MISS NANCE AT O'NEALL.
Delivers Intensely Interesting Address
Patrons Anxious to Establish High
School.

The people of the O 'Neall section
of this county are making efforts to
establish high school under the
provisions Of the high school law
passed by the Legislature.
A mass meeting was held at the
school house OIL Saturday. There
was large and interested number
of people present.
Prof. Hand had been invited to
be present but wired he could not
come. Miss Mary II. Nance, presi-
dent of the Rural School Improve
1nent association, of South Caro-
lima, was present, however, and de-
llvered most interesting and in
structive address. Miss Nance was
presented by Col. E. H. Aull, who
spoke briefly of the great work she
is doing i'll this State for the I'M
provement Of the rural schools and
the cause of the education of the
masses.
Miss Nance spoke for more than
an hour and held the closest atten-
tiqn of her hearers. She is deeply
i'll earnest III her work and i'm
presses her earnestness upon her
hearers and there is no doubt that
good fruit will result from her Wis.
it to O'Neall. Already all election
has been ordered and it is believed
the people will vote for the est2b-
llshment Of the high school. The
only trouble will be III overcoming
some Of the technicalities thrown
around the law by the State board
which make it rather difficult for a
rural community to secure one Of
these schools.
A short address OH education
was made by DR.. Pugh, of the Co.
lumbia College. DR.. Pugh is a
native of this section and is HIM
self much interested in the estab-
llshment of high school.
Everybody should be interested
in the improvement of the rural
schools.
