First we wish to thank t r- our white friends of the city and I n county for the help they have given I le us. In money, and nails, in building c jr. the fence around the lot, about half t r. way. ? id Our expenses will be heavy at the t m high cost of lumber. Again we wish I *d to thank the city and rural officers te for the assistance given us in keep- t 10 ing order and for their advice, i :e There was one arrest made and one ! i i little excitement. One of our ticket j 3. sellers, Ford Mangum was taken sud-' ? 1. denly sick, but Dr. Duckett was soon ! * y at his assistance and he was able to j % n be at his post the next day. j t Is There was a big crowd Friday and jc h Saturday and every thing was very I d savins the arrest which was c J ^? o i- quietly made. * c ic A good number of our leading c k white citizens visited the 6 fair and t seemed to enjoy themselves very r 3- much. Mr. E. H. Aull was asked to make a talk which he willingly accept- ( e ed, but being some what indisposed he 1 spoke a few words of encouragement, ? that he thought the movement was a s good one and in the right direction, t- for the boll weevil wa# hero and that u we had better start from today and raise our food stuffs. Thfti he in z* troduced Mr. J. B. Felton, superintendent of colored schools. He i- made a great impression of the importance of an education, and that it is not intended to lay aside farm - and industrial work.. Mr. G. D. Brown made a good talk. Also Rev. i* S.

W. Daniel of Clemson college was unable to be present at the ; eachers meeting Saturday on account 1 >f illness. In his stead Prof. Der-1 ick kindly consented to speak to the j j issociation. Prof. Derrick spoke j < :oncerning the great defect in the 1 juality of teaching as revealed by he investigation of Dr. Chas. Mc- < slurry last year. According to Dr. tfcMurry, school buildings are be: :oming more adequate, teachers are )etter educated, but the teaching in South Carolina is atrocious in that he teacher does the reciting for the ! >upil. Dr. J. W. Carson, explained to the'j eachers the plans of the /Red Cross j for next ^ear. He showed the great!1 leed of the health unit at Newberry,' :howing that if the Red Cross put up j >2,500 and the county that mucli the j 'ederal government would match the I > 5.000, making available $lf),000 to' >e spent in preventing and combating iisease in Newberry county. The )ast two years have'shown the need ?f medical inspection of school chil Iren. The present outbreak of tra- ' homa in 9 and 10 townships proves j hat the health unit would be worth j nany times its cost. Mrs. L. W. Floyd distributed Red ; >oss seals to be sold by pupils and 5rof. Cannon urged the further or- 1 ranization of the Junior Red Cross ' ocieties.

North German Lloyd Company Loti AIL Btf Ships By Interanrat New York* Tribu. . Charles Von Helmolt, resident director of the North German Lloyd line, who succeeded the late Gustave Schwab in the management of the line's business in America, arrived here on the Holland-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam alter a snore visit to Germany. Mr. Von Helmolt, who had become an American citizen during his stay of nearly ten years in this country, went to Germany to discuss with the German directors the possibilities of a resumption of the~ i North German Lloyd's service. ^ He found little to encourage him, ^ he said, as the company had only a few steamships left, and these were hardly more than a thousand tons each. "These vessels," he said, "are the only ones on the sea that are flying the company's flag, and they are used like ferries between Bremen and Scandinavian ports." Another traveler on the Nieuw Amsterdam was the Rev. J. H. Jowett. former pastor of the Fifth \ Avenue Presbyterian church, who conies here to visit his former congregation and to deliver three sermons from the pulpit he left over a year ago. Also on the vessel came Dr. Wil* ? iiam H. Tolman of this city, who jpent 14 months in France as "Y" iirector for Bordeaux and vicinity. Under his wing, he said, were 9,0(H? :oolie laborers in the service of thia allied armies, and he found ther/v well behaved and loyal workers. "One morning," he said, "a train load of wounded American sold:erv came in on their way to New Yorb and I found that hundreds of thos? coolies had surrounded the wounded Americans and given them all the cigarettes in their possession. On another occasion a train bearinor American ' wounded was stopped by congestion of traffic in the open country and the cdolies volunteered to carry water for the soldiers from a supply a mile and a half away." Included among the 9,000 passengers on the vessel was the first complete theatrical company to reach this country since 1914. The English ^ players have come here for a long 3tay and will present "The Luck of :he Navy," which had a long run in London.
