Sllen Hendrix and Miss Pearle Clarke.
The regular program was carried
out and all joined in singing the inspiring
hymn, "Work for the Night is
; Coming." Hiss Bath Efird recited
"Nettie's Thanksgiving" with such
aatural grace of maner that the audience
was given a perfect word picture
#f little Nettie's trials in striking contrast
to her dear old grandmother's
vexations. At the conclusion of this
recitation Miss Efird gave Tennison's
"Rnwlo with anr?hi nArfflnt, aba 11

H. L. Harm an, connty superintendent,
of education spoke on the
outlook of the public schools, contrasting
the |8,000 expenditure for
schools in Lexington county 25 year's
ago, against the past year's expenditures
of $40,000; $10 to $40 per month
.v for teachers against $80 to $125 at
present; eight to ten weeks' session
against three to nine months' now.
Lexington county has five high schools

teachers of the past twenty-five years
by crediting the present progressive
movement to the high ideals they
ttogM.

talked on the needs of county
schools. She emphasized the need of
thoroughly emciew ana con seem tea
teachers, whether self instructed or J
with normal training who know how
to not only seeing bat also seizing
every opportunity for bettering the
conditions of the committees which
^ they serve. With snch teachers in
charge the other needs of longer terms,
better houses and equipment, better
salaries will naturally follow.
Prof. Cyras L. Sbealy was asked to
teU aboat the organization of classes
to study our State and also the respective
counties. He told that the -e
study classes at th8 University ha3 ic
cently found that each individual contributes

State's prosperity.

Auditor Dent Makes Report
IS&F Auditor W. D. Dent sent his com- j
j>leted abstract of the taxable property
in the county to Comtroller General
j .Jones last week. Mr. Dent is the
first of the county auditors in the
commonwealth to file his epitome with
the State officials. Notwithstanding
the fact that the Dutch Fork, a large
r and fertile portion of the county, has
i been cut off to Richland, the abridgment
shows that our lands are gradually
enhancing in value.
The total amount of taxable valuation
amounts to 85.377.959. The total
taxes to be collected as per the abstract
will amount to $122,394 08, the
distribution to be as followers:
State, $30,923.26; county, $32,267.76;
bridges, $8,066 93: roads, $10,755.92;
school bonds, $5,932.90; 3 mills constitutional,
$16,133.83; special 1-2 mill,
? $2,688.98; special school, $7,822 95;

6 Dispensaries For Lexington,
The comity is to have six dispensaries
according to a decision of the
Lexington county dispensary board,
comprised of Messrs. G. A. Goodwin,
chairman; George H. Koon and Walter
F. Hook, located at Lexington,
Brookland, Swansea, Peak, Gilbert
and Batesburg. Manly P. George was
appointed dispenser at Lexington;
Samuel O. Derrick, Brookland; John
J. Reeder, Swansea; L. Mangus
Shealy, Peak; Cline J. Taylor, Gilbert,
and Augustus H. Blease, Batesburg.
The action of the board today means
that Baesburg, which has been a
"dry" town, legally speaking, for
many years, will have a dispensary,
despite the strong protestation of a
number of prominent people of that
progressive town. Leesville, just two
miles distant from Batesburg, will not
have a dispensary at this time, it is
said, although it is probable that the
board may see fit to establish a dispensary
in that town a little later.
Eczema and itching Cured
The soothing, healing medication in
i>k. hobson's eczema ointment penetrates
every tiny pore of the skin,
clears it of all impurities?stops itching
instantly. Dr. Hobson's Eczema
Ointment is guaranteed to speedily
heal eczema, rashes, ringworm, tetter
and other unsightlv eruptions. Eczema
Ointment is a doctor's prescription.

Good Paint
is cheap; and Devoe is not the only
good paint; it is one of a dozen; and,
very likely, the only one in vour town
?there are hundreds of middling and
bad.
Yon can see what chance there is of
another good one there: perhaps one
in ten at the most.
Bad paint is dearest; middling is
dear; costs 2 or 3 times as much as the
best.
No matter about the cost a gallon
that isn't it; the cost a square foot;
the ccst a job; better yet, the cost a
year.
There's a whole education in paint in
