.INO. K. S WK A HING KN
ON STATE SCHOOLS
Makes Interesting and Instructive
Address to Trustees ut the
Court Hause.
Greenwood Journal.
A plea for the sevcu-rnonlhs school
in South Carolina and a call upon th
people of Greenwood county to im
prove Hie condition of schools in the
rural districts featured an interesting
and instructive address made by thin,
.lohn K. Swearingen, state superinten
dent of education, at the court house
Monday morning.
Mr. Swarelngen stated that he was
proud of the record thal is being made
by thc county supcrhitciidnts of edu
cation ?ind the GOOD trustees in the
pt a te, laying a special compliment
lo the latter who are working with
out stint and without money. Ile
came to Oreen wood lo discuss th<
der that his oftlce and the county might
get together. ,
The chief druw back in the di; w
i tiona] system of the state, said Mr.
I Swearingen is the short terni school,
the term for white schools last year
being utily ll!? days and thc average
term three months short of th?; liest.
He believes that every school should
nm seven months and tl.ut ls what thc
educational leaders are working for.
We ure proud of our slate our coun
ties und oui homes" suid Mr. Swear
ingen. "but it should be our ambition
to make our hom., school as gootl as
any man's home school." The state In
now giving its children ii 11 rt li grade
education. If tho schools are made
seven months there will bu a 17 per
cent increase in the time.
To bring about the desired end lo
cal co-operation is needed. The prop
er interest is ?bow n by the money that
Is put into schools. Over 100 schools
in thc state are now paying S mills in
addition to the constitutional tas. Mr.
Swearingcn mentioned a school in
Horry county as an Illustration of
what can bo done by proper commute
ity . ^lirit. A district in that county
where there are no manufacturing en
terprises and not even a large mercan
tile establishments, the patrons
erected a $4.000 school building and
secured thc right to vote 17 mills In
order to have a seven-months s . hool
next year. ,
Mr. Swearingen gave interesting
facts on the various schools in thrs
state, from the one-teacher to thc
county high school, and made a plc.
for the people of Oreenwood county to
follow the example of other counties.
In Ander: on there arc 2C consolidated
schools and it is expected thal ten
more will be added by special tax elec
tion!'. He urged that where FiO chil
dren may bo sent to one school thc
hoper to :;ne al least six rural graded
schools in this county hy next. year.
A school with 50 pupils and two teach
ers "gets $200 state aid and om* with
7T> pupils and three teachers g"ts
There are 240 schools of this
type in the state.
Mt. Swearingcn-stated that any dis
trict that deBires a new building ran
get $300 from tho state and $2C0 from
the county if the district raises $C00.
He recommends a lot of not less t?idn
four aurea. Wiere schools uro con
solidated the state and county will
give S">0 additional.
Practically every school district in
the county was represented in the au
dience that heard Mr. Swearingen.
His address will no doubt increase in
terest in the Behool question in Green
wood.

(By A. M. Barnes.)
Though so many Jokes ?iavo benn
rumie ut tlie expense of the name
Smith, it 1? u good sterling old name
despite the minsters. People by the
name of Smith have don? sume mighty
big things in this world and some
mightv tine ones.
T nm thinking now of two Smiths,
both of whom lived in South "arollnn.
Though . -nther did anything wonder
ful in th?, way of notable achievement
and neither annie has conspicuous
place on the roll of fame. Ftill each
was a benefactxir in ,lhs w'ty rind J eft
Hie world largely In T:is d';bt.
First of "ll wnp Landgrave Thomts
Smith, of Charleston, S. C., then
Charles Town, in Carolina. Despite
Iiis somewhat high-sounding title and
his goodly store nf worldly posses
sions. Landgrave Thomas was an ar
dent son of the soil. Ile gav indus
trious attention to his manv acres on
Cooper river. Although he bau iii?
town he ejfv and lived t'"or<* in much
style, he Jifccd to be known ns a omi
try gentleman. We would all h!m a
former now
Before coming to Phnrlei T?v?n.
Smith hail spent some t nie-ir Mv'*
gasear and had seen rice growths' Ho
\ believed thai it could be suref i'ly
cultivated in the cleared swamu lio-d-*.
He tried for a long white to prc-uro
some seed so as to experiment wltb it.
hut wns unsuccessful until one morn
ing n -.hin. dat had come to grief in a
1 severe storm, put into Charles Town
harbor for repnirs.
I Now. it chanced I lin t this vessel was
from Madasgacar, and the captain
nroved to he an old acquaintance.of
I/n-ndgrave Ftnltli. Mr. Smith told
him of the desire he bud long cher
ished to possess some rice seed. The
cantain was pleased that lie could
obliged him, though he expressed re
glet Uiat the ntoe.k'aboard of the val
uable cereal lind run low. A por
tion of rough rice was finally obtained
from Hie cook's galley, placed in a
small canvas pocket and iyrcs?nted to
Mr Smith.
?. Then Landgrvae Smith departed in
triumph, bearing Iiis precious sack of
rice seed and publishing the good news
along the way from the1 wdiarf lo hts
home. As elated as he felt, even he
could not foresee the great results to
spring from that tiny hag of seed. This
was in 1693. Mr. Smith planted the
first seed In a' moist spot in the gar
den of lils town house. When fie
crop was harvested he carefully sort
ed the seed, did them, up in small
packages, and distributed them to
ottier planters.
At that time the people of diaries
I Town and vicinity were sorelv pressed
for food supplies. The colony was
barely twenty years old. Th;? lands
were wild; to a considerable extent
they woro marsh lands.* ,(.The modes
of agriculture were crudei* The chief
sources of roven ne at-that time were
tar. pitch, qak^nd pine boards, and
barrCl ^ftlave^ ^hetio^wero s-?nt to
England and to the . 'rVeist Indies,
w'hPiK^'addUmhs to--tim food supply
were received in exchange.
When Landgrave Smith: planted his
first erop;rof rice and.shared wi;li his
neighbors and friends i|fO)"Secd from
[ his first harvest, bia oh?Hhought was
that by the cultivation of this valuable
' cereal they might have another and a
most substantial article of food. I <>
?over dreamed of tho source-of wcaltu
it wns to become. 'By ' 7:i?,,?ji'j. su;:'
clent to feed the people was bein:1
raised In the colony, and In additlor
1 from twenty to thirty thousand bar
rel so.fit were being exported. Tut
j years later' thc. ex port. had. ^Increase.)
Ito seventy-six thousand barr?is an
rmull.v-a noble result ru ly to ? onie
from on? man's foresight ?inti patient
labor. All honor, then, to Lnu-1
grave Thomas Smith and his little sack
of seed rice!
Tile otlter Smith was Dr. J. Law
rence Smith. He, too. livsd in
Charleston, s. c. He was a studio;;?
boy ainfc was always looking out for
useful Illings to do. He had, loo, a
brigid. Inquiring mind. He wanton
to know tim why und wherefore of
Illings. He took nothing on chance;
be studied it out. He fired no ran
dom shots. He waited till he waa
sure his sight was aimed true at the
target, then fired away'. He hud the
gift. too. of seeing the importan.*-! '?f
little tilings-that is, of things .-eem
ingly little. I-ut really of moment.ms
Import. After be grew up and grad
uated. In went traveling. He visit
ed various parts of the world und kept
his eyes open. He saw many won
derful things, one! he knew how to
writ?? about them no tlint other people
could see th*?m too. ll?* attracted the
attention of tho Sultan of Turkey, who
"(Ti red him a tempting HI In ry to come
to come und act/ as his geological tf.l'**
veyor. Ho imirte many interesting
discoveries addine new luurels to his
name all thc while. Finally he wus
font m Asia Minor to teach the na
tives how to grow cotton. While lhere
he dh overed the famous emery mln?H.
After a While li? caine back to h's
native slate, to thc city of his birth.
He hadn't boen turre.long wh?n he be
han to tell the planters and others that
their seemingly worth less swamp
lands held a source of wealth far be
yond what any crop on their tin'-st soil
could yield tiicin. Finally he waxed !
so eloquent on the subject that two
or three started out lo dig for the
treasure, when, lo! the richest phos
phor- deposits in the history of min-'
ing were unearthed.
This, however, Isn't the chief reason I
that Dr. J. Lawrence Smith is to bel
remembered by the peopl" of his nu
tlve city. It was a little thing, after
al!, a little tiling with far-reaching re- ?
suit?, like Landgrave Thomas Smith's j
small sack of need rire. When J.
La WT nee Smith came home from his |
delving among the rocks and minerals
ot Turkey and elsewhere he brought
with him from Smyrna some rootlets
of the celestial Mg. He wes sure it
would prove a prolific grower in
Charleston and he was right. In the
garden of his home on Meeting street
were cultivated the tlrst celestial figs
ever grown? in America; and from
those llrst few rootlets have come thc
luxurious growths with their wealth
of sugary sweetness that makes
Charleston, S. C., renowned Cte coun
try over for its delicious figs.
