A wihrl wind campaign of four

MARION VOTERS
STAND BY SCHOOLS.
Bond Issues fur Building and for
ScluKd Ihirposes Carry Unanimously.
Marion, Dec. C?The election for
a bond issue of $20,000 to build a
new school and an increase of seven
mills in the levy for school purposes]
which was carried unanimously in
Ihe Nichols school district broke all
records, declared S. J. Wall, county
superintendent of education, yesterday.
The voting was 51 to 0 on both
isrues and immediately after the
election, a meeting was called to discuss
plans for early building and operation
on the new and enlarged scale.
It is the hope of the people in the
Nichols district that tln> school can
ho finished jn time for next session.
The spirit exhibited a: the election
was of a most enthusiastic sort and
the desire for bettor educational conditions
in the district was most nro
nounced. Never before in the history
of the county, it is said, has such an
election been carried withou^ a single
dissenting vote.
During the past six years every
district in Marion county, with the
exception of one, has voted bonds for
a modern school building and increased
the levy for educational purposes.
The single exception is accounted
for by the fact that in this dis-1
j trict already these steps had been1
taken. The levy previously in effect in j
' the Nichols school district was eight 1
mills. This was increased to 15 mills.

There was delay in getting the

Maj. I'liRe Completes Work Alter Sj\
lOmdneers "Had Failinl.
Maj. O. M. Page is receiving the
congratulations of his friends over
the completion or a most difficult
piece of engineering in tin' mountains
near Stuart. Va. Maj. Page was called
to the work after six engineers
had failed to map out a road that was
acceptable to the state and federal
governments. The following from The
Stuart (Va.) Enterprise will be of interest
to Herald readers:
It will probably be of interest to
the Patrick County people to know
something about the High way now
under construction from the Corporate
limits ofStuart eastward.
The Engineer in charge of Project
No. 55 representing the State of Va.
is Major Otis M. Page, of S. C. Major
Page is a Veteran of the World War,
having commanded one of the largest
Engineer battallion ever authorized
by the War Department. Major Page
has a long line of experience, is a
member of the American Society of
Civil Engineers. The assistant Engineer
is Mr. H. Hudley of W. Va. Mr.
Hundley is also a Veteran of the late
war and was a Eieutcnant of Engineers.
,
Major Page states that the work
is being rapidly pushed to completion.
That (he oast end of the road
will be Top Soil." That he is making a
study relative to the surface of th
Stuart :ul and wiil be able to make
a definite announlemont in a fewdays.
All work done is inspected by the
Stat*' Engineers ami lias to coine up
th?> letter of Stilt and Federal and
Government specifications. All contractors
are under the supervision of
the Engineers. This contract is held
by Burgess and Atkerson of Scot'sville,
Va.
Tin- Engineering problems met with
were numerous and complex but tli"
location finally decided upon is said
to be ideal from an Engineering!
standpoint, high supporting ground,
light grades and 110 sharp curveture
ib? entire length., Those are very important
features in a mountainous
country. The Engineer is to be congratulated
on this work.

MOUSE ON HIS WAY HACK.
Sails for t'nitwl States on Steamship
Paris.
Havre, Dc-c. 5?The steamship
Paris, having aboard Charles W.
Morse, whose presence is desired in,
the United States by the Department
of Justice at Washington, sailed at
10:30 o'clock tonight for New York.
Prior to the departure of the vessel
Mr. Morse reiterated that he had
rcceiveu 110 repiy xroni Aiiorney uenerul
Daugherty to liis request to be
permitted to remain in Europe until
January to undergo medical treatment.
At the American consulate today it
was said no reply had been received
tonight for Mr. Morse.
"Come to meet me hero sometime
1 iti January," were Mr. Morse's parting
words to the correspondent of the
Associated Press. "I surely will be
back if I'm still alive."
Mr. Morse slipped aboard the
steamer so quietly that many of the
ship's officers were unaware of his
presence until he became dissatisfied
with the stateroom, which he was
asked to share with another passenger,
and went to the purser and requested
that he be given another
room. The purser said his request !
would be granted as soon as all the ,
passengers had embarked, if there
was a vacant stateroom available.

The Value of liitcttilun* in Develop-!
inn the Kinotions.
li. N. Allen of I.atta, Ch> ster Reporter I
It is a very . commonplace fact:
that practically every man and woman
and every boy aid airl is in lovoj
at sometime during their respective1
livts. All have alik" been created so
that thev fall under the liniv.I
sway of that all-compelling power ;
sooner or later. No one would at any I
time like to make the rather unfor-'
tunate admission that he or she had
never at any time during their lives;
been in love. Some people would pr?-- j
tend to b" rather reluctant to admit
that they had ever had such a com- i
monplace experience. Yet to deny
having had such an experience is to
really make a self-admission that they '
had not had the qualities that make
them attractive to some one. It would I
be tantamount to an admission that
they were hopelessly mediocre, irrevocably
commonplace, and without
that power necessary to win the r?gard
of some one. To have loved and
lost is a far more endurable fat" than
to have never loved or been love.l at
all.
And yet while all human beings;
ar. subject Jo t!i<- thrall of lov* ,
there are few who over make it
their interest to study the vast literature
that has built u;> around tlii-=

true that many people read and eni.
? .'int si love poetry but the ye"? ?? ?
| thn' those are a
* - i ?v s tying t itat tho
Ii \ of the great lovers of history
tire the most inspiring of all biocgrapliies.
Once a preacher let tin- inspect
a volume ol a set of books in
his library entitled "i.nvc Affairs of
Great Men," and it proved to be one
of the most fascinating of all the
!?<> -us on biography that I have ever
seen. No boy or girl could read
those fascinating accounts without
?: - 'hat a ; r all Love was
something to be taken seriously.
Never shall I forget the accounts of
the love affairs of that great politcai
wizard of France. Ganihetta. To
have browsed over the volume was
a privilege that 1 shall be very slow
i.i forgetting.
? r. "-"-'I -
?i ? "uni ' iiinun ? i lit < iti < i'HI
of Dante's groat poem "The Inferno"
it' we were aware of the fact that i;
H a titanic inonunient to his sweet
heart Beatrice. The magnificent
works of Goethe would unfold their
hidden beauties to us more r< n?li
ly if we knew through his biography
of lus numerous love affairs. The
most interesting book tha( one could
read is one entitled "Love Letters of
Great Men and Women." for tie r? ; i
we would liavt revealed to us the
deepest sentiments of the human
heart. To have unfolded to us th
profoundest depths of human emotion
could not but purify our spirits,
er.noble our minds, and create witl
in us a deeper and firmer resolve to
love .worthily and still more worthily
should that experience fall to us.
Sometime ago it was my exquisite
pleasure to translate from the
French that delightful little memior
of Renan's entitled "My Sister Hen-j
rietta." There is something remarkable
about the love that Renan's
sister bore for liim. At times
it seemed to me that she loved her
brother more than his wife was ever
capable of. At any rate, she shall
go down In history along with Mary
Lamb as one of those sisters who j
devotedly loved a brother. Could
every sweetheart love sweetheart as
Henrietta lover her brother, could
'eAery husband and wife approximate!
the wonderful love that this devoted
Bister borp for her brother, the dij
vorce mills would cease forever to
grind.
i A great German critic has said
that Elizabeth Barrett and Ro-!
[ert Browning were the most perfect
lovers in the history of the world.
Their beautiful love lasted until
death. When Elizabeth Harrell realized
that she loved Robert Browning
with all the depth of her being,
she composed those wonderful Sonnets
in The Portugese. For some ti*ie
she did not even let Browning see
them but'when he did see them he
pronounced them pure poetry. Time
and criticism have verified the verdict
of the rapturous lover. To drink
in these sonnets can not but purify
| the fountains of mortal love, they
cannot but sweeten the springs of
happiness. Somehow we feed and
grow off of other human souls, be
:they good or bad. That Elizabeth Bar'
rett bared her soul to Robert Brown|
ing ought to make every lover in the
world a better and truer lover.
Just such is the purpose of the
great and growing literature of love
end exalted passion?to purify our
too earthly loves, to sweeten the
1 corroding acid of selfishness lest it
consume our soul^, to teach us to
love less selflph *'*\d more unsel
