EDUCATIONAL BALL?.
Fine Speeches Heard by Fairly Gaodsized
Audience.?-Many Ladies, in
Attendance.
Farsuant to tne notices 01 tne same,
ihe educational rally for Lexington
jounty was held in the court house on
VIonday. The audience, while not as
urge as could have been desired, was
nterested and attentive through the
vhole proceedings. County Superintendent
of Education A. D. Martin
called the meeting to order at eleven
)'clock.
The first speaker wa9 Dr. D. B
Johnson, president of Wintnrop, who
iealt largely with statistics, which,
? report, would do violence to the
>ralue of his address, quoting largely
rom leading educators throughout
his and other lands in proof of his
iontentions. He showed, in dollars
ind cents, the value of an education,
jy contending that the earning cajacity
of the average college-bred
nan, upon a basis of forty years acivity,
was $49,003, while the average
)f an uneducated man ranges at about
>1,800. The great advantage, thereore,
of education was made apparent
>y figures that fairly bristled with infraction.
He argued that when yon
educate a man that you educate an
ndividual, when you' educate a wonan,
you educate a family, because
whether she be able to supply a eolege
education to each member of her
lousehold or not, she as mother, will
pare no pains in instilling that knowledge
into her children which is the
reparation for complete living. His
peech was not only entertaining, but
nefmnHpfl as wpll
Mr. J. Frank Foosbe, editor of the
iVinsboro New9 and Herald, was the
text speaker, and he contended that
he forerunner of all good schools was
food roads. Give good roads and
food schools will follow rather than
food schools being the necessary
:aii9e of good roads. Good roads not
?nly enhance the chances for educaional
progress, but they ton tfi vitally
ill material development and pros>erity.
Congressman A. F. Leyer, more
erhaps than any other of the speakers,
deplored the fact that the aodi>nce
was not so large as it 6hould
lave been. This was due to the fact
>f his being at his home and he, being
:een!y alive to the progress of h'S
iome county, woukl have preferred t
lave had not only a larger, but a
nore representative audience. His
Irst point wa9 that politics too fre[uently
played a part in the working
four senool system as it is at present
:on9titated. He suggested reforms
vhich undoubtedly would minimize
hese political influences very much
ndeea it not wholly eradicate them,
rhe school i9 what the teacher makes
t. Tne teacher is the creature of the
;ru9tee9. The trustees are appointed
>y the superintendent of education,
vho in turn is elected to office. It is
perfectly clear, therefore, that the
ihancas for policies to play its part
ire unhindered. He suggested reitricting
the powers of the trustees
ind placing the responsibility upon
;he superintendent of education who,
n turn, should be appointed to office
jy the state board or education with
he advice and consent of the gover:ior,
thereby taking him out of the
arimary and removing him as far aa
possible from all political interferences
with his work. He would increase his
:erm from four to six years and charge
aim primarily with the responsibility
cf efficiency in every department of
education in the county. Another
point in his speech wa9 that the rural
jcbools undertake to prepare smlente
for entrance into college, while statistics
showed that only six per cent, of
their pupils ever reached college.
Ninety-lour per cent, of the students
in the rural schools enjoy 110 other educational
advantages than those received
in such Schools, hence to exct
11 nv.fr o 11H trv
pcilu t lit Y ailVI ia?A/l \>KJ
prepare ?or entrance into college is a
waste of time and talent that should
be employed wholly in preparing students
for the broader duties of citizenship
and practical living.
Mr. W. B. 3) >ve was the next speaker.
He showed how it would cost no
more, in actual ctollais and cents, to
educate a man than it would to hang
a criminal. School training should
be along the lines of the lives in which
those receiving it are to live. We
have no: been getting the proper kind
of education. The practical question
for every man is, "What am 1 to do?"
Every one must get busy in this great
campaign, every one is expected to
act.
The last speaker was Dr. E. 0.
Ridgeli, member of the house, lie
very earnestly e intended that it was
a lack of appreciation of education
rather than a shortage of funds that
militated against educational advance?-?>

and the school officials were derelict
in the duty of enc ouraging efforts for
educational development. We can
always get what we want and the reason
that we do n >t have better educational
advantages is because we do
n >t becoire thoroughly interested in
s 'Curing them. We always get what
we want in proportion as we desire it.
Our greatest concern is to have a better
understanding of the real value of
education instilled into the mmds of
the people.
It is the consensus of opinion that

Premium Lists Now Beady.
The premium lists of the county h
fair are just out and ready for dis- r
tribution in a few days. Mi. George,
the secretary, asks the other officers
and directors, and especially the superintendent,
to assist him in getting ^
them quickly distributed. Those interested
in seeing a big fair should
lose no opportunity to speak a word
of encouragement at all times. Remember
the dates, Oct. 26-28. ?
Contests Dismissed. j
The State board of canvassers on "
Saturday dismissed the contest cases,
brought by the prohibitionists of Richland,
Charleston and Georgetown. The ^
Aiken case was defered until another

September Ccurt.
The September term of criminal
court for this county will open on the
third Monday, the 20th, with Judge

that the entire docket will be cleared.
The common pleas court will open on
the second Monday in November,
BR. HARDING'S WONDER OF I
THE 20th CENTURY j
DANDRUFF CURE. j
Dead Shot to the Dandruff Microbe
Stops Falling Hair.
This dandruff cure is producing |
wonderful results.' It is being used by
people you know. In this connection
we are permitted to use the following
as to the good results that have come 1
from the use of Dr. Harding's Dandruff
Cure in too months:
Mr. J. C. C. Levey says: "I have
used all the so-called daudrnff cures,
but none has had the effect that the
'Dead Shot to Dandruff' has to me. I
can recommend it.''
Mr. G. W. Martin says that it is all
that he desires. Mrs. Susan Martin
say9 that it has entirely stopped her
h&ir from fhlling out.
Mrs. Mattie Graduiek says that one
year ago her hair was nearly aii gone,
but now she has a full flowing head
of hair produced by the use of Dr.
Harding's Dandruff Cure.
Reno Fink has used the Dandruff
Cure and it has stopped his hair from '
falling out. It is erowisr nicely. 8
Mr. W. H. Vara of Cnarieston says
thac after using other "hair restoratives"
and Uniting no good resulting,
he tried i)r. Harding's Da-.idraii Cure
and his hair is doing uiceiy now.
Mi. C L. Fuller, Hyatt's Paris. says
that his four-year-old boy had lo-t
nearly all his hair by falling out. He
tried Dr. Harding's Dandra.it* Cure,
the falling out has entirely stopped
and new growth has been produced.
He thinks it is a wonderful discovery.
Our confidence in the cilice.ey or cho
Dead Shot to the Danciruii' Microbe
and Falling Hair is worth $T>0 to any
bad ease of dandruff and falling ha.r
that it will not cure.
DR. G. R. HARDING,
Near Watt's Park, Columbia, S. C.
the meeting will be productive of [
much good, and too much praise can
not be accorded Superintendent Mar- j
tin for his efforts in bringing about j
the meeting.
