I Lancaster, September 6.?Yes- J erday was a red letter day in the 1 istory of the progressive young \ own of Kershaw. It was the N ay set apart for the laying of the I orner-stone of Kershaw's hand- omc new school building, now earing completion.J I The stone was laid with the im- I ressive Masonic ceremony by \ he Grand Lodge of South Caro- ^ na. Mr. L. C. Harrison, cash- . zr of the Hank of Lancaster, actd as Grand Master. About one * undred Masons participated in I lie solemn exercises, and the au- 1 lience altogether numbered fif- j sen hundred persons, your cor- . espondent is informed. Mr. E. D. Blakeney, the wcllnown attorney of Kershaw, preided over the meeting, introducag the orator of the occasion, the ' Ion M. M L. Smith, Speaker of he House of Representatives, /ho made an eloquent and scholrly address. Mr. Smith's rclarks were along the lines of edcation. He deprecated the tenlency of the age toward mateialism, which is causing /the real nd true educational ideals to be ept in the background. Educa- I ion should mean something aore to a man than its value iewed from a commercial or noncy-making standpoint. Even he artists and sculptors of to-day re thinking more about what be products of their labors will >ring them in dollars and cents lian they are about immortalizing hemsclves by comtributing to the yorld lasting monuments to their genius and skill. Mr. Smith's peech was really a fine effort, nd was greatly enjoyed and apireciated by his intelligent hcarrs. It was 5 o'clock in the afterloon before the exercises of the lay were concluded. The school building, which is loatcd in the northern part of the own, ii a two-story brick strucure, costing $10,000, without :quipment. It is indeed a credit o the community and will com- ( >arc favorably with any modern , chool building in the State. A visitor to Kershaw can scar- I :ely realize that the town is only eventecn ytars old. Starting rom a barren waste of sand and crubby "black jacks," it is today >nc of the prettiest, most attrac ive and piosperous towns in the , itate. The streets are well laid ( iff and the buildings are princi>ally new and of modern architccurc. There arc thirty-five brick ( tore rooms and four brick office 1 >uildings in the town, five ihurches, three white and two :olored; an oil mill and a bank, ['he town is also equipped with ^ vater-works and electric lights. The population is about 1,500. sJo town in the State has a brigher future before it than has Ker-' haw. 1 We the unden.ign?:d Mini ^ of! : leatli Springs and the vicinity, lcreby pledge ourselves personilly and collectively that we will lot sell our cotton of the present :rop or offer for sale through any ^ igent of ours, a bale of our cot-! :on unless the bidder on said cotion agrees before hand to accept I lie weights as weighed and pre-' icnted by the public weigher at Heath Springs, Mr. A.
