Trustees' Annual Report.
Newberry, S. C., July 24, 1917. ?
To the Patrons of the Newberry School
District:
We are grateful to be able to report
that our schools have passed through
another successful school year. No serious
sickness has interfered with the
work. All classes have reported for
full time. The officers and teachers
feave been faithful and efficient in
the discharge of their duties, and it is
a pleasure to report that nearly an
of them will serve us for another year.
The work of the schools has been
greatly helped by the sympathy and
cooperation of the >arious ParentTeacher
associations; these bodies
meet regularly, and do much for the
welfare and upbuilding of the schools.
Among the recent donations in the'
vr&y of equ ipment added to the schools (

building and an outdoor drinking foua- {
tain at the Speers Street building. All
} th? playground equipment of the Park
association has been contributed to
\ the school playgrounds by the Park!
committee; this has been distributed
among the several school grounds,
and will add much to their attractiveness
and efficiency. We acknowledge

tion on the part of the Park committee.
The addition of two mills special tax i
to the income for general purposes

much needed improvements; six new
teachers have been employed to relieve
the congested condition that existed
during the last term. Be it said

he mo3t recent history of the "dark ;
'orces" that have almost succeeeded in i
wringing about this debale and this :
inarchy. It is as yet only whispered <
n the inner circles of the powers that ,
:>e, but it is destined to become the
property of ^he world befor^ many
lays have passed.
'It appears from this secret infor
nation that the present state of affairs
in Russia is the result of the most
:ollosal bargain in history, a bargain
the Bolshiviki (Russian majority so- ,
sialists) and anarchists on one hand
*nd the German majority socialists,
and probably part of the centrists, on
the other. The fate of a nation, perhaps
of all Europe, was the stake.
Theobald von Bethmann- Hollweg's
head the price, with his successor's
endorsement of peace without annexa- j
tions and indemnities thrown in for
good measure. The ultimate aim of
the bargaining parties was, and is,
peace; not necessarily a separate Rus
so-Teuton peace, but a general paacej
forced by Russia's elimination ts an
active belligerent.
At Stockholm.
The bargain was concluded, it is
alleged, at the recent confab in Stockholm
between Russia and German
delegates. Significant in this connection,
perhaps is the fact that Dr.
Mathiaz Erzberger, leader of the cen
viir-f y*>rf i* ii' V> Ac a r An* *1 J
Li ioi |-iai , *? oiii c w u iiiau^uTti o ^
led directly to Hollweg's fall, to the
formation of the bloc, and the passage
of the peace resolution, was with
Scheldemann and the other socialists
at Stockholm.
The Russian ultimatum at those historic,
though, at the time, scarcely
noticed, conferences in the Swedish
capital, is said to have been absolutely
surrendered by the German government
to the principle c eace without
annexations ? ;n< amnities."
Russia had abandon ' . .enturiesold
dream for the Pv. ion of the
Dardanelles. The Russian socialists,
who had forced this renunciation up
on tne provisional government insisted
that it was worth equivalent
concessions by Germany. Both parties
were spurred on by President Wil*
son's (G.irln: c: without victory."
?
Immediately upon the return of the
Scheidemanites to Germany began;
the drive against Kollweg. When on!
the eve of the reichtag's session thei
then chancellor flatly refused to sub-j
scribe to the Russian and German so-j
cialist peace formula, aided meanwhile
in an underground way by the cen-J
trists and by powerful influences in
Austria, the party bloc was formed
&nd Eethmann-Holiweg was toppled
into oblivion. Even today the masses
in Germany are still completely at sea
as to the real wherefore of his fall. !
i
Sake Headway,
'While the German political crisis
was on the "dark forces'' in Russia
made sweeping headway in gaining
; control of the bulk of the Muscovite
army. When the climax came they
had; the majority of the troops virtually
in the hollow of their hands.
Now comes the chronology of events

bargain.

On the same day fire of the Russians i

The following day the Russian;
offensive stopped within the reach of'
triumph.
All dispatches from Berlin, though j
interpreted and relayed in multi-(
colored ways, indicated to close ob-j
servers that the reichstag had the j
whip hand and that the peace resolu-!
tion would pass.

For the following day?Thursday,

had been set. It was delivered at 3

had with the effect it was feared?

German socialists had paid their share
?f the bargain.
Not until the following morning did ]
the world learn the full text of Dr.
Michaelis* speech.
But like t^g Russian revolution, so
this reported bargain is drawing its
fateful circles immeasureably farther
and wider than its makers had hoped,
or feared.
In the very hour that Dr. Michaells,
was making his speech the Bavarian'
Prince Leopold made ftis great "oreaK-i

rolled up and destoyed.
Meanwhile Berlin dispatches are

Columbia. July 23.?There has not
been so iar during the month of July
a single expenditure by the $50,000
army *. t constables for liquor, target
practice, playing pianos in bawdy
houses, pool playing, tips to hackmen,
or having teeth pulled.
The Columbia bureau of The
Charleston American, however, has
not yet been able to destroy the taste
of the constables for inflammables.
Gasoline is now being burned at a rate
to astonish even the war natives, and
one of the pay warrants will serve
10 show what is being done, to some
extent, with the $5-0,000 which must
be spent this year for "pronibi'.on,
law and order."
It is in the nature of a trage^j.
Columbia correspondent of The Charleston
American thought he had placed
himself squarely in the fore front as
an exponent oflaw and order," when,
as a result of the publication of the
items for maintenance of the constabulary,
such things as expenditures
for cheap liquor and "red light" district
incidentals had been eliminated
from the state's pay roll. Now comes
this other explosive, as witnesseth

*\Law Enforcing"* Travel.
"That enforcement cf law" goes a
long ways in South Carolina now is
evidenced by the fact that during this
year there has been paid out of the
governor's "special fund for enforcement
of law" the sum of $343.75 for
four trips of the governor to New
York and return and two trips 10
Washington and return, during the
last year. IWhat these trips has to do
with "law and order" is not known,
except it may be that other funds had
dun low. The -warrant in the
comptroller general's office is No. 1426,
dated December 30, 1916. and issued
January 23, 1917. It includes:
To expenses, three trips to New
York and return, (6-7-16, 5-9-16 and
12-18-16), $1S7. 50; to expenses, two
trips to Washington and return, (6-C16
and 12-14-16), $91.40; to expenses,
one trip to New York and return, (12-!

I
The governor, however, has not;
stretched the "law and order" fund j
this year to include the expenses ?*
his special representative to Wash-j
ington. These expenses have been)
paid from the ordinary contigent fund i
of the governor's office, as put up by:
the tax-payers;.
Warrant, No. 1875, dated February;
27, 1917, issued March 1, 1917, "con-:

Benet, $48.40. The statement;
accompanying the warrant is as fol-j
lows- :
"Sr.itement of expense incurred by!

Warrant No. 4310, dated June 5,j
1917, issued June 8, 1917, to Christie j
Benet for $70, as follows:
"Statement of expense of Christie
Benet on account of trip to Washington
to represent Governor Richard I. Man
ning and state of South Carolina at
war conference held by the national
council of defense, May 25, 1917: By
railroad fare to and from Washington,
including Pullman, $26; by hotel bill,
Washington, $11 86; by meals, telegram.
hack fare, etc., $38.14; total
$70.
Mr. Benet is a practicing attorney
of Columbia.
So goes the money of the tax-payers
of the state, and so has gone the
hope that the publication heretofore
in these colums of extraordinary expenditures
might help these same taxpayers.
If it's not whiskey or something
else, it #eems to be gasoline,
and an occasional trip up north.
