yr?mmmii i mmtarnmmm I Dispensary-Prohibition. A 9 we stated last week, the question of Dispensary or No Dispensary 19 now a live wire?an issue thai we can- j ;not afford to brush aside or pass lightly by, the solution of which is now | v ?qharel'y before us for settlement. Rev. ?T. L. Harley, Superintendent J of the South Carolina Anti-Saloon leagne, came over Saturday and made ! two addresses Sunday?the first in the court house in the morning to men only -and in the evening in the High School v Auditorium to a mixed audience. He came with his guns cocked, primed And trained upon the dispensary syszfcem of controlling the sale of whiskey. To be honest with oarself aud our readers we must confess to a painful 'disappointment at the weakness of this attack and his illogical deductions. Nothing was brought out in support of his contentions other than which has already been told time and again. It was the same old story of 4'Peter's /wife's mother lay sick abed with the bairns . J J a* fVia ^ far on/) r/rvia o'J flfnrv 'JVTU4 I yV* vuu *VA UM ? ^wwv WW. ^ 1that We learned at school in our cbild days?ndthiDj? more, nothing less. v From the standpoint of an impassion?te and pathetic appeal to the sentiments of his hearers these addresses 'Conld possibly be classed as a supcess. -From the standpoint of logic and reason they were dismal failures. Bemember that we are criticing the man ^as a publicspeaker?not the merits of the erase he represents, nor? do we "wish to be understood as committing the Dispateh to any line of policy concerning this matter. Bat, on the other hand, his addresses were by no means void of interest ^ -Bud effect as tney nave oeen tne means of awakening the prohibition element to the gravity of the dangers ahead and aroused them to a% lively activity do the interest of the cause which is I near and dear their heart in perfecting { a thorough organization and a general -concentration of their forces, and the leaders are already arranging to undo ^hat has already been accomplished to^ ward the re-establishment of the dispensary^ in Lexington connty, and warm times may be looked for before the battle of ballots is over. So far the dispensaryites have made no pnblio demonstration. The leaders aeem content, for the present at least, wua vuvai?uug [wuuuus jutu oppoai satisfied with the progress they have anade, In this connection it may not be out of place to state as a matter of news that our information is that every qualified elector in the town of Lexington has signed the petition for an election save seven. This is given for what it is worth. - i.". i jC It is now definitely settled that the 'WUTK ui pnnaiug me uowku-umuuiui JEiectrie Railway will start May 15, and it is to be completed within eighteen months. y i , i I IN v I On sale. 1 111 P* I w. u %Ty We are offering t sale and more people stay away?

What does it mean? Look at me. I am eighty-two years old. Sound as a nut. Tough as hickory. Do not know what it is to be tired. While I cannot do as much physical work as I used to when a young man, I can do a great deal. Probably twice as much as the average young man of to-day. , What has kept me so strong and well? I will tell you. I do not use tobacco. I do not use alcoholic stimulants. I do not use tea or coffee habitually. I go to bed early. I get up early. I am always .doing something; .omething that occupies my body and uiind. I love to work. I take a cold water towel bath every morning, winter and summer. It is these things Pay Teachers'Well. I rr. , ... . IIU an Wd lia \!t Onu? LLlUie icawncu iwv, | nual period of unrest in the teaching: pio ession of South Carolina. The rural schools a^e begin1 i' g to close, and eyeu the town and city schoois are looking forward to commencement exercises. With the closing of the year's work co m 8 usually the feeling of uncertainty on the part of the teacher as to the position for next year. This is often accompanied by the anxious search and furious application for positions. If the past years are any iddieation as to the future, from 50 to 75 per cent of our teachers will change places at the beginning of new school session. This instability in the profession, from whatever causes it results, is the greatest curse under which the schools of the State are now suffering. It is absolutly impossible for a comriiiiiiity to build np a school or for a teacher to develop ability or acquire a reputation as long as three-fonrths of oar teachars teach one year in a place. The faalt sometimes lies with the teacher who, fronjfea lack of interest in his work or fpnm a desire for new surroundings, is nnwilling to cultivate the field ;whicb he has entered long enough to reap the haryest. The worst recommendation which a teaoher can present to a board is a batch of letters showing that he has taught at five or six places in as many years. The teacher should at least wish to remain long enongh in one community to become thoroughly identified with the interests of the people. It is impossible for him to adapt his teaching to the needs of a community when he does not remain long enough to become acquainted with these needs. The fault sometimes lies with the school board who labors under the mistaken impression that a teacher loses his influence as soon as he enters on friendly relations with hit pupils. Sometimes the board does not appreciate the fact that a teacher becomes more valuable with experience and deserves substantial recognition of increasing proficiency. A school board shouldshow its appreciation for a good teacher by at least a small annual increase in salary. Last year many school boards of the State paid the tr.i- j tion fee and a part of the expenses of their teashere at the Winthrop Sum- I mer school when these returned to their positions for another year. I should hke to commend this plan to all the school trustees of the State. A few dollars added to the first month's salary next year as a partial reimbursement for expenses incarred on account of Summer School attendance will be re* turned manyfold in increased efficiency and enthusiam. Allow me to sugj. ge9t also that school boards reelect I t!"eir teachers immediately after the close of the school so that they may tecome settled at once and make their plans for the new year. W. K.
