ESTABLISHED.
The Teachers Meeting at Whitmire-
Those Who Have Cars to Take
Teachers.

E. H. Aull gives out the following
statements in regard to school mat
ters in the county:
Il want every one interested in the
educational advancement and devel-
opment of the rural schools of the
county to remember the rally to be
held at Silverstreet on Thursday af-
ternoon of this week. The handsome
brick school house at this place will
be completed this week. 1t marks
very important event in the history
of this community. One year ago the
district had no school house of its
town of Silverstreet, and, as stated,
given by Mrs Maffett. Today the
district owns four acres Of ground IN
the most desirable portion of the
town of Silverstreet, and, as staed,
has completed five thousand dollar
building and will have it paid for.
"The meeting on Thursday will ba
entirely informal, but it was thought
proper to celebrate the event with a
mass meeting and few short talks on
education by some men who are inter-
ested in the educational advancement
of the State. Superintendent Swear
ingen will be with us. DR.. E. P.
Jones, of Newberry; President }.

Every one is invited. The meeting
will be held at four o'clock so that
those who go up on the train may
return at night.

ing this week with the Silverstreet
school. and will visit all the patrons.

rv at nine o'clock in the morning so

to have those teachers who will take
the trip to send me their names this
