In company with Rev VV A Beckham the writer took the 12:15 southbound train of the North and South Carolina, railroad from Mullins Thursday last for the Indiantown community, in Williamsburg county. Near 4 o'clock p. m. we reached Nesmith, a station on the Georgetown & Western, where we were met by Col David McCutchen. Soon,in his carriage, we were speed ily driven to the home of the Colonel. After meeting the most excellent ^ family, Mr McCutchen took Mr ^0 'eckham out a mile or more to the Cottry creek lake for a fish,a shot 'squirrel and a duck. He shot SB iuirrel and hit its little toe. -k floated about on the water, uty and symmetry of the lg of it so charmed Mr .1 he forgot to shoot.

The auditorium is splendid, with a.;? acousucs At 10 a. m. Rev Dr Wardlaw on the call of the chairman, Mr McCutchen, opened the exercises with prayer. Mr McCutchen in a verypleasant manner introduced the l writer who for possibly 45 minutes i talked on "Co-operation and Co- , ordination" in all the matters of education. Rev Mr Beckham followed in a splendid presentation of the gen- 1 eral needs of education and the i duties of parents in this all-import- , ant work. Supt Lew's, of the school, followed in a brief outline of the work expected and to be done. ' County Superintendent of Educa- 1 tmn Srvo'ornpr made a short talk i with an explanation of the workings of a demonstration farm of three acres of land which, in connection with that school, is to be an experimental work under the direction of the National Department ofAgriculture, aided by Clemson College. Indiantown will have the best rural school in South Carolina. The plan, success and management of the school are the results of the sufervision of the board of trustees, especially its chairman, Mr David McCutchen. They are live, working trustees, not a dead happy-go-lucky body of men who give practically {no attention to schools of the disj trict or education in general. Mrs I Col David McCutchen, a daughter , of Dr Cunpinghata of Williamsburg j county, and a niece of Rev J C Chandler, of the->S C Conference, is a princess as wife, mother and I entertainer. 1 Mr Lester Lewis, of Horry county, , is superintendent of this school, who , is aided by Misses Brown of Mars' Bluff,Blalock of Edgefield,Salters of Williamsburg and Plowden of Clarendon. If first-class results do not follow the work of this school team we shall feel constrained to write, "long and full?disappointed."? Mullins Messenger. ? - ? f - . t m?

Having been county Road Enginer for nearly three years, studying iard its duties, I have come to the onclusion that the citizens should ave reports rendered to them of not 1 nly the way in which their money 1 as been applied, like the advertise- ( lent from this office has shown ac- 1 nwlincr Iqoj (nnnrtprlv rpnorts). 1 W?A UlUg W IMIT \?|?*?>?

We know that it takes anyhere from $1,000 to $5,000 per tile to build our roads properly ven when the material can be had t or near its side, and considerably tore when not, which would figure 140,000 needed for this purpose lone; and yet we have men who Km very interested in their roads nat look me in the eye and say: "I ay my tax.now give me my road." >h, my! if these people would con- ! ider how small this road tax is as ompared with the required amount f work they demand, then there rould be some hope of our Legisla- ( ure making proyision whereby they ^ ould pay something in order to get . smething. But, alas! on account of bis lack of thoughtfulnesson the part f citizens who, when they vote next , ime, would leave our "Honorable" riendsfat home, and they know it; ecause if they raise taxes up yon- ' er, they raise trouble down here. I laim they should not make such a nistake, in justice to themselves,for would not ao so were 1 in ineir i ilaces.

Houston, Texas, October 2:?The 4 Houston conference of the Methodist Episcopal church,South,to-day unanmously voted to endorse the action )f the College of Bishops and of the minority of the board of trustees of Vanderbilt University in declining to accept an offer of $1,000,000 from Andrew Carnegie for Vanderbilt University's Medical school. The resolutions express "regret that the terms of said gift as set forth in Carnegie's letter were such that it could not be accepted with honor."
