Up to the present time there are
j comparatively few teachers in this
county who have recorded their cer?
tificates and as Mr. J. H. Haynswurth,
County Superintendent of Education,
Is anxious to know who have cer?
tificates and what kind they hold, he
requests that the teachers holding
certificates In this county or from
other counties bring or send them to
his office In order that they may be
recorded and confusion avoided.
A record of all certificates should
be kept in the office of the county
superintendent of education, and un?
less the teachers assist l>y bringing in
their certificate? to be recorded trie
tiles will be incomplete.

We are publishing today a partial
list of subscribers who have paid in
full their pledge. This is the sec?
ond partial list that has been pub?
lished and a third will bs published
In the near future. Some of the
commltteemen who are assisting in
these collections have not yet report
ed and, therefore, a complete list is
not available today.
It is repeatedly brought to our at?
tention that the report is current that
some of the "big subscribers" to the
fund have not paid, and we wish to
state that the report is not correct,
as all the pledges of larger amounts
have been paid in full.

Meeting <>r Kail Roa<i Commltteea*
The variotU committees appoint?
ed to look atfer securing the right of
way for the Western South Carolina
Railway met in the court house last
Friday evening to make th*lr report
to the general committee.
The Chairman for the out-of-town
right away from Lydia to town limits,
reported that with the exception of
one or two places where condemna?
tion proceedings will have to lie re
sorted to, reasonable terms can be
made for right of way. Below town
the same state of affairs exist.
Tfrn-rr- were two reports for the
right of way through town?known
as the upper and lower routes. No
matter which route be chosen, con?
demnation proceedings will have to
be taken in several cases while the
majority are reasonable in their de?
mands.
There is no objection so srrioue
but what m;iy be reasonably adjusted
and we trust smooth sailing for the
road to come through.?Bishopville

We would call your special attention to the rare bargains which we have to offer in Williamsburg and Georgetown
Counties, while these Counties are behind, as compared with developments in other portions of the State, they are forg?
ing ahead, and to-day 'tnereis more activity in real estate in that section than in any other portion of South Carolina.
These Counties have been noted as a great timber and stock raising section; the timber now fast disappearing, settlers
are turning their attention to farming and trucking. Some of the lands in the neighborhood of those offered by us, have
recently sold for $100.00 per acre, strawberries and other truck being successfully grown, also there is considerable rail?
road development into and through these Counties, land offered above being near the Georgetown & Western Railroad,
which affords good and convenient service from the North to Georgetown. The local people tell us that they enjoy as
good health as those in any other section of the country.
We are prepared to make reasonable terms on any place sold, and invite inquiries from all sections, and will show
you over the lands without cost to you.
