We publish in another column a very sane and sensible article from the Anderson Daily Mail on the state colleges and the common schools by "A Friend of Both/"' We are printing this because it gives the figures and because this subiect is receiving attention in the speeches of the candidates in the chanty campaign, but mainly because it gives the figures of cost so far as the state legislature is concerned. We have not had opportunity to verify the figures which, this writer gives, but' we are inclined to think that in one or two particulars, while the figures are correct so far as they go, they'are just a little misleading. We are inclined to the opinion that x o' C1 K AO "SO 50 A nr*t" Lilt? LUL&l U1 ^pijVZVjWvtvv v?vvw itvv 1 include 'the correct amount given to the state institutions of higher learning. It may include the total of direct approporiation, but does it include the indirect income which Clemson college receives from the fertilizer tax, which is just as-much part of t^he income or more than any other? We are inclined to the opin . i _ __ x ion tftat it does noi. And then the other figures as to the amount which the common - schools receive from the tax levied by the districts themselves should nov be used in the comparison made a: to the appropriations by the legisla ture for the common schools, be cause that is paid direct by the people of the several districts themselves and should not be used in comparing the appropriations by the legis+ V Upon the whole, however, the article is a very clear and unbiased statement of the facts. It is necessary in order to a successful system of common schools that the st^ite shouid maintain a system of institutions of higher learning. We want the readers of The Herald and News to note especially the figures as to the pay we are giving our very faithful teachers, and ther. they will readily agree that it -is ar outrage that they are not paid more money, because they have to do with . thp hnilnino- of the future citizen: of the state. They are the most important factors in the development of the commonwealth, and yet are thevpoorest paid of any of the workers in the state. And we will have tc pay them better df we expect to re tain those who are worthy to be trusted with the important work of training the citizens i.nd the home makers of the future. "Every true and intelligent Ameri can believes in education, but edu cation is no substitute for work The two are complementary. Ruskii daclered: 'It is only by labor th? thought can be made healthy, am .only by thought that labor can bt made happy; the two can not be sep arated with impunity.' " The city of Charleslon is given a population by the recent census of 67,957, a gain of 9,124 during the last decade or 15.5 per cent. Of course Charleston is not satisfied with the count and is demanding a . recount. The city is claiming at least 90,000 people and thinks there are 100,000. That is natural. It is the case with all cities, but we hav^ little doubt wnen the recount is made, if one is ordered, that it will be found that the figures by the enumerators are practically correct. Th* Carolinian of Calhoun county, the new paper recently organized there under the management of Cliff Langford as editor, has recently installed a complete new printing outfit, but like The Herald and News has fyeen having trouble in getting the plant installed. All of us have cur troubles and somehow it is always some consolation to know that you are not alone, and while we regret to learn that any one should have trouble one will feel like maybe he is not nltncrpflipr tn hlamp wnnn nnr the only one to have similar trouble. It has been some job to get our press to work, but we are coming and the last paper was sent out on time and the print was much bettor 'ami we hope to keep improving. C'liif-Langford will give the St. Matthews people and the people of Calhoun a good newspaper because he knows how and has the energy to do i:. There was not a single person at the campaign meeting at Chappells to hear the candidates speak; and tii^y didn't speak.?Newberry Observer. Yes, but there were se\vr:?l m.^r ??? ? ! ? ?a? a? i ii ra i ried persons there and some of their I came to hear the candidates speak, j In fact we believe that we can n-ure. i if called on to do so, at leas: two I ! single persons who came to hear the I candidates speak and at least t\v. married persons. And there we ! several from Saluda who would ha ."< j heard if the candidates had spoken. | But it was a good meeting a< <. : [these good people at Chappells will | j be on hand when the voting time. | i comes. We heard several of th;.n- j ! speak and they said that they hue. ' ' their minds made up as to how th;-\ ; would vote and they did not thinl. j any amount of speaking would j change them.

I have been selected* by Mr. Jco j >parks, financial director ' of vhh tate, as county chairmar of DoI? ar Democracy campaign. I have aieady appointed the executive committeemen from each club to solicit 'unds from the members of his club, fl have suggested that they can either i see each member of the club r.ersonally before the primary elect'or. or if it is more convenient, to be f t I the polling precinct that day, or have j j someone else there, to see each Dem' ocratic voter as he comes to vote. I j hope if the executive committeeman j of any club can not be present he will arrange some way to give each Democrat the privilege of contributing to this fund. In some counties they arc arranging to place a box at each polling: precinct in which each per! son can place his contribution and {write his name and the amount on a j list placed with said box. If any of j the executive committeemen think j I this plan better and desire to adopt j it they are at liberty to do so. We ) are very anxious, however, to keep a | list of all contributions and we hope i this will be done, it makes no difference how the contribution is obi tained. I hope that all voters in Xewberry I county will contribute at least one ; dollar. Larger amounts are desired i where one feels inclined to five I # * j same. Two parties in the county ! have already voluntarily handed me fnnj-vihntion?one of $10 and the [ ! other of $25. We would be glad to j | have some more contributions like ! this, as well as some of $5. In any ! event, we want at least 5?1 from every voter in the countv. In mv ooinion. | j i this is one of the most important i campaigns the Democratic party has : ever had on its hands. There is more j.at staKP man mere iu;.> <.wi j since the days of radicalism. Xune of lis want to see another world conflict, and the Democratic party is the : one thai is trying to avoid such a : catastrophe. The peace and happi1 lie-:; of the world depends \ i I i Bill? iv^-nra. upon what we do at tliis time, in addition to this, there are a nv.\ib(-r of measures that, have been pa?sed by the Democrats that >re of great importance to the farming class and Mmt;p measures mv unclev the :ire of the Republican party. Let u-> then contribute liberally to this fund rnr do all we can to insure the peace and happiness of the world and the prosperity of the agricultural interests. J. B. Hunter. County Chairman of Dollar Democracy Campaign. I The Kinard Family Reunion. On August 11 the children and descendants of Mr. Thomas Kinard met in annual family reunion at the home of Mr. P..

TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH SALUDA COUNTY GROWING Col. E. H. Aull, Newberry, S. C. My Dear Sir: I read your interesting, piece in The Herald and News about your trip to Trinity church last Sunday. I was sorry to learn mat each time you come that you have some car trouble. Eut.your conclusion is commendable in that you will net be discouraged for another trial next year. I hope that you will be more fortunate next time. It is so nice 01 you to vememiiu: the old folk in that way. Only mart people in this busy age would be more thoughtful of the old people, for they do not have many more years in which to attend Trinity before they come to remain there forever. I am quite sure that there were no two persons there on Sunday that enjoyed it more than your mother and Aunt Mat Carson. It is a source cf great pleasure to see those two old people together. They can kiss and hug to vie with, if not excel, any young people. And when you think of it their affection is more genuine than that of the average person of ITm. 1-V1017 nr? nnHpr uvuaj1. a Vi HIV J V .f w%*. vw. ? more substantial friendship, and a less fickled age than the present. And friendships and . relationchips were more permanent then. So if you never come without an accident you are amply repaid to make those old people happy. It is a time when they can recall so many old faces and events that are so dear to them. It doeo my heart good to see them together. And Aunt Mat certainly loves Aunt Julia. She is always talking about her. Mrs. 0. Loves Trinity church, it is her very eyeball, and now since three of her son Tom's children have joined, and his wife, she is reaping the fruition cf her prayers and solicitude that she has exercised for all these years. One% son and the wife of Mr. Carson joined during these services. Trinity seems to be getting on a firm foundation, bne iosi so mucn, for not having a pastor nearer through so many years, when it was served from the pastor of Corinth and St. Marks, who was 20 miles away. He could not get there but once a month, and was not there to marry ncr bury the folk. So, when they had to get a minister of other ;ir wii<? n r.emntation V. 11 uvyiiii.iii k:v.'Mc ? to finally unite with their churches. She lost a great deal of good mater:a! in this way. And for some four years before 1 came they had a seminary student to serve them, and was not much better than the other arrangement. So the church went backward if anything. But now things are looking up. The attendance is growing, and new material is coming in. We had the best service this year that we have ever had. The church was filled on the week days. We took in 1(> members. which makes a total of CO sinr^f raiw tlnve <md a quarter ysars a?.\ i j ? iff ;< Dcn7t Waste Any Timo, See |i > i ij <| Opertx House Wednesday ! i i. .1 I M-.mhr>v of thozp mine from Baptist a:w -Methodist churches. I Is it any wonder that these people ! who have "Stood by the Stuff" all these years are proud of this growth. There were times when they must have been discouraged. It takes a loyal member to remain faithful through such up hill struggle. I am very fond of my Trinity peoj pie. and they are very kind to us. ? " .1 i I jfcxcuse all tills iOXIg tjJiaur, | when I read your article I thought you might be interested to know ; some facts about the church, if you j had not already heard them. Come 1 over to Trinity every chance. Wc , are glad to see you. With best regards, George S. Bearden. Saluda. August 14. Took Wife and Then Took Vacation. Health Officer S. T. Matthews told the reporter on Saturday that he would leave on Monday for a week's vacation. He never said a word about getting married and taking his bride with him. At ?he eleventh hour on this press day we were informed that our health officer got a move on by a quick trip to the marriage license bureau, thence immediately to the residence of the First Baptist church minister, where the Rev. E. V. Babb married him and hir bride, Miss Lizzie Moore, the coupk I at once taking automobile, driven by | Mr. S. W. Hodge, to Prosperity, anc I boarding a train for their trip. So i-1 turns out that Health Officer Mat thews will share his vacation with z bride. We hope they will both en- ^ joy it and that the health officer wil* return all the better prepared ' tc look after the health of the town. h< al Dominick-Whitman. jyj At 5 o'clock, August 1, Mr. D.
