at Bogansville by Miss Hannah e.
Lee. Another was taught near Sui
phur Springs by Miss Annie Little.
Just over the line in Spartanburg
county there was another little school
taught by Miss Bette West. These
schools only ran about three months
in year.
In 1901 the board of trustees fo,.

following gentlemen: Henry Crow. /.
f. Stanford and Joseph A. Betsin.
The law giving school districts the
right to vote special levy on the
taxable property was in an eXperi-
mental stage. These gentlemen tool,
steps to have an election called to de
termlne whether or not special levy
of 1-2 mills, to supplement- the con
stitutional tax, should be added. The
election was held and there were only
three votes cast against the addition
al tax.
The three schools mentioned above
were consolidated. The old Wes,
Springs academy was overhauled and
transformed from barn into a fairly
respectable school building. Profcs
sor j. L. Spears of Union, and Mrs.
jamie Conrad of Pacolet were employ

new regime. Owing to a lack of fund.
the term necessarily was short one.

ed, the cooperation of teachers, trus-
tees and patrons, West Springs can
look forward to one of the most sue
