Orekmvillb. 8. c., ) July 31, 1898.( Editor Advertiser: Dkab Bib:?Will you allow me space to say a few words concern ing the Teacher's Institute to be held in Laurens beginning on the 14th of August. First, to School Officials: As con scientious officials endeavoring to carry out the laws of the state re garding its schools, It is your duty to use every effort to see that the provision made for the improve ment of teachers In the public schools, should not be rendered in effective. The best day's work a school trustee can do just now is to see that the teachers in his district come to the Institute, and that he comes himself. Second, to Teachers: You cannot afford at the present stage of edu cational advancement to lose any opportunity to gain information about subjects, methods or manage ment. Every additional Idea you can gain of the>o things develops your strength, saves it, and makes it more effective. In proportion as you gain in knowledge and effec tiveness, y our work becomes easier, plensantor, better paying and you yourself will be more in demand. To Ministers: You are interested in education of the right sort; show It by attending the institute, tell us whero wo are wrong and how to get right. To Newspaper Men: Your work und ours is on the same line, to same end; help us by getting a full at tendance and reporting tho pro ceedings. To the People: All are vitally interested in the success of the public schools; you will learn much, be much interested, be bet ter able to do your part In the greet battle against ignorance and wrong, if you will attend the insti tute. Besides your presence will stimulate and encourage the teach ers. This is a public work, done by a public institution, and the public will be welcome at all ses sions. Finally, to tho citizens of Lau rens: You have an opportunity to show that the imagined 111 feeling between town and country is not true on your part. Open your homes to the teachers of the coun try schools who represent every section of your county, entertain them free of cost if you can, at very low rate3 at least, make them fool welcome, show an interest in their work, and in so doing help your town and your county; they must stand or fall together. In closing let me remind all that this Institute is a great opportunity for good; let it not pass unim proved. E. L. HUGHES, Inst. Conductor. Supt. City School, Groonville, S. C. Death of I<\ A. Connor. The Hon. Francis Ambrose Con nor died at his home at Cokesbury, in Abbeville County, on last Satur day, July 22, after a brief illness. The Abbeville Press and Banner publishes the following concerning his life: "Mr. Connor wiis born near Cokesbury, then Mount Ariel, in the year 1S18. He was a son of Dr. Francis Connor, who was a loading physician and one of the most prominent and public-Spirited citi zens of that section. Mr. Connor received his academic training at Tabernacle Academy and Mount Ariel, and completed his education at Bandolph-Macon College, Vir gin, where ho graduated with first honors of his class about tho year 1838. Shortly after his graduation he married Miss Frances Hodges, a daughter of Gen. G. W. Hodges and one of tho most beautiful wo men of her day. Twelve children wore born to them. His third wife, formerly Mrs. Evans, of Charles ton, also survives him, "In the early forties Mr, Connor was elected professor of Latin and Greek .in the Oolcosburry Confer ence School, when that institution was at the very zenith of its pros perity, and held tho position for a number of years, Ho was after* wards elected president of the Ma sonic Female College, and remain ed at the head of that flourishing seminary until it was forced to sus pend by the war. Hundreds of his old pupils will bear willing testi mony to his distinguished ability as an educator. Those who know him well in that capacity say that as a teacher he was never excelled and rarely equalled in this county. "Boforo tho war Mr, Connor was engaged in planting and farming on a large scale. After the war he continued his planting for some years, but latterly has been engag ed in business pursuits, and has been very successful. For some years boforo the Columbia and Greenville Bailroad was sold at foreclosure sale ho was one of its directors, He was elected to tho House of Representatives of the State Legislature in 1876, and was a member of the famous "Wallace House." In this body ho served with conspicuous ability and was prominently spoken of for Speaker whon Judge Wallaco resigned to accept a seat on the Bench, but de clined to become a candidate. For many years he was a /..?ominont Mason and a leading />iembor of Bascom Lodge, No. $fV'Mr. Connor was an original thlnkor, a strong speaker and a olear and forcible wrltor, his spoken and written com positions being models of pure and Idiomatic English.

All the iuterest of the Sunday Schools were carefully looked after and the work found to bo progressing in a most satisfactory manner. One of the most interesting fea tures of the convention was an ad address on Thursday morning by Miss Mary L. Yeargin, and again in the afternoon a recitation by Miss Yeargin entitled The Creeds of the Bells, was listened to with greatest interest. The Convention was atteuded by large crowds, and the greatest harmony prevailed. While Mr. Jonn Hollingsworth and family were attending Con vention, his house was broken into and about $35 stolen therefrom. A negro boy by the name of Sam .Simpson, who >egan to spend mon ey right freely was taken up at Mountvllle and confessed, implica ting two other negroes, Wess Cun ningham and Jim Davenport, but they proved alibi.

THE STATE ALLIANCE TAKES THE BIT IN ITS MOUTH. Greenville News. Walhalla", s. C, July 27.?The Alliance has been engaged all day on routine matters and very littlo lias been done that would interest the public. The elections will take place to-night at 1 o'clock, and the meeting will remain in session until all business is disposed of so that the delegates may leave in the morning. It is pretty well settled that W. D. Evans will be president. An old scandal about Norris has been revived with disastrous effect on the Pendleton statesman's presi dential aspiration. It is under stood that he is Tillman's candi date but somo of his opponents worked the scandal on him and he is out of it. Evans' friends say he will be elected without opposition. Walhalla,?It was decided to limit the voting power in the an nual conventions to tho delegates. Hortoforo tho officers have exer cised tho privilege. Donaldson's friends claim that he has sufficient votes to re-elect him, but he de clines to allow his namo to bo used, saying that ho can not be president of the alliance while it remains in such a hostile attitude toward Pres ident Cleveland. The resolutions seem to take tho alliance right into tho third party at one leap. They were offered by Jos. L, Keitt, an avowed third party man, and adopted without alteration. After tho usual high flown whereas and a pledge of faith to the National Farmers' Allianoe the resolutions sayt 'T/Jus body hereby notifies tho con gressmen from this State oloeted by the alliance influence that this order expects them to oppose ropoal of tho Sherman sil ver art unless tho repealing bill embodies a substitute giving freer and unlimited eoinageof silvor upon tho basis of sixteen to ono and they aro also oxpectod to op pose tho ropoal of tho 10 por cont. tax on State banks." Tho executive committee is in stuctcd to submit to candidates for State ofllces two questions and de mand written answers. Ono of them requires the candidates to dis cuss the alliance demands An the stump. The other is "wgs you pledge loya|tv to tho demand* of the Natlonl Farmer's Alliance and industrial union above loyalty to party caucus and vote against any and all candidates wdQ depl|nu to commit tliemseje:;. to this extent. Thqre was quite a squabble over the question of salaries and they wore cut all around. Tho pres ident's is reducod from #300 to $150 and tho secretary's from $800 to $300.

D. Sullivan, of Tumbling Shoals, 8. 0. She was born February 20th, 1861, and died iu the 33rd year of her age. She had lately nursed her hus band and son through severe spells of fever. And was so much pros trate/! by anxiety and watchful at tontfon to them during their ill ness, that she was ill prepared to resist an attack of fever. She lett four bright childron to the care of an afflicted husband. Her many relatives, friends and pupils in South Carolina will learn with sor row this announcement of her death. Her life was spent in de votion to her God and family. Her daily example and the implanting of right views and duties in her children will bring forth a rich harvest In their future lives. She expressed herself freely before her last sickness, that the end was not far off and that she was ready for the change. We know that we'll never see tby face again in this life, but if we live puro lives here, we have tho sure promise of meeting thee again in a bright world beyond - the skies. May God's richest blessings rest upon the afflicted husband, chil dron and family of our departed daughter. Farewell, Lizzie, tho beginning of my strength and the first object of my love. Fatheb. IjIQUOK drinking. The reports indicate that there has been less drunk ness than before the dispensaries were established and apparently less money spent for liqUor. But suppose thoro were no dls pcusaries and no bars ? Would not tho decreaso in drunkness be yet greator and tho expenditure for li quor even smaller? We see no reason to change our former opinion. If the dispensaries are successful as moral agencies they will be failures financially. If they are successful financially they will bo failures morally. They can not sell largo quantities of li quor and diminish drunkeness. They can not largely decrease the sale ot liquor and be profitable. We think the practical fact will be that when the new law has been in operation a while and the law-less classes "learn tho topes" there will be about as much whlskoy sold and used as ever. There is nothing now but lack of money to prevent any man who wants liquor and belongs to the prohibited classes from In ducing a friend or anybody else who has the required qualifications to buy for him from the dispensary.

Tho hall was encumbered with boxes, the sight of which made him feel his visit to bo inopportune, and ho said quickly: "I havo ju?t como for an hour or two to see you and must return this even ing," Mrs. Bridge, seeing that ho was only afraid of incommoding us, at once an swered: "Must you desert us when I need your aid in unpacking these boxes?" "Will you really let mo help you?" he asked. Her joking answer, assuring him of her pleasure in gaining a helper so strong, both in muscle and intelligence, put him entiroly at ease, and for a week he made himself useful on all possible occasions. ?-Commodoro Bridge's "Recollections." THE PEACE BELLS OF BROOKLINE. Our hearts wore waiting, bleeding, waiting, With trembling, longing, hopo and fear, Our very breaths in silence bating. Ami wbiio wo prayed, "God's hand be staid; Let war bo over, peace appear!" Through all tho air, with cadence flue, Came pealing bells from fair Hrooklino: "Peace is signed at Appoinatt'A'I 'Mattoxl 'Mattoxl Peace is signed at AppomattOXl" From splro to spire tho tidings spring As sunbeams flash o'er peaks of snow, While strong men weep or pray or sing, And oach man's mood to all seems good, For in thai happy, golden glow To God all grateful hearts Incline, While shouts tho bells of fair Prooklino: "Peace is signed at Appornattoxl 'Mattoxl 'Mattoxl Peaco is signed at Appomnttoxt" 'T?'fts ohlldron rang that glorious peal In lightsome glco that war was o'er.

There was a picnio at Traveler's Rest y eater day and CoLCal.Caugh mao, of Lexington, was present by invitation and made a speech. B. F. Perry, of this city, was present but did not speak* About 300 people attended and the day was much enjoyed. Colonel Caughman made one of his rattling speedup. He was a good deal interrupted by one or two Tilltnan men but took care of himself and made matters very hot for his opponents. From the exchange of words a row which at one time looked serious was de veloped between two men in the orowd, but it was quelled after some remarkably hard language had been given and received. The Caughman speech was generally re garded as effective. The meeting indicated that the Tillman senti ment is yet strong in the Traveler's Rest country, but there havo boon some changes and the men who have changed seem io be as bitter against the governor as they for merely were against his foes.?
