TRAVELLING LIBRARIES.

The scarcity OF books in the
country neighborhoods is appalling.
y large number of the homes contain
absolutely nothing outside of the
children's school readers. Many are
contcnted with the county paper and
Il Bible. Once in II while you come
upon an assortment Of dime novels,
and rarely upon good book or mag

Teachers are at first astonished to
find how little the children remember
from school to school, then surprised
that they remember anything.

REAL ESTATE IN PICKENS COUN-
TI. \ GOOD OPpORTUNITY no

ME VERY BEST COL N'rRN

The opportunities afforded in Pick
ems county for stock-raising and
dairying are uneXcclled even by the
BEST portions Of what is known as
the stock-rniSing States. With Il Smal II
outlay of capital and q little work
this country would afford some of the
finest pasture lands in the world and
horses, mules, cattle and sheep can
be raised here at II large profit
There is no doubt that the best of
grazing grasses can be raised and all
the pasture lands would be watercd
by clear, limped, refreshing springs
and streams, and when once the lands
have been set in grasses they will re-
main productive for grazing purposes
for all time, with little attention
to the exclusion of worthless under
growth and weeds. Long winters, the
doom Of stOckraising, are unknown
here, while very little forage would
have to be prepared for the keeping
of stock AZ compared with other less
favored regions.
Evidences of industry and thrift are
on every hand. The town of Easley
is fast growing into city and
with the impetus in growth lately
taken on 1t Is, no doubt, destined to
become one of the first cities in the
upper portion of the State, and that
at no far off day.
w. A. Hamilton, of Easlcy, has
several thousand acres Of improved
farm lands for sale. lie has lands in
bodies ranging from 100 to 1000
acres, all convenient to the very best
markets where competition keeps
trade alive. Any northern farmers
wishing to move south will find it to
their advantage to write Mr.. IIamil-
ton before buying. He gives prompt
attention to all business commune
cations, and takes pleasure IN giving
correct information about the prop
erty and the section.

THIS is WHAT EASLEY PEOPLE
THINK OF TIE EASLEY
GRADED SCHOOL,

EaSlcy is coming to the front and
| that at an exceedingly rapid pace
This is doubtless due to the determi-
nation, energy land united efforts of
her successful, highly cultured, and
| refined citizens; but the pride of the
town is the Easley Graded School.
This school was organized to satisfy
the demand for better literary ad-
vantages, and to give greater oppor-
tunltles at the least possible cost.
IN short, we may say that the chief
aim, or end, of this school is to pre-
pare its students for more complete
living. Supported and upheld, in
every way, by the citizens of the
town, us it has been, it has been
steadily growing in numbers and adj
fancIng its curriculum until it's
Course OF Study is now parallel with
and equal to that of the best graded
schools of our State. This school re-
CARDS vague, indefinite, general ideas
as wothlcSs because they are useless;
but it encourages and emphasizes
thorough, systematic, practical work
Children are taught to do right-not
from fear of punshmcnt--but be-
cause they should.
Every effort is used by the teachers
to place all the Influences around the
children which go to form character.
The absence of Il dispensary, or any
other similar evil, is itself evidence
OF the high estimate placed upon
EaSlcy. The tuition fees of this
school arc SO very small that they
are in reach Of almost every one.
The good citizens of EaSley throw
open their hoSpitablc homes and re-
ccivc students as bordcrS-alm0st as
adopted childrcn-at rates astoniSh-
ingly low.
The large enrolment and the large
number of students attending l2asley
Graded School from this county and
adjoining counties are evidences of
its exceptional educational advanta-
gcs.
70 see the Easlcy Graded School is
proving itself great blessing not
only TO the town and surrounding
community but to the county as well,
it is only necessary to glance at the
list of school teachers in this county,
or the forty teachers in attendance
at the pickens County Summer
School last simmer, only fourteen
were graduates or eX-students of
Easlcy Graded School. Two of these
teachres are now in attendance at
school, One student of IIasley
Graded School stopped ut Christmas
to teach school for three months and
is now expecting to resume his
studies in school.
If we are to predict Ensley Graded
Schools future, Judging it by it's
successful past and its prosperous
and progressive present, how can we
predict anything except unbounded
success in every way?

ZcnShiD among themselves

The thoroughness of the work is
evidenced in that Il six grade pupil
successfully passed the County Board
Of Examiners in February, and was
awarded certificate to teach. The
course of study comprises nine
grades. If the work done in the re-
naming three grades is us thorough
as it is through the sixth grade, and
there is abundant reason to believe
IT is, there is no reason why this
school should not be the pride of the
colored people of the town and
county. Such of them as have child
rem to school would do well to put
them in school here instead of send
ing them away where the cost is
much more and perhaps the training
not us thorough.
