EDUCATIONAL ADVANCEMENT
Handsome and Modern School Build
ing Recently Erected at Cost of
Five Thousand Dollars.

About thirty years ago the unrest
for better school advantages that
brought forth public graded schools
in all progressive communities led to
the establishment of the high school
at Prosperity. Thus. it is said, was
delayed for longer period the pub
lie graded school at Prosperity and
the erection of the school building
which is now a source Of pride to all
the citizens of that community.
Beginning with Prof. Welch in 1879,
the school has had fourteen princi-
pals.
The handsome school building Of
today erected at a cost of $4,000, was
the natural result of the march Of
progress which has characterized
Prosperity during the, past decade.
The people of the community deter
mined that larger and more modern
quarters were necessary for nm educa-
tional centre, and they voted the
bonds for the necessary money to
build it. 1t was through the untiring
efforts of Representative Elbert H.
Aull and Senator George S. Mower
that the bill was passed by the legis-
lature providin" for the holding Of
the election.
The bill empowered committee
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1906-07-06

bonds voted, and very soon a desir-
able lot was purchased, and the Pros
perity graded school moved from the
old high school building near the CO.
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens depot
to its new home, "the Hill," in No.
vember, 1905.
With this, her second public build
ing, Prosperity is equipped to do the
educational work necessary in COM
munity of her material advancement,
and the educational work necessary to
aid her municipal and civic improve
ment, and uplifting.

japanese lacquer is very curious
substance. A simple tree sap. like

hol, against boiling water, against al
most all known agents. The lacquer
tree of Japan is very large. 1t is al
ways cut down at the age of forty
years, as thereafter it begins to dry
up. Each tree yields on its demolition
about six barrels of lacquer sap. The
japanese are very careful not to let
foreigners into the secrets OF lacquer
