Teachers9 Meeting.
The next meeting of the Teachers'
Association, which will come off at
Bate9burg next Saturday, March 29,
bid9 fair to be the most enjoyable
from a social standpoint and the most
profitable one yet held. Those having
the arrangements in charge have left
nothing undone which has a tendency
toward making the meeting a success.
A feature of the occasion will be the
reading of a paper by Miss Williamson,
of the Batesburg high school, on
"How to Improve the Teaching of
Tlpadinc in Onr Schools.'5 and as this
subject will be left open for discussion
by the teachers it is expected that
every teacher who attends will go
prepared to say sometning on the subject
Another feature will be the
? address of State Superintendent of
Education Swearinger. It is hoped
that there will be a large attendance
* of the teachers of the county at this
meeting. The following is the programme
in full:
Invocation?Rev. B. F. Allen.
' A Word of Welcome?Mr. Ira Oarson.

building at 11 o'clock.
George?Whitworth. |
Quite a surprising event to the peo4
pie of Lexington and surrounding
communities was the romantic marriage
of Mi9s Lynn George, of this
place, and Mr. W. O. Whitworth of
Columbia, which occurred on last
Wednesday evening at ? o'clock, at
the Methodist parsonage, by the Rev.
Dr. Herbert, in Columbia. .
The bride is the, youngest daughter
of Mrs. D. L. George, of Lexington,
and numbers her friends by the score
* who will miss her among the social
.'set, in Lexington. Lexington's loss
will be Columbia's gain.
Mr. Whitworth is one of the best
business men o'f Columbia, having
filled the position of policeman for
the past few yesrs but some months
ago having gone into the mercantile
business and is now running a flourishing
business at College Place.
The numerous friends of this happy
couple in Lexington, Richland and
elsewhere, all join in wishing them
a long, happy and prosperous life,
strewn with roses without thorns.
j They will be at home to their friends
at the home of Mr. G. W. Taylor, in
Columbia,
The Chaingang.
.. 'The county chaingang has been
divided by Supervisor C. E. Corley
into'two squads, one of which i9 loca
ted at Keisler's Fond on route 3 oat
from Gilbert and the other at Larick's
mill on the Salada river near Zion
church. That one at Keisler's Pond
* will clay the old Charleston road and
It is proposed to make this one of the
best roads in this county.
The squad at Lorick's mill will
build an iron bridge across Twelve
Mile Creek on the old River road, the
work being under the supervision of
Captain M^sservey, a stonemason of
nation wide reputation, will build the
rock abutments and pillars. These
improvements have been long needed
and their completement will be of
much convenience to the traveling
public and win for Supervisor Oorley
the *(well done, thou good and faith'
ful!servant," from a grateful people.
it was a happy idea in Mr. Corley in
hitting upon the plan of dividing up
the gang into squads as more effective
work at less cost to the taxpayers can
be accomplished in less time than the
system of road working hitherto followed.

AN APPEAL TO MOTHERS
A Duty The Mother Owes to
Her Child and to Herself and
To Her Family.
In these days of star-shooting;
the days when all kinds
of reforms are being handed
! to the parents, the mother
j feels that she has great responsibilities
And she has.
She must not only bear, fear
and nurse-and love and often
lose her offspring-but she
must ever keep her ear to
the ground to know what evil
may befall the loved one.
This not a patent medicine
advertisement. It is the rela~
? i
tion of a fact Pneumonia ana
mumps, and scarlet fever and
measles come along and all
the ills that childhood is heir
to?and the doctor is called
in, and generally he pulls the
hopeful through.
But it is. generally under-,
stood these times that all the
diseases that rob homes of
little ones Croup and Pneumonia
are the most insidious.
They baffle the skill of physicians,
often, possibly the
physician is not * called in
time. This why every home
should be supplied with a
bottle of Gowan's Preparation,
the celebrated and marvelous
remedy for Pneumonia
and Croup Colds?applied externally
and never failing to
relieve the sufferer. Buy a bottle
today; try it and you will
thank your stars that your
eyes were directed to this
article. All druggists handle
it. Take no substitute but get
