Immediately after serving, Mr. E. R. ('ash. superintendent of Limestone and Potter, secretary and treasurer of the Gaffney Manufacturing Company, and Rev. G. P. Hamrick, made short speeches, urging the people to take greater interest in school. Mr. Potter especially stressed the importance of the patrons keeping their children in school whole sessions av a time if the children were to get much benefit from the school. Mr. Cash took the occas ion to mention the fact that in order to meet the growing demands of the schools a little higher levy would be necessary and that he wanted all to co-operate in this important matter. Prof. J. T. Spears made an urgent plea for a night school at the mills for the benefit, of those who could not attend the day school. He referred to the night school of Columbia as an ex ample of what might be accomplished at the mills here by supporting and maintaining a similar school. A few remarks were offered by the principal in w r hich he expressed his appreciation of the hearty co-operation that he was receiving in the school work from the patrons. Alter enjoying a recitation from Miss Ida Crocker, the patrons retired to their homes feeling, we believe, a deeper interest in the work of the school. i-I To our customers: We’ve just received a full line of Buggies, Harness, Stoves, all kinds Builders Hardware, Farm- $ ing Impliments, Etc., on which we have the best prices.
