THE TEACHERS’ ASSOCIATION.
This interesting hody of men and
women (mostly women) spent live
days most pr ditahly and very pleas
antly in annual session at Spartan
burg last week. These meetings are
looked forward to from one session to
the next and are growing in interest.
No better place than Spartanburg
could he found for their annual gath

College suits exactly. President
Wilson is all courtesy and meets each

a cheerful word.

pressing their views. A few days

WE ARE THANKFUL.
The South has passed through a
severe ordeal. The late war left her
under changed conditions. Accus
tomed to have others to work for her
she had now to work for herself. Self
help is ev« r the best help and out of
it has arisen the New South.
The tide of immigration that has
continually Mowed Hast and West to
our shores has brought on its crest
the worthless, the thriftless, and the
morally impure, hut thank- to a pro
tecting Providence the tide swept
above our latitude. Then we were
sorry, now we arc glad. In this we
have something to he thankful
for.
The South still needs men who are
men indeed to till her soil, devclope
her mineral wealth and add to her
resources, but better, far better, re
main as we are. depending upon our
selves' developing from within as we
have been doing for this quarter of a
century, than have among us those
who would corrupt our youth, disor
ganize our labor and imperil our civi-
li/at ion.

exercise a wise surveillance over t hose

garians. Italians. Spaniards. Japan
ese or t’hinese. we must expect
socialistic and anarchistic sentiments
to be sown with a liberal hand in the
wake of the immigrants path.
We believe that there are men (not
in the South) in the North and West
who secret ly rejoiced when the an
archist's dagger made P ranee to
weep bitterly. Such a man. where're
he be. would always turn liberty into
license, and has no respect for law.
order, or that good government that
is protecting their unworthy lives.
“The anarchist is almost always a
man of evil life, brutish in his in
stincts and brutal in his conduct.
He tears down what others build,
lb eont ributi - not li ing to tin sum of
wealth or human happiness." They
are enemies of the public peace and
in their overt acts should be shown
no quarter.
Surely to he exempt from such bar
barians is something lobe thankful
for.
THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
The strikes in the North and West
have already reached vast propor

erated condemned anarchists through
so-called executive clemency, is feel
ing tne force of his own rash act.
t'hieago has shown her inability
to cope suecessfuliy with the frenzied
masses that surge unhindered over
stockyards and railways destroving,
overturning or demoralizing every
thing that opposes. A sad spectacle
for a civilized, enlightened, progres

eharactcristic of the man but shows
clearly that he knows what he is do

and happiness are at slake lovers of
order should unite in putting down
disorder. It is no time for carping

Already has there been too great
delay on the part of the general gov

is shown that only sternest measures
will be effective.We hope that tieiieral

“I have ix friend,” .-aid an out of
town coni ojierator, "xvlio i- xvnrtli near
ly ffloO.tMMi, and yet i- tin- nm-t jm-hii-
rions man I ever saw. The other night
we were going on to Chi. ago on hu i
ness. We went into the sleeper togeth
er, and as I xvas quite tired J suggested
going to lied. ‘Where’s your berth?' I
asked. 'Berth?' repeated my friend.
‘Why, I’m not going t<> take a berth. I
shall sit up in the day coach.’ When 1
told him there was nothing hut sleepers
on the train, his face fell, and he seemed
worried. I knew what the trouble xvas.
He xvas thinking of the few dollars lie
would have to spend for a hed, so I said,
‘1 guess you’ll have to hand oxer to
night.’ He appeared much distressed
and suggested that xve double up and
both sleep in one berth, ‘for,’ lie said,
‘it xvill Ik- eheajM-r for both. ’ 1 laughed
tit the idea and informed him that I did
not care to make myself um-oiulortable
for the sake of a fexv dollars. Well, he
resigned himself to his fate, and ! no
ticed when a berth was assigned him
he was xvithont a handbag of any sort.
As he was going to stay in Chicago hut
a day. I said: 'Where's your bag. Sure
ly you didn't bring a trunk for one
day?’ He then sat closer to me, and
crossing his legs began iu a ino.-t ear
nest manner: 'That’s jnst where you fel
lows make a mistake, 't on carry a bag
with you as a sign that you are a good
subject to beat. Now, I carry nothing—
not even so much as a package lov my
nightshirt, for 1 have that on now un
der my other shirt—and you see that I
dress shabbily. Why, if 1 carried a hag,
hotels, hacknicii, porters and everybody
would charge me double what they do
iioxx'. Tve got too much common sense

There is a m-xv rub- in the navy depart
ment that is as picturesque as it i- pa
triotic. Whenever n government vessel
on its way up or doxvu the dirty Poto
mac passes by Mount Vernon the bell on
the vessel tolls, and the sailors and offi
cers form in line and doff their caps and
salute the home of Washington. No
matter what the crexv are doing, all
>vork is stopped while the ceremony is
gone through. Sailors will stop iu their
lahqr !'f sweeping off the deck, drop
thep brooms and rush ot gei intu jiiic.
There ha** always been a kind of desiil-
tory practice of this kind, and the Home of
the Father of His Country lias generally
been honored in an informal way by gov
ernment vessels in passing, but tioxv tins
tribute of respect is compulsory, ami the
vessels vie xvitli each ot her in t he prompt
ness xvitli which this salute is performed,
