' .7 nadera school bailding. The present building is not ia keeping with the j sebaai itself, neither is it in keeping vriftfetfeat progressive spirit which is :v no manifest in other communities. What this district needs is first a "2-mill tax levy fer school purposes.' Nearly every town in the State, many r!: y". M them of much le9s proportions than .Lexington, have already voted for a 2-mill tax for school purposes. If tliis tax should be-voted the district could secure, we are^told, from the State the nti4 ottj-tp in tho ^ia. 3UUI Ui T'JW, Oi^a ... ?.? / trict, and all students of the c.ounty who could enter the high school, ,could receive an education absolutely free of charge. That we have one of the wery best-schools in the State no one <can deny; that we have, the facilities f i with which t?<make it a still greater school, no one can deny. What inducements, from an educational point -of view, are we holding out to those who would like to come to our town 1 to educate their children? Are we not -in position to offer ss great inducements as other towns in this particular? The present building is not adequate to accommodate the children who now attend; that is, it is not large enough 10 meet the demands of the * growing popularity of the institute. ' Realizing this, what encouragement are we giving our teachers? What are they to expect? Can we afford to ?it idly by and see other sections coming to the front, making improvement after improvement in their schools, and we ourselves make no effort to better our school? "Now is the time for the people to gei together and dis- 1 cuss this all-important question. There should be a public meeting of ] our citizens, called for ihi specific \ i .? purpose of discussing the proposition j l in a business-like manner. By all < means let us vote a 2-mill. levy for < school purposes?the new building c will follow. Let us act cow. I j Ntwspapers in Trouble With Postal Authorities. The following taken from the Publisher's Auxiliary, a newspaper for newspaper people will more fully explain to our subscribers why it is imperative that The Index discontinue sending the paper to every subscriber who is 12 months or more in arrears on subscription: The Index does not have many names on its subscription list that j would come under this head,Tint'there are some.. The Inde^ would like to accommodate all these as long as they -feel they should-.be accommodated, but the rule of the Post Office Depart> ment must be observed* For the sake of accommodation, do not ask us to .-carry your name any longer. Come and make some arrangements about it. Special agents of the postoffice department are traveling around the country dropping. into newspaper of? flees when least expected to * examine subscription lists, to ascertain if the regulations requiring payment in ad, vance is being observed. Several newspapers bave been in trouble, and here i9 a story told, by the Des Moines Capital': "- -liv ' ^ 'Editor Fay, of Lyons, Iowa, has been called/ to Washington city because his subscription list is not as well payed np as the law requires. He will have to explain to the government officials why he has not compelled his subscribers to pay up according to the postal rules. It seems a little tough that country editors, have to be hauled np before the government under the charge of violating the Federal laws just because they do not eternally keep dunning their subscribers for the small sum they owe on subscriptions, but it is like the end of the world; no one knows when it comorid an tnnTFPfh link nrhak day the inspector may pop in and ask to see his list. And if too many subscribers are behind on this paper, it mean3 trouble with the government. It puts the editor in such a shape that he is compelled to force his subscriptions unless he has an unusually prompt paying list of subscriber^." The See, a. newspaper published at Jefferson has been jerked up. This is what the editor said about it: "The Bee this morning received its first official summons from the pcstoffic3 department to conform with the ruling which requires the pay in advance. We can no longer send the paper to delinquents, no matter how willing, we,. may be to accommodate them. We sometime^ question the right of. Uncle $am to interfere in the conduct of legitimate business and 8 iy we shall pot extend credit if we want to, but whether right or wrong, we must conform to the regulation. It certainly will distress us greatly to cot off good and long time patrons who we know intend to pay, but are careless about the matter, and if such really want "the Bee, we know that they wilL come -to oar assistance - and .relieve us of tbir embarrassment. . "It is a very dangerous business for a newspaper mm to send papers to subscribers who are in arrears. "To be deprived of second class, privileges, which is the penalty of non-compliance with the ruling,; puts a newspaper ont of business, for the expense of putting a one cent stamp on every paper mailed amounts to more than the profits on tbe entire subscription business, to say nothing of the increased amount of labor which is acquired in affixing the stamps."? Gre snwood Index. The same postal rules and regulations tbafc applies to the above newspapers applies to The Dispatch. We dislike to cut iauybody from our list, but we cannot afiord to violate the postal laws. The Press Meeting. Tne South Carolina Pr-s< Association mot in til p. nitv of Co nmhia. last, week, convening in the rooms of the Colonia, Columbia's handsome tourist hotel, on Wednesday night. The first session was devoted entirely to the addresses of welcome by Mayor Gibbes, President Herbert of the Chamber of Commerce; to the response by W H. Hallace, of the Newberry Observer, and to the reading of the report of President Kohn. Thursday morniug there was a business session, and at 2 o'clock a barbecue served at R dgevcood. This was in charge of that prince of good fellows, A. Hamilton Seats, of The State, and a most excellent dinner was served. In the afternoon the members of the press witnessed the ball game as the guest of the Columbia Baseball association. On Friday after the close of business the feature of the day was the automobile drive around the city. To those who had never seen (*olum- * bia before, this trip was especially i pleasing. At the farm of Mr. A. E. Gonzales a rest was taken and delightful refreshments were served. Thiols me of the most ideal farms in the jountry. Here the editors saw, many >f them for the first time, a steam1 )low in operation. The reception acii' ' corded the editor* and the courtesies extended by Mr. Ambroze Gonzales will never be forgotten. In the afternoon the party again visited the baseball grounds at the invitation of the Columbia Baseball Club. y In the evening, at 8:30, in the opera house, Woodrow Wilson, president of New Jersey, a former Columbian, delivered the annual address before the press association. This was followed by a reception tendered Governor Wilson and the members of the press association in the beautiful gardens of the College for Wsmen. This was perhaps the most brilliant reception ever held in the city. This was in charge of a committee of ladies, and tpo much credit cannot be given them for the delightful manner in -which they received the members, of the press. This ended the session, and a great many of the members left on Saturday afternoon for Charleston, where they sailed on Sunday at 1 o'clock for a ten days' trip to New York. Prof. Cyrus L. Shealy to Go to Walterboro. ? .* r% ' * . t. ' ,, Prof. Cyrus Shealy, has just been notified of his election to the superfhtendency of the Waterboro High School, of Waterboro, S, C. This is a decided promotion and, coming as it does, entirely unsought, is a distinct compliment to hi9 ability. Mr. Shealy entered the University of South Carolina in the fall of 1904 and graduated with high honors m 1908. Before graduation he was elected principal of the Camden Grammar School, a position he has filled with eminent satisfaction for three years, as is evidenced by the fact that he was re-elected for a fourth .term. Prof. Shealy is only 27 years of age. He i9 a son of Mrs. E. L. Shealy, of Summit, and a brother of Hon. Frank W. Shealy, Lexington's popular and efficient clerk of the court. !V^r. Shealy will remain in Lexington for a few weeks prior to going to Wa'terbcro. A man must learn to hold liis tongue if he wouldchold his own. 11 lUiiuai . ^ , 1704-1706 Main SL, Spring Sale < Clothing For Men, ' (Jet ready and don't dela is fall to overflowing with o South Carolina.
