There came to his assistance some of the best talent in the city and bjr faithful y6rk and-cnthusiastic interest they perfected themselves so as to give a very creditable per formaniin. Indeed, so well did they do their work that even professionals would have felt honored to have .done as well. For the Friday evening's performance the house was sold long before tho hour for the dooivs to open and there remained standing room only. "oluiv.berland" is an attractive college play and was the largest' af-. fa5r of tho kind ever given in Conway, there being 150 people iu the cast, all of whom are residents of ihis city, and so bewildering a variety of songs, dance and scene that . the audience was captivated> from t,h? first and held so to the last, and it is impossible to mention those ,parts which gave the audience the -most pleasure. All the groupings were pretty mid well arranged:, the ;scenic elTects were perfect and the ?co5tumes of the different groupes ' charming and handsome while the electrical effect was a plesfslW surprise to those who had never seen-the like before. The delightful choruses; the l?ttle old men and women from Midget City; the picturesque and pretty banjo girls; the little school girls; the weired and fantastic witches, and the demure and coquctlsh Japanese maidens made a scene of bewildering splendor and a dazzliug array of beauty of Pght * rand color. The immortal wizard and imps came in for their share' of ,-praise.

Teachers and Trustees Must T?K? an filter est In ThentTho rural schools of South Carolina have been greatly Improved in in recent years but there is yet an enormous amouut of work to bo done bfcforo the schools Jq the country will compare at all favorably with the town and city sohools, A large per cent -of the population of our State is rural and agricultural therefore if every boy and girl is to be given an cquul chance for an education it is very important that our people builjd up a good system of country schools. The efficiency of a country school depends largely upou the ellort put forth In a ypral CQtfimuuity by its trustees Apd teachers. i f they show (hat they aro interested and Ml . _ I iL- 1 1 ? ? win iuku me leuuursuip in improving their schools they will not fail tQ get cooperation from .patrons. I urge every country teaohcr and trustee in Soyth Carolina to ask himself the question; What can I do toipakejny school better? Find out how yoq oan make it hotter and go to work with a determination to in*prove conditions. buccpsa will always -attond an earnest effort. During, the recent session of the Legislature a bill was passed appropriating $?0,000 for the purpose of increasing the average length af* th4'school term and to improve the elfuieucy of the public schools in this Stute. 'yTie Slate Sup sriutondent of Education, Mr J $ Swearlnger, will gladly send a copy 3f this Act, together with regulations, to any one who will write tiim for same. Every rural school should run longer than three or four months so if yours doesn't ruuat least 100 days lon't fail to take advantage of this law. It provides that anv" school whose term is less than }00 days jun secure $2 00 from the State superintendent of Education for ivery $1 00 that the .patrghs may *aise. If any - school which pays MO 00 a month "will pay $10 00 the itate will supply $20 00 and thus ongtbon the term by one month. Jf coprse, any further amouut raisid by.the school will secure -a corr respo'nflingly greater addition to die school term ^ The State Board of Education has recently sot aside $2,000 of the liarary fund to be used by the School rmprovement Association for prizes rhls amount was offered last year >nd nlnety^qne schools entered the iontost.' it U estimated that $200 [>00 worth of material improvement resulted from this contest. if your school did not apply last, year, don't fail to make an effort to win a prize this year. Regulations regarding pVizes can be secured by writing Miss Theodosla Dargan.President of School Improvement Association, Dalgell, 8.
