THE HIGH SCHOOL. (
? I!
The meeting at the Court House
last night was not as well attended ?
as it might have been, but this did
, not abate the interest and enthusiasm
of those present in the enterprise.
There seemed to be a unonimity
of feling that Abbevill; needs thi? .
school and that it is our duty to get ^
it, and get it we may if we make the
proper effort.
li
We have talked about many things
in Abbeville in recent years, we have ^
made some kind of efforts to obtain
c
first this enterprise, and then an- g
other, 'tmt something has always
happened to prevent the accomplishmont
nf what xxia cnilfrVlt tn accnm.
- n
plish. d
But that need n<^ discourage us. ^
On the other hand wffshould be warn- y
ed that it takes further effort and a 0
longer and a stronger pull to get
this school than the efforts we have 0
heretofore employed. If we want the g
school, we should not undertake to S1
calculate just how much it will take
to get it and then try to raise just
that amount. Whatever amount, andjjj
however large the amount, which this t]
town may give for this school will be! c
repaid to us an hundred fold if we'j.
get it, so that the people should not s1
* be* miserly in their gifts, nor indeed t]
exacting to save as much as possible 0
in making the subscriptions. We had t]
mucti ratner otter tne Baptists a very ^
large amount and pay it and have the ^
school than to offer them ten thous-'w
and dollars less than it would take to e
get the school and as a consequence1^
lose it. e
We should not be calculating in the f
matter. We expect the Baptists, if (a
the school comes here, to give us the n
very best kind of a high school and't:
we may best show our appreciation'si
of such a school by giving all that'w
we are able to give. | h
For this reason we counsel every i
man in Abbeville who is able to give J c
a dollar to this enterprise to do so. | a
Let every man in Abbeville takejg

worth while in the drive which is to'w
be started in the next day or two.'ij
and having determined his ability to11<
give, let him give according to his
ability and to the utmost of his abil
ity. This is no time to count dollars,
and undertake to economized It is a1
time for all to put forth the last dol- *
lar. J(
It has not been so many years ago1 F
that Winthrop College was moved e]
fmm PnlnmKia tn Will A a T)r i hi
Moffatt said last night nobody real-j a
ized when the school was begun just ro
what it meant for a' town. Not even
the people in Rock Hill ever dreamed
that Winthrop would be one tenth tl
the force it now is in South aCrolina.
And so it may be with this high!
school. We all ought to know if we J
have any interest in matters of this i
kind that the demand for schools of /
this kind is growing, and that the de- 1
mand will continue to grow from year ]
to year. It will not be ten years be-' /
fore there are five times the number *
of boys in Boys' High Schools in /
South Carolina that there are today, j
that is if they are able to nnd schools ,1
to enter. The South is emancipated :
from the bonds of poverty by which
we have so long been, bound,.a.nd.thej-:
cause of education is dear to the '
people. The people in this section do':
not count the cost of the best, but
they demand the best in the way of ;
preparation for their children. We ]
shall have made that preparation and j
we shall have made, a long step for-j!
ward in the matter if we can have ;
this school established here. \
Then let every man do his duty. We,
all have obligations and some of
them are large and some pressing,' i
tut as trustees of that money and |
of the goods committed to our trust,1:'
let us do something for the public
good as well as for our selfish selves.'i

MR. DERBYSHIRE WRITER.
To the people of Abbeville?
Having had an opportunity of at:ending
the mass-meeting last night
Arhich was called for the consideration
>f the further plans for securing a
r.ilitary high school, I was greatly
mpressed by a number of things.
Opportunity, in the form of greater
means for obtaining educational
facilities, knocks at your doors. You
iave it within your powers to take
idvantage of an offer which will
>rcvc of inestimable benefit to your
own, your community, and youi
state. A group of men have been wiling
to advance a large sum of money
n order that your town may round
>ut an already well-developed spirit
>f progress. If the spirit of the citi:ens
of this town is enthusiastic
snough; if the gifts of sites for such
l proposed Baptist Military High
School are of such nature as will ulimately
convince the builders to
ome here, we shall soon see in our
nidst a force for good and for eduational
uplift that will surpass the
udgment of most of us.
The present high school by its eficiency
has attracted to its doors a
arge number of young men from
ridely scattered districts. This means
hat when the present scholastic term
loses, there will go out from our
chool a group of wide-awake young
- ?Ml 1-- 1 1J~ A KKo
ltizens wno win ue neitnuo ui numille's
progress?they will carry into
lany homes a story of what we are
oing for them, that cannot but reound
to our credit. If these same
oung men take home the good news
f the establishment of a Baptist
lilitary High School, try to conceive
f the effect that they will produce!
uch good news cannot help but reult
to our advantage.
More young men will come to ourj
igh school in order that they might
etter prepare themselves to enter I
le Military High school or to enter
allege. The mere convenience , of
aving these two good educational intitutions
in our town will make, the
ransition between the one and the
? * i _ J
ther more gradual, rarents woo sent,
tieir boys' here to the high school
rould then be enabled to send them
ere again to a more advanced school
'ithout additional inconvenience or
xpense. Boys who have liked our
jwn as high school students, will be
ager to return for another year or
wo and to renew pleasant acquaintnces
already made. Those who do
ot return to continue %eir educaion,
will have already told other deirable
young men of our town, and
rill have made them eager to come
ere and be with us. v
We have a chance?and a good
hance?to obtain this Military school
nd I sincerely trust that we will
et behind this wheel of educational
rogress with such inducements as
'ill force it to roll steadily and sure
to the wide-awake and progressive
)Wn of Abbeville.

That "Due Wejst groveled in. the
dust at defeat by the Abbeville High
football team Saturday afternoon,"
as the Abbeville Press and Banner
; says, we do not doubt, but in any
i contest involving more head work
i than foot work between Abbeville and
r Dut West, we expect to lay our mon-:
ey on Due West, though on account
of the objections to betting that are
1 rampant in Due West, we shall make
i no blowing horn of it.?The State.

1 An effort is in progress in Abbe'
ville, according to the Press and
' Banner "to secure the location of the
military school of the Baptist denomination."
The Episcopalians have
a military school in South Carolina
and another in Tennessee. Without
offering the least objection to it, is
if nnt. rather stranee that the church
es so often adopt the military feature
in the educational institutions
which they support? At the same
time, opposition tol universal military
training does not seem to diminish
among the people:?The State. ?
