The programme arranged con? sists of vocal and instru? mental music, interspersed between the more serious and solid matter of the meeting, consisting of Dr. O. A. Wauchope's lecture and the final re? port of arrangements made by the Field Day arrangement committee. The previous lectures of Dr. Wau chope have been well attended and listened to with much pleasure by a large number of teachers and others Interested in South Carolina litera? ture and It is hoped that the meeting for Saturday will be even better attend? ed than any of the former meetings, especially by the teachers of the ru? ral dlstrles who, as a whole, have not attended the meetings of the associa? tion as well as could have been ex? pected, and have left to the city teach? ers and a f. w of the country teachers the pleasure of attending all of the meetings which all should attend, for the good done at the meeting! is as much for one as for another. Those Interested in the Field Day ex? ercises -mould attend as. at this meet? ing, it is probable that the committee of arrangements will make its final report and they ni. y, if they do not attend, miss the Opportunity of get? ting an even start with the others In the races for the Field Day prizes.

PURSUES RUNAWAY WIFE. CHICAOOAN FOLLOWS I MI'l,uM AMi WIFE FOR TWO WEEKS VXD FINOS THEM IN CHARLESTON. _ I Dramatic Development nt Railroad s.i. ;<tu, After Which all Disappear. Charleston, Jan. ?After a chase which has lasted for over two weeks, in which two detectives were em? ployed, A. s. Lane, a wealthy Chicago contractor this morning discovered his young wife registered at a local hotel as the witv o! i>. Monroe, aged 10, Monn 8 was an employe In Lane's firm and had recently been paid |10,000 by the concern for work done. Following the refusal of the local i 'aid' of police to arrest Monroe and the woman ai the hotel, Lane followed them in a hack t<> the depot whore they were to have taken the train for Jacksonville, He attaoked Mon? te with a small dub, hurting him badly, I Miring this melee Mrs. Lane left the i'Utfgy and has not been seen ?lnce, Loth Lane and Monroe were arrested for fighting and subsequently released oti deposit of |S5 bail. Lane IS Bald to have left tonight for Jack? sonville on the Clyde liner Arapahoe. No trace of Mrs. Lane or Monroe could be found at any of the local hotels or lodging houses. Lane stated that he had determin? ed to find the man if it cost him $100, 000. While in police headquarters Lane said to Monroe: "If I had had a good crack at you, 1 would have killed you." Monroe was painfully but not seri? ously injured by the fight. Some Random Thoughts. There are several matters of im? portance to come before the Union next Friday and each local union should see that Its delegates attend. Not merely go to Sumter to see about private business and spend little or no time at the meeting, but spend all the time at the meeting that is neces? sary to understand and act upon every measure proposed. Only in this way can the aim of the farmers be safelj' directed and carried to success. This beginning of another crop season Is a very tryhag one on any farmer who is not merely drifting. Upon wise plans begun right, depend all the year's work, whether it will be a success or a failure. The agricul? tural papers are so full of advice that our advice Is to subscribe for one or another of them, and study to apply their advice to our needs. Really, though not a great deal of the con? tents of farm papers is in the shape of advice, It ^o.c In the nature of demonstrated facts from which cer? tain conclusions must Inevitably be drawn. Each one for himself must determine whether he will apply the principles laid down or 'go on guess? ing. May 1911 show more marked im? provements In our methods and re? sults than any year in our history. E. W. D. Sumter's rich nu n are not so rich as they are popularly credited with being, judging from the Income tax returns. Another prevalent error is relative to the number of men sup? posed to enjoy Income!

Sunday afternoon a little before SI o'clock the hose wagons were called out to a Are on Washington str? et at I tin- residence of Dr. K, A. Mood which ! they wore able to put out after a hair hour's hard work, and aft r some damage to their Sunday clothes?at least to the clothes cd' .-<?m?' of them-. and after the lire und water combined had done considerable damage to the house and furniture. Che fire started In a trunk room from some unknown cause and was making good headway when the first i hose waffon reached the ; ca ne. A. I stream of water w;.s turned 'it at once, but it was sonn- time before the i firemen could make a hole In the roof of the building and get the water where it was most needed. Kianllv, alter both wagons had turned out and two streams of water were turn? ed <?n the lire, it was placed under i control and extinguished a few min? utes later. The principal damage was done to the root* which was partly torn off in getting to the lire and partly burned Off by the lire. Some of the furniture wa. damaged by the lire besides that which was broken in being tak? en from the house, which was not much. After the fire was extinguish? ed, the furniture was moved back in? to the house and the family was busy for the remainder of the day getting things straightened up. Dr. Mood was unable to give an es? timate of the loss and damage done, but It will probably be about $300, which it is understood is covered by insurance.
