Un ??P SSH!1.' pniinni P HELPS WflHT SuHDDLS FOUR SCORE COMMUNITIES ARE AIDED FOR NEW SCHOOLS Letter Received By Anderson Ed ucator From State Superinten dent or* Education According to a letter just received by J. ll. Felton, county superintendant ii education, front J. E. Swcarlngcn, stutc superintendent, about $20,000 will br available till? year for Hie pur pose, of aiding communities to erect new school buildings. Thc following ta Mr. Swcaringen's letter in full: "During 1013, no State aid for school building," say? Mr. Swear In Ken. "wa? available. During 1012, tho building fund wa? exhausted early In the summer, leaving a heavy deilct ill this appropriation. "Every county hoard or education was urged t0 protect the building ap plications for 1912 by contributing the usual amount from the county build ing fund and a further amount from its discretionary county board fund. "The carrying out of the policy watt made possible by the second distribu tion of the state dispensary money in September 1913, und by the sjtllnt; aside for special purposes of one-hall of tlie one mill state tax last year. "I hope, therefore, that all build Ingu erected without State aid during 1012 and 1913 have been fully paid for. If any district 1B embarrased by un paid debts arising from new school buildings during 1912 or 1913 the sta tus of every such district will be fully considered upon the presentation of the facts. "The 1914 appropriation must be used for the completion of building al readv uniter wav. or for tho orn.-fjinn of new schoolhouses before Decem ber 31, of this year. Building already finished or building to be constructed, during 1913 cannot participate In the fund. The appropriation is for cur rent needs. Contingent improvements cannot be considered, because they are frequently never made. Future im provements- to be added after Jan uary 1. 1913, must be left to future ap propriations. "All school buildings erected at pub lic expense must be located on land owned in fee simple by the school dis trict trustees. Blue prints or all pro posed houses must be submitted to tho county board of education for approv al before extra aid can be legally gran tod. ? "Prof. R. K. Lee of Clemson college has rendered valuable assistance te tho schools by cooperating ?Uh the department In preparing a bulletin of-acbool- plans, and -by distributee blue prints free of cost. Any plan rec ommended by him will be approved in thia office. "Application blanks for building aid are enclosed herewith. The law re quires the payment of these claims In the order of their receipt. Any board of truotees planning a new building during 1914. or desiring to complete their schoolhouses this year should confer with you and send in both their plans and their applica tion at once. "If any school or district stands in need of extra aid, the local board should make application for a part of the $45,000 recently appropriated by the general assembly for needy schools This fund is especially de signed to protect the weak, short term schools In the rural districts. With lt 1 hope you will be able to run ev ery white school for a session of at least six months, or better still, seven months. "I tako lt for granted that every county superintendent and each coun ty board of education will have ex pended their county board fund deriv ad from the state dispensary balance, ss well as their county board fund derived from one-half of the 1013 one mill State school tax before any ap plication Is made for further State aid. 8ince these two county funds ruay be used in the discretion of county Behool officers, we cannot con" aistentiy ask for more money until the amounts in band have been fully util ised. At tlte aame time the uses of these two county board funds during 1913-1914 should Indicate and should regulate In no small measure thc nee? of the State contingent fund recently made available, gbfbgpyr. .ed MRS.

CHAUTAUQUA MAN IS COMING TO ANDERSON LADIES WILL PROBABLY SELL THE TICKETS SITH IS SELECTED Tent Arrives Next Week and Will Be Pitched on Ligon Lot On Main Street Determined that the iirst chautau qua week Anderson has ever experi enced shall not bc a failure, the Red path Chautauqua Association is send-! lng several advertising experts to this city to work up interest in the ap proaching attraction which is to be- , gin here on April 28 and continue un-, til May 4. 1 Raymond Harrington arrived in Anderson yesterday und spent the en tire day in closing advertising con tracts, arranging for tie bill posting. . securing the location for the tent and ' conferring with thc members of the ' Ladies Civic Association concerning the selling of the tickets. Mr. Har-: ringt mi will leave Anderson this morn- \ lng but he will be followed in a week hy another advertising man who will take up tlie work where he has left off. Tills man will bring with him 15 gay banners, measuring 80 feet in length and these will be strung around the court house square, overi thc plaza and in the various places where they will be displayed to the best advantage. ' 1 Mr. Harrington yesterday closed a contract for the huge tent to be pitch- ? i d on the Ligon lot on Main street. This is the best location possible for > the attraction and no better site could have been secured. It is easily accessible from all parts of the city. ' The tent will arrive during the mid dle of next week, four college stu dents coming with it to have charge of thc work of erecting it and getting ready for the first day of Anderson's week of entertainment. I The advertising man here yester day placed numbers of programs In every store in the city and the public, can secure these free of charge by, calling at the stores or at the cham ber of commerce and asking for them. . Mr. Harrington took up with the ladies of the Civic Association the question of their selling the ticketB and lt is understood that nb] proposi tion met with favor. The officers of the association did not finally agree to undertake the work but it ls un derstood that they will probably ac cept and a meeting of that body has beep called for next Friday afternoon at which time a decision will be reached, lt ls planned to make a house to house canvass in the effort' to dispose of as many season tickets ns possible, although a single ticket for one night's performance will also be sold. 1 - This chautauqua *ro?A meanB a great deal to Anderson. It means that Anderson peopl ? will IOBO quite i a good bunch of money if the publie fails to patronise the attraction and worse than that, it means that no more such high class entertainments will be secured here if Anderson folks do not help make this a financial suc cess, v MANY COlVlTv?E?TS ON THREE SUNS Anderson People Could Not Un? derstand Sight Witnessed Set ts day Morning Anderson people could not under- . stand the sight they saw Saturday j morning when three suns were visible . in thc sky. One Bun was. on either j site of the main sun and over the top of this seemed to be a half-crescent. | None of those witnessing the sight could remember ever having seen any thing of the kind before. The circle was unusually large, mil lions of miles in circumference. Sclentiests say the halo ? la cauaed ?rom a refraction of light coming [through th? moisture, which at such ti height from the earth ls frozsn. The Says ot light In passing from' one medium to another medium of greater 1 density are refracted or. bent down, thus producing the beautiful pheno menon.
