There was one taught ;? at Bogansville by Miss Hannah E. Lee. Another was taught near Sulphur Springs by Miss Annie Little. Just over the line in Spartanburg 1,1 county there was another little school taught by Miss Bettie West. These schools only ran about three months in a year. In 11)01 the board of trustees for th this district was composed of the th following gentlemen: Henry Crow, I., sc P. Stanford and .Joseph A. Betsill. Sc The law giving school districts the co right to vote a special levy on the <o taxable property was in an experi- to mental stage. These gentlemen tool; en steps to have an election called to de- mi termine whether or not a special levy ,|a of 2 1-2 mills, to supplement the constitutional tax, should be added. The be election was held and there were only ij; three votes cast against the addition- bi al tax. be 'ru.. *1 1 ? iiv. unci- atiiuuis MICIIUOIK'U UDOVi' M were consolidated. The old West pe Springs academy was overhauled ami no transformed from a barn into a fairly -c respectable school building. Profes si< sor J. T. Spears of Union, and Mrs. bo Janie Conrad of Pacolet were employ lil ed to teach the first term under the ea new regime. Owing to a lack of fund- ce the term necessarily was a short one. ac The principal for the next term wa- in] James M. Brailsford now a prominent ro attorney of Orangeburg. Among others who have taught successful fir ' Old Sedalia Sell terms here since that time are: J. T. "b Butler, J. Moore Mars, now State a^. senator and prominent lawyer of Al>- ,Mi beville; Prof. C. B. Haynes, now prin- J* cipal of the school at Chesnee. In the early part of 1911, while I th< Prof. C. B. Haynes was principal of er< the school, the trustees, John M. ed West, J. Boyd Lancaster and W. J. F. bu Mayes, conceived the idea of replac- tri ing the old building with a new,one. th< Designs of different styles of bOild-, afj ings were obtained from Clemson" cot? Tni lege and the plan for the present at- be] tractive end commodious building was an selected. The building has three up- ?H to-date, well furnished school rooms, e' a hall that is used as a cloak room, and an auditorium which will com- los fortably seat three hundred people, let This building was erected at a cost hei of approximately $1,700. dis For several years there had been a ' lack of funds to run the school for as tin long a term as had been desired, so In th< 1913 an election was held to decide if tin 2 1-2 more mills should not be added W. to the special levy. There was a large wh majority in favor of increasing the his levy to 5 mills, and now West Springs fr< has the distinction of having the sec- ' ond highest special levy of any dis- nir trict in Union county. th< I The present term began October 5. em There was a large enrollment on the ye first day. Prof. Walter Y. Cooley, of scl Leesville, a graduate of Wofford col- fai lege, class 1911, is in charge as prin- mi cipal. Mr. Cooley is not an inexper- ed. ienced teacher by any means. He has 1 taught for several years. His edura- hai tion and former work as a teacher wh easily renders him one of the most the capable men who has ever taught ad< here. wo Mrs. Anna Johnson, who is making be her home at West Springs, has the th< charge of fourth, fifth and sixth Th grades. Mrs. Johnson is a graduate ma of Cooper-Limestone college and has pui had several years experience. tal Miss Bess Walter of Hampton is ; county will teach the first, second and tal third grades. Miss Walter is emi- scl nentlv Qualified for her nn.-liinn is a graduate of the Crocketsvilk1 wh high school and has taken special is courses in primary work at the sum- vei mer school for teachers at Rock Hill. r Along with these advantages, she has mi had several years experience in dif- sch ferent schools. Miss Walter has the tax distinction of being reelected to teach the by every board of trustees she has mi| worked for. j ? I . iNew Scdalia Si With the most competent and enusiastic teachers that can be securI, the co-operation of teachers, truses and patrons, West Springs can ok forward to one of the most sucissful ttV*ms that has ever been ught here. In view of these facts, ere is no reason why the school at est Springs should not be the equal not the superior of any rural school Union County. SEDALIA HIGH SCHOOL In February 1910, there was opened e present Sedalia school, which was e consolidation of the three small hools known as the Padgett's Creek dalia and Prospect schools. This nsolidation had been agitated for metime. For two years previous its consumation, it hail been very ergetieally urged, both in season id out. by Mr. Browning of the Selia community. Up to this time this section had en a part of the Cross Keys school strict, but it was found that the amtious aims of the people could not carried out while remaining a part the old school district; therefore,'a tition was gotten up to establish a w school district, known as Sedalia hool district. Xo. 19, which was rned by every citizen within its unds. The citizens responded very orally with subscriptions, both of sh and labor, and a plot of land, ntrallv located, containing three res, was secured from Mr. Rrownir, just above where the Prospect ad enters the main Columbia road. \ f ., i ti... "i,.. st idea was to erect a building costioolhouse. X from $700 to $800. The trustees this time consisted of Messrs J. E. nter, I. L. Bobo and W. C. Bobo; L. Browning was made chairman of J building committee. Interest in 5 project increased, and instead of icting the building first contemplat, one costing nearly $3,000 was ilt. This necessarily threw the disct badly in debt; in fact, $1,000 was 1 exact amount of this indebtedness _ ;er the building was completed. At s time, Mr. Browning was a mom- W r of the House from this county, J_ d he secured the passage of a bill owing the trustees to borrow monto cover this indebtedness. The cholson Bank & Trust company . ined this money at a low rate of >n- % est, and the entire debt has now k. en liquidated, so that the school strict is entirely free from debt. The board of trustees has remained 2 same throughout the entire life nf A j school district up to the present ne, except that two years apo, Mr. ^ , C. Hobo declined to serve longer, len Mr. A .J.

A year apo, 0i en the debt had been liquidated, s trustees saw their way clear to 1 another department to the school rk, and decided that music would a preat advantage to the pupils, so ?y purchased a handsome piano. " e present term, no extra charpe is T ,de in this department, and all the pils are allowed the privilepe of cinp music if they so desire.
