Hand, one of the leaders in educational thought in the Soutfc, and a pioneer who is blazing the way to brighter paths in the future, wrote an article in which he admonished the school teachers of the State to be careful about making so many changes. He Hrge?d that tihe tjeacher should remain in one place as long as possi ble. All of which is all right theoretically. But the trouble is that the teacher ( is not always responsible for the niov- ; ing from one place to another. There ' is a great deal of unrest in the schools ; in the State and we believe it is due in part to the time of year that the , school year ends. There should be some change in this. The school trustees have 'heavy responsibilities resting upon them and measure up to their duties as well as ] may be expected. But there should , i i De a cnange so mat m ^ LI UOtt\ U j J ] would know in the fall or winter what j ! < they may do for the schools for the I j next year ahead. In that way they j can act more frankly with the teach- j ers. , !, i < Many teachers do not know what | , 11 to expect in the way of pay, if they J, i1 should remain another year, and i many of them do rot know until in j the summer whether they have anyj work at all. For that reason we think j the teachers should receive more consideration. Teaching'is about the hardest work in the world when, it is don6 properly and in order to- invite the best talent into this none to*> attractive field we r think that the teachers should be per- t njutted to know what plans the school have at a time when it will not force t them into hardships in getting places. ?Anderson Mail, t The Mail is right and it is wrong. The teachers, as a rule, have a hard j time of it, and get very meagre pay j and no thanks cr appreciation, but the ; trustees, in this county, at least,! i could and should right now be mak- I ing arrangements for the teachers for j J another year. They know approxi-1 mately what money they will have and ' l how long they can run their school, | or if they do not they can get the in- j s formation from the county superinten- J( dent of education. ; One of the faults of the system is that the relationship between the county superintendent of education I and the trustees is not close enough.! i In fact, the law should .be so made 1 that the sup-erintenednt of education < should be consulted in the selection . of the teachers. If he is competent j j to fill the place he should be better i \" . I _ informed as to the qualifications of the j1 teachers than the trustees and this is * said with no discredit to the trustees, j i I because the superintendent^ is a paid , ( official and it should be his duty to in- ( form himself. i The trouble with the plan of select- ]1 ins a county superintendent is that j 1 the average voter considers the effi- j 1 ciency and competencj7 of the candi- . date for the place as among the last;. and most minor considerations when < he comes tc cast his vote. If he is j a good handshaker, if he agrees with ( the voter on politics, if he is young i. and needs the place, or is old and;, needs it, or any other thing besides j his fitness for the job?these are the ] things that influence even what we 1 term the intelligent voter. There is j your greatest trouble and until the j office is removed from politics, and i the people select meji for this important position on account of their fitness and adaptability for the place, 1 we may whine about the schools and the teachers and the system until our hands are white and there will be no substantial growth or progress and < the children will suffer. 1 mmLMu 1 Why did not Mayor Grace attack 1 Mr. R. S. Whaley's election before 1 the State board of canvassers if lie 1 r wished tc accomplish something??Anderson Mail. That's it. The sooner they drop Jno. P. Grace from the public print the better for the country. Mayor Grace says that the election in the First District was an auction. At the present writing the mayor seems to be the crier?Greenwood Journal. And a mighty good crier at that. If Mr. Grace can't stand to lose he should not play the game. The Exposition edio^n of the Greenville News was just about the biggest and best thing of the kind yet coming to this office. It would have been a credit to a mucn larger metropolis. we must heartily congratulate the management. Congress has appropriated a considerable sum of money to give the various sections of the country an object lesson in good loads building. The appiopriation will be spent in different sections of the country?some in the N'orth, the Middle West and the South. Wilmington Stzir. I* congress, or some other power, could devise some plan or scheme by which the roads could be kept up after they are built then we might lope to have made some progress in road making. We have had some good roads built in this county but for lack of attention the last estate of the road j i is worse than the first. The supreme court says Webb law md laws of this State do not prohibit :he shipping of liquor into the State ?or personal use ana uov. ruease oajo | t will be impossible for the constabl-es ;o distinguish "personal use" whiskey ,'rom contraband and, therefore, he will dismiss all the constables and nake no effort to enforce any liquor aws. Th-e governor is right. Even he blind tigers would ship all their ;oods for personal use and it would je difficult to seize any and yet he " * ~ ' A ~ V?1 Art +A IaaIt of.

The orator of the day was Dr. Pendleton Jones* pastor of the Baptist church at Newberry, and son of Dr. J. William Jones, one of the chaplains in the Confederate army. Dr. Jones is a very eloquent' and learned man. He was handsomely received by his audience and was frequently applauded throughout his speech. He has inherited much of the patriotism and fire of his distinguished father. He is well posted on the stirring events that took place in the sixties. Dr. Jones has facts and figures down to a fine point. He takes decided issue with some of the present day histories of the war, and thinks these ought to be corrected. Erskine Boys at Yandeibilt. A.

Captain Folk was 80 years old at the time of his death. He was a descendant of Jacob Folk who came to this country from Germany in 1740 and settled fcar Columbia.

Cops Ready For Riot Cincinnati, 0., May 14.?The city authorities anticipate serious trouble today after the announcement that the traction company had refused to recogize the new union of the striking street car employes. The company this morning made the first effort to operate cars s^nce the tie-up of transDortation Saturday. Three cars, sur rounded by police, started from the Avondale barns for the business district. Police detectives stationed along the route were instructed to meet force with force. Mayor Hunt trailed the cars in an automobile. Chief of Police Copeland has an emergency squad of a hundred men ready to rush; to the scene of any disturbance. Explaining: the Needle. New York Globe. A typesetter in a printing house became very adroit in explaining the large number of misprints for which he was responsible. Even when he | j changed his work and became a wait- j ! er in a restaurant, his skill did not 1 forsake him. One day he had served a guest with a plate of soup and was turning away, when he was called back sharply. "This is an outrage!" cried the indignant diner. "I find a needle in my soup! What does this mean?" "Just a misprint, sir," explained.the former typesetter. "It should have been a noodle." A MisnDrferstaEdiuc Judge. Indignant Customer (^-jzliing hi.* way into tailor sihop and throwing) 'down a package)?Say, you give me) w - - _ back my money! These new trousers have a patch in the rear!

Pretty Waitress?What makes you I look so miserable, sir? Customer?Why, to tell you the truth, the wife ran away last night. Pretty Waitress?I shouldn't take j i on about that, if I were you.

Unsympathetic Pane?It does, and it goes all the way to he river on the south, and all the way to the main road on the north. But it does not go with my daughter Angela. The Price of Sausage. Chicaeo Record-Herald. A man went into a butcher's shop and asked how much sausages were a pound. "Ah." said th-^ butcher, "der brice vas gon? ups. 1 shal haf to sharge you twentv-viv cents."

The defendant, who was held on the charge of keeping a dog without a license, repeatedly tried to interrupt the evidence, but he was hushed each time by the court. Fnally the clerk turned to him: "Did you wish the court to under stand tnat you reiuse iu renew juui dog licenKo?'* "Yes, but?" "We want 110 'buts.' You must renew your license or be fined. You know it expired on January 1." ; "Yes, but so did the dog."?Harper's Weekly.
