have said they would run advertisements
for the prohibitions if they
would pay for the advertising. Why
not? Somebody must pay the bills of
the fellows who are going over the
country making prohibition speeches.
Besides, so far as we have seen, the
newspapers have really been running
a 'lot of free stuff for prohibition.

The editor of The Herald and News
has received the following letter from
the State superintendent of education:
Columbia, September 4, 1915.
Col. E. H. A-ull,
( Newberry S. C,. ;
Dear Colonel: ?
! In a recent issue of /The Herald and!
News, I read your attack on the policy
of the State department of education
with reference to the improvement of
mill schools.
As State superintendent, I have recommended
several activities. Every
recommendation has sought to establish
a homogeneous, home-owning,
home-loving, self-respecting citizenship.
One-fifth of our white population
lives in mill villages. These manufac
turing centers have proved a Diessmg
fry providing work for the operatives
and a market for the farmers Their
schools, however, have been neglected. |
I believe the cotton mill management I
and the cotton mill workers are anx- j
ious for improvement.
The State supervisor of mill schools
and the county supervisor of " mill
schools in Spartanburg are trying to
work out a practical and constructive
program. This program will be an essential
part of the public school policy
_ * XI
ui uie cuiic*
Your suggestions, either in private
or in public, will be appreciated. Since
you are attacking what has been attempted
by me as Sta-*e superintendent,
I shall be grateful for a full statement
of your own views, outlining the policy
you would inaugurate for the betterment
of mill schools,
Yours respectfully,
J. E. Swearingen,
State Supt. otf Education.
We have never made any attack on
the policy of the State superintendent
of education with reference to the improvement
of mill schools, or in any
other manner, so far as we can recall.
Some time ago we did quote with ap
proval an editorial from the Greenville
Piedmont which took tne position that
the mill schools, as they are called,
should be a part of the school system
of the State and should not 'be dealt
with separately, as if the mill people,
or mill workers, were a different people.
If that be an attack, then make
the mast of it. But it seems to us that
you are on the wrong trail, if you are
hunting some one who has made an
attack. We suppose the State superintendent
would call a criticism or a
suggestion that did not agree with his
policy "an attack" on the State department.
Tne very purpose 01 me criticism o; j
the Piedmont was against the effort, i
I
a? it seemed to us, to treat the people
who live in the mill village as a sep;
arate and distinct race who needed a
separate and distinct plan or system
of education, and also against the mills
owning and operating the schools instead
of having them under the same
board of trustees and the same superintendent
as all other public schools,
and, in fact, endeavoring to encourage
the establishment of " a homogeneous,
home-owning, home-loving, self-re'specting
citizenship," just as the State
superintendent suggests, and the very
thing that The Herald and News com
3 - J
iuenueu.
To that end, as we recall i t, the
?
Pi' dmont did not think it was necessa;y
to have a State supervisor especially
for mill schools. To be frank,
we have felt as much, but we have
not said anything about it for reasons
satisfactory to ounself, and for the further
reason that there are always little
minds ready to question your mo
tives, and who would consider a I
criticism or a suggestion as an attaclc J
on a policy.
You are on the wrong trail, iMr. State
Superintendent, we have made no attack
on you or on the "policy of the
State department of education," and
we have no suggestions to make to
you now, but from time to time, in the
conduct of the editorial policy of The
Herald ?nd News we may have some
/
thing to say on public matters, and if
they be the schools, or the mill schools
as you term them, we will say it frank. !
ly and plainly and will send you a copy j
ot the paper, as we have heretofore
done. Vv'e might say in this connection,
if your desire is to establish a
I,
hf>ni-: ecus people vvhy have a sep
aratesvstem for the miil schools. Whv j
i
not have them under the same board
o; trustees and the same superintendent
in the same community. We hope
yeur plan in Spartanburg will work j
out for the good of the citizenship of i
. the State, aDd if it does there will!
i be none more readv to commend it. i
I
j A e do not now criticise it because we J
j do not know what it is.
i We do not 'believe the mill schools |
should he privately owned and controlled
by the mill corporation, or that
the corporation shou'd pay for the support
of the school, and that is about
what the Piedmont said and what we I
i
| commended, and that is all the attack
we nave maut; iai as v*e cau uu n
recall. We believe the children of the
mill people should be treated as other
children, and as if they were the children
of the State just as other children
are. That was all. If that is an attack
then we can't help it.

SAYS FALL TRADE
IS TO BE BRISK
Caldwell & Kaltiwanger Firm Buys jJ
Heavily in Expedition of Lively
Autumn Business.
R. M. /Caldwell is an Optimistic Co- j
lumbia business men, says the
State, who expects trade to re- :
vive notably this fall and winter.
Mr. Caldwell has recently re- 1
turned from the Northern markets, t
where he bought autumn stock for (
the firm of Caldwell & Haltiwanger,
dealing in dry goods and women's
garments. While in New York the Co- '<
lumbia merchant came in contact with j i
business men Xrom all sections of *ne !:
South and West. "In the West business
is booming," Mr. Caldwell said 1
esterday. "Merchants from that ter- 1
ritorv have not felt the pinch from the ^
war." 1
Speaking of the general impression <
he received from business men of *
other sections of the South, he said:
"They were all optimistic, and expect- '<
ing heavy trading this fall. This atti- <
tude was sustained by the hopeful 1
encouragement of Northern dealers, 1
who believe that the Southern mer- 1
chants are to have an unusually good <
.fall and winter trade. People have 1
been holding back somewhat, but the 1
tirviQ ic paniHlv nnnrrvarhin? when nee- 1
- ?o w #
lected purchases will have to be 1
made. I am expecting big things, and *
in consequence have made unusually *
large purchases of stock." *
Calckjvell & Haltiwanger have a store
in Newberry. Mr. Caldwell was here I
on Monday and it is good to come in ?
contact with such optimism as he has. *
Mr. Joseph T. Hutchison, who is
manager of the Newberry store, is *
equally optimistic and business will be *

ALICE BRADY IS "THE BOSS."
The World Film corporation presents
the fi?e-part photoplay "The

stage production of the same name, j
Alice Brady and Holbrook Blinn are j
the stars of the production,-which is!

director, who recently joined the

This is Miss Brady's?second appear- j

"The Boss" she plays a similar part;
'hat of an appealing young wife beset
by maniy difficulties on account of her
loyalty to her husband. Miss Brady is
i beautiful, vivacious girl, a clever and
conscientious actress, who inherits
ibility and also thinks for herself.
Holbrook Blinn plays a man's part?
i real man. The character is that of
Ylichael Regan, a self-made "boss" who
aas risen to political and financial
power by the witty manner peculiar
:o witty people, i. e., the Irish. A hard,

priest and layman alike. The girl he
narries accepts him to help her people
in their distress, she is his wife

ie wins her love. He bosses evenyDody.
Such a part is well suited to the
powerful personality and vigorous
style of acting for which Mr. Blinn is
amous. f
