It seems to us that the farmers! 65 .. - | have struck on the right plan in the; f * effort to finance the cotton crop by j the organization of the export cor- j -4-: ? TUovo lr?fc nf nprmln ! jjurauuu. J.licit aiv. c- , who need clothes, not only in this; country, .but in countries where they; do not grow cotton, and if the farmer' could open trade relations with these j peoples there would be a market and I demand for all the cotton we could j grow at a profitable price. Every j farmer should be willing to lend his: help and his 'money or his cotton in the financing of this corporation. j And the proposition is not only to! finance the cotton crop but other: I crops as well. h. ' And' this corporation should sell; direct to. the people who need and f want our cotton and other products,1 ? and not go through England but di- j rect (to Belgium and Germany and ; France and the other countries. Why should Liverpool fix the price of cot-' ton and make the big profits out of it I instead of the producer. There is need of cooperation along the line of raising the capital and financing the \ cotton crop and if this is given there will be no need to reduce the acreage, but the world will take all we ' winlre. because it needs all the cotton we can grow. I And another thing all of us should ? .learn, and that is to finance our-1 I selves. There is no doubt that the high prices and the great prosperity which came to us from these high prices that we all lived too rapidly and spent .too rapidly, otherwise we could have been better prepared for the present conditions. We spent as fast as we made and* the result is there is a cry of hard times here and ahead, but. no4 one should become ??-- ^ Koooiko this is too JUtlllC BU?.lkCU Ubbuvtuw great a country of ours to fear anything bad, but we need now to hus.band our resources and to get down . to business. -It will all come out right and the lesson will be a valu-' able one if we just profit by it. ?? Next week is <the great state fair the annual reunion for all the peopie of South Carolina and every one who can should go at least for one day and take the whole family. It will do you good to get out and mact * other .people and meet them with a smile and a word of good chesr. No ; use to go if you are going to take r. grouch along with you. The beautiful weather we are having has been a great blessing to the farmer who had cotton in the field and most of them had, and they have made good time and the cotton ir fast being gathered and wilV have very little if any damage to grade. <S> ,, <?>' AMONG THE SCHOOLS * ^ s " <?> <^<8><?><$><$><?><j><g><S><S><s><$><$><$><?3New Hopc-Zicn. , As announced in the last paper the county superintendent will visi. ^ew Hope-Zion on Friday (today) and will try to make the schedule so; as to reach the school house at Zicn at 12 o'clock, noon, and will be pleased to meet as many of the patrons, and friends of the school as may be able to make it convenient to be; present. There are a good many; matters in connection with this con-; solidated"district that the superinten- j dent would like to talk over with the j patrons and friends of the school, Ua V?rvnoc tViPv will make an i Altu UW UV^WU ViiMV effort to meet him at the school house at the time mentioned. ! o?~ ! Pomana. From New Hope-Zion the superin-! tendent hopes -that he may Le able to ! be present at the Hallowe'en party tc ! be given it Pomaria on Friday even- j ing, and will do so if the weather per-1 mits. He thanks the members of; the Civic league of the school for ar j invitation to meet with them on this- j occasion. And we urge the people j to turn out and make it a great event > in the community life. Maybinton and Mt. Pleasant. Superintendent Aull intends to j visit Maybinton school on next Tuesday, October 26, at about ten or ten thirty o'clock and will be glad to see j the trustees and patrons and friends of the school at the school house. He has never had the pleasure or the privilege of visiting the Maybinton school, and he gives Berry Richards and the others notice that he is coming and wants to meet them there. He expects to go from Maybinton to Mt. Pleasant and to /reach that 4 * school at 12 o'clock, noon, on thej same day, or as soon thereafter asj possible, and expects to see the pa-! trons and friends at the school! I house at that hour. Mark Smith lias; promised-to no along on this trip to: show the road, and more important j still he has promised to provide thei dinner when we get through with the} visits to the schools. Of course if it . I should rairi very much between this: time and Tuesday the red hills down i that side may be too much for our | new 111, but otherwise we will be there. O'Neall. The school at O'Neall opened on Monday with Mr. Alden Pugh as| principal and Mrs. Boozer and Mrs. Hayes as assistants. There was very j good attendance on the opening day! and a number of the patrons and | friends of the school were also pres- j ent. I drove down on Monday! morning and had asked Mr. T. S. j Wicker to go with me, which he did. j He taught at this place several yer.rs j ago. In fafct it was his first school j teaching after his graduation at J Newberry. We reached there on j time and addresses were made by j E. H. Aull, T. E. Wicker and T. M.| Mills, another teacher at this school j and one time a pupil. Mr. Long, j for "the -trustees, assured the tea?h-| ers of the hearty cooperation of the) trustees. This was one of the first j schools in the county to inaugurate! vears asro the custom of having ex- i hibitions at the close of the school j and they helped very much to create j the school spirit, and it has kr/v. been one of the fine rural schools of; the county. But recently the trict has voted on eight mills tax; and will qualify under the equalizing j law for state aid. Mr. Mills and Mr. Wicker both j gave some interesting facts in c:)r.-j nection with the history of the i T school and gave encouragement to! teachers and pupils. Mr. Mills lolJ how the school had grown from a log school house away back yonder to the nice one room house and then i two rooms and now to three rocm^, i and how the people of the community had always felt a just pride in; their school, and of the young men; and young women who had gone out from the school on to college and into the various vocations and had succeeded. I Mr. Wicker told me, though ha! didn't mention in his talk to Ih2 school, that when he went there h>| thought he should work, and that, h? "took in" /about 8 o'clock in !the! morning and' had a noon recess an;i; "turned cut" at 5 o'clock 111 the aft-| ernooa. That when December cam-? along 5 o'clock was very near darlc and that one day he received a rot2 from one of the patrons which ra:; about like this: "You can keep th-*, other chaps at the school all ni;?h: if you want tc. but please send my' chaps home at 4 o'clock sharp." 113. said he took the hint and turned cu'.; school after that at 4 o'clock shrrp.! It does sound strange in this r-ay j may be to some, but in the dxyz, gone, school did keep in most of the. dnv, and there was some work oe.n^ i i done. ' ! I have just been thinking sine? I went to the opening of this schocl j in this fine community, settled so J largely by white people, and those j who own their own homes as a rule, j and where the farms are small, what j a fine thing it would be for the many i?v>;iriynri n-f tho cnnH neorjle. ! U L i^, 1< v Wliii Ul Vil vx vitv, c A . % if they could sec the advantage of uniting the three school districts in this neighborhood and establish a real high school in the rural district, and have land enough with the school to build the teacher's home j along side the schobl house. It would be economy for those who have children, and be a great blessing to the children, and their interest should be our first concern. Wonder what the people would say about building one <?ood school for O'Neall. Saluda and Monticello somewhere j near enough to make the school ae- j cessible to all the children, and even j if some of them had a little further I to go than the others what a bless-j ing it would be for them, and how I much better than to have to go abroad to go to school. And I have j an intimation that there is a man i who owns lamL down that side who i would-, make a contribution of ten f acres for that purpose, and the land happens to be so situated that the' location would be easily accessible to i all the children. But first we want J to decide that we will build the school. Will the people think about this proposition? It is in the inter-! est of the children that I am speak- J in?, and that should be the supreme thought of the parents. St. Lukes. From O'Neall I drove over to St. Lukes where the school opened the same day. Mr. and Mrs. N. L. Wessinger, two of the teachers at St.. Lukes, had car trouble and came along by O'Neall about the time we were ready to start, an^ I took them in and brought them to St. Lukes, tl The other two teachers, the Misses t( Epting:, were already there when we ol arrived. And the children were! hi there and several of the trustees and J hi patrons. I made a talk and so didjtl Mr. Wicker and the Rev. W. H. Roof cl the pastor of the St. Lukes Lutheran y< church. This is another fine com- D munity in this section of the county, b; and there are lots of bright chil- il, dren here, and the people are o] aroused to the importance of a good bi school. They need a new building m for the school and it is to be hoped w that this district may decide to unite bi with Big Creek and establish a fine T school. The two schools would M have about 200 childi'en and should g have a lot of ten or 20 acres and U a teacher's house on the grounds.? Mr. Wessinger, the principal, is in j q need of a house in which to live right j C( now, and if we had the dwelling' ^ along with the school there would j be no trouble about the house, and ' ^ then his family would become a part h? of the community. I want to hold an educational rally j ^ down there some time very soon and i Q. get the people out to talk school all j day long, and we will have some good j ^ speakers there who can tell us about) the benefits of a good school in the t] country and how to obtain one. I u hope to have this meeting some time. v in November and will take it UP, c !i.L or*/^ O * ? "n All V. no t.Vlf* I . Wltfl Hit? LI aau aituvuitw v?.v j ^ date in the next paper. This is also | ^ a thickly settled white community | t] and mostly comprised of small farm- j ^ crs who make all they need for the i farm on the farm. The crops this j w year are good. And by the way the j roads are among the besc in the j county. I do not know how they get j ^ in the winter, though I do not im- ^ agine they ever get too bad for ^ travel in some comfort. . jc v Beth Eden. j + j T< On Tuesday morning I visited j t Beth Eden school taught by Miss J c Rachel McCracken. I invited the t Rev. L. P. Boland to be present. He ^ is ppstor of the Beth Eden Luth-, eran church. There were only a few > of the patrons present, but I talked i to the children and assured them i that I was their friend and asked I them to be my friend. The Rev. Mr. J Boland also made a talk. Miss a McCraeken taught the school last j e session and is a fine teacher and is ; v a doing good work here. It is not a I large school but there is a comfort-j u able one room house here and some i ^ 20 or more children. I * ? !i! Cromcrs. * j ^ I then drove ever to Cromers. jn This school is taught by Miss Lois j a Long and this is her first year in the j 0 school work. She is going at the. f work with the determination to make j 11 a success, and I have no doubt will; ~ do gcod and conscientious work here.: a i i There are only some 15 children in; the district. A new one room build-' 11 ing has been erected during the past j * year, and it is a great improvement i * over the old building that , was here ; 0 before this one. None of the pa-! ^ trons met us here. Mr. Boland, at: s my request, went with me over to! ^ Cromers and both of us made short j4 talks to the children. j 1 - I n I c I took my two boys and their > ^ mother along with me on, this trip, | and after the visit to the schools we i ' 2 drove ever to Mr. J. C. Duncan's, j to keep a promise of some time J J] standing to come out and take din-1 o ner with him and his good wife. He ^ has one of the nicest farms in this v county, and has on the farm this year a fine crop. And one of the ^ beauties of this farm is that it has some 250 acres of fine pasture with | living streams and even if boll wee- J ^ vil does come Mr. Duncan can grow ! ^ sheep and cattle and make more i c money than he can growing cotton. Mrs. Duncan is one of those fine j ~ house keepers for which Newberry is j famous, and such a dinner as she put ' 1 I e before us would make you remem-! ber it for days and months to come. | i n And you know that I can always j please the good housewives be- j * cause I am a good feeder and can j really enjoy a good dinner and know j one when I get to it. And the beauty, about thi3 one was that everything : on the table except ihc sugar and j the tea was grown cn the farm. What j would any c.:e ever desire to move i to town who could live so well in j the country is a mystery to me. Why j here in town we live out of paper sacks and have a hard time doing that. I do not see how these people who have really lived on the farm could ever be satisfied */> live in town. As my friend Jim Wheeler i would say they could live very well j for the first year, but after the things they brought from the farm j begin to give out then the struggle begins. Mr. Duncan is living on the old homestead of his father and near the spot where he was born. He drove me over to the burying ground of the Puc-ketts, who lived in this community in the good old days that are j gone. The graveyard is not kept up i \ - lough Mr. Dunc-an has fenced it in New protect it from the depredations j to ? f the cattle. Jacob Duckett and'haz? is wife, Sallie Duckett, are buried j be are, the latter died in 1840 and j M le former :n !8-l*>. One of their | wea lildren. Regnal Duckett, aced three I it b i ^ L'ars, ..ied in 180-5 and Elizabeth I bo \ uckett in 1817. In fact the entire} tor. jrial ground is of the Duckett fam-! but y. There are a great many of these, conl Id family burying grounds in New- j the ?rry county. Some of them have j coui larkers in the way of tombstones j exel ith inscriptions telling who are j well aried there and some of them none.. is n ne?e graves are all nicely marked. J vail [r. Duckett settled near the burying'nee< round and as was the custom in, he? lose days built near a fine spring, j to i The road from Newberry to sa^s romers is one of the best in the jT 3unty. And they tell me up there 1 unc* lat Dr. Thomas H. Pope is to have j ^et le credit for the road being in as i UP? ne condition as it is. He does a' irge practice all through this sec- ( I*1'0 on, but some time ago he made a j Peri *ip up that side soon after a rain j C1*i: r during the rainy season, and had i h?u ) be pulled out of the mud several.mv( mes anH hp inst. let it be known I ^ hat unless they fixed the road, if jnav ley needed his seivices it would be j re^c seless to ring- his phone, because he;te3^ "ould not answer. Of course they'ter ould not stand the thought of be- ^ J ig unable to get their physician if j ^ei hey should get sick, so they just got! * be community together and with j lie aid of the chain gang they top 1 oiled the road practically all the j v*?l ray, and the big hills and long hills; ^S1 long about. Indian and Gilders j The reeks are now hard and smooth and! key rith a little upkeep will be good all j forr tie year. It only shows what can be j *^le nna hv n little community spirit and i we? ooperation, and it costs each one 'e3t* ery little. There is need of a little !*ro: op dressing about Beth Eden. Bui ^ro hat will come. Wish some other | c^e' omniunities in the county would get; exc he same spirit* and see what cculd tne >e done by a little cooperation. j cou E. H.
