NEWBERRY SCHOOLS, CITY AND; RURAL, TO HAVE TEACHER OF < AGRICULTURE NEXT YEAR 1 j Prof. Yerd Peterson of Clemson, ] College, head of the teaching of agri-U culture in South Carolina schools, was) i in Newberry last'week in conference 't with the ^school authorities and Mr. | T. M. Mills regarding the establishing ] of an agricultural group of schools in. ] the county. Plans were perfected en-jt abling Newberry city school and a> group of rural graded schools within J five to seven miles of Newberry to i take advantage of the Smith-Hughes federal appropriation for the teaching ^ of agriculture and the Smoak-Rector j bill providing $10,000.00 for the same i purpose in South Carolina. The pur- t pose of these appropriations is to edu- < cate our boys for the farm by giving j< them in the school room a course ofjj three years of the study of agricultures and its sciences along with commu-'? nity civics. The main requirement is i to have 10 boys above 14 years in a class with $125.00 worth of equipment ] in a large room for teaching. Prof, i Cannon has arranged for a room and-l +>ic> Dnninmont irv r?r?p nf thp schools i # of Newberry, which will serve as the< class room and the laboratory for ex-1 < periments. * 1? Prof. Peterson has selected an ex- i ^>ert in this line who graduated in the x agricultural department of Clemson \ college in 1912 and has had five years! experience in this work. The people < of the sections in which the schools j carrying this work are to have the! services of this man in the way of \ combating hog cholera, plant diseases/ and various things connected withj farm life. & Prof. Peterson was driven out by^ Supt. Wilson and looked over the: prospects of Mt. Bethel-Garmany's. consolidated school, Jalapa, Symrna, i and St. Philips. Four schools will be ( selected, considering the roads, dis- 1 tances, number of boys, interest of j the people for making the group. !1 The man selected will teach each ( morning in the Newberry school for f 90 minutes then will go to his class i in one of thes? rural schools, where ( - he will also visit the farms and plots ( of the boys. The idea of having a i demonstration farm on the school l ground will not be tried as it has failed! i in many instances, but each boy -\ studying agriculture will be asked to j wprk an acre or^more under the sup-jc ervision of his teacher of agriculture, j c Effort will be made to secure the old- ] er boys and young men of the com-ji munlty-^for the study of agriculture J r also. The farmers, old and youngf's will be reached as the man is here the I year around to work in his schools and communities. S Newberry county is fortunate in se- t curing this agricultural expert and es- j t pecially the Newberry community. Ef- j t forts will be made to organize other 2 groups in the county. The main re- t quirement is to have a group of five ? or four schools with 10 boys over 14 1 years and, above the 5th grade. This f will enable the group to secure thej - federal and State appropriations. ji I, t? PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS \<t PROSPEROUS PROSPERITYj | ( Prosperity, June 24.?Dr. and Mrs.p G.

The University of South Carolina ill offer for the session 1918-19 unsual advantages to the young women l the State. The number of women iking the various courses of study at. lis institution has been increasing :eadily every year. Last session the umber enrolled was 64. Though the niversity has been co-educatfonal for !ss than 25 years, it has graduated Lany women of prominence, who have {nfl?on+io1 r\r?citir?nc ir? thp Stfltp. t^IU lilli UCIi tXCll A A* V*?V , specially in the educational -world. 1 viewvof these facts,, the board of ustees decided in June to increase le accommodations for women and stablish more courses of study that lake an especial appeal to them. The western, and if necessary, the astern wing of DeSaussure college ill be used for a woman's dormitory sxt session. This three-story buildig is bei^g thoroughly renovated and ill be ready for occupancy in the .11 WitVi now flnnrinor anrl windows. ux. ??

The lower floors will be devoted > the matrons in charge of the tenelents and to parlors, one in each ing; the two upper floors to dormi>ries. As DeSaussure college is in isy reach of the library, class rooms nd laboratories, the young women of le institution will be better situated lan ever before to enjoy all the adantages of the institution. Quarters i DeSaussure will also be assigned to le recently formed literary society, ie Hvpatian, which cooperates hearly with the Clariosophic and Euphraian societies, among the men of the Diversity. There is such a demand for business omen at present that the university ill offer next session courses in typeriting, bookkeeping, stenography and iGchanical drawing. The usual war Durses in Red Cross and civilian reef, food thrift and diatetics will be iven again during the coming sesirtTi ^ Ail fVio nthpr rnursps offered.

B., nd in accordance with the recent act f the . legislature, will be allowed to ractice in the State if they so desire. Nowhere in th** South are better oportunities afforded young women to quip themselves as teachers. Every ear th^y are graduated with the derees A. B. and A.

The total xpenses need not exceed three hunred dollars, or two hundred and fifty ollar for all w?io are granted free tui on by the State board of charities. ' HUTCHISON-OWENS.

DON'T FAIL TO SEE BILL r.*KT S* HIS MASTERPIECE FRIDAY, r\E 5S AT THE OPERA HOUSE. \ CAN WE WIN j WITHOUT PRAYER! I I I Dear Editor of The Herald and I News: I have been confined to my j room for the past two weeks. My i body has been a victim to pain. So [you may know that my mind is not ! at all composed, but the seriousness | of these times has filled my soul to .such extent until I am forced to ask (some questions. j Some time ago the war department issued orders to the exemption boards not to induct farmers into the military service until further orders. Upon these conditions a great number of our boys went to work with renewed cour age to carry out that cry that the world is making upon the farming interest of our land. Raise more foodstuffs. But it seems that the very se| rious military situation has made it i necessary to suspend this order. In j the last call to service I noticed out of j 54 white boys from Darlington county I nollnr) tQTP fflTlTlPrS. 1 V^aiitU tv I4VV *V *** v? p Just what per cent, of the 66 white boys from this county are farmers I j was not able to say, but I would sup! pose something like one-half. The government well understands j th? hardships which this will mean not \ only the hardships but the sacrifice to | the poor farmer. Ifcan't be estimated, I but the military necessities seem to be j so great that nothing else can be dene, jit is needless to mention thp hi-jh j price of labor and everything eIse j that it takes to run a farm, everybody well understands the situati )n. This is the situation that is looking us right square in the face: Here I stands the mule and there lies the i farming implements. Out yonder stands the farm, well worked to the [present time. With no assurance of ia single day's labor to pay on the |Avork of the farm no doubt there is j other cases just as bad as mine, j This 1s the question I want to ask ! the Council of Defense of my county: Can there be anything done to relieve the situation and the answer needs to i come right now. Our government is calling upon us for our money and this call is being supplied. It is calling upon us for our boys and they are going without complaint and the world is crying for more bread. This is becoming a more serious problem than many of our people can realize. Can we win this war without prayer or without God? Everybody who has or can get a copy of the Lutheran Church Visitor please read that article .? j? "nor, Wo Win uiiuer uie licciuixiico, van >?v. Without Prayer." Please look it up Mr. Editor. You will find it in the is- j sue of June 20, and republish it. If there' ever was a time of love and consecration of action among our peoI pie it is now. May God njt only bountifully supply us with that bread that feeds the body, but also with that br^ad that feeds the soul. Away with that politician who comes before the people with his | mouth full of 'guile and bitterness. T. J. W* | June 22, 1918. 1 . I DEATH OF A PROMINENT LAYMAN j (Lutheran Church Visitor.) Dr. O. B. Mayer died on June 13th 1 at his home in Newberry, S. C., in his 65th year. He was the only son of Dr. O. B. Mayer, Sr., who was so highly esteemed and honored for his lv.iorv, r'ViriijtiQ-n ?r:?r.tpr and skill as I a physician in Newberry. The son J emulated the many admirable virtues I of his father. Everybody in Newberry was his f" lend, and this esteem and affect1' s reciprocated in every way j ? ayer was a fine business man .ltributed liberally of his time, tai and means to the growth of the community to which he was most loyal and devoted. His church likewise received liberal support from him and he took great interest in all its causes. He was faithful as an officer in the Church of the Redeemer j about thirty years, and both here and j as member of the board of trustees land the faculty of Newberry college his counsel and experience in mate-! riul affairs was always most valuable. He was a physician 44 year?. One who knew him well says: "There! was no malice in his heart, and he j richly deserved the name- of 'good J physician/ for he was patient, sym-| pathetic, cheerful, skilful and perse- i vering." ! i An example of Dr. Mayer's liberality j I in Christian work was the erection j of the Lutheran church in Newberry, j which he presented to the Lutherans! of the Newberry Cotton Mills, as a' memorial to his father.
