Mrs. Jas. S. Cochran
Millinery

Woman's love, for the artistic
in millinery will always be fully
gratihed in the magnificent line
of exclusive styles shown by Mrs.
las. S. Cochran, our leading mil
liner, who has had experience in
the art of fine millinery with some
of the best wholesale houses in
New York, and other eastern cit
les, for several years. Mrs. Coch-
ran first identified herself in Abb
beville as a milliner of knowledge
and skill some ten years ago.
She first came to Abbevllle as
milliner for C. w. Kendall. Later
she accepted a position with A.
M. Smith, one of our leading
merchants, after having charge OF
the millinery department for sew
eral years she opened millinery
parlors of her own on the public
,quare where she has had three
seasons of most excellent patron
age from our best and most crltl-
cal customers in Abbeville and
surrounding country.
Her collection Of millinery each
season is varied and complete,
perfect in style, perfect in mate
rial, perfect in workmanship, in
fact perfection is reached in her
millinery parlors, and for the wo-
man who appreciates perfect har-
mony in design and coloring, and
that indehnable something called
style will find all these carried out

Abbeyi!Ie City Schools

The educational interests OF
Abbeville are, or ought to be, OF
paramount Importance; tor, there
are no other interests which
touch, and that very vitally, so
many of our people. Our best
citizens, if they take time to think
over these matters carefully, must
rest under the firm CONVICTION
that our political, social and bus
iness interests are of conpara-
lively small Importance when con-
sidered in connection with that
which enters into the home-llte OF
almost every family in AbbevllIe
the proper training, mental and
moral, of the rising generation.
Should there be any question
or disagreement, then. among
good citizens as to providing am
pie means for the proper conduct
of our schools-for putting the
best teachers available into build
ings that represent the best
thought and achievement IN
SCHOOL architectural
BY an act of the Legislature at
its session of 1891, the town Of
Abbeville, with a small territory
Immediately adjacent. was set
apart as a separate school district,
and its trustees were made ID BODY
corporate.> Under this act the
trustees were empowered to order
an election en- the questions OF
issuing bonds for the erection OF
suitable school buildings and levy
ing a special tax to provide for
the maintenance of the schools.
Upon both Of these questions
the vote was in the affirmative.
and when, in November, 1892.
the board called the citizens to-
gether, made report Of their d.

in them during several years OF
service as school trustees. Four
members of the board, Messrs.
w. A. Calvert, VIM. Syfan, ].
E. McDavid and J. Howard
Moore, have been in office only a
few months, but have shown a
commendable activity in school
affairs, and being successful busi-
ness and professional men, will
doubtless cooperate heartily with
their fellow trustees in doing all
they can to advance the educa-
tional interests of the community.
With an enlightened public
sentiment aroused, with a wide
awake, intelligent board of trus-
tees, with experienced, progress
i've teachers, we may we'll expect
the motto of our schools to be
"onward and upward. -

these suggestions were carried

Thus ample provision was
chcerfuily made by the voters OF
the district for building. equip

schools.

Vile to take up a different line ot
work, and the trustees selected
Mr.. L. w. Dick for the vacancy.
Mr.. Dick had just finished his
eighth year as head of the schools
in Aiken, S. c., and came to Alb
beville with very high recommen-
dations. That he has met the
expectations of trustees and pat
rons seems to be evidenced by the
fact that he has, for six years,
been annually reelected to con-
tinue the work he undertook in
the fall OF 1904. IT..
During his administration the
schools have been. growing stead
lily in popularity and efficiency,
and, during the present school
year, some wonderful forward
strides have been made. Not
only has the number of teachers
in the first, or lowest, three grades
of the school been doubled, but a
separate organization for the high
school grades has been made,
and, within the last few weeks,
the High school has been moved
into the elegant new building pro-
vided for this department of the
school work.
The superintendent, the princi-
pal of the grammar school, and
almost the entire corps Of teach
ers have been reelected for an
other year, and these will show
their appreciation Of the conf
dence reposed in them by redoub-
led efforts in the great cause OF
education.
A fact worthy of note just here
is that Hon. Frank B. Gary, who
was elected secretary of the board
when this body was first organ
lied, is still a member of the
board, having served continuously
as secretary up to the beginning
of the present year. Though dlf-
ferert lines of work have claimed
his attention, though various Po-
litical honors have been heaped
upon him, Mr.. Gary's interest in
our schools has never abated, and
he has given freely of his time
and talent for their uplifting.
DR.. F. E. Harrison is the very
active and efficient chairman oi
the board, and on his shoulders
falls most of the work, as it's his
duty to look after the financial in,
terests of the schools, to guarc
against any extravaganza, and tc
see that the best possible service
is rendered in return for the mon.
ey expended.

from his horse whise riding in the

1t is believed, he sustained a severe
injury to his head, and that DIR. Cush-
