Risher, Should an unconverted person be given a class In the Sunday School? Rev. J. R. Copeland and J. J. Pad gett. gest that you make the following corrections. 1st. WTien I said I had survived the August heat, you made me say “surmised” which destroys the sense of the sentence. 2nd. I spoke of an over flow oT th well and you put it over "place” which destroys this sentence also. 3d. I spoke of the slimey coils of the devil, a figurative expression referring to the demon as a serpent I of course, and you make it “slimy” I coils, and then to make this error the more conspicuous you use it in the caption. This error does not destroy the sense or interest of the ; picture, but the word I intended I think is more striking and effective. The glittering colors of the serpents : in Israel Camp are supposed to be I the reason for calling them firey 1 serpents, and hence the word “slimey” would do. But the idea cf i the serpent being slimy makes it the more hideous to our imagina tion. You and Webster might stand all this but I do hot think ! can afford it and prefer to have it corrected, and oblige Yours truly, Round, Sept. £. . J. B. D. [We are sorry.

I agree with THOMAS JEFFERSON. • The third president of the United States was born at Rhadwell, Vt* (a 1743, and died at Montlcello, Va., on the Fourth of July, 1820, John 4 whom he succeeded as president In 1801, dying on the same day. Jaffarsoa was elected as a Republican, that party being the forerunner of tha prassat Democratic party. Ha served two terms. Jeffcr*on was the author of thft Declaration of Independence. He also drafted the Virginia statute for rellglona freedom and founded the University of Virginia. He is regarded as the founder of the Democratic party. r .. - , dating the stria* 1 schools Chat are too close together, and make the best schools that we can, thereby furn ishing ample means of educating Brenau, Gainesville, Ga.

There Were briars and bramble scratches to disfigurement and injury. The swamp scenery is quiet: and beautiful as a dream and the maj estic trees. doubtless centuries old, with interlaced, and moss draped branches shielded us for miles from the scorching rays of the August Sun. We forgot all else so absorbed were we with these beautiful sur roundings. Happy streams moved on, well bridged are the black waters, cool and refreshing There were evidences that the streams teem with fish, poles nailed from tree to tree forming tiny bridges by which the fishermen reach the seats for out, so pictur esquely arranged and almost out of view. Once over the rough and tumble highway of the swamp we reached a sand ridge on which grew a forest of haw and plum, laden with fruit, and we partook of the add plum and the delicious haw to satisfy. As we regaled we noted the gopher mounds,numerous and pe culiar and the first we had- ever seen. Like the rabbit they burrow and tunnel for quite a distance. We met one belated traveler jsnd at a glince saw that he belonged to the terrapin family and we wished to capture him, but at this rnbment the boat blew the signal of arrival or departure from landing and all possible qpeed was raad^to see it P—s. fiutmd to tell we mimed the boat and gopher too, and life for the time had lost its charm. Finally we came to the broad rapid Sarea- nah with its muddy waters, yallow ‘fromthie day Wflsof the tipper por tion of oar state, and traveled cn its vine dad and brush grown bank till we reached our destination—Sisters Ferry—thus named in honor of two aged maiden ladies whose support in life came from toll paid by'travoL the schools are willing to pay. . 2nd. I agree with Mr. Patron that we ought to employ the best teach ers available to train our boys and girls, because useful men and women will be needed to fid the places of thase that reign in society and hold offices of responsibility. I beg to differ with Mr. Patron: i 1st. That we have good first class teachers who are not graduates do ing good work. I will mention one of our best educators, who has taught successfully for x number of years and has prepared a great number of boys and girls for college Mr. A. C. Hiers of Srooaks, S. C. I could mention others who are not graduates doing a grand and noble work, if necessary. 2nd. 1 am sorry to say that Mr. Patron has an improper idea of a first class teacher. A first-class teacher is not necessarily a gradu ate. He must be a punctual and an earnest worker. He must devote his time and talent to his profession, ta make a* success he must study to keep up his work, though he or she be a graduate. There is something new for us to learn every day if we do our duty. A teacher who never studies nor learns something new is not a succemful teacher, thongbhe be a graduate. 3rd. I differ with last but not least, shout Indy teach* ere. I certainly would nat exclude the ladies from teaching. We have some good first class hufr tkacher* who are doing good work. It would be my last act to criticise fc good lady teacher ^he very best character to set a good axample for anr boys BKl eirk to b.

This, the Queen City of the South s situated at the foot of the Blue Ridge and Yonak mountains, sod has thus gained notoriety of being s health resort as well as educational. A new feature of this summer suasion was the two weeks Chstauqua which was held on the banks of Lake Warn er. It was only a half hour’s run on the trolleys from the college, sod this was entirely under the control of Dr Pierce, president of the college. One advantage of this Chatauqua was noted speakers from at. home and abroad, amoug thoje being Dr Wjn Spurgeon of England, son ot the late noted Dr C II Spurgeon. The most attractive feature the Chatauqua was the male .quartette from Philadelphia, which appeared in white suits at every performance or lecture, and they were always on the alert to sing for the Brenau girls until the midnight bell sounded. , t -FOR- • • DISTRICT CONVENTION, !
