The Herald and News! Entered at the Postoffice x'^w|?rry, S. C., as 2*xi class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. "EViriaV. July 11, 1913. | I- gg "Why not organize that alfalfa club that Mr. Smith suggests and get him to instruct in the growing of alfalfa? Come on Mr. Summer and call that meeting of the automobile owners and let us get busy dragging the roads.! Especially the road from the Laurens line to the Lexington line and liave the best stretch of tbe Capital to Pied- j mont Highway. You could work won-1 i ders on that road by a little coopera tion. The Herald and News will help you. The Greenville Piedmont says a great many tourists are going through J the country from the low country to the mountains. A great many more would go if the roads were put in proper condition. And Newberry is ! the gateway from the low country to the up-country. To go to Spartanburg or Greenville or any part of the ?nrh up country you must come uauu6u , Newberry. It should be the pride of Newberry to have the ideal road from the low country and set the example I I for the rest of the way. "We now have a fairly good road but it needs maintenance. We noticed in the papers the other i day where some one was organizing! a lyceum course for .the rural schools. We had that in mind in all the schools we built or planned or suggested and never thought of building, planning or suggesting a school building with-: out providing an auditorium. A place j for the people of the community toj meet, and to Jiave lyceum courses or "any other entertainments they might j desire. The rural lyceum is a good j suggestion. An auditorium j.s just as j " important in the rural school house j as the class room. It is the only way '. to establish the rural community I centre. If these rural community centres are not established it means the depopulation of the rural districts of the most desirable citizens for they / i are going to educate their children, if to do so they have to move to the towns and centres of population. i ? s> THE IDLtli. ? | I came across a copy of Judge re% cently, and on' the first page was a beautiful and an instructive picture of a young man and a young woman in affectionate embrace, and on the side a little cupid *nd beneath the t picture these words were -^written: ^ "The sum of human happiness." The picture represented a lesson in addition. The lesson was one heart equal to one. One heart equal to one, and the total was two hearts equal to one. It -was a beautiful picture and a beautiful lesson and one that every man and e?ery woman who link their lives togeiQi^r should learn and then observe. voften in real life the sum does not add that way. The reason for so many unhappy homes tc V\ rvrt + Ttf s\ orf r*n f f A io ucvauoc tuc iwu w iiv oiai i UUL make the home do not learn this simple lesson in addition. It is easy and simple and I would commend it to every one who is conTemplating the establishment of a home, and to thos? who have already undertaken the es- j tablishment of a home! Th-9 fact is, ; if you have not learned this simple lesson in addition there can be no j happy home or any other kind worthy the name. Take it from me. ?o? | In a subsequent. issue of Judge,! which came under my observation! there was another picture on the first! page which represented a man in a j barber's chair with the barber trim.ming his hair, a manicurist paring his nails, a bootblack shining his shoes and he himself smoking away at a cigar, and beneath the picture these words: "A man of affairs." Too busy to attend to one thing at a time. He scarcely has time to learn the simple lesson mentioned above. Men of afI, v* U 4 J ww* /v ? ' laiia. xnc.v Liavcut time iur any tiling but to make money. They even haven't time to die, but some day they will have to take time for that. It won't matter then whether their shoes are sbined or their hair is trim r ~ med of th-ir nails pared. They will | $ travel the same road of the m^n who j were not so busy. Of the men who I had time for the little courtesies and j amenities of life and will take no j more with them to that other and mysterious world. Of course, we should all be men of affairs, but we should ( i-i-- +/% lnorr o li + tlo cum in qrl ? i LciAtl liiiic tu icaiu a. uvuv uuu. t.? j dition. Some men of affairs go after the dollar as if they thought the accumulation of money was the summum bonum of human existence. I j reckon my Latin is good. I don't T 1 know. It has been a many day since t studied anv Latin, but you know , what I mean. I wonder sometimes j j, if these men of affairs ever stop lo t consider what it all means. Where ^ it all ends. I have wished sometimes r that I was a thing of affairs and had c a business appreciation of the value ^ of a dollar, as the business man would c say,, and then I think well, what does j :* -Ti oriTr -orav T grpf about It a.II diliuuub tv auj * 0 ? d as much out of life as these men of t affairs and will take about as much * away with me. And what's the dif- j ference. Don't misunderstand me. I wouldn't have any one slothful in business, but what I mean is don't put 1 T business above everything else. g Think of some of the little things that go to make up the sum of human happiness. Life is but a span at best. I read the following in a newspaper c the other day and I want to commend $ it to some^pf the young men who are e throwing their supbstanee away in d riotous living. Think of a prince be- u ing allowed only that amount as spending money. That was more than J I had when I went to college but I * went to get an education. That is not the main purpose now with some 3 boys and girls and if they had only s $1.25 to spend per week they would j a stay at iaome: - 4 c Has $1.25 a Week to Spend. The amount allotted to the Prince of Wales for pooket money has' just become known. Every Saturday he receives just $1.25, which he terms his old-age pension. He is Occasion- j ally a trifle extravagant and mortgages his money in advance. * Toward the end of the last term at Oxford he wras asked by a friend to join a party to visit the theatre. It should be explained that when a friend or-a invitprf in thi? wav at the univer tt-i Tw *** 1 *** w sity, it is an understood thing that each pays his own expenses. The prince's reply was "Sorry, old man, but I am clean broke." "Why don't you wrrite home for some more?" asked the friend. "I did," replied the prince, "but mother said I was too extravagant, and refused to allow me to have any more money this term." / i I said something about the old court house building in my^ last notes. And I am not going to criticize any one, for the work is such a great improvement that I do not feel that any one has a right to raise an adverse criticism on any part of it, and yet I had a little curiosity to know who select ed tbe combination of colors as to the painting. That's all. The grass and, such an improvement, I know and everything is lovely. 'And to keep pace with the march of- improvement the grass was being mowed at the court. house lawn. If Mr. Hill or Mr. Crotwell or whoever has authority would just close up that wag ** JL 11 on road alongside tne uroiwen uuici it would greatly add to the appearance of things and would inconvenience no one. But we can't get everything at once and must be satisfied and thankful for what we receive. I noticed the other day when I was | down town thai the work of paving j Friend street was going merrily on and such ^n improvement I know every one 'is wondering why it was not done long ago. It is always so with any needed improvement. The kickers wonder Why they kicked. The surroundings at the postoffice are > greatly improved, and I am pleased to ; note it. Now, if Mayor Wright would j just tak^ my suggestion and pave the ; street leading from the postoffic? up to his handsome residence every one would be delighted for it would add so much to the improvements at the postoffice. Don't be afraid you will | be criticized if you do it, Mr. Wright. | It is the right thing to do and a lit- | tie criticism will not hurt if it should j b? made. The Idler, j She Caught Him. |, Exchange. The young girl confronted him with flashing eyes. "What did you mean," she demanded, "by kissing me as I lay asleep in the hammock this morning?" "But," protested the youth, "I only took one." "You did not. I counted at least j; seven before I awoke." >TA>DI>G OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS^ / balances Carried Forward?More Money Spent Than Last Year?

Dear Sir: At your request, I am landing you a statement over my siglature of the balance to the credit of ;ach school district and the overdrafts, vhere an overdraft occurs, as shown )y my books. Just why you desire ihis statement over my. signature, I j lo not know, because as I told you, ny books show this and they are part >f the record of the office, and besides rou were present and saw the books :heeked with the* county treasurer, lowever, if the statement will be of .ny assistance to you in the work for he schools, I am more than glad to urnish it, even though it entails work am not called upon to render. l I will also*request the papers to mblish this statement so that the >eople may see just how each district . tands. This letter should also be nade and considered part of the statement. A You will see that the balance at the :lose of the school year June 30, is 1,634.32 more than it was a year ago, <ven though we spent on the schools luring the last year more than $25,>00, more than the year before. Deducting the overdrafts from each 'ear leaves a net balance in favor of he year closing :June 30, 1913, of $694. In one or two cases the overdrafts ire more apparent than real.

Moore, S. C, July 9.?Miss Lydia / j J of $300, has been made to this district from the half mill tax to be collected during this year. In Little Mountain a bond for $">00 was paid the past school year and by refunding tin? remainder of the bonded indebtedness this district will soon be on good financial basis. In Chappells there is really no overdraft as this payment was made on the building in anticipation of the money from bonds and will be replaced. In the other districts where overdrafts occur they should not have been permitted, but ~ +V>/v?r olinnoH in olfrn in SUiiJC W a V IUCJ 1U, uivu gether amounting to less than $100. The building fund is slightly overdrawn tor the reason that we were helping under the State law certain districts 'n which new buildings were being erected ard the appropriation for the year was r>?+ quit? sufficient. A:-, to the dispensary fund I spent all the law would permit me to spend ?one-fourth each year. I could and w?ulfl have used it all to advantage if the law had permitted. I have found that in some of the distress where the largest balances are carried, the schools are the poorest. It takes money to have a school, but money alone does not constitute a good school, and I would rather see a district with no balance carried forward, if the money liad been used ^ ID Tile mdllllvlidliCC U1 CL pUJ U 72V.UW1, than a district with a big balance and a poor record for a school. I trust that this explanation and the accompanying statement over my signature will answer your purposes and will be of benefit in your work among the schools. If there is any other information you may desire over my signature, I will be pleased to furnish it, if it is in my po\fer to do so. Respectfully, E. H. Aull. For 1911-12 and 1^12-13 1. 1912.
