Work is now under full way on the
Springfield Electric Light and Power
Company plant at Dean Swamp, two
miles west of Springfield, Notwith
standing the unprecedented scarcity
of rain during the past year no ap
preciable decrease cjan ibe noticed
in the volume of water in the stream.
There is not a prettier driveway
In the State than from tbi3 place up
to these historic old mills built more
than one .hundred and twenty-five
years ago by John Jordan Combea,
and sold by him to Major Jack Fel
der, who in turn" sold them to Capt.
Jacob Stroman, whose family still
own the surrounding lands. The
mills proper having been sold to the
present owners, the Springfield Elec
tric Light and Power Company.
This plant is being erected by Mr.
Brodie, the owner and bolder of the.
Leesville plant that gel? its power
from Quattebaum Falls, near the
head waters of the Nwth Edisto
River. ,
Mr. Brodie stated to your corres
pondent that he considers this the
best stream of water he has ever
seen, and promises an abundant
power for all purposes here for many
years to come. It is the intention
of the promoters of this enterprise
that nas plenty of good honest home
moniey beihind it, to foster small
manufacturing industries . From the
confines of the town to and beyond
the mills for three mil'is in almost
one continuous cotton ?eld.
It is not a violation of any known
law for this correspondent to state
that he has never seen as much good
cotton in one body as may be seen
by making a visit as we did yester
day to the extensive farm of Col.
J. B. Stroman, just beyoad the mills,
where we found four hundred acres
of cotton planted individually by the
genial Colonel, who, according to the
best judges of the community will
make five hundred bales of cotton on
this farm, aside from the share
crops and rented farms.
It is am inspiring sight to stand in
plain viev of this ir?:niense sea of I
waving green standing from three to j
four feet high in four feet rows,
close lapped from end to end, and
heavily loaded with matured fruit,
just .beginning to open. Beyond,
and nearer the river we found the
two hundred acre corn field of Col.
Stroman. This corn is very fine and
will all be needed, as the Colonel
has more than 250 hog3 to fatten.

MAKES GOOD SHOWING
ORANGEBURG COUNTY SCHOOLS
IN FINE SHAPE.
The People Are More Generously In
terested in Good Schools Than at
Any Previous Time.
The following figures are taken
from the annual report of County Su
perintendent of Education Livingston
to the State Superintendent for the
year 191G-11. The people generally
are 'becoming; more interested in ed
ucation?they seem to realize that it
takes money to run the schools cor
rectly. They are thinking, talking
and helping along all .broad educa
tional lines.
From the great interest around,
and the funds that have bcm raised
to help build better and larger
schools, it can readily be seen that
the people of the county are awaken
ing to the fact that a good school ed
ucation Is one of the first requisites
of life. The trustees are becoming
more alive to the situation. They
are paying a higher price for teach
ers and consequently getting better
service.
Many of the schools are organ
izing Rural Improvement Associa
tions and in this way encourage bet
ter education fo r their children.
South Goodland, Four Holes, and
East Orange have each raised about
$150 for various improvements.
Out of seventy-five districts, forty
six carry special taxes for school pur
poses. During the past year the fol
lowing districts increased their spec
ial tax: East Goodland 4 mills, Eu
tawville 3 mills, Holly Hill 4 mills,
East Orange 2 mills, North 3 mills,
South Goodland 1 mill, Pine Hill 3
mills, Neeses1'3 mills, Bryan Academy
2 mills, Goodwill (No. 84) 3 mills,
West Hebron 3 mills.
The recepits for educational pur
poses during the year 1910-11 in part
are as follows: Balance on hand,
1909-10, $8,332.59; poll tax, $8,188,
3 mill tax, $29,172; dog tax, $1,
910; evecutions, $591.87; special tax
$21,980.69; total aid from County
and State, $9,555.57; total fund for
educational purposes, $79,730.72; to
tal expenditures, $71,575.45; bal
ance en hand for 1911-12, $8,155.27.
The enrollment of white pupils
during the past year amounted to 5,
247, while the negro enrollment was
9,263. The average attendance of
white pupils was 3,646; negroes, 6,
093. The value of school property
in Orangeburg county totals $149,
505. There are 159 white teachers
in the sohols of this county and 117
negro teachers.
Ten new school buildings were
commenced during the year. Four
of these have been completed and the
other six will be ready by October.
The following are the new school
buildings and cost: Oak Ridge, $1,
100; Eutawviille, $1,475; East Or
ange, $1,700; Limestone, $1,050;
South Goodland, $1,400. Two Mile
Swamp,$l,650; North Willow, $1,
550; South Providence, $720; South
Branch ville, $1,350; Cordova, $1,
850; total cost of new buildings
equipped, $13,845.
Doves Can Be Shot.
Huntsmen who confine their ap
petite to the smaller species of game
will be pleased to know that within
a few days they may sally forth into
the fields and bang away to their
heart's content?but only at one kind
of bird, the modest dove. The stat
utes of the State of South Cadolina
prohibit these birds being hunted
between March 1st and August 15th,
so after the middle of this month
hunters may 'go gunning for these
denizens of the field. The season for
hunting doves opens before the sea
son for hunting any other kind of
game.

Made a Good Talk.
Prof. J. C. Guilds, Headmaster of
the Carlisle Fitting School at Bam
berg, talked to the your.g .people of
St. Paul's Methodist Church on Sun
day morning. Every young man and
young woman in this community

eloquent young man. Such a man as
Prof. Guilds Is a positive force for
good in the lives of the young peo
ple with whom he comes in contact.
We would like to see such a man as
he is at the head of every graded
school in the State.
Edisto River Very Ixnv.
Theoldest inhabitant never saw the
Edisto river with less water in it than
at present The government engi
neers maing the survey of the river
are experiencing as low water in the
Edisto as has ever been known. It is
practically certain that the river will
never be lower than it has generally
been this summer, but Orangeburg
is expecting a favorable report by the
engineers as to the feasability of
opening the river for navigation.
To Get Latest Books.
The "six best sellers" will be at

a standing order has been placed

club, which was held with Miss May
Riggs, it was decided to bold their
second annual carnival sometime the

VERLY BADLY MIXED CASE.
The Peculiar Dilemma of an Orange
burg County Negro.
The Orangeburg correspondent of
The State says a negro of this com
munity in order to come into posses
sion of a valuable tract of land, must
plead guilty to either adultery or
bigamy, laying himself open to a
big fine or a term in the penitenti
ary. Such a case is now in litigation
in Orangeburg county and the out
come is being watobed with interest.
The negro was married in 1871.
Shortly after this marriage the con
tracting parties concluded that they
could not live together and agreed to
separate. The man was married
again as was also the woman. The
husband and wife of the parties died
and they again took unto themselves
a husband and wife. The parties
were married three times. There
were many ohKdren. The wife came
into possession of a valuable tract of
land and a short time ago died.
Her husband of 1871 now lays
claim to the land. Whether he was
married to the woman is the question
now raised. If the was married he is
guilty of bigamy, and If he was not
married he is guilty of adultery. If
the negro answers not guilty to tihe
charges of bigamy or adultery he
loses claim to the property and it
goes to the heirs of the woman.
SPRINGFIELD VICTORIOUS.
Defeat? Her Old Enemy Blackville on
the Base Ball Field
Springfield has forestalled Colum
bia by playing off the championship
game of the season with Blackville,
her old time enemy on the diamond,
and the victory belongs to Mike Glea
ton and his boys who licked the vis
itors here yesterday, "just like we
used to do," and the score was 7-1 in
favor of the local boys. It was
strictly a pitchers battle, and the
Springfield pitcher put the ball over
where the Blackville boys failed to
find it, leaving even twenty of them
at the home plate with a distressed
look on their physiognomy. Batter
ies, Springfield, "Cash" Fallow and
Bill Felder, Blackville, Dewitt and
Odom.
Blackville sent a large contingent
of her splendid men and women to
see her noble boys "lick" the "coun
trymen" at Springfield. They came
in splendid style, large touring cars,
elegantly attired; but alas for their
expectations, blasted in the begin
ning and like that concourse of peo
ple more than fifty years ago crossed
the long bridge at Washington to see
the 'blue coats" lick the sons of the
South on that sanguinary battlefield
known as "Bulls Run" their return
to their own habitation was with the
unmistakable signs written across
their 1 beforetimes smiling faces,
"we've been licked." Springfield is
"it" today.
"Boosters" and Baseball.
Holly Hill, August 1 Oth?Special:
The Orangeburg "Boosters" enliven
ed our town for awhile today. The
cars came in about mid-dav and
made quite a good showing. There
were about fouiteen cars with four
or five men to each car. These gen
tlemen were served with watermelon
and cool drinks and seemed to enjoy
their stay with us nearly as much as
we enjoyed having them. Come
again boosters, and be sure to bring
that inspiring music with you.
This afternoon a ball game was
pulled off between Elloree an l Holly
Hill. The game was an interesting
one and was witnessed by a large
crowd. Brilliant playing was in
dulged in by both sides. The score
was 8 to 3 in favor of Holly Hill.
Batteries: Elloree, Baxter and Bair;
Holly Hill, Bull, Russell and Bull.
Booster Trip Edition.
The Dorchester Eagle says: "The
Booster Trip Edition of the Onange
burg Times and Democrat on Tuesday
of this week is a creditable piece of
work on the part of the management.
The issue contains much interesting
and useful (information concerning
Orangeburg and Orangeburg county.
In this same issue appears a large
advertisement containing the an
nouncement that any business enter
prise of $5,000 or over will be ex
empt from all city taxation for a pe
riod of five years. This is quite a
contrast between Orangeburg and
some other towns. Orangeburg is
wide awake."
Young Hero Rewarded.
>Mt. Albert Appleby, of the I lolly
Hill section has just received the
bronze medal awarded him by the
Carnegie Hero commission for having
saved the life of Mrs. R. M. Harbi
son about a year ago. Young Apple
by, at the risk of his own life, sprang
in front of an engine which was al
most upon Mrs. Harbison, who was
detf. and rescued her from a horri
ble death. Mr. Appleby was awarded
the bronze medal and $2,000 to be
used for educational purposes.
Cotton Picking Time.
Cotton is said to be opening very
freely and gathering the staple will
soon be in full blast all over the
county. It may not become general
for a couple of weeks yet, but in a
very short time new cotton will be
on the market in fair quantities. The
opinion is expressed by some that
the early maturing of cotton is not
indicative ot a very Iarso crop, hut
the general impression is that this
county will gather a large crop.

Economy of Securing thefBest
It is not economy to take your child to a cheap and
inefficient teacher when an experienced and well trained
one may be secured for a slightly greater fee. If you must
have a cheap teacher, it would be better to reserve the cheap
teacher for some later period, as the most important period
of all is when your child is commencing the study of
Music. A poor teacher has wrecked many a promising
career. The best of all economy is the economy of securing
the best. If you put up with cheap things at the start, \
you will find that you will go through ali your musical
life, seeking for bargains,?bargains that are far more
expensive than you have any means of determining. Music
tuition in the North and West is far in excess of that in
the South. In the South, it runs from six to ten dollars
per month for first class instruction.
