MEANDERINGs..

During our visit to the Male Academy
at Williamson, We were very much
pleased to note the splendid school house
they have erected and furnished, since
We were pupil in "the old school house
that stands upon the hill" Prof. Earle
Grady, who is in charge Of this school, is
young man who is deeply interested in
the work he is doing, and who is doing
good work. He is patiently at work,
and his patrons will find it hard to get
q teacher who will strive harder to ad-
vance their children. Williamson in
the past has produced more young men
who are holding places of honor and
profit than any town in the country to the
number of it's inhabitants. But the boys
of Williamson should remember the
Pickles, Horizons, Browns, G. E. Prince,
John g. Clinkacales, John Anderson and
others, were hard students, and applied
themselves while in school. And if they
keep up the former record of William.
ston in this respect, they, too, must not
trust to anything except their own efforts
and application in the school room. In
this particular young men are peculiarly
the architects of their own fortunes.
While in Williamson ne called at the
Female College, and spent an hour or
more very pleasantly, indeed. Verify it
is pleasure to see the good work being
done by DR.. Lander and his assistants.
1t would be impossible to say to what
extent Williamson and the surrounding
country generally, is indebted to the Will
liamston Female College. To this in
stitution ne may attribute, in measure,
the success of the young men above
referred to. From it they drew their in
spiration, aud we're urged on to nobler
manhood full of usefulness. This Col
lege is one of the best equipped in the
County, being supplied with the latest
and best improvements and helps. They
keep posted on the current news of the
day, which is read at the close of each
days work. Chemistry is taught by
actual practical work, and not simply by
theory. The closing exercises are very
impressive.
The school at Pelzer is one among the
best in the County, being supplied with
good maps, charts, black.boards and
teachers. Miss Lou Carpenter, the Prin.
cipal, is not to be excelled, and her
assistants, Misses Hard and McLees, sre
following close in her steps. The people
of Pelzer should appreciate what has
been done for them by Capt. Smythe.
They enjoy rare educational opportuni-
ties. We think they do appreciate these
advantages and privileges, and ARE i'm.
proving them.
At Piedmont We found Mrs. Goldsmith
and Miss Carrie Marshall faithfully
teaching on the Anderson side. The
Piedmont Company have erected very
handsome building on this side for a
school house and Church combined. We
were very much pleased with the efforts
of the teachers, and the liberality of the
Company. The Anderson side has a
primary and intermediate department..
Mrs. Clara Rowell, the Superinten.
dent, is the right person in the right
place. She is doing q great and good
work at Piedmont, and ne regret to learn
that she has resigned the Superinten.
dency of the Piedmont schools. It will
be difficult to get another as good.
The schools at Williamson, Pelzer and
Piedmont hold two sessions each day.
One in the morning and one in the after.
noon.
