To Ihe Bdltor of The state: I The Conference for Education In the South whlerf was held lust week iu Richmond was most fruitful in suggestions.

The banker, the mi ,? chant, ihe farmer, :!??? university pro? fesaor, ilie Country teacher, the coun? ty superintendent,, the Statesman, tl editor, the doctor and the govern? ment spe< lallet ail worked together, no ? ne having in \ iew his own pcr sonal ambition; but ertch striving to mal e fjomc worthy contribution to ? ? oinmoii cauae. The farmer from Minnesota told the farther from Kentucky and HOUth Carolina how he had organised a cooperative grain ele? vator or a farmers' bank which had meant wealth and opportunity to his people; a county superintendent from Kentucky told how she had reduced the Illiteracy of a whole county by one-third through the country night school for adults; a doctor of phll oflophy who had studied at a German university told a group of farmers how the German farmer, through co? operation, was enabled to borrow money at 4 per cent; a country minis? ter from Virginia told how his church had organized the recreation of the y?Ultp people and had thereby substi? tuted wholesome for harmful amuse? ment; a health officer told how he had organized a county for better public health and had thereby in? creased the happiness and efficiency of his State; a university professor of economics discussed with State offi? cials the best method of rendering less chaotic the tax systems of the South. All of these conferences were per? vaded with a spirit of unselfishness whh h is developed when men and Women discuss great principles and their applications to the practical need? of social life. It has occurred to nie that we nee I BUOh a conference in South Carolina. It has been a long time since people in this State representing all walks of life and all professions have come to? gether to discuss in an unselfish de? liberate way the general welfare of the State. The political organiza? tion of our State does not provide for any people's forum where men may meet and discuss their common in? terests.

CREEPERS BEAT RECORD. White's Men Make New Record for Howling In Five-Handed Game ? Defeat Leeches. The Creepera, captained by White, defeated the Leeches, captained by Cuttlno, Monday night in a very inter? esting bowling match and in doing Ihis they made a new record in a live handed game. The score for the game was i>2<?, making an average of HJ4 1-5 pins. This is by far the highest st ole which has been bowled on the v. M. C. A. alleys In any game. The lirst game went to the Leech? es by T'? pins, but they wert" not abb to hold this gooil lead for in the sec? ond game, when the liiKh record was made by White's men. the Creepers defeated them by *di pins, making a difference of only four pins. The laal game w;is watched with the greatest interest, a* the outcome would mean practically the winning of the champ? ionship of the series by White, if he Won the match. This he was disposed to do, for the last game his men went ahead by 79 pins, making a majority of 75 pins in the match. ????? ? ????????? EARTHQUAKE PELT IN CANADA.
