Below is a resolution adopted a few days ago by a county board of educa tion over in Georgia wnicn is wormy of study by every parent who liasj children in school. This Georgia! board thinks that books and not behavior are the things to be taught in the school room and expresses itself in these words: "That the teacher can not take the obligation from the parents of the be-j havior of the children; that discipline is an incident to teaching, and only! necessary for preserving order; that children must be obedient and respectpresumed to be taught behavior at ful to their teachers; that children are home, and the parents will be held responsible ffor the conduct of their children at school; that in case of a failure by children to obey their teacher and abide by the rules of the schools, it shall be the duty of the teacher promptly to notuy me pareuus ui sutu children of their misbehavior, and on continued failure of such children to abide by the rules of the schools, and be respectful and obey their teachers, such children shall be suspended or ( expelled from the school of the county. as the exigencies of the case may demand,; that children must be made to behave, but that the board does not employ teachers primarily to teach ' children to behave; that this is a duty of the parents and can not be shifted to the shoulders of the teacher; that ^^t-is the desire of th^boardthptev; attendance upon the school, but that it is not fair to the remaining children, nor to the teacher, nor to the system of schools, that disobedient and ( in school, hampering the work of the f disrespectful children should remain y other children and the teachers. Chesterfield Booming. ] From he Bennettsville Pee Dee Ad- j vocate of this week we clip the fol- j lowing: "Yesterday we received a letter ( from our old friend Mr. George W. , Miller, in which he stated, that j while he had not walked a sep in two years, yet his general health was good. Mr. Miller is a brother of ^ Mr. P. A. Miller, and father of Mr. Harris Miller, of this city, he purchased a plantation in Chesterfield j County eight years ago, and paid', eight dollars per acre for it, and hasj refused $60.00 per acre. The first year he cultivated the place he made! fifteaa (15) bales of cotton on the entire place, this year bis sons have' already gatheiod. and had ginned fifty (50) bales, and only about two thirds through picking. This year| on one and onc-eiglith (H/y) acres of land they have aleready picked 2.400' pounds of seed cotton, and will gath-j er three hundred pounds more, this 2,400 pounds made two bales weigh-' ing 506 and 526 pounds. They are picking one bale per acre on every acre plaptcd in cotton this year. Mr. Miller's son Fred will sell the seed from this 1 '/S acres at 50 cents perl bushel, and besides the splendid cotton crop, they have made abundant . corn, hay, meat and potatoes. Marlboro blood will tell even in old Chesterfield, and the many friends of Mr. Miller will be delighted to learn of his successful operations beyond the river."
