for spending little money Mr.. Nor
gan is also president of the bank The

helpful, some excellent and practical
PAPERS being read. The address by
Hon. julius E Boggs, of Pickens, on
Thursday evening was forcible, elo-

commended by all who were present.
His subject was ioyalty-loyalty to fam
ily, loyalty to community, loyalty to
county, loyalty TO State-when you
have these you have the good and true
citizen. We had The pleasure also of
having with US the same evening the

newspaper work, but who is now a
teacher. f5e spoke on South Car"lina
history, and told of the lack OF justice
to South Carolina done by the histories |
adapted for use in our common schools. |
All he pleaded for was justice. He was |
not severe on any one, but could sus
tain his criticisms by the facts. Tnere
is DO doubt we give too much attention
to foreign history and not enough to
the history of the town and State and
community in which we live. We
