The State is now maintaing one hun dred and sixty-seven free scholarships in Clemson, one hundred and twenty four in Winthrop, sixty-eight in the Citadel and forty-three in the Univer sity. This policy has the sanction of long continued usage, and is generally sonsidered a part of the educational system of the State. It has stimulated many competent and ambitious stu dents to secure a college educati,n, and at the same time has brought col aegiate training within reach of scores otherwise unable to secure its advan Aages. It emphasizes the democracy of free public education by affording to all an opportunity to possess the inest culture obtainable in any of the State's institutions of higher learning, but the elements of the present 'y'.fm of scholarships have not been Arnon iously adjusted. The above is given out by State Su perintendent of Education J. E. Swear Sngen. He goes on to give the money value of the scholarships in the four State colleges. The Citadel is really supported by the scholarship system, each being worth about $300. In Clemson and the University each scholarship is worth about $100. And at Winthrop about the same. There are two scholarships $or each county gt the Citadel, which would now make eighty-six instead of sixty-eight. In addition to supporting the colleges liberally these scholar Ships call for an annual appropriation 9f about $70,000. ' Mr. Swearingen says the acts of the legislature were not passed at the sgme time and therefore are necessar 11Y Inhirionlous. In seae instances the scholarships are not sought and 'we believe all of them have n'ever beeni. 'kaken it the University: The fact is the schelarship system for the State olleges is altogether wi-ong. We are not now opposing any of the State colleges, and believe all of them should be liberally, but not extravagantly, supported- and that all of* them should furnish tuition free, and any boy or girl who lives in South Carolina should have the doors thrown open to him or to her without any cost except board and clothing, but there should be no scholarsip given to any one. The matter of pretending to charge tuition is a great farce and that law should also be repealed. Mr. Swearingen says: 'The State is now spending $70,000 a year to maintain free college schol arshblips. The four hundred and two scholarship studenfts constitute 21 per cent. of the enrolment in her colleges. But thbeir present status is unsatisfac tory, both to the college and to the State board of eduication. Thie present confusion will destroy the usefulness of the scholarship system by fostering unseemly rivalries and by condoning questionable practices. These abuses can be remedied 'without expense to the State or injury to State instiitu tions.'' The best and most sensible way for the State to Temedy the confusion is to abolish the scholarships altogether and to make tuition free. We firmly 'believe that any boy or girl in South Carolina who wants a college education and is prepared to enter the~ Freshman class and has the capacity to take an education can se cure one. And in many cases the schol arships go to those most able to edu cate themselves. The Columbia State on Sunday, the fiftieth anniversary of the secession of South Carolina from the Union, is sued a most valuable paper dealing with the events of those momentous times, and the men who took part in them. This edition is a fine contribu tion to the recorded history of the State. The ordinances of the town require all automobiles to come to a stop at the corner of Caldwell and Main streets. It is a good ordinance, but will avail but little unless enforced. There will be no issue of The Her iald and News next Tuesday, December 27. 'e 'lw'2ys take off one issue at Crisms and we have decided that it shanl bo next Tues1aY. Notice is given advertisers and those desiring communications that there will be no paper printed next Tuesday. One accident is reported from Char leston already as a result of Christ mas toys in the shape of cannon crack ers. We hope there will be a sane ob gvrvance of the Christmas- tide in Newberry. The same law as to shoot ing fireworks an the streets is still on the books. Let us hope it will be observed. NEWS OF PROSPERITY.

Spartanburg Herald Talks of Work Of Newberry Chamber of Commerce. Spartanburg Herald. The Chamber of Commerce of New berry will entertain at a banquet on Tuesday evening, December 20. Pres ident Finley, of the Southern railway, will be one of the speakers of the evening. A number of Spartanburg people have received invitations. The Newberry Chamber of Commerce, of which Mr. I. H. Hunt is president, has proven in many ways in recent months that it is an active and effective organ ization. Newberry's example might be very profitably followed by other cities of the Piedmont. If this great section of South Carolina is to be de veloped along broad and progressive lines the people of the many splendid cities of the region must work togeth er. A series of Chamber of Com merce banquets attended by the think ing, progressive men of the cities of the Piedmont would result in expand ing our business relations, and strengthening our social ties. Those Spartanburg citizens who visited Newberry last spring on an au tomobile trip will not soon forget the hospitality of that city. To Inspect Sewer and Water System.
