Whitmire, July 17.-Miss Sarah
FAINT, of Newberry, is here visiting her
many friends and relatives.
Mr.. E. H. Aull was in town last
week looking after the interests of our
school. Since taking charge of the Of
fee of county superintendent of educa-
ton, Col. Aull has seemed especially
interested in the school here, and has
certainly befriended it. With three
such good businss men as Messrs 2.
H. Suber, David Duncan and Thad w.
Coleman for school trustees, the school
should succeed. These trustees, our
citizens, and Col. Aull are all en-
thlsiastic over the putting on of a
high school. An election looking to
that end will soon be held. Whitmire
has splendid brick school building.
The school has grown rapidly dur
ing the last five years, and when the
extension to the Glenn Lowry cotton
mill, now in process of erection, is fin
ished, the number of pupils in school
will be almost doubled, and to meet
this demand we must have the high
school. Our citizens are trained in
the school, and the future Of Whit
mire depends largely On its school. At
a recent meeting of the board Of trus-
tees the following teachers were elect
ed: Superintendent, Mr.. S. ]. Wall, OF
Marion; principal, Mrs. S. A. Jeter,
Whitmire; primary teacher, Miss Lula
Donnan, Laurens. Mr.. Wall comes
highly recommended. He received his
training as a pedagogue under that
noble educator, Prof. Patterson Ward
law, in the South Carolina university,
and has taught successfully for five
years. Mrs. S. A. Jeter is Winthrop
graduate, has been in the school room

ished her fifth session here. Miss Lula.
