TRIBUTE TO REV. J. B. COLLEY. A Friend Speaks of Him--A Sketch of His Life. Kev. J. B. Colley was boru In Plckens county, South Carolina, Feb ruary 19 184 5, and died at his home near Salem on November 12, 1908, and on the 13th was laid to rest in Salem cemetery. The funeral ser vices were conducted by the writer, in the presence of a large congrega tion of sorrowing friends and rela tives. Brother Colley served four years in the Civil War and was a gallant and brave soldier, who never shirked duty. Shortly after returning to his. home lu Plckens county after the war, he Joined the Baptist church at Central. On December 13, 1866, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Sar geant, and to their union were born three girls and two boys. He was ordained to the Baptist ministry at the Salem Baptist church on Sep tember 27th, 1884, and was engaged In active work as pastor up to the time of his death, preaching his last sermon at Mount Carmel on Novem ber 8th. He was taken sick on Mon day night following and died on Thursday. At the time of his death he was pastor of Mount Carmel and Stamp Creek Baptist churches, in this county. Bro. Colley was a Christian gentleman, genuine and true, I never saw one more gentle, more ten ders/with finer powers of discrimina tion between right and wrong. With a tender, sensitive conscience, a scru pulous regard for the rights of oth ers, loving his fellow-men with a sincere desire to help them, this ser vant of God easily Impressed himself upon' his time and generation, and drew from every one with whom he came In contact that splendid appel lation of Christian gentleman. ?He was a true man. He had no patience with the false His high-bred mind soared to lofty heights, while his pure soul walked the royal path of honor and of truth. One of his great sorrows was the vain show of life, the hollowness, the emptiness of society, the make-believes in every walk, social, political and moral. He scorned the imnostor and hypocrite, and not a few times In his life did he scorch them with burning words. To him a true gentleman was the finest type of earthly citizenship. Bro. Colley was a true expounder of the GoBpel of Jesus Christ, and there was none more orthodox and faithful. He did not deal in plati tudes, nor high-sounding phrases, nor did he toll In the meshes of obstruse science. He had no time to sport with rhetoric. Ills language was plain and easy to he understood. His mission was too great, too sacred, to permit him to play with the Word of God. It was our brother's'fond est dream and the passion of his soul to hold the Crucified One up to a serpent-bitten world. But he ls dead; hts eyes are shut alike to scenes of joy and sadness; his Hps are closed forever to the beautiful message of love and warning. His Ideal home was built upon love. Love was the foundation rock and love the shining crown. Home to him mennt service, sacrifice, un selfish devotion, and his home was with his wife and children, who were alwavs first In his heart; so that his heart was his deeper and sweeter home. He Tvas fond of good com pany, given to hospitality, and enter tained his friends royally. He was kind to strangers, and carried sun shine into other homes and made other hearts glad with peace. Many a home has been made the sadder and darker because of bis removal. The heart-broken wife and sorrow ing children may well weep. They have a just cause for sorrow. The light of their home ls gone out and no other one can All that desolate vacancy. Yet we shall meet again where hearts never break with pain and tears never stain the cheeks. We shall meet in some fairer clime, where funerals are no more and fare wells are never said; where the flowers bloom, where the sun does not go down; where the sweetest untes stir through eternity, and where every stream ls a crystal river. Then shall we strike hands and stand with the blood-washed throng. Till that joyous and unspeakable day, farewell! L. M. Lyda. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There ls only one way? to cure deaf ness, and that ls by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the Eustachian tube. When this tube is Inflamed iou have a rumbling sound or im >erfect hearing, ano when lt is en tirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which ls nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The following is the outline pre pared by some of the last summer school teachers and members of the County Hoard for the use of the teachers of the county in pursuing their studies during the winter, lt ls hoped the teachers will provide themselves with text books suggested because the board has found that there is a deficiency in the knowl edge of the teachres along certain lines, which deficiency will be over come by a careful study of tho books suggested. For the present only two classes will be organized, the advanced class being designated as the "First Sec tion." ana the next class as the "Sec ond Section." First Section. Algebru-Begin at factoring und go through quadratics. Arithmetic-"rom first of book through percentage. * English-Syke's Elementary Com position (Basic), with Dock wood and Emerson's Composition and Rhetoric. In connection with the above read "Ivanhoe," "Tale of Two Cities," Macaulay's "Essay on Milton," Burke's "Speech on Conciliation with the Colonies," and Lowell's "Vision of Sir Launfal." Latin-Caesar with grammnr. (This merely suggestive, as the study of this branch will be optional.) U. S. History-(A careful study of this ls requested, as failures on ex amination are alarming.)

HlBtory-(Same as for First Section. ) Geography-(Same as for First Section.) The above ls the result of the agreement at the last Sui imer School for progressive work for the teachers, and as this ls the first of a four year's series we urge that the teachers pro vide themselves with the necessnry text books and begin at once. This we feel they will do If they are In terested In their own Improvement nnd the raising of the standard of our schools. Any Information or assistance will be given at any time by Prof. J. It.

As the time draws near when the term of office of the Superintendent jf Education expires, we wish to 1 2xpro!s? our thanks to Mr. Craig for the interest he has taken in the schools and teachers of this county. ?Ve heartily endorse the administra tion of C. L. Craig as efficient. Mr. Craig, in his official capacity, lias done everything possible to ad vance the best nterests of the schools and we bespeak the senti ment of the majority of the teachers when we say we feel under lasting abllgntlous to him. Not alone has i Mr. Craig discharged his official du- | ties faithfully and well, but he has j ilso stood to the back:; of tho teach ers, befriending us in our trials, for,' Fellow-workers, you know our path ls not always flowery. Fault-finding an the part of chronic critics of the schools (for nearly all communities have them) were never encouraged by him, but he always tried to reason with them, showing them the un pleasantness and disadvantage of Jiscord. Being him self a teacher he knows something cf the injustice and ingratitude with which people 3ften regard us. It ls w'th a feeling of regret that we think ct Mr. Craig's going out of alfice, though with not the least re Section on Mr. Hughs, for we think lie will make an excellent Superln teulent. We feel safe In saying that Mr. Craig has done his full duty as Superintendent of Education, and has put forth every effort for the cause and advancement of the schools In gen?ral. With best wishes to him and his, A Teacher. \ew Afternoon Daily for Greenville. (Greenville News, 19th.)

Dllleials Say Switch was Thrown by Miscreants. Utica, N. Y., Nov. 19.-It became known that a freight wreck which recently occurred on the New York ?md Ottawa Railroad at Derrick, thir teen miles south of Tupper Lake Junction, in the Adirondacks, was the result of a deliberate attempt to derail n passenger train to which was attached the private car of Wil liam Rockefeller. Railroad men insist that the switch was opened by some other than a railroad employee, as the lock had been broken off. It was found lying beside the side of the track.
