' TO COLUMBIA I had to ?o to O-la/nbia to consul the state departir.-si t of education o several matters, and decide 1 that *h better way was to go through th country, but did not care to take th trip alone, since I have been parf! crippled, and as no one in -ihe tow seemed to :-are to make tha trip phoned my friend J. E. Shcaly at Li tie Mountain to be ready at 7 o'cloton Tuesday morning to drive nte t Columbia in my car. He was r.c ready when I arrived at Little Mour tain, but ;t did not take him long, an we were soon on the icad. I desire to make a stop at Lexington to see i I could find a plat of *he school di: tricts of Peak and St. J. hns, but M: Sharp, the county superir.-ter..tea raid he did r.ot have any plats, and b the way, he is endeavoring Id hav done what I made an eiYort to ? our representatives to do, author!z a rei-urvey and a map of the sc-ho districts of the county, bu: the legi' lature in not only Newberry coi::.'; but in some ethers, dots net seem t think the county depnrtme ts of e( .ucation amount'to much, an:l rarel grar.t any suggestions or requests c thece offices. Mr. Sviuip a your, man, but seems to be on his job an competent to discharge the duties c the office in an intelligent manne: f Pity we can not get the members of the legislature to understand that the i educational depaitment of the counjties is of vital importance in this I day, and to give that recognition "i which the question deserves and iL-hould have. j I iilso had Mr. Holly Harmon, the i clerk of court, tx> look over the ree t i ords 'r\ his office to see if a plat of i this ti-rritorv and the school districts j could be found, bat it is not theie. jMr. Swearingen says the law gives the 3 county board authority to locate s^lines, and that is true, biC who has " the authority to pay for the work, ^ and what fund should it be taken y from. We. have no unappropriated e school fund in this county that I am c* aware of, and one of the essential e, things in having the work done Is to 9 be able to pay the man who does it. ' Such a survey and the location cf the " lines is absolutely necessary in this 11 county in order to do any real sub''i^tantial work in .the laying of ihe foundation for a real school system e in this county that will be worth '* while. Take the Jolly Street school district for instance. The auditors 0 books call for only about 2900 acres u in the entire district. I have foir.nd y a plat which I had Prof. E. 0. Counts x to make in 1913 when there were e some changes made in the district 11 lines, which calls for about 5100 acres. Either some of this land is 'avoiding taxation or being taxed in Isome other district, very probably the 'latter. If we knew where the lines - are ar.d then had a map of the entire county showing these lines we could a ero before the people and show them just where there could be made n changes that would be advantageous s to all the districts. But it will com? e in time, and "at the same timo he V children pais on and do not come this e way any more,%and are denied v:e adn vintages which might and should be 3 theirs by a prgper division of district lines and giving better advarO-^es to * all of them. t ii *, I met Ira S'ligh and this partner of the DispatcIvNews, Mr. Walker, and * they said everything was rather quiet 1 but 1hey are moving along nicely and 1 wpH and g-ivinsr Lex.r.ilon a * ?0C :i county paper. Ira is one of my 1 boys who learned Ohe trade in The; e HeialJ ard News office, and I always e feel an interest in these boys ar.d am 3 pleased when they succeed and make ? gcod, ar.d so far as I can* recc.il a]J 1 of them who went out from T!i?

Mr. Swearingen ~.ve mc a gc:d longtime and I talked over many matters with him pertaining to L the sch olf. I hope that the talk will rc u'-; in help to the schools of Ne arte. ;y county. We had a good many Gvc:\I:nfts. in the county the pv?t 0 year. That k not at ail pleasing to ) c*nto ?.imr?rintender.it. end neither h iL, to ilie county superinter..lent, and I have already said that we would make an effort to have r.or.e at the close of the present session. But (1 in the districts that r.^e expecting ar.d that qualify for state aid to guarant tee a seven months' term it will be i necessary to raise some funds in some - way to take care >of the overdraft that 3 r.'ow exists, and that will of necessity " ' -if exist at me c:ozj ui mc -.ic-v. j> y unkcs something is done to take care a of it. I am going to make an effort I to have a conference with the trus t?er and teachers in those districts at k a very er.ily date and see what we o <nn to take care of this matter, - ar.J oar aim the coming session will be to carry over a small balance in J each district, but no big amount in .1 any of the districts. if. * > Then tho state superintendent raid r. that the fcuild'ng money was low, and t, he d.'. 1 not advise any buildings the ' vAir there wa3 con 2 sciiciation, and yet it is almost r.ec-c >l. z: "y to h?.ve some bu.Idirg done in ,e oid.'r to care for i..he ohil.lrt i. In A handling such large sums for the va> rious activities of the schools it is very important that the Ltate super0 irter.ikr. t ; hculd be careful and i- \v tchful, f.:~d see :!:.;t the money g ;.3 y t > the p.'oper and dcservir. c channels, if ar.d this our superinte: lert (iocs in g a marked degree, and he is as well 1 posted as to the schools an:l condi?f tiens in the various districts as .-omc r. 'of the county superintendents, and ( better than some of us. It is won-[the derful what a grasp he has of the j to school situation in this state, even to | the the minor details. i of 1 a h ' Now I must say a word about the iroads, and I can not help saying every 'J j time I get out cn them, net in the trai spirit of criticism, but in the spirit of tax 'helpfulness and suggestion and en- hav couragemer.:. The Newberry road all dis1 the way to the Lexington line is in day : great need of immediate attention, ove i and the holes must be attended to in, whs a different manner than simply trie : throwing a pile of dirt or sand in the any hole and leaving it to mix of 'its own j disl accord, because it will not mix in any con such method. You have to plow if this up and then pack it if you want the the proper sort of mixing. And the road the ~ ' 1- - - -Li-_ ;to Prosperity nas trie xiin maw ? [piled in the middle of the road partly , vvit | spread out, but it is not mixing* prep- hop . erlv arid the read is in really bad:trie i * v j ^ condition and rough, and will be r?o j lall .better until this top soil or sand and the j dirt that is hauled there has been j |flowed in with the road bed and then! I | it will mix so as (to make a road. And tur , the same is true in large measure on cen that part of the read from Prosperity son cn to the Lexington line, which I un-'c-hil jderstand has been completed and ac- and icepted by the commission and let to,up, nnrtfmrtf fuir maintenance. It is the jrough and especially does that pare:Tin j of the road which goes under the of i Southern", at that dangerous under- in i j crossing, .need attention. This is a; bad place and it makes it much worse | I for the roadbed to be in the concli-'in tion that it is. And from Little ran j Mountain to the Lexington line which 'to 1 a rhort (time ago was so nice and law smooth is now full of holes, and the ' mal !fill on the concrete bridge at theses j branch is very lough, and if that is( what the state highway commission 1 calls being in splendid condition then hav T or>-> wilUnc* la n/fm"if. that what I bou I * dcn't know about reads would fill; j several more volumes. "eg _ j con As stated we went by Lexington and and left the highway at Chapin. Th!s bui; road is in fairly good condition for a bui. read that is net a highway that cost neg thousands per mile to build. There bui. are tad places and when it rains the of i road gets in very bad shape. Fro.m not Lexingl.cn to Columbia one road bed tir.; is washing in ridges and when you hj'oi hovo tn Hp^nur in mrotinjr a car to the ~ " **, r give *he main read 'and get- -but on the side it i.s jast Kke running over I corn rows only they are r.ot as high tees as wii^t we would call rows. Aga:'!n soo: let me say that to spend money to n<*n build roads unless you provide for the the maintenance you are wasting good ary money. We came% back by the Piedrr orit. The Richland force is at work the on the read after you get ten or elev- tru< en miles cut of Columbia and for kep ; about two miles the driving is bad the because the road is torn up, but this ny is to be a concrete of ceirie-: it road and tak when completed will be fine for those spn who like that sort of rca-d. From ?an i Spring Hill, or rather frc>m Wateree c-ou Creek, to Chapiri the Lexington ch^'n gang has worked and while it is pas."- all able and better than it w~\> it still I v remans pretity bad, and if it fihculd sc'h rain and the drag or scrape or be Mi is ] are net used -on it you better go an- unc c'her way, because V.ien that fire >:?u da:' rome ten anchos deep gets sorn? eac wc-ter on it and then a little travel an^ i;he lart condition of that road will be tes worse than the first. But if it should *r:c be 'given the proper atter.Von at th i to t rio4it time it ^ould be kent &ood all b' winter. But to have tiny sort of read >'01 there must be constant maintenance me in th1.4 time of people riding about j over the country. : c 1 K. We made the trip in very g:x>d time a'?r and I am very much obliged to Jim vShealy for going with me, and while Por he only wanted to be in Columbia lor ^we a few minutes ytt I could not get him.. mai away until 5 o'clock, but he went out! 'to the camp to sec about buying some j 1 sort of machinery that the govern-' off ment is going to sell now that the yie camp hns been discontinued, and Jim It I says he no longer wonders why ourjing debt is twenty billion dollars if they ( bel piled up and wasted material as they por have at this camp at the all the o<th-.Te> ers. They sold a thousand horses and 1 501 ! mules there the other day at about 00( | $f)0 a piece, and there are hundreds all of automobiles of all sorts of make: tioi rr.d condition and trucks that have kee never been used'that are to be sold wei I and will bring practically nothing,' da> land thc^n all sorts of the very best .'see .1 'machinery. Well, I reckon it hud to abc i be that way, and there was a lot of! of !wa te in this war, but then war is ket . r.cthi.g else but waste anyway. sho E. H.
