Highest of all in Leavening Powe oyaI ABS.WT THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVF_ How it Ran in the Case of Mr. Truesdel and Miss Phirer. GREENWOOD, Jan. ;5.-A part of a lively rouiance was acted here yester (lay. Tie midday train on the G., C. & N. railroad brought in a party of ladies and gentle:nen who proved very interestingii not only tt themselves, but to those in our town who possessed any degree of curiosity. One was an elderly wid,.. lady, Mrs. Phifer, and another he: handsome daughter, Iiss Bessie, fr-)aj Whitrnires. The gentlemen were Mr. E V. Truesdel and a friend from Kersbaw. and Dr. Duckett from Ander son. It seems that Mr. Truesdel and Miss Phifer had agreed to undertake a conjugal life, but the mother would not consent; so plans were laid for an elope ment during the trip to Greenville where the young lady was going to school, with a cousin. The mother %uspecting something wrong upou the young lady's refusal to pack her "duds', with liercoubin's con cluded to chaperone them as far as Cl nton, but upon the train she en countered the young Romeo, and the direction was changed. Upon their arrival here a consultation was held at the depot, and it was concluded to wait for the Greenville train, which was done in the hotel parlor. Meantine handsome Mr. Truesdel sought the assistance of one of Green wood's gallant young ien in the cap ture of the pretty young lady, while Dr. Duckett was aiding the mother. Plans were hurriedly laid for the es cape, and visit to a divine, but the guard was too earnest and vigilant; so the best that could be done was an ar rangement to stop the train at the junction, where a close carriage and an anxious crowd were waiting, but the scheme was given away by some one and "all hands" disappointed. THE COUPLE FINALLY SUCCEEDED. GREENVILLE, Jan. 6.-There was a ro mantic marriage in this city this after noon. On Monday, Miss Bessie Phifer, of Whitmire's Station, on the Geor gia. Carolina and Northern Railroad, boarded the Columbia and Greenville train to return here to re-enter the Greenville Female College, where she has been for sometime. E. V. Truesdel, a young telegraph operator of Kershaw County, boarded the same train at the junction this side of Greenwood. The train stopped, and the young lady started to get oft to join Mr. Truesdel, who bad a vehicle waiting. The young lady's mother had sus pected that an elopement would be attempted, and had accompanied her daughter to prevent the elopement. The three persons came on here. Mrs. Phifer and her daughter stopped at the house of a relative, and Mrs. Phifer supposed that he had left the city, but he was watching, and this afternoon, learning that the young lady's mother had gone for a walk, he procured a carriage, and, boldly going to the house, had his lady love to join him, and they were swiftly driven to the house of a minister and were married. The young lady's absence was lear ned too late, and when the mother started out to search for her, she met the happy husband returning from the minister's house.-Special to State. Shingles!

McIntosh, the physician for the R. & D. railroad,was telegraphed to comne up the road to at tnd a man who had been injured by falling from a moving freight train. Dr. James H. McIntosh attended the case. One of the hands on the construc tion train desired to go up the road to get something from his house and when tbe freight train came along he got aboard, but wben it reached the point at which be desired to stop, it was moving at about-15 miles an hour and did not slow up. So the man in ques tion concluded he would jump off and he jumped, but instead of catching upon his feet he planted his head in the mud and his body stood there like a post, as it were. He was not killed, but when thbe doctor reached him the blood was running from his nose and ears. It took place somewhere between Silver Street and Chappells.

KEirr, Editor. Teacherr' Assuciation. The County Teachers' Association met at the new Graded Sehool buildin<z on last Saturday. Althou--h the weather was unfavor able, a good number of teachers were present, both to hear and to take part in the <iscussions. Prof. 1'. M. Huuter read a thought fully prepared paper oa "conp-sition work." He gave soie valuable ideas as to how this subject should be treated in our schools. Several teachers took part in the discussion that followed, and for a time it was quite animated. It is very plain that this subject does not receive tie attention it sliuld, and it is well for its importauce t- be forci bly presented in our Association. Miss Ella Sheldon and Mr. M. W. Purifoy were to have read papers, but were both absent. They doubltess had sufficient excuse, as they are inter ested in the work of the Association, and would have been present had noth ing prevented. It was suggested by Mrs. Long that the programme be carried out, which suggestion met with the approval of the Association. "How can we best teach good man ners in the school room?" was discussed at some length. A few teachers were of the opinion that the teacher should only tell the pupil bow he should con duct himself at school, and to go be yond that would be interfering with what properly belonged to the parent. The majority were of the opinion, how ever, that it is the teacher's duty to teach good manners not only as they refer to the school, but to other places as well. The Executive Committee did not report a programme for the next meet ing, as they thought it best not to pub lish it more than two weeks before the Association meets. It was gratifying to see several teach ers present who have never attended the Association. We hope that they may come. again. We can assure them they will be benefitted by attending. Prof. Evans kindly offered the Graded School building for future meet ings. The next meeting will be held at Newberry on the 2nd Satirday in Feb ruary. K. One great mistake too often made in Dur schools is that teachers advance their pupils too rapidly. Pupils of course wish to advance rapidly in the chools, that is, they wish to lay down ne book and take up a higher one as fast as possible. It may be gratifying to see children wish to go in a hurry, but at the same time what we often suppose to be progress is not progress. rboroughness, especially in the lower ;rades, is absolutely necessary to suc 3essful teaching. That teacher who insists upon thorough preparatiod is the >ne who is making the real progress n her school. We sometimes find ,bildren reading in the fourth reader who are scarcely prepared for the third. rhey are often given a grammar before bey can read the sentences intelligent y. This is a mistake and should be -orrected. In our ungraded schools let is attempt to do thorough preparatory work. THE COUNTI ALLIANCE. Regular Quarterly Meeting and the Dele gates.
