Miss Sadie Goggans has resigned as supervisor of rural schools for Newberry county and the board at a meeting on 'Tuesday accepted the resigna tion. Miss Gogg^ns resigns to accept a similar position in Richland county. Tl e board decided not to fill.'ihe positio^. owing to the fact that the money is not available to bear the expense. At the close of the school year the board fund was overdrawn $68, and the salary of the rural supervisor has been paid largely from tf is fund. Miss Goggans is a very enthusiastic anri intAlliVpnt worker and was much interested in the schools of Newberry county. She was active in the organization or improvement associations among the rural schools ancU did much to improve conditions by visits and encouraging talks to the patrons and ci ildren.

Concerning fete appointment of Miss Goggans, J. E. .Swearingen, State superintendent of education, said yes terday: "In securing the services of. Miss Sadie Goggans as supervising teacher for Richland county, the new county board of education and the patrons of the public schools are peculiarly fortunate. Miss Goggans comes to Ridiland from her home county of Newberry, where sl-e has served as super vising teacner xor iue ya.sL two ;cais. Her marked success has won her a reputation not only in the State, but throughout ithe South. While fcer first duties related directly ,to teaching methods and classroom efficiency, she was vitally interested in every public scToo! problem and gave, herself energetically and ungrudgingly. to any task that needed to be doneRecord 5n dewberry. "Largely in consequence of her work Newberry county now boasts of one of the best corps of teachers in the State.

"In her work Miss Goggans stands for thorough scholarship, the best professional methods and continued growth and study in teachers. Herself a graduate of the Newberry city schools and of Winthrop college, she has taugi" t successfully in her native State and in the West. "Her experience covers Dotn rural and urban schools. Her success in the elementary grades of the Dallas schools brought her an offer of the c!':air of methods in one of the Texas State normals.

Special to The Herald and News: (Nashville, Tenn., July 15.?Dr. G. B. | Winton made an address on Mexico last Wednesday. His subject was "Armed Intervention in Mexico." Having lived for twelve years in Mexico, j Dr. Winton is thoroughly familiar with the social, political and economic conditions in that country. He therefore is bitterly opposed to intervention. His reasons are: "It is unjustifiable; it would be detrimental to Mexi ico; it would be disadvantageous ito the United States, and it would arouse the hostility of the other Spanish! AmpriMn States." On Wednesday nigf:t of last week the students and faculty of Peabody college had the rare privilege of attending a reception and recital given at Ward-Belmont. The grounds and buildings were inspected with much interest and admiration, after which delightful refreshments were served. All present pronounced it a most enjoyable feature of tf' e summer school. The pageant given on July 3rd by all the Scates was quite an educational feature, as well as an interesting one. The South Carolinians were very attractive in their decorations of cotton bolls and palmetto flags. Their conj tribution to the Goddess of Liberty I was a symbol of the industrial prod| uo;s of the State. At the general assembly Monday Miss Ola Powell of ti'"e United States department of agriculture spoke on the "Girl's Canning Club," -outlining its recent growth and its place in the economic ' side of rural life in the South. During the entire week demonstration canning lessens and excel'ent talks on this work were given on the Peabody campus under the beautiful trees.
