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

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.

The June number of the I^ulies
Home Companion came to us Sat
urday. 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

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
.''

them. It had been seven months
