The pu pils aro in the main, progressing sat isfactorily in their studies. They seem to he interested, not only in their reg ular scholastic work, but in all tho activities that pertain to a well-reg ulated school. All indications point iu one of the most successtul years in the history of the school. The Walker-McElmoyle Literary Society was organized before Christ mas, and has had several interesting and highly satisfactory meetings. This society was instituted some four years ago, and though it has been once or twice in a state of relapse, * it seems now to be manifesting as much life and activity as could be desired. The pupils of the four high est grades seem to bo very enthusias tic over and eagerly interested in so ciety work. The officers of the society are as follows: John B. Martin, president; Lawrence Boggs, vice president; Hat tie Kay, secretary and treasurer, and 1 Lena Thompson, critic. The subject , under discussion at the last 'meeting was, Resolved, That the education in South Carolina should be compulsory. , Harry F.ankin and Pauline Jameson , upheld tho affirmative side, while Wal ter Jameson and Helen Rankin sup ported the negative. The debate went to the negative. Our boys have already begun base ball practice. Not only that, but they have won two games by a good ma jority. With consistent practice they should bo able to compete favorably with any school team in the county. Those who have made the best show ing are: Lawrence and Roy BoggB, Willie Jameson, Walter GilleBple, John Martin, Rufus Newton, Arthur and Raymond Qlllespie, and Harry Rankin. The school improvement association is in a thriving condition, and seems to be fulfilling the purpose for which it exists. With a largo, enthusiastic membership there is no reason why it should not be a very potent factor in the upbuilding of our school and I community. The association is cod- [ templating giving an entertainment in the near future. The McElmoyle Camp. No. 611,1 W. O.

Tho outward movement of tho crop during February surprised traders.
