There was no ambiguity !)0ut its position then, and there mil be none now. Much as Mr. Mc aurin has disappointed expectation n some respcocts, we l ave no roerel or our action.

Here we have confession, avoidance and attack. Without a stalwart ohsmplon wo arc poorly Oil in this world. We had occasion in las- week's issue to commend the work of the Legisla ture as a whoie. Wo htill think that the Biennial resolution should have passed. It may be true that tho State Is getting out of a deep rut and mis struck a smooth road to prosperity, but economy hi 8 hi en n the past the honored rule among our public men. Again, we do not commend the di verting of the sinking fund lo building of a State House. A State House should be u thing of art and beauty and the appropriation made will .not answer the end More money will be asked. And the sinking fund was already appropriated. But it has been done. *** Abncr McKinley, a brother e>f the President, made a flying visit to the South, seeing Atlanta, Columbia and Charlotte. His impressions are re ported in a New York paper and he BHvs that Colum'da and Charlotte re minded him of "Yankee" towns. There Is such a thing as?"it goes without saying"?and Atlanta is probably in the category.

Madden, Miss Mary L. Tilts, V.x cut Ivo Committoc. Mi?. E?itou: As there scorns to he a strong sentiment prevailing in the State to better tin1 condi tion of the Bohools und a growing demand for bettor prepared teachers, pleaso allow us u few I words to tho teachers und trustees of this county . About one your ago the Lau i ens County Toachers' Association was organized. Not more perhaps tltau hull' the teachers of the c tuity have attended tho meet ings of tin' Asssciation, yot wo fool Bttro that tin' oiticiouoy of the leaching force has been increased. Useful iuformation of better methods, a more thorough un derstanding of the pr fession, u greater appreciation and lovo of tlie work intrusted to (horn are some of the rewards of those who have taken the trouble to attend. We believe that these teachors nre devoted to their work We do not doubt that the genuine public spirit which actuates them gives them no higher motive than the improvement of tin- educational facilities of tin- county and tln> proper training of its children.? Their ambition to make 1,aureus equal with the best, in tin edu cated citi/.enship is highly com mendable. In such tin effort, is it asking too much that they havo the earntst ooperatiou and help of nil th" teachers and trustees of tho county und tin- sympathy of all people We can only guess at tho progress that might he made in this direction by a united effort of till educators and school offi cers. Wo believe that, Teachers' Associations nre a part ol the edu cational system, und that duty, us well as privilege and ambi tion, enters the obligation to at tend. It certainly should he our earnest desire to improve every opportunity of increasing and strengthening our preparation and to he able to accomplish our work by menus of the most sue oessful methods. Future man hood, womanhood, statesmanship, citizenship and much more are in our hands? How art? wo shaping them? Are we doing the best we can? Are we well equipped for such a work? Have we n proper estimate of the trust imposed? Do we need greater enthusiasm? I et us work together for these ends and pull together for the up building of our people and county. May we know fully and appre ciate the fact that eduoation is a preparation not for broad-win ning, but for more abundant liv ing. I Wo hope to have at our next meeting mote of the teachers and trustees. No initiation fee is no .sary* no formal introduction. Ail you have to do is to give your presence and enroll your name and you are entitled to nl! the privileges of full membership. Let us feel tin: duty of aiding others in this work, us well ub heiter equipping ourselves. We cannot afford to stand still in this matter, for this would mean stag nation and death to progress.--* Oin own success, tho welfare of the county, people and future generations demand this of us us our reasonable sacrifice. Let. us realixo it und strive to fulfill our mission in tho best way possible. The trustees of the county uro expected to co-oporate und lend ii helping hand in tho interest of the schools, teachers and children in.der their c llicial care.
