PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION.
It te commonly charged that the
publie schools do not give that practi
cal instruction that is demanded by
the busy life of our times; that it is
only a preparation for college, or for
an unpractical. scholarly life. Acting
under this belief many boys, and some

That the public school system of
Gaffney may come in closer touch
with the people, and that in its
schools the citizens may find supplied
for their children that instruction
which will both lit tor entrance Into
Institutions for higher education, and
alao tor the business of oread-win
ning, the school authorities have an*
ger consideration two additional fea
tures in the work of the city schools.
One is the addition of a night school at
the Cherokee Avenue and Umestone
schools. for the benefit of those who
cannot afford the time to attend the
regular day school, and yet have the
ambition to master circumstances by
attaining an education at the cost of
extra effort on their own part. If
established, it is intended that tuition
shall be free to those who are entitled
to attend the public schools of the
district The other innovation Is a
branch of high school work, which
may be a business course. Including
stenography and typewriting. Supei-
intendent Spears hopes to attain suf
ficient funds from the appropriation
under the high school act for the es
tablishment of the latter. This would
make a valuable addition to our school
facilities and cost no more than the
expenses of tne necessary election.
Other towns, both smaller and larg
er. around us are obtaining from six
tc eight hundred dollars from the
State appropriation for high schools.

Graham goes on to say that the cool

that he has agreed to withdraw from
the race and throw his support to

that Col. Ike renounce all right, title j

The most ardent supporter of the
dispensary must now admit that the
situation in Gaffney is greatly improv
ed since voting out the dispensary.
Formerly, we mean before the dispen
sary was voted out, it was a common
sight to see persons reeling on the
sidewalks under the influence of
whiskey, especially on Saturday af
ternoon; now It Is a very rare thing
to see anyone drunk on our streets;
and the records in the police court
will show that the number of cases
of “drunk and disorderly” have de
creased more than 100 per cent. It
is true that there is considerable illi
cit whiskey traffic going on in some
parts of the county; but we do not
believe that It has Increased to any
extent since the voting out of the
dispensary. In some parts of the
county this traffic was going on while
the dispensaries were doing business
at Gaffney and Blacksburg, and we do
not believe that the dispensary af
fected this traffic one way or the
other.
