ty welcome, anProf. J. C. Hungerpiller,
of the McBee school, was called
upon to respond in behalf of the teachers.
which he did in a very charming
manner.
Superintendent Rouse then explained
some of the objects of the
'Teachers and Trustees Associations,
and explained that the special reason
for this joint meeting was for the purpose
of explaining, discussing and
arranging for Field Day which is to
be.held at Chesterfield Court House
on the 28th of this month. He explained
the object of Field Day and
said he was very much gratified at the
Interest displayed, and of the cooperation
he was receiving from the teachers.
the trustees, parents of the children
and from the children themselves.
and as a result of which he
was sure the event was going to be
a great success.
In the course of his talk Mr. Rouse
made a statement which was very

gratifying. He said that last year
but of 45 counties in the State Chesterfield
was fortieth in the list per
capita, but that already this year she
was pushing close to tenth place and
he felt sure she would land safely in
tenth place before the close of the
vear. Last year Chesterfield raised
only about $6 per capita for educational
purposes, and this year the per capita
has already been increased to a
tittle more than 513, and he gave the
teachers and trustees associations the
credit, saying that without the hearty
cooperation he had received from
hem he could have accomplished very
little, and he went on to say that the
hearty cooperation or tne teacners ana
the trustees''was bearing great fruit
in all of the schools. He stated that
there were only five school districts in
the county that had no special levy
for the benefit of their schools, but
that at least three of these will hold
elections in the near future. As an illustration
of the general interest being
taken in the cause of education in
the county, Mr. Rouse told of instances
where the people went down in
their pockets and subscribed liberally,
in addition to voting for. special
levys. Mr. Rouse also called attention
to the Summer School for teachers,
explaining that the matriculation fee
of every teacher attending from this

county would be returned and that
the expenses of every teacher taking
the full six week's course would be
'returned, and that preference would
be given, in the selection of teachers,
to those who attended the summer
school.
Mr. W. J. Tiller^told about the farm
demonstration schools in the county,
of which there are three. He told
.why there were only three and said
that he hoped to have the full quota
another year.
j The program for Field Day as pubas
published in last week's Chronicle
was here read and explained, after
which Prof. 0. H. Orr made a talk on
the Moral Side of the Question of
Field Day. Prof. Orr was listened to
with close attention and was liberally
cheered when he closed.
After Prof. Orr's talk the Teachers
Association held a business session.
Dinner was served in League Hail
by the citizens of Cheraw.

Columbia, March 9?Yesterday there
died at the Confederate Soldiers' home
in Columbia the oldest veteran ever ,f
admitted to the institution, J. F. De- 7
Merritt, aged 94; and also Joseph
Gidiere, aged 84. Mr. DeMerritt was '' . -j
a native of'Newberry, Mr. Gidiere was
a native sof Charleston.
Mr. DeMerritt was a veteran ofi the . ss
l ,
Mexican war as well as of the War ;,
Between the Sections. The latter he
entered in 1861 as a private in the I'JH
Forty-fourth infantry regiment ot
Mississippi, under Gen. \ P. Anderson.
He was admitted to the home in May, . sjt j
1912. He had been making his living
in Newberry county by trapping. He JnB
was traveled, of bright mind and ot ""JflPfP - *

able to move about the grounds for
the last year only by the use of
crutch.
Gidiere was /born August 5.
1834, and in 1861 enlisted as a private
in the South Carolina Rangers.
He had been in bad health for some
time,-but his death yesterday, which
occurred some hours after that of

28 of apoplexy. He entered Com
pany G, Sixth South Carolina cavalry,
under Gen. M. C. Butler, in 1862.
Wha* He Means.
When a man eays the world wont
take him at his true value, what he
means is that the world won't accept
his own exaggerated opinion of himself.
His Inference.
Robert had been dutifully listening
to the conversation of his parents.
They were discussing a certain Mrs.
Smith who was tagged in their talk
as a grass widow. "I say, pa," said '
Robert after some reflection, "is a
grass widow a woman whose husband
died of hay fever?"
