Editor Fort Mill Times:
The Fort Mill Graded and High
Schools will begin its 1908-9 session
Monday, September 7th. A ;
full attendance is desired and :
urged for the opening day. We j
cannot emphasize too much the
importance of beginning aright; j
and the right time to begin is to ;
begin at the beginning; so then
let every parent who desires to j
get the best out of the school for i
his or her child and wishes to
help the teachers to bring!
about the very best results, see
to it that the children are present
Monday morning at 9 o'clock,
or as soon in the fall thereafter
as possible.
We believe that the graded
school department is well equip- j
ped with a teaching force and :
we hope to accomplish much in j
that department this year. We j
are going to spare no pains to ,
make the high school department!
a success, i'rof. J. A. Boyd, a1
teacher of about 30 years' expe-1
riencc and of acknowledged sue- j
cess in high school work, and I,
will devote our entire time to the
high school classes.
I do not think that we have, as
yet, fully realized what a great
thing has been done for us by the
legislature in providing for these
high schools. The law provides
for two teachers to thoroughly
prepare our boys and girls for
college; and for life, as is the
case with most of them, at practically
no cost.
We urge parents in the entire
Fort Mill high school district to
send Till pupils above the seventh
grade to us; and we invite all
pupils who are not in the district,
but are prepared to enter the
high school to enroll with us.
We shall do our best for you.
Remember, it costs you no
tuition. Let them come on horseback,
in buggies or wagons; or if
too far let them board in town.
I know boys and girls who go
live or six miles and are seldom
tardy, and they don't catch cold
either.
And to our town-people of Fort
Mill, let the school be first of importance
with your children from t
Monday morning until Friday
evening. Conform your plans to ;
the plans of the school. We are J
going to try to conduct the school j
on as nearly a scientific basis as ;
:ki~ I- v *
possum;. in every ease wnat we
do will he for the hest interest of
the children. We study this great
question and we consult the hest
authorities so as to conduct the
schools to the highest good of all
concerned. In behal f of the teachers,
I wish to thank every patron
in advance for every consideration
they may show us and for
every effort to assist us in carrying
out our carefully premeditated
plans. With a full co-operation
of patrons, pupils and
teachers success is eminent in
the old Fort Mill school.
Respectfully,
L. Meywardie Bauknight.

1 am the only ltuilroad Commissioner
who has moved his residence to (Jolnmbia
to be in daily touch with the work
of the office.
During my term of ollie.e I iiavo inspeetod
personally every line of railroad

tion of the roadbeds and trestles wore

conveniences of the traveliug public.
I have stood for lower freight and
