That the colored schools of Newber-
ry county are doing efficient work is
increasingly evident. This year the
schools on the whole have done better
work than in any previous year. This
is due in large measure to the splen-
did supervisory work of U. S. Gall
man.
The Industrial exhibit at Hoge
sclool Saturday was, to quote the
words of Pref. Anderson, ''far beyond
our expectations. The multiplicity
OF things shown was fairly bewilder-
ing, and the skill exhibited a genuine
surprise To catalogue the articles
here would be too large task. They
included such articles as are used on
the farm and in the home, with some
! that no oae could find any earthly use
for, as for example a sword
All the schools were grouped ac-
cording to districts, the name of each
school being placarded. The Hoge
graded school was given large space
and was easily one of tle best ex-
hibits Shown.
! All day long an immense crowd i'll
ed through the school building, be-
coming at times so large as to imperil
the exhibits, but it was a well-behav-
ed and good humored crowd. Many
representative white people were seen
amid the throng: .- .-:A4e4 II
