I cannot accomplish my purpose alone, hut must hav> 'he hearty co-operation ol tru "cs. patrons and teachers. Lei us catch the spirit of Nehemiah when he un dertook to build the walls of Jerusa lem under the greatest opposition and difficulty. Nehemiah succeeded in rebuilding the walls because he and his workmen bad a mind to work. If the trustees, patrons, (cachera and Superintendent ?ill have a mind lo work, and wil 'ill together, Oconce county will sc the best and most progressive school year in her history. I trust thal you have exercised the greatest ?are in Ibo selection or your teacher This is a matter of the greatest importance. An incom petent teacher will set his pupils j back one, year instead of advancing t hem io ti higher grade. Salary warrants tor teachers who fail to have their certificates Hied itt ibis o Ul ce and properly endorsed I will not be honored until the law ls complied with. Section 1761 o! the (e-n. ral Si hool Law of South faro lina, printed in I!)12, clearly shows thal it is tho duty of every Board of Trustees lo employ only those ? ich-' ! er., who have ceri i neates.

Thc trus tees of every school district should, therefore, see to if that every teacher. principal and assistant, white and colored, has a valli South Carolina certificate recorded here. Trustees sometimes neglea to see that their teachers give me a full and correct report of their scltoolsat the j close .of the year. This is ;. very, very important mai ter: first, I am required by law to make an annual report to the Slate Superintendent of Education, which I cannot make . ertainly not an ac< unite one unless teachers give me full and ac curate reports; and. secondly, the amount of money your district gets depends on the cn roi linen I in your district. Therefore, you should see to ii that I get a complote and accu rate report of every school In your district. Very respectful!) Thos. A. Smith.

Their horses were unsaddled and hobbled at some dit!ance ?rom the campfire, The posse advanced stealthily, dismount ed ami climbed the rugged sides of the mountain until they gained a ridge around Ibo canyon. Crom this point a volley was poured down upon the Mexicans. Al the first volley one Mexican was killed and the rest dashed for the protection of boulders and returned tho lire. The posse killed one of the remaining four at the next volley. Orozco and a companion theil al I em pt cd to secure the shelter of a small draw.
