Last week there was a list of names : in the Greenwood papers of persons who were up before the mayor for exceeding the speed limit.

The reporter made Mr. W. H. Hafdeman a Mason last week when he should have put him down as an Odd Fellow. The reporter will not lay it on the printer or the proof reader. There are so many meetings, and so many Xewberrians in the front ranks, that it is not to be wondered at when a mere reporter slips up in trying to keep up with them. People from th-e country come in and inspect the new postoffice build ing. Tney pronounce 11 a oeauuiui structure which pleases them very much. They like the looks of the edifice itself but are horrified at the surroundings, thinking they have better paths to their hog pens than Newberry has from the postoffic-e to the depot. Mr. Clarence Hutchinson's little son Roland met with a painful and n;ar serious accident on Friday afternoon. While riding his bicycle down the hill at the depot a horse shoe caught in the wheel throwing him off and bruising him considerably, knocking him unconscious for a little while. Dr. W. E.

The Herald and News has received word that it overlooked Helena when it made' mention of -perfect babies. Th<> reDorter was afraid he was court ing trouble when he mentioned babies. It is like mentioning gardens. One is treading on dangerous ground when tie enters those realms. (The reporter ieclines, in advance, the invitation to act as judge at a baby show.) Helena must understand that the mention was of babies in the plural when it was said that Newberry is the place for perfect babies. There is only one baby to mention at Helena, just at this time.

I The county superintendent of eduj cation, E. H. Aull, makes the follow| ing statement in regard to school I matters: "The election in the McCollough school district on th-e question of vot1 ing a two mill tax resulted 19 in favor ! of th? tax and 1 against. "In the St. Lukes school district, | the election was held on Saturdav on i the question of voting a four mill tax j sn a? to establish q rural graded j school, and I am informed that the itax was lost by one vot-e, there b ing ! 19 votes in favor of the tax and 20 against. Two voters who would have j \ voted for the tax found when they got to the polls that they did not have their registration certificates. I had j hoped very much that the people of j the St. Luke^ district had seen the ' light and would vote the four mill tax, and I rgret very much their j failure to do so, especially on account; of the great number of bright little j girls and boys in the district who nesd better school facilities. I do not be- , lieve there is a district in South Carj olina that has a bette- opportunity for : building up a rural graded school and very soon a country high school than St. Lukes has. The past year the enrollment was a little over a hundred and the public fund is not sufficient to iL ^ ~ ^ "U ^^1 Ar* f V? r* r\ n 1 V j mil Lilt; SUHUUl live '"Uiiiiia | two teachers. By voting th-e four mill ! i tax, receiving $300 aid from the State, i the district could have had at least j seven months with three teachers. The j | tctal tax to each taxpayer would have ' been very little comparatively. This j is one of the first districts that I vis- ; ited more than a year ago with the; view of endeavoring to indue0 the peo- j pie to levy a tax so as to establish j a rural, graded school because the ma- ! terial is there and the opportunity of building up a model rural graded school and soon a first class country + high school. This is the second election that has been held during the present school year, and I am gratified to see that the sentiment is growing in favor of improving school facilities. "I hope that the effort which .has l hopn nnt forth to induce the people ! * 7 " | to do something will be continued and that another election will be held very soon, and I am satisfied that the result will be favorable. "There is now only one other elec' tion t <f be held during this school ! j year in the Pomaria school district, j where it is proposed to vote a four j I mill tax and establish a rural graded j school. This election will be held on Friday of this week, and I am satis- j tied will result favorably. "The districts that have voted a four i | mill tax during this school year are: ! Jelly Street, Trinity, Zion, .Talapa, and ? " f XI *11 1 siiverstreet. ah oi inese win ue en- i titled to $200 for maintenance from the State provided they erect suitable buildings and proper equipment which will comply with the requirements of the State law. The county board at its meeting held last week passed a resolution expressing the policy of the board to be to erect buildings in -these districts in the order named and to pay lor same out of the proceeds of the onehalf mill tax. Of course, this tax will not be available until it is collected during the next fiscal year, but ar rangements may be made to put the buildings up and pay for them when the taxes are collected. This will have to be done in order that the schools may get this State aid. The idea of the board in adopting this policy is to encourage the establishment in rural districts of rural graded schools. The appropriation is made on two conditions; one, that the trustees will submit plans and specifications to the board to be approved by the board befor any money is expended, and second, that the people of the community will litf in every way within their j I power in the construction of the'building.
