Macbeth Street School I'lace of Meeting.?Fine Attendance?Many Good Features. Union county colored teachers held their Field Day Friday, March 24th. It was a grand success "from every point of view. By 10 o'clock a great host of people had gathered at Macbeth Street school, where the exercises were held. There were teachers, pupils, ministors and patrons from every section of the county and many distinguished visitors from other parts. Promptly at 10 o'clock the meelthg was called to order by A. A. Sims, president of the association, and devotion was conducted by the local pastors. An hour was then given the pastors and visitors for brief addresses. Their remarks were interesting and they encouraged the work. At 11 o'clock County Superintendent of Education J. H. Hope and City Superintendent of Education Davis Jeffries came in and after listening to a brief musical program prepared by Macbeth Street school they both rriade strong addresses that were interesting and helpful to the people at large. The audience as a whole was filled with enthusiasm and felt much encouraged. Among the visitors who made strong addresses was C. C. Spalding I of Durham, N. C.p one of the leading business negroes of America. He electrified the audience both day and night. Splendid delegations came from Columbia, Spartanburg, Newberry, Chester and Cherok*. many of whom spoke and added great effect to the occasion. There wore f>0 teachers present and half of the schools in the county were well represented in the school exhibits. The exhibits were large and1 very excellent. The needle work and drawings were special features. Macbeth Street school had a large exhibit in all department but in points of excellency Jonesville, Carem, Carlisle, Santuck, Maple Ridge, Sedalia and Red Point shared the high honors. At 2 o'clock a large reception was given the visitors by the patrons of Union. In the afternoon the athletics were held in West Union, where the crowd went in a line of march with hundreds of children in line. Union and Jonesville divided honors even. The occasion was closed 1IV u mncipal nrn. gram at night by the teachers. SANTUC Santuc, March 29.This town was visited by a big fire Monday night, when the graded school house was completely destroyed. This happened or was discovered at or near midnight. Not a thing in the building was saved. A new piano had just been installed, and was lost. Quite a number of chairs and perhaps some of them belonging to the Camp of the Koodmen of the World who had loaned the n as an entertainment was soon to have been held by the school. There is no fire fighting apparatus here, and after a fire gets a good start there is no chance to extinguish it, and on this occasion many never knew of the fire until it had burned out. An old barn several hundred yards away caught, hut was saved, hut the leaves in the grove around the Baptist church caught about a dozen times. I understand there was insurance on the building. No one is sure how the fire originated. The stove flues were good. There was a rehearsal that afternoon, until late, and, more than one thinks it might have been from cigarette smoking, because anywhere, any time, any place, in anybody's company, it is fashionable and they may drop a cinder down. In all probability this will bring the school here to a close for this session, though I have not heard from the trustees or teachers. There were before this, plans for building a new and more modern building and that may be ready for the next session.

" AN OBITUARY. Adamsburg, S. C., March 28, 1916. Whereas, by the tragic hand of accident, Sovereign F. M. Adams was stricken suddenly and unto death on the 6th of March, 1916; and Whereas his acfiHpnt. and dpnth has come as terrible shock, to his family, | to his community, to his county and > to his fellow Sovereigns; therefore Be it resolved, That we bow in humble submission to an inscrutable Providence, which our finite reason 1 cannot comprehend and yet an un- \ shakable faith tells us is overruled by a God too wise to err, and too good ! to deal harshly. That our dearest sympathies and tenderest concern go out to the beI reaved wife and fatherless children in their terrible loss and sorrow. That from association of long standing, as neighbor, friend and brother Sovereign, we, tool, feel a deep and personal loss, and wo. would not be true to his memory and the life that he lived, if we did not bear testimony that in his death our county 1 has lost one of its best citizens, our Camp has lost one of its worthiest sovereigns, and all of us who livea near him have lost one of our best J neighbors. , Finally, we commend his spirit to j God from whence it came and pray : that his mantle mav fall nnnn hes>rt? and shoulders worthy to hear it, and i that a copy of these resolutions be presented to his loved ones, and published in The Union Times.
