The teacher’s relation to the school as expressed by eminent Sun day School workers: “The worth df a Sunday school is measured by its teachers." “More than piety and willingness is needed in the Sunday school teacher." “The teacher is the school." “As goes the teaching, so goes the school. No school can rise to a higher level that its teaching.” “The teacher’s life is the life of her teaching.” “If God has no need of our w is dom, he certainly has no need of our ignorance.” "Character-building is the highest work in the world." “Remember, you are the best teacher some child wdll ever have." "An ounce of example is worth a pound of precept." "What you are thunders so loudly in my ears that I cannot hear what CANDIDATES ASPIRING TO STATE OF FICES WILL ADDRESS COLLETON VOTERS AT COURT HOUSE FRIDAT.

We are enjoying life, and who have never had the pleasure of such a trip before, especially. To this w’riter, perhaps, it is more realistic than to others. Many a time one wdll go back in dreams, sleeping and waking, to that never- .t>-be-forgot ten voyage of the Atlant ic Battle Fleet, the glamour of the tropic nights. w r hen the Southern Cross lifted its flaming symbol in velvety purple skies ahead and the enchantment of long days when strange fish frolicked alongside, and, great masses of “raisinweed” with ic* grape like clusters of yellow oerries floated lazily on its way to Sargasso Sea. Some times tfcp ar^e hull of a decaying derelict vouid be sighted, wallowing heavily n the oily swells, a thing for specu- ation, a mvstery and menace to the of this trade. One even listens tor “eight bells," accompanied by he hoarse, long drawn call of the •oaiswain jol. “All Ihe pot watch n deck relieve the wheel, mast- ,ead and lookout." But the rude iwakenmg comes when, at reveille. ,ou attempt to “jump as you would t’rom a hammwk, and find yourself loing a contortionist act, as you jump from your cot and^ollide with •he earth, when it was expected to gently “touch" a lenoleum deck. D. C. H. “The crying need of the Church today is trained, consecrated teach ers. S-T ABILITY. “Ability never amounts to much unlit it acquires two-’more letters — s-t-ability." So writes a modern s*ge. The lack of those two letters sums up much of the trouble in the teaching problem in the average Sunday-school. The school fails in its purpose not for the lack of ability out for the lack of steadiest, deter minate purpose. Getting tired is the trouble with too miny workers in the Sunday Sehoal. A teacher may have small ability but the two letters coupled on to it multiplies the service rendered many fold. “Ye«,"said the Superintendent, “I have an able corps oi teachers, if 1 only could depend on them.” The whole church is handicapped in her conquest of the world for Christ be cause of the fiabbiress of-■effort on the part of many adhefents.

I have been prevailed upon by my countrymen to such an extent that I have finally consented to run for the House of Representatives. Now I am before you, my aim shall be if elected to stand firmlv for the local interests of the majority of the people, to change no law exist ing which the people are satisfied with, to make no new laws by which the majority of the people would be oppressed, to let my mind be brand enough to survey as beat I can the best interest of the state at large, and act my part in such matters as may be for the bert for the whole people, for the present and the fu ture. and fellow dtiaene I eric of you a very careful inveetlgatSon of my self so that you may be able to cast an intelligent ballot, let it be for or against me.

DeGraw, commended us on our advancement and said that we were ahead of many other States, and that we were doing a good work. The writer wishes that every carrier in the State could have beard him, and especially # does he wish that those in this county could have been there. Will not attempt to give the program, but will say that the ban quet was the crowning feature of the meeting, as well as the social feature of it. There were sbroe very fine responses to some of the toasts, and Newberry excelled herself in entertaining us. Many distinguished speakers addressed us. It would talus volumns to contain all that waa saiMbnd done. One of our speakers was named Winalow, but should have been named "Windfast.” He is a good roads man, and if any of you. dear readers, have the chance to hear him. you must listen to him and see if he is not on to the job. I hope everyone interested in the good roads will take advantage of his visit to our county and hear him. ^ W. D. Brown of Washington, D. C., editor of the R. F.{>. News, spoke to us, also Hon. D. E. Finley, mem ber of Congress from the Fifth Dis trict, gave us some good encourage ment. And all together, we all to gether, had an all together good time. Paul K. Crosby, State Secretary.
