The meeting was presided over by the President, Mr. J. E Iiawl Kjzer. la the absence of Prof Sam J Derrick, the subject of "Moral Training," was discussed freely and deliberately by several members and doubtless all present were greatly benefited. The subj?ct of "What shall the Teachers Read?" was opened by Mr. E U. Shealy, who made a very impressive address. He said the teacher must read all that is possible and esneciallv current literature. Other members took part in the discussion, as all seemed to realize the neceesity of reading. The query?"What punishments are the most effectual?'' was discussed by the President in his pleasing and very impressive manner, saying that he or no one else could give one mode of punishment that would be the most effectual in all schools. But we, teachers, must study the nature of the children under our care and be positive that the child has committed a crime, then render the puiishment that will be elevating. Thus teaching him that it is to make him become more useful in life. This discussion was continued by several otter members to the pleasure and benefit of all present. Though our number was not as large as we have had, yet doubtless it was as pleasant and profitable as any during the year. Thus another year's work is ended ! and numbered with the past. May the many lessons we have by meeting from time to time ever be remembered with pleasure and profit. Fallow teacher, can you, who have : cot been with us duiing the past, be ! present in the future? Duty demands it. You can help us greatly. We believe you will come. The next meeting will be held October 26, 1901. Let every teacher attend and have a full meeting at the beginning of another year. R E Shealy, Sec. Pro. Tem. Tot Causes Night Alarm.

The Constitution, Atlanta, Ga , Feb. 21,1901. The victory of the Southern Railway Company before the railroad commission of the State of Mississippi is a splendid tribute to the showing made before the officers of that railroad. The case grew out of the purchase by the Southern Railway Company of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, running north from Mobile to St. Louis, passing through Mississippi on its way. The cry was raised that the purchase was violative of the laws of competition, and that the sde should not be invalidated by the action of the state railroad commission. Before that body it was shown that the Mobile and Ohio did not parallel tne soumern; mat us norm and south line crossed the Southern's east and we&t lines twice at right aDgles, and that instead of curtailing competition it really extended the competition of the Southern Railway as against other railways in the State of Mississippi. It was also shown that it had never been the policy of the Southern Rail way Company to carry dead ends or unworked lines that every mile of track was worked for all that it was " i . i * _ i L :l W011D, BDG 1081 11 was 1U IU1H wpiriu that the Southern desired to enter Mississipi. The plea wa9 ro straightforward and convincing that the commission unanimously dismissed its action against the Southern. To the people of Georgia, to whom the working of the Southern system GOODS GOHFi 'ON, 313., 1 Patronage. Polite and ! is so well known, the action of the ; - Mississippi commission is no sur- j | prise. Ten years ago the anti rail- ; I road spirit in Georgia ran very high. ! Since that time the Southern, under I the presidency of Mr. Spencer, has 3 j dealt so fairly with the people, and ! E i has so promptly met every local en- : I , terprise, that this feeling has com- | pletely disappeared. Other railroads e have co-operated, and all past antag- , o onism has disappeared. This is true i d not only of the political feature, but of j " | the appeals to state railroad commissions on important issues. k Mississippi, therefore, is to be con- t gratulate upon its determination to I encourage rather than to antagonize I the development in that state of the business and the broad and liberal h spirit of the Southern Bail way. i C ?_ t( A Deep Mystery. ;E It is a mystery why women endure w Backache, Headache, Nervousness, D | Sleeplessness, Melancholy, Fainting * and Dizzy Spells when thousands ^ have proved that Electric Bitters will w quickly cure such troubles.

She became perfectally helpless, the flesh hardening until her whole body was as rigid as stone, and took on a marble like appearance. The hardening procees also affected the entire organism. The bronze color of the hardened flesh, a prominent feature of the disease, gave way to a dark gray color before death.

I After a fruitless * ffjrt extending over a period of years to subdue the lesisting Colonies, the British government under George the Third decided to employ additional aid and bargained with the German government for a body of troops with which to fight their battle against the American armies. These troops were called Hessians, as they came from Hesse Cassel and were practically sold by their Prince to the English rulers. Among them was the subject of this sketch. The family name was Afiitze but being Eoglicieed became Meetze. The quiet home of bis parents was surrounded at midnight by a .pressgang and the promising and helpless young boy was torn ruthlessly from the arms of a weeping mother and hurried to the army rendesvous. He was here trained for duty and when the time for embarking for the shores of America came he was permitted to go to bis home to bid a last fare* well to his heart broken relatives. The manner of his impressment, the brutality of selling him as ifcfce had been a slave, and the crueltv- of his commanding officers were so-humiliating to the prood spirit of the brave youth that he determined to reeent v the indignity and resolved to escape. While Greene's army was encamped at Bacon's Bridge on the Ashley, he left the British army in the city of Charleston and attempted to reach the American troops. Being recaptared he was punished bj being made to "run the guantlet," which consisted in passing, stripped to the waist, between two lines of soldiers armed with the "cat o' nine tails," a whip with numerous lashes. This effective instrument was sometimes so cruelly applied that the victim' fainted * under the blows and was cog^gletely at the mercy of bis torftrehtors. Young Meetze escaped, witt^wounds and bruises, but undismayed. A second attempt was more successful, and, though hotly pursued by a band of troopers, with sword uplifted he crossed the lines and was safe. Whether or not he became connected with the American, army is not definitely known, but it is quite certain that he tendered his services to the commanding General. The truth seems to be that Greene was not in a condition to arm the large number of recruits who reached his lines at this period, and it was unsafe to have them remain in a situation so exposed, be sent them up to Orangeburg. Mr. Meetze was at home ' comparatively,among the German settlers with whom he found himself, and moved froq&^place to place in search of a suitable resting spot until he reached the Saluda, and selecting a home on the banks of that river, about'six miles from the present county seat, was soon comfortably settled. JohixYost Meetze was born December the 2nd, 1756, at the little village of Brinkhausen on the river Oder. Soon after the Revolutionary War he was married -to Miss Eva Margeret Gross. There was no elegant trousseau, no costly bridal gifts, but the hopeful young couple wended their way quietly to the abode of the cfficiating minister, stopping at a branch on the way to burnish and brighten the only silver dollar they had in the world, which they would soon offer as a marriage fee. To the credit of the minister, be it written, that he handed the money back and told them to keep it "for luck." Young, healthy, energetic, indue trious and thrifty they soon had a comfortable home supplied with all the necessaries and many of the comforts of life, and by close attention to their duties acquired a handsome property, raised a large family creditably and left them abundantly provided for.Mr. Meetze was a man of extraordinary natural talent and soon became prominent and influential, and proving himself a consecrated Chris tian was active in his church duties; late in life became an earnest minister of the gospel, having been licensed by the N. C. Synod in 1811, and ordained by the same body in 1822. His pastoral work was done chiefly at Zion, St. Peter's, Salem and Hollow Creek, and at a chorch which stood on the south side of the Saluda two miles below Wyse's Ferry on what was once the Arehart lands, now belonging to Mr. Edward Herman. He was connected with the X. C Synod until the constitution of the S C. Synod, of which he was one of the original members, having been in attendance when it began its history at St. Michael's (Blue* church) seventy-seven years since.
