhood an womanhood than ever before. To d this fellow teachers we must begin t follow books and tradition less an 3tudy nature and chilhood more. W mnct lpnrn nnr?pfr>r?ll thftf f h? h iphpf and noblest purpose of the true teacbe is not to train and develop the inte lect, not to send out men and wome whose brain only have been stored wit knowledge at the expense of charactei manhood and principle. Ever true teacher of the Negro race au of every other race for that matte must be imbued with the great fat that he or she Is a soul developer and character builder. The teacher lays nc only the foundation, but determines als the character of the superstructure ths rises upon that foundation. It is important therefore that w should arouse and catch with a firme ?rasp the stupendous work we have i band and begin as never before to lil up a standard for all the people. By a mysterious Providence ou iestiny has been fixed ill this vat south-land, the garden spot of the worl side by side with the white man, ou nrnol nr nino io fnrowpp hoiind II r *TCOi VI VUl WW ? r 3ur ultimate fate must be that of on jommon country. We are here to stay, from these aj: pointed paths we caDnot turn, hoi shall we walk in them and reach ths joal of biiih honor and respectabilit tvhich should characterize a peopl whose God is the Lord? This is the question which we th ;eacheru of western South Carolin nust answer by our devotion an< idelity to the sacred trusts that hav jeen left us. "Then cheer boys cheer, no more c die sorrow, courage, true hearts shal >ear us on our way. Hope points be ore and shows the light tomorrow, le is forget the darkness of today." ENEMY OF CORN CROP. iinall Caterpillar Threatens South ern Crop?Means Used to Destro: the Worm. Atlanta Journal. The corn crop of tbe Sontb is tbreatenei rlth total loss by the destructive onslaugb >f the larger cotton stalk borer, a new enem; hat bas come to devastate the fields of grow ng grain. Many letters have been received by Stat Entomologist Scott from farmers In all selec ions of the State, and be bas received quit in Interesting collection of tbe worm and tbi talks upon which be finds his existence. Tbe worm Is batohed from tbe eggs of i noth that lays on tbe young stalk of corn ['he period of hatching requires little mor ban a week, and tbe moment the aew-bori lest opens its eyes In tbe new world he be ;lnp boring bis way Into the heart of thi talk, killing and poisoning tbe life of tbi >lant. Slate Entomologist Scott, in an Interest!^ ntervlew this morning, tells tbe full storj if tbe worm and the remedy that must be ap tiled to save tbe crop from destruction. Entomologist Scott, in speaking of tbi form which is so destructive, says: Toe larger cornstalk borer is a large wblti aterpll'ar, dotted with dark brown spots rblcb bores Into corn etalkB preventing tbi rowtb of the ears sn young corn and weaken Dg older stalks on tbat It is readily blowr lown. It frequently occurs in such numberi n corn fields that one stalk of corn may bi lddled with twenty or thirty holes. "This Insect Is quite well distributed ove be southern States and frequently becomei ery troublesome, causing a loss of25 10 9 >er cent of tbe crop wben it occurs in large lumbers. Aside from corn it also attack* ugar eane. sorgbum, and gama grass 01 emaln grass. "The adult Insect Is a motb which deposllf ggs on young corn soon after it comes up 'be eggs soon hatch and tbe young larva iore into the stalk from the ground to tbi bird joint and tunnel usually upwarc brough the path. Corn stalks affected be ome distorted and do not form ears There is a second generation of this lnseci rhleh bores Into tbe well grown stalks anf o weakens them that they are frequently down over. This second generation passei be winter in tbe old corn stalks ready t( iroduce a spring brood to attack tbe nex rop of corn. ' The remedy for this Insect consists entire v of nreventive measures. Since tbe cater illlars over-winter In the old corn stalki bey can be almost entirely destroyed bj mrnlng these stalks Jn the fall or wlntei .fter tbe crop Is gathered. "Our method of pulling tbe fodder anc eavlng tbe stalks on tbe ground, or even cut lng the corn and leaving tbe butto, atTordi be very best conditions for this Insect to bole iver tbe winter and continue to multiply ear nfter*year. Tbe stalks should be draie ed off, collected and burned during the fal ,nd winter." "Again, corn should not follow corn on in estea lands. A system of rotation of cropi bouId be adopted, so tbat corn will not bi ilanted on tbe Bame land two years in sue esslon. The same la true of sugar cane anc orgbum. Also swamps In wblcb gama grasi b growing should be burned over every yea o destroy tbe worm infesting this grass. J hese preventive measures are followed farm rs need not suffer from attacks of the pest." $20.00 IN SILVER. ilven Away By P. B. Speed, Abbe vllle, 8. C.
