The Public Schools.
The schools of the city open *
?.L1_
ed on Monday morning wnu
record enrollment. All the
teachers were on hand to commence
work. They have been
selected by the trustees after
investigation and much care,
and it is believed that they will
measure up well in comparison
with the teachers in any similar
school. The teachers in the
lower grades, where the foundation
work is done, .are of
long experience /ind they have
met with success in other
places.
In the High School there are
two new teachers,- Misses Magill
and Brooks. Both of these
V young ladies have taught in
other school^ doing similar
work to that which has been
asigned them here. In Conway
Miss Magill taught for
seven years and might have
gone back as long as she desired.
Miss Brooks taught in
a large school in Virginia with
much success. With Miss Perrin,
and the,assistance of Prof.
Cheatham, good work will be
done in the High School this
year.
In the intermediate grades
some of the teachers are recent
2rraduat.es. but. thpv p.nmp
from the several colleges with
good scholarship records. Experience
is not so important
here as in other grades. Some
of the best teachers we have
had in these grades have been
without previous teaching experience,
and we expect Misses
Tennant, Plaxco, Brice and
Dial to measure up to the
standard set by their predecessors.
Prof. Cheatham himself has
done work this summer in Columbia
University, in order to
better fit himself for his: duties
with us. He has shown
that interest in his work which
a growing school emands, and
we believe that we may expect
better things from him than in
the past, and he has given us
a good school always under his
superintendency.
But no school will succeed,
and no teacher will succeed,
without the support and cooperation
of the public, espe/ inllv

lie directly interested in the
welfare of the children in the
school. It is easy to oritioise
and find fault, and all of us are
guilty at times of these offenses.
The cause is oftentimes
in a misunderstanding
of teachers and methods.
There is nothing more important
than that the parent get
acquainted with the teacher
and the methods employed.
This not onlv assists the par
ent in having the child study
, along right lines at home but
it makes things altogether rea- j
-r*- s ~ V-/J,'....... . . X. .-L .... .
sonable which might at other
times seem unreasonable. If
the teacher makes a mistake
we should all remember that
"to err is human.'' With the
assistance of parents, fewer
mistakes willvbe made and fewer
misunderstandings will be
had.
And while we are helping
ourselves, we should help
others. In this school dis
trict we have compulsory education.
is a hardship on
some people to send their children
to school, because it takes
books, and clothes and other
necessities which everyone
cannot afford. If the teachers
in the grades and the superintendent
of the school will insert
a notice in either of the
county papers that a child, of
a certain age and sex needs
assistance of any kind, we feel
sure that it will be forthcoming.
No child in Abbeville will
be denied an education on account
of the misfortunes of
parents and guardians if the
conditions are presented v to
the public.
And as the year is just beginning
let us all put a shoulder
to the wheel and give the
vehicle a start. Let us co-operate
to build up the school along
oil linps nnd to bring about
that ,good understanding which
should' always exist between
teachers, parents and pupils.
Groggy Springs.
Almost every day we hear
someone speak of the spring
at the branch on this side of
the Haddon place, on the Due
West road, as Groggy Springs.
We have corrected the mistake
in this statement so often that
we have concluded to tell - the
public something of the real
flrnfycrv Snrine's.
U1U5B J ~L O
Groggy Springs is in the
pasture of Lucien and Martin
Ellis in front' of their residence
on the Due West road,
about eight and one-half miles
from Abbeville. Bethlehem
church, which stands at the
junction of the Due West and
Knight's Bridge roads,?is located
near the springs. When
we were some thirty-five years
yuuiigtJi man weaic uuvv, uiu
Groggy Springs church stood
just off the public road and beyond
the cemetery of the present
Bethlehem church. It was
constructed many years ago,
being built first of large logs,
and later was enlarged by having
a framed extension built
onto the first building. For
many years different pastors
from the Seceders at Due
West preached there. The
work was finally taken up by
Dr. Robert Lathan when he
was a professor in the Seminary
at Due- West, and the
present Bethlehem church is
the result of his work in the
community. Mr. W. A. Todd,
of Due West-, was a faithful
worker there too.
But going back to Groggy
Springs, when we first remember,
there was a large spring
of unusually clear and cold
water, about one hundred
yards behind the black-smith
shop of the late John Eli Ellis,
the father of the present Ellis
Tnof V>ol ATF tVlin
UlUtllClOt V UO? UV4V II
spring, in the distant past, a
distillery was operated, peach
brandy being the prevailing
product. We remember wheri
the whole bottom below the !
I
spring was a bed of peach
seeds, which had come from
the peaches which.-went into
the distillery. The enterprise
was abandoned many years
ago. Only once since we can
recollect was a distillery operated
there, and this was by H.
W. (Doc) Bowie and the late
James H. Simpson, who made
a run-of peach brandy one
summer. The distillery accounts
for the name. We have
been told by the older persons
that it was so named on account
of the fact that so many
"groggy" ' people loafed
around it when the distillery
was in operation.
The old spring is still there,
but owing to the fact that the
country has been cleared up,
and the branches ditched, it is

pecially in the days when we
rode the mules to water along
with the Ellis boys.
Nearby the spring in the old
pasture were several holes dug
in the ground, about fifteen
feet in diameter, and to a
depth of ten or twelve feet.
These were dug by prospectors
for gold, we have been
told. These stood about half
full of water when we were a
school boy, and were inhabited
I ' * ' '
by frogs which, in our imagination,
were about the size of
a man-eating shark in these
days.
