Williamston Graded Schools
Under Efficient Corps of
Teachers Open Sept.
24 and Oct. 1
The next session of the William
mon Graded School white, opens
Monday Sent. tA. The achool for
colored opens Oct. ist.
The assistant teachers have all
been chosen: They are Misses
' Mary Hodge*, Meta Liles, Sallie
Hyuian in the literary department
and Miss Nannie Smith, in the
music department.
The corps of teachers for next
year we believe is one of unusual
strength, and the school is to l>e
congratulated upon securing com
petent teachers throughout the
several grades.
Miss Hodges, whose very excel
lent work in the first grade last
year is recognized generally, will
be back and will teach first and
second grades. Misses Hytnan
and Liles are Ix.th graduates of the
State Normal and Industrial Col
lege dt Greensltoro. In addition
to being graduates of the Normal
College each has taken a year of
special training at that institution
in the particular grade work that
they will teach in our school. This
College course, in connection with
the years practice in actual -teach
under the guidance of the foremost
teachers in the country, is pre em
inently the l>est proposition the
state affords to young women in
tending to teach.
The Superintendent is giving
careful attention to outlining the
work for next year, having a keen
eye to everything that is good and
up-to-date hi graded school work
We have good reasons to expect
next year to be the most successful
in tbe history of the achool.«, Tin
session will be a mouth longer than
heretofore.

Representative Albert Carlos Dates,

Society's library, has reuelved fnom
Mrs. Howe, of Ohio, a descendant of
,'> el Allen, of K&rinlngton, who was
st one time a well-known engraver
of this a map of Connecticut
published in March, 1791, says the
Hartford Times. The map was en
graved by Jool Allen and printed in
Mlddletown by William WodgetL *l'M
'lovernor of tbe State In that year waa
Mamuel Huntington, of Norwich. The
map la of decided Interest. It abows

Is needless to aay that in the met

found s resting plane where Ita exist
ence will be carefully prolonged, and
• here It will be safe from the Irrever
ent fingers of the curious or tbe de
'potlhiß hands,of the Indifferent.
In the explanation of tbe marks and
figures that are printed on the map,
■he pulitlsher makes a distinction in
'hose indicating the churches There
is a distinctive mark for the nplscopai
churches. It Is Interesting 10 not*
that Mr. niodgett uses the word
"church," without the rlononilivitlonai
quulttt'-utlone to indicate the hraneft
of Christianity to which It beiinigs.
* hen Indicating thf edttlree or -ttte
Kplwopal Church. A different sign in
dicates the Presbyterian, Congrega
tional and Baptist churches. The *4l
- of the Congrugational and ilftp
tlst denominations are called meeting
houHee. These are tlw only church
edlftres marked on the map. if there
were others In the .state the puiilisner
did not thnik. It worth while to Indi
cate them. The Little River, running
through Hartford Is ekown. There Is
a tributary, named "Woods Itlver,"
which Is now known as the north
branch of the ljttle Hlver, In the city
of Hartford are shown one court house
and two Presbyterian (Congregation
al! meeting houses.
When tbe map waa engraved, New
Hritaln. now a nourishing city of 4U,-
000 people, according to tbe estimate
of Itf hopeful citizens, had no corpor

j ears later that a section of the town
of Karmlngton took the name ot
Hhakespeare's river and waa enrolled
among the townships aa Avon. Now

the map left the publisher's hanus.

COMMENT
—\Vl;at has Ik -nine of our cor
respondents? We are distiessed
about tl em.- It may Ik that they
nre titiV, but they might get a
friend to write us the news In that
locality The people want to know
the news from every section' of
Martin Cotintv. It may be that
some of them have died since we
last Iteanl from. them. If so, we
will pynecrittcn line frtlin theilFiW
ones more than we can express.
The dead always apjH.nl to us.
Wakf up. and let us know what
vou are doing. The Kuterprise
has started out in a rtew way.' We
are going to give the public news

you are doing This 'paper ik go

lic will need the papei more than
the paper will need the public.
-—What is ihe mattei with some
of our merchants that they do not
advertise in tljeii home paj>er. Is
it because tliev nre not friendly
>vith the public, or is it !>ccausc
they do not waul to see their prices
in print, or is it because they have
paid'so nitich lot,their goods they
cannot buy space in a newspaper}
There arc u great many |>eoplc
who watch tin advertisements foi
bargains. It is |Kn>t economy lor
one to shut himself out Irom the
medium that reaches the people.
If a merchant wants trade he has
got to drum it up by advertising
what lie carries in stock. Times
have changed and people do not
think and act as tlicp once did, ev
ery establishment in Martin Countv
slioul I have its space iu The Kn
terprise. If any Isnly has any
thing to sell that is worth consider
ing the peop'.e wont to know it.
If yott want to know where
to buy youi goods vvnlch the ad
vertisements in this paper. Since
the rain has done so much dam
the 1 lops, the |ieople ought
lint to take any extravagant chanc
es in buying what they need. If
a merchant lias li.ul to pay m>
much foi hi-, goods that he can
11 >t affotil to i»ay foi| space iie is to
be pitied Hut tin buying pub
lic CHUMMl'tlie held responsible foi
It is mistakes. Some merehailts
pay more foi theii goods than oth

Is there anybody in Williams

does not take The Enterprise? We
do not think so. bill if there is, we
earnestly request that his neighbors
call on him at once and secure his

black can afford to lie without the
paper. If any one is due this pap
