. OUR NEIGHBORS.
* i
If the Press and Banner knows itself
it would not advise the people of
Abbeville to do anything which would j
cripple an industry in the neighbor-j
ing city of Greenwood, certainly not
an institution which is filling an im-j
perative necessity like the Bailey
Military Institute.
On the other hand, we do not be-J
lieve that either Maj. Bailey or the
business men of Greenwood have anything
against the town of Abbeville.
They are interested, of course^ in the
development of their own enterprises:
and institutions, and it is but natural'
and?right that they should seek firstj
the welfare <^f their own enterprises
and institutions.
We regret that the suggestion has
come from Greenwood that to establish
the Baptist Military School inj
Abbeville would to some extent crip-|
pie Bailey. We think the people "who!
have advanced the idea are ill advised
in matters pertainingVto pre?
'* paratory schools. Maj. Bailey natur-'
ally does not want his school in any-j
way crippled, and to do so would
mean not only a loss to him but a loss
to us, because^ if there is room for
only one school of this kind in this'
y section, and two are built, the likeli-j
hod is that both will prove failures, j
But what of the facts? According '
to our understanding Maj. Bailey the
present session has turned away more
than a hundred and fifty students
who applied for entrance into his institution.
If this is a fact, and such
is. our information as stated where are
these one hundred and fifty applicants
going? We know of no institution in
this good section into which they may
be admitted nor where they may secure
the necessary preparation for
entering college unconditioned.
We assume that these young men
""" vhose applications for entrance to ]
v Bailey and who were turned away i
have as much right to. be properly ]
prepared for colleee as have the three
hundred and fifty who have been ad-\
* mitted. We think nobody will deny \
this. We are further of the opinion <
that another school with one hundred <
E 3
and fifty preparatory students can be j
made self-supporting. It can be so ,
made by charging enough to make it 2
so, and people these days are asking ^
for preparation and not for cheap ^
schools. It is the best schools tn the j
land that are being filled with stu- ?
dents, and which are turoing away
applicants for admission just as Maj.'^
Bailey has been forced this year to do.
Of'course by enlarging his plant Maj.
Bailey might another year take care
of these students. But his school is
prospering, we are told, and it is the ^
experience of the best teachers, we
believe, that a school with three hun-j^
dred pupils will do better work for ,
the individual than one with twice
this number. We have not heard this
1
denied. Then instead of enlarging
Bailey, why not establish another
?. i
scncoi in ADDevuie, wnere the inena\
ly rivalry between the two, would
enhance the interest of the friends of
each in the respective schools, and
where this rivalry would furnish an
impetus for more and better things
in each institution. Besides there are
those in A.bbeville able to attend a
local school* who cannot afford to go
elsewhere -for what these schools
offer. .j
We must have in Abbeville some
place to care for the students in the
high school department. The enrollment
this year as told by Maj. Fulp
warns us that another year it will
have outgrown our capacity to care
for these pupils. Where shall we
send our young boys? Is it better to
have a good school at home to which
we may seiiu cuem, anu wucic nicy
may be better prepared for college,
or is it better that they be sent to
Bailey at Greenwood, or to Wofford
Fitting School, or to Carlisle Fitting
School, or to some of the preparatory
schools in Georgia? All of us woujd
t'
\
J prefer that the work be done here. It ]
[may be done here and at much less :
[cost than by sending them to any of
these other places. If we only care <
for our own and the overflow from j
Bailey and the other schools we shall i
I have a full school. We cannot hurt i
' Maj. Bailey's splendid institution. We j
j would not do so if we could. j
We trust, therefore, that the sug-i
j gestion which has been advanced will1?
; be seenito be without merit; that wc l
may have the cordial co-operation of']
the good people of Greenwood in >
| building up this section, the prosper- N
ity of the whole depending on the ?
advancement and prosperity of every
part of the section. We hope that <
nobody will be deterred from helping
by the suggestion made, feeling that %
he or she may do somebody else an',
injury. The field of high school preparation
is no more covered than was
this great country settled and developed
when Columbus first discovered.1
America.
Let us proceed. *
MRS. ALICE AMANDA WALLACE
, ja
Newberry Observer. | ^
This community has been inex- ^
pressibly saddened by the death of
Mrs. W. H. Wallace.
c
A daughter of Lucien H. Lomax a
and Mary Elizabeth Duncan she was j
born at Abbeville, S. C., May 22,
1846/She'was educated at the Bar- ^
hamville school near Columbia, and y,
by her grandfather, Pro? David t
Duncan, of Wofford College, in
whose home she lived from girlhood v
on account of her mother's early t
death. t v
December 26, 1872, she was mar- f
ried to William Henry Wallace. She
had taught in the Spartanburg Fe- b
male college, and after her marriage ?
both taught in the Columbia Female f
college for two yars, and again for
two vears in the earlv 90's.
v " s
She is survived by her husband, e
the editor of the Newberry Observ- j
er, her only sistert Mrs. Tillie V.
Jones, of Ridge Springs, S. C., her ]\
son, Dr. David Waftace, professor n
of History and Economics in Wof- i
ford college, and four grandchil- t]
drer. Her only daughter, Lizzie,
died July 23, 1885, in her eighth n
year. She' was a singularly sweet and v
attractive child, and her Nfather told ?
me at th6 time of her death that she 0
had always been so affectionate and
obedient as never to have given her f mother
the slightest anxiety. ' Mrs.
Wallace lived in Newberry jberry
from July 1877 to the end of
her life, except one year of , residence
in Greenville and two in Co-, e
lumbia. And she was fully identi- rj
fied with all that was best in the life n
Df the town. A faithful member of g
hVio TVfo+VinHicf nVinvnh fvnm onrlVinn/1 1
she was always active in the work g
?f her church.S;he died at her home ^
in Newberry at 10 o'clock , on the ^
night of September 25, 1920, after ^
in illness of less than two days. On ^
;he afternoon of the 27th, she was ,
hi
aid to rest in Rosemont cemetery, ^
n the presence of a great crowd of .
sorrowing friends. r
I ^
She was an accomplished scholar, ^
'specially in history, English, litera:ure
and the classics. Th.e dedication a|
)f The Life of Henry Laurens, *a a]
lotable book written by her dis- st
;inguished son is at once a fine filial ^
;ribute anda just recognition of her U)
:ulture: "To my Mother, to whom

Many were not aware of her un3'bstrusive
literary attainments, but
ill knew and appreciated her gentleness
and refinement, her courtesy
and considerateness, her helpful
ind sympathetic interest in the welfare
of others. ^ j
The heart of the community goes
jut in the warmest sympathy to the
jereaved family, and most of all to
lim whose steadfast companion she
,vas on a long journey, and into
vhose home she brought sweetness i
