Kive Thousands Dollar Bond Issue, Voted Unanimously for Addition to School Building. The people of the Whitmire district realize the value of a good school. The school has grown so fast during this session that more room was a necessity. I At an election on Friday an additional bond issue of five thousand dollars was voted to add four more rooms to the already handsome brick school building. This will give the district a $15,000 school building. Literary Societies.

Governor's Cousin Kobbed of $275. - Spartanburg Herald, 9th. E. B. Blease, of Xo. 40.5 East Boule-; vard, Charlotte, was robbed of $275 at the Southern railway station last night. As he was waiting for a northbound train, with a suitcase in each hand and an overcoat thrown over his arm, he was jostled by two men, whom he thought to be drunk. Upon boarding the train he found that his pocketbook, which he carried in his hip I pocket, was gone. As he had only 20 j cents besides, and his mileage book was good tor transportation only to the State line, he left the train and | notified the police of the theft. The pocketbook also contained a Richmond check for $58, on which Mr. Bleasa has stopped payment. Part of the stolen money was not his own. Mr. Bleas-e is traveling salesman for j a Wiston-Salem tobacco company. He I offers $100 reward for the conviction of the thieves. Box Social. There will be a box social at O'Xeall; school Friday ev?ning, March 14, 1913, j exercises beginning about 7.30. The proceeds from the sale of the. boxes will be given for the general j improvement of the school building, and the patrons, pupils and teachers of the school corcjjally invite all who, 1 1.

Mimnaugh has long since quit bringing goods to Newberry in small lots of two or three boxes at a time. It now takes carloads to supply the d-emand. This time he bids fair to beat all past records in selling i- - Ti ? goods to the Newoerry puonc. ui5>a: startling proposition, but everybody j who knows Mimnaugh knows that he j is equal to any emergency. When this live merchant says he is going to do a certain thing it is a safe bet that he will accomplish his purpose.

Petitions are being circulated for the election on voting a four mills tax so as to establish a rural graded school. There were representatives present from St. Paul and Union Academy districts, and portions of these districts are go ing to ask to be transferred to Jolly Street. The Jolly Street school now | has an enrolment of about fifty, and with a good and mod-ern building and a portion of St. Paul and Union Academy coming into the district, there will probably be an enrolment of seventy-five or more, and then with a suitable building three teachers could be employed, and State aid 10 the amount of three hundred dollars for maintenance secured. The people are very much interested and are determined to have a better school and better school facilities. The school this year is taught by Miss Amick and is getting along very nicely. Af tv,A mootina- rm Friday, in adtii -CXU cue V ? v , tion to County Superintendent of Education E. H. Aull, Dr. G. Y. Hunter, of Prosperity, was present and made an interesting speech, urging the people to do something, and to vote a tax to suppdrt the school. The people are aroused and a new and modern building will be put up this year and a graded school established. ADD to Jolly Street S D The Jolly Street school has already organized, and in good working order, a local improvement association. The association gave a box party at the school on Friday evening, realizing $32, which will be used in the improvement of the new building when erected. I Death Near Hope Station. Mr. J.

He was unmarried and lived with his mother. Besides his mother he is survived by two married- sisters living in the same neighborhood, and by a brother, Mr. / .J. W.

Whenever you ask a merchant In confidence, for a frank statement of his ups and downs, and more particularly his downs, he'll tell you of his inability at all times to correctly guess the worthiness for credit of those who apply for it. Credit is a good thing. It's needed, and is one of the greatest developers of this country. Without credit few men could make money. It's upon the other man's money that the successful man makes his money. To obtain credit, requires wisdom and energy. To grant credit requires investigation, who he is, where he came from, what did he owe, and his ability to pay his debts. The Merchants Credit company is establishing in this and all other counties, a system of legitimate rating, determining who pays, who is slow and who is not. The system is based upon the individual's own acts, and is to help both the buyer and seller. The time lias arrived when the man j who does not pay his bills promptly, j in thirty days, if he be a salaried man j - ill I or in early fall, if lie be a planter, win, be denied satisfactory credit. Condi-1 tions have arisen that year by year margins of profit are being cut, and the merchant who sells his ?oods, can not afford a loss. Hence th-ere must be more energetic efforts made to find out who pays and who does not. Tin'c io nnt a trust. but a credit rat-1 JL JLlJLt? ** w ? - , ing system, that tells every man's condition who has had goods charged, or who will seek to open an account. Ix>:ig credits, and dragging accounts will be done away with, and in the main our community and our people will greatly benefit therefrom. This method, eliminating loss in accounts will enable our merchants ail over the county not only to sell goods cheaper, but will educate the public fo a system for bettering their own condition.
