dollar State aided high school next
fall, Lexington will be coming some. ,

adays? It very freqaently comes in <
corked and well sealed bottles, marked t

Bryan, the great Commoner, is mak- 1
ing a trip through the state delivering 3
his famous lecture, "The Prince of
Peace." He is said to he opposed to
Judson Harmon's nomination for the '
presidency in 1912. *
Mr. D. R. Haltiwanger, our assist- .
ant editor is off on a much needed vacation,
being a member of the fishing (
party now on Cedar creek. Mr. Haltiwanger
is attentive to his business and (
we are glad that he is enjoying his va- ,
cation, while we envy, however, those (
fine, brown fried crispy, jack and trout ,
that we know he is so eagerly devour- ,

The Firemen's Tournament in Co- >
Jnmbia next week, Tuesday to Thurs *
- day, inclusive, will doubtless cause 1
the Capital City to outdo herself in <
her hospitable efforts to entertain the I
throngs of visitors who will come from 1
all over the State. Columbians never 1
do things by halves, and we are sure *
that the hospitality characteristic of
the city will further strengthen its c
claim to "The Square Meal Town." }
======== s
Columbia is not only famous as "the v
snnarfi mp?l town.'' but she is - also t
noted for the beauty of her fair sex. o
We are so inspired by the loveliness t
of her pretty women that we are P
tempted to compose poetry. Perhaps a
an effort is feeble but, nevertheless it 1
expresses our thoughts. iJ
"I have travelled East, 1
I have travelled West t
But the girls of Columbia t
Are still the best." s
' o
We are pleased to state that the
"petitions which are being circulated to ii
' Ot)t&lQ SUIDCldnii s?ijjnti"8 n>f i/iuciiug <?
the school election are being heartily o
received. A good number of the big- s
gest froperfcy owners have already f
- signed it. This is the best of indica- c
tioD9. They are the people who pay c
the most for such improvements, c
Some of them have been looking up f
the man with the petition in order to t
get their names on. .
In *iew of that, can the man who \
pays a small tax, raise any objection? .
If so, where? Let us hear it. But 1
dont come out as a knocker just be- )
cause you can. That is always un- \
pleasant. Let this be a harmonioi s I
mr.rompnt. ]
The farmers of the country have suf- J
fered most but the complaint has not
"been loud. Crops, now are lcokirg ]
well, especially where good stands <
could be gotten. The moisture of the '
last few days will brng up the seed 1
and, altogether, the prospects a*re not 1
bad. If our fall season is long, the
delayed plantings will mature in tin e 1
io be harvested. We are learning now <
that cotton can be grown without con- (
: stant rainfall during the growth of the
plant if the soil is properly prepar< d {
and treated before plan'ing. So also 1
with corn and many other crops o:
this section. Science if in the fields 1
now, and the man with the brains has (
taken the place of "the man with the ^
hoc." Intensified methods aie on and
we are getting big results. There are
still a few skeptics about but they are ?
few and will toon be crowded out. {
s
The sooner they go, the better, but try !
to teach them before they go, and you '
render the state a great service. This
is your duty as a citizen to the nation, j
. .
Act flie Gentleman.
The strongest characteristic of a
gentleman is hfs good behavior in the
presence of ladies. When a man says
or does something that is vulgar and
degrading,? that is not genteel?in a
lady's presence, he lacks that much
of being a perfect gentleman, and he
has gained nothing.
We call attention especially to the
behavior of some few persons who
nightly attend the moving picture
show in town this week. The pitures
presented are clean, enterraining and
instructive, giving no basis whatever,
for an unclean remark. However,
some person or persons, through either
thoughtlessness or depravity of
mind, see fit to blurt ont remarks at
frequent intervals, that are really vulgar
and tend toward suggestiveness.
Let the smart, suggestive remarks be
nnsaid for the sake of the ladies prei ent,
and everybody will enjoy the entertainment.
We think that a great number of
3ur readers, residing in school dist: i *.t
No. 1, are aware of the movement
aow on foot to better the school conditions
of this district. We are sorry
:hat so many of you neglected to
aear the very forceful and convincing
address delivered in the court house
ast Friday nightby Prof. W. H. Hand,
;he State High School Inspector,
kny one hearing that address could
lot doubt that wo need to do something?and
that now.
The main points at issues are two:
;i) That a new school building be
irected,'and (2) that the number oi
teachers be increased. To anyone
vho is at all familiar with good school
architecture and good school hygiene,
>r\ armimonf, is npppssftrv in favnr nf a
aew building. Those who do not
know, should seek information as t(
what a school building ought to be;
and then put in your help to secure
one, The present structure is entirely
out of date and wholly inadequate,
rhe rooms are over-crowded now, and
if you expect the school to grow, yen
oan eacily conclude just what conditions
wiil soon exist.
If jour store room is too small, you
enlarge; if your barns are not big
enough, yon build bigger and bette)
one; if your mill is out-of-date, or
patched up, you erect a new and great
er plant. But you say, that is mj
Knci rtooo T KnnonoA 7
jvvu uuoiacoo) auu a. uv vuoi i
think it will pay. Exactly. And 80
is.a public school your own; and the
jain from a well equipped school is sc
nuch greater than your dollars and
jents that they at once become incomparable.
The fact is that a good achoo?
s the beat asset any community can
xave, and no section can rise without
t.
The second proposition is that of inreasing
the number of teachers. And
'oa don't have to be a professional
chool man to recognize that need
rhen you are told how many pupils
he teachers now have to handle. Anj
>ne with common judgment knows
! a. a. I 1 31 ~ ..'Li.
iiat no teacoer can nanuie eigofc}
upils. Neither can she teach with
,ny result, sixty, fifty, or even forty,
twenty to twenty-five is the maximum
f your teaching is to mean fcanyth'ng.
'hink of that. Put yourself in the
eachers place, Tlou wouldn't hold it
wo weeks: yet you expect great realts
from your children under s)rae o:
f the worst conditions.
Now what are you going to do about
t? Are you going to be satisfied with
he same old conditions in the same
ild way, when our neighbors on both
ides are going forward? Can we aford
anything but the best for our
ihildren?the future m,en and women
>1 tne homes ana ou>mess airairsr jno;
md we aren't. Then what? If we
*et a new building- and additional
ieacherg, will there be any cost? Yes.
\ great deal? Yes, but not too much;'
:or we are going to do a great deal.
A.nd did you ever get anything worth
while without paying for it? Or
aavent you heard that your dividends
ire big according as your investments
big? Other towns and communities
have done even more than we expect
to do, and we cant afford to let things
run as they are.
We will not do it if we have the
proper interest in the matter. But
don't worry alout the cost. It will be
so light on each individual that after
everything is up ana 0:1 ana over, you
will wonder how it was all done.
Worry about 3 our chhurt u?or about
your community life, ii you ha vent
children. Think long and steadily
ever the fact that they aren't getting
what they deserve. Thii k that you
ire about to let your child miss the
lest opportunity he will ever have,
rhink as a sane business man and get
n the movement. Do what your
'onntrv pvneets von to do: and von
tfill get results. Now is the time.
Attention is directed to Mr. A. Z. j
Stroman's ad. in this issue. He is an
louest, reliable business man and de- j
erve3 your patronage.
