??II fACTSANDFANCIES AROUND ANDREWS. ? . ? HAVOC OF THE DROUTH-SCHOOL CLOSES JUNE 1?BERRY SHIPMENTS SOCIAL NOTES. Andre\vs,May 9: ?Our community is suffering a dreadfully dry and cold ' spell. The oat crop is a total failure and farmers are having to plow up _ and njjpJjnt their cotton. Many find it difficult to get seed for re-plantrv'* in*. . .1 ' # The pupils ol our mgn scnooi are preparing for commencement, which ; will take place about the first of June. All are looking forward to this occasion with great interest. We understand that Governor Blease will be invited to attend these exercises and will possibly make the commencement address. We daresay that our school is unexcelled in the t State for its progress for the time it : ' V has been conducted under the pres* ent system. We have a fine corps of teachers, and, withal, a superintendent, Mr H t) Ritter.who is full of energy and ambition and a capable instructor. He has gained the love and confidence of all the patrons and pupils and is highly esteemed by every one. This school is one of the corner-stones of- our town's social fabric and is, as it should be, the pride ^ ^ of the community. \ The Land Association of thi||>lace / -is now cutting a canal from a point near Black river through the center of the town. The size of the canal is | 7 feet at the top and 4 feet at the bottom. In some places it is 10 feet deep. This increased drainage will be a great boon in the way of promoting the. health of our town. Besides this we have numerous other great ditches all over the town, which form a very complete drainage system for the; town and are also quite beneficie' ^ ) our farming interests. This -??flesired improvement is at measure due to the untirof Col W H Andrews, the ' pntpmrisincr superintendent of the G & W railroad, in honor of whom our town is named. H The strawberry farmers of this r W place have been shipping three carloads of berries a week for the past two weeks. We are informed that the fruit brings fancy prices, too. ; The truck farms are now employ/ ing about two hdndred hands daily, A ^ picking and packing the berries for imarket. This of course puts quite a lot of money in circulation during what is normally a very dull season. The game of ball played here Saturday between Georgetown and Andrews was won by Georgetown, the - " score being 12 to 6. There was a play given in the , school auditorium Saturday night for the benefit of the library. About two hundred people were present , and everything passed off nicely, The play was entitled, "The Old Maids' Association" Those taking part were: Mr H C Ritter, Misses Jessie Dobbins, Annie Blakeley, Mamie Pipkin; Nellie Nesmith, Bertie Brockinton, Novel Richardson and several others. It was a great success. After "~TBe performance mere was a general reception and boxes, ice cream, candy and flowers were sold. A beautiful cake was voted to the most popular girl. Little Miss Emma Richardson, getting the majority of the votes, captured the handsome prize. Subscriber. He Needed Help.

We are g!ad to note in the Kingstree Record the fact that many districts in that county are beginning to tax themselves for the improvement of their schools. We congratulate Williamsburg. Such bright and shjning lights as those set on the hill at Kingstree, Lake City, Scranton, Rome and other communities in that section, could not fail ' tn send nenetratine and enlivening rays of light throughout the com| munity. The willingness of people I to tax themselves for education is a most healthful sign. It is a pity that we could not have the educational system of this State so balanced that the burdens of that taxation would not be required to fall most heavily on those least able to bear them, and to that end the editor of The Times has been working long, but Legislatures are hard to convince, because they are disinclined to think very hard; to study very closely problems that do not confront them more or less forcibly. Some of these days, if persistent efforts in the right direction are ever crowned with success, we will see that much desired change be brought about. ? Florence Ti me-". How's This?
