There is one who deserves special mention and should receive the majority of the votes of Union county and especially should he receive the solid support of the voters of Buffalo, us it was here that he spent the best efforts of bis life, and within sight of the place where he first saw the light of day; has lived here all his life, and no county, State or nation can become higher than the ideals of her citizens, the people who make and call it their home. Home is the greatest institution in the world. It is here that inspiration, ambition, lofty ideals are created and generated, and it is like wise here that these qualities are fostered and nurtured until they become vital force*, capable of influencing the life of the community, the county, the State and nation. And not only fortunate, but blessed is the county that can raise up a son or daughter who can take then places in I he world and with honor and ability become a part of it, a directing influence in the life of a State or a nation. What man or woman does not thrill with pride in the thought that a .-mn of our soil, a native of our county, a product of our own home is possessed of the requisite ability, intellect and wisdom to occupy one of the highest positions in the nation's life. Doubtless no county in the State feels greater pride than Union in her contributions to the life of the great State in which we live. Her history i entwined and intermingled with the progress ,>f South Carolina. She has a record that is stainless, a career that is honorable. Her officers have ever been men of integrity and no scandal has ever permeated her political or official life. It is a monument. I <>f honor and glory to the citizenship of Union county, and no man has contributed more for her advancement and upbuilding than T. C. Duncan of Union, and which he is deserving of some recognition, so let's show our appreciation and gratitude by electing him to the legislature by a handsome majority, and his brilliant oratory will constantly be reverberated through the legislative halls of our State in thunderous appeals for the rights of his people. ) 1 UNDER I GOVERNMENT ^SUPERVISION MEMBER BANK UNDER j EEDERAL RESERVE ACT I JEr-? j I anters Nat'l Bank Reliable" ?

The prospects for great department meetings is better than usual at this ' date. One special feature of the de- 1 partments this year will be a series of tours of inspection to institutions and plants in which teachers will be ' interested. I trust you will call the attention 1 of your entire body of teachers to , the desirability of considering this meeting in their summer plans. The summer schools of Columbia Univer- 1 sity, New York University, Hamilton College, Syracuse, Cornell, and Har- * vard have changed the dates of their openings 10 July 10, in order to ac- ' commodate teachers who desire to attend the N.
