NEW BUILDIKG TO BE ERECTED

DvildlBc Fud.
The meeting held laet Wedti^e-
dey at Hlott’e park (or the pur-
poee of effecting a consolidation of
the Bethlehem and Hall school dis
tricts, was most successful. Not on
ly were the districts consolidated
but a petition freely signed calling
fro an election to vote a high
school and a high school levy of
two mills for the support of same.
The new school district will be
known as the Bethlehem High
School, No. 32, and the trustees
chosen by the patrons themselves
are E. T. Hlers, J. H. Kinsey and
A. 0 Hiott
Over $1100 has already been sub
scribed as a building fund with
which they will build an up-to
date school building for the new
district, and this is not near all
that will come In as nearly half
the pc/rons haw not been seen.
.Under the law giving aid to school
districts for building new houses,
this district will Iaj e^.itled to
$700 from State and County, appll
cation for a school site, and the
soon as the necessary details cr-n be
arranged. The new building will
be situated on the old Hill place,
a lot of two acres being generously
donated for that purpose by Cleve
land Hiott. This is an* Ideal lo
cation for a schoolsite, and the
erection of such building will add
much to tha attractiveness of ths
naturally beautiful site.
Gkedit is due the citlxens for theifl trict, and ere all young men
Ok! Hill
The nevt Question then was to the
location of the new building. Mr.
A. O. Hiott announced that be had
sacured from his brother, W. Hiott,
the offer of a two acre lot Just at
o '
the end of the grove in which the
meeting was being held, with. $he
privilege of using the grove, and
additional subscription* amounting
to about a thousand dollars. There
was some objection expressed as to
this site, and a proposition was then
made that a location midway be
tween the farthest points In the con
solidated district be choser>. This
was found to fall at the old Hill
place, about a quarter of a mile
from the Hiott place, and this was
finally selected. The site of the
present Hall school was offered If it
were chosen, but the majority favor
•d the old Hill place.
Petitions Signed.
The location of the site having
beet* determined, the maUer of
signing the peUtion asking for the
consolidation was taken up. and in
c- few minutes the necessary signa-
tuie one-third of the qualified
voters was secured. A petition was
then presented asking for an elec
tion to decide question of Making
a high school district of it, end
to vote the requisite two mills levy.
This was also signed, and the elec
tion rotice appears elsewhere In
this' issue.
TiMstee* Selected.
When it came to deciding whom
the patrons wished for trustees of
the new school district, the names
of E. T. Hlers, J. H. Kinsey, 8.
W. Weeks, A. O. Hiott were plac
ed in nomination. The election re
sulted ii:« the following vote: A.
O. Hiott, 17; J. H. Kinsey, 32; S.
W. Weeks, 16; E. T. Hiers, 3i.
Messrs. Hiott, Kinsey, Hiers, were
therefore chosen. Subsequently K
was decided by the trustees that Mr.
Hiers should act as chairman. This
board is composed of three very en
thusiastic patrons of the new dis-
of
'Apportionment of Public School
Funds for Colleton County,
untiring interests in this matter.
Perbepw, however, more credit is
due A. O. Hiott, chairman of the
board of trusteea of the old Beth
lehem school district, than to any
other individual, though he has tot
boon the only one to push the con
solidation idea. About a year ago,
a meeting washeld at Bethlehem
church, which was addressed by
Supt. W. K. Tate, of the elemen
tary rural schools of the state, Dir.
H. W. BUtok, county superintendent
of education, and W^ W. Smoak, a
member of the eoun^r board of edu
cation. The seed aown at this meet
ing feW in good ground and the
meeting held last Wednesday show
ed the harvest.
Meeting at Hiott’s Park.
The meeting Wednesday was held
at Hiott's park, which is a beautiful
oak grove, and was called to order
by A. O. Hiott promptly at 11
o’clock. Practically alj the patrons
of the two school districts were
present, as were several from ad
joining districts. Hon. J. B. Dodd
was ce-lled to the chair to pre-
rfde. A general discussion* of the
question Was had for a few minutes
in which it was found that there
were several ideas on the subject
that had to be reconciled before
any consolidation could be accom
plished. The chairman then intro
duced W. W. Smoak, a member of
the county board of education, who
explained the mode oflcot'^yildation
and urged the union of these two
districts.,* He was attentively lis
tened to, c.j he urged the patrons
to lay aside whatever they had of
prejudice and jealousy, and to act
with an eye single to the best in
terests of the children, the future
men and women* of the community.
Mr. Smoak we* followed by Dr.
H. W. Black, the county superinten
dent of education, who seconded
the plea for union, and urged the
necessity of the consolidation*. Dr.
Black said that at the time he was
growing up, there was not the ne
cessity for educn-lcd men and wo
men as exists today, and that par
ents would be held responsible for
the way in which they allowed their
children to face the w-orld as men
and women.
I nnnimoUH Foil Consolidation.
At the conclusion of this address
by Dr. Black, the chairman stated
that the selection of a site wouk
have to be determined before the
patrons present would say whether
or not they favored con sol ide* ion
This started a wrtingle which seem
cd likely to er»l in nothing accom
plished. Mr. Smoak then asked for
the privilege of taking a hand pri
ntary on the question of consolida*-
tion without considering the site
for the building, so as to ascertain
whether or not the patrons really
desired to unite the two districts
TbU resulted in a unanimous vote
tor the consolidation.
energy at-d intelligence. The dis
trict will be safe in their hands.
The members of the old boards of
trusteee were:
Bethlehem—A. O. Hiott, C. P.
Turn blest oi-, I. D. Crosby. •
Hall—S. W. Wekes, A. V. Ricken-
baker. Jack Kinsey.
No Immediate Chaise.
It was .the sense of the meeting
that the present condition of affairs
prevcll till the end of the present
school year, and separate schools
will be taught, unless a suitable
building cat! be secured, pending
the erection -of the new buildit*g,
in which event the high school may
go into effect this fall.

OBITUARY.
On Sunday morning Jan. 15, 1911,
;«t 10:30 o’clock, Mrs. C. W. Warren
died, at her home at Mashawville,
C\, leaving her devoted husband
four sons, Gussie, Dan, Willie, and

The first practical test of the
aeroplane in the realm of industry
is to be made in England, where
tha postoffice authorities have
made arrangements to put in an
aeroplane mail delivery between Lon
don and Wlndsom. It is reported
that the French officials are con
templating a similar step.
It is stated that little time will
be save 1 In delivering mail between
London and Windsom and the test
is to be made for experimental pur
poses only.
Atwood's successful flights shows
that the aeroplane is hastening to a
of practicability, but we doubt if
the flying machine as constructed
now will evspr reach a stage of gen
