Thanks Their White Friends.

The Times and Democrat has been
requested by the colored people Of
Norway to publish the following:
please allow me to say through
your worthy paper that the patrons
of the Norway colored school, de-
string to lengthen the school term,
tried to raise certain amount OF
money for that purpose. Just then,
the small poX scare caused them to
fail to do so. We then made an ap-
peal for help to our white friends of
Norway, who readily and most lib
orally made personal contributors
to the much-needed cause, and as
teacher and patrons of the said
school, we wish to extend to our
Norway white friend1 our highest ap-
probation and thanks. E. NJ"

Miss Adelaide Thurston in "Aiiss An

envy of Music. Monday night. The
play is miss Ananias," the author
Catherine Chisolm Cushing and the
managers, who are new only as far as
Miss Thurston is concerned, are
Messrs. Cohan and Harris. "Miss
Ananias" is a comedy dealing with a
lie. Wtather the lie is justifiable or
not remains to be seen. Of course
Miss Thurston is the liar, and that
she will prove tc be very attractive,
as we'll as a very innocent, sinner.
goes without saying. The unanimous
opinion of press and public in every
city where Miss Thurston has pre-
sented her new comedy seems to be
that Miss Ananias' is by far the
best play which this delightful star
has ever been provided with, ant
that her supporting company IS one
of the very best on the road this
season.

A SENSIBLE TALK TO THE YOUNG
- - WOMAN WHO KISSES.
Dorothy Dix Tells Her She is Losing
I /. E.NIn
Something Beautiful Every Time
- Strange Lips Meet Hers.

- Strange Lips Meet Hers.
!: dorothy Dix" writes great many
things that tend to elevate and make
girls purer and sweeter. She says
two young men recently wrote her
letter in which they asked her to
settle a dispute that has arisen be-
tween them. Here is her answer:
The point at issue is whether
girl who kisses a young man, to
whom she is not engaged to be mar
ried, displays thereby All affectionate
disposition or not. A contends that
she does, and asserts that he would
not marry any woman who did not.
like to kiss, while B takes the oppo-
site position on the subject.
AS far as my opinion Is concerned,
1 should say that any girl who kisses
man to whom she is not betrothed
and the wedding day set-shows
that she has an exceedingly affection
ate temperament. Entirely too af-
fectionate. Dangerously affectionate.
It likewise shows that she Is uttsrly
lacking in maidenly modesty and del
icacy. And it indicates that she is
a great many kinds of fool.
If were a man, would no more
pick out for a wife the girl that
would let any man with whom she
had a casual acquaintance kiss her
than I would go to florist shop ano
buy the battered, bruised, over blown
roses that had had their freshness
rubbed off by too much handling.
The girl and the rose with the bloom
on them for mine, every time.
This is also the opinion of most
men. It takes a man of very und1s-
eliminating taste to really care for
girl whose lips are free to every
Tom, Dick and Harry who comes
along. Of course, as long as wo-
man is young and good looking and
has nice red mouth pouted to
Cupid's bow, every man will kiss her
who can; but such kisses only make
him have a contempt for the girl, and
ready to believe any evil he may hear
OF her.
That kind of a girl Is not the sort
of a woman that fastidious man
wants to marry. His wife must have
kept her lips as austerely pure as
those of a saint; for every, man, In
| love is monopolist, and his eternal
creed is that his lady love shall be
fire to him, and ice to every other
man.

GRADED SCHOOL BUILDING.
Liberal Citizen of St. Matthews Helps
School Along.

The st. Matthews correspondent OF
The News and Courier says the "edu-
cational outlook in this community
was never brighter than now. Work
is rapidly progressing on the new
school building, being constructed by
Mr.. R. L. Ledford.
"Dr. T. H. Dreher, chairman OF the
board of trustees, has received q
check of $500 from DR.. W. T. c.
b. ces, for the library Of the school.
DR.. Bates also sent a check of 5000
to the president of the Civic League
of the town, Mrs E. Wimberly, which
will be expended mainly in beautify-
ing the grounds. The st. Matthews
graded school Is delightfully."- slru-
ated on the outskirts of sthe town,
upon a lot of five acres. 1T will be
made the most ideal spot In the
county.
"Dr. Bates, as everybody knows, is
a man of means; Is an ex-State Treas
urer and trustee Of the South Caro-
lima University. His handsome and
generous gift is greatly appreciated,
not only by the trustees and patrons,
but by the whole county.
"Next session another grade will
be added to the high school depart
ment, thus making possible better adj
vantages, as a preliminary to a col
lege training, or to fight the stern
battle of life successfully without COL
legiate opportunities"
The Times and Democrat records
with pleasure such acts as that of DR..
Bates. The lot on which stands the
H. G. Sheridan graded school in this
city, was donated to the city for
school purpose by Mr.. A. D. Web
ster, and his sister, Miss Josie Web
ster, when it became necessary To
erect a second school here. 1t IS a
valuable donation, being worth now
several thousand dollars, and We re-
fer to it again with pleasure.

COUNTY FAIR WANTED.
The Chamber of Commerce Talks Of
Holding One.

An enthusiastic and important
meeting of the Chamber of Com
.nerce was held on Wednesday ev-
ening, and matters of interest to the
city and county were discussed by the
members present.
The feasibility of holding fal1
here during the month of October
next in connection with a carnival
to help defray expenses was consid-
cred.
From the discussion on Wednesday
night, it was clearly shown that there
is a strong disposition to convert the
corn show into a county fair for the
exhibition of all kinds of country
produce.
This would be a good thing for
both the town and the country folks,
and we hope the fair will be held
The coming together of the people
would be a good thing for US all,
and the good accomplished in that
way would more than repay the ex-
pense and trouble of holding the
fair.
The chamber offers prize to the
person handing in the phrase or mot
to chosen by the committee from the
chamber to be placed upon the boost
er buttons that are to be sold here.
It was suggested, as the next meet
ing of the chamber of commerce is
one for the election of officers, that
big booster meeting be held and a
banquet served. It is the idea 20
have some important speakers pres
ent for the occasion.
f. C. Warren, manager Of the spe-
cial edition of The Evening News
that is to boost Orangeburg, was pres
ent and offered some good sugges-
tions to advertise Orangeburg. He
wanted the chamber to take page
in the edition.
Secretary ]. P. Matheney, who has
accomplished much for Orangeburg
during his service as secretary, an
nounced to the body that he would
have to resign as secretary, as he
was engaged himself in business that
will take him away from Orange
burg. His successor will be elected
at the next meeting.
