oRPHANAGE BEQUEsT.
Through Efforts of Mr.. Orlando
Sheppard the Terrill Smith
Bequest VIII Erect In
dustrial Plant.

The late James Terrill. Smith of
IWilliston, S: c., during his life
time built on the grounds Of the
Connie Maxwell Orphanage cot.
Itage Of ten or twelve rooms, which
is called the "Terrill Smith Home. y
He then made his will in which he
devised all of his property with
slight exception to the Connie
Maxwell lOrphanage, and directed
that another home should be erected
from theSproceeds of his estate near
the cottage which he had erected
and which was to be called THE
Martha Smith Home;;" this home
called Martha Smith HomeY has
been erected since his death. He
provided in his will that this prop
erty should be rented out, and after
the expenses and repairs were paid,
that the balance should be paid to
the orphanage annually. 1t soon be-
came apparent to the trustees of
the orphanage that if this system
should be pursued, thas. the lands
would rapidly deteriorate and finally
become less and less valuable; and
thereupon the trustees placed the
matter in the hands of Mr.. Orlando
Sheppard with full power and au-
thorityfto do whatever he thought
best insthe premises
7 After visiting the property and
after conference with the executor,
he brought suit in the court of
equity for Barnwell county in order
to terminate the trust and to sell
the land, which has just been con
cluded,Y and in which full power
and authority was given to the
trustees to sell the land. This land
consists of about seven hundred
acres, situate. near Williston, and it
is very much the same grade :of,
lands as we find from Trenton to
Leesyille.
The trustees are very anxious to
sell this land as soon as possible,
and have determined with the pro
.ceeds 5of this sale to erect on the
ground Sof the orphanage an in

WHITE TOWN SCHOOL.
Commencement Exercises of
! Flourishing School Held
Friday, Splendid Pro-
gram and Addresses.

The commencement exercises Of
the White Town school were held
on Friday, May 18th. The forenoon
was occupied by the exercises on
the part of the children. Each and
every one Of them acquitted them
selves in a manner to reflect credit
on themselves and their teacher,
Mrs, Mamie Dorn Walker. The
dinner was In keeping with the
reputation of the White Town com
amuaity for abundance and hospi-
tality. There was an unusually
large crowd in attendance, and al
most every section Of the county
was3represented. in 1.-The gathering.
In the; afternoon there were short
addresses from Mr.. w. B. Cogburn,
DIR. ID. "A. j. Bell, Mr.. B. e.. Mich
olson and Rev. Luther White on
subjects relating to educational
work. The interest in education dis.
played By the people of this section
gives assurance Of the continued
prosperity and development Of this
section of Edgefeld county. The
people of this community have sup-i
.plemented the public school fund
with special tax. Some years ago
they built and equipped a COM
Portable school house, and there is
considerable talk of, enlarging it
to meet the needs of the growing
school.
Too much can not be said in
praise of the excellent work that has
been done in the White Town school
by the present teacher. The chill
dren evidenced in their recitations
and in the other parts of the ex-
iereises the most careful and compe-
tent training.l Also too much can
not be said of the hospitality of the
sterling citizens of this community.

the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. M.
Bell, of sacred memory and had
spent the greater partof her life in
this community with her sisters,
Mrs. j. T.. and @. Strom, until about
seven years ago when she accepted

she met and married MIR. N. w.

broke up housekee eping, thinking.
the end then near, to spend the last
days with her relatives but God
spared her much longer than was
expected, and at one time it was
thought possible for her toregain
eher health. She was so much i'm
proved that she vent back to house
keeping in the town of Edgefeld.
About three months ago she began
to decline SO rapidly that death was
expected long before it came.
While she suffered much and was
called to heaven in the bloom Of
life, being only about 81 years old,
she has not lived in vain. Her short
life was beautiful one. Her inf1u-
ence for good will be felt by those
who knew her best for years to
come. She leaves to mourn her loss

White Town school, Friday 18th,
inst. i do not hesitate to say that
White Town is the best rural COM
munity with which we are acquaint-
ed, and has the best school. Schools,
churches and roads are said to in
dicate peoples civilization, and
measured by this standard (roads
excepted these people are q progress
siye prosperous people.
The exercises consisting of dec
lamations, recitations, dialogues,
charades, etc., commenced prompt
ly at $3.50 O'Clock, continued with
out intermission until half past -.
We wish we could call the names
of each. one of the pupils, each one
doing great credit to him or herself,
but the school being large to do
each justice would more than fill
up The Advertiser. Suficei it to say,
that the entertainment was like
clock work, no prompting, not a
"bobble.'' Then came dinner, and
oh, my such a dinner. One man who
is perfectly healthy, but one of
"Pharaoh's lean kind,'' was told by
his doctor, that it would be impos-
sible for him ever to have any dis
ease, except a skin or bone disease,
must have felt chat there was no
danger of indigestion for. he put
himself on the outside of one of the
most enormous dinners in the histo-
ry of epicurism. And he was not
alone. There were people there from
Edgefeld, Troy, Mccormick, Plum
Branch, Parksville, Modoc, in fact,
seemed to be there from all over
the face of the earth, yetall did ea+
and were filled, and I saw the good
ladies take up many baskets Of frag-
ments. After a rest and the young
courting people had a tete-a-tete,
we were called back into the build
ing, anu were entertained by Mes
srs. Cogburn, Bell, Nicholson and
White. Clerk of court Cogburn
came first and made one of the
most practical talks / ever heard,
in fact was practicality itself.
DR.. d. A. ]. Bell came next de-
fning education, and had't clos
est attention throughout.
Hon. B. E. Nicholson was next
introduced, and gave as talk that
was replete with good suggestions
and advice, expressing himself as
pleased with the exercises and
school, and from his speech we feel
that it would not take much pres
sure to get Mr.. Nicholson to move
to White Town, so impressed was
he with the vigor and progressive
ness of these worthy people. His
speech was well received and high
ly spoken of.
Last but not. least came the pastor
Bro. L. B. White, who made a

trotters, but just as valuable also to
the short "tripper."
Take, for instance, the little mat

seasoned tourist takes with her a
negfigee, which she contends, does du-
ty as lounging robe, slumber robe and
bathrobe. Far more simple" she will

with the conveniences and elegances
in separate form"
This universal robe may be as col
ored as you like. 1t may be frilled
with lace and all bedecked with wash
ribbons, but it should be made of eth
err lawn, dimity, albatross or wash
silk, so that it may be passed over to
some French Trilby on the other

the day it was made. If were pes

and the butterfly brightly spotted with
red and brown. The idea in using oil
paint is so that the color will not wash
off should the little folks be caught
out In a shower.
To make the handles, select two
fine strands of reed, and buttonhole
stitch over them with raffla. Put a
loop of reed through each side of the
basket and through this slip the ends
of the handles, fastening firmly with
raffia.
To hold down the cover, little but
ton of reed and raffia is put on, such
as is found on any basket. The cover
is tied on with raffia from the wrong
side. A piece of the mating is put
in for division inside the basket. SO
that the sandwiches may be kept in
one side and the little cakes or fruit
in the other.

A Simple Exercise,

a simple exercise that has the ad
vantage of being practicable in any
moment of leisure is muscular con
traction and expansion of the aldo
men to keep 1t fiat.
Sit very erect in a chair or stand
with the shoulders we'll back. CLASP
the hands over the abdomen and with
out moving any part of the body quick
ly contract the abdominal muscles
Hold second, then relax quickly.
1t is important not to lift the chest
in these movements, though at first il
will be hard to prevent.
Do not exercise these muscles toe
long at a time. A minute is enough
at first, and never more than three
minutes continuously.
