|ng was the source-Of much good to
our community. Rev. J. S. Graham,
of Greenville, who conducted the ser
vices, is a man filled with the spirit
of tho Lord and cannot help telling
others about it, and bis efforts are
directed forcefully to the bringing
of all sinners to Christ. His preach
ing is bound to have some effect on
nil who hear him Ile is a deep
thinker and puts the Gospel so plain
ly that a child can understand, ile
labored bard and faithfully during
this meeting, and wo feel that his
efforts will have a lasting effect for
good In our community. The faith
ful work ot our chorister, W. F
Haynes, who assisted In tho meer
ing, accounts for much of tho suc
cess of the meeting. He seems to
have a direct message from God in
his singing.
Coneross bas arranged for a nice I
salary for our pastor, and the con
gregation has unanimously called
Rev. Graham for their pastor for
next year and hope to unite and
form a Held with some other chut cb
or churches in the Reaverdam As
sociation who will cttjll the same
pastor, so that it will be possible for
him to resign his work at Green
ville and take up tho field bore, as
wo believe Mr. Graham Is needed in
our association.

Tho West Union Graded School.
Tho West Union Graded School,
now in tho second week of its new
session, is getting well under organ
ization for nine months of good
work. The 1 ?21-22 session began
Monday, Sept. 5th, with a fairly good
enrollment for tho opening week.
However, tho enrollment at present
is probably less than 80 per cent of
what may bo expected during the
session.
The school is employing four
teachers, and at present, is organized
with eight grades. It is to be boped
that this .arrangement, will enable
tho proficiency of tho school to be
greatly improved.
The principal, B. M. Smith, takes
advantage of this opportunity to urge
tho earnest co-operation of all tho
patrons. With tho splendid corps of
assistants employed, bo believes that
the success of tho school is assured,
provided the necessary co-operation
of Jhe parents can bo obtained. This
is, of course, vitally essential to tho
best school work.
The assistants this year aro Miss
Annie Fant, 4th nnd 6th grades; Mrs.
Olive Reeder, 3d ti nd 5th grades, and
Mrs. P. E. Oambrell, 1st and 2d
grades.

TH? UIOII SCHOOL IX SESSION.
Uceo ttl Attendance n All Grades
Now Ittillding Probable.
The Walhalla High School opened
this year with record attendance
from the flrst grade on up through
the eleventh. There were 418 pres
ent on the opening morning, and
since then ten moro have come, and
still are coming. Every grade is Ull
ed to capacity allowed by law, and
the prospect now ls that additional
teachers will have to b? employed
for all grades through tho fifth.
The situation seems to demand tho
starting of the new building that has
s.been contemplated for several years,
lt*X there, ; ts/not room for, anything
tees aro trying to get In shape to
start an eight-room building right
away.
All concerned are very much grat
ified over the attendance In the 11th
grade. The most sanguino expecta
tions have been exceeded. In that
grado Miss Earle's business course
is very popular, one student from the
lower part of tho county coming
here In preference to going to some
city for a business course.
Miss Strihling's normal class was j
authorised again this year by the
State authorities, and she has al
ready enrolled the largest nrfmber
In the history of tho class. 'For tho
present they will occupy the Ameri
can Legion Hall, corner Main and
Catherine streets. This will be suf
ficient notice to any desiring to at
tend to come on and got her name
on tho roll.
The conclusion seems to be that
the students are plentiful and will
ing to work; that the teachers are
hero and ready to discbarge their
part, faithfully. So lt ls d'or tho I
friends and patrons io keep behind
both and boost our school. If you
have ?i hammer, throw lt away and
get a horn. The toot of a horn may
be music, hut the knock of a ham
mer ls nothing hut noise. So let's
everybody get a horn and show what
a school we can have.
