To tho Teachers of Kershaw Coun ty: The Study Center for the teach ers of Kershaw county will hold its first session at the' High School in Camden, Saturday, October 27th, be ginning at 10 a. in. The following courses will be offered: I. English: (I) English Grammar; (2) Public School Literature, by Pro fessor J. Thompson Brown, Head De partment of English, Winthrop Col-, lege. II. Education: (1) Classroom Man agement, J. ,0. Richards, Superinten dent City Schools, Camden. i III. Primary Methods: (1) Elemen tary; (2) Advanced, Miss A. Winton Parks, Supervisor, Primary Grades, Winthrop Training School. Professor Brown rapks among the first teachers of English in the nation. He ia peculiarly gifted in teaching teachers. In building up tho Camdon Schools Superintendent Richards has fehown unusual ability which has ranked him among the leading superintendents of the state. Miss Parks is not only a remarkable teacher of children, but her long ex perience at Winthrop has made her an effective teacher of teachers. She has charge of the primary wirk in the Spartanburg Study center, the oldest in the State. , The Study Center, conducted in co operation with the Extension Division of Winthrop Colloge, is a training school for teachers to give both be ginners and the experienced oppor tunities for systematic study and es pecially for advancement in the pro fession. There will be ten meetings, start ing next Saturday, then every other Saturday for the rest of the term. At the first meeting an introductory lesson will be given; then the work will be outlined for the .two. following weeks. This outline will include both materials for study and methods for i m met! i a te use in the ^cKo olr o o m . . ' Art the next meeting leachers will report difficulties they have met, to be threshed out; then the work will be outlined for the next two weeks, and so on. All teachers attending the meetings, doing the prescribed work and passing the examinations, get their certifi cates renewed for one year. Experiy ence has proven , however, that only a small percentage of those attending come for certificate renewal. Some thing like 75 per cent in the other Centers come for professional and personal development. The Study Center thus brings the primary advantages of a normal school to the teachers of both the' county and city. It is an opportunity for every teacher in the county, It is urgent that every one be at the open ing meeting to get the introductory lessons along with the outlines for the work following.

Oklahoma Senalf Votea 36 to 1 To Ou?t J. C. Walton. Oklahoma City, Oct. 23.-- --Governor J. C. Walton was suspended from of fice at 6:40 when the State Senate by a -vote of 36 to 1, adopted a revolu tion temporarily relieving him of his official duties, following the '(submis sion by the lower house of a bill of impeachment against him. The Senate voted to receive the charge and Senator W. M. Gullager, of Muskogeei introduced the resolu tions which would suspend the Gover nor and make Lieutenant Governor M. E. Trapp, acting Executive until the former's trial. The impeachment bill charged the Executive with entering into a "cor rupt agreement" with Dr. A. K. Da venport, State health commissioner, to place T. P. Edwards, the Governor's personal chauffeur, on the pay roll of tl\v health department at $200 a month; and that thereby "certain moneys were diverted from the stat utory object and purpose for which they were appropriated by the law." The suspension resolution was in troduced by Senator W. M. Gullager, of Muskogee. A committee was pamed to inform the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of the action. Lieutenant Governor Trapp is in Sapulpa, Okla., and was notified by telephone. The committee delivered its mes sage to the Governor in his office. Immediately afterward the House transmitted Article 8, charging the Governor with preventing the meet ing of a grand jury that was to in quire into his official acts, and the Senate accepted it . The Senate notified the House that it wOuld convene at any time to re ceive additional impeachment articles that might be adopted later by the lower body and then adjourned. The House ended its session almost at the same time. 4 Case Was Thrown Out. The case against Rural Policeman H. B.

H. L. Galloway, of Clio, was killed this afternoon by n Seaboard train as he was driving out of town towards Marion. Chesley Stanton, of Clio, was with him and suffered a broken hip, legs and arm3. They were driving an automobile and had the curtains up, and evidently did not see the approaching train. The Seaboard crossed First avenue near the jail, and it was at this point that the accident occurred. The train which struck the parties was the pas senger train due at Dillon about 4:20 o'clock from Charleston. Mr. Galloway is well known throughout Dillon, Marion and Marl boro counties. Up until last year Mr. Golloway was president of the First National Bank of Clio since the or ganization of that institution. Mr. Galloway is survived by his widow and four children and several brothers and sisters. Mr. Stanton is the son of Mrs. Stanton, proprietress of the Clio Hotel. Too Much of It. There is a vast amount of propa ganda being scattered about this country again, and the I mails are bringing some of it into Lancaster occAsionally. This organization and that, with high-sounding titles, is continuously sending out printed mat ter of some sort. Of course the plea is always for funds, but as a general rule there is also a desire to create a public sentiment either in favor of or in opposition to something. In home cases the people scattering it woul<J change our laws and, if successful, create a sentiment against the very kind of government that is dearest to all of us ? self-government. Not long ago an attempt was made through propaganda to get the United States to cancel the debts which foreign na tions are owing us. This was check ed. Hut as soon as one scheme is stamped out another bobs up. some times with the same gang back of it. So it has about reached the point ? where the safest place to hand out your money is to your home mer chants. your home bank or your home churches. ? Lancaster News.
