Th? Advertiser, extends sympa
thy to the Augusta Chronicle
which sustained a severe loss by
fire last - week. It is the oldest
newspaper m the south, and while
it may be temporarily embarrass
ait or inconvenienced by the loss,
it will rise forth in greater strength
- and usefulness. The paper that
Las 'done FO much for Augusta
should now be more largely sup
ported than ever by tbe people of
that city.
General Thomas W. Carwile has
issued an order directing that the
-' next state re-union of the Con
federate veterans be held in Co
lumbia some time during May,
the exact date to be announced
later. No better place could have
been chosen. Columbia is central
ly located-easily reached from
every part of the state-and the
people of the capital city wilj
leave no stone unturned in the
matter of providing entertain

occasions.
When the next session of the
Edgefield Baptist Association is
held, Ebenezer church, located at
Trenton, will make application to
be admitted into this association.
Fer several years the change has
bien agitated but until recently a
majority of the members of Ebe
nezer were opposed to leaving the
Ridge association. Already this
church bas begun to affiliate with
the churches of the Edgefieid as
sociation, Ebene zer having elected
delegates to the union meeting
that will be held at Antioch next
jn?lay. The good people of Tren
ton and vici?ity will be very
winni y welcomed by the members
of the Edgefield association.

.
ID the college auditorium last
Friday morning at eleven o'clock
Mr.' \V. D. Holland, County Su
perintendent of Education called
to order the first session of the
Teachers' Association of Edge
field county. Or perhaps it would
be better to qualify somewhat.
This was not the first session held
in the county but rather the first
meeting this year, the previous
association having, as Mr. Holland
stated in his opening address, fall
en into a relapse. After brief de
votional exercises and a. short in
troductory speech" by the County
Superintendent the business of
organization was immediately en
tered into. Upon motion of Col
F. N. K. Bailey, Mr. .Holland was
unanimously elected president of
the association
.Prof. Zeigler of Johnston theu
put in nomination for secretary
Col. Bailey, but at the request of
the nominee withdrew this name
in favor of Miss Madge Mays who
was with much acclaim elected.
The secretary upon completing
a roll of the tedchers present an
nounced that thirty-five were
present, half the white teachers in
the county as was pointed out by
the President who seemed grati
fied at Ihe interest 6hown by the
county's instructors. To some
however it may F.eem a defect in
the state school system that at
tendance upon all such meetings
is not compulsory. In some states
such meetings or iuistitutW are
held at regular iutervale and
those who draw state funds dare
not be absent upon paiu of for
feiting their share of the publ c
school money. It wou'd certainly
seem that-teacbers who attempt to
Ke progressive should never miss
an opportunity of . discussing,
questions of Buch vital importance
as our educational problems.
From the business session th?
association passed immediately to
a consideration of the program.
The first topic for discussion was:
"What the Teacher Owes his Pro
fession," aud the two speakers were
Mrs. Latimer ard P. P. Burns
Mrs. Latimer was excused by the
President and the only "6et'?
speech w.as the paper read by Mr.
Burns. Two or three -of the re
marks in this paper caused some
discussion maiuly by way supple
ment. For the most part this was
ccmment on the statement of the
speaker, that "the teacher who
works wi'h.a check as his only
aim can not be careless of the en
ergy, and.q'uality- of his instruction
and insensible to the real welfare
of the student. Prof. Hand of the
diversity of South Caiolina was
J being called upon the
-^short^taik'.W the!
^S?frei?^
vin?s speaker he was of the opin
ion, that there - was food for the
thought ?B to the remuneration of
tho teacher; Prof. Zeigler ali?
commented on the same point dis
cussing for the - most part how
ever what tho public owes the
te?chei instead of what, tho teach
er owes the profession. -
Prof. Long of Trenton com
menced briefly on. the questionof
technical excellence in the teacher
The second subject considered
was that of "the Place and Im
portance of Scientific Temperance
Instruction." A very strong paper
on this topic had been prepared
by Mrs. Julian Mims and in her
absence this was read by' Mies
Minnie Dicks of the Edgefield
graded school. Dr. Burts who was
also present as an auditor was re
quested by the President to make
some remaiks on the subject. He
complied and in a very forceful
speech made a stroi.g plea for bet
ter and more thorough and uni
versal instruction on the evil of
intoxicants and narcotics. In the
following discussion Prof. Hand
was again called to the floor and
between him and Dr. Burts quite
a number of well taken points
were brought out. Prof, Long and
Mr. Arthur confined their remarks
largely to the matter of tobacco
The afternoon session was prin
cipally engaged with the high
school problem, Prof. Zeigler and
Miss Hattie Newsom the regularly
appointed speakers were both ex
cused by request and the discus
sion was largely, impromptu. Col.
Bailey made his first talk to the
association and really. Bummed
up the whole situation in his re
mark that no high school work
should be attempted in any school
where the . equipment was not
thorough for the elementary, work.
High school work and primary
grades must both inevitably Buffer
where the former i? attempted
without careful instruction in tho
latter. Prof. Haud'whom the body
of teachers refused ' to leave un
heard outlined in a thoroughly
logical, clear and conclusive way
the place of each of our depart
mcnts of school work. Just before
adjournment the association upon
a very graceful motion of Prof.
Long extended to Col. Bailey its
thanks for his hosDitality and en
tertainment.
The night session as previously
announced was given wholly to
the address of Prof. Hand bu edu
cational problems in general and
the high school questiou in par
ticipar-au address which should
be of interest to every patrou, stu
dent and teacher. Prof. Hand haV
bf en interested for some years in
?ducatiou and in the rec-*ut c ?un
y high school movement be bas
ceeu particularly interes;ed. Hi?
imminents were in line with hi
vell known views on these ques
iou8. It is a very regrettable fnc*
[bat such a large part of Edge
ield's population rernaiued away.

post-wholly of students and vis:

Interesting Letter From a Bright

?a%gfcWy^
Th? school wiir'sbon;"close, us the
term, was, for only three months.
I like my school very much, but
X'-'think that complex fraction's
are very perplexing. Dou't you?
Spring is with us and the wild
flowers are bldominsr everywhere.'
The birds are singiug in the tree
tops aud the flocks of turkeys and
guineas are very noisy. Tho smart
old hens are laying plenty of eggs
and some of the smartest hens are
fussing over broods of young
chickens.
The air is full of the odor of
the fertilizers that are being hauled
about. Some plowing has been
done and some other preparations
have been made. I hope we will
have a good year for fruit. The
pear tree is in full bloom.
Yours truly,
Clyde Hamilton.

Dear Sir: Xo man is in .a position
to influence men with regard to their
property more than you in that little
room where they tell you their troub
les. Pity, if you don't know how to
keep a house dry and soured, any sort
of .structure, house si ore factory ware
house shop barn fence-any sort of
fence, except rail; will paint.
What i amt? The paint that takes
least gallon; ; for paint costs money,
and pOtting- it on costs twici as much
as the paint.
That is short; but that's all; it in
cludes the rest. One puint wrara long
another wpars short; but the one that
wears lona* is the least-gallons paint ;
least-gallons me.m:i pure and strong,
and most-gallons means adulterated
and weak, beside* sirall gallons.
Paint is one of the biggest interests
in the i/nited States: not'the business
of making it; no, the business ol paint
taking care of property. Paint is
won h a great deal more than it costs,
and the best costs least: Devoe.

INSURE
YOUR CROP.
Say, Mr. Farmer:
~ Suppose the dealer, from whom you pur
chase your fertilizers, should say to you that if you
would pay him an additional seventy-fiive cents per
ton, he would, in the event of the destruction brdarri-r
age to your crops by hail, refund the purchase price
of the ferlilze.
Would you take him-up? Of course yon. would.
Being a reasonably sensible man, you could not. af
ford to do otherwise.
The Carotina Hail Insurance Company of Marion,
S. C., will insure your Cotton and Grain Crops for
as much as $30.00 per acre, and cl?arg?s a premium
of only two and one-half per cent.
See our agent, Mr. W. L. Holderby, and give
him your application at once.
Instare now. It doesn't pay to put this matter off.
