A NEED OF REAL HOMES.
Apartment houses are all right, of !
course, and in many ways are a boon
to humanity, but there is about as t
much difference between an apartment
and a real, honest-Indian, sureenough,
separate home as there is between
a modern, high-speed automobile
and a wheelbarrow.
This has long been our view of the j
matter and it is pleasing to note that!
The Record is in company with such.
- ?:?riPvi-cnnnprs as '
VULllltZll L1 > IV u|/mv ??v .
the esteemed Ohio State Journal, j
Columbus. What the Journal says in i
this home-building: editorial is apt j
and true and applies just as well to ;
Colombia and other Carolina towns
and cities as it does to Ohio's capital
city.
In part, the Journal says:
But it is far better for a city to j
.have a hjindred new separate homes
^ erected than to have a hundredfamily
apartment houses constructed.
? ' ~
The proper and natural way ox nvmg j
!i? for one family to;have a house,,
^witto the little grass plot in the yard, ;
a "bft'of garden in the back, part of:
the lot, with the fredom and conven- j
iences and privacy that separate!
Glomes provide. Columbus has a;
housing demand now that calls for
some more apartment houses, those \
with proper conveniences and a rent- j
al not too great. But it has a greater,
oeed for more separate homes. There!
are hundreds of vacant lots, in every
section of the city. Homes should:
be built on these lots, the cost of the!
I
building being suited to the neigh-1
' borhood. There is a great need for
the homes that will care for small!
families, homes within the purchasing j
power of the man of limited means,!
who has saved some money, is well
emDloved and wants to pay out for
his home during the coming years, j
Every man is a better citizen when!
he becomes a home owner. !.
The corporation which makes it j
possible for a working man to es-11
tablish a home of his own is a genu- b
ine benefactor. The Record hopes,
that the day is not far distant when
a mammoth program of this sort will j1
be flaring all over the Carolinas.?1:
Columbia Record. j1
-* 1. i :
me aoove is so mucit in seeping
with the contention of The Herald j
and News in its advocacy of the es-j:
tablishment of a real building andj:
loan company in Newberry that we >'
'-desire to give it to our readers. The j
idea here contained, as we under- i
stand it, shall be the main purpose of!'
the building and loan recently organ
ized in Newberry. Real homes is what '
the community needs to develop the
very best citizens. There is nothing
that so much helps in the making of j
patriots and men and women willing
to stand up and defend their town
and community and to love it with
that love which makes for the highest
T?7owe oc fa Atim +V?a I-*ahea
vjr yt vx oo wv vnn iivuov ;
in which you live. You have a feel- !
ing then that you have something for
which to fight and something to de-J
fend! _ I
This is our idea* of a real building j{
and loan that is going to be of help jJ
and benefit to the community. Help !(
young men and older ones too own "
their homes. And we mean bv> that j
the character -and integrity of the j 1
man who desires to own his home be j <
a part of the collateral required. If ! 1
you are going to demand as much 1
i i ii i i . i 1
margin ana as mucn collateral as tne J
bank or the regular mon6y lender ; j
and not count the character of the |
prospective home owner as worth j ]
anything, then the building and loan j ]
will not meet the requirements that; i
we feel a real building and loan i 1
should meet. We do not mean that 1
the company should be reckless and 1
throw away the money of the stock
holders, not that at all, but the com-;
panv can be prudent <*nd do a safe i
business and at the same time trust! I.
the people. Personally, we freely ,
admit that we are too trustful and ,
confiding to make a safe and successful
business man, because we always ;
trust the other fellow until he proves
unworthy of the trust, and then it is ,
too late, but we do believe in the ,
principle of placing men on their
honor, and there are not many times
where that trust will be misplaced.
But the idea we have is to encourage
and help the men of this town to
u.1 _ *
vwn tneir own nomes, and if they
have not a home to encourage and :
. . help them to build one and own it.
"A LOOKER ON."
A few days a?o when the papers :
and other thinjrs were moved from ]
the nf * *h "* Tr 1 1 \" / *' ;
)?'?*- *? * r >< 'V' .* r part- ]
meat h <- I h IS: ~ made, wc ]
?ame across an old copy of the paper! s
::>ntaining an article signed as above. ' c
We regret that we do not rec-iil the ; t
name of "A Looker On," because e t
would like to know his name. if t
there is any one who may chain e to ;
read this article and recognizes the 5
article ve would be glad to have h.m (
teli us his name, not for publication. ;
We will be pardoned for publish-, 1
ing this article again. It was first .
printed in the is^ue of August lt;
1911. As we are again to vote on 1
bonds for streets and other improve- 1
-i- -1? mil' int*>rpst. "
merits m mt: tuwu n
some one. We have never before, i
even reached the voting stage in the 1
matter for roads in the county. That 1
will be reached this summer. ! i
The reader will observe that it has been
nearly nine years since -this 1
article was printed, and that the edi- '
tor of The Herald and News con-;
tinues to .write about roads and road '
building and the supreme importance
of sometning being done. And that
we are still hammering away on im-''
provements in the town. These will '
come this time, as we are satisfied !
,1
that the people are going to vote tne ; #
bonds for the purpose. The editor;
doesn't care so much about the 1
monument ^fter he is gone, but he
would like to see the roads built now '
while he is here.
Better roads and better schools,
these things we have preached for
many years, and we are pleased that
a gracious providence lias permitted i
us to see many of these good things!
come to pass. J
+v>;a romin/ls us to sav that the
X11IU w
people ltave not yet taken any action |.'
on the report and recommendations ,
made by a committee appointed a' ^
good while ago to ?ook into the mat-j]
ter of improving our schools in the ' {
city. , Something had better be done ,
and done before the close of the i
present term and that is not near as;
long as it has been, because if some ;
provision is not made for raising
money the possibility is that the 1
Newberry schools will be short of ,
nnpninp- of the next i
MW V*4V 0
session. All these schools around us ;
are looking to the future an-i making j
provision for the money to run ihe j
schools, and Newberry had better | j
wake up on this very vital question ]
and be doing something. ji
Prosperity we understand is going <
to vote on levying 8 more mills so ;
that the school in th -t town may be 1
properly manned with teachers and .1
have sufficient money to pay, fhem
and to raise the salaries of all of J
them. All the country schools are 1
making arrangements to pay the f <
teachers more than Newberry teach- j
ers are being paid, and Newberry is *
rrntViincr and has no money to j *
WV1415 *4V O
raise salaries. Wake up. Then we *
need the additional room recommend- i1
i 1
ed by the committee. " i

It is interesting to look over these j
old papers such as this issue of.
August 1, 1911. It contains an ac- j1
count of 1^he organization of the Far- j
mers Bank of Silverstreet with pic-!
tures of Mr. Henry O. Long and Mr.:
B. M. Havird and Attorney E. S. j J
Blease j j
It is also noted that Frank Devore ^
had raised enough money in New- j (
berry co improve tne isewDerry
Prosperity road. Pity there is not;
some now to go out and do likewise, i,
The road is even worse than it was ,
then. j
There is also in this issue an ac- j
:ount of the death of Mrs. Dorothy j
Kance and of Mr. Thomas Hayne 1 j
Chalmers and of Mr. George Alv$ ^
Flope. |
It is also interesting to look over r
;he advertisements and note the many , g
changes that have taken place in the i j
business firms in nine years since i
:hen. !S

The first cottor boil had been sent'
in by Mr. W. S. jchultz from No. C. *
Jim Henderson- offered to give x
land for The Idler's Park out on 1
Bush river if it could not be secured
in Newberry. And this reminds us e
;o say that a good citizen remarked e
the other day that it would be a good (
thing for the chamber of commerce *
to tackle The Idler's Park.- *

If drivers of cars in the town 4
would just observe the State law, and ^
as we' thought the provision of the ^
city traffic ordinance, and drive to (
the right and not stop on the wrong j
side of the street, there would be a .

danger of accidents. To prevent
accidents and to save time is the ^
reason the railroads make double j
tracks, so that trains on each track }
will move all the time in the same j
direction. ^
Very few drivers pay any atten- t
tion to this safe and sane State law, {
r>j far as their driving is concerned ;
in the city. Strange isn't it? {
We stood on the corner at Gilder a
and Weeks last Saturday afternoon i
for a few moments and watched the c
policeman do in;; his best to help cars (
gc.t by while the co:igesi:en was a I c
fiifh water mud:. If ali the dvivc^s '
bad cbs'jrvc-u the statute, ar<l what t
\
should be a provision in the traffic
mlinance, to drive to the right, and
lot be permitted to stop on the left,
here would have been no blocking of
he street at all. but by not doing so,
\nd some cars driving to the left and
;ome to the right, he had considerable
lifficulty in getting the road open at
ill for a little %vhile so that the

Overalls is an outward sign that
;he wearer is a laboring n an and
that he does not mind to work, and
rather is fond of it. We hope this
movement to don overalls will not
prove to be a camouflage. This country
today needs above all else men
and women who are not only willing
to work but who do work and who are
producing something-. That's the
idea.
It is passing strange to this editoi

users who travel the road between
NTewberry and Prosperity constantly
io not form some sort of organization
and get permission to keep the road
between the towns in good condition,
rhe cost would be money well investBd.
Just a little up-keep work regularly
and intelligently done would keep
this road in fine condition.
AS TO UNITS.
The following is taken from a recent
issue of The State in reporting
a meeting of superintendents- oi
ir?KonHs-hpld in Columbia to studv re
:ent school legislation. It is an extract
from a talk by Prof. H. B. Dominicl
now superintendent of the school a1
Greers. It so meets our approval
that we can not help quoting it,' aric
besides it is refreshing to have suet
sentiments come from" a superintendent
pf a high school. .Read it:
"Why do we worship the unit?"
"I refuse to fall down before it. 1
have a boy in my school who is studying
agriculture. What does it matter
whether he is credited with one
entire unit or half a unit or no unit
at all so long as he' gains some useful
information in his study? We are try1
* <* -- TT7T 1.,
mg to train mm ior me. ythch at
finishes the high school and decides tc
?o to college, he can choose the college
he wishes to attend, see what the
requirements are, and then try tc
qualify. What do I care for a unit?
"We are not working for the few
;vho are going off to college; we are
cvorking for the scores who -will never
see the inside of an institution of
ligher learning. It seems to me this
jnit worship is being unduly stressed."
Wo foavo nfteri thought that the
:endency with our high schools was
;oo much toward preparing boys and
jirls for college rather than preparing
them for the duties of life and
laving an eye to the fact that the
?reat majority of them never go to
rollege, but that their school educa;ion
ended with the high school
course, and then the small per cent
vho are to go to college could select
;he college and ascertain the requirenents
and fit themselves for entrance
ather than depend on having studied
k> many books in the high school and
laving made so many units, whatever
:hat is. Some very inmportant
changes in our system of education
ire badly needed, both in the high
school and the grammar school, and
ve might say in many of our colleges,
ind the changes are coming.
C n n /vvn rlnnf a A'P
ri'UI. JU'UniilULA. is a giauua^ ui
dewberry college and a native of
dewberry county and has been teachng
for a good many years, and is a
re_$r successful teacher, and the best
evidence of his success is that he has
oade verjTfew changes since he be^an,
having kept the same school for
rears. If we mistake not he first
aught at Fountain Inn for several
rears, and from there went to Greers
vhere he has been several years, the
wo being about all the schools in
vhich he has taught since enterng
the profession.
We agree with him and desire to
ndorse most heartily what he is quot:d
as saying, and we are glad to have
)ne superintendent come out boldly
tnd say that the purpose of our high
schools should be rather to train the
. y
>oys and girls for their life work
vhere the great majority go from
;he high school, than to have the
vhole system regulated and planned
ror preparation for college where
>nly the small minority go after
eaving the high school.
A SUGGESTION.
Of course we allknow better than
;he fellow who is doing the job how
t should be done, but it can do no
larra to give our views on any subject,
and with apologies to Mr. Geo.
N. Summer who is now the owner of
he Newberry hotel property, and by
he way the finest property in town,
ivd that he is preparing to make ex;cr.sive
improvements on it, that if ho
vants to have a real first class and
;p to date hotel the thing for him to
*o is to turn the rooms fronting
