There is every reason to feel encouraged by the amount raised on Thursday in subscriptions to the capital stock of the Newberry county hospital. With the good amount subscribed as a starter, it is within the ability j of the people to build the hospital, and we believe they are going to do so. This is a movement which ought to appeal strongly to every man, woman and child in Newberry. It is a movement which ought not to have turned towards it a cold shoulder by any one, and it is a movement which ought to be substantially helped by all those who are able to help. Of course tnere are many in the community who are not financially able to subscribe anything,, and these should not be expected to help with money. But even these ought to lend to the movement their encouragement. There are those in the community who are able, and they should help. Even from a selfish viewpoint, it is to their interest to do so. Affliction is not choice in the place where it lays its hand. Often there is no warning. It would be an ideal condition if the hospital when built should never be needed for use, but the pity is there is too much need for it. One can not / look a moment into the futuri and he who is able to help in a movement of this kind, and refuses and thereby lessens the chances of success, can not know what opportunity for eter*!/>! /WW/-V/? hoc 10-t uai gVVAl UUU n/v There is another point from which the proposition should be viewed, j Those who have made a success in business in the community are indebted to the community. However great one's ability or however vital his energy, he could not have succeeded without th? touch of contact and the support of his fellow-men. And, in addition, a hospital will help the whole community, and thereby increase the business importance of the community. But there is a broader and a more noble view. To relieve distress, as far as human power can do so; to alleviate suffering, to the extent of one's ability; to be an instrument of " ? ? J "U ^TT'AVOn omol 1 t/\ Bervice Ul et UCglTTC uuncw Lilian w one's fellow-m^n; to do what one can in a work second in importance to none in the eyes of the Great Physician, is no small matter. And, on the other hand, when one has the ability to do these things, and refuses when the opportunity presents itself, it is no small matter. Money and service given in a cause of this kind are not money and service lost. It is an investment which will * "?# "* J *-! ^ go on paying dividends mruugn me ages and through eternity. Ringing with the power breathed into it by the Creator of a universe have come down to us the all-inclusive words: "And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward." A contemporary printed the picture of a cashier of a bank. The man's face was not shown at all,, only the back of his coat being visible. Gee, he must be a good looking man.?Anderson Intelligencer. He is, both coming and going, or from any view. ANCIENT HISTORY. The Watchman and Southron, and any other papers under the same impression, are mistaken in supposing that the story we carried about the Felder letters came out of the report now on file with Gov. Blease. If the - J.1- rrj. - A _ J press Ol Uie OUtLC uau ivcpi, uy wiLii mc happenings it would have been known that a report was made to the 1912 cession of the general assembly, containing certain letters which, we beliovo Ti'a nrinto/1 f/?v fha fire* tlTTlP thp AIV/ ? ?> U 11UVU AVi *?* v?-**v v?v other day. The matter was gleaned from an official report already printed in book form. That the other papers Jet us get ahead of them is their mis fortune and not our fault. We know why some papers would not have printed those letters even had they seen them.?Anderson Intelligencer. The Anderson Intelligencer has been printing and the Watchman and South ron has been talking about ancient history. The Herald and News published all these letters, affidavits and testimony from the report of the dispensary commission, and the finding of the commission on this and other matters, in its issues of January 30 and February 2. When we saw all this matter featured in the Intelligencer. we wondered if the Intelligencer had been asleep or was establishing a department of ancient history. And when other newspapers got to discussing it as something new our wonder grew. THE TEACHEB AND THE STATE. In a strong and thoughtful editorial, the News and Courier calls attention to the small salaries paid our teachers and the comparative neglect of secondary schools. For many years The Herald and News has been urging that a people's first duty is to the common schools, where the masses receive, or should receive, the rudiments of an education. If a State is to have an intelligent citizenship, Aere must be adequate common schools. We are not opposing our higher institutions* of learning. We would not bave one of them that has been built torn down. We would have some of them, supported by the State, conducted more economically, in view of the fact that the common schools, the * ' * Qtato nrp rpneivinsT j DaCK-DOLie vjjl exit uwi.v, w comparatively and relatively, a mere pittance, and are forced to struggle along as best they may on the support which they receive. We need improved common schools, j we need higher salaries for the com| mon school teachers, securing the best teachers possible, and we need compulsory education. The teacher in the r?r?mmnn schools of the present is ex erting an influence which will be felt largely and directly upon the citizenship of the future. The wonder is that with the salaries that are paid, we are able to secure as good teachers as we have. I i We desire to reproduce in these columns, with our hearty endorsement, the editorial in the News and Courier above referred to: ' "If it happens that our form of government proves a failure, and Mr. Roosevelt says that it has already so proved, it is probable that the historian of the future will find a cause for it in the lamentably small salaries paid to teachers and in the comparative neglect of secondary schools. The essential thing in a Republican form of government is the intelligence and education of the citizens. Government merely reflects the State of mind of the people. If they can be fooled and readily deceived it is but a matter of time before the demagogues are in anH thp transition from dema gogue to dictator is the matter of a night only. "One has but to consider the names of the great men of the nation to draw i up an indictment of our schooling system. A very large proportion of our best lawyers, our best statesmen, our best professional men of all classes, *were at one time teachers, and they would have continued to be teachers had the future held any promise of financial reward or even of real honor. But one by one the brainiest men have been forced into other fields of endeavor. The policy is fatuous but it continues. In every State of the Union are seer struggling teachers earning wages far below those given the bricklayer. Particularly true is this in the i secondary schools, the very heart of I our educational system. "One reason for this is that philanthropists continue to endow colleges but few seem to give any attention to the secondary schools. When a man has a good secondary education he can complete his own equipment The average high school student of today has received almost as much training as the average college student of a century ago. Yet the number of endowed secondary schools ?an be counted on the fingers. Not only are they not endowed, but in most cases they I are not adequately supported by the ! State. We have been making our educational structure top-heavy. "Those who wonder at the marvellous development of the Western States might do well to consider that they are many times more liberal in j educational matters than are the oldier commonwealths. Illinois has just j provided a new tax levy that will yield i to the State university more than two 1 ; millions the year."

AT THE TABERNACLE SCHOOL. Session Closes With Delig-htful Picnic. Young: and Older Ones, Too, Enjoy the Occasion. Shack, May 27.?Many of our friends and neighbors gathered at the Nathan Johnson's homestead on Saturday, May 25, to enjoy Miss Carrie Buford's school picnic. The picnic grounds are situated in a large grove of giant oaks, and this is in many respects an ideal place for a picnic. Miss Buford, at all times full of life and happiness, did all she could to have the day pass pleasantly and one could readily see that every one present enjoyed themselves to the fullest extent The dinner was boundtiful and nicely prepared; bearing testimony to the number of well-filled pantries and good cooks in the "Shack" community. Miss Carrie Buford, ably assisted by Misses Ida Smith and Lula Johnson and Messrs. Tom Johnson and E. Chaney, served nice iced lemonade and cream. A platform had been erected under the shade of the trees, and on this the youths and maidens and even the wee lads and lasses tripped "the light fanX -i-Z ^ 99 iiu>Lic iue. Messrs. Bowman, Huffman and Lang ford, of the Hopewell section, furnished the music. Their music is second to none.
