Counts The Prosperity High School wil open Monday. Sept. 2nd. The pros pects are that we will have a bette school than ever before: that is, w shall be able to give better advan .tages. This is the first year to ou knoniedge that we have opened wit four teachers as follows: Prof. E. C Counts, Geo. D. Brown, Misses Mai carEt Leekie and Erin Kohn. The are all teachers of experience an three of this number have been wit us and we know they have given en tire satisfaction. Prof. Brown is new member ef the faculty but ha -ha coniderable experience in th D1111LS li 1' i d L v I a itionth will be free school. So, we hope every patron will take advau tage of tils and send his children on a the first day and keep them in regul arly thereafter. Another new feature will be the f industrial department. The trustees I will hardly be able to equip this de partment this year but hope to do - something along this line by degrees. s We are (-lad to see this addition. We have often wondered whether pri mary education educates. The ques tion is of prime importance when ap plied to the courses in the colletres but how much more important it is when we come to consider it as ap pled to the school where our own hoys and girls receive the founda tion insruetion and preparation for their entire educational career Where it affects ten in our colleges it affects thousands in our public schools. The courses of study in our schools should be for the masses not for the few. So, we are glad to see this step forward, as we think, in the right direction. This induistrial course will better prepare our young folks for the battles of life. This de partmen. will teach our boys and girls how to do things Instead of merely knowing things. With this , corps of teachers and the. coopera tion of every citizen and patron we will have one of the best schools in a the state. 0 4 MAJORITY FOR BOND ISSUE. b Election Held in Spartanburg on Question of Road Improvement Fund. y News and Courier. n Spartanburg, Aug. 20-The tax payers of this county have probably s voted in favor of issuing bonds in the a sum of $200,000 for macadamizing public roads. Forty-four precincts ; out of fifty-two give 957 in favor of - issuing bonds and 822 against it. The boxes that are yet to be heard from n are small, and it is not thought that r the lead in favor of the issue can be overcome. Very little interest was e taken in the election, the vote being -light in the city and county. At some of the precincts th.a polls were j not opened until after 10 o'clock. Items From Beth Eden. 0 Beth -Eden, August 22nd,' 1907. *- -The picnic here on the fifteenth 0 could hardly be called a success. A large number of people came and -brough*t well filled baskets. The hash a was nicely prepared but the rain fell in torrents from 1 until 3 co'clock. SBy that time the people were all hun gry and rather than eat in the rain, t most of them went home, carrying - their dinner and hash with them. 0 ''Some days must be dark and - dreary." Messrs. Bernard ind Herbert Car 0 lisle attended the Jamestown exposi t tion last week. They went to New York and Baltimore ' while away. fThey thought the exposition good and Lhad a pleasant trip, but Mr. Bernad was robbed, his money being taken 0 from his pocket without his knowing s it. He was lucky enough to meet a Newberry friend who kindly supplied him with cash. 5' Mrs. Erin Cofield spent several - days of last week with her daughter Mrs. S. A. Jeter. e Mr. and Mrs. William, Maybin of -~ Mobile, Ala. have been visiting at Mr. S. A. Jeters. Mr. Maybin has a e good job, connected with the electric n lights in Mobile. He has returned to l his work. Mrs. Maybin will remain I-a fewv weeks longer with her mother, h Mrs. J. E. Cofield, at Whitmires. These young people have been in Mo Sbile about two years. They like the Ycity very much but are shocked at the -number and the doctrine of the Cath Solics. -. We attended services at King's Creek Sabbath morning. Our pastor, r Rev. Ira S.. Caldwell gave us an inter esting and appropriate sermon from 3 the text ''And Lot dwelt in the plain e and pitched his tent toward Sodam," the theme of the sermon being a s warning to those who have their -country home and live in wicked ei .1 ties. It is a source of some sadness -to me as I attend different churches r in the country and find how few peo e pie can or will sing in the church. We - cannot all preach from the pulpit, but r isn 't it our duty and our privilege to L worship our maker with a song.

DISPENSARY WINSINBAMBERG Returns Incomplete, but Prohibition Forces Have Lost. News and Courier. y( Bamberg, August 20.-Although two boxes have not yet been heard rc from, it is practically certain that the C dispensary forces won in the election held in this county today to decide e, whether the county should have coun ty dspensaries or prohibition. Six of the eight boxes have been heard from, a and the vote now stands: For the dis pensary 270, against 216. The vote polled was very small, less than half the voting strength of the county. I The two boxes not yet heard from will poll from 100 to 125, and will, it is thought, favor the disepnsary by slight majorities. The vote at the various precincts already reported follows: Bamberg, for 147, against 6$; Demark, for 52, against 46; Gov an, for 14, against 31; Olar, for 35, th against 43; Farrell's, for 10, against i 22; Midway, for 12, against 6. tc STATE OF SOUTH OAROLLA, th County of Newberry. h By Frank M.
