"Slumberland." the charming
t musical extravaganza,the play, vv hich
created such a sensation here for the
* past several weeks, was presented
!by Mr I^hrry Foote at the Auditorium
last Friday and Saturday evenings
for the benefit of the Burroughs
Graded school. Mr Foote,
having just successfully brought oh
tthe play at Wilmington, N 0., under
the auspices of King's DaughBtrs,
among whom number some of
Pie proudest names in the Old North

, ' private,business?to visit, his wife
and to rest before goiug to Charles\
too, and while here lie was importuned
by many to give the people of
Conway an opportunity to see this
play.
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.

Miss INapce Writes an Interesting
l-eltcr on the ftublc t. 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

There was quite an excitement
in town Sunday night. The bams

tire at 10 o'clock p. m. The horses
wero saved but everything eUo
burned. It is not known whother
the tire caught accidentlyor whother
it was the work of an iucindiary.
The alarm was given aud there were
at least seventy-tive peQple present
in less than thirty minuter The
fire came near getting to the warehrtncft

This is only a gentle reminder of
what may occur at Poris in til? w&y
of fires Citizens take warning and
prepare lest vour property be in
ashes. Why not organize a bucket
brigade and have them well drilled.
This covM easily bo done, so lot us
go to wprk and prepare for the fire
before it ooniQa.
The now tobaooo warehouse will
soon bo finished. This will add very
much to our market.
We long to see the time come
we cau elect a town council-that
