tlat it was sold for the small sum of ]
ten dollars.
III. Young's school formed by the f
consolidatioll 'he Walate Lodge 1
. hool and Fl- : l school, occupies t
coniodious building consisting of <
Wo large rooms connected by fold- 1
g partitions and so capable of be- t
ig inade into an auditorimn for the
urpose of lectures and other exer
kcises. The building is equipped wit'h I
modern desks and a library. We have I
recently added a 'handsome teachers r
lchair and table; a large drawing and I
reading table; map of United States; r
flag of United States; engravings of 1
all of the presidents; a series of o
Longfellows engraving; some copies I
of famous pictaures; charts; a wash I
-basin -and towels. A donation has t
been made to the, reading room of '
the Younth's Companion and - The P
Little Folks' Magazine. The Daily i
State is used to get up current events. <
The building has been pointed inside i
and outside. Thus from a twenty- I
ve dollar school building and I
Prounds and a dilapidated rented I
louse, we have a well furnished mod- 1
.rn building.
Value of whole property at pres
lit $1,000.
This method of giving prizes has
proved so successful that the state
association has this year offered 15 1
prizes under the same regulations.
Five are to consist of $100 each and t
10 of fifty each. Applications for
.hese are already being received.
Two bulletins of general interest to
embers of the association have
en issued by the executive commit
e, within the last year.
The association has been officially
laced upon the roll of the Federa
on of Womans' Clubs and will be
represented at the annual meeting in
lay by two delegates %who are to ser
,e on t;he program.
The Federaition has placed at the
disposal of the School Improvement
association its 130 traveling libraries
and its traveling art gallery. Mrs.
Eugene B. Heard of Middleton, Ga.,
who is the Gen. Supt. of the Free 1
Traveling Library System of S. A. L., 1
has made t-he president very cour
teous offers of the use of her travel
ng libraries and also offered to fur
nish seeds, etc., for school gardens.
It is to this library system that Mr. I
Carnegie contriibuted so liberally
when, it was first put in operation.
Although I was given no' time li
mit I fear I have already trespass- 1
ed my .time but in conclusion . would i
like to say that I believe a great
future awaits woman's work in every I
outhern state. We can not expect
to accoml)lish every thing in a short
ime, and al-though we may meet with
ailures at times we must ''screw
ur courage to the sticking place'
id go forward with the determina
ti(%n to conquer tle absurd idea that
four' bare walls and, a few straight
ack b)enchies constitute a 1place snit

Tie problem of improving the ru,ral
se iools is tile greatest thlat we have
'to solve today. The foundation of
ednetion of the mapority of our
people is laid in the rurall sel;ools.
This faert alone will bring us to t.he
conclusion that to give th'e children
in t.he rural schlools better advan

Tine bills went through the Fifty
inth congress, of blessed memory,
or t:he construction of nine dams
cross the river. They passed both
lie senate and the house of repres
ntatives and were signed by tie
>resident of the United States .nd
hus the law of the land, and the
ams are being built. But who did it?
Senator Latimer, who is here now
ttending the meeting of the immi
ration commission,.of which he is a
101nmber says lie didn't do it, that is,
to didn't do jt all. Mr. Aiken just
tow is down in Savannah attending
hearing before the United States
riny engineer, Col. Kingman, about
hese very dams. Ie hasn't been
card from but it might be supposed
hat lie had something to do with it.
Yell, it is Ike this: Mr. Aiken is
J)out the biggest, dam man there is
n either house or congress. He stood
In the floor of the house amidst ad
airing friends and colleagues for the
'ull space of fifteen minutes one day
oward the close of the session and
>assed a whole handful of dam bills.
lIt here now conies along some cor
'esPoIdent from Anderson and i)
imd says that Senator Latimer lis
lie only original and onliest. Only
hen it comes to dams that there is.
3enator Latimer heard about this and
ie tells The State's correspondent
%hile sitting around the willard ho-i
el that he is thankful for the honor'
onferred upon him by the Anderson
orresq)ondent, but really lie isn't the
mily dam man in congress from
south Carolina.
''My attention has been called tol
lie fact that certain ones in Ander-I
on have doiie me the favor of giving
no entire credit for getting through
hese bills,'' says Senator Latimer,
'and than in a certain dispatch to
['he State a -few days ago and i.n one
>f the South Carolina paper (The
iews and Courier) an injustice was
lone to Mr. Aiken, in that all the
redit' for these dams was given to
no and none to Mr. Aiken. I wish
;o say that I am in no way responsi
kle for these reports. Of course, I
ind nothing to do with the passage
)f these bills in t:he house and MIr.

'or having drated. but. on passage
Umd got through these bills in the
iouse. In fact he originated most of
hem, and all I did was to do my
>art with them when they came to
he senate. I have not claimed any
hing else and I 'am surprised that in
nentioning it full credit has not been
riven to Mr. Aiken for lie is certain
y entitled to it. I consider Mr. Aik
mi an untiding worker and a useful
neinber here. He has always looked
rfter the interests of his constituents,
ind T eertainly hope tahtt lie will be
eccorded full credit for his work in
on,nection with these Savannah river
laims.'
Now that. is the first trouble about
tic dams. There is another. C'ol.

owecr compulamies which arue construct

heIiy say it costs too much money and
lie locks are of no0 use anyway. The
lower' companies and orners interest

there never has been any navigation

''there were some boats on it, which
were poled by slaves.
''These boats carried cotton down
to Augusta anid brought black sup
plies. Then there was no railroads
along there and the people had to
use the river, and they had the slaves
to do it. The poling is so hard that it
is impossible to get anybody to .pole
it except slaves, and since the aboli

boats there to aiouniit to alnything,

there is no navigation is, that now'
