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.

Attention Trustees and Teachers.
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.

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?
