He dec lared that the present administrate n is endeavoring to edu? cate the people in order that a 0S0? satlon of those Injurious results may be brought about in the shortest DOS sible time. In a few well chosen remarks Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States eommis sloner of education, supplemented what Congressman Lever had said. These were the only speakers of the SVOnlngi .Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, h ad of tho famous moonlight school in Kentucky, having notified the as? sociation by telegraph that owing to Illness she would be unable to attend* the meetings here. The attendance last night was ex? cellent, probably 1,800 people being1 present during the exercises of the evening. Many of these were teach Ol whom probably 1.000 are now in the city. Of this number, 81S have! registered, and it is conservatively es? timated that at least 200 others havej not registered.

Sumter Animals Will be Entered in Cajoden Event11 Borne of the Horses Which Will be Seen There und Other Places in Circuit. The Camden Horse Show to be held on the afternoons of April 1st and 2nd will be tho largest and best show ever attempted by the Associ? ation is the opinion expressed by T. Lee Little, secretary. Letters of inquiry have been pouring in for the past two weeks from some of the largest exhibitors in the South i and who have promised to send their horses to Camden to compete for the high honors. Mr. W. S. Ray, of Asheville, X. C, considered one of the best show ring generals in the country will show some eight' or ten horses through the South j i arolina Horse Show Circuit. Greenville will also be represent? ed at the Camden Show by some of the local fanciers, who will be work? ing for the interest of the show all tho time. . Mr. J. X. Kirven, of Darlington, is coming with a large stable of horses to the Camden Horse show. Mr. Kirven is president of the South Carolina Horse Show As?o i elation, and is one of the best I known horse fanciers in the State. He will exhibit as is customary with him his horses at the Camden Show. In his tables is found the well known horses Dan, Lawson, Ti? dal Wave, Foxy Phil and many oth? ers. These horses have been exhi? bited by Mr. Kirven at a number of the South's largest shows lor the past three years and are all win? ners. Tho Camden Horse Show Asocia tion boasts of having the best are? na in tho South today. This new j arena has just been completed and is III feet by 32;. feet, with straight sides and the turns have been made! perfectly safe. A large force of' I hands have been at work for tho' past two weeks in leveling up these j grounds und now have them In the very best of condition. A new grand! stand has Just been completed and | is directly in front of the judge's stand giving the best of view to | the entire performances. There is a possible chance of Col. O. J. Moocrs. of Columbia, Mis-, sour), corning to the Camden show! with his eleven show horses repre? senting in value $03,000, and be? lieved by some to be the best' bunch of show horses in America today. Col. Moocrs has written to Secretary Little for information re gardlng the conditions of a num- J her of the classes in which he ex? pected to exhll it. Alst) for a res? ervation of fifteen stalls. It bj very much hoped that Col. Mooorg Will come to Camden. Mr. Qeo. T. Little has just re? turned from a ten days' tour through Kentucky whore he purchased sev-1 en high class show horses to be ex-| hlblted at the South (.'arolina horse shows this spring, starting in at the Camden show. Among the new additions to Mr. Little's stables will be found Lula Marion, a three-gait- 1 ed aaddle mare that has won a ' long list of championships at re? cent Kentucky shows. She WSJ 1 the grand Champion at the Bluo 1 Grass Fair, Lexington, Ky., last ' summer, deflating .some of the best of Kentucky bred horses. Mr. Lit tie expects this mare to be an easy winner at all of the South Carolina ' shows. Other purchases were two line harness horses, tWO hve-galted , horses, a roadster, and a three-year ; old gelding by McDonald Chief. i All of those horses have been constant winners at all of the larg est Kentucky shows last summer. The different cities composing the State horse show circuit are i now negotiating with "California Frank" to put on a special exhibi? tion of his trained horses and trick mules at the different shows. Such a performance would be an added attraction and a big draw? ing card. "California Frank" Is now hibernating in Augusta, Ga., and owns one of the finest collec? tions of trained horses and mules In America, He recently received a proposition to exhibit his ae'mals In Chicago as a special attract for a big Shriners meeting, but on I account of the Change of climate in that section ho did not consider the proposition. He was in Green? vlllc lasi week and conferred with Mr. Mills. He ll now visiting the other dins of the circuit for the purpose of closing the deal. Watchful, a very.line three-gait ed gelding, the property of T. B. Krumbhols, will be exhibited at tho Camden show. This horse is a champion In a number of Northern shows, and was the champion at Washington, D. C, lasi spring. Sumter will be well represented in the la <i arena April 1st and 2nd. Tills town is well known for tine horses ami fanclors from there ex? pert well of their entries. Prof, v. t. Yarborough and his band have been contracted with to furnish music for the Horse Show. Prof, Yarborough is one of the best known Southern band directors and visitors can depend upon the best of musical programs. From Camden these horses will come to Sumter, the next exhibition in the South Carolina Horse Show circuit. GOOD PROSPECT OF RAISING FUND. Methodists Responding to Call of Their Colleges. The Rev. Walter I. Herbert ol Sumter will begin a systematic can? vass of the Sumter district of the South Carolina conference of the Southern Methodist Church April 1, with a view of raising a minimum of $300,000 with which the indebted? ness of the three Methodist colleges. Woflord, Lander and Columbia, will be cleared In addition to meeting the |i ? ?tedness, Mr. Herbert expects to create an endowment funu*. At the last meeting of the confer? ence at Rock Hill, Mr. Herbert was elccted commissioner of education of the South Carolina conference in or? der to unify the agencies of the three colleges, which up to that time had been working separately. Since that time Mr. Herbert has been consider? ing a plan whereby money could be raised to cover the indebtedness and create an endowment for the tnree colleges of the conference. This plan provides that Drs. Snyder, Wilson ind Daniel, presidents of the colleges, j with the aid of a committee appoint? ed in each pastorate, shall present to the churches the question of raising this sum. With the matter clearly be? fore the congregations Mr. Herbert will then make a trip in person. "Already we have received a great J deal of encouragement," said Mr. Herbert yesterday, "and I am glad to say that several thousand dollars have been subscribed. The need of taking an educational institution from under a burdensome indebtedness is very great, and the value of creating an endowment, both of chairs and j scholarships, is almost unlimited. 11 believe that with time and faithful service this sum, which I set as the mlnlmumt Will be raised and judging from prospects and encouragement I that I have received from many quar? ters I think the time will be a short' one. "Tho plan we have drawn Is satis? factory and practical," Mr. Herbert i continued, "and I hope each pastor! Will appoint a committee of not less' than three persons, either men ort women or both, who will immediately set to work on the duty to which Lhey have been assigned. I have con? ferred With a number of prominent Methodists in South Carolina, and all of them have assured me of their co? operation In seeing that the move? ment is started in their pastorates. When raised, one-half of the sum will )Q given to Wofford college, and Lan? ier and Columbia colleges will divide the other half. "This means a great deal to South? ern Methodism," he went on to say,1 for we have just seen from the fed-j oration of the Wesley Bible classes j that the South Is looking to South! Carolina to take the lead in Methodist affairs. An opportunity is given us o place Southern Methodist educa* ;ional institutions on a solid financial j OSls, without which it is difllcult for tny college to show its greatest etli jlency."
