Jones of thc Laitrens <ity schools, entitled "Pic. tare Fund Account" tells an Interest ing Blory of what can be accomplished with a certain amount, (very large) of Intelligent effort and perseverence. Thl little statement tolls In n nut shell the Btory of bow the graded Bchool building has been decorated tttid adorned with pictures :.nd sculp tur? more extensively and with more last? than possibly any other school In the state and possibly any other school of the same s:ze anywherei Mn Jone; has worked with unabated perseverence >vhene\ >r the opportun? Ity offered during the past year and a tin statement shows, his work baa not been In vain. The bnlum o sheet shows that a total profit of $701.50 was n ;.'!? iron: the lyceutn course, con certs, art exhibits and in other ways during the past year. To be more exact, ?* i?> was the gross nmor.nl taken In und $521.40 expended, making the profit .'.hove :-tat"'|. Out of this funtl Mr. Jones has sap Idled the school with $07.05 worth of books, class mom pictures worth ov< i $71. has planted trees on the grounds at :.n expense of nearly $17. has bought pictures for the auditorium to the nmount or i:; and adorned the walls of the auditorium with friezes of great value and at a cost , f $208. While this estimation is a money valu ation only, the actual value to the school a.-, specimens of art and as a source of study cannot be reckoned. The school building, as it now is. should be a source of much pride to the people of Lauren-, for there are few which can equal it. The credit is due more to Mr. Jones than to any one else, although the teachers and pu pils have given great assistance, for he it is who does the actual work in getting up and advert:.-in;: the lyceum course and other attractions, enthuses the teachers and scholars with the de si-, to beautify the building and ex ercises auch 'aste and originality In thi 'selections. It might not he out of place to state that Mr. Jones last year clearer, an amount of money equal almost to haif the salary which ho received from the UTK XEfGllliOirs UK \ 1.1II. There has been more or less discus sion of late, as the summer months are coining oh, concerning the disre gard, on the part of some of the prop-! erty owners of the city, of the ordi nance as to connection with the sewer lines. An ordinance of the city re quires that wherever a houscowner has water connections he shall also havo sewer connections. Of course, this ordinance is intended as a health measure to aid In keeping the prem-1 i ts free of tilth and refuse. A num. I ?: of people In the city are dlsre-! gardlng 'his ordinance, it i> reported on good authority, and measures should be taken at once to see that the proper connections are made. Action cannot be taken too soon in matters Of this kind, for delay might mean an epidemic of fever in the city. If the owners of these properties do not take the proper precautions to pro tect the lives of themselves, their fam ilies and neighbors, It devolves upon the city to see that it Is done. This is a very urgent matter and should be at tended to at once. ? ? ? According to press reports sent out from Charleston while Gov. Mease was there recently, he was quoted as saying, while sitting on the piazza of the 8chutzenplatz building, that "As toon ar I arrive in Columbia I shall write to Col. Griffith requesting him to shut down the mill Immediately," speaking of the hosiery mill. Now an other dispatch comes out of Columbia Jn which Gov. Blease Is quoted an saying that it was his Intention "to set free all prisoners disabled by chronic ill health" and in addition this dis patch says that Gov. Illease declares that at the meeting of the directors on June Tth he would urge them "to cancel the hosiery mill contract." Several Interesting questions arise out of these statements. Did Gov. Mease write the letter to Supt. Grif fith or did he change his mind after he returned to Columbia, or was he misquoted when sitting on the Schut zcnplatz piazza or was he just "gas sing" for the amusement of the pub lic^ It looks like somebody has slip ped Up.
