THE SCHOOL.
A MASS MEETING
The Citizens Vote for a
Secondary School.

In compliance with a call issued
sOme days previous, a meeting Of the
citizens of Sequachee and vicinity was
held at the School house, Saturday,
July 13, 1896, at 1000 a. m.
Mr. 5. NJ, Lofty, Chairman, and
Mr.. Mark Martin, Clerk of the
School Directors of the 7th district
We're present.
The meeting was called to order
by Mr.. VIM. Owen, and Mr.. Martin
was chosen chairman of the meeting
which he declined, and Mr.. VIM. O.
wen was chosen Chairman of the
meeting, and Mr.. Thomas H. Hill, Of
the News, was chosen secretary.
Mr.. Owen on taking the chair stat
ed the object of the meeting to be
looking to higher education, and to
request the directors. to establish q
secondary school in the district. 1t
seemed hardship to many who had
children who had passed the primary
stage to be obliged to send their chill
dren long distance and at great ex-
pense to get secondary tuition. Our
object should be to advance educa-
ton by all the means IN our power
and give the children and teachers
every reasonable facility.
Establish secondary scnool here
and it would be an inducement fol
people to send their children and ev-
en- to come themselves to live in Sc
quachce. 1t might be SAID that the
education that they were getting
was equal to tFat obtained by theil
parents and grandparents, but thai
had nothing to d , with 1t. The con
ditiOn OF things have changed, and VIZ
must be abreast of the needs OF tht
times. The question for the meeting
to decide now was: Do you wan
better education and a secondar,
school, and he hoped the matte
would be thoroughly discussed
Mr. L. w. GabeI spoke strongly
in favor of establishing a secondar,
school.
Mr.. John 7. Boyd said he appreci
ated the condition of things and dc
sired that the principles of the Con
stitutiOn of the United States guaran
teeing every citizen equal rights an,
privileges be not lost sight of. IL

this Office which are open for public
inspection, but not to be loaned to
anyone indefinitely. This also ap-
plies to our copy Of the school laws.
BY and by we are going to ask the
people to help make the driveway
and complete the laying out of the
grounds in front and side of the
church. What has been done has
paid for doing. We feel sure the
people will not fail to complete the
plan.

LOST THE POOL FOR A SHILLING

payne Bottle and a Joke.
One of the devices to relieve the tedi-
UNI of even the record breaking voyages
of the present day is to have pool upon
the run of the ship from eight bells noon
until eight bells noon the following day.
Beginners forget that in westerning a
day nowadays is almost twenty-five
hours On board the Campania April %
a well-known jeweler was the volunteer
auctloneer. After a good deal of differ
ence of opinion, owing to the persistent
fox terrier, it was left to a show of hands,
and it was decided to sell the run from
sos to $50 knots.
The twenty-five numbers were placed
in hat, and John Jacob Aston was
awarded No. 51S. When it came to the
auction the allotted numbers were put
up for competition, each passenger being
at liberty to bid as high as he chose, and
in the event of the owner of the original
allotment buying in his number for, say,
80 shillings, he would contribute that
amount to the pool If he allowed his
number to be purchased by some one
owner received f. back from the pool.
Mr.. Astor's number (51S) was bid up to
81 shillings. when he smiled and let the
other man have it for 50 shillings.
The high field,'' the numbers over $50,
was then put up and after a spirited fight
was sold for s guineas. The low field
was then offered-the numbers under 800.
The weather had been lovely all day and
Il big run was confidently expected. The
ship has a record of $50 knots. No soon,
er had the latter sale begun than Capt.
Jack Miley, who was once James Fiske,
Jr. secretary, took big champagne bot
tie from the table and, stepping into the
passageway, blew over the mouth of the
hottie making a sound eyactly like a fog
horn 1t was getting dark. but even
above the chatter of the smoking-room
the long 'toots' were heard. Mr. Astor's
ears are excellent. He bought the low
field for f14 los. When the run was
posted the next day the number SIS that
he had let go for a shilling won the pool
of SAT los, or about 1927 .5O.-New York

HANDSOMEST OAK.
Massive, Symmetrical Tree, the Pride
of South Carolina

A Massive, Symmetrical Tree, the Pride
of South Carolina.
What, SO far as we can judge from our
observations, is the most massive, sym
metrical and imposing tree in Eastern
North America is live oak, Quercus Vir-
giniana, standing on one side of the en-
trance to Drayton Manor house, on Ash
ley river, near Charleston, S. c. The
home of the Drayton family, handsome
red brick Eliza bethan mansion. was built
while South Carolina was British col
ony, and it is said that the site of the
house was selected on account of this
tree, although as the live oak grows very
rapidly, it is not impossible that it was
planted with its mate on the other side of
the drive when the house was first built.
At the present time the short trunk girths
70 feet 4 inches at the smallest place be-
