Entered at the Postoffice v berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, February 20, 1912. South Carolina has bcrne her bur dens cheerfully. She has withstood the numerous and diverse actions of Blease. With no less than Christian fortitude has she endured this ses sion of the legislature, but the straw that broke the camel's back has now been placed upon her. Billy Banks has gone to writing poetry.-Gaffney Ledger. We agree with DeCamp that this is the last straw unless when an edi tor is going into poetry, he is fixing himself for "stratagem, spoils," etc., with apologies to Mr. Shakespeare. The Newberry Herald and News hears that Col. L. M. Green had been slated for Col. Ebbie Watson's job, the filling of which the legislature is trying to take away from the govser nor. One great difference between the two colonels, we believe, is that Col. Ebbie made his reputation as a traveller while Col. Green made his by staying at home.-News and Cour ier. The Herald and News did not say that it heard that Col. L. M. Green had been slated for the job. The Herald and News said that "they say" Col. Green was slated for the job and this information came from some Colum bia news bureau. The Herald and News did not hear in Columbia that Col. Green was slated for any job. "There seems to be lively times in Columbia," ventures the Newberry Herald and News, thereby incurring grave risk of establishing a reputation for rashness.-News and Courier. 1 >.t .was probably running a cbnsid erale risk to makeL any comment ou tlie action of certain members of the gener.al assembly and we hasted to s'ay that we had restnae to no par t1iulik jtn6h er r'epresentative. We ziot fee that our frie^nd, the Yorkville Enquirer, has come up for a few re marks under the head of "question of personal privilege." Of course the Enquirer would not be permitted to raise the question of personal privi lege in the same forum. This present legislature seems to have the faculty of putting things in or expunging from its journal any matter that its faency sees fit, and this regardless of whether a fair and square deal is giv en or not. .If the road drags belonging to Cherokee are put into active service and kept busy for a few days just as soon as possible after this spell of weather is ov'er it will not be long until our roads are in as good condi tion as ever, but if we had permanent roads, dragging would not even be necessary. It's a waste of money to construct anything but permanent roads.-Gaffney Ledger. All of which is ve.-y true, but even, the permanent roads made of almost any material in this co.untry need the use of the split log drag. This is pe culiarly true of sand-cla v roads, and' they are really the best '"oads, con sidering the cost,efor this section of the country. Even the roads of Rich land county, which have been ->raised ver; highly, and justly so, have suf fered very much during this winter for lack of the use of th~e 'split log drag. We know from expe cience in traveling over them, and kno-v also that if the split log drag had been used on these roads they migh-. not have b.een in the condition in which they were. A PUZZLING PROBLEII. The Greenwood Journal gets after the Orangeburg Times and Democrat very sharply for wanting the re-estab lishment of the dispensary in that county. The Times and Democrat says that blind tigers are run all over the county, and the Journal thinks that this position of the Times and Democrat is a surrender of the law less element and asks: "Why does not this staunch defender of the enforce mnent of law demand that the lawi against the illegal sale of whiskey be good people of tha: county surre:nr ] to the 1awless element?" The Times and Democrat might < very truly ask the Journal why it does ,not demand and secure the enforce- I ment of the law against the illegal sale of whiskey in Greenwood county. This position of the Journal re minds us of an incident that actually happened at Abbeville during the time when the dispensary w?s in Abbeville, and Greenwood was prohibition. It . is said that a traveling man, who reached Abbeville after sundown, was t anxious to secure some whiskey, and E he called the porter and told him of t his troubles. Whereupon the porter l replied that it would be impossible to secure any whiskey in Abbeville un-I til next morning as they had a dis pensary in that county, and it was ec closed. "But," said the porter, "if you C will get me a horse and buggy, I will t run down to Greenwood and get you all the whiskey you need." i We are told that at one of the very county of Grenewood, a vryeaoishrdlu small money order offices in the coun ty of Greenwood, a very large amount of money orders is sent off each 1 month, all of them going to whiskey houses. t It is a very puzzling problem to know what is the best to be done. We were talking to a gentleman on the i train only a few evenings ago. He had just returned from Nashville. It is now a prohibition city. He said that during the days of the legal sale of whiskey, the bar rooms were segre-t gated in one section of the city, but 1 now they may be found in every sec tion of the city and that they have r all of the paraphernalia and fixtures and allurements of the old bar rooms. t We would not be surprised to see a many of the counties re-establish the dispensaries. o bUR HOEd PN EDUCATION, The hope of our State lies in the e development of its schools. And there 1: is, in the contemplation of the possi- t bilities of the greater and broader de- b velopment of these schools, inspira tion for a life's worLh. Every agencye at the command of the State might well be concentrated in an effort to build up the schools of South Caro lina. The result of such concerted1 action would work a revolution int conditions in a wonderfully short. while and bring about changes most q to 'be desired in the State. South Carolina is illiterate, and she has a fearful crime record. Thesed things are an ever present reproach t and the only means of overcoming them lies in the better education of the children who are to be the future men and women of the common wealth. South Carolina has done her part along the lines of higher educa tion, but as a State it has neglected b the public school system-the only hope of the poor man's child. 2ut e the best instruction in the reach ofC these children, and, if a form of cam- 8 pulsory education is not to be had, bend every effort toward creating a r sentiment in the tSate that will carry I the white children into school. We believe the time is at hand for t a great revival of interest in this di- I rection and it is our opinion that 1 Spartanburg is the place for this ' movement to be launched. There 0 might be held in this city ,early in the coming summer, an educational y conference of Sta.e-wide conception, v to be attended by teache'rs and educa- t ors from all parts of South Carolina. S A program couM 1:e arranged that i would bring here to speak upon the question of education men and wo men of broad experience and national S reputations. The very best is none too good for t: South Carolina, and if the cause of j which we~ speak is worthy, and we allp know it is, why should it not be ~ championed in a way that would pro claifn its importance and inspire zeal I~ among those w~ho: would enlist in the A cause ?-Spartanburg Herald. The abovie is from the Spartanburg Herald of December. We have been thinking of getting up a revival meet ing in the interest of the schools of Tf Newberry county, and had suggestedn to some of the citizens of Newberry the idea of having a meeting about theC first of May and make an effort to have the trustees and patrons of thel ti rural schools to attend and see if we could not hav'e a real old time revival a meeting in the interest of the countryb n schools. It would not be a had ideaa to have four or five such meetings in b )r-sent men and women who are ia niliar with the real conditions of the ountry school to discuss it and to uggest ways and means for its bet erment. The dreamer is alright in his place nd in all forward movements and re- j ivals of the kind we have in mind, te is necessary to blaze the way, but vhat we need now, as we see it, is tot so much supervision as to arouse nterest in the people whose children .re directly concerned. As we see he situation, the great need at pres nt to improve the rural schools, is o wake up the people who are direct y concerned and whose chldren, rom the very nature of the case, can .ave no other educational advantage. Ve are satisfied that in a great many ases, at least, the parents of these hildren do not realize the gravity of, he situation or the importance of oing something to better the schools a the country. We believe that four or five meet-. rigs of the kind here indicated in the ifferent sections of the State would elp very materially in arousing tl is aterest. We hope before long to hav'e some lans formulated for such a meeting o be held in Newberry, primarily for he benefit of the rural schools in this ounty, and we hope to make it of tate wide interest. There is need or an awakening. Sometime last fall there was a re ival of education in one of the moun in counties of Tennessee, and they rovided a night school for thr"2e undred grown persons, so that the rown people might attend school at ight and the children in the day ime. It was such a success, that in very short time, the night school ad an enrolment of three thousand, nd they went to school up to the age f seventy-five, and everybody in the ounty could soon read and write. Of ouse, t~here is not so much illiteracy I i this county and in this State, but de children in the country have not ad their rights in this respect prop rly looked after. Adams-Fulenwider, Phifer F'ulenwider, Columbia's lead 2g pitcher last season and one of de best twirlers in the South Atlantic C ague, and Miss Louise Adams were uietly married yesterday afternoon ye t the home of the bride's mother. [r. and Mrs. Fulenwider left inmme- et iately after the ceremony for Char tte, N. C., from whence they go ka >Monroe, N. C., to spend some time t rith relatives of the bridegroom. On - 'ebruary 25 they go to Marlin prings, Tex., where "Fie" reports to de New York National league club y whom he was drafted from Colum ia. The ceremony yesterday after-v oon was performed by Rev. E. Ful nwider, pastor of the Lutherana hurch of the Redeemer, Newberry, a nd a brother of the groom. [d "Fie" Fulenwider is one of the bestt itchers the Columbia club has ever ad. He has been with the locals, aving been purchased in 1910 from 1e Chattanooga club of the Southern ague. He budded as a promising urler then, and last season blossomed ito a full grown star, and the class the league in the box.
