Of late frequent mention has been made o/ the prevalence of typhoid In Rock Hill and Spartanburg. Those of us v.ho know nothing about It, wonld account for It In this way. The college buildings and the dormitories are liberally furnished with water closets. The buildings were closed last July and kept more or lesB closed from that time until the opening of the school or college term. The sewer gas while the buildings were closed. In some way permeated every foot ol air spaoe, andthe typhoid is the result ol its absorbtlon by the youny people. In this way city people who had spent their summer in the mountains finally acoounted for their typhoid after their return home. At first they thought they had contracted the disease unconsciously while in the moun UllDB, DUl upuu UJU1S UUClUi lUfCBU|OUVU | they discovered that the .water baelns of the I oloeets In the house which they had vacated ] had become dry from evaporation or leak, and that thla evaporation had made direct communications with the sewer, which allowed the sewer gas to escape Into their houses, and nothing la more promotive ol typhoid than sewer gas. It may oome from Imperfectly secured Joints In the piping. Later, we are told that physicians, who have studied this matter, contend tnat even with the pipes closely shut with water, the sewer gas cannot be totally excluded, and that free ventilation to the closet door closed to the remainder of the house Is the only safe plan. No closet should be entirely closed from window ventilations. Without proper and intelligent care, there 1b danger from closets that are too nearly ' dosed against fresh air from without. Or, this is the opinion of a man who knows nothing about It, and as a layman has no right to speak on the subject. Learned physicians may analyze the water, and then squint at the innocent cow with suspicion, but a little oommon sense in examining the olosetB will avail more. Exclude the sewer gas from W In thro p and all will be welL A Letter of Explanation. Some weeks ago an artlole appeared in one of the Atlanta papers stating that Mr. Qeorge Cannon, with two other gentlemen, bad been arrested for an attempt to blackmail. The alleged offense was threatening to report a liquor dealer If he did not meet the person writing the threatening letter and pay over a oertaln sum ol money. As to further partlc. ulars the following letter states the facts ex pUoltly, exonoratlng Mr. Cannon: Atlanta, Nov. 9,190S. Mr. W. R. Bradley, Abbeville, 8.

"W, v Reunion of Orrs Regiment The remnant of that gallant band of soldiers now known officially as Orr's Regiment aeld a reunion In Abbeville last week. There were also many old soldiers ol otner commands who were likewise tbe guests ol tb< city. Tbe old boys were as game as could be and went all tbe gate set by tbe young mer ol tbe town. Tbelr visit was a pleasure ;ti themselves and still greater pleasure to th< en tertalnlng city. Abbeville always takei oS tier bat and passes ber heartiest band' shake to tbe Confederate veteran. Oq tbe day of arrival all were called to meet In a building near the .New Court House. Here refreshments were served and tbe veterans assigned places of lodging. That night they attended a smoker In Rosenberg Hail aria naa a geue?i gwu <>u>. mingling with the citizens of the town. The regular session of the Association was held the next day. The address of welcome wae made by Dr. J. Lowry Wilson, who may always be counted on for a good speech and whose loyalty to the cause Is seoond|to nc man's. This was responded to In a happj speech by Hon. J. ?. Watson and also Id some timely remarks dy Mr. McGUl* Vlcc President of the Association. The annual address was tLbde by Gen. M. L. Bonham When speaking he is in his most natural attitude, and on this occasion he appeared at his best. Our people love Gen Bonham and his speeches are a delight t< them. In the business meeting, kindly resolutloni touching the Illness of Gen. Hemphill wen passed. We reprint from memory the resolu tlon which may vary in the matter of i word. * kindly resolutions. Whereas, we the survivors of Orr's Regl ment in convention assembled at Abbeville feel sorely tbe absence of our beloved Presl dent, Gen. R. R. Hemphill, who on acooun of sickness, can not attend. Therefore, Be it resolved, Tbat we berebj express oar deepest sympatby for him in hli sickness and tbe wish that be may soon re oover, to take his accustomed place amongs us at many subsequent reunions. On every hand regrets were expressed tba Oen. Hemphill could not bo present. Old songB and instrumental muBlc by th< Orohestra added to the pleasure of tbe occa slon. Mrs. McMillan and Miss Nettle Ham mond deserve special mention.

Bui be Is a risky; or venturesome, tli i kind of a man. When the machine was Dear- in > ly ready to stop he weDt to Atlanta where th > some of the medical fraternity practloed ex i some of their arts on him. Instead of killing . him outright as everybody might have co thought they woald do, the Atlanta doctors < i Jaet lobrloated the Joints, relieved the pains i that afflloted his bones and pnt his stomach bl In operation, so that he Is now on a fair way < to be as lively and as stout as a sixteen-year old. He can eat like a preaoher, sleep like a or log, and movo like an automobile. All In all < Tom Grant Perrln is one of the best men alive Be today. His heart Is all right. His power i house, (the stomach,) Is bis citadel, and all < goes well with him. m The difference between Mr. Perrln &Dd Mr. James Roche was thU: Mr. Roche and all the kindred and all the doctors In town oouldn't ( And out what was the matter with him. ( But with Mr. Perrln the caie was different. Al Everybody knew that something very alarm- er lngly was wrong with him. The doctors In 1 Atlanta found out what waB wrong. They st< cured him, set up on his plus, and sent ( him back home to be with and ampng his ( friends with the belief that many years are or yet In Btorefor him. But neither Mr. Roohe, nor anybody else, 1 knows what Is the matter with him, but er there is one good thing about him. His friends are In no way uneasy about his early departure. He will have good health and die of old age about forty-five years hence. 8t re ?rl A _ A i urr s Reunion. t The veterans of Orr'i Regiment met In an- * nnal re-anlon at Abbeville last Thursday'. ? r Dr. J.

Messrs. j Hill, Harden, MoDavld and others famished <x B the male voloes. p* Many of the old soldiers made affectionate al enquiry for Gen.

Hard times are the right tlmea to atart r such an en terprtae, and we tblnk tbe timet t are bard now, bard enough. Good tlmea will a oome when the wheela begin to turn. While we are not authorized to apeak on t] tbe aubjeot, it aeema to ua tbat tbe old farnl- t< ture factory building oould be utilised to a atart a email cotton mill. If tbe ownera D I would make an effort, we think tbey oould 0 e secure the neoeuary capital atock to buy tbe b e maohlnery for a spinning mill and a knit- ft j ting mill. Or. If tbe owners did not care to * go Into the enterprise cheaper buildings b oould be erected outside tbe city llmlta, \ where the land oould be bad obeap.and where - the maoblnery would be forever free of city i taxea . , n i With aome home mon^y In It, additional 4 7 oapltal from abroad could be bad. We ought ^ . to make another move forward. g t h 3 a ? Store Closed. s Owing to tbe abort cropa and tbe consequent bad oollectlons, tbe store of ;Mr. J.

Mr. McKee Is a man of kindly heart, and of p genial nature, and he abould look forward hopefully. There are yet good things In store for blm. ! Calculating on the Price of Cotton. Quite a number of mighty good men be- T 1 lleve tbat the prloe of cotton will go up.

The two most Important rtqulsltes of n aacber are preparation and common sense, omeof our teachers have the Idea that li ou call the roll and "hear" the recitations ou have done your duty. The tencaer who olds bucU an idea Is simply wasting money nd should retire.

It Is you who will be expected to :an Improvements for your school, to arouse ntbuslasm among your patrons and friend* jr better things In school matters. In preparation, don't think that because ou have a certificate or a diploma, that you re a pedBgog. Study} Study! and more stuy Is necessary. Professional reudlcg Is leeded. Two or three flri-t class teachers aagazlnes should be found Id every teacoerx Ibrary, besides a carefully selected number f books by the best authors. In professional rending I find the following looks InterMin? and Instructive. "Among Cocd"v Hcbool*". Keon, ''School Management" White. "Theory and Practice ifTeachmg" P>'gr. "Principles of Teaching" I'borndyke, "The Foundation of Education" ind "Tbs History of Education" Seely, and The Philosophy of Education'' Rosenkraoz. Besides these books the following have teen adopted by the State Board of Ednonioo fpr the Teachers Rending Course for 1606: Seelev's "New School Management" 81 07 Brlley'a "Naturestudy" 95 COOKe'a "WHO (DO lounm nuo * Theff books can be bad from the EduealonalPub.

This Is tbe strong point of i good teaober. It la necessary in subool oom and out, certainly It le essential when making up oourse or study. Don't think bemuse a loDg lint of books bus been adopted that you must try to ubc all In one year or in jne school.

About 75 boys and rlrls have tried lor scholarships during the last two years In Abbeville Coouty. Not more Lban about elgbt percent passed on Engllsb Lbe very tH'tig ibey onght to be mr.st prodolent In. You are urged, specially urged ui jive more time to English and writing, It would surprise to see some of tbe letters reset ved, from some of the teachers. They either through Ignorance or carelessness, lei as hope the tormer, omit to give mocb attention to the beading, salutation, body, close find signature of tbe letters. Of course this If a small part of the Engiled training but it Is a very Important part. It Ib a pliable sight to nee a boy or girl on the way to Echool with in armful of books of about a dozen varieties and branches. Tbe little fellow trudging along and doubtless all the while wondering what It ail means ior mn cuuu ci?i i>uu<? be Is notequal to the task ol mastering all those ..lessons. It Is better far belter, to have the child have a reasonable number of studies and do good and thorough work than to only get a xmatterlng knowledge of all. Besides It. disparages the child and this (is the most serious part of all. Again so many teachers are trying to please some foolish parents by advancing pupils tu fast. 1 find some children in some schools who can't read Intelligently a paragraph nor pronounoe ordinary correctly words In every day use, still ,'these very children have laid aside the reader and ;spelllng book and are in Latin and Geometry, may be Dearly through the last and can't tell tod dearly the dillerence between a circ e and a triangle, These conditions exist, but ol course not In your school, If yoa ars reading this, bnt in the other teachers sohool.
