At 11 joint mooting of the Ruroi s, hool Improvement Association and the County Teachers Association, held Saturday noon at ths Hampton school on Hampton Avenue, officers for the coming year wert elected for the Teachi ri Association, the Rural School improvement association having given place to Its sister as n lotion for that purpose, the ofH ? i s sleeted being, President W. M. Scott Secretary and Treasurer, Misa Mary atellette, Chairman of the Ex? ecutive committttt Miss Agnti Rich? ardson. Col, D?rgen who was the j efficient president Of the assoe iotlOIl last year resigned on account of lack of time to carry out the duties of the position. His resignation was ac i epted With much regret by U)*1 teachers over Whose meetings he has formerly presided, and he will be much missed by them. There was a fairly good attend? ance at tht meeting which was the first Of the present scholastic year. Much Interest was expressed by those present and it Is probable that the j meetings will bt even better attended than last year. It was decided that th? meetings should bt held on the first Saturday of each month, with | the exception of next month when the meeting was postponed until the second Saturday on account of the State fair. S> veral recommendations were made to the teachers, and several short talks wer*' made by different persons present. Mr E. W. DabOS made a speech advising that the Coonty Superintendent of Education be paid a Iprgor salary so that he could devote all of his time to the work of looking after the schools in the county and in helping the teach? ers to find better methods of teach? ing and solving the many problems with which they have to deal. He said that he thought that a man who had been a teacer and was acquainted with methods of teaching should be elected to the office and that In do? ing so and paying him such a salary that he could devote all of his time to the work he thought that thtrt would be a great Improvement In the schools and in the system of teaching. Col, J. J. Dargan also made a speech along the same lines that was very interesting and In? structive tit the teachers. Ht deem? ed it Wist to pay the Instructors at the teachers' meetlngss, saying that he thought that the County Board ought to be willing to do so. The County Hoard let the teachers know that It was willing to accept the work done at these monthly meetings of the teachers as equivalent to an ex? amination on the subjects taken up In the teachesr meetings. It was ad? vised that the trustees give an ad? ditional amount of salary to those teachers who were regular in attend? ance upon the meetings, they, how? ever, acting at their own discretion in the matter. Mrs. Parier of Wedgefleld, County Organizer of the Rural School Im? provement association, made her re? port which was heard with interest. She expected a much larger enroll? ment this year than ever before. Mrs. Weinberg of Wedgefleld, who is much interested In school work, was present with Mrs. Parier. She said that she was glad to see what pro? gress had been made In school work along these lines In this county. Frost in l.oui-ana. New Orleans.

BULLS THINK PALL IX COTTON is NATURAL IX REACTION. Prolonged Favorable Weather and increase lu Rocelpta Hove Had Some Effect on Prices. New York. Oct. 21.?Though prices of cotton have received a sharp setback of a bale or more, the bulls look upon 't as only a nat? ural reaction alter a rise of nearly $iu a bale. Prolonged favorable weather has had some effect on i prices. So has the increase in re ceipts. afore than all, however, the long account had become unwieldly and when iarg<* Southern operators seeming certain spot Interests started to sell, they wer naturally followed by the smaller leaders and a violent decline was tin unavoidable conse? quence. Besides, the South has sold rather more freely on hedges and Liverpool has also sent selling orders. Spinners evidently were surprised at the break in raw cotton and there? fore have purchased less freely. Then, too, some big spot interests are supposed to be against the mar? ket. Room traders have operated for a decline, fearing advance vvould be over done. A still more potent factor was the growing impression that the crop has been underrated. No talk is heard nowadays of a yield of only 11,000,000 bales. Even some of the bulls who believe that ulti? mately prices must go much higher frankly state that they look for a crop of 12,000,000 bales. Some of the bears Insist that the yield will, In ail probability, mount to i:i,oo., 000 bales. Spot markets have been less active ana have naturally yielded to some extent in company With fu? tures. The National Glnner's figures were not considered stimulating, to say the least. Very prominent South? ern operators, including leading Texas interests, are believed to have sold on an enormous scale. Wall street und the West have been r/lers. On the othor ha-*I, the bullish idea Is deep seated among a large class of cotton people, Including some of large experience, who have had a great success In the past, not excepting the season just ended. They think that even if prices should go oft now for a time they must ulti? mately reach a much higher point. Lancashire's prospects for the sea? son are believed to be good. Ear silver has of late been rapidly rising in London, whereby the purchasing power of the Far East has ben, theo? retically, at least, considerably in ci eased. Fall River s sales of print cloths have been largo and the tone of the cotton goods market Is con? sidered firm, even If there is less ac? tivity than recently. Tho fall in raw cotton having made buyers somewhat more cautious. Then, too, although the receipts at the ports and interior towns have increased, they are, after* all, still on a very moderate scale. A long period of very favorable weather threatens now to be suc? ceeded by crop scares. Certainly within a few days the occurrence of I frost in Texas and Oklahoma has made the market nervous. Spinners, moreover, although they are not buying on so large a scale as re? cently, are still in the market steadily buying futures. Large spot inter? ests, although they may be manoeuv? ring for lower prices are said to be still buying here. American and continental buying in Liverpool has at times figured largely in the trans? actions here. The bill of lading dif? ficulty has been adjusted. That of itself is considered very important. Of late, however, the disposition has been rather to sell than to buy for the time being, despite some killing frosts in the Southwest. lUg Planta Erected.

THE TRFJ 0 COLLEGE CELEBRATES VICTORY Dressed In Swaddling White, Ho>s Parade Streets In Honor of Oocas sion. Charleston, Oct. 23.?Strollers on King street, Charleston's "great white way," Saturday night Were treated to an unusual sight, when suddenly, to the accompaniment of two big drums, there emerged from a side street a long line of weird, white robed figures marching In "lock step" formation. As the procession proceeded up King stre t, the sidewalks became so crowded that one who did not know otherwise might have thought that "Big Bill" was passing through the streets preparatory to embarking on his trip to Panama. The White-Clad figures were not long In reevallng their identity, how ever. Their (heering soon made known the fact that they were a bunch of students from the College of Charleston celebrating their victory In Saturday's football game with the l tttadel. Only one who is in close touch With these institutions can know the great rivalry which exists between them, especially for supremacy In athletics. Hence, when the colle? gians won from the Citadel by the score of 11 to 0, they determined to celebrate in grand style. This deter? mination was all the more strength? ened by the fact that the college had not wrested a victory from the Cita? del in football in several years, ow? ing to the fact that the Citadel has a so much larger student body than the College from which to choose their material. After parading on Klnf street the possession of college boys went by the News and Courier Office, and to the residence of each of the profes? sors of the Cjollege from whom speeches were called for and receiv? ed. The last place visited was the residence Of Mayor R. Goodwin Rhett. The mayor came out on the balcony of his residence and thank? ed the boys for their lusty cheers TEXAS .CROP DAMAGE. Accounts from Some Say That Plant Has Been Killed by Recent 1*Yosts. Callas. Texas. Oct. 21.?Reports today from widely scattered points In Texas show frosts ranging in se? verity from light to very heavy. About half of these localities are In cotton counties, in some of which damage to the growi.-ia; crop Is indicated; some repoi ts say that the plant is entirely killed and others that little damage is visible owing to the great amount of moisture. Many localities In extreme northwestern Tex;1* re? port snow with freezing temperature. Comache, Texas, reports the low? est drop, 12 above zero. Nearly the entire State has received soaking rains.

Hyrd. t-o negro who Is in the penitentiary on the charge of assaulting a well-known white woman. Solicitor Cobb has been asked to petition the governor for the term, but he may not do so until some of the courts at which he must prosecute have been held, it is likely, however, that the special term will he ordered. CaioUna-Lenoir Teams Play. Columbia, Oct. 22. -A good deal of interest attaches to the football game heia? this afternoon between Carolina and Lenolr College from the fact that this will be the last game on the local grounds until the annual game with Clemson is played. The enthusiasts here are hoping that the varsity eleven will show much Im? provement. The games with Clem? son are always interesting and the contest this year will be no exception to the rub'.

ATHLETICS WAVE PENNANT. Defeat Chicago 7 to 2 in Fifth Gaaae of World'- Scries. Won Lost Philadelphia.I 1 Chicago.1 1 Chicago, Oct. 23.?The baseball championship of the world belongs to the Philadelphia club of the American league. The Athletics cinched the big pennant fast today with, seven runs to two for the Chi? cago Nationals and there was none I In the big overflow crowd to say that they had not won it fairly and square? ly. Five games were played and the Eastern youngsters took four of them b\ outbatting, outfielding and outrushing the veteran Chicagoans. They "got the jump" at the sL*.rt, and. although Chicago punctuated their progress with a defeat yester? day, it really did not change the sit? uation a bit. r The Philadelphia m war* dh ? j the pennant. They won the Ameri? can league banner in 1902, but there was no world's series that year. Five years ago the New York Nationals were too strong for them. So. in this year of grace it was not in the cards chat they were to be denied. ' While the series was not the most profitable ever played, it helps to simplify the high cost of living prob? lem confronting even such peers as the Philadelphians. to say nothing of the Chicagoans. The players share of the money amounts to $19,071.93. Of this 60 per cent or $47,443.15, goes to the winners and $31,628.77 to the losers. As there are 23 players on each team eligible to participate, each of the Philadelphias is entitled in round numbers to $2,062 and each Chicagoan to $1,375. The playen shared in today's re? ceipts by courtesy of the manage? ments of the two clubs, who con? ceded that if today's receipts should be larger than those of any previous day, the smallest receipts should be considered as accruing to the fifth game and the Sunday receipts ac i redited to the fourth contest, the last in which the players had a fi? nancial share. The total receipts for the series^ were $173,9Su. The two clubs' shard* is $28,700 .apiece, while $17,399 goes to the national commission. The to? tal paid attendance was 12.'.Iii? per? sons. JAIL DELIVERY AT DILLON. Four Prisoners Saw Ban and Make Good Tiieir Escape. Dillon. Oct. 2i.? Dillon county had its first jail deliery yesterday morn? ing when four prisoners sawed their way to liberty with a cheap file.
