PINE GROVE GRADED SCHOOL. Closing Exercises --Congressman Norton and Others Speak-Honor Roll. Those who are constantiv croaking about the amount of money expended in education should have gone to Pine Grove with us last Wednesday and there. thev would have received such a practical demonstration of what educa tion has done and is doing. that the few paltry cents they pay in taxes would not be so grudgingly handed over. The occasion was the closing exer eises of the Pine Grove Graded School, the pioneer graded school of the county, twenty-five miles from the court house, in a section heretofore regarded crude and undcveloped. A few public-spirited men awoke to the necessity of educat ing the masses. and by incessant efforts succeeded in having established a .raded school. Those who traveled through that section ten yers ago and who travel it now can appreciate and realize the wonderful progress made by these peo ple: how the crudeness of the past has hcen softened into refinement. and how uneouthness and indifference has been changed into culture and progress.: Everywhere you go in that section can he diseovered the refining influences of education, in the building of dwellings,. churches and school-houses, manners. customs and dress. About the only thing we saw which was not changed was the hospitality and warm-hearted attention to strangers: this character istic of Salem people is -bred in the bone," and education. fashions and ci toms will never change it. The crops from Manning to Pine Grove are somewhat backward with few exceptions. Tobacco in spots -s good. especially that. portion of Mrs. M. R. Shannon's which can be seen from the road. "'Squire" Fleming and W. J. Turbeville have brag patches close to the road. but there are others who claim even better tobacco than those we have mentioned. Cotton, corn, oats and wheat are in fairly good condition. We arrived at the hospitable home of. our host. Mr. W. J. Turbeville, about dark. and as we drove up there came out to meet us a drove of candidates who were so smiling and clever that it was with difficulty that they persuaded us to permit them to take out our horse and carry our baggage into the house. These fellows were so persist ent in their attentions that it would not have surprised us had we been asked to allow them to polish onr shoes. they', seemed so anxious to do something. but when we saw they were doing every-, body else the same way we came to the conclusion their cleverness was only a temporary affair. and that when the primary was over they would resume their old time --don't-give-a-durn-for vou-manners. ' Professor McLaurin and Miss Laven der had a very elaborate program and when we reached the school-house.in an instant we saw that a good time was in store for everybody, if the lowering clouds which were hanging black and heavy overhead would permit. The piazza of the school-house was con verted into a stage, the sides were closed in with cloth and the front was tastily draped: everywhere was deco rated with flowers and green. "Wel come' was a conspicuous sign on the background. This was unnecessary, as the actions of the people spoke more fervently than did the pretty .letters of --living green.' Three mottoes were interwoven on the drapery in front, "Patience. Self-Reliance and Perse verance." The stage presented a unique appearance, the audience sat in the openf air. The children were beau tifully dressed and the manner in which they 'performed their parts was indeed creditable not only to them but to their teachers, who must have devoted much patience and perseverance in training themi. Dialogues, recitations, declama tions and music was the program car ried out and it would be doing an in justice to tundertake to make special inention of any one. for they all did well. The evening was an enjoyable one. with the exception of some inter ruptions of short duration caused by a passing shower. but the crowd of about: 500 put up with the slight annoyance. good humoredly. At the close of the evening's exer cises Professor McLaurin announced the p)resence of Congressman James Norton who had come from Washing ton to be with them and would deliver the address the next day. and Senator Appelt who would also give them a talk. Thursday about 10 o'clock the crowd began gat'hering, candidates very con - spicuous, shaking hands here and there and on our way to the grounds we saw a man with a baby in his arms, with a candidate for sheriff begging him to let him carry it: one of his opponents was a short distance off with his eye on an other baby in a ladv's arms. and mak ing ready'to grab it if the other fellow was given the baby to carry. As it was, he got a chance to pick up a bun dle the lady with the baby dropped.and carried it until the lady wanted to take the child away from the noise -:o put it to sleep (that was her excuse), then he gave up the bundle, lifted his hat and walked off in an opposite direction, wondering if anybody saw him with that bundle. After going through with another program consisting of dialogues, music, recitations. etc., Professor McLaurmn announced that the school exercises were at an end, and that the address would be delivered in the church, a beautiful edifice with a seating capacity of about 500 and modern in its apposnt ments. Congressman Norton. Senator Appelt. County Superintendent Wells and Rev. Whittaker were decorated with the colors of the school-blue and yellow, and escorted into the church by handsome ushers who wore sashes of blue and yellow. The exercises began with a beautiful and appropriate prayer by Rev. Whittaker, and then Professor 31eLaurin introduced Senator Appelt as the first speaker. Mr. Appelt. in consideration of the fact that Mr. Norton had come a long distance to address the school, made his speech briefer than he otherwise would have done. He. however, took occa sion to allude in gratifying terms to the progess the people of Salem were making on educational and agricultural lines and urged them to keep up the good work so happily and profitably be gun. He made about a ten minutes speech and then in fitting language in Itroduced Hon. James Norton. The ad dress of Mr. Norton was not only well delivered, but it was of a kind which is bound to make a lasting impression. M. Norton was at his best, and al 1though not what might be termed a -flowery orator. he framed his sentences Swell and sent them forth in such a man ner that the yotungest school child un derstood him and the older ones were inrssed with his sound andl practical ieas. There was nothing of the tink ling-silver-bell style of orator~y about Sthe address, but it was good, whole some. sound, practical. reasoning and Iadvice. We regret exceedingly that Swe are not prepared to give this ad Sdress in full, as it is worthy of a place pin the archives of the school. -Mr. Norton said, in part, after refer Sring pleasantly to the complimentary .introdution by Senator Appelt: "Coming as I do fresh from the arena where political contentions and parti stn strifes occupy the time and thoughts of men I must be pardoned if .I am not altogether logical in the pre - sentation of the subject, not having had . time frspecial preparation for the occasion. Be that as it may, I come among you gladly with full sympathy - with thie success and progress of the - ot excellent work in hand and come wiith wior ds of good cheer and encour - agem ient. r -I have witness.ed with pride and Y lleasr~e the exercises of the school and -am assured of the efficient work of youi ecorps of teachers under the excellent management of your board of trustees. the board of trustees and the commu nity for the conditions and bright pros pects. .If there is one subject more than another which is of paramount import ance to the permanent well-being of a community like this-a country like ours, that subject is the one which now claims your attention. exercises your energies and commands your best eforts and highest hopes-the education of your children. -No conditions more serious and dan gerous ever confronted a people than those confronting, affecting and threat ening the civilization and character of the South. Our poverty is known and felt, the difficulties and burdens conse quent upon the negro problem are fully recognized. But there are just in the future a situation and possibilities of a graver character and more complex. -. The tide of immigration which soon must come Southward is a feature fraught with great difficulties to our people and customs, but one oF possible money advantages. As the great re-1 ;ouirces of wealth of South Carolina be ome known. enterprises and manufac turing industries will spring up on every hand. The great forest will fult nish commodities for the marts of the world. - The splendid climate and cheapness of lands invite immigration. These im migrants may be Slavs or Italians, Swedes or Norwegians or others of the rowded parts of the world. What of the customs. habits and thoughts of these people-will they be of a high or Low order of mankind? Whenever they -one our educational advantages must nable us to assimilate them. They must come up to our thought, habit and civilization or we sink as we touch nd are influenced by them-their hab its, customs and religion. The hope of our future is in the education of our -hildren-the children of our country. What of education? Does it consist of a little book larnin'?' " Mr. Norton then dwelt upon educa tion. showing the necessity of taking into consider.ion the physical man, the intellectual man and the moral man -the hands, the head and the heart. He drew from the life and characters of Stonewall Jackson and Gen. Sherman and Grant and Lee. He made the one man Paul a greater character. affecting and shaping the destinies of the worla to a greater degree than Alexander, Cromwell and Napoleon combined. Egypt, Greece and Rome were used to illustrate the folly of all education for the people looking only to wealth, beauty and power, and held that Truth as represented by the Lamp coming through the Hebrew, was essential, though scorned, despised and scattered The address was pointed and clear, losed by an appeal to the students to show themselves men and women in dt-ed. When Mr. Norton finished. Mr. Whittaker presented a book to Miss Sudie Turbeville. and Superintendent Wells presented a book to Miss Clarisa Whittaker. Both of these gentlemen made good presentation speeches. Professor McLaurin concluded the exercises with a speech in which he feelingly spoke of his association with the people of that section, how he was attached to: the children, and next to his own home in Marlboro the Pine Grove community was nearest his heart. He did not know whether he would re turn to Pine Grove, but if it was not his good fortune to be with them again, his heart would ever hold a warm place for parents and pupils, and with con siderable emotion he bade them an af fectionate good-bye and closed by say ing "God be with you 'til we meet again. This concluded the feast of reason,and then came the flow of soul and wit, for beneath the trees there was spread a dinner "fit for the gods." It was a Salem dinner. Do you know what that is? The peopkc of that section are noted for their magnificent barbecues, their toothsome chicken pies, their delight ful manner of preparing-, baking and cooking everything, and they had everything the appetite craved and the heart wished for on that table, and in such quantities that it made us regret we had not carried our entire family so they could have gotten a solid meal for on'e. We ought not tell tales out of school, but the fact is, there was a little candidate at that table who wvon our admiration for the way he appreciated a good thing, and the way he stuck to it. We are no slouch, our own little self around a dinner like that, but we had finished our dinner and gone .off and smoked a cigar, and to our surprise we saw this little candidate still at the table splitting his face open with a half of a pie; fearing the fellow was absent minded and had forgotten there was a tomorrow, we took the liberty to whis ner to him and remind him of the fact, nd the ungrateful fellow bluffed us off by saying to us. " Take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself." When the fellow was finally through and went to leave the grounds his wife actually had to lift him into his buggy, because he was afraid to strain bis sus pender buttons. The occasion will long be remem bered by those whose good fortune it was to be there, and the writer feels under many obligations to Professor McLaurin and the board of trustees for the courtesy extended him and the warm and cdrdial attentions shown him. We sincerely hope the Pine Grove Graded School will continue on its pros perous road, and that the institution will be linked with the great institu tions of learning in the State. HONOR ROLL.

Might be very confusing and misleading if people did not have a good test to apply, and that is, judge a merchant not by what he says in his advertise ments, but by what he does in value giving. That's just the basis upon which we ask people to judge our store. We like to have our advertisements read, for they are our store news, but we don't ask people to take them as proof that we give the best values. That proof awaits our customers at our store.
