A "Ring" and an "Altar." tv^
rhe great event In the social lire of Due th

ents In that town was a brilliant wedding
bleb has been variously described in the
iwsnapers. In one of the stories of this de- va
;h(ful nffair printed in the Associate Re- fa
rined Presbyterian by a correspondent
jning himself "XXX." we are told that
)r. J. P. Mi'fldtt, using the beautiful and la
ipressive ring ceremony of the A. R. P.
lurch, pronounced them man and wife, the
sv. O. V. Bonner aselstlnK." TbU corres- se
>nUeni turtber states that "the tasty decora* Sc

ofusely used. making graceful festoon*
ound the altar." "Ring ceremony of the
, Hf. P. church!" What does that mean? op
j/aceful festoons around the altar!" What iu
>es that mean? What Is the "ring cereony"
of the A. R. P. church? What Is "the CE
tar" among the Associate Reformed Ptf *rterlars?
We give It up. Probably Dr m
ildwell, of the Charlotte Observer, will be IT
?e to explain these apparent discrepancies tn
itween the severe simplicity of former gr

Knoxville, royally enthroned and !

of East Tennessee, is one of the ,
J cities of the State, having been i
unded in 1792, when this part of the '
untry was yet claimed as a eouuty \
the State of North Carolina. i
In the early days here dwelt John 1
vier, hero of King's Mountain tight, 1
id lirst Governor of Tennessee, to <
bose memory now stands a fitting j
onument in Court House Square, (
is city. The Old Capitol Buildine,
ill standing in a good state of preserition,
is one of the show places of 1

rhaps, many of us know, the flag- <
iff stands in the centre, and the foot 1

Kuoxville seems to be a city of solid
velopment. The population, include
the suburbs, is estimated at 80,000.
From a business standpoint, Knoxlie
is among the most progressive
Lies of the South. The jobbing bus- .
ess amounts, annually, to fifty mil- 1
?ns, the manufacturing output to fifmillions,
the latter as shown by the 1
S. Geographical Report, growing
e hundred per cent, between the
ars 1900-1905. 1
Knoxville furnishes the cheapest
jam fuel of any city in the South, 1
id nearly a million horse power, if
veloped, could be furnished by the
olston aud French Broad rivers,
bich unite at Knoxville, forming the
mnessee.
The city is in the centre of the disict
furnishing the celebrated Tennese
marble, of which there are ten vaitiep,
embracing 150 different shades
id colors, and unsurpassed for inte>r
decorative purposes. The six mare
mills have an annual output of one
illion dollars.
Its textile establishments are equipid
with more than 100,000 spindles,
500 looms, giving employment to upirdsof
3,000 people, the annual outit
amounting to more than two mil>n
dollars.
The largest woollen mill, South, is
und here. In addition to these,
ere are found here numbers of other
anufactories, viz., flour and iron rollg
mills, furniture factories, the great
;ter Kern Candy Co., which for forty
ars has been the leading candy rnanacturing
establishment in the South.
In addition to its public schools, i
noxville has ten educational institu>ns.
It is the educational capital of
ist Tennessee. Here is the Univer- i
:y of Tennessee, ideally located in
e beautiful Barbara Park, 1100 feet
ove sea level. From the foot of Unirsity
Hill the grounds rise in three 1
eat terraces, each laid off in lovely 1
ives aud shaded walks. Indeed,
other Nature seems to have showered
;r blessings with a lavish hand!
agnificent oaks, elms, and maples,
rily of "the forest primeval," shade 1
e entire park of forty acres. From
e topmost of these terraces, we have
magnificent view of the broad Tenissee,?beyond,
winding roads, hills,
illeys, and farms, while as a far disnt
background, we have the Great
nokies on the East, and the Cumbernd
Mountains on the West.
Here, in this ideal the eighth
esion of the Summer School of the <
>uth?that wonderful f- or in the
ucational movement now reaching i
all parts of the South, was formally
lenea Tuesday morning, June 22, I
09, with the largest attendance yet i
irolled.
This school is the result of a demand I
ade by progressive teachers all over i
e South for a summer school of high
ade. Knoxville is centrally located
the region south of the Ohio and
st of the Mississippi, has good rail- :
ad facilities, and good climate. The
Diversity of Tennessee (whose plaut 1
used by the Summer School) fursbes
attractive surroundings and acmmodations
for large numbers, 1
bile board can be had at the lowest
asonable prices. Judging from the
iprecedented success of the school, noxville
is pre-eminently the place
r such a gathering. ]
Henceforth, Knoxville shall be the i
tfecca" of the Southern teacher, to ;
bich he shall make an annual pil- ;
image?not "to see and die," but to |
re evermore, refreshed by drafts from 1
e living waters of life in the full j
use of the term.
The opening day, perhaps, is one of
e most interesting on the session's
ogram. Here, after a year's absence, 1
me together again members%of a for- "
er school and faculty, and the meetg
of new ones. Their presence, to- ,
ther with the assemblage of the hun- (
eds of students from all parts of the ,
untry, among them some foreign!,
prescntatives, briDgs them, individlly
and collectively, into closer touch ,
ith the great educational movements, ]
id which sends them away again ,
reugthened, renewed, and fortified (
r the work of the future. The keen (
terest and wonderful enthusiasm (
oused in this school in the cause of
ucation extends to all sections of the ,
>uth. It is a movement that has (
ithin it a soul. Onward it is march- (
g, and will continue 10 march on,
hen the men and women now living
e gone on to rest.
It is not so much the actual lessons ;
arned in the class room, or falling
am the lips of those who have atined
to fame in the educational
orld,?but it is the stirring of new
iergy,?the new life awakened that
ither8 force as forward it goes !

Dr. Arnold, "the things on which we
agree are.perhapp, true, but the things
an which we disagree are probably nol
at all important, and concern more often
the lesser questions."
The number of students enrolled ai
the present session is over eighteen
hundred. All of the Southern (States
are represeiueu, wuu quite u uujiiuci
of "barbarians,'' as they are humorously
termed by Dr. Claxton, from
other sections.
South Carolina is represented bv
thirty-four teachers?a number smaller,
perhaps, than the number of teachers
employed in any oue county.
Abbeville county/is calling for better
and more earnest teachers each
year. Why do not the trustees of every
school in the county ofi'er aome inducement
to their teachers for attendance
upon the Bummer School ? Wt
know only too well that the salaries ol
our teachers are painfully inadequate
to meet every demand made upoi
them, yet, as a stumulun, as an incen
tive, as a reward, why do not the trus
lees of our schools make an oiler o
free transportation to their teachers foi
attendance upon a Summer School, o
the registration fee, which in this casi
is $10.0(, or hoard for a certain parto
the term ? The good resulting fron

' WOULD YOU MARRY ?
? Clinton Gazette.
J Probably you would. I would, con'
ditionally, as I shall, after a little coml
ment, show :
| "Whether or not Mrs. Gould, wife
pro tempore of Howard Gould, the
New York multi-millionaire, beguilty
of all or any of the character-blackening
charges preferred against her in
the recent court of indecencies silting
in New York city, the woman's refut,
ing testimony overshadows that of the
' cloud of witnesses whose sworn evi[
dences were momentarily decidedly
against the accused, and, the Madam
'< rides the waves like a duck and pullp
t her ex-husband, Howard, for $36,000
alimony per annum.
Howard Gould, like many another
gourd-headed gump, hastened to wed
the "show woman" for her "personal
\ charms," and, from all appearances,
' invested his matrimonial inclinations
| in a gdld brick.
The editor of the Clinton Gazette is
an ardent admirer of pretty women?
wouldn't mind investing in one for
life's allotted days to come ; but he
should like before taking the final
! plunge to feel pretty sure that He was
getting some boot in the nature of the
real thing and not all flounced and
feathers and gaudy show to be followed
' by thunder and lightning and clouds
of sorrow dripping with penitential
, tears.
The girl of twenty odd or a little bit
older, who knows bow to skin potatoes
1 and string beans, chase a chicken and
babe a good corn pone and brittle biscuits,
is worth a whole car-load of
pretty actresses, and one such is by fir
beet calculated to cheer the home,
sweet home, be it ever so humble, and,
when the returns are all in will be
r found far ahead in all sensible prep
cincts.
Mr. Gould, being divorced and a free
man, can go forth and wed another

Peaches at $2 Each,
Boston Herald.
Probably the most expensive of ^11
the fine fruits sold here out of season
are the hothouse peaches importied
from Belgium and offered in the
, month of May.
These Belgian hothouse peaches
come packed six in a box, each in an
amnle bed of cotton. Tbe peaches re
quire a little extra mom, on account of
ihe manner in which they are taken
> from (he tree, for these are not simply
bare peaches to be huddled in together
any how, but to each is still attached
the stem on which it grew, while to
the stem is attached a little section cut
i from the twig or bough to which, while
growing, the peach was suspended
from the tree, stem and bough giving
thus to each person a separate personality
or grace of its own.
Early in May when they first come
these peaches sell here for $24 a dozen.
About the middle of May or a little
later they bring $18, and along at the
last of May or the first of June they
can be bought foa $12 a dozen.
But that is about the last of them,
for along around May 29th Florida
reaches only a little later, arid about
June 1 the price of fancy peaches tabes
a sudden great drop.

STATE FARMERS UNION WILL MEET
IN nnillMRIA ON Jill V 98th
Officers Urge a Large Attendance?The
Railroads Have Given Reduced Rates,
Columbia, July 5.?The following
call has been issued by the officers of
the State Farmers' Union :
The meeting of the Farmers' State
Union is drawing near, and we bespeak
a large attendance. Reduced
railroad rates have been applied for,
and will doubtless be granted. The
convention will be held in Colnmbla
the fourth "Wednesday in July, which
which this year will come on the 28th.
, By that time most of the farm work
will be over with, so far as concerns
the laying by of crops, and we see no
| reason why there should not be a large
, and enlhusiajtic gathering. Every
county union should be represented,
if possible, for matters of importance
will come before the Union for consideration.
All members in good standing
not delegates will be admitted to
the floor of the convention,
r We cannot too earnestly emphasize
the fact that large delegations to this
atoto ma?t.inor will Drove to the scenti
. cally inclined tbat tbe farmers mean
business, and that it is their purpose to
| better their condition an far as they
I can through organized effort. A large
, attendance will not only command the
respect of outsiders but It will help
. mightily towards inspiring confidence
r and enthusiasm among tbe farmers
themselves. Listlessness and indiffer,
ence never yet won a Victory ;* only
earnestness and entfiusiasm point tbe
way of an assured goal.

THE COMET'S TAIL |
Scientist's Silly.Prediction That it jMfill
Cause Snow Storms Daring Dog
Days- . > v -411
(The Charlotte Observer.
So'nethln'g ought to be done to tbat sciential
who Is predicting sdow for oor latitude
during July. This phenomenon, which he
says will surely occur, be attributes to tbe
presence of the tall of tbe comet now enveloping
tbe earth while tbe body Is somewhere
In tbe Illimitable space of tbe universe, millions
of miles away, bat traveling to- ' 'X
wards tbe earth at fearful speed?coming tall
foremost, It seems, Is tbe usual manner of
traveling wltb comets. It Is all because of
tbe tall of tbe comet ibat we are to undergo _
the remarkable experience of snowstorms in
tb?< dog days, so says tbls scientist.
For sometime now everything that goee
wrong or Is unusual can be attributed to tbe
tall of the comet. If we bave rain all daring
the summer It will be because of tbe tall of
tbe comet. If there is a terrible drought It
will be because of tbe tail of tbe oomet. Tbe
same may be said if there are abundant crope
or disastrous failures. 'It is only tbe tail of V!
tbe comet, bowever, with which wtf on earth ."4
will bave to deal.; L.k . <"
Our scientist Is not bothering himself at all
about tbe body. Hefeara no bad results from
it. Tbe people need bave no fear because of
Its rapid flight In tbls direction. It will exert
no influence on earth.
All tbe remarkable things that are happening
and the still more remarkable tbatare to
occur are.all because of the tail of tbe oomet.
