While the Spartanburg Journal measured the man in its own estimate, i. c., the editor of Progress, it failed utterly to justify itself in its persistent appropriation of articles taken from other newspapers without credit. There is general news free to all papers; hut specials and original matter if copied from one paper to another should he credited to the writer or pap^r from which it is taken. School trustees should he elected by the people every two years, two lit* - iionung over lor four years to serve with the new l?oard. A trustee should be an educated man, competent to judge of the qualifications of teachers. Trustees should visit the schools at least twice during a session. Trustees are'not paid, but they should have sutlieicnt interest in the education of the children to see and know that the schools arc properly taught. mmmm "IT CTT?OTHI1 iTC~ tile" >iWJ| VP" T press for trying cases through the columns of the newspapers shiec ^ Judge Davis who presided over two trials of Nan Patterson charged with the murder of Caeser Young in the city of New York, has since the I failure of the jury to come to a *Wverdict in this case, condemned Nan | tterson by saying that she lied Htf^pom start to finish, that he knew ^^^Hhc was lying all the time.

It is a bright literary treat r and specially interesting to the people of this city since it contains a very nice account of the Floral Festival of last June, hy Mr. Allan Nicholson. It is illustrated with i photographs of three of the vehicles Iii._ ; - * ? ? 111 uiu procession. airs. v. Hi. I)cPass, Miss Ina McNally' and Mr. Thos. McNally, these pictures are perfect and the persons and teams with their decorations arc easily recognized. The picture of little Aubrey Rice is also good, as one of the winners at the baby show. This is certainly very creditable and enterprising in Mr. Nicholson and a most effective way of advertising this city. THE WOMAN'S FEDERATION. End of the Session of the Women's Clubs at Union? Mrs. Sligh Reelected President. The Union correspondent of the j Charleston Evening Post, reporting the proceedings of the Federation of Woman's Clubs at Union, says: The president, Mrs. Wilbur K. Sligh of Newberry, who is a young woman of very sweet personality and charming cordiality, has made a very ahlo presiding officer throughout the routine of business sessions, holding the convention strictly to -wiiUTTrvTritlin?< morning she said: "This has been the most harmonious meeting the federation has ever held, besides l)cing tbe largest in attendance and interest. The chairmen of the various departments have done most excellent work, their reports all showing they bad labored with great earnestness and enthusiasm. The civic improvement department has grown most encouragingly through its efficient chairman, Miss Mary Watcrhousc of Beaufort, and was th<> fi'ntiirn r>f tlm miwt.incr. though more time was devoted to the reformatory school and much enthusiasm aroused in that cause. The library work has also grown marvclously in this state, and with the many traveling libraries now under our control onljr one case has been lopt the past year. 1 certainly would like to express our appreciation of the lovely and generous hospitality Union has extended to us. We have been most warmly received and all your plans for our comfort and pleasure have been most charmingly worked out. Then our assembly hall has never been lovelier. To me this has been a most pleasant meeting. Being a novice in my duties I naturally felt trepidation at the tusk before me, but everyone has been so sympathetic that I have personally enjoyed all the sessions. There has been nothing to mar the pleasure of the whole convention .'' OFFICKKS FOH TIIK ENSIINO YEAH. The following officers were elected to serve the ensuing year: President, Mrs. W. K.

Editor: I visited my old home Cross Keys a few days ago, met many of my friends, not all, for I did not have time to visit them. It had been seven months since I was there.
