Tha following article on composi

read by on« of the bright Lowndes
county teachear before th* teacher's
meeting here last Saturday.

weave tacts together by the aid of

thought under consideration.
The training should begin eerly

It Is said that this Is tb« most
democratic kind of battle-cry to be
found. It may be democratic, but
how dolorous. There is a note of
abjectness, of despair and apology
running through the whole flvs
verses.
And then, too, Is the dawg to re-
erratic Both have a bad case of the donke * ** the P» rt Y •“*
Exaggerated Ego arid neither of
them i-ires a thrlp about party vic

Bryan, by the help of Just wuch
states aa are represented In the ap
peal to Roosevelt to get In the race,
hee been the undoing of the Demo
cratic party. He has alwtye bed
enough Influence to defeat any good
man who might run, after hav
ing been three times defeated hlm
aelf.
If the Democrats can get rid ot
Bryan this year they have the beet
chance tney have had In years to
win a victory. We do not believe
that a candidate who stands tor sileh
tom-foolery aa the “initiative, ref
erendum and recall,” or other popu
listic heresies,'Is the man to nomi
nate. And we do not believe that

made It hie own by expressing It In
clear, concise sentences. This le free
expression. I fear wa spend too much
time In collecting and selecting ma
terial, and too HUIe time In assimi

In primary work the most careful
attention should bo given to the on-
eourageenen*. of a free expression of
co-uragement of a free expression of
thought In the child. Too much
strew cannot be laid here, for It la In
this grade that we lay the fondna-
tlnn, for often In the primary grade
la the selection of a subject which
will appeal to the Interest of little
children.
The flint requisite ef a good story
le Intercut. To moke astory Inter
cstlng the writer must first be Inter,
ested In it hlmaelf; next he must
make It real to hie readers. He
should then choose a subject on
which he has something to aay. eith
er a real adventure or an Imaginary
one, ibut at any rate one that la alive
In his mind.
After selecting hie subject let ev
ery pupil plan .carefully what he win
tell. There are three essential points
to be considered: First, a climax near
the close to which evewthtagleada.
Second, nothing ne^MMSfeiuke
the climax effective offltied..
Third, we must Include nothing
that distracts attention from the
main thread of the story.
After the story le planned It must
be written with care In my own ex

A report reached Valdosta today
of the escape of three negro con
vict* from tho Berrien county chain-
gang last night Tho gang was work

locked up ss usual In the wagon
cage et the close ot the day. It ta
raid that they secured e piece ot
Steel hi some manner from which
thiy hag made a ea* and noon saw
ed their way to liberty.
The latest Information today ta
that neither of the men had been
raptured. Their names were not
learned, bnt the home of one of
them Is said to be In Vnldoeta, the
other In Nashville and the other In
Jacksonville. The authorities ere
et n loss to know where they got
the piece of steel from which they
mad* th* saw.
