The lowest bid on the library was ;hat submitted by Messrs Grandy & x Son of Sumter at $5,150, while the ? owest submitted on Dr Gamble's 1 residence was that of Mr Gra- ? lam of Whitehall,N C.this bid being M,180, about $1,000 less than that )f any of the other bidders. Contracts for the erection of these new idditions to the town were accordngly let to the above named gentlemen. Mr Grandy is well known in Kingstree as a building contractor, lis latest jobs here being the remodeling of the Wee Nee bank building ind the erection of the Presbyterian ehurch. Mr Graham has never had a contract in Kingstree, to our knowledge, but he recently contracted for and completed a very handsome school building at Cades. The location of the new library will be on the site of the old Kings- \ Lree school building at the corner of \ Hampton avenue and Mill street. Dr \ Gamble's new residence will be erect- ^ ?d on the site occupied by his pres- ij ?nt home on West Main street near * :he river bridge. \ ? I A Correction.

As a vice president was not elected at the lasl meeting, Miss Virginia Wilson was chosen to this office. The query for debate at this meeting was: Resolved, "That the United States should place an embargo on munitions." Although this might seem a very deep subject for high school pupils to discuss, neverthe/]/\La^awii K?*aii/vL f All f monti ess luc ucuaicia uiuugui uui many excellent points that made the exercises interesting The superintendent has presented :o the tenth grade a spot of ground )n the northern side of the school Duilding # a garden for botanical experiments. The garden will he divided into sections, and each pupil viil have the privilege and pleasure )f planting one section in whatever le or she might wish. There is vithout a doubt much friendly rival\v among the pupils as to which shall have the most propitious spot for a garden and the most attrac;ive selection of plants. It would doubtless be a pleasure for the reader to pass by the school 3uilding some afternoon about 1:30 )'clock and see the girls and boys vorking industriously loosening the soil and planting the seed. This vork will be under the supervision )f the botany teacher, Miss Louise Cunningham. We hope to soon lave plenty of flowers, fruits and vegetables to let our friends have.
