The Walhalla Graded Schools.
.) At the' meeting of the Graded I
School trustees last Friday Prof. J.
L. Kennedy was re-elected superin
tendent, as was each of the teachers,
except Misses Stewart and Ansel,
who tendered their resignations. Miss
Bessie K. Crooks, of Newberry, a
graduate of Mont Amoena Female
Seminary, was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by Miss Stewart's res
ignation, and Miss Mamie Harrison,
of Walhalla, was elected to Bucceed
Miss Ansel. The faculty for the
coming session will be as follows:
Prof. J. L. Kennedy, superintend
ent, 9th and 10th grades.
Miss Kate Steck. 7th and 8th.
Miss Bessie Crooks, 5th and 6th.
Miss Mary Lay, 3d and 4th.

school.
The past session has been a very
satisfactory one, and the trustees
are greatly encouraged with the
prospects for the future. The fac
ulty is composed of competent and
careful teachers who perform well
their duties, and the board of trus
toes, composed of E. L. Herndon,
Esq., C. W. Pitchford and W. M.
Brown, ls deeply Interested in the
welfare and success of the school.
Plans are being perfected by which
the heating arrangement of the school
building, which has been unsatisfac
tory, will be thoroughly overhauled
before the beginning of the next ses
sion. This will add greatly to the
comfort of teachers and pupils.
The board of trustees also decided
on erecting a new building for the
colored school. This will be located
on the lot owned by the district,
which fronts on Church street. The
old house ls In bad repair and entire
ly inadequate for school purposes.

Rows nt Salem Sunday.
Last Sunday there was a big gath
ering at Salem from all parts of Oco
nee, the occasion being the "annual
foot-washing." The congr?gation
was little* disturbed and the crowd
there orderly, but on the outside
two parties, J. D. Eowors and Frank
Oliver renewed an old quarrel. Bow
ors was shot three times, once In the
thigh, once in the ?Ide and once In
the head. The shooting was done by
Oliver, who escaped. Mr. Bowers,
wo are Informed, is not seriously
hurt. No particulars were given ex
cept the above, and that the trouble
grew out of a renewal of an old
grudge. Oliver escaped.
Another row was kicked up by two
parlies, Riemann Stancll and Kuht
mann Green in which Stancll had his
clothes badly torn-In fact, almost
completely torn from his body. Np
I attest has been made as yet.
THE GRADED 80*100X8 CLOSE.
Hon. C. C. Featherstone, of Lauren?,
Delivered un Excellent Address.
Last Friday evei.mg at 8.30 o'clock
the session of 1907-08 of our graded
school came to a close. From many
standpoints lt has been a hard term,
but .as a whole it has been very suc
cessful. The teachers have perform
ed1 their duties faithfully and con
scientiously. The children, too, have
responded readily to the variour calls
that have been made to them; so
that, with all their hindrances, some
good work has been done. Our school
is one of the best equipped in the
county, aud the only thing we need
now is for our patrons to take a lit
tle more lively interest in its affairs.
Let's take that Interest in it and .the
teachers that will allow us to say
"our school" and not "the school."
The teachers must have the hearty
co-operation and support of the pa
trons else the children soon lose in
terest, and when that is done the
work of the teacher becomes an un
welcome burden.
At the opening of the exercises
Prof. Kennedy gave a brief, but com
prehensive review of the year's work,
and stated the reasons why it was
deemed best not to attempt anything
in the nature of an elaborate com
mencement this year. Instead of the
usual exercises by the pupils a dis
tinguished speaker was invited to ad
dress them upon some timely topic.
Wi.de C. Hughs, Esq., in a few
well chosen and appropriate remarks,
embracing some timely thoughts on
"Opportunity," Introduced the Hon.
C. C. Featherstone, of Laurens, as
the orator of the evening. Mr. Fea
therstone said that he was so accus
tomed to speaking on prohibit lon that
he was afraid he would drift lhto
that before he had finished. His
theme was "Government-Individ
ual, Family, State." He discussed it
in a masterly manner, showing that
government begins in the individual,
and that since the State is made up
of individuals, its government can be
no higher than the ideals of Its citi
zens. Then he urged the necessity
of sentimentality in order to inspire
high ideals, and pointed out the fact
that on account of the growing disre
gard of the Bible as a text book and
one of the pieces of standard litera
ture In the home, the home govern
ment ls growing more lax every day.
With the Bible as a guide good citi
zenship and Christian people would
be a natural result because In lt can
be found literature to flt every condi
tion.
He lamented the fact that on ac
count of the conditions statod we, as
a nation, have lost sight of the lofty
sentiments that, should characterize
us, and have become a nation of
money grabbers and coinmerclaltstB.
In concluding he Impressed the
fact that he would not have us be
Idealists, but that we could use ideal
principles for practical purposes and
still retain our Identity.
After the address, in the absence
of Mr. Herndon, the chairman of the
board, on account of sickness, Prof.
Kennedy delivered the diplomas to
the two graduates, Misses Lola Katif
niann and Ethel Angel. The records
made by these young ladies are very
creditable In all respects, but espe
cially lu attendance. Miss Kaufmann
has a record of six years without a
single absence or tardy mark, and
Miss Angel's is almost as good.
With the delivery of the diplomas
the exercises were announced closed,
aud the large audience that had
gathered In the court room went
away feeling that the speaker had
told them something worth remem
bering and with a greater determi
nation to increase the number of the
next graduating class If possible.
Bad Attack of Dysentery Cured.
"An honored citizen of this town
was suffering from a severe attack
I of dysentery. He told a friend lt he
could obtain a bottle of Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy he felt confident of being
cured, he having used this remedy
In the West. He was told that I
kept li In stock and lost no time In
obtaining it, and was promptly
cured," says M. J. Leach, druggist,
of Wolcott, Vt. For sale by Ji W.
