LAUKENS? s. c., NOV. 7, 1000. The Columbia Fair. Our fast developing sister city de served to bo complimented and eon gratulatetl upon their grand "Carnival" of last week So also the guests and visitors from the coiltt'0 t<> the circum ference of t he I i t tie St ate. Hut in the midst of splendid triumph and brilliant success! it i.-. wise t<> pause and reflect and take note of calmness and modera tion. They had In I tome In ye ancient days:.' 'in in A lex, de si Min im's, to restrain the expenses that attended public festivals and entertainments and limit the number of guests which gen erally attended them,no* only In Home, but in all the provinces of Italy, l'.y it, not on'y those who received guests in these fostlvo meotlngs, I it the guests themselves woi'0 liable to bo lined. Sometimes a cautionary word is well And tho danger is enhanced. Says the Spartanburg Herald of Nov. 2nd: "Mr. .1. .1. Burnett) muster-elect, ro turned from Co'unibia yesterday. Mr. Burnett says that Columbia is full of visitors, but be interest in the occasion and the visitors does not to any extent compare with the Spartan burg street carnival.There are scarcely any decorations on the stores and busi ness houses. There was scarcely any arrangement for amusement of strang ors, according to Mr, Burnett's impres sions. This is far different to the treat ment visitors to the Spartanburg street carnival received. The stock show people who went from hero to Columbia were loud and enthu siastic in sounding Spartanburg's praises in Columbia. They were de lighted with thi- tremendous business they did in this city and the courteous treatment they received at the bauds of the Spartanburg people." ? * The Hi:: Columbia Fair. Laurons took a commendable interest in the great Mate Fair, Among tin many Laurens people in attendance we note the following: I>r. H. F. Posoy, Col. J. H. Traynbani, Mr. W. P. Har ris, Hon. O. P. Goodwin, Mr. W. P. Brown, Hon. II. W. Nichols, Mr. Dan iel Varborough, Mr. and Mrs. W 1'. Hmlgens. Messrs. H. 0. t'risp, T. Lane Monroe, VV It. Hiehey. Jr . S. HTodd.

A Laurens man reports that tho car on which he code returning homo on Thursday night was cleverly jolly and convivial He attributed the conditions to blind tigers i" Columbia and not to the chemically pure. Hut still he says thotrond is not overwhelmingly towards the whtto ribbon platform, as far as ho observed while on this holiday outing. There was a grand ball on Thursday night, where youth and beauty met to chase the glowing hours with Hying feet. The attandance was large, ac cording to the printed lists, about one hundred of the belles from all parts of t he StatO,o'egant ly at tired and one hun dred and fifty brave bio's in white kids, French calf skin, while chokers and ra zor tail coats. But the ads were Hot all of our day. We observed the names of many who reminded us of Webster's Speech at Hunker Hill in 1S24 when the old continentals were arranged before him. "Venerable men, you have come down to us from a former generation. Heaven has bounteously lengthened out your days to behold this joyous hour." ft should be remembered that tin; great. Greeks, old and young, attended the Olympic games every four years and contested for the laurel and the bay. Laurens, we observe, was not repre sented in this gay and happy throng. Charleston was gloriously represented by bor best men?having her best foot foremost. Her militia, horse, foot and dragoons carried oil the honors and her heroes wen- crowned accordingly. A lino impression was made and from the mountains to the sea all hands are pledged to make the Exposition of 1001 02 a triumphant winner. There is to be no upper, no lower country any more in tho hereafter in this State. Hlue Ribbons for Laurens: W. F.. Chapman, of ?abbtown, first on 3yoars and 2 years old Hen-herons: J. H. Wharton, first ou 1 year old Pereheron. Tho horse department is said to have boon very excellent. In the cattle department Col. .1. II. Wharton on bis beautiful Jerseys hail 2 first and 2 second. .1.1). W. Watts, I first and 2 second. Col. Wharton had a lino young bull severely gored by a bigger animal thai broke his halter and went around hunting up a light. Mr. McCuon, of Princeton, had a line show of horses, capturing the blue. Col. J. Wash Watts, T. D. W. Watts, 13. A. Wharton, of Mountvtlle, won trophies on sheep, goats, pigs and high bred poultry of many favorite strains. ? "The Strenuous Life." The popular phrase was well in vented to lit conditions at the closo of the century. Consider if you please, Santiago, Manila,South Africa and the wild riot in China. Bryan and Teddy, Colonels in the Spanish-American inci dent, campaigning in New York, aro fairly exemplars of the happy phrase . Fortunately there is usually somebody to hit the nail on the head with a *^t>hraso for tho occasion. * * Thecensusof n)00gives South Carolina 1,340,312, as against 1,151,140 in 1800, a gain of 180,103. This is a gain of about 15 per cent, while other States havo gained 25 per cent. 170,000 entitles at present to a member of Congress, but If the iloiue of Representatives Is to remain numerically tho same, this State will do well to hold her present status. Texas makes a clean gain of 813,305. Sho will probably gain two inembors and possibly three as Ihe House remaining the samo numerically about 200,000 will give a member. ? * Subscribers are Invited to send to The ADVEItTISK.lt guesses as to the population of the county.

List winter when "Dashing Derby" made the charge, that "nine-tenths of the (caohors of Laurens County didn't care a cent whether tlteir pupils learned any thing at all or not," we were very indig nant, and justly so ; i'nr the charge was extravagant beyond all reason. The very extravagance of the charge killed the force of other assertions that he made which were probably true. Among oth er things he said, was, that many parents had complained that their children were not learning. The fault was, chiefly, must li'tcly with the children and the parents. As I am writing this article lor the beuelit of the trustees and teachers, I will endeavor to show wherein there was, at least, some ground for complaint against them ; aud just here 1 would state, that "Trustee," iu his article, con demned himself in condemning the teach ers. Trustees are appointed to secure competent teachers, and to sec that they do their duty ; so a teacher cannot utter ly fail, without bringing home condensa tion od the trustees, 'flic trustees should ho careful to select for teachers those who take a deep interest in educational al f?irs. Those teachers who take no inter est in school work, except during school hours, give just grouud for suspecting that they are teaching only for the money, ami no oue should be more cognizant of this fact than the trustees themselves. There is a Teachers' Association in Laurens County, and very few of the teachers attend. There is no admission nor incidental fee, and all trustees and teachers are urged to become members. The. trustees can greatly assist in the work of the Association, by calling the attention of tboir teachers to the time of meeting, and aiding them in making ar rangements to attend. -Many lady teach ers board away from home and cannot attend, unless some way is provided lor them to come. Generally, sonic of the patrons or trustees can make this provision with little or no inconvenience to them selves. 1 believe that there is not a community in the county but that would bo proud to know that their teacher is a regular attendant u the teachers' meet ings and lakes a prominent part in the proceedings. People like a live, progres sive tcaclur. Another way in winch teachers can greatly assist in these meet ings is by having it understood that, in employing teachers, they will sock to se cure the services of those who arc wide awake and have a mind to work. If ev en one trustee from every school district would be present at. each meeting, what a help it would be to them aud their schools in getting the right kind of teachers, and what an awakening there would soon be among the teachers! Trustees, I make an earnest appeal to you to be present at our next meeting, and if possible, induce your teachers to come. The next meeting will be the 10th of November. Now, my fellow-teachers, I turn to you. Do you realize what a responsibility you assumed in becoming a teacher ? Do you comprehend the dignity of your pro fession'.'' This is the most progressive age the world has yet seen. Doctors, lawyers, preachers, arc studying as never before. Farmers, mechanics and men of every class arc beginning to study. New inventions, new ideas, new thoughts, arc constantly brought forth. Some of the new ideas are positively injurious, while some are the noblest conceptions of man. Are. the common schools to keep abreast of iho times ? If the teacher is alive and up to date, the best thought of men will bo inculcated. We have taken upon our selves to train boys and girls for right living. How many boys and girls arc made better by your training and influ ence ? How many arc made worse ? How many might have been made nobler still, if you had properly prepared yourself in every way for the work entrusted to your charge ? Let us, then, awake to a souse of our duty. Let us roalizo the almost ovcr powciing responsibility that rests upon us. . Let it not be said of the teachers of LauretiS County, that they arc satisfied with any tiling but the very hist results. Lot us show to the trustees and patrons of our .-chools that WO are willing to make sacrifices to better prepare ourselves lor the work we are doing. I make this tamest appeal in behalf of the children whose whole lives will be influenced by our teaching. May wo not expect at least one hundred trustees and teachers at our next meeting. tkaoiikr.
