Togniinson & Co , of Olanta, has gone north to secure a milliner and to urchase an up-to-date line of millinery spring and summer dress goods, for his enterprising firm, which he says will ,~be the best ever shown in this section. War and hard times do not seem to have hurt his business, for he says his firm has sold more goods for cash, this January and February than it bas be fore, the same two months, of its pre Svious hiistory. Died last Thursday at his home in the Fork, about six miles east af Man n ing, Mr. John Witherspoon Huggins, Sthe second son of the late Dr. G. Allen Huggins. The deceased was about 30 years of age and the father of eleven children. He was in the service of the :tcounty as a rural policeman, and in the discharge of this duty he contracted a severe case of pneumonia. He was a 'faithful officer. The funeral took place in the Manning cemetery Friday after noon, Rev G. P. Watson; pa:;tor of the s Methodist church conducted the ser Svice. Mr. Huggins is survived by his -widow and eleven children, one broth Y er, and several sisters. Doubly sad is this a ftiiction, in that,while the father was taken the eldest son Allen was ex -tremelv ill with the same disease in an g adjoining room, and unbconscious of -what happened, and on Saturday he atoo, was called to his lone rest, the young man named for his grandfather, was a stalwart boy, about 22 years of age and unon whom the parents large l depended. This is indeed a sad vis 1I itation, and one that. hnas aroused the Nsincere sympathy of the community. The funeral of Allen took place Sun day in the presence of a large gather in of friends and relatives. Rev. L. SB.

From this issue of The Times there ate only 12 days before the colored schools must assemble for- the county school f air and Field Day Anniversary tn Manning. It is hoped that teachers of negro oublic schools in the county, who are ot in full possession of the plans and announcements for the occasion will attend the County tsachers meeting here next Saturday in the colored graded school building, to obtain furth er instructionS and assist in the final arrangements. In our ltrst egfort last year we had unexpected success midst iany disadvaintages. In making that occasion glorious and successful, both colored and wvhit.e people gave assist ance. Our aim this year is to have equal success and a grander display Don't listen to the "'war cry." Ever-y. loyal parent and whole-soul teacher vil lose no tir e from now until Mar-ch 9th, for a nala day with the public schools.

A. MYERS. Pres. Col. Teachers Association. Mistaken Alms in T--ching A paper read at the last meeting of the Teachers' Association of Clarendon :ountv: Beind everything there is a thought -that is an ideal: and it is our princi pal task in life to find out true ideals n every instance, and shape our aims oward their realization. This is pecu iarly necessary in the profession of teacing, which, taken in its broa~d tense, is perhaps the finest work (and he poorest business) in the world. Now, as there is a certain work proper to every type of school, so there is a certain excellence that each kind may strive for, and though along such ines the teachers efforts simply can not be too strenuous, it is a mistaken aim to try to make a school what it is not. It has been well said that there is no such thmng as beauty per se, 'that is in itself-for true beauty lies ir a:s armony with the surroundings. It ould not be beautiful for your servant in the kitchen to prepare the meal arrayed in evening dress. Even so there is no excellence except in the daptation of means to a definite and suitable end. I am a great believer in teachers doing the utmost they can torneet com munity needs, and even community de sires; but I am obliged to admit that it is a mistake for a school to undetiiake aught more than its teaching force and its equipment enable it to do well. Jr word,~the teacher's aims s'ouid be? practicable-adapted to the time and place, and calculated to manke the chool of real service to its peope. There is a tendency in the present day for high schools, and even conmon schools, to ape the collegre. I recollect Professor Hand, referring to this ten dency, wrote me once that. in his opinion, a baccalaureate sermom iind a literary address were too pretentious for even any high school; and lie citcd with approval the example of Prl so Dreher, who was that year prepain to close the Columbia High Sebool with a simple debate amoug the stu dents as a main feature. And ' et al most every little school r.ow-a-days, running, it may b~e, only six or seven months, must have its elaborate com-* mencement, must contrive to secure some literary speaker, somc bacea laureate divine-it is a wonder tht there are enou~zlh of them to go r*ound' -and, in many instan:es, curtails its already insufficient term to have a com mencement of two or three cays, 10 mittnn of the l..ager schools which, 701 s and All I :ost! we mention 1c.40I sc. -c Hundreds of Ya )c. Madras an Ic.______ _ ~c.At 4P. M., S ' 5-Quart Gray Enam Sc.S r 27th, 1915, r pocke't, We are daily g ys live up to our slogan-* in turn, approximate as closely to col lege standards as they possibly can. It urldosnot require a Solomanto tell sthttetoo elaborate cbmmence ment represents a waste of time and resources. College is thereby antici pated, and robbed of something of its iistinction; and the school takes or what does noL belong to its own charac ter and scope. It must not be supposed here thatI am speaking of bigher or lower, of superiority or inferiority. Indeed, at present, I have not this distinction in mind. I am thinking only of what is right for any school to aim at in view~ of its circumstances and limitations. Every school has its own part to play in the march of progress-and rightly done, that part cannot possibly be un important. The striyling David was not inferior to the warrior Saul, and vet the armor of the Hebrew king did ot suit the daring boy. No one can be more friendly than myself to any form of real progress to the new things which mark new needs arisic;; from new conditions--and~ yet I truly believe we lose more than e gain when we crowd out the regu lar course of study, or make it practi cally subordinate to fads, for,- say, athletics or manual training, or any thing else which, however excellent it may be, takes up, perhaps, the time actually needed for lessons. It is not a question whether these things arE good; for that they are I would be the last person to deny. The only cques tion is, whether we have time to un dertake them and yet do full justice to the course of study. If not, if we make them principals and not accessories. i; they supersede the mental trainin2 proper which the pupil is supposed to go to school to get, then yet reluctantly I must class them among the mistaker aims. I believe that we can better trust a child to procure for himself the exercise that his physical wvell-being demands than we can trust him te master a geometrical proposition, the binomial theorem, or a drama of Shakespere unurged and unaided.I believe, useful as itoften proves. that we had better let manual training go, during the school age at least, that mss the intellectual culture which isa foundation for all clse, and without which no one can specialize to the best advantage-the culture which through just s'ich studies as geography, history~ Englih, mathematics and tne "fairy~ tales of science" give the stcudenta knowledge of the great and beautilul facts that broaden life, and make him not the cr-aftsman of a~ village hut the citizen of a world-"heir of all the ages 'n the foremost ranks of time." It is my own conviction that in the mangemnt of a school, a teacher should aim at the positive r-ather that at the negative. It is a mistake tc tea down so much; we should build ul: and constr-uet. Measures should be as little r-epre-ssive as possible. The very best way, indeed, of repr-essing a fault is to implant a vir-tue A bad habit may be oveome with least effort by encoraing a good one to grow and crowd it out. Sunpose a pupil is sulleri and disobedient; if we fight this evil dispstion we may get the victory only under such conditions ats mnake it little worth. But if we use our best ttct, and skill to infuse contidence, tc erate pleasant, happy feeliou's, anda sir t of submission because submissiori is flt. to oe the best, then indeed we ma be truly victorious. T aim at a too rigid uniformity 1i ones pupils. as if they were so many nin'ins, or- machine-made things sold in boes, is atn error. Somethmet mnust 'in every mstauce, be concelied to orig Iinaity.' We should not try to reduc' all o'one dead level. Even our ow, ideas of ner fection oug ht to some exter. 0 lbe ad just able. We should not for get that to have our pupils p'erf-:ct ac co-a ing to our own particular standard: mi'ht destroy their individualism.

Take the mischievous, irre pressible child "into everything,", terror to teachers, of perhaps we said, in our haste, that he would surely come to no good end, Do we always find him in after life behind the prisoc bars? No, most likely time has ripened him into the useful tyvpe of character that in some way or other puts its shoulder to'the wheel of the world's work. How often the troublesome child, so hard to "keep -straight" as people say, develops into the man or woman of couraire and initiative-the very one we would look to in an emer gency. Do not these experiences teach us that school ougbt not to be a place where personality is under a ban be cause it does not appeal to the peculiar tastes of the teacher, but that it should be the place above all others where the children are helped to truly "find themselves?" But the errors of a weak or insuffi cient aim are pernaps more numerous than all others. The aim which stops short of the goal-which in the recita tion room, is satisfied with what Ham let calls "words, words, words," for getting that words are of no valne ex cept as the signs of ideas; the lack, of all attempt to m-akx facts real, livig and interesting, and to relate them to the pupils own experience, the failure to suggest the moral or religious truth which ever goes hand in hand with the intellectual, and which the young life so sorely needs that it may not suffer shipwreck-these are some of the things that mark deficient aims So far as the teacher personally i.s concerned, there is no doubt that stan dards are more exacting now 'than they have ever been. The teacher is expected to have high aims-must keep a thoroughly good school (with all that that implies) study the lessons assigned, read the best literature, and kee p up with current events. All this is right and necessary-and yet it would be a mistake for the teacher to be content with the life of a recluse, and aim at a scholarly retirement. This would be to miss the opportunities for both giving and getting to whi"ch edu cation and talent peculiarly entitle one. A good example for the teacher, as for every one to whom much has been given, is that of "the man by the side of theroad" first mentioned of old by Homer, whose thought has been thus paraphrased by a later writer: "Let me live in a house by the side of the road Where the race of men go by The men who are good and they who are bad As good and as bad as I, I would not sit on the scorner's seat Or hurl the critics ban. - . Let me live in my house by the side of the road And be a friend to man." For the teacher perhaps beyond most othersought to be one imbued with the love of humanity, and his 'ideal, of ideals should be the aim of service. No lasting mistakes are possible to man or woman who has once found out the great truth that "To give is to live, ro deny is to die." HELEN E. MALONE, Principal Davis Sta. School. Value of Ashes. A ton of average hardwood ashes contains 100 pounds of potash, 32 pounds of phosphoric acid, and 640 pounds of lime, or about one-third of the latt-er. Tree trimmings run 100, 50 and 376 pounds, respectively. Weeds will doubtless average about the yield for hay and straw or 30; 20 'and 100. Coal ashes are practically valueless as fertilizer, but improve the physical condition of close or sticky -soils.

Tolstoy, who knew the Cossack, doe scribes him in his novel, "The Coo sack," as follows: "He looks upon a woman as the instrument of his well being. As long as she is unmarried she Is allowed to make merry; but once a wife. she must put aside the pleasures of youth and work even till the end of her days to add to his com fort. .He is thoroughly orientaJ in his demand upon her obedfence and toil. As a result of this state of things, the women, though to all appearances in subjection, become powerfully devel oped, both physically and morally, and, as lb commonly the case in the East, possess incomparably more influence and consecuence in domestic affairs than in the West. The Cbssack, who in the presence of strangers regards It unbecoming to talk affectionately or gossip with his wife, cannot help feeling her superiority wbhen he is left alone with her." Critics Disagree A good story is told by Prfess~? Lounsbury that shows in the mnatter of poets, critics hold varying opinions According to the professor, Aubrey De Vere, the Irish poet, collected on the same day the opinion of three Qf his brother poets on the poetical standing of Burns. One of these po ets, who was 'Tennyson,. said Burns songs were perfect, but that one had to forget his serious pieces to en joy them. The. second, who was Wordsworth, said that Burns' "seri ous efforts" showed great genius, bUt that his foolish little amatory poems were worthy only of oblivion. The third was Sir Henry Taylor, who said that he found Burns' songs and his serious poems alike tedioits and dis agreeable. Saving for the -roy. As my friend Jones dropped a letter in the mall box he remarked: "There goes $3,000 for my boy the day he casts his first vote;" I inquired where this precious letter was going. "MW resignation to the board of governors of the club," said he, naming one of the four or five of which he is a mem ber. Then he proceeded to explain. "It costs me $100 a year to walk Into that club about ten times. I'm going to deposit that $100 each year forimy son, investing whenever the sum - is considerable enough. In the twenty years from now untir'that election d&ly when the baby's first ballot- Is putin the slot, the agete of these club dues and interest will amount to $3000. Am I 'wise?" I'll just pass . hiis question along to you.-Glrmd, in Philadelphia Ledger. Origin of Old Joke. Harper Pennington has sevgealed the origin of the "standing root only" joke: It appeais that there was hard ly ever an-y furniture In Whistler's house. He was peculiarly parsimo ious in the matter of chairs. This led to a. remark of Corny Grain's which became famous. "Ah, Jimmy! Glad to see you playing to such a full house!" said Dick (Corny) Grain when shaking hands before a Sunday lunch eon, while glaring around the studio with his large, protruding eyes inL search of something to sit on. "What do you mean?" asked Whistler. Standing room only," replied the
