Mr. Anderson has been especially success? ful in criminal law, and is the best at the Birmingham bar. A prominent attorney for one oi Birmingham's largest corporations said: "I consider Mr. Anderson to be the best criminal lawyer in the state of Alabama, and if elected will make the best prosecut? ing attorney in the South.'9 Another prominent lawyer said : "Mr. Antler son is far above the average in either prosecuting or defending at the crimi? nal bar." He has a very fine law li? brary and. knows how to nse> it Mr. Anderson married Miss Mary Elmore, of Alabama, of Alabama's famous family of Elmcres. She is a sister of Hon. Ben F.

It is self-explana? tory. It iflrvoxjr desirable that there shall be a large meeting of teachers at Atlanta in December and South Caro? lina should not be behind in the num _ber of her representatives. September 25, 1903. At the Asheville meeting of the Southern Educational Association, the President, Gol. J. W Nicholson, Uni? versity, of Louisiana, appointed the folilowing committee to consider the future of the Association : Superin? tendent W. W. Barnett, Houston, ?flex,. President George B. Cromer, Newberry, S. C. ; Superintendent S. H. Edmunds, Sumter, S. 'C. : Profes? sor W. C. A. Hamme, Baltimore, Ucl. ; Superintendent Junius Jordan, Pine Bluff, Ark. ; Prinepal J. D. Lentz, Concord, N. C. ; Superintend? ent E. H. Mark, Louisville, Ky. ; Professor F. W. Moore, Nashville, Tenn., Professor D. B. Pu rs n ton, Morgantown, W. Va. ; U. S. Com? missioner of Education W. T. Harris, Washington? D. C. ; Superintendent J. V. Calhoun4 Baton Rouge, La. ; Su? perintendent E. C. Glass, Lynchburg, Ta. ; Superintendent J. R. Campbell, Weatherfod, Okla. Hon G E. Glenn, Atlanta, Ga. Superintendent L. M. Lan drum, Atlanta, Ga. ; President Chas C. Thach, Auburn, Ala. Chan? cellor R. B. Fulton, University of Mississippi: Superintendent J. W. Wideman, Gainesville, Fla.. ; Superin? tendent R. J. Tighe, Asheville, N. C. and President F. P. Venable, Uni? versity of North Carolina. A meeting of this committee was held in Atlanta, September 23rd. The President was asked to draw up the following statement and appeal to ali interested in Southern education. The Southern Educational Associa? tion bas an important place to fill. It offers opportunity for the full and free discussion of the probems connected with education in the South. It can give the strength of organization to our efforts in behalf of education. It will bring together and unite the teachers of the South, freeing us from provincialism and the narrowness that would come from too limited a horizon. While attendance upon na? tional and other associations should be encouraged, there is no other as? sociation which can possibly fill the place which should be held by this as? sociation. The coming meeting is a crucial one for the Association. Of late its meet? ings have been poorly attended and a general indifference comes to prevail as to its welfare. This will lead to a speedy dissolution of the orgnization. Southern teachers cannot afford to let it die. It is needed and can be made strong and influential. We, there? fore, appeal to you to use your influ? ence in its behalf. Come to the next meeting yourself and stir up others to come. The committee has fixed upon Atlanta as the place, and December 31, 1903-January 1, 1904, as the time for the next meeting. We are aware that the time of meet? ing is inconvenient for some, but no other seems available for this year. "We ask that, if necessary, some per? sonal sacrifice be made for the welfare of the Association. Surely it is pos? sible for southern teachers to uphold an Association of which they may be justly proud. Signed in behalf of the Committee, F. P. Venable.

Clerk of Court Baskins, Offered to Pay for His Mistake. The Court of General Sessions con? vened last Monday with Judge Watts, Solicitor Wilson and Stenographer La than at their desks. After empaneling the grand jury, the Solicitor lost no time in handing them a batch of indictments and the Judge lost no time in charging them as to their duty, but simply explained the natrue of each indictment. Seven jurors were excused for various reasons and their places had to be filled from the five mile box which caused some delay. While the jury was out, the cases brought over from the last court were called and the first was L. A. Wheeler for contempt" of court. This is the case in which Wheeler as prosecutor failed to put in appearance at both of the previous terms of court held here and he was ruled for contempt of court. The next case was the State vs Spain Kelly for murder. As the prisoner was in the Sumter jail, the case was postponed till after recess. The State vs Ed. Jones and Alice Bogers was put off until the next court on account of the absence of material witnesses, although the Judge stated at the beginning that he would grant no postponements on that ground. After recess, Mr. Kelly was arraigned and one of the counsel for defence, Bon. M. L. Smith, threw a bomb into the court room that caused surprise among the audience and consternation among some of the court officials. He moved to quash the indictment on the second count that of carrying concealed weapons but his motion was overruled by the Judge and the indict? ment was allowed to stand. He then challenged the array of petit jurors on the ground that the writ of venire fa ci es did not have upon it the seal and signature of the Clerk of Court. Everything came to a dead halt and Solicitor Wilson acknowledged the illegality of the jurors and that it would be useless to try any case at this term The Judge then announced that there would be no court by Jury ferial. The Solicitor stated that just 3ueh an error occurred at Kingstree hy an officer of long experience. Judge Watts said that a few years ago when he-was holding court at Laurens she same mistake occurred by an offi? cer who had been in office eight years md for that reason an inexpert - meed officer is the more excusable. 31erk of Court Baskin stated to the fudge that he was killing to pay for ;he expense of the petit jurors in as ouch as he had made the error. The Fudge said he would not think of mak rig him pay the expenses and refund ;q aegoDv his offer.-Lee County Vin* Bishopville Paragraphs. The father, brother and brother-in law of Mr. W. F. Creech, deceased, ?ame over to attend court this week. Miss Beulah Khame, of Sumter, is iperkling several day with Miss Rae DeSchamps. Mr L. L. Baker has sent in to the bounty Board bis resignation as dis? penser. Mr. Baker says the work has ncreased five fold and the responsi? bility and work that is ?in it is too treat for the small pay. He is ac? knowledged to be one of the best dis? pensers in the State and his resigna ;ion is a distinct loss to Lee county. Wanning News Notes. I Mrs. W. E. Jenkinson who is seri )usly ill was taken to Dr. Moods* in irmary last Saturday hight, and an )peration was performed Sunday, vhich to the delight of her family and iriends she stood well, and all of us lope for a speedy recovery.-Manning Times. On last Friday, Mr. T. E. Green, )f Turbeville, spent the day squirrel punting on Black river and was re? suming to his home at night on Mr. Alderman's trram. The tram was stopped to let him off, and the en? gineer seeing him step aside, pulled >ut again. It seems Mr. Green had [aid some of his belongings aside and stepped back to get a trunk off the flat ;ar, and.on stepping, between the cars just at the time the engineer started bis train, he was thrown down, some pf the trucks passing over one of his legs, crushing it fearfully. On hear? ing his cries the train was quickly stopped, and the wounded man carried a few feet away where everything was jone for him that could be done. But she shock was too great, and he did aot rally, dying a few minutes later. He was about 54 years of age.-Man? ning Farmer. September Cotton Receipts. The receipts of cotton during the month of September as reported by the public cotton weighers were 6,118 bales against 12,512 last September, a difference of 6,394 bales. As the re? ceipts during August 1902 were about 1,500 bales and during August 1903 less than 25 bales, the receipts this year to date are mor6 than 7,000 bales less than .the receipts last year during the same period. The crop, is much shorter than the most conservative thought it would be and their is no possibility of the re? ceipts this season equaling the re ciepts of last reason. A tf?AL CURZ FOR It has recently been discovered thal the germs th-at produce Malaria, breed and multiply in the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the Im?.J. This fact ex? plains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old me.hod of treatment. Quinine, Iron. etc.. stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Rydale's Ionic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding mi? crobes, it also kills the germs that infest the veins ami arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. RYDALE'S TOXIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer. Try it, it will not disap? point you. Miss Beaufort Brand. In the last copy of Mnsic and Musi? cians published by the John Church company, appears the folllowing sketch accompanied by a cut of Misss Beau? fort Brand, one of Augusta's popular vocalists : "Miss Beaufort Brand is a Sourh Carolinian. She was born in Sumter, the birthplace of i;he world-renowned singer. Ciara Louise Kellogg. Miss Brand came to Augusta, Georgia, to study voice culture and singing with Mrs. Nathaniel L. Willer, a Boston woman, and one of the most erudite musicians and teachers of the country. In three seasons Miss Brand returned to her native city, whose musical sense had been educated by the influence of the wonderful Kellogg, and astonished the people by her volume of melodious quality and breadth of tone, her musi? cal interpretation, her sense of atmos? phere, and her technique. She was received with ovations. "Returning to Augusta, Miss Brand accepted the position of soprano in the First Baptist Church. Added succes? ses have been made in cantatas, con? certs and private musicals. Her sing? ing is always an inspiration. Especially beautiful is her rendition of Arditi's Felicita, which shows her brilliance, as her rendition of Wille by's Stolen Wings shows ber daintiness of style. Other songs in her repertoire, showing the versatility of her genius are : In May Time, Buck ; A Summer Day, Nevin; Roses' of June, De Koven; The Message of the Rose, Mathews; and English Lullaby, Evans. This places her reputation as a rising artist MissBrand is still studying with Mrs. Willer, who has given up all public work in which a few years ago she was foremost in the city, the better to infuse her marvellous musical spirit into the pupils in her care. Thus, Miss Brand is constantly gaining in breadth of character-musical and per? sonal. Her platform education has been carefully considered, and has added to her splendid native qualities. She is young, tall, with commanding grace and dignity of bearing. She possesses a singer's face, handsome in repose, illumined when singing, and has a striking personality.-Augusta Herald.
