A Gold .Medal Offered.
A gold medal will be awarded to
the county organizer of the School
Improvement Association who brings
about the most visible and practical
results during this year. I hope that
avery teacher, trustee, patron and
pupil in Oconee county will assist us
in trying to place Oconee first on the
Hat, thereby giving Mrs. Jasper Doyle
the medal, the schools the benefit of
the Improvement, and the honor of
leading In progress.
Tho more libraries we establish,
tho more special local taxe:? we vote,
the more school furniture we pur
chase and the more wo build or im
prove our old buildings, tho more
likely we 111 be to win the medal.
[ hope every district in the county
Adll Improve their schools In some,
If not in all, ot the above named
ivays.
A number of the dlstidcts havo
raised the ten dollars for a library
irery easily by having a box supper,
f will bo glad to attend any of these
meetings and bring a speaker with
me If you will let me know before the
late ls fixed definitely, so that I can
arrange for the dates not to conflict.
It has been Bald that the reading
people are destined to rule the world.
If "the pen ls mightier than the
?word" this must be true. Henry
Dlay must have believed this when he
?aid, "When I was a boy I was very
poor, and my mother was very poor,
out she was never too poor to buy
ber boy good books. To this one
thing, more than to all things else,
do I owe my success in life."

DEATH OP MRS. O. I. WALKER.
Died at Her Home in Walhalla Last
Monday After Brief Illness.
The many friends, here .and
throughout the county, of the family
of the late O. I. Walker, will regret
to learn of the death last Monday of
Mrs. Walker, which occurred at'her
home In the Walhalla Highlands.
Mrs. Walker had not been in robust
health for some time, but few know
that she was critically ill until short
ly before her death. Mahy . anxious
Inquiries were made during Sun
day and Monday, and about noon
Monday she breathed her last.
Mrs. Walker waB boin January 24,
1844, and in 1865 was happily ?tar
ried to O. I. Walker, who died at
their home at Madison on June 9,
1906. To Mr. and Mrs., Walker were
born six children, two sons and four
daughters-C. P. Waiker of Walhal
la, and Dr. C. M. Walker of West
minster; Mrs, A. Y. Davis of Toccoa,
Qa., Mrs. H. E. Rosser, of Westmin
ster, Mrs. R. C. Carter and Miss
Ruth Walker of Walhalla-all of
whom survive to mourn the death of
their mother.
Mrs. Walker was an excellent wo
man, a. thorough, consecrated Chris
tian, and will be sadly missed in
family, church and community. She
was a devout member of the Presby
terian church, and was greatly in
terested In the work of the church
in its various branches, though of
late years her active work was inter
rupted through failing health.
Her remains were taken to Tuga
loo Monday, where, In the presence
Of a large concourse of sorrowing
friends, they were gently lowered to
the grave beside her husband.
To the sorrowing relatives ls ex
tended the sympat^.v of hosts of
friends In their ber ....vement.

BIG AUCTIOI
At Westmi
WHY
About six or eight years ago WESTMINSTER was a very
small vllluge, and two or three men owned most of the proporty,
which, of course, was very cheap at that time.
Some of these men decided that to soil off some of their
property, thereby giving encouragement to others -o come, would
be expedient .or the growth of the Town. They ??id bo, and just
then the little towl started upward.
Sh0 grew, and she grew. Homes sprang up, buninccs houses
were added, and enterprises of difforont kinds. started, r.nd to
day we doubt if there ls a town In tho whole State of South Caro
lina that can show such a marvelous and substantial growth in
the past six or eight years as the
Town of Westminster,
which has sprung from a small town of three or four hundred
to a growing and prospering city of nearly three thousand souls,
with sounds of rushing business on every hand, the roaring of
the big Cotton Mills, the hum of the busy Oil Mill, the buzz of the
Knitting Mills, the whirr of the Shuttle Mills, tho songs of the
Irianlng Mills, the chimen of whistles, the clash of the hurrying
teams, the click of the opening bank vaults, the call of the big
school bell-all speak success and progress.
NOW ?
The demand ls for more '.esldencos, more business houses.
People are wanting to come ia and Bhare the benefits and pros
perity of this town and he accessible to one of the best schools In
the State, as WESTMINSTER has a large and beautiful brick
school b\illdlng, woll equipped; and a corps of teachers that can
not bo excelled In tho South.
