In an effort to make the State Teach s' association a larger and more in ential body, at the meeting at Win rop college last summer the commit : on organization, which had beei pointed the year before, made a re rt, the principal feature of whicl is the recommendation in regard t< permanent membership. A recom nidation was also made that a com ttee of three be appointed from cacl unty to secure members and arousi :erest in the State association. Th commendations were unanimous!; opted. In order to get this information be re the teachers of the State, Mr. F Dreher, of Columbia, the prcsiden the association, has sent a circula ter to all the county superintendent roughout the State, in which an ur nt appeal is made for a more earnes ort in behalf of the State Teachers sociation. Accompanying these let rs were about 4,000 mcmbershi edge cards for use in securing ne\ embers. Heretofore, membership in the asso ition has been very irregular and un rtain, but by the plan now propose ose who sign the cards for member ip will be considered members ii od standing, subject to annual due: itil a written resignation shall b nt to the secretary. This plan ha en pursued by the National Educa in association for quite a long tim d also by the Southern Education! sociation since its organizatior any State associations follow th me plan, which, indeed, seems to b e only one that works successfully. Should the plan outlined prove sue sst'ul in largely increasing the merr rship of the association, as it i iped and believed it will, a copy c e minutes of each annual meeting, it nding all addresses and a complet ;t of all members, will be sent t ch member of the association. While this association is primaril teacher's organization, any whit rsoti may become a member by paj g the annual dues, which are one do r for men and lifty cents for wr en. Persons who do not get a rej; ar membership card and who ma ish to join the association, can d i by tilling out the form given in th rcular letter belo.w and complyin ith the instructions therein given. The letter sent out by Superintet :nt Drehcr is as follows: Columbia, S. C., Jan. 14, 1907. y Dear Sir: I am writing to call your attention t ic action of the State Teacher*'? ation, at the meeting held at Wit rop college last summer, in regar 1 increasing the membership of th sociation, and thereby make it ore influential and efficient organiz; 111 for promoting the educational it rests of the State of South Cart 1a. With this end in view, at that meei g the following report, made by th organization committee, was unan ouslv and enthusiastically adopted: 1. That the annual membership fe ; made $r.oo for men and 50 cen1 r ladies, and that a copy of the mil es be furnished each member. 2. That each member sign and file i iplicale with the secretary a men irship pledge card. 3. That a committee of three b pointed from each county: (a) T licit membership and to arouse a terest in the work and purpose r. e association, (b) That these con ittees keep in touch with the secrt ry of the association. Knowing that you are interested 1 e cause of education, not only i tur county, but also in the State 1 rge, I have appointed you chairma the committee for your county, an 11 kindly request you to associat th you two other active, energeti achers to assist you in securing meir rs for the association. Under another cover I am sendin u membership cards for use amon ur teachers. When properly fille it, they should be sent to the secr< ry, Mr. L. W. Dick, superintender schools, Abbeville, S. C., with mem rship fees enclosed. This matter could be presented t ur county teachers' association, br case be sure to give a pledge car every white teacher in your count] At present the membership of th at<* association is only 157, when ould be not less than 2,000. Wi u not do your part to secure thi mber? An answer will be greatly appreci cd. Very truly yours, E. S. Dreher, President. Additional letters were sent to th lieges and the town and city supei tendents explaining the purpose c e circular. Any person interested in the caus education and of the State Teach s' association of South Carolina wh iy see this article, is urged by th inagement of the association to as it in widely disseminating the infot ition contained in it.

West Springs, Jan. 22.?It seems C 1- that one extreme is about to be fol- M 1- lowed by another. After two weeks U| - of tine weather, it seems that winter ^ rt has con\nienced anew. Those who A - have been grumbling because of the 3g| It warm weather have no cause for com- ^ 3 plaint iiaw. Mrs. W. D. Lancaster is quite ill U| - with grippe. Several are complaining ^ h of colds. This is no doubt caused by W e the sudden change of the weather. e Mrs. C. C. Lancaster returned Mon- ^ y day from Union, where she had been W visiting her daughter, Mrs. Bernard m - Mcng. ^ While hewing some timbers Thurs- W t day, Mr. Marvin West had the misfor- U| r tune to cut his foot quite seriously. ^ s Mrs. Annie Horton returned Satur- W - day from Chester, where she attended SA t the marriage of her sister. ^ i' | Rev. J. R. Funderburk filled his ap- ^ - pointments at Putmans and West 2d p Springs Sunday. ^ v Mr. J. B. Lancaster is here taking ^ the property returns today. 2d 1 Thos. J. West. ^ Long Live the King. & is the popular cry throughout European 0! '' countries; while in America, the cry of ^ ^ the present day is "Long live Dr. 2d King's New Discovery, King of Throat Qj c and Lung Remedies!" of which Mrs. 'P tj Julia Ryder Paine, Truro, Mass.' says: M , "It never fails to give immediate re- ^ e lief and to quickly cure a cough or ^ e cold." Mrs. Paine's opinion is shared W by a majority of the inhabitants of this 2d country. New Discovery cures weak ^ i- lungs and sore throats after all other ^ s remedies have failed; and for coughs 2p| >f and colds it's the only sure cure.
