THE MATTEjK OF EDUCATION.
The educator whose address is re
ported In another column of The In
telligencer speaks truly when he suys
that t.io one supreme tas!* before the
people of South Carolina Is an sduca
tlonal one.
Thu population of South Carolina is
Jusi as good by nature as that of any
State in tho union. We havo been as
little cITectcd by the immigration of
the past fifty yenrs as any. Our stock
for tho most part is pure and btroug
und good.
Our chief eat need is one of uni
versal education. This education to
ho accomplished ut'the. hands of good
men and women. It Is a sacrifice that
many of them make. The pay is orten
inadequate. And sometimes they hdve
4o work againat adverse conditions.
- Hut ull people who believe In the
necessity of building a greater, and
hottor civilization make sac.rllices too.
Fortunately among these tollers there
is but little complaint. They scorn to
realize tho sucredncss of their duly
to the coming goncration. Tho grati
tude they got rrom those whom they
train nnd from thoao who appreciate
their services is no mean part of their
compensations.
When all of our peoplo arc educat
ed-sufficiently to think for themselves,
' Wc shall he delivered from nn Innnra
, erablo company of evils.
Tho recent general assembly passed
a law which is good as far as it
goes. Tho timo will come, however,
when men and women will have to
do their duty in tho matter of the
cducutlon of their children whether
they want to or do. Christianity and
civilization will ?cmand H.
Ignorance in any. country is bad
enough. . Dut it Is Intolerable In a
free democratic country like ours.
Wj havo not dealt with It as wisely
and as well perhaps as we could have
done, but we hopo always for the best,
if wo die in despair. Our good old
trlcM aA brother. Josh Ashley,
statesman and philosopher, said some
years ago, speaking about whlsl jjr?
! that when he saw a snake, he would
cut his head off if he could, but.if
he could do no better he would cut his
* tall off.
The State of. South Carolina bas
about succeeded in cutting off the
tail oi tho serpent of ignorance and
someday we hope to see her cut Us
head off. >

This law is a step in tin* right direc

FNOJ'IKFK ON AIIYEKTININU.
There Is no newspaper, perhaps in
the Slate, pursuing ho Independent an
attitude iiH the Vcrkvllle Enquirer.
This newspaper never solicits adver
tising, and always carries a lino lino,
getting good rates fr/ the space used.
Seldom does this newspaper "talk
shop," and whenever it does there Is
generally something In what is said.
The following is from one of those
talks on the advertising business as
seen by Editor t?rlst:
All kinds of business are now un
dergoing a mont serious depression.
Because of this depression most peo
ple are trying to economize in every
possible way, and us a measure of
economy some are curtailing their
ndvertlslng. In some eases they are
undoubtedly right, and personally we
have no complaint. We positively do
not want anybody to advertise Hi The
Enquirer unless they think It will Re
profitable. Out this is a fact: IT this
depression is going to be permanent,
then It is no use for anybody to ad
vertise; but If It Is to bo only tempo
rary, and that, is what most of us hope
and believe, then the best thing for
the business man who expects to par
ticipate In tho better time a-coming ly
lo keep himself prominently and con
tinuously before the public. Otherwise
when the revival comes, he may wake
up to find that others have stepped In
and taken his place, and he bus been
lost in the shuffle.

SPLENDID ADDRESS

Address
-
The uieeting yesterday of the An
derson County Teachors Association,
at West Market street school, was
one of the most interesting and help
ful that bus been held in months. The
feature of the meeting was an ad
dress by Dr. E. M. Poteat, president
of Furman University, Greenville,
S. C.
The Scripture reading was^by Dr.
J. F. Vines, pastor of the First Hap
tist church, while prayer was made
by the r.oV. Mr. Garrison, pastor of
the A. R P. church. Another Inter
esting fer tin e of ' the meeting waR
a violin hoIo by Mr. R. G. Cooper,
director or the orchestra at The An
derson theatre. Mr. Cooper's talent
ie well known and appreciated
throughout the city. In spite of the
fact that he has been here but a
short while. A reading from Tenny
son's Lady Claro was given by Miss
Arnold of Wllltamston and was hlgh
lly appreciated.
Tho address by Dr.- Poteat was
masterful. In the outset he stated
that the task confronting South Car
olina today Is an educational one.
The second thought of the address
was that the State needs better
school.s or rather to improve on its
methods of teaching. The third
thought1 that tho speaker advanced
was that above all things the child is
taught it should be taught to read.
It is resretted that timo does not

News Letter
From Behon
One of the most ue-ightful social
events of the season was the party
given by Mrs. W. A. Clement on Mon
day evening for the choir of the First
llapttst church. The house was love
ly with its wealth of beautiful jon
jqulls, cluny lace over yellow and love
I pot plants.
After a short business meeting of
the choir, the guests were all asked
to line up alphabetically and Mrs. J.
T. West was given an old time blue
hack spelling book and asked to con
duct a spelling class. This furnished
a great deal of amusement, but the
spelling bee which followed furnished
even more. Miss Francis Burnes and
Louis Seel were asked to choose sides
and then the real fun began as one
after another had to sit down as the
f
words grew harder and harder?and
those who have studied the old blue
back spelling book know how hard
some of those words are.
When they had thinned down to
two on each side?Miss Margeret
Clement and Mr. L. A. Werts on Miss
Burns' side and Miss Jessie Lewis
and Mrs. J. T. West on Mr. Scel's
I side?excitement ran high for awhile.
Then Mrs. West and Miss Clement
went down and a dead silence reigned
as Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Werts spelled
away, word after word, with no
thought of missing 'til finally Mr.
Werts dropped out und Mrs. Lewis
was declared ^lie winner. Mr. West,
In behalf of the hostess, presented her
with a pot of beautiful yellow hya
cintiri as the first prize and the spell
ing book was presented to Mr. Blair
Illce, he having had to sit down flrst.
After this a most tempting salad
course, followed by mints, was serv
ed.
Miss Margeret Clement, the gifted
daughter of the hostess furnished de
lightful music during most of the
evening, which was a thoroughly
pleasant one to all present.
The guests were: Mrs. Jessie- B.
Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Cox, Mr.
and Mrs. J. T. Cox, Mr. and Mrs. J.
T. West, Misses Nannette Campbell,
Francis Burns, Mattie Vandiver and
Sadie Klrkpatrlck and "Messrs Max
Hice, Blair Bice, Lewis Seel and L. A.
Werts.
One of the most beautiful and elab
orate afternoon parties of the season
was the Rook party given by Mrs. W.
Ci Ccx at her handsome home on
on Brown avenuo
The whole lower floor of the house
was thrown open and was exquisite
in its masses of spring flower decora
tions. Violets and jonquils were ev
erywhere to be seen and their fra
grance permeated the air. Seven
tables were arranged around these
pretty rooms and 5 hand Rook* was
enjoyed by everyone.' After the
games were over a delicious salad
course was served at the end of which
Mrs. Joel T. Rice, in her ever happy
manner presented the prize, a beau
tiful basket of violets, to Mrs. John
