CHANCE TO WIN APPOINTMENT.
Vacancy at Naval Academy, Annapolis,
to be Filled by Congressman johnson.

Washington, Feb. 10. Congressman
Joseph 7. Johnson has vacancy for
the Naval Academy at Annapolis, which
must be filled by the first of March, and
competitive examination will be held
in Spartanburg for that purpose Feb
ruary 81 and %. The examination will
be conducted by Profs. Frank Evans,
w. G. Blake and H. T. Shockley.
The examination is open to all bona
fide residents of the Fourth District
between the ages of sixteen and twenty
years. 1t is a splendid opportunity for
a youth to secure thorough education,
and at its completion receive desir-
able position with the navy of Uncle
Sam, where further advancement will
depend largely on his ability and appi-
cation. The resignation of B. r. T.
Todd, of Laurens county, causes this
vacancy. The ambitious boys of the
Fourth District will not let this chance
pass them by without giving it trial
The successful contestant at the Feb
ruary examination will receive the ap-
pointment.

SCHOOL BUILDING
CONTRACT IS LET
Awarded to II. L.. HertZOg,
of Spartanburg.
TO COST ABOUT $4,000
Building Will be Located on BarksdaIe
Lot and Will be Handsome Two
Story Structure.

At meeting of the board of trustees
of the Laurens City Schools, held yes
terday, the contract for constructing
the new graded school building was
awarded to Mr.. E. L. Hertzog, the well
known Spartanburg contractor who is
engaged in building the Enterprise
Bank building in this city. There were
three other bids submitted to the board,
but Mr.. HertZog's was accepted over
very strong competitors. The amount
of the successful bid is about $32, 900.
This bid does not include heating plant
and some other equippage, the Install
ing of which will run the total cost of
the building up to $35, 900 or $40, 200.
AS soon as the contract is completed
Mr.. Hertzog will begin work and it is
expected to have the new building
ready for occupancy for the next school
session.
The new school house is to be located
on the handsome nine acre lot on Lau-
rens street bought of DR.. John A.
Barksdale which was purchased
some time ago. 1t is probably one
of the finest sites for this purpose any
where in the city, having fine grounds
and ample shade, and centrally located.
The plans for the school building
were drawn by Edwards, Walter &
Parnham, architects of Atlanta, and
call for two-story building with base
ment. 1t will be 1873 feet by rs feet,
with twelve class rooms, large assem-
bly, room and auditorium, manual train
ing room, furnace room, etc. The
building will be of brick, trimmed in
stone and terra Gotta, with gravel roof.
In short, it will be modern in every
particular, and finely equipped through
out.
Bonds for the purpose of erecting a
new Graded school buiF lg were voted
by the city several months ago, and it
was the intention of the trustees to
build last summer, but one matter and
another served to delay these plans un-
til it was decided to wait for spring
weather to undertake the work.
The Barksdale home will be removed
to point nearer the street and used
for the home of the superintendent and
other members of the faculty, perhaps.

THE SUCCESS OF
COL. PRESTON HIX
has Achieved Prominence in the Field of
Electrical Work in the City of
New York.

The following reference to a native
Laurens man is taken from the Colum-
bia State of recent date;
Many of the older Columbians will
remember Col. w. Preston Hix, for
merly photographer of this city. He
was member of the firm of Hix e.
Wearn and later was in the business by
himself. After some years here he
moved to New York city, where he and
his son have achieved much success in
electrical work. The Electrical World.
one of the largest eleutnieal journals in
the country, says:
Col. w. Preston Hix, of New York
city, who was at one time very promi-
nent and active in the electrical field
and has more lately been engaged in
acetylene development for the Com
mercial Acetylene company of New
York, of which he was manager. is re-
turning again to electricity. IN 1851 he
went with the old Edison Electric Light
Company, which sent him West, and
while there he made the famous con-
tract for lighting the Louisville exposi-
tion with 5000 Edison lamps. After
that came similar work at the New Or
leans, st. Louis and other expositions.
He then went actively into the business
of company organization and founded
Edison companies in Topeka, Kansas
City and st. Paul. The largest piece
work of this kind was the formation OF
the Philadelphia Edison company with
Q capitalization of $4,000, 600. This
generally fatiguing work was followed
by rest of two or three years, when
Col Hix took w the Development of
later INVENTIONS, and then joined with
Commodore p. 6. Benedict In pushing
the use Of acetylene gas, now so widely
known, Col. Hix believes, however
that electrical development is now
reaching new staGe of expansion, and
That the opportunities for new appli-
ances or apparatus of merit are greater
than they ever were in the old days.

d. ID. Dixon Shot by Negro at Saw
Mill Near MountviIIe..Negro Slight.
ly Wounded in Turn.

Mountville, Feb. 10.-Messrs. Willie
aipp, Ransom Whatley and Morton
Fuller are all advocating a higher rate
of school tax and greater acreage in
catnip. Willie has the advantage in
number as he can truthfully boast OF
twins while Ransom and Morton think
that any shortage in number is fully
made up in size and sweetness. So all
are happy, Willing away the evening
and midnight hours with chanting lula
bies.
Last Saturday while talking with one
of our leading farmers about holding
cotton we counted six farmers, all liv-
ing in sight of each other. who still
have over one hundred bales of cotton
of last years unsold crop. Four of
these are members of the Farmers
Union, the other two are not, but just
the same are aiding in the struggle of
controlling prices of their own products.
The two ginneries at this place have
ginned about three thousand bales this
season. the greatest number ever
ginned here amy one year, and nearly a
thousand above the average crop. This
speaks we'll for both farmers and gin
ners.
Prof. Hand, of Columbia, met his ap.
pointment here Friday afternoon as
was announced last week and delivered
a splendid address. For one hour he
kept his audience intently interested
while he produced facts proving beyond
doubt that the people of this State are
not awake to education and in many in
stances are really Indifferent to the
proper training of their children. Mr..
Hand is great educator and good
speaker, but he seemed especially
happy and enthused in his subject on
this occasion.
Information reached here Saturday
that Mr.. d. d, Dixon was shot by a
negro, Lank Burnside, at his saw mill
five miles below here Saturday morn
ing. 1t seems that Lank was on the
mill yard though without special busi-
ness and overheard Mr.. Dixon speak to
one of his hands about feeding the
mules. He remarked to the hand af-
forwards that he Uank) would allow
no white man to talk to him that way.
When Mr.. Dixon heard of this remark
he approached Lank, who acknowledged
he made the assertion. At Mr.. Dixon's
request to leave the yard he negro
hesitated and Dixon struck bim Lank
pulled his pistol and fired twice, one
ball taking effect in the thigh Mr.
Dixon returned the fire and the darkey
ran, receiving two or three very slight
wounds. 1t is said that Burnside's 8
reputation is not at all an enviable one.
