Picnic at Hopewell
The Hopewell School, though
not now in session, had a most
elegant picnic on Wednesday.
Appropriate exercises had heea
prepared, free refreshments and
an elegant dinner was served, and
the community held up its good
name as an entertainer, to the top
notch.
County School Commissioner
B. D. Purcell opened the educa
tional discussion.. He was follow
ed by Editor T. B. Haitig, aod
Col. K. L. Bennett, a u d it seems
safe tosav that the cause of local
taxation for schools, through
which we will be enabled to build
up a good system of public schools
for the entire county, has not. n
biogle enemy in that pare of
Wayne.
Mr. J. C. Hatcher, Sr. of Wins
low, was the master of ceremon es,
and conducted the entire program
with an elegance that, was most
complimentry

behalf of local school taxation.
The day was a most pleasant
one throughout, and both the
cause of local school taxation and
proper organization of our Sea Is
land Growers made many warm
friends.
It may not he amiss to state
that the Pine Grove School is one
of our rural schools that has made
much progress lately. Instead of
the old time bench seats, they
have elegant patent seats. There
is also a library and in many
ways progress along educational
lines was easily noticed.

an t closed last Friday afternoon
appropriate exercises. Miss
Ethel Gardner, who has been the
successful preceptress, proved a
most successful teacher, aud held
up a good attendance throughout
the term. To her credit it must
be said that during the last pup
lie school year, four different
leachers made the attempt to
teach the 8chool , and t l le ir com
bined efforts failed t<> finish the
–ve months term, but Miss Gard
ner vas able to hold up a good av
erage for tlie • ntireterm.
The exerci8es consist.-.I of ^oi gs
and recitations by the puoii*. and

al and local school taxation in
particular by Mr. T. B. Hartig.
