Spears, superintendent of the Gaffney graded school, who has been teaching at Antioch, has given up that school and returned to the city. He is now busy getting in shape to open the Gaffney graded schools Furnishing Power Again. beginning and remains until the close. The power people at Gaston Shoals , are again furnishing power and Gaff- FARA^IR^^BMBfc ney is thankful that such is the case. Stanyarne Wilson Henry K. Osborne START AT THE BEGINNING. The receipt for happiness, if there be a receipt, is correct living. We do not assert that all the educated peo ple live correctly, or that they are happy. We do believe, however, tha they enjoy life to a greater degree than do their uneducated brethren. If they do not the fault hes with theuf The opportunities of the educated man or woman are vastly superior to those of the uneducated. There ai£ many uneducated men and worm * who have accomplished "much in world and who have lived useful and happy lives, but it also stands to r son that if those people had enjoyed the advantages of an education that their success would have been great er and their lives happier. Education develops all the qualities of human nature. A good nature, when educat ed. becomes a better nature; a bad nature when educated becomes worse The best man In the world is an educated man; the worst man in tha world 's an educated man. From such’ reasoning some might conclude there is no advantage in an educat ion, but the fact remains that thsra are more good natures in the, world than evil ones, hence the more people educated the greater the good. Education is not only good for man, but is likewise beneficial to vegetable and animal life Corn has been educated until it is the useful oereal of today. The potatoe was at one time unfit for use, bat it has been educated until there is hardly a table in all this broad land that it does not adorn too or three times dally. The educated horse is worth more than the uneducated. We have heard of an educated horse which sold for $100,000. It is common for a race .horse to sell for $10,000, $20,000, $30,. 000 and even $50,000 and more. The educated dog, whether he be a per former under a tent or whether he be educated to retrieve birds or to chas - rabbits, is worth more than the cur. An educated farmer makes moie out of his land thsn does the un educated. We do not mean mere book education in this instance. We know of some farmers whose book education Nr limited, and yet the knowledge (education) of the land, seeds, seasons, etc., Is so superior to that of some lettered men that the latter would fall signally where the fanner would succeed. And yet at the same time If that unlettered farm er were educated in books his letter ed self would make him ashamed ot the achievements of his unlettered self. These thoughts introduce them selves at this particular time be cause we are approaching the season when the school are about to re sume the task of imparting educat ion to the boys aud girls, the future men and women of our land. We are trying to impress upon our read Miss Nati Bess Thompson, of At lanta, who has been spending a week or so with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. W. T. Thompson, on Victoria avenue, returned to the Cracker Capitol Satur day. Miss Marie Alverson, of Spartan burg, who has been visiting Miss Mil dred Lipscomb, returned to her home n the Spartan City Sunday.

OO How thankless is man’s attitude to me For the support I have bestowed upon him! Yet should I fail his pantaloons to trim What ledicrous and sorry sight you d see! When fortune smiles, I, with apparent glee Cling to brass discs on trousers wide of limb And of a style that makes the sun look dim, So gorgeous is the plaid of which they be! But should misfortune overtake my man, I’m loyal still and hold to trousers thin By any sort of fastening that I can, Tho’ be it rusty nail or safety pin; Then should these fail, on me he’ll still depend, For round his girth he’ll tie me end to end.
