The illustrations are very appropriate for the occasion and are finely executed and the reading matter is of most patriotic and highest order. Many a Confederate veteran will gratefully remember the thoughtfulness of the Southern Railway in preparing so an appropiiate souvenir, and its kindness in distributing it free among them. The enterprise of the Southern is unlimited. Excellent Service. The "Merry Makers" of Augusta, Ga., propose to make hot times in that town next week along the line of real hard, genuine pleasure and enjoyment to the thousands of visitors who will flock to that city. Elaborate preparations have been made to bave things so arranged as to afford the fullest measure of happiness to all who partake of the generous hospitality of Augusta. While all this is being done by the citizens, the ever active officials of the Southern Railway, with its splendidly (quipped service, are no less ac tive in arranging a comfortable and pleasant trip for its pafions. Under the intelligent and progressive management of the present officers this railway system has become to be one of the finest in the country. With its unsurpassed facilities for handling immense crowds and unexcelled passenger service persons going to Augusta next week should take this route with the assurance that their trip will be a most pleasant one and that their comfoit will be - - - ? i * looked alter Dy accommodating 01fioials.

Approved the 15th day of February, A D 1899. Summer Normal Schools. COFNTY SCHOOLS. It is now well known throughout the State that we shall have this summer in each county a summer normal school of four weeks duration, with a regular course of study in common school branches. The subjects taught this year will be English, geography and arithmetic, upon which examinations will be held at the close of the school. Eich school will be conducted by a faculty of two instructors, each faculty teaching in two counties aud thus employed for two months. STATE SCHOOL. But there are many teachers who could more profitably spend their time at a higher school. Hence a summer school of a high grade and varied courses will doubtless be welcomed very generally and even by graded school superintendents and college professors. To meet this need and to raise the standards of education in the State, I am planning to hold at "Winthrop college, (whose cooperation has been secured), a State summer normal school, such aa ia pnndnntpd in manv r>f fhp Ipnd ~w ? ? J ~ ing universities of today. The persons engaged to instruct in the county schools will be required to take courses at the State school. This school will offer, as elective, courses in Pedagogy, English language, English literature, AngloSaxon constitutional history, political economy, botany, physiology, physics, physiography, mathematics, astronomy, drawing, vocal music and possibly Latin and Greek. Fuller details will be given in a printed announcement later. Each course will be conducted by a specialist, and particular care will be taken to see that the sciences are taught practically, to lead to their introduction into the graded and common schools. Many of the best country teachers and most of the graded school teachers of the State will be expected to take advantage of these courses and thus be stimulated along the lines of the most modern development of educational ideas. Periods of recitation will be one hour in length in each subject, six days in the week. Not more than three courses will be allowed to ary one student, and the taking of only two will be encouraged, the subject being to learn something thoroughly. Board and lodging will be agreeable, and, (including laundry), will cost not over $12 for the four weeks, possibly only $10. The professors will for the most part be chosen from the faculties of our best colleges, State and Denominational; besides whom there will be several noted educators from abroad. It is expected that several hundred teachers will be assembled, representing every college and progressive school in the State. The intellectual pleasure and the stimulus of these associations and consequent professional spiiit should give an impetus to education that will be felt in the remotest corner of the State. The privileges of the school will be extended as far as possible to others besides actual teachers. County Superintendents and members of County Boards of Education are especially invited. Fresh from this inspiring study under master teachers, the instructors of the county schools, (some of whom will have been instructors in the State School,) will go forth to their work with higher standards and greater zeal. It is for this season that the county schools will be held later, (July 15th to August 15th). Attendance upon either the State school or a county school will probably be compulsory by regulation of the State Board of Education. It is hoped that Graded School Superintendents and Boards of Trustees will encourage, if not require, their teachers to attend the State School. The object of this circular- is to call the attention of the educational public to the above program and to appeal to the better equipped and more ambitious teachers to make their arrangements now to attend the State Summer School. City Superintendents are asked to lay this matter before their teachers,^ and County Superintendents are requested to communicate with such of their teachers as they think will endeavor to take advantage of the oppoituni ties of this ftiate iricnooJ; an are urged to send me as soon as possible the names of those who express a purpos.e to attend this school. Price of board, railroad rates and many other details affecting the success of the State Schools are somewhat dependtnt upon the estimate of probable attendance. I trust that all friends of the proposition will at once communicate with me, giving me such assurances as they can. John J. McMuhan, State Superintendent of Education. The above circular letter explains itself. We hope, and urge, that our ! teachers will take advantage of this | opportunity for better preparation, and advancement in teaching and will begin at once to arrange lor attending one or both of these schools. I All teachers who intend going to the j State School, at Winthrop, will please j write me at cnce so that complete j arrangements can be made for same, : with the State Superintendent of Education.

To the Editor of the Dispatch: \ After months of intense suffering at the residence of her son Henry, Jane Hiller breathed her last on the 27th day of April, 1899. She was about eighty-eight years old. Several children and grand children survive and mourn her loss. About forty-five years ago she was confirmed in High Hill Creek Lutheran 1 church and the simple child like ! faith in her Redeemer abode with l her all along down the stream of life and made her ready to welcome the , Master's call. By her exemplary life she won the respect of all, both white and colored, who knew her. Thus another one of the faithful, j ante belluin colored people Pas | passed away, which thins the already j meagte ranks of those that survive j and swells the ranks in the army of | those that have crossed the mystic ' river.
