Bullock's Creek Graded school open
ed Monday morning, September 9Th,
at 10 o'clock, with the largest opening
enrolment on record, and with splen-
did prospects for the most successful
term Of the consolidated school.
A public meeting was held in the
auditorium which had recently been
renovated by the live School Improve
ment association. The entire interior
Of the building was bright with d
fresh coat Of paint and the grounds
had been worked over with walks and
drives laid off. Quite a number of
friends and patrons of the school were
present at the opening exercises. Prof.
c. D. Guess, principal of the school
presided at the meeting.
The invocation was made by Rev.
w. D. Ratchford, and short talks,
stressing the Importance Of the WORK
of the school, and urging the acher
and pupils to do their best, were made
by Rev. Mr.. Ratchford, Mr.. j. T.. NC
ALLEY, chairman of the board of trus-
tees, and others. The necessity Of CO.
operation between trustees, patrons
teachers and pupils, and the impor-
lance Of regular daily attendance and
punctuality were emphasized.

A PROHIBITION
Slight Vote But Heavy Majority
AGAINST Present System.

The vote on the state wide prohi-
bition question last Tuesday was COM
paratively light; but nevertheless
there was a very positive expression
Of the feeling Of the state in favor OF
prohibition as against the present local
option system.
Every county in the state, including
those that have dispensaries. except
Charleston and Dorchester, both dis
pensary counties, voted for wide
prohibition. Charleston county voted
by an overwhelming majority to main
tain the present system, and Dorches-
ter voted the same way by only a
small majority.
The complete returns Of the state
have not been gathered and the exact
figures for all the counties will not be
available until after the meeting OF
the state board Of canvassers- The
general result, however, was known
beyond question on Tuesday night,
and the following tabulated statement
gives a very satisfactory idea as to
how the vote went all over the state.

The AGENT of
ANOTHER Company

But Who Carries Insurance On His
Own Life In the Mutual Benefit,
Says:-
IF the average business man were in
position to personally observe the
extraordinary IiberaIity Of tho Mu-
tual Benefit in the treatment Of its
policyholders, the claims 1t pays
(which no other company would
pay), and the privileges it confers
(which no other company over con-
ferred), I repeat, if the average bus
mess man had personal knowledge
Of these facts, you could sell all the
insurance you wanted without a
sales force"
While the agent above quoted states
an exact truth, 1t Is also true that the
average business man," as well as all
other kinds, leap before they look and
buys life insurance from the agent
who first presents the matter to them
or for personal reasons rather than
taking the trouble to sec whether or
not all companies ere "about the
same" I am prepared to prove all the
companies doing business in this sec
ton are about the same" except the
Mutual Benefit, and that it is in a class
by itself. Look Before You Leap.

The first instance the oldest en-

and her husband came in 1910 70 look

money for her expenses until FEBRUARY
Of This wear. when her letters ceased.
Worrying about his wife, Sonka says
he sought the consolation Of services
in a church at 224 East Forty-slNtn
Street. As he was leaving he met
John JAEGER and John K. jaeger, cousins
and natives Of the same hungarian
town as Mr.. and Mrs. Sonka. -.

Francisco. His last appearance as a
witness in New York was in the
spring Of 1912, when he sued the os-
tate of the Countess Mabel Florence
Stayra for alleged loans amounting to
Sl4.S00.
The Countess Stavra, who was Mrs
Mabel Florence Hilton Of New York,
died in Paris in 1910. In his letters
to the countess Mr. Dey addressed her
as Charlie" and signed himself
sometimes "Dckey Bird" and some
times Just "Dickie." The countess, it
appeared. had helped TO cheer the
lonely young bachelor during a Euro
pean trip and had given him blue
silk nigktgown.
Charles L. Fair and his wife were
killed almost instantly in an automo-
bile accident in France in 1902. Litiga
tion over the estate has been almost
continuous since their death. Con-
fcting testimony was given as to
whether Mr.. Fair or his wife died
first.
When that point had been settled in
the California courts, which presumed
that the husband had survived. new
suits were filed in New York by George
Elmer Letter, Thomas Letter. Edward
Letter and Mrs. Mabel F.. Towle
against Mrs. Vanderbilt and Mrs. Del
richs. The plaintiffs alleged that the
will should have been probated in New
York
