GRADED SCHOOL COLUMN Conducted and Edited by Pupils of the Laurens City Schools. Through the kindness of the broad minded editors of The Laurens Adver tiser, our school lias been assigned a column in their valuable paper in -which to record the happenings of our school life during the remaining months of this session. We try to abide by the old rule "Tell no tales out of school" but as we feel that the public is interested in the progress that our school is making and the acts and doings 06 the student body, wo accept the offer with thanks. During the time we will publish the Honor Roll and some of the com positions, poems, etc. of our "master minds" and if they fall below your standard of good reading do not blame the editors of this paper but over look the short comings of the original work of our pupils. As to the news there is always something happening among the four hundred and more school pupils and we hope to make this department in teresting. Asking your Indulgence and appre ciation of our efforts we beg to make our bow to the public . it. s. Dunlap. Washington's birthday was observ ed in the school auditorium by an ap propriate program rendered by the pupils. After the usual devotional exercis es that inspiring song, "My Dream of the IT, S. A." was beautifully ren dered by the whole student body, af ter which Richard Dunlap, president of the tenth made gave "The Birthday of the Father of Our Country." In response to an Invitation from the llrst and second grades, quite a number of the patrons of the school assembled in the auditorium to wit ness a program given by the pupils ? >f these grades under the splendid supervision of Misses Meng and Ilrown. The applause the little "tots" received as they rendered their re spective parts, showed that their ef forts were appreciated. Favorable Comments \\?re heard on every side and doubtless each parent was proud of the SUC0088 of their children and congratulated themselves on having them placed In the care and training of such competent teachers. After an Intermission of fifteen minutes the student body assembled in the chap 1 lo wltnoss a play. "The Heir of Mount Vern in," given by the pupils of tlie grades taught* by Miss es Davis ami Cromor. This play was the most appreciated feature of the day, being given in the old colo nial costumes and customs. The pu pils did well and few would have thought this their first appearance on the stage. The following made up the caste of characters: Madam Washington, Miss Annie Burns George Washington, Walter Rut ledge. 1>ord Fairfax, Frank Reld. Mary Bland (George's swoetheart), Ruth Poole.

During the year Is'.s, I was made in Troy, X. v.. and was shipped out bright and new. I enme lo th|s town and was plac ed upon the top of the Laurcnsvllle Female college, which was bull I In the Bnmc year that I was made. Many ?were the bright young faces that ' ?ame within those college walls for the first lime at my summons. My tone was never .sweeter than at the commencements of the sweet girl graduates, l saw your "mothers as they came there and went, many nro the fair women all over the South land, that 1 welcomed to that college. That building was a college until 1X92, when it was sold to the board of trustees for a graded school. Instead of young women. 1 then greeted young boys and girls. Many were tho pranks that I witnessed, which were devised by those young people. Of ten on new year's night. I rang out tJie old year and welcomed the new. On one New Year s night some mls ehievions boys broke Into the build ing, ellmbod the latter to where I was. and hit me with a hammer. To this day I wear those scars, and they re mind many boys of thnt night. Finally the building became too old, and not at all convenient for so many pupils. This new and beauti ful building was made, and I was transferred to It. Instead of being put on the top of the bullding, I was pnt on one side of the steps. Here 1 felt very tpieor at first, because of having been taken from my lofty po 1 itlon and placed so near mother earth; but since I have noticed so many happy faces, as ihey smiled at me, I realize that l am happier now than I have ever been before. And here i now welcome the son:*, and daughters, and oven the grandsons and granddaughters of the women that I first welcomed. Edwin F. Moselcy. The (langes Hirer. The Ganges River which surpass es all others in sanctity is the prin cipal feature of India. In courts the witnesses take their oaths upon the water of the Ganges River. The two banks which it divides here are as unlike as Paradise and Hades. The Hindus long to die on the north ern shore for they go at once to heav en. The. southern bank is a sandy waste and it is believed that if any one expires here be will be a donkey. Tho priests issue a kind of policy against death on this unlucky shore by saying hat those who visit a shrine some es away, once a year will be free fr? ai transmigration. Rroad stair-cases of stone extend in one unbroken line along the river hank. Thousands of Hindus stand here praying, bathing, conversing, or carrying the water away in jars. Just after sunrise these stair-ways are thronged with men, women and children, thinking only of their bath in the "Holy Ganges." They believe that it will purify their souls and wash away all taint of sin. The Ganges River is very filthy. Bushels of faded Powers are cast in to the river and float In masses on the surface. Anong these weeds are the remains of human bodies, partial ly cremated on the shore. Every bather takes up in his hand soitte of this fluid and drink it. Gallons of this river water are carried away into the country where ready purchasers are found. Although the English government provides a good supply of purified water, the peo.de prefer to use the water of the "Holy Ganges'' and come long distances fo li!l their jars and take it home. It has been necessary for wooden piers to be built out Into the stream. Although there are miles of stone Steps on the shore for all comer.}, they do not at times afford sufficient space for the pilgrims. Mamie Austin. Ninth Crude. Longfellow. Longfellow was born in Fcbruarv 27, 1807. lie died in 1SS2. He liked to write poems, lie started to school When he was three years old and when he was six years old he could read and write. He spent his vaca tion at his grandfathers. His grand father told him about Indian stories. !l? liked little birds. He did not like to kill them. If he was living today he would be 105 years old. He died when he was 75 years old. At the school where he. lived all the girls and boys saved their pennies and payed a man to make Longfellow a chair. The last poem be wrote was "My Arm Chair."
