stone marked the sojourn of un earlier

"The islands here," suid Miss Hoyd,
with their dome-shaped glucler-covered
mountains were In remarkable
contrast to Spitsbergen's Jagged
peaks. Hut even here the brief Arctic
summer brings forth vegetation.
In sheltered spots there -was plenty
of white and yellow flowers and the
Islands were positively alive with
gulls. There was no sign of any other
life. Nothing remained of the
huts erected thirty years ago by the
Jackson-Harmswon|, expedition.
"Our intention to -reach eastern

others will he handed over to the Nor^

Aliss Boyd said her only disappointment
during tfie trip was the entire
nbsence of the walrus, which the
party had hoped to hunt.
The women of the party wore high
boots, breeches, sweaters add heavy
coats and fur caps with enr flaps as
a protection against frostbite. The
temperature, however, did not fall beloy
11 degrees of frost, Fahrenheit.
For days the ship was encased In a
two-Inch coating of Ice. The worst purl
of the trip came after a fruitless attempt
to land on Hope island, a lonely
rock southeast of Spltzbergen.
Miss Boyd took 21,000 feet of film,

School Teachers
Ciee MdJee, in The Anderson I)bi!y
Mull, says:
There are two kinds of school
teachers, via: Those that arc already
man u.'d and those that want to get
married. Those that are married arc
sorry they are married and those that
are single are sorry they are single.
When a lady touches as long us five
ea.r* and does not succeed 111 lassoing
a satisfactory pair of britches she
takes up teaching in earnest, and
makes it her life work.
The idea among trustee* ami
patrons is that the further off you
go from home for teachers the better
they arc. Most teachers are born,
not raised. It requires an educatloa
in most schools, but if u person is not
thoroughly prepared ull he or she has
to do is to keep her mouth shut.
lie fore ulhletics came into the life
of our young hopefuls our schools
were looked upon as places of learning.
Hut not so now. The school
that has the best footbull team, or
the best basketball team, or the fastest
runner, or the greatest discuss
thrower, is the school that stands
head and shoulders above all other
schools. Hook learning is secondary
to athletics, and that's why most
stenographers spell "been" bin, and
"sure" xhure, and "deposit" deposeet,
and "cat" cat.
Speaking of school teachers, my
\Jncle Joe totdme he-taw a man from
Savannah lust week who told him his
son, who lives .in Alabama, had met
a gentleman fiom Oklahoma whose
daughter roomed with a school teacher
in Wisconsin who had not bobbed
her iiair, and who did not wear her
dresses quite up to her knees.
School teachers, as a rule, make
good wives and husbands. That's because
I hey don't know how to control
children. When a school teacher
makes a matrimonial dive at an affable
.young man who would consent, he
i
had as well see Ins jeweler right away
ami begin to arrange terms and installments.
They get what they go
after, and believe me they go. In
fact, that's why they ure teaching.
Hut the dissemination of knowledge
to and among the adolescent is the
task of our teachers, and if they can,
by their effervescent personality and
their equitable forbearance, succeed
in overcoming the barriers of sport
and indifference, "ftnd the lack of
brains and the desire to be a Jesse
James or an Emma (Joldman, which
spirit is forever existent among most
children, they have done a duty that
discovering a new planet, or flying
over the north polo, cannot outshine.
I'. S.?I would toll tht' truth, tho
whole truth ami nothing but the
truth about leather* had I not married
one. And she ran read, too.
FINAL DISCHARGE
Notice is hereby given that one
month from this date, on Thursday,
March 17. 11J27, I will make to the
Probate Court of Kershaw County
my final return as Gunrdian of the
estate of John M. Brewer, tho said
John M. Brewer now being twentyone
years of age, and on the samo
date I will apply to the said Court
for a final discharge as said GuardUN.
