The Stale Teachers' association of South Carolina closed its 4Sih annual meeting: yesterday morning at the Columbia high school building, the final session being- devoted largely to a discussion having to do with the employment of a paid fall time secretary and the formation of a closely knit organization. Officers elected yesterday to serve during the ensuing year were A. ."Vinson DuPre of Woffora college, presr -it. /-- ,x4' A :i-?n iden;; vv. >. us .-uncii, *.*01 vice president, and Miss Eunice Wilson of Elloree, second vice president. The secretary, R. C. Burts of Rock Hill, and the treasurer, W. E. Black of Estill, hold over until a subsequent meeting. Miss Washington Pringle of Charleston, J. B. Fulp of Abbeville, E. CI. Wade of Florence and A. J. T hacks ton of Orangeburg were elected members of the executive committee. "Rightful Influence" The most important business before the association yesterday was the consideration of a committee appointed to report a plan of organization of teachers which will secure for them "their rightful influence." The committee recommended that the i>ody be incorporated; that a fuil time paid secretary be employed; that the secretary bring to the attention of ail the teacher?, in the state the need for cooperation. These recommendations were adopted and other recommendations which rthe committee made were changed somewhat. The working out of the details of the plan was left to the executive committee, which was instructed to carry out the recommendations ~ . ti'A *9 of the committee u pussiuic. T. C. Easter]ing of Marion in favoring the motion for a close assoeiation of teachers said there were 10,000 teachers in the state, with access to thousands of home?, and that they had a tremendous influence. By means cf this association "we will know," he said, "who sits in the legislature and we will have representatives there." Attention was called to the fact that the funds- would have to be raised to meet the expenses of a secretary. On motion the dues of all members were raised to $2 annually. The women moved that their dues be made the same as the dues for men and this motion was carried, though not unanimously. After much discussion, the plans for the organization were left in the hands of the executive committee^ W. E. Black, the treasurer, reported that 1,327 women had^ registered and 430 men, making a total of 1.757 who actually registered. Dr. D. B. Johnson of Winthrop spoke of the survey made by the mental hygiene committee and a short report of this work was made by .Mrs. E. S. Watkins of Columbia. The association appointed a committee to cooperate with the South Carolina Citizens' Education associational in its efforts to improve educational conditions. This committee was composed of D. W. Daniel, .T. E. Swearingen, Patterson Wardlaw, D. D. Johnson and S. H. Edmunds. Mrs. F. S. Munsell came before the association and asked that the women express themselves as regards paying a poll tax. Practically all the wowomen voted in favor of paying this tax. Invited to Return F. W. Cappelmann. president of the chamber of commerce, came before the association and. after speaking of the pleasure the presence of the teachers had afforded to Cclunibia, invited them to return next year. Mr. CanDeilmann was accompanied by Frank Pierson, secretary of th? chamber of commerce. The committee 011 resolutions, W. H. McXairy, Dillon, chairman, expressed the thanks of the association to the chamber of commerce for it? numerous kindnesses, to the churches for the use of their buildings, r.o the colleges, to the glee clubs of Chicora and the university, to the officers of the association and to others for the courtesies shown the members. (J. H. Webber of Beaufort was elected delegate to the meeting of the National Education association ir Bo?'on in July. A telegram was read from Lueco Gunter, now under treatment in New York, In which he sent his good wishe> to the association, saying he had attended its meetings for 20 years. Miss Sarah Giiman of the Columbia Teachers' council reported a resolution that body had drawn up, it .being in effect that the association se 'euro spa?*e in one of the Sunday newspapers for the publication a!" educational news and that a committee be appointed to prepare this news. The report was referred !o the committee on resolutions. Alter the- transactor, or various 1 otner business the meeting: was adjourned. I DEMONSTRATIONS IN , BOLL WEEVIL CONTROL "Can cotton be grown profitably under boil weevil conditions?" is a question that is not only of vital importance to the farmer. Jut also to the entire industrial and commercial life of the South. In the opinion of , those who have given the subject care ful investigation, it is the leading nvnVilnM KaIavo TiVi? SPPTIOn t-.'K'laV. The presence of the boll weevil is a factor that must be reckoned with in all future cotton production, as it in every probability has come io stay. This means, that in order to grow cotton, the grower must adopt a new course of procedure a.-= respects his methods of culture, and acquaint himself with, and pur into practice, measures of weevil control, if he is t How to grow cotton under weevil conditions has been well worked out. The bureau of entomology of the 1'. S. Department of Agriculture has i %eer? studying and investigating the : 1 ife history and habits of the boll weevil ever since the insect crossed the Rio Grande river from Mexico in 1892. In the meantime, careful research and experiments have been made with the view of determining : what methods of control, both direct and indirect, can be" used most .economically and effectively. While no device or method has been found | to entirely exterminate the w*-evil,j the department authorities hive dem-j 1 onstrared beyond a doubt, that the j application of calcium arsenate, pro-1 : perly applied, will keep the insect in! check lonjc enough to allow the cotton i plant io develop a full set of bolls, j : There are those who believe that , the measures of control as recom mended and demonstrated by the de-j i partment of agriculture, are the best \ that have been proposed. As an ex-! pression of confidence in the practi-j csbility of these methods of weevil j 1 control, the Atlantic Coast Line rail-, road. Geo. H. McFadden & Bro., Sav-J annanh, Ga., S. M. Bully & Son, Savannah, Ga., cotton factors, Citizens ? SniitliArn hanlc. Savannah, and the Barrett Cotton company, .Augusta,. Oa.. in conjunction \vi:h the Southern Cotton Oil company and the Virginia-j Carolina Chemeial company, who initiated the undertakng, have jointly subscribed to a fund to be used in carrying: out such demonstrations on cotton farms. i In accordance with the arranged program, it is proposed to conduct , demonstrations at approximately forty-two points adjacent to the mill and factory points of the Southern Cotton : Oil company and the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia and Alabama. In all, demonstrations wiil be carried out on something , like three hundred farms in the cotion belt. At each of these location* six or eight farms will bo selected on which calcium arsenate dusting opi orations will be conducted and specific directions given the grower in regard to the preparation of the land, fertilization, planting, cultivating the crop and the application of calcium arsenate, each step taken to be in line , with the proved experience of the Del1 ta laboratory of the United States department of agriculture. j At each point, where a demonstration is conducted, some individual employee of the Southern Cotton Oil company or the Virginia-Carolina ' I Chemical company familiar with and ; qualified to do the work, has been selected, and will be detached from his regular duties to such extent as ; ' may be necessary to supervise and direct the demonstration locally, and to this end an organization as 10 per'.sonnel, methods and machin^-v has ;)een perfected. i The geneiai direction of the \vo>'k .will be under the supervision of Dr. ! A. E. Grantham, diretor of the rgri cultural bureau of the Virginia-Caro lina Chemical company and Dr. T. F. 1 Bargeron of the Southern Cotton Oil company. Dr. Grantham is an expert agronomist, and was for many years connected with two of the stato agricultural colleges and experiment stations, before entering tho .services of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical comi pany. ^ 1 Simple Accounting A tourist in Arizona heard a shot ! and in a short time came uoon a rough looking citizen busy cutting a .V. ar> rlin hnnrlli^ of fl-nn : "H.-ive you killed a man?" he gasp' ed. | "Xope." : "Then why the notch?" a?ked tho relieved Easterner. 4*I only cuts 'em when I misses," paid the bad man. > : {V < > ^ ^ ( ) v^> < > ^ ^ *5b t? ROTARY LUNCHEON < > ifc ' > '*: V> < ,4' ?> <4> ?. vV> $> '*, '*> <$> <$? With a 100 percent attendance, ami a bunch of good speeches, the regular fortnightly luncheon of the Newberry Rotary club on Tuesday afternoon Ijivoved to be one of the most interestj ing and enjoyable that has been held ' in a long time. That, to say the least, <roin<r <07110. While there were a few absentees from the luncheon, several of whom are district convention-ing in Winston-Salem. X. ('.. and another several Hot Spring-ing down in Arkansas, still, let it be truthfully stated that every Rotarian in town was in his place at Tuesday's luncheon. Al though the fact is well known, it might be well to repeat here and now that Rotarians Ha! Kohn, Henry | Wells and Ben Dorrity are representing the local club :it the district convention of Rotary clu js, which is now T TV \ ? -?f lii lil ?? that Rotarians John Kinard, George 'Summer ami Walter Hunt are still enjoying: the ''bawths*' at Hot Springs. And, further, let it be stated that these Rotarians are attending Rotary meetings in those places. "The South Carolina Game Laws" were discussed by Rotarian John Goggans in a most interesting manner, rhe speaker stating that the present, | laws. a> a general thing, are very i 'satisfactory to the sportsmen of this i state. In concluding his talk, Rotarian Goggans stated to the club that he r;is inst installed a Radio set in his 1 office and extended an invitation to his fellow Rotarians to drop in and enjoy the. Ions-distance lectures, concerts, etc., with him. It is needless, to say that the invitation was unani-; mously accepted. j I The next speaker was Rotariar. Haskell Kibler, who talked 0:1 ''Rotary and my Classification." This Rote's talk which was interspersed with jokes at the expense of other Rotarians,' was greatly enjoyed. ' The Hydro-Electric Bill," which I figured largely in the deliberations of the state legislature during its recent session, was ably discussed by RotaIrian Alan Johnstone, state senator | from Newberry county. He also discussed the "luxuries tax'' bill, which failed to become a law at that session. i An invitation to the Newberry Rotary club, extended by the Greenwood Rotary club, to attend a lecture b\ j Dr. Barker, renowned health 'expert.' in Greenwood on the 27th inst.. was read. It is probable that some of the local Rotarians will go to Greenwood : on that occasion. Nominations for directors of the ; club were made at this meeting, and from the number nominated, five will be elected at the nevt regular meet! ing on April 4th. ! Rotarian Louis Hamilton Kohn (al-, ias Hal Kohn, "Dollar Down," "Browse Around"), the live-wjre secretary and treasurer of the local i club, being in attendance at the Rota ry convention in Winston-Salem (and ; not beinjr able to be in more than one 'place at one and the same time) had a? his representative-on-the-spot, Ro; tarian James Kinard, who attended to the duties of the office faithfully, 'and well. i | It was a good meeting?with good ! "eats"?and the local Rotes are look ir.g forward to another meeting just as good on April 4th. Take Yo' Time | ' The dusky minister of a certain I ! j small parish in Alabama was walking along on a lonely road one misty 'night when he fell into a mudhole.

Instructions Obeyed % i The managing: editor of a small city newspaper wheeled his chair 'around and pressed a button on his desk. The subordinate wanted entcr' cd. '"Mere," said the editor, "are a number of directions from outsiders telling: us how to run our ;^aper. See that every one is carried out." And the office bov, ga^herin^ the-in rll in a waitebasKc . did so. An Eye Opener Haitley had left, a rail for seven u U'wirtv. "Hollo?" ho exclaimed sleepily, as the boy knocked on the door. "I swear I'm so sleepy I can't open my eyes." ; "I'll brinjj your bill if you like sir," ' sujrprcsted the bov helpfully. !

Egbert, a tall, gaunt person, entered the manager's ofiice and asked for an engagement. "Who are you?" asked the manager. "I am Egbert, the egg king," was thoreply. "What's your specialty?" "I eat three dozen hen e^gs, two dozen duck eggs and one dozen goose eggs at a single sitting.'' "I suppose you know our policy. "What's that?" ''We give four shows daily." "Fine and dandy." "And do you think you can get rnrougn witn tnem: ' I know I can." "On Saturdays we often give as many as six shows; on some holidays we give a performance every hour." Egbert, the eg? king, hesitated. "In that case," he said, "I must have one thing understood before 1 sign a contract/' "What's that?" asked the manager. "No matter how .rushing business is at thei museum," Egbert replied, "you gotta gimme time enough to eat my regular meals at the hotel."? The Argon a us. NEWBERRY'S CLUB WOMEN * I Mrs. J. H.
