Remajrka ble Work of a Colored Girl For Her Race and People—ssl Students in This School. Denmark, S. C. —Klizabeth Evelyn Wright, the founder of the Voorhee's Industrial school at Denmark, S. C., was born in Talbotton, Ga., April 3rd, 1874. Early in her life she de cided to work for an education and went to Tuskegee, entering the night school. The story' of her first struggles has often been told. On ac count of her frail constitution and very poor health, she had almost be come discouraged, and had given up all hope of ever realizing her high est ambition when Judge George W. Kelly, of Rockland, Mass., hearing of her perseverance, came to her aid financially and she entered the day school. Judge Kelly paid her bills for the remainder of her time at Tuskegee and has never had cause to regret helping to educate this col ored girl. She was graduated in 1894, as a trained nui'se and came to South Car olina. She founded the school at Den mark, April 14th, 1897 with fourteen students and two teachers. fe*he was without friends or money. Hut few even of the negroes encouraged her. The first purchase was twenty acres of land with an old plantation house upon it.. A little over eight years ago, the present tract of .180 acres was purchased by Mr. Halph Voor hees, of New Jersey. The school was named for him and incorporated by special act of legislature of South Carolina. How the School Started The manner in which the founder of this institution became acquaint ed with Mr. Voorhees is most inter esting. Alter teaching - throbgh the school term in Denmark she went north one summer to endeavor to interest some of the northern people in her work. While there she was compelled to take a position in a hotel in the Oatsklll mountains, where she clean ed up thirty-five rooms a day for $25 a month and hoard. During her spare time she did all she could to raise money for her school. One day when she went to call on Mr. Vonr hees she was informed that he was desperately HI from an attack of acute indigestion and could not see her. She announced that site was a (rained nurse,, and being admitted to his bedside was enabled to afford him great relief before the arrival of a ,]hysiclan. Krom that time* Mr. Voorhees always took a great inter est. in her work. On the second day of June, 1900, she was married to Martin D. Men afee, who is now in charge of the school. In the latter part of 1900 she was taken ill and although she. had the very best of medical attention, both You Should Enjoy Your Meals One of the Moat Important Questions to Consider in the Search for Happiness and Health. If your stomach can not digest your food, what will? Where’s the relief? The answer is in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, because, as all stomach trou bles arise from indigestion and be cause one Ingredient of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets is able to thoroughly and completely digest 3,000 grains of food, doesn't It stand to reason that these tablets are going to digest all the food and whatever food you put Into your stomach? You Can Eat With the Appetite of a ‘ Lusty Youngster, if'You Help Your tSonioch. Science nowadays can digest food without hnvlng It enter the stomach at all. And Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab lets are the result of this scientific discovery. They digest and digest thoroughly and well, anything and ev erything you eat. The burning question to you Is. “Are you getting out of life all the pleasure and the health you are entitled to?” If not. why not ? No mutter whether every organ and member of your body Is In a sound state of health and strength, If your stomach Is In uny way disordered, you are not going to be “yourself." You are going to be a worried, out-of sorts. nervous or sullen Individual, whose actions will reflect your con dition inside, and people will naturally avoid you. So. if your stomach refuses to work or can't work, and you suffer from eructations, bloat, brash, fermentation, biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn. Irritation, indigestion, or dyspepsia of whatever form. Just take one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and so-! the difference. It doesn't cost you much to prove it. Then you can cat all you want, what you want, when ever you want, if you use these tab lets. and you can look the whole world in the face with a beaming eye and you will have a cheerful spirit, a pleasant face, a vigorous body and a cUar mind and memory and every thing will look and taste delicious to you.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. at Augusta, and at the Battle Creek sanitorium, where she was sent later, she died December 14th, 1906. Those who were intimately ac quainted with her, speak of her as a most wonderful woman, and surely the work accomplished by her was marvelous. Starting out without money or friends or anything but a determination to better the condition of her face, she managed to found this school in 1897 out of practically nothing, and at her death in 1906 the work had grown to a property valua tion of $50,000 free from all debt. Year by year, through the interest and support of friends in various parts of the country, the work has continued to grow and exert an in fluence for goitfl, until today, it has a total valuation, including the en dowment fund of $175,000 free of all incumbrances. The endowment fund now amounts to about SIOI,OOO. Vocational Training The object of the Voorhees Insti tute is to provide young colored men and women an opportunity to learn a vocation and. to .gain a sound moral literary and industrial training so that when they leave the school they may, by example and leadership, help to change and improve the moral and industrial condition of the com munities in which they live. The methods of instruction ern ployed aim to correlate and combine tiie academic studies and industrial training in such a way as to empha size the social and moral signific ance of skilled labor, and at the same time illustrate, in the shop and in the field, the practical meaning of the more abstract teaching in the class room. Every pupil of the institute is en rolled in the academic department. The student body is divided into the day school and night school pupils. The night school pupils attend acad emic exercises from 0:30 to 8:40 o'clock five evenings in the week. The day school pupils attend acad emic exercises four days every week from 8:45 to 12:00 and from 1:15 to 9:30 o'clock. The night school is de signed for those young men and wo men who earnestly desire to educate themselves, but who are too poor to pay the small charge made in the day school. They are thus enabled to spend the day employed in some position which will afford them a living, and to attend school at night. Students are not admitted to the night school' who can afford to at tend the day school. The day school Is Intended for those students who are able to pay all or the greater part of their ex penses In cash, and the expense is very low, amounting to about $lO per month. Students are taken in who do not know their alphabet. Students in the day school attend school four days each week and are required to work only six days in the month, one school day each week, and every oth er Saturday day school students, however, are given the opportunity to work out from $1.50 to $3.00 per month on their board or even more. Besides the academic work the boys are Instructed In carpentry, mechanical drawing, blacksmlthing, wheelwrlghting, tinsmithing, sawmil ling. printing, shoe-making, harness making, wood-turning and plumbing and steam-fitting, and suitable npa ratus and equipment is contained in the various buildings for the practice of these trades. In the print shop, the boys get out two monthly publi cation*, The Southern Voice, which is a record of work of the graduates and former students, and the assis tant which is devoted to the interests of students, teachers and graduates. The Dpartment of Agricultural In dustrials is divided into the following branches: Farming, truck gardening, fruit growing, care and management of horses and mules, dairy husband ing, dairying, swine raising, beef pro duction and slaughtering. The Institution also operates a canning plant for the double purpose of preserving its own stock of fruit and for teaching the industry to a' class who remain at school during the summer vacation for that purpose. To the girls are taught plain sew ing. dress making, millinery, launder ing, mattress making, broom making, cooking and trained nursing. Consid erable attention is also given to music at Voorhees. inadditlon to the regular instruction in vocal and in : strumental teachnique, good composl | tion is studied. Special attention is 1 given also to those plantation melo dies. whech represent an Interesting and instructive contribution by Am j erican negroes to musical art. These melodies express better than anything else thus far. the spiritual life and moral struggles of the black race in America. In this spirit they are sung by the choir and the student body. The military system has been in troduced to cultivate habits of order, neatness and obedience. The Com panies are officered by students who are conmiDsioncd by the institute commandant. * The present enrollment is 551 students with twenty-four teachers. There will be this year, seven grad uates. There has recently been completed a new electric plant, and complete lighting system. A great saving was accomplished by having all the work done by the students, the total cost amounting to only about $8 000. The general sentiment of all those wh come in contact with officers and teachers of the institute is most friendly, and those who take the trou ble to investigate the work being dona there must realize that a good deal is being accomplished toward the uplift and betterment cf the con j ditkn of th negro in this country. 11.
