D.WHEATLEY There ii a gentleman in Amerlcus with whom It is a veritable pleasure to spend an hour. This gentleman Is Mr. T. L. Rose of Georgians, Ala., who is a guest at the residence of Mr. J. J. Williford, on Taylor atret. Mr. Rose for a long time held a respon sible position with the L. & N. road. During that time he became associated with Mr. Charles S. Adams, train dis patcher of the S., A. & M. road, whom he is here to visit. Some time ago Mr. Rose made up his mind to make an ex tended trip through Europe and the holy lands. He is now on his way home from that country, where be spent five months. Those who were at the Bap tist tabernacle Sunday night will re member the entertaining talk which he gave on that occasion. Last night a reporter called on him at Mr. Williford’s and took a look Bt the splendid collection of view* which he gathered In the holy land. The collec tion is by far the largest and most valua ble ever seen here. He covered in his itineracy every portion of the country about Jerusalem, where tho scenes of the Bible are laid, and ho brought back with him pictures of the ruins of all the ancient cities, pictures of the spot where Christ was born, pictures of the spot where the Savior stood in the temple when questioned by the wise men, pict ures of the building in which Pilate held the court which condemned Him to cru cifixion, pictures of Golgotha showing what is elaimed to .bo the spot where the cross stood, pictures of the tomb where the body rested for three days and pictures of many other places named in the Book. Of course the buildings have been changed but Mr. Bose pointed out something in the pic tures that he said is claimed to be apart of the buildings as they existed in the time of Christ. He has likenesses of mummies, the pyramids, famous build ings, rivers that are known by all who know anything of the Bible, ruins of cities, the sphinx, obelisks, places named in biblical history, likenesses of people, of modern cities aad hundreds of pictures equally as interesting. With each of them he can give a fuller expla nation than could ntany people if they have traveled the eountry five years In stead of five mouths. The country about Jerusalem and those other places which were once of such importance, according to Mr. Rose Is barren and desolate. Many of the people are.ln abject poverty and there la no reckoning the misery they suffer. While there Mr. Rose saw people who had walked thirty or forty miles with two or three chickens or a bundle of goats hair to sell. Ha says that a man is often seen plowing a donkey an<T a camel yoked together. The women do most of the work on $he roads and in somo places on tho streets in the towns, and they havo some splendid roads there. He exhibited several pictures of tho native wpmon with their faces bid beneath a heavy veil. Ills party was in vited to attend an Egyptian marriage, blch 1 o describes interestingly, telling how ‘lie bride is given an urn so she can go at once to bringing water. The pool of Siloam. Mr. Rose says, is now used for a depository for the refuse of Jerusalem, while the gardens around Solomon’s temple are trash heaps Mr. Rose brought with him some burrs from the cedars *>f Lebanon and many other things .of interest, among them patterns of Kgynthui plows anil mills. The latter are almost invariably operated by two women, who take the part which stedra or water takes in this couutry. The gentleman reports that thb Jews arc fast going hack to Jerusalem, and that thoufcnds of them have settled just out the wall. He told of many other interesting things, and what was learned from him and his pictures in an hour could not be told in a volume. When he was passing through London on his return home he met Parnell, Dr. Joseph Parker, Cannon Farrer, Spurgeon, Burns tho Irish leader and other notables. He says Parnell didn’t tell him, however, that he was going to marry. Dr. Parker inquired about Grady, and expressed himself as believing that tho southern states con tained the oratorinif tho world. During the trip Mr. Rose acted as special correspondent for the Mobile Register. He will probably leave for his homo to-day at noon. The Council Meeting. The city coancll held its regular week ly meeting yesterday, Nothing of Inter est was done. The finance committee It expected to make an .Interesting report at the next ccnncil meeting. For Wife Whipping.. John Code, colored, was before Jndge Pilsbury yesterday for wife whipping. He was given tlx months or $30. Ho paid tho fine and went his way rejoicing. CAUGHT IN CORDELE.

J THEY COME AND GO. THE BALL 8ET ROLLING THAT AS SURES ONE FOR SUMTER. AH Teachers Will be Paid For Every Day They Attend the Sessions—A Preparatory Meeting That Was Perfectly Harmonious Held at the Court Boon Yesterday. Sumter county it going to have teacher's Institute from which some of the more preotentious Institutes can ob tain some pointers. The preliminary steps were taken yes terday, when in response to a call issued by County School Commissioner W. Moore a large proportion of the white teachers of the county met at the court house for the purpose of perfecting such an organization. The meeting was a thoroughly harmonious one, and the benefit of It will certainly be felt An organization known os the Sumter County Teachers Association was per fected with temporary officers presiding, after which these permanent officers were elected: W S. Moore, president. Mrs. E. L. Guthrie, secretary. The object of the organization is the Improvement of the coiinty teachers and county schools. When be took the chair President Mooro asked the best way to seoure the attendance of all teachers. Supt. A. J. M. BIzlen of the Amerlcus public schools was asked for his opinion on this question, which he gave os follows: ‘The teachers In the rural districta are as a class a pcoplo of very scanty means. Some of them may now be teaching school. But, although they are now either employed or without money all, or nearly all, of these teach ers will attend these institutes If It is made to appear to their Interest to at tend. Right now the most effective way to secure their attendance is to allow the county teachers the pay of one day for every day spent In the Institute.” This opinion was favorably consid ered by the mooting of teachers, and the county board of education at a meeting following passed resolutions substan tially the same. So Sumter county teachers are to be paid for what time they. attend . the Institute. That Is a plan which strikes all who consider It as muoh better than to Invite them to pay »large portion of their meager earnings to attend the Institute. A-commlttee consisting of Superin tendent A. J. M. BIzlen and Prof. J. F. Nelson, with one member to be added, was appointed by the president to pre pare tbe institute work, and assign tasks to be done by the teachers during the Institute mietlngs. There will be anotbor meeting of tbe tenohers at the Jackson street sohool house at Ojo’clock on the morning of July 18, to still fur ther perfect plans. At that meeting the time for »week’s session of the in stitute wlll'be given onL The colored teachers will meet at a later day to effect arrangements for their institifte. | It is proposed by those who have them in charge to make theso Institutes of much Interest and benefit to tho teachers of Sumter county. Some splendid addresses and talks are to be made and it is probable that the state- school commissioners and others who are prominently and actively interested In school work may bo present during tlio week that tho institute is in session, ) mako speeches. ..Sumter county has set the lead in that sho will pay the. teachers while attending tho institute, ft is nu example thatmay well bo followed.
