Kennedy Williston, Nov. 28.—The most bril liant social event Williston has ever seen was the celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Q. A. Kennedy. Twenty-five years afro this charming couple plighted their vows on a night of mist, rain, sleet and darkness; but in spite of this inauspicious omen their lives have been unusually hap py, and nature, as if in atonement for her former harshness, gave them a lovely night for their silver anni versary* Their handsome, colonial home was a fit setting for the distinguished looking couple and their attendants.

On November 16th we left Augusta and drove to Albany and spent the night. ' We found material damage beginning east of Macon and then it grew’ heavier and heavier on into Al abama. Very little effort is being made in this section to corrtbat the weevil. At Leary, Ga., we found a great many peanuts and the coun try in a more prosperous condition. On Tuesday we drove from Columbia 4 Albany to Dorthan, then to Geneva and on to Enterprise. At this place we found a- very prosperous condi tion and could easily see why’. En terprise and the County of Coffee was renowned for the growing of pea nuts and hogs. Over one hundred car loads of hogs was shipped from Coffee County last year. It was at Enterprise that we bought a car load of peanut seed, 12 tons. White Span ish, 11 tons N. C. Runner. We found that about as many of the runners are planted for safe as the White Spanish. Apparently using only the tmils from the Hampton Garage, Hampton, and their usual supply of soft soap and nitroglycerine, yvggmen blew the safe of the Hampton postoffice dur ing Saturday night, securing in the neighborhood of $7,000 in loot. In cluded in their haul* were liberty bonds to the value of $6,798.41, which were received at the post of fice Sunday morning, consigned to the Bank of Hampton. The remain der of the loss, $1,498,41, consisted of war savings stamps, postage stamps and cash. Barnwell Chapter American Legion.

The adoption of the resolution was moved by Prof. Patterson Wardlaw mkL were adopted without a dissent ing vote. While the resolution states that the teachers council stands for co operation, disclaims any intention of resorting to strikes or similar meth ods for the attainment of its ends. The resolution in full as submit ted and approved was as follows: “At a meeting of the teachers’ council of the Columbia city schools on November 17, 1919, the sentiment prevailed that the time had. come when teachers must improve tAeir professional standing and, to that . -end, must act as a group. The pub- lic good requires that the profession be more highly appreciated by the cqpimunity ayd that teachers be rec ognized as experts in their chosen fields. Therefore, a professional or ganization of teachers is necessary as in the case of all other professions such as lawyers, physicians, dentists and nurses. "In view of the above facta, the following resolutions are hereby pre sented : * "Be it resolved: ‘‘That teaching is a profession and the public mind must be taught to recognize it as such. ’.’That it is he duty of the State to place all teaching on a profes sional basis. ‘‘That the profession will continue to strive for high standards of pro fessional qualification. "That it stands for cooperation but disclaims any intention of resorting to strikes or similar methods for the attainment of its ends. "That women teachers should re ceive the same salary as men when doing the same work. "That members of this profession should be paid a wage that will en able them to support those dependent upon them, and that they may take a proper place in the community and enjoy their due share of social and recreational opportunities.” The resolution was signed by W. F. Warren, chairman; Nan Crayton, Mary H. Mcighan, Lucy R. Hoyt, W. "C. Ikenberry. It was approved by Patterson Wardlaw, Josiah Morse, Miss Sarah Moore-and A. C. Flora. Mr. and Mrs Ralph Smith spent Thanksgiving Day in Columbia. Potato House in Allendale. The sweet potato crop has been found an excellent way to combat the ravages of the boll weevil. The po tatoes must be cured by regular po tato houses.
