More than 1,200 teachers had registered
last night as being in attendance
upon the 48th annual meeting- of the
State Teachers' association and there
were many others in the city who had
not recorded their names. More teachers
will arrive today, so that there
is every indication that the present
meeting will make a new record in attendance
and interest.
Every train coming to Columbia yesterday
had teachers among its passengers
and they were much in evidence
on the streets, in places of business
and in the residential sections
of Columbia and the cheer and encouragement
of their presence was
easily felt. They came from all rec
tions of the state?from the coast to
the mountains and they wi'l be the
quests of Columbia today and tomorrow*.
When they arrived at ?talions
yesterday they were met by reception

sessions was held in the Columbia
theater.
All Seats Taken
The teachers and their friends last
night filled the Columbia theater from
the pit to the peanut gallery. Hundreds
of them were present and all ,

Two excellent addresses were delivered
and some very enjoyable music

The meeting last night was presided
over by E. C. McCants of Anderson
and the divine blessing was invoked
by Dr. S. C. Byrd, F. W. Cappelmann,

Cappelmann assured the teachers that a
the city was theirs and that its peo- |
)le were honored in having them in
Columbia.
The response to the welcome was
nade by Dr. W. J. McGlothlin of Furnan
university, Greenville. Dr. Mc
jlothlin,after paying a tribute to the
tate Governor Cooper has maintained
for the public school system and to S
3r. J. E. Swearingen for his work, |
;aid: "We are glad we are in Colum- 8

ast legislature sat. We want to find E

vishes of teachers as regards the I
Dublic schools?we want to see that 1

"We believe we have the most im- 3
