4 NS~~Se~ :
by the deft fingers Of the fair young
pupils and the principal Mrs. M.
E. Walker. Prof. West, leommander
of the Parksville school bore him
self as dignifed Commander.
The word now comes that COM
missioner Watson could ndt be here,
and the meeting was converted into
genuine educational rsily. Col.
Talbert in command, introduced our
efficient county superintendent of
education, Prof. w. WsFuller. To
undertake to report this speech so
replete with good advice and en-
couraging words would 3be piece
of supererogstion, and refrain.
Suffice it to say, Edgefed seems to
have the right man in the right
place.
Col. Watson being absent, Con-
gressman James Byrnes being pres
ent was pressed into service. He
urged education, first, ,frem s5mone-
tary standpoint. The educated boy
in our high schools, statistics showed
averaged $500 per day,while the
college graduate got an average OF
$3.50. Then of course there were
higher motives from moral and re-
Iligions standpoint, and hssurged the
boys not to "quituate'' school 80
early. The girls did nctsneed such
advice, but went on getting an
education, which made the unedu-
Gated boy uncongenial, makipg her
accept in his stead, the Eand of a
man of education and culture. He
then gave us,a good speech on the
tariff giving some eye opening fig
ures with reference to how the far
mer is being feeced by the tariff,
gambling in futures, etc.
Congressman Byrnes is withal q
bright young man, and a forceful
speaker. Dinner was announced, and
then came the Judging of horses by
Prof. Jackson of Clemson, while
IProf. Haddon gave a lecture on
corn judging at the stand The two
days were happy ones, if expressions
from visitors are an Indication, and
the people departed for their homes
declaring our fair success, declar-
Ing their intentions, If alive to at
