Oo re a ver y chaste address of wel-
tbn *• 118 ■^ e8 ' , °tatlon, in behalf of
Citizens and municipal authorities,
bv i>* a,) P ro P rittte response was made
;’ b0 R "- D '- S -a-Billy.., of Forsyth,
the t I"r the President and
o f ,M 0 3 ° C ‘ alion - ex pressed the thanks
ody for the cordial welcome to
this beautiful city of Rome. He allud
ed, in the most glowing terms to the
name of the city as so fu'l of classical
associations. Passing by the indus'rieB
of the city, and their important bear
ings on its prosperity, he dwelt
at length on the institutions of
learning, whioh are the pride of the
people. As the Etowah and Oostanau-
la rivers, by their confluence, make the
li.vely Coosa, so the two institutions,
the Rome Female College and the Shor
ter College, should labor together to
send a stream of refining, educating in
fluence through society. Mention was
made also of the other schools of the
city, and in conclusion he spoke of the
Georgia Teachers Association and of the
practical benefit accruing, not only to
its members, but to the communities
visited at its annual conventions.
In a short synopsis like this, and
without a stenographic reporter, it is
impossible to convey an idea oi the
Oeauty and eloquence of these address
es.
The committee on membership re
ported a good liBt of names which were,
on motion, duly placed on the roll of
members.
After one or two announcements by
the Secretary, President S. P, Sanford
delivered the usual inaugural address.
It was a very practical discussion of
some of the leading educational ques
tions of the day.
At its closo, Prof. Ivy W. Duggan, of
Saudersville, was introduced, and he
read an excellent paper on the subject:
“The Teacher; His Duties, Responsibil
ities and Rewards.”
The paper abounded in good points
well put and interspersed with humor
ous and spicy allusions, It was highly
appreciated by those who listeneed to
On motion of S G Brinkley, the dis
cussion of the paper was deferred to the
afternoon session.
The Association then took an inter
mission for the noon repast.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Association re-assembled at three
o’clock.
The following new names were re
ported:
Rev. J M M Caldwell, President
Rome Female College; Mrs. C E Cald
well, Rome Female College; S C Cald
well, Professor Rome Female College.
Rev. R D Mallary, A. M., President
Shorter College; Rev. G A Nuonally,
A M, Prof. Carl Hiutz, Miss L E Left
wich, Mrs. H C Cooper, Miss lone New

Prof. A B Niles, President Female
College, Griffin.
Ivy W Duggan, High School, San-
dersville.
J C Lynes, President Fern ile College,
Marietta.
W J Noyes, High School, Cedartown.

ville.
J S Barfield, High School, Macon.
J W Frederick, High School, Mar
shall ville.
\V II Baker, Superintendent High
School, Savannah; Miss Eugene Estelle,
Public High School, Savannah.
Discussion of Prof. Dugganp’ paper
was first in order.
On motion of the Secretary, the
speakers in discussion were limited to
ten minutes each.
The Secretary rose to say that the pa-
ber of Mr. Duggan certainly deserves
some discussion.
The reward which teachers obtain for
their laborious service is too meagre,
Many teachere sufler because they are
not sufficiently compensated for their not true '
work. It is not always indifference that
keeps teachers away from these conven
tions, but it is as much the want of
means. The Convention, he said should
give some deliverance on this subject.
The President stated that Mrs M W
Villi pegue the next essayist on the pro
gramme, was prevented from attending
the Convention, hut that her paper
would be read by Mr Barfield, Princi
pal of North Macon Grammar School,
The paper was commended by Pro
fessor A. B. Niles, who gave his plan
of procedure in teaching the subject
of composition, which he said had pro
ved successful, Mr. E. G. Moore also
endorsed the suggestions of the essayist
and the speaker but would go futher
back than Professor Niles, and begin
with young children, teaching them to
express, in the simplest language, their
own thoughts. He too wold make com
position a daily exercise.
Dr. 8. G. Hillyer elaborated the dim
culticB pertaining to this study especial
ly in correcting tho exercises though
it should begin early and Bhouid be
preceded and accompanied by lessons in
oral composition. There were great vir
tue and importance in extempore re
production of thoughts obtained from
reading.
Illustrated his views by a pratical ex
ample.
He required a composition every week
after a careful analysis.
The subject deserved the deep consid
eration of every teacher, but each must
use hiB own plan; closed by proposing,
as a questions german to the subject, the
query, “How shall we secure originality
in composition for commencement oc
casions.”
Supt W H Baker suggested that the
remedy for the dfficulty would be not
to have any such conmmencement ex
ercises.
Said that it was natural that young
children should seek aid when required
to wrile compositions on subjects about
which they could know but little or
nothing. It wss mortifying to pupils,
to parents and to teachers when pupils
were required to write and read their
own compositions; said it destroyed
tho modesty of young girls to appear
in public on such occasions, and this
was an additional reason for applying
the remedy suggested.
Rev G A Nunnally opposed strenu
ously the vkws of the last speaker.
Girls of sixteen could produce as cred
itable compositions as young men of
twenty-one. It does not destroy the
modesty of girls 10 appear upon the
rostrum.
Rev R D Mallary said that if the
teachers were honeBt and faithful the
composi ions would be original.
Prof J C Lynes gave .an outline of
his plan in teaching composition.
The Committee on Membership re
ported additional. nameB, which were
on motion duly enrolled.
The Chairman nlso proposed the fol
lowing names of teachere from Alabama
as corresponding members, and by a
unanimous vote these were placed on
the roll as such, viz.:
G B Russell, County Superintendent
Public Schools, Calhoun county, Ala;
S L Russell, Guylesville High Sohool;
\V J Borden, Jacksonville, Ala.
Prof John H Fitten, of Adairsville,
road an admirable paper on the subject
“ Why so Frw of Our Young Men Com
plete a College Course.”
Oa motion of J S Barfied, discussion
of this paper was postponed until the
morning hour.

ing committee on nominations was ap

Judge Spofford’s Case.
The argument in the Spofford-Kel
legg case has been concluded, and the
question submitted to the committee
for decision. The statement published
by the Republican papers that the con
testant is h- re with the same old case is
not true. In faot all the publications,
so far, in regard to this matter, have
been misrepresentations. In the lir.-t
place Judge Spofford does not ask that
Kellogg be turned out and he be seated.
His memorial sets forth, that since the
seating of Kellogg he has discovered
new aud important testimony, and he
prays permission to lay it before the
committee. In his arguments he as
serted that he could furnish conclusive
proof that Kellogg bribed a number of
members of the Legislature, and he
bought their votes and paid the money
personally. The case Judge Spofford
alleges he can establish is, that certain
members were bribed in order to make
a quorum for Kellogg, and that de
ducing the number of members who
were paid for their votes, it would leave
Kellogg short of the quorum he assum
ed to have. All he uaks is that this
new testimony bo taken. Kellogg de
nied the oharge of bribery, but stoutly
opposed any inves igation. He main
tains that even if*he hai been guilty of
bribery, tho vote of the Senate admit
ting him purged him of all the guilt.
He also denied having ever Btated to
anybody that there was anything wrong
in the way Judge Spofford procured his
election. The contestant wants the
Senate first to take the new testimony,
and, if tbe oharge of bribery is sustain-
, pd, then ho will ask to bo seated.
