EVERY one PLAYS
The GLAD GAME
NEARLY ALL THE SCHOOLS OF
THE COUNTY REPRESENTED.
The Exhibits Were Fine-The Day
Was Ideal-Literary Contests
Above Ordinary.

Field day on Friday for the schools
of Newberry county was a great event
in the educational history Of Newber-
ry. The children and the trustees
and the teachers came in on special
trains, in wagons, in automobiles and
in buggies. 1t was a gala day. The
children entered into the spirit of the
festivities and it spread to every one
who was present In the parade there
we're trustees who had passed three
score and ten years marching with
the little tots of six and seven. All
being children together in spirit at
least. The day was ideal.
Professor W. K. Tate, supervisor OF
rural schools, who was present was
enthusiastic in his eommendation OF
the success of the day. There was
. nothing so far as any one could OBJ
serve to mar in the slightest the fes-
tivfties of the occasion and every one
y seemed to be in a good humor and de-
termined to play the glad game:
There were about 1000 persons on
the campus at Newberry' college and
dinner in picnic fashion was brought
from all sections of the county and
4 from the town and the multitude was
fed and there was an abundance left
y to feed another multitude. If any one
went away hungry it was his fault or
his taste was too fastidious to exist in
this practical age. The exhibits from
the various schools of the county were
very creditable. There were all kinds
! OF handiwork by the girls and the boys
displayed mechanical genius far above
the average. The details of the awards
u OF prizes are given in this connection
and it would not be proper to under
take to make comparisons where all
did so well. There was, however, a
of the boys of the Prosperity school
which evidenced hign order Of me-
chanical genius. There was also a
novel home made freless cooker by a
member of the jolly Street school in
4 which was used some native soap
stone. There was also fac-simile
miniature of Little Mountain by the
Little Mountain high school which de-
serves, in our judgment, special men
ton, but where everything from all
of the schools showed up so we'll it
would not be proper to make compari-
sons. Owing to the rain during the
week and the distance and inconven-
ience in Transporting exhibits the
Whitmire school did not undertake to
have anything on exhibition from its
domestic science department.
The Parade.
The parade of the school children
was an inspiration. There were about
1000 of the the 5000 children enroll
ed in the white schools Of Newberry
county in the parade. The teachers
and trustees all entered into the spirit
of the day with the children and
marched in the parade with them.
