Hear him: "The solution c the race problen is to be found in mab ing life.a burden to idle negroes and t whites who use them to gain politic! ends. Such whites are far more dar g?rons to the peace and welfare of community than their black tools. ! negroes conld get it into their heat that they are disgraced by associ?t in with white men who are satisfied wit such association they would know great deal more about solving the side of the problem."

The Summer School for Teachers. ROCK HILL, S. C., June 19. EDITORS INTELLIGENCER : I presume the people of Anderson County would enjoy reading something of the great teachers' school now in session at Kock Hill, not for the reason only that it is doing work which is of general interest and of great importance to the whole State, but also oecause many of her teachers are here, preparing themselves for doing more efficient work in the highest calling of life-fitting boys and girls to live life completely-to sustain the proper relations to their fellowmen, whenever and wherever they meet them. The school opened Thursday with an enrollment <of about 250, but each in coming train brings others, until the dormitories are all filled, and the au thorities have been compelled to place bed-room furniture in some of the par lors and offices. There are now about 350 in actual attendance upon recita tions. Notwithstanding the immense crowd the accommodation is all that cou?d be wished for, indeed it seems there is little more confusion or trouble in handling and providing for the large number than there is in the ordinary family, so perfect is the organization and so adequate are the buildings, and their appointments. No place in the State could have been more suitable for just such an institution, and cer tainly the teachers could have found no more cordial welcome awaiting them anywhere than has been extended them by Winthrop College, and the town of Rock Hill. . There are regular recitations con ducted in a great many departments, and there is plenty of work, hard work, for all students, but with this one finds sometime for social intercourse, and it has been a great place for the re newing of old friendships, We have met many of our old college chums, and find great delight in rehearsing the many pleasant incidents of college life; indeed, some of us fellows feel like we were nothing more/ (nothing less, I mean, for our wives are not here) than college boys again, and some of the young (?) women, well they are real spry and gay. You would think they had never been cross in their lives; no, not even in school. The following are the teachers here from Anderson County, with the course taken: From the Anderson Graded Schools, Supt. Thos. C. Walton, physiography and victorian poetry; Miss Nora Hub bard, primary "methods, drawing, phy siology, vocal music; Mrs. M. E. Noweil, victorian poetry, arithmetic, Drawing; Miss Emily Divver, physiography, arithmetic, vocal music and drawing; Miss Mamie Harkness? physiography, arithmetic, vocal music and drawing; Miss Zula Brock, physiography, arith metic, vocal music and drawing; Miss Docia Brock, physiography, arithmetic, vocal music and drawing; Miss Lillie Fant, physiography, arithmetic, vocal music and drawing; J. W. W. Daniel, primary methods, vocal music, drawing and grammar; Miss Fannie Watkins, trigonometry, arithmetic, physiology^ Miss Lottie Crosby, physiography, arithmetic and physics; Miss Margaret Branson, Greek and Latin; Mr. Herbert Nowell, physics and English; W. B. West, Belton High School, school management, Latin, English and gram mar. John J. McMahan, Superintendent, and Zack McGee, Assistant, are doing all they can for the comfort and profit of their large school. That they are succeeding, every teacher in the build ingwill attest. They have done a grand work for the State in providing for thif school. ' Their efforts are sure to beai fruit. We believe South Carolina wil] be a better State on account of this opportunity for her teachers. xxxx. Trinity Items. We have been blessed with refresh ing showers.

Mrs. .J. d. Duckworth ha charge of the training; of the scholar! which accounts for the success of th occasion. Miss Rosa Welborn, one c Lebanon's most charming and accom plished young ladies, had charge of tl) singing, and this accounts for th school having such melodious inusii In short, the Lebanon congregatio deserve much praise for the success ( the occasion. .May the richest bles: iugs of Heaven ever attend the congix gntibii.

This was one of the brightest and sweetest little boys of this section, and was the only boy in the family, the favorite of its father, the pet and sun shine of the household and the oldest of the family. It is a severe stroke to these fond parents, who will so sorely miss the music of the childish prattle and the patterings of the little feet and his sweet little winsome ways. Our deepest sympathies are stirred for them, and especially the father, who will most keenly feel the absence of the little one. How hard it is for Kim to go back to the silent home-from the little mound of earth down in the cemetery beneath which the precious dust has been left.
