A Card.
Editor County Record:
I Kindly allow me the use 01
your columns to express a word
of appreciation to the congregations
of Brewington, Corinth
and Richmond.
Dear Brethren, by your liberality
I am settled iu the neat
and comfortable parsonage
located in the progressive to^rn
of Greelyville, which your generosity
and self-denial have provided.
The house is well adapt,ed
to the purpose intended,
being roomy and conveniently
arranged and situated in a most
desirable portion of the town.
You have hereby added much to
out comfort, and we trust also
to our usefulness as pastor. The
group of churches has long,
r needed a parsonage, and we re
joice that it has been erected
during jur pastorate. You have
a nice parsonage and should be
(&. proud of it, and feel repaid for;
I any self-denial its erection may
have caused you.
Our thanks are due to all those
85K- individuals who so kindly moved
^ our goods and effects frem Manning.
You saved us consider
able expense and perhaps delay,
and then you handied the goods
so carefully that nothing was
ft1"'. lost or damaged to any appreciJk?
able extent
#?< - We found on arriving at the
gj?- house that the members of Richmond
had cleaned up the premis%
es of the rubbish incident tobuilding,
an^l the ladies of the congregation
had attended to making
the interior of the bouse a fit
place for habitation. The floors
had been scoured, windows wash/
ed and everything made as neat
y" as a pin. But, best of all, the
pantry had been stocked with
I all kinds of needful provisions.
A card said, "From the members
of Richmond and some individuals
in Greelyviile who are not
members." We will find use for
all the articles but we appreciate
fI roost the spirit wiiicn prompted
the gift.
Please accept our profound*
thanks for all the nice things,
and may God bless you abundantly.

FRANCIS MARION
LITERARif SOCIETY
ORGANIZED BY PUPILS OF UNION
GRADED SCHOOL?A RECENT
DEBATE.
After several mouths preparatory
training and drill in parliamentary
practice by the teachers, the pupils
of Union Graded school have organized
a literary society. The regular
membership is composed of pupils
of the fifth and higher grades.
Previous to the organization a committee
appointed from the higher
grades, under the direction of the
teachers, drew up a constitution and
by-laws, by which the society is governed.
This constitution was subsequently
adopted by popular vote,
thus the pupil feels that he is governed
by laws and regulations,
which he himself had a part in making?the
principle of self-government
which we Americans are proud
of, and with which the pupil should
early become familiar.
Francis Marion, haviug fought
for and saved this section of our
State during the war with England,
redeeming it from the yoke of Brit
ish bondage by most devoted service
and loving sacrifice, no character
was deemed more worthy of honor
and reverence from his native soil,
no life more fitted for example of
noble jwitriotism, no deeds more deserving
commemoration than those
of the hero of our own loved section
who fought in our midst long years
ago. Indeed, less than two miles
distant from the school building lies
the Black Mingo battle ground
where Marion won a hard fought
victory, a spot which should be
marked by a permanent monument.
Thus Fiaucis Marion became the
name of our literary society. We
feel honored that we are permitted
to bear the name of one so noble.
We cannot add to his glory, his record
is made?we cau help bear
aion una Keep unv2 tnac name preeminent
that it may never even approach
oblivion among the traditious
of our community.
The society meets every Friday
afternoon filling that part of school
work usually designated as "Friday
evening speaking'*. However, the
worth and work of the society are
far greater and deeper. Its benefits
are incomparable to tne ordinary
"speaking". Literary society work
gives the pupil invaluable training
in many ways. Through it he be
comes able to "think ou hie feet",
is enabled to face an audience and
tell his thoughts without losing the
power of speech; he is given training
in principles of popular government;
he receives valuable experience in
parliamentary practice; through it
are bestowed graceful address and a
power of self-confidence.
Our society is proving eminently
successful. Every pupil is taking
desp interest in every phase of the
work. A varied programme is given
at every meeting, consisting of readings,
recitations, music, essays and
debate. The constitution and by
laws govern the eutire procceediugs.
Officers are elected every two months.
1 Those who have the honor of being
the first offiers of the society are:
President, Ferney Hemingway.
Vice-President, J. C. Marshall.
Secretary, Iva Faddy.
First Censor, Daisie Brockinton.
Second Censor, Daisie Munnerlyn.
Treasurer, Carey Rollins.
The teachers act as critics.
A programme committee prepares
the programme, varying the duties
of the members alternately.
At a' recent meeting the query.
"KesolveU: i n.it our common rural
schools should be consolidated into
graded schools'', was debated. Below
is a paper written by a pupil on
the affirmative side. It is uncorI
rected, just as arranged and read by
the pupil. From this paper one can
get au idea how well a pupil of the
ninth grade can handle a question of
this kind. It was written by Miss
Iva Eaddy.
DEBATE.
Resolved; that our common country
schools should be consolidated
into graded sehocls.
1 In discussiug tbe query chosen for
j debate this afternoon we should con1
oirl/ii. u/lcunfunoia n r.iiloil
Oiutl tun >vt fOUMigvg V4 H giuuvu
school over a common country
school. First, when 60 many children
meet together, they have more
ambition for study and are more
willing to attend school. Second, u
graded school lasts three or four
times as long as a rural school.
Third, more studies ure taught at
graded schools, and instead of th^
pupil being turned back every time
he starts tiSchool, as they are al
rural schools, he is led steadily on
ward through higher aud higher
branches of study and the crowning
noint is his praduatiou.
r o
There is no incentive to create ambitiou
among pupils of coranion
country schools. Because, as a
general rule, the children start back
to school after about eight or nine
months' vacation and are turned
back to the first of their already
well worn books. Then they are
led over the same old thing each
term. How can a person learn anything
at that rate?
At graded schools, the pupils cau
attend school eight or nine months
out of the year and have something
to create a desire for study. They
can euter new grades aud study a
great number of different books.
There are more branches of study
taught at graded schools, namely;
art, music, drawing, elocution,
physical culture, etc These are not
taught at common country schools.
When these is a flourishing graded
school in the midst of a community,
the people have something of
which they may justly feel proud.
When they send their children there
they have the consolation of knowing
that their children are receiving
nrnnop dorolnnmpnf hnth in mind
r~.
and body by the combiued efforts of
from three to six competent teachers
instead of one twenty-dollar teacher
at a rural school.
At rural schools the teachers aie
so often deficient in training and
when that is the case the pupils
must suffer the cousequenoes.
Daniel Webster said: "Something
that was called a school was kept
for two or three mouths in the winter,
frequently by an itinerant, too
often a pretender, claiming only to
teach a little reading, writing and
ciphering and wholly incompetent to
give any valuable assistance to a
clever youth in learning either."
How well thai may' be applied 10
present day rural schools!
No doubt that my opponents will
say that many of our greatest men
attended common country schools
and no others, but we must remember
that it was not the rural school
that made them gieut. Instead of
that it was the manner in which the
pnpils applied themselves. Many people
have become famous who attended
common schools in childhood but
after attending those schools they
attended preparatory schools and
colleges. If they had gone to graded
schools instead of rural schools,
they would not have had to go to
preparatory schools. A graded
school fits people for college but a
common country school does not.
Some people will say that if rural
schools are consolidated, it will be
the means of debarring some children
from school on .account of the
distance, but the day has come when
three aod four miles are considered
only a modern distanae to attend
school. Some children do not mind
going six or eight miles to school.
We have an illustration of the fact
j here at the Union Graded school.
I All of us would rather come the distance
we do to school here than a
common school at our door-steps.
We may be sure that others feel the
same way.
If any of you all do not see the
benefit derived from graded schools,
compare the condition of the country
now with the time before they
were introduced. You will find a
vast difference in the state of education.
If common schools had served
j the purpose of educating the children
as they ought, why Mere graded
! schools introduced? It was because
people found out that their children
1 were not receiving proper training.
Therefore, common country schools
are gradually becoming a thing of
the past,
I have heard many people say that
they wished to see the day when
rural schools ivere all consolidated
t \
/ Y
f
I into graded schools. Among these
was our superintendent of educa-1
' tion.
One of the beat things of a gradi
ed school is the uplifting influence
i that is cast by good libraries and
i pious teachers. Oftentimes the
school near their hemes is the only
one some children have the oppor
; tunity of attending, therefore after
' having gone to school as long as
> they possibly could they are betttr
, equipped for the battles of life if
they had attended graded schools.
It is not the case with them if they
; had attended common couutrv
schools.
.A graueu school arouses a social
i element, in a community by bringing
\ more people together than a cornmou
school would It causes the
i people to have a common interest
and to strive for the welfare of each
other.
! Taking into consideration the
many advantages, I think common
country schools should be cousolida
ted into good substantial graded
schools. O. M. M.
