In Williamsburg as Viewed by
Expert Teacher-Some Bouquets.
Concerning the trustees' meeting;
held here Thursday, August 4. Prof
W K Tate writes as follows to the:
I ,
^ Columbia State:
Thursday was spent in Kingstree
with the summer school and the i
trustees of Williamsburg county, ;
who met in joint session. The meeting
of the trustees of this county was
one of the most significant events
^Afhieh has come under my notice.
^Though Williamsburg is a distinctly :
rural county, in the movement for
the consolidation of schools it. perhaps,
leads the State. In the county
there are eight or ten strong community
schools, which have been
formed by the consolidation of smaller
schools. The first of these schools
to be organized was the one at
Rome,which now has as its principal
Mr 0 M Mitchell, a graduate of
Wofford College. It employs six
other teachers, maintains a high
school and.although it is twenty-five !
miles from a railroad, claims the 1
distinction of preparing more pupils
for college than any other school in
Uic vruuxii iuc ptupiv v* v*?vwv
solidated community schools are very
proud of them and would under no
circumstances return to the small
neighborhood school. The establishment
of these schools has caused
rapid appreciation in land values in
the neighborhood, and settlers are
attracted to these communities because
of their school advantages.
Superintendent McCullough is assisting
in the organization of consolidated
schools in other parts of Williamsburg
county,and expects within
the next few years to have every
district in the county supplied with
an efficient long-term school.
The trustees of the county at their
meeting in Kingstree formed a permanent
organization, of which Mr
B B Chandler of Rome was elected
president. They will meet twice during
the year, and will discuss the
problems which arise in the work of
the rural school trustees. A special
^committee was appointed to draft aj

s sented at the next meeting. A special
committee was appointed to se-;'
^ cure information which will enable 1
the trustees of the county to co-op- '
erate in the purchase of school desks 1
and other school supplies. The trus11
tees of this county are exhibiting an
ability to co-operate which may well 1
be emulated hy the other counties of '
the State. Several other counties
have formed these associations of
school trustees, and it is hoped that
by the end of this year every county
will have such an association. The
formation of such organizations is
W one of the most significant move- '
ments now in progress.
During the last ten years the town
of Kingstree has more than trebled
its population. This has been done J
without the development of any
factories or new industries, which
would attract a population. 1 asked
the hotel keeper in Kingstree for his
explanation of the rapid growth of
the place. He attributed it to two 1
things: First, the agricultural pros- 1
perity ir. Williamsburg county and 1
the consequent increase in import- 1
anee of Kingstree as a trading cen- i
ter; and, secondly, the good schools
of Kingstree had attracted to the
town many people who wished to
use its^educational advantages. Both
in the town and in the rural com- 1
1 117*117
munity are exemplified in w imams- |
burg county the fact that the school 1
is the inost valuable business asset i
% of the community. If Countv Super*
I
intendent McC'ul lough and the trus-ij
tees t.f Williamsburg county con- 1
tinue their present progressive jxdi- ]
i ov, this county may soon be the 1
"fltodel for the whole State. j

not, why not? Study carefully the i

Do you need further proof? Here
it is:
On Tuesday, August 9, our entire
sale amounting to 58,195 pounds averaged
$10.67 per hundred. On that
day we sold at public auction ungraded
leaves as high as 22 *c and
27c per pound. A few days since we
sold our whole curing of graded tobacco
;.i at average of 36c per
pound. The reason why we do these
things is because Lea & Tredway are
born warehousemen and have had
m<irp ??vjv>ripnrv? handling South
Carolina tobacco than any two men
in the State. Their new auctioneer
is the talk of the country. We are
selling a bigger per cent of the crop
this year than ever before. Don't be
afraid of over-working us. We are
both in the prime of manhood and
able to stand it. The dollar is what
you want, so come to headquarters
and get the worth of your tobacco.
Your friends,
Lea & Tredway,
