October S, 1920. i To apply the torch to the cotton j gins is carrying the effort to increase r. the price of cotton a little too far.: And the perpetrators should be pun- j ishea. Even if it would do any good or .had the semblance of right on its side it is bad policy and it would be j better to insist that the cotton be ginned because then it can be handpfnrQr) ?anH in tVfP SfpH it is icu auu cwvi. vu uuu too bulky to handle, but apart from i that it is wrong to set fire to any-! thing of this kind and the quicker it can be stopped and the guilty punished the .better for the country. There seems to be more cotton ir the field not picked than was ever: known at this season of the year but when what is open is gathered there' 1,1 * ??

No use to continue to plant it so long as the v price is below the cost of production. GLENN-LOWRY HOLDS ! - ' FINE COMMUNITY FAIR $??' , i I always love to go to Whitmire. I >, * mean what I say. There is an air of | the community spirit which sweep' over one as soon as he reaches the town, and you feel the breezes fanJ. ning you all the time and that is what I like. And then as I have ofter. ; aforetime remarked these people dc : ' things and they, know ftow to qc : \ them. That i9 another thing I like. I love people who do things and who know how. They have optimism and . they have another thing which some , people call peptimism, if there is sucr. a word, and if there is not there should be. They put the pep in what they do. . . 1 ?o-i? [ Only the past summer, and the work is not yet' entirely complete, the Glenn-Lowry has spent something like $20,000 on improvements in the school building. That is another thing I like about the management of this mill company, they believe v in providing the means of education for the, people of the mill village and also for the people of the community. They also believe in providing the other% things that are for the betterment of the mill help. They have one of the finest Y. M. C. A. buildings in the state, and I doubt if there is a more complete -building anywhere in the country. There are the gymnasium and the hot and cold baths and the pool and billiard rooms free to the members of the Y. M. C. A. and the library and the reading room with the best and latest maga zines and newspapers ana tne mowng pictures, and then they have the finest baseball diamond in the state r/ and have a fine team, and now the towil is engaged in installing a system of sewage 'and water works and o1<w+rir? lJcrVite s?r>H tnprp arp coir.?'" up some of the finest and most modern residences that you will find anywhere. Why should one not like to visit such a live town. And then ! - . - * ?every one has a good word for the town and the school and the people. And there are handsome churches and fine preachers and the commun- : ity spirit is the thing that has beer, a big factor in bringing about these things of which I have spoken. President E. E. Child and Vice President W. M. Sherard and Superintendent Howard and William Hipp and the other assistants in the mil1 are the neoole who are driving thi; 1 town ahead and doing so much for the betterment and uplift of the community. Mr. W. B. Gordon is the secretary of the Y. M. C. A. and is on the jcb all the time and greets you with r. smile and is always giad to see you and willing to help, and lend a hand. Ari Miss Alma Lupo.is the efficient ana bright ard cheerful welfare worker among t..e women and girls and her influence is doing wonder." in the betterment cf conditions and in" helping 'he girls of the community. And they two know hoy; tc make one feel glad that ha came and ' linger when it conies time to leave.: They held the first community fair! over there the past week and it wai j fine. Some of the exhibits would dc ;: credit to the exhibits at the state fair | and in fact would excel some that I; have seen down that side in the years i that are gone. So when Mr. Gordon ; wrote me that the ladies had requested me to invite me to come ; over and act as one of the judges it was not in me to decline, though I realized that I was utterly incompetent to fill the bill, but the tendency to visit this town influenced me in my acceptance, and over I went. It wa J through, the courtesy of Mr. II. ; . { Parr that I had the opportunity lo j get there. He offered me a seat ir. j his car with his daughter and he:* { husband, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick. a:u!! on Friday morning we drove ovar, j arriving about 12 o'clock noon. -o- | Mrs. H. L. Parr, one of the judgef., had gone the day before, and Mist j Bessie L. Campbell, the other judge, j drove over with Mr. T. M. Mills andi Mrs. J. M. Workman and Miss Nell! Davis. Of course, as I have said, I j knew nothing about embroidery r.nl | tatting and hemstitching and all tha;: sort of stuff, but when it came t d j the "fudge" and the pies and ca::c3; and things like that I was in my j element and knew what was what, j and the old relics and the preserves! and canned fruits I knew a li'.tljj something about, but they would not; open them so that they might be! sampled, and the only way for mi; to! judge eats is to eat, and so I left the j fancy work entirely to the two ladies, j There was a fine display of cloth ar-i ranged by Mr. Addy, the cloth bc:n ;J the product of tho mill of course. ?o? The needle and fancy work was j fine and there was a great deal of it, J and some of the paintings by th 3; girls were very good for amatear:,j and the basket work ar^d so on and! on, and we pinned red ribbons ar.dj blue ribbons arid wmte moons c::: many of the articles and would havj; been delighted to have placed a ril- j bon on all the work. There war. a:;: excellent piece of work by one of the; boys in the mill which was in a clarc \ all by itself, and it was made by hi.u! in his spare time. It consisted cf a;. scr<" driver and some mill clot'i fools and the finish was as pretty as! you could find anywhere. In fzcz it was a gem. I do not recall the! name of the bey who made them, "ou. he works in the mill. In one cf tho i ! tools he had worked on the inside under the outside finish a picture of his work and baby and the "whole war-! the work of a genius. When it came to the old relies J there was quite a number of them i and I did not realize that a good: Seceder like Mrs. Parr could get fart i enough away from the matter of.iau . to indulge a joke, but in pasting! around the'relics she pointed out a! clock which she said was so old that; the shadow from the pendulum ia'. the many swings which it had mad:; during the centuries had really worn' a, hole in the back of the clock. I' did not examine it to see if she war 1 correct or merely joking me. In facii we could not exactly agree on the, relic entitled to the blue ribbon, an.3J the only way to reach a compromise; was to agree with her. I was some- j what undecided whether we should pin the blue ribbon on the first pair: of pantaloons of Zack Suber or on! the Scotch champagne flask which j had been handed down for 125 year:; through four generatiSns whoso j names were written on the flask and I I decided at last that the flask shculd j have the blue ribbon because of th: i fact that even now such a thing .'3 ai real curiosity in these dry and thirsty i days through which we are passing, j but Mrs. Fair would have none oi it, J even though I had let her have herj say as to fancy work without med-i dling on my part. I thought that the j Scotch flask should at least have the I white ribbon, but none of it for Mrs. j. Parr. She said she was going th3 J, next day to attend a prohibition! meeting somewhere over about Jchn-i ston and of course could not com-' mend anything that even had a re- j semblance to or any connection with the wine when it is red or even white.;. So the blue ribbon for relics went i to an old fox horn made from a cow's i horn and labeled as made in 1796 ; and the red ribbon was pinned on r. stuffed squirrel in perfect state of! preservation though stuffed 35 ye.-.r^j ago. I do not recall now the rciic; that got the white ribbon. I do not i happen to remember the names of i the winners of all the prizes for | candy and pies and cakes but I do ' !1 ^ 1 _ - 7 1 nap pen to recaii tnai j sav, auvi ww ,. had decided on the "fudge" and I'. had eaten about all of it that the; plate to which we pinned the blue ! ribbon bore the mark of Mrs. Vv\ ?. i Gordon, and it was as line "fudge" j I have ever eaten. When the, judges finished testing and tasting; the "fudge"' here was nothing left i but the plate to which to attach the J blue ribbon. The' list of i ribbon takers is given in the account i which we publish from the Glenn- J. Lowry News by the courtesy of Miss Alma J-upo the editor of this bright and newsy sheet. |, ?o? i 1 - . . I I was sorry we ccuici nor remain j over for the evening: when the people came to look ?t the exhibits and to enjoy the music of the orchestra and the band but we had to return home. The lirst community fair at > ^ . -s i Whitmire was pronounced a success i and the people will be encouraged to; have another and a bicker and better one. that is the way they do thincrs over this side. ?o? i The school has opened and 1 think| Superintendent C. M. Wilson told me the enrolment was more than 400 j and some of the classes are crowded. But everything is moving smoothly at the school and the enrolment wjii increase, aiki mey art' ^umi; ^ have a fine year at this school. We drove the upper road jroinjr, that is around by Cromers and the Brick House, but that was so bad that we came back the lower road by the Gibson place, now the fine coun-1 try home of the Brown brothei*s. Mr. Parr's driver. Henry, said it was ! the better road and I am inclined to agree with him. Or I should say it is not as bad as the other road, because neither cr.e could be described correctly as the better road. We certainly need a road or two roads to Whitmire. It would not be such a big undertaking to build a good road from Newberry to Whitniire if we could just get the thing started. I thank Mr. Gordon and the ladies for the opportunity to make' this visit to Whitmire and I hope I may have another opportunity soon. I did not have opportunity to get further up town than Mrs. Fortune, where I enjoyed a good dinner. E. H. A. .+ / <?> < / <?x ?/ < / <? -. > <?> s> <*y AMONG THE SCHOOLS v '* *. > v> < / / / / Johnstone. Johnstone school opened on Mor. day with Miss Elizabeth Renwick as principal and Miss. Rosa V/aipcle ;.o assistant. There was a line enrolment and the patrons and" trustees were there in good number owing to the fact thai it was circus day in Nev/oerry. Miss Renwick takes hold of the work just like one who was accustomed to it and we are satisfied that she is going to make a fine principal for his school. Addresses of encouragement and good cheer were made by Col. E. H. Aull, the Rev. G. F. Clarkson. the Rev. J. A. Mc Keown and Mr. John C. NeeL and the school starts off well. Garmany-Eethe!. Mt. Bethel-Garmany school had the opening: exercises on Tuesday because the children wanted to go to the circus on Monday and the parents and teachers had to go along and this h all right because the good circus is an educator. The formal oneninff showed the lieht spirit. The patrons and trustees were present and several gentlemen to encourage the school by the message they might bring. Mr. B. B. Leitzsey had charge of the program and after a song by the school, prayer was offered by the Rev. J. W. Carson, D. D., and then Dr. Carson, President S. J. Derrick, Prof. 0. B. Cannon, Professor Poole, Mr. T. M. Mills and Col. ~E. H. Aull made talks to the ?J nvi/1 lrOT7_ cniiuifii ai:u pauuiu uuu ui& note of all .the remarks was a plea fcr cooperation and the school spirit which spell success for any school. The teachers this year are Miss Mattie Cromer, principal; Misses Mary Brown and Margaret Mcintosh, assistants. Misses Cromer and Brown are experienced and successful teachers and Miss Mcintosh is a recent graduate of Winthrop and a very bright girl and we are sure this school will do good work the coming session. 1 v Reederville. Tuesday afternoon I drove to Reederville, above Kinards, to meet with the trustees of the Reederville cc-hocl and also the trustees cf Bush River. Both these schools have changed the boundaries and the Reederville district' includes part of Laurens and Bush R'ver takes a part of the Old Reederville and each has un assessed valuation cf around $90,000 and both are building two room modern school houses. The contract for the Reederville house has been let and wcrk will be commenced very soon and it is expected by the trusteci to have the house completed before Christmas. Each district has also voted the eight mills tax and hopes to qualify as a state aided school guaranteed the minimum term c 1 sever, mor.tlu ar.d the minimum salary for teachers and I have no doubt will do so if the buildings can J be completed. Reedervilie will is-; sue bonds for .$4,000 for building and Bush River has already voted the bonds for the building. The trustees at Reedervilie are I.; M. Smith, J. A. Davis from Newberry j and J. B. Speake from Laurens and i they are very much interested in the school. "Whenever the trustees make up their minds to go ahead the people as a rule will sustain them. The same is true of the trustees at Bush River, Carey Johnson, L. C. Singley and F. JI. Satterwhite. The contract \ for ihis building has not yet been lot f t< but it is hoped to close the contract n during the present week and to have; t this building ready by or before!:! Christmas. ' ! I Each district h;:s a beautiful site s< tor the building and will comply with ' :i the state law to secure four acres of ,ti iground. Mr. M. M. Satterwhite has j si | donated one and a half acres on thejg I public road near Bush River church! a and 31 r. Smith ami another neignoor j a ; wili give nearly or quite all the land j ! for the Reederville lot. This is fine a ! spirit and shows that these good citi-;s : zen? are interested in the upbuilding : t i of their communities and there is t ; nothing that will help more than a ; j'good school and a good house and!t 'nice grounds are very important lg ; parts to a good school. j v 1 had never been in this Reeder-lfi ! ville community before but once and L then only to the home of the late I. jt M. Smith and the school house which i a sfnnd nnt f;ir swav. This time I : G i drove the road from the Smiths on j a J down to Bush River church, a road j i: J that I liad never traveled before be-; i: I tween the residence of Mr. I. M.! a I Smith and Mr. Henry Dorroh. This j I i is a fine country community, good ! n ' lands and good citizens and a good . a j school will help it to b'e still better ;t iand I am pleased to see the interest jv i these people are taking in the mak- \ a j ing of a better school. The Eush d j River Baptist church is one of the ! | largest and strongest rural Baptist i jchuches in the state and is served at'-y | present .by the Rev. R. H. Burris, one ^ : of the strong men of the denomlna-1 j ion, who is interested in community < building in the rural districts. j c i The Reederville school has opened o in a ne;Tro house until the new c ; building can be completed with I.Ilss; t : Irene' Workman as teacher and ar- \ other teacher will be r 'led as coo:: v : us the room can be secured. :t i At Bush River the school ha's t opened in a similar house with i/Iiss i Beulah Smith as teacher and it is ? hoped to have another teacher by the c lirst of the coming month and if no s other arrangement can be made pos-;"* : sibiy another snch house may be se- j \ 'cured to make cut with until ths;t building is finished. It i V is Kteards. ! I i i The Kinarasr school has been run- j s I ning for a couole of weeks with Miss t | Lucy Riser anc^ Miss Gertrude Smith : c | as teachers and the work is moving ; c j smoothly along;, p This is also a nr.e :: i school though, "tfWe house is on the j t j Newberry side. j s ! ^ i ^MapJjinton. j C 1 This school opened on Monday; ;with Miss Rosa Holliday as t,eacher.; 'This, is a small School on account of 3 the scarcity of children, though the c trustees are interested and have re- c ' cently improved the building and j : made the .-surroundings comfortable ; j : and neat. j t j - j t Mt. Pilgrim. j j | This school will begin the fall ses-! -j sion on next Monday with Mrs. An-: ( nette Erooks asgeacher. Mrs. Brooks'^ was before her fharriage only a few J ^ 1 days ago Miss Annette Long and for t three years was a member of the fac-'s ulty of Summerland college and is f a teacher of ability and experience, j ] Peak. j Ey appoinment I met with the \ ' teacher and the patrons and trustees! and children and friends of the I 1 1 ^ * - - "? ! school at ir'eax cn vvear.esaay aitsrnocn at 2 o'cock. I had intended to drive through but an engagement at Newberry prevented getting off in t time and I am glad that it did be- t ! cause on Tuesday night there was a' i ; heavy rain fall in the Peak communi- ? I ty and as far toward Newberry as e Pomaria and this side and the red s hills around Peak were slippery. c Tkere was a splendid meeting and t many of the patrons of Peak and St.. t John were present an'I gave excel- h ler.t attentior to what I had to say. I It ha~ been iecided to consolidate I the Peak and the St. John districts o but under the agreement made last o 'summer tlaere are to be two schools! I maintained and really I car. see very, r little good.-in such a consolidation i a e::cept that it may act as a leader; d and a step to something worth while \ - in the future and then it ^ives by; S the terms of consolidation an add:-1 tioral turd to St. John and makes it i ^ possible to have a school at this place. J 3ut r.!l things will work cut well j after a while Vvh?n the people coir.ej to think a;, they should about their j schools. j ? Prof. T?ics. C. Ser.se is the teach-1 sr and there are about 19 pupils en-! roiled ?o. far and the school is get- J tine? alonef fine. E. H. A. | n 1 a Pomaria. J P By appointment I made a talk to j ^ the patron? and trustees and friends j ^ of the school at Pomaria 0:1 Y/ed-j l nesday evening at 8 o'clock. This is t a one of the fine schools of the county! and he people of the community take! j* a pride in the -school and the pity is j that there could not be a little more' ( prritory annexed so that there were j )0"o children and a high siv.col for J he community maintained. A'nd | neve is territory right up against | :ie liif'trict and in easy reach of the k-hooi that would do well to come -.to this district and help to make lis an even better school and at the , ame time have the advantage of the j ood school for their children. But? 11 these will come in time. It is all i. process of education. i There was a very good attendance nd I do not think I ever tried to ' peak where there was better atten- j ion and more interest than at this j ime and that is what I like to see, j ecause when the people make up j heir minds to do a thing it is as j ood as done. There is a handsome: rick building in this district and a j ine lot of some throe acres overookir.g the town from the hill and he building is so planned that an ddition of several rooms can be j asily made. The school is getting! long fine. Prof. J. H. Bedenbaughj 5 serving his second term and is giv-! ng excellent service. Teaching of griculture has been put in and Mr. Jedenbaugh took the special s^m-, ner course at Clemson. He is ably ssisted in the work .by Misses Quat-, lebaum and Duckett. The school /ill have an eight months term and .n enrolment of more than 75 chil-, Iren. ?o? I enjoyed the evening at Pomaria pith these good people and expect o go there again before so long. *rcf. J. C. Poole kindly consented, o drive down with me and there was i ?nly one thing to mar the pleasure if the trip and that was the fearful or.ii'.lcn of the road from Newberry o Prosperity and it gets worse and vo:-t. I notice that come one is i-cr!:!ng or. the government road just >eycrd Prosperity and I was undc-r he impression that the state was gon? to tal:e this road over under the * - ~ ~ Vk rv /I nrmriif I Art ill us l'au c ^iiuiuvit c?:av.:-2 the work was done under the up e. vision cf a state engineer ar.c! vo.i -ever properly done. But any \*ay to get it pat in just a little beter condition will be acceptable. Arc. he road from Excelsior in by Jolly street is in worse condition than sval. Something wrong down this ido. Even Walters hill is almos: jeyor.d the climbing. Just a little Ira^ging and .scraping and cleaning >f ditches would make this road good ^errfure there is not so much heavy rcffic on it. Let us all down thic ;ic?t together and do the job. I vill h~l"p ycu or. tF.is road if some mo will take the lead. ; I have an appointment to speak at Sunt er-De Walt Friday evening at 8 >'c!ock and the patrons and friends >f the school are all invited and exacted to be there. The purpose is ust to talk about the condition of he schoofantf see if there is anyhing that we can do to help and to' nake the next session a better one! ;han any that has gone before. In >ther words to arouse a little enhusiasm and get the school spirit at vOrk in the community.. The Rev. S. ?. Koon is to be principal of this chool the coming term and he is a ihe teacher and has large experience.' le will be assisted by Mrs. Bessie Richardson and Miss Livingston and he school opens next Monday.
