no wonder that Greenville
cured it, over all competitors,
when the is seen. With
the same spirit which, in the
space of two or three years, ha
converted the old-time court
house town into the attractive
little city of today, the people of
that community set about
its claims to the
school. The State had

State should supply this amount
along with the appropriations
required for additional equip-

As we have heretofore said,

with similar ones at the
charitable institutions, should be
provided for a bond issue a

would be a wise economy for

current expenses.
We occasion, some time
ago, to cite Greenville as an ex-
ample of progress. At that time
we knew nothing of it except
what it seemed to be as it shone
through that remarkable paper,
the Greenville Daily Reflector.

able paper because, about 1893

ville was but a village of some
1.500 inhabitants, it started a
little daily edition, and, by good
management, backed by a
community, it has

About the time that the Re-

venture, there were
of restlessness in many of
the towns of the State which had

ought to have. Fayetteville was
one of those towns, which, in the
language of the sporting men,
had champagne appetite and
a whiskey and we be-
it is true that, except for
the example of the Reflector, we
could never have screwed up
courage to start the Daily Ob-

Since 1901 there have

none of then could enjoy.
The Observer is happy to re-
