"The public school house is the great melting pot of democracy."? Wood row Wilson. "The schools should become educational and social centres for adults as well as children."?President Taft. "We can make each school house the senate chamber of the people."? Theodore Roosevelt. "The school house should be the headquarters of the neighborly civic life."?Helen Varick Bosw-ell. "I am more interested in what you are doing and what it stands for than anything else in the world, you are buttressing the foundations of democracy."?Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Hughes, in an address at Rochester School House Social Centre. Speaking of schools and the part they should play in the life and development of the community, reminds us that there is a vast amount of WOrk yet to be done in this country. Our schools, especially those in the nonntrv districts, are far from what they should be, and while we all agree that this is the case, few of us are really doing anything about it. If we are not mistaken, the- teachers' association of this county has fallen to pieces for the want of interest in the organization. This only shows how we are allowing things to drift along, right under the very towers that rise above two of the greatest colleges in the South. The city of Spartanburg is an educational centre. Its collegia matp it famous, vet the schools of the county, that should be sending these institutions hundreds of boys and young ladies, are being neglected. If we are to have well rounded development in this county every school must do its duty. With the talent j and zeal we have represented in the schools and colleges of this city, and the other^ towns of the county, wei should be able to draw a force that would make itself felt in an educational campaign that would attract attention the country over. What is more important than such ~ - - ? * J x-u ~ work? in wnat way couxu uie euuwtors of Spartanburg render greater service to their people??Spartanburg Herald. Hail the school house! Discover the school house. That is the doctrine we have been preaching up and downj through Newberry county for the pastj fifteen months, and .even many years before, and we have been doing it with all the power and energy that we possessed. It is the great problem be* " T'flO fore tne American ycupic wuuj. problem of the rural school, and thatj includes the schools in what we would term the urban sections of Newberry county. Tt is a great work, with great possibilities, the work of getting the people aroused and awakened and interested in the upbuilding of the schools of the country. Knowledge and information as to conditions must precede any perma nent or lasting improvement, and, therefore, it is necessary first to I arouse the people to the real condi-! tions, and then you are in position to do constructive work, for when the people once wake up to the conditions as they exist they will do things. * - % * -3 ? ?11 There must be a leaaer, a gum-?, mi-: ed with enthusiasm and possessed of! good judgment so as to give intelli-' gent direction to the energies of thfi p-eople on ;e they are aroused. Many J of the people of this country, in the urban as well as in the rural coinmun-' ities, have not yet discovered the! school house in the proper sense. < I "Whenever the school house is made + noTitpa /-?f fho. lifp thPll I HIC t Vi lag ..*.v w ? you will see the community grow and prosper. The first .step, and the im- j portant one at this time, is to get the? J people to see the conditions and then you will be able to get them to act. Agitation and publicity are very great agencies in bringing about results, and the newspaper that helps in the work is doing a service to the country and to th-p rising veneration. You must have teachers wh"> have the fires er.thii=i0sm burr:* th?r very ^-Is co 'hat they will inspire the children. RURAL IMPROVEMENTS. FcJeral a -pi.iations of twenty fi- "'y . f I ill building good roads has boon proposed by a bill in the s- nate. The bill contemplates the apportionment ~onmnor tlm Qrntps Jircord- I UI tills 1U11U vxiv^ K/wuv ^ ing to population and mileage of post roads, each State to pay half the cost of construction. This is an excellent bill and we hope our congressmen will get busy in its behalf. For constructive work along material lines, we think of none more important now than the building of good roads. i The construction of good roads and fnctmrtion of nur DU I HiC pils and farmers along agricultural lines must both come before there is any great material advancement in either town or country and we had i just as well see the point right now I and begin something definite. These are two things for which the Herald i firmly stands.?Laurensville Herald. These are mighty good things for * * - ?* ?J in th*3 ! which to siy.ilu. *jruuvi ov-uvyvis, ?? country and good roads must go together and it has always been beyond our comprehension how any one could oppose a reasonable expenditure for these two great agencies of civilization. Money spent for roads and the I education of the children is an investment that pays bigger dividends than any other investment you can make. 4 Why don't those State house officers shake hands and make up. There are' too many big things to do to be fanning the flames of little differences. It is rot nice to call one another bad j names. Supervisor Hill has promised tc use his motor scrapes 011 the Whitmire ; road before the 2*th ad in plenty time to have .the road in fine condition for the trip of the teachers to this j town to the teachers meeting. It will be a great trip for the teachers and; we will be delighted to have Mr. Hill meet with us at that time. j A little dragging or scraping of the; road to Silverstreet would put it in j fine condition. Supervisor Hill is doing some good work at the crossing of Beaverdam creek. We are pleased to note and to comj * nifn tn tTlO ' men a tne lmpiuvcmcuvo w j grounds around the court house and the nice cement walk leading up to the building. We understand that some improvements are to be made to : the old court house- building. This' is well also. They are needed and i _ I this is too good an old building to tear j down when it can be used for so many i good purposes and to the benefit of all | the people of the county. Newberry comes in for a very small! portion of the school fund which has j been borrowed. We have three high schools that participate in the high j I school fund, but we understand that i there was no shortage in that fund. { We have four schools that participate. in the term extension fund and three j of these have already received their j " - -i 1 nnv.rt^ci money tor tms schuuj yeai. luuvj : nre several library applications await- j ing this money. By another year it is j expected that some four or five districts will take advantage of the rural graded school act and apply for Stat9 aid. Just as soon as the Democrats pro pose to have free sugar, the congress- j men from the sugar producing States get sour. "When free wool is mentioned, the congressmen from the sh-eep raising States trov to pull it ov- j er the eyes of the nation by saying j that any such thing would be a calamity. And finally when free shoe leathi er is talked of the congressmen from 1 the shoe manufacturing States put their foot down on the proposition. Verily there are some breakers ahead ' of those who steer the tariff revision j ship.?Greenville News. The trouble with the whole tariff j discussion and the tariff itself is that j it is in a large sense a local matter?! that is, human nature is so constitut-1 i ed that we are all more or less?and generally more?selfish, and we op t pose a protective tariff when a protective tariff beefits the other fellow, but when it comes home to our own little selves and the industries of our j section tlujn we favor a protection. So j long as the South, for instance, grew ' i l nor manufactured :nything that could j be protected w-e wore inclined to fre? j trade. It all largely depends on j | ?w ^ j \ A W ^ NEWBERK YWI\S. Hosted Furman in 11 Inning Contest At C<?llc'2re Pnrk Saturday Afternoon. In one of the most exciting gam^s ever staged at College Park Newberry bestcd Furman university in an eleven inning contest 2 to 1 last Saturday afternoon. The large crowd was kept keyed up to the highest pitch at all times by the closeness of the score and brilliant playing by the two teams. The students of the college, with pennants flying, and led by the city band marched from the public square to the college and then on the field where, to the tune of Dixie, the championship banner which was won last year was rais-ed by Prof. S. J. Derrick. After several yells the boys took their accustomed places behind the side lines and the first game of the championship series at Newberry was started with Browne and Brown doing the battery work for the visitors and Eidson and Mayes working for Xewberrv. Things looked- a little dark for the scarlet and gray in the first when Furman pushed one across the plate on four errors. Nelson was safe on Keitt's error and reached second when Boland dropped Keitt's peg. Brown fl-ew out to second but when Baker fumbled Mobley's grounder Nelson took third. Mobley stole second. However Nelson was caught at the plate Mayes to Eidson on a short passed ball. Poteat skied to center but when Brooks muffed, Mobley tallied the first score of the game. Milford ?nded the inning by whiffing. Keitt, in Newberry's half, pasted the first ball pitched by Browne for three bases and scored on Floyd's fielder's choice to third. There was nothing else doing in the scoring line until the eleventh. In the fifth Furman filled the bases with two down but the necessary hit was not forthcoming. At no other stage of the game did the Baptists threaten to score. Newberry had numerous opportunities to put the game away but each time hit straight at one of the opposing players. The Furman team played a fine game and supported Browne in big league style as can be proven by Newberry having no les than twelve men left on bases. Brown's catching, a *' * -A-*- ? ? TTWv'i-iri cr'a lino f^TlVP sensational stao ayuut, o ****,_ ^_ in the ninth by Nelson, and the batting of Jones featured for the Greenvillites. "Miss" Eidson's pitching was truly wonderful, having the reputed heavy sluggers of the visitors at his mercy throughout the entire game and was as strong at the end of the leventh as the first. Six strikeout, six widely scattered hits but one pass to first nlainlv tells what Furman could not do. Baker's fielding also featured, Ralph accepting ten out of eleven chances and twas his bit t^at brought Keitt heme with the winning run in the eleventh. Keitt and Mayes starred with the stick, the former getting a triple and two singles, while Mayes rapped out a triple and one single out of four times up. ~ - A~^+ ^\-n hr?fh cirips was l'ne eAuiLciiicni/ uu high in the eleventh. With two down Pote-at doubled to right, but was stranded when Boland made a neat catch of Milford's fly. Keitt started the ball rolling by hitting safe through short, was caught between first and second and finally gained the keystone cushion when Drummond threw wild. Floyd advanced him to third on a clean rap to right, and Josephus crossed the rubber with the game ~ J -r-v /-V f r\ when BaKer irammeu tre. Tliis hit, however, counts but for a single as that was aii that was needed to tie the score. Just a.Note or Two. Newberry choked the bases in the second and third but the clean up man was missing. Epting's catch and drive in the third inning was one of the features of the t rn-u;^ oomn "Yl<rcrpr" rtlaVfid tlciy. I liis aa-ll. r ? a Tood game and came within an inch of breaking it up in the ninth. The GreenviJ? V ittcrv showed good judgment in purposely passing Wise in the ninth with two down and a man on third. j Don't forgei gotiating loam proved farms years at 7 per to my offk c will be gkc* u J.A.BL . . * JL-, V f U. j x ho ^ oiioge oi t l.aii>u?ii colics ior two games n-xt week.
