THE HIGH SCHOOL sTANoARD.
The Future Course OF these schools
Will Attract Attention.

Columbia, Sept. 13.-For some
time the State Board OF Education
has been working to secure stand
ardization in the high schools of the
State. Practically every college now
measures its entrance requirements
In units. The Association of South
ern Colleges has adopted this method
and at least three South Carolina
Colleges are requiring IA units for
admission to their freshman classes.
Ill order to secure recognition of
thorough high school work, the State
Board Of Education, on September Z,
adopted the following resolutions:
THAT State High School diploma
signed by the chairman and the sec
retary Of the State Board and by the
high school inspector, be given to
every pupil completing fourteen
standard units in any course of
study in any of the public high
schools of the State of South Caro-
lima
The graduate Of any high school
can. under this resolution, secure the
State Board diploma, provided the
school actually does Ia units of high
school work. 1t Is not required that
the high school be State aided, Tor
number of the best city schools in
the State are operating under spe-
cial acts of the General Assembly and
not under the general school law. 1t
Will be interesting to see how many
secondary schools in South Carolina
will meet the requirements.

EbcneZcr News Notes.

EbeneZer, Sept. 13.-Special: We
have been having quite a revival Of
religion in our community. Rev.
Marett conducted a weeks meeting
at Wolf Stake, resulting in fourteen
additions to the church. These were
baptized at the old Flat Rock mus
ter ground last Sunday morning
There was quite crowd, as usual,
to witness the ceremony. We will be
excused for mentioning the fact that
Mr.. and Mrs. John Thomas, who live
on the Old Rock, entertained quite a
number of their relatives and
friends that day. Uncles, aunts and
cousins to the number of twenty or
more, gathered there, but John and
his good lady were equal to the oc-
casiOn and made every one feel at
home.
We have had very interesting
meeting at Ebenezer Presbyterian
church. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Wilcox,
was assisted by the Rev. Mills, of
Clemson, who is a very able minister,
and his preaching will be long re-
membered by the people of this COM
munity.
Mrs. Ogg, of Columbia, visited the
family of Tom Owens last week. She
was accompanied by her little daugh-
ter, Ruth, who was quite i'll during
her visit.
Our school at this place closed last
Friday, and Mr.. Hughs came over
and gave the children a talk, which
was highly appreciated by both chill
dren and patrons. This school was
taught by Miss Bessie Wood, of the
New Hope section. She seems to
have given general satisfaction and
performed her duties faithfully.

RAJ years, ana much OF that time 10
her bed. She was a patient and re-
signed sufferer, and curing the long
years Of her declining health and
strength calmly awaited the end,
ready to answer the summons at any
moment. She was consistent men,
Der of the Presbyterian church. In
which, until her declining health
prevented, she was an earnest and
active worker. Her long life had

maze friends. She was about 81
years Of age.

ment will, however, be in the family
lot in Westview cemetery some time

Robins, an t'other two was Miss
Duncanses from Clumbia. Well.
four purity gals in one house was
more than these here boys could
stant 'thout having party, so Miss

way he talked you'd a thought the
poor gal had done some'n turribel.
Then he done that Miss Early the

sorry fer 'em jest to hear it told.
When he finished his say everybody
