At last report he ^as somewhat batter but Is thought to be in a critical condition. We hope for him a speedy recovery. Claims the Garden of Eden. Among other things claimed by Mr. uasmajion, the Armenian minister who lectured here recently, he stated that every thin? went to prove that the Garden of Eden spot was in Armenia. He said Mt. Ararat and the ruins were all there and it must be admitted that the first man and his wife Eve were inhabitants of his country. But Bishop Keenan, of Charleston, takes issue with that argument and brings forth many things to back UP his argument that ttie Garden of Eden was located near Charleston. The Armeniau gave a very interesting lecture upon the habits and customs of the people in his country. Chance for a Young Man. Hon. Jos. T. Johnson sends U3 the following letter.

At the request of County Superintendent of Education D. B. Fant, we publish this letter from the State Superintendent of Education. Mr. Fantasks that all trustees and teachers read and dicrest this letter and that all turn over a new leaf and try and better our schools every way. OFFICE OF THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. Columbia, S. C., March 20. 1901. D. B. Fant, Co. Supt. Education: Dear sir:?A. very small number of teachers attended the Summer School in your county last year. With ihe reduced funds at my disposal this year 1 shall not be warranted in holding a separate school for a county where there will not be a considerable attendance of actual teachers. Before determining to omit your county I shall ask you to do all you can to secure pledges of attendance, taking into consideration the following, which must largely influence the attendance: 1. Number of teachers actually residing in your county during the Summer vacation. You will know who of thore now teaching in your county will po home to other counties when their sohoo's close. But there .may be some teaching elsewhere who will come home to your county during the Summer. They or their families should see your inquiry in the paper. 2. Number of resident teachers who have actual assurance of being employed for the coming school term. In this connection it is painful to note from last year's report that most of the teachers attending your Summer School were at the time still without positions, without the assurance of being further employed to teach. With this discouraging outlook it is not strange that so few went to the labor and expense of four weeks schooling further to fit themselvfs for their profession. Under such circumstances, teaching is hardly to tie called a profession. You should exeit yourself at once to remedy this by urging upon] your trustees the importance of contracting with their teachers eaily in July. Even now if the county board and the board of trustees agree, a teacher can be given assurance of reemployment upon such conditions as may be desired3. Financial aid to the teachers that attend the Summer School. Trustees should be urged to add to the tirst month'a salary of the teacher in consideration of attendance upon the school. Tb}? "ppemjum" might be tixed at $."> or 110, or the entire expense of attenaing the 8ummer School. Whether tho amonnt be large or small, any evidence of appreciation on the part of the trustees would tend to encourage ami stipulate the teacher.

Reno. . -Grindall Gleanings. Mr. Eoitoh:?As my last letter did not gel to the waste basket I will again attempt to entertain the many readers of this paper. Mindful of disaster past, And shrinking at the northern blast, Reluctant comes the timid Spring. From every hill and dale comes the sweet fragrance of many blooms. The heavy rains of the previous week has given lhe busy farmers a little leisure. While at the same time those who patrouize the terrace may view their wide spreading results (a gully.) A ditch properly made will prove more serviceable. U'-ion county has repaired her portiou of the bridge at this place but Cherokee has failed to follow. Has she more than she can attend to? If so Union may extend a helping hand. Mr. Golden Harman planted some corn some weeks ago and until 5Tet he has had no return. Early birds do not at all times catch the worm. Wheat through this section is looking very promising. The man who has the largest grain acreage is the man who will stand the may-be-low price cotton in the future better. Watch it for this particular season. One year ago theie was a good many people who sold their cotton liefore it was made at 8 cents and it went to 101 cents. Their loss was the buyers gain", but next time the boot may be on ilie other foot. Watch it. B. 1*. F. West Springs News Notes. Mu. Editor:?Farmers have had a back set this week on account of the heavy rains that fell last Monday and Tuesday. East Monday seemed to be a great cyclone day as three different ones passed over. The first one was traveling northward. It did not do any damage here as it was too high in the air but it could be distinotly heard. Some rain fell, and we are told that a heavy rain fell at Glenn Springs. The second came from the west and was traveling east. It seemed to dip down near the Forest on the Cannon place where it literally tore up a lot fence which was build very substantially, and wringing a house from its foundation. I don't think we should count the third as a cyclone as it did not seem to be one at this place. It was said to be very severe in Georgia, although the clouds worked in a frigbtuing way above us. If it was a cyclone it was like the others that passed, it was above us. After the worst of the cloud had seerard to be past it began to rain in torrents and continued until Tuesday about ten o'clock. The farmers say they uover luul land so badly washed before. It is with a broken heart 1 relate the death of my beloved aunt, Mrs. llobt Mc Arthur. It was such an unexpected and sudden blow \ye feel we can hardly bear up. She was apparently well and gay as she always was at dinner, and was joking with others of the family, and iittle aid iney think in two hours she would be cold in death. Oh. God' }t seems impossible that dear Nanie has gone from us forever. I ara glad to say she was a devout Christian and we are not separated forever, but we will meet some sweet day b}e and bye. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother and bad not an enemy. Jt is sp hard tQ thjuk of the dear little ones left behind with no mother to protect and guide them. May the Lord protect and guide them and be a mother to the motherless. She knew in whom she trusted and was ready wht n the message came. She WW of a sweet disposition and was always happy and oontent. She leaves a husband and three dear little ones, four sisters, one brother and a host of friends to mourn iter loss. She was buried March 29th at Sulphur Springs Baptist Church, of whipb the w arf ar ip#>mW. The funeral service was conducted by her paster Rev. W, P. ounin. Although she passed away, the example she ?et and her christian influence will live after her. To know her was to love her, and that the Lord will be with the loved opes, and espeoially the little ones, is the I prayer of the writer. M. L? I Interesting I Kibboi ' I I ' No. 7.
