tW Write* in Inter* mU of AModntion. Dew Tench er* One of the duties dev olving upon me as an officer of our State Association is to assist in making the Association big ger and better and more representa tive. For the teachers of South Caro lina there is no organization that means more to them, and more to our State, thah the association of teachers, and annual meeting. If it were possible, I would like to talk with each one of you, and tell you of the advantages of meet ing together, of the inspiration it will give you to retym to your school rooms and to your communities with renewed hope and renewed ideas, of a greater love for and a greater apprecia tion of your advantages to leave “foot prints” behind you, not in “the sand of time,” but in human lives, in better schools, in better homes, in a better community; but it is not possible to meet you face to face. Last year, and the year before, Were the best meetings in the history of the State Teachers’ Association, but don’t let “well enough” alone—we can’t stand still, we must go on, or go back ward, and the slogan for this year is Onward adopted the war cry for the Meeting in Columbia on 'March 13, 14 and 15th.” Will you be one of thrf 1500? We need you, and some of your Trustees at this meeting. There are approximately 4500 teach ers in South Carolina, surely 2000 of them will become members even though they don’t all have the oppor tunity of attending the State conven tion. The membership fee is only fifty cents per year for ladies and one dollar for men. You may get your County Superintendent to send the dues for you, or you may send directly to Mr. C. V. Nueffer, Bennettsville. Don’t forget to state what county you are teaching in. A banner is offered to the county that enrolls the biggest per cent of teachers even though all of them do not attend the conveution. A good program has been arranged, which will be interesting and tx-neti- cial to all of us. We will expect to s«.e you. Yours truly, Cecil H. Seigler, Vice Pres, for 2nd. Cong. Di-t. Aiken, S.

Am., March 3 —Four dead Mexican soldiers and an unknown number of wounded were taken to Agua Pneta today from the point on the international border, five miles from here, where two troops of the Ninth United States cavalry fought a 30 minute battle with Mexican regu lars yesterday. More than two thou sand shots were fired by the Ameri can troops and it is estimated that fully as many were fired by the Mexicans. None of the Americans were hit. Neitherside crossed the line. Gen Ojeda, Mexican commander at Agua Prieta. today claimed that the American troops fired first. This is denied by United States army officers. Lieut. Nicholson in command of the men w ho first engaged the Mexicans, and Capt Armstrong, who commanded troops E and F when they came to the relief of the patrol, said today that a volley came from the Mexican side be fore the Americans fired. Bryan One of the Create*! Ones. When William Jennings Bryan as sumes the duties of secretary of state, the premiership of the Wilson cabi net, that great office will again be occupied by an American citizen whose name is known and w;hose ability is recognized throughout the countries of the world. Though Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Randolph, John Marshall, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, James G. Blaine and William H. Seward are some of the great Americans w’ho have held this high office and rendered dis tinguished service^ to the nation in the discharge of its^ duties, history will re cord Bryan as one of the great secre taries of state.—Spartanburg Herald. — **-. / Gene Stratton-Porter, the author, Doubleday, Page Sc Co., and Grosset and Dunlap,the publishers of ‘Freckles’ Lave all complimented Mr. Delamater on his production and upon Neil Two- mey’a dramatization of the story.

Burts, President of the State Teachers’ Association of South Caro lina, announces that the plans and pro grams for the meeting to be held in Co lumbia March 13 and 14 are completed. Teachers from the entire state will be present and indications are that there will be a record breaking attendance. On the opening evening the princi pal addresses will be made by former Superintendent of Education O. B. Mar tin, and Dr. J. LaBruce Ward, of the State Boprd of Health. On Friday at teh second session Supt. J. E. Swear ingen is to address the association and following his address there will be a general discussion of some of the live educational problems of the state, giv ing opportunity for some of the educa tors of experience to discuss these. For Friday evening there is a rare treat for those who attend when Prof. W. K. Tate is to give an illustrated lecture on the Schools of Switzerland. Following this will be an address by Mr. L. P. Hollis, of Greenville, whose work in the industrial Y. M. C. A. work has become known throughout the nation. He is to address the association on the subject of the School-house as a social center. Saturday morning will be given over to an executive session, not simply the routine of electing officers but the laying of plans for making the association more effective in its work. — The producer of “Freckles”, A. G. Delamater, has spared neither pains or expense in staging this play in the most elaborate style. In the first place there is an environment in “Freckles” which very few plays possess; chances for scenic investitue amazingly natural and picturesque; and when it is under stood that Delamater has brought it up to the highest standard of stage pro duction, both from a scenic point of view and by means of a most compe tent cast, there is a double assurance of merit. Those who have loved the I nameless waif for his manly spirit, his light wit, Irish lore, and his beautiful songs; and who reverence “The Swamp Angel” for her beauty and her chaste, womanly character, will meet no disap pointment in the play. And that’s why “Freckles,” is proving still a greater success as a play even than the novel which has been read by over a million souls. At the Barnwell Opera House, Monday, March 17.—adv.
