The News lunches the fact that only (200.00 has boon paid to the Bryan Na tional Committee, Probably Tillman ns a canvasser gets $2,000. We must agree with the News that the thing has a rather had odor. The office hold ers in tho counties counties, get, say, four hundred thousand doll.vrs, then the State House oHlcers. Judges, Supreme Court Judges, S'.i't'eitors, etc . another hundred thousand. Senator Tillman only asU<..' for $4*000. The Democratic office-holders of the State should have raised it for Col.

The situation is this: If Bryan carries In diana, Illinois and Michigan, mighty ln'ddlo States, he wins out.

So with the wise squire when Bill Stallions and Bob Durham, two Georgia bullies, were brought to gether by Ransey Snillie, on a Georgy C. H.

Culbertson was appointed to act pro torn. Tho first subject for discussion was tho Purpose aud Importance of Organ ization. In the absence of tho ap pointee, sevora' members made short ta'ks, ottering some valuable sugges tions, in regard to tho im|K)rtanco of prompt and regular attendance by all teachers, and the kind of programs which aro most interesting asd ?oneli cial. A unanimous sontimont seemed to pneraff that teaohors must maintain their mutual instruction and benefit, if they would keep pace with tho educa tional demands of the county. Then came the consideration of the (piostion, Is Bread-winning tho Chief Aim in Education? Miss Bessie Hud Kens read a very po'nted and interest ing paper, taking tho |>osition that, while bread-winning should receive some consideration, tt is only secondary or incidentmI. That education reaches beyond this selfish end and alms at the preparation of the child for a higher life of genuine joy and usefulness. This posit ion was endorsed by all members who followed in the discussion. The Association then elected th- fol lowing officers for the ensuing year by acclamation: President, Prof. J. A. Madden; Vico President, Prof. J. B. Watkins; Secretary and Treasurer, Miss Bessie Hudgons. The President appointed Prof. VV. P. Culbertson and Miss Mamie " lardy, who, with the Vice President, as ex-officlo chairman, constitute the Kxoeutive Committee.
