vvww Retold anH Jems, j; i ftstered at the PostofSce at New* ! !' *<rrj>? S. C., as 2nd class matter, j ?. H. AULL, EDITOR. j Friday, November 19, 1920. |' q All'the proposed amendments to | i the state constitution were adopted in the recent election. If the old in-; strument needed that many amend- j ments it would seem that it is about ' time to adopt a new constitution. MB FINE SWEET POTATOES. The editor is indebted to Mr. W.! H. Nichols for a lot of very fine sweet j potatoes. One in the lot weighed five pounds, and they were as sweet and fine as larsre. With the fine potatoes, and all the other good things we can grow to eat in this country the won-j: ' der is that any ofte should ever bo heard to/ complain in any respect, even if cotton does go down in pricc., We can not only clothe the world but i we can feed the world. We need to / j learn the art of preserving the po-, tato. It is fine food. And then we! can grow in this country as fine Irish potatoes as can be grown anywherfc. j ? With the boll weevil here we should prepare to grow other things besides cotton, and with all the warning that we have had if the boll weevil should j cause any hard times it will be onlyj our own fault. Some one has said that the farmers ! will not believe that the boll weevil, ^ *? . will do any harm until there is at / least one failure of crop. But judg-i ing from an article which we printed; lattt issue the boll weevil does * Ml . 1 ' not continue to do any great amount of harm. After he has arrived, in two or three-years, we judge that the section visited begins to grow cotton in the same proportion as before. It may be on account of better knowledge of how to grow it. Or it may - be because there is diversification of s crops. At any rate it does not seem that the boll weevil has made any very great depreciation in the total crop grown. The plan, after all, for the-farmer of this section is to maks his farm self-sustaining, and then t' t.hft holl weevil can do no great 2 v - , damage. And the farm that is not so j jiade never makes any great amount j of: money. As our old friend John Crooks. says: "Give the. boll weevil h?1, and; that is what we are doing dxnvn here, j Housing plenty for man and beast. I! don't fear iiim a bit. I believe he I ' Y v "* , J will do the planters of the cotton i belt more good than fighting Jimmie Cox coulc^ have done had he been elected." He says they call him old ' deaf John Crooks, but as Hambone says, "I am only 65 years young, and j can tlo more work than half the! young negroes." He wants all cruel j wars stopped and everybody put t*> work, rich and poor, to feed the? starving women and children and then he wants to go fishing. That i ; the trouble. There is need for morj work. And then go a-fishing. ANOTHER LETTER FROM MR. HUTCHINSON. The editor of The " Herald and News has received another letter from Mr. Young I. Hutchinson. We are taking the liberty of printing it in j full, and we believe that it will be read with interest. In regard to what he says about the efficiency of the postoffice it.ioj due that we should say that the letter j to which he refers was written on j Saturday the 6th, but was not mailed at Newberry until Monday the 8th, and therefore if it reached him at Wilmington, Del., on the 10th it .did not make such bad schedule as would appear from the date. So, after all. Gamaliel may not do much bette1* even if he does get a new postmaster * V Ml rjnerai, as ne iiKeiy win. Mr. John Crooks from down on Broad river, or as he says in his letter to s, Gulley Branch, noted the letter from Mr. Hutchinson which j we printed and he writes from Gul- j ley Branch to say: "I see that our I esteemed friend also takes The Her- j *. aid and News. A mighty fine young j man was Young Hutchinson. Would | of loocl I . \ IUVC IK live IU ICC U111I Cl L Ituni uuvv more." We are sure Mr. Hutchinson would like to come back once more to the scenes and hf.unts of his youth, and may be this little correspondence and the publishing of an extract from his other letter may induce him to make a visit to his old county where j he will have a good welcome. The following is the letter from; Mr. Hutchinson: j Wilmington, Del., Nov. 11, 1920. j Armistice Day.: My Dear Mr. Aull: Your kind letter acknowledging j the receipt of the money f(5r renewal j of my subscription was received yes-1 i nth fnr which. I thank tCi UCi^ % kliv A V V*4f _ you very kindly. I was just reminiscing with what! despatch your letter travelled, which shows efficiency (?) on the part of| somebody. According to the date it written on the Oth inst.? it was I - - * i postmarked at your postoffice at 12 . m., November 8th, and I received it j :>r the morning of November 10th. a j little over 48 hours hebind time. Just i wait till Gamaliel gets a new "post-; master general and we'll see what; we shall see. * , I was glad to have the little history j of some of your relations, especially i of "Jim." I call to mind that one day back in the sixties, somewhere. between '65 and '70, I helped to haul i a wagon load of wheat to Aull's mill; just outside of town and stayed all, night while the wheat was bein<r j ground and hauled it back home as) flour the next day. I was living then J on James Adams' farm adjoining the j old Reuben Gilliam place and Capt.' Keitt's farm on Enoree. James j Adams was my mother's second hus-; band by whom she had a daughter, j my half sister, and who is now living j in your town. She is the widow of j J. Monroe Wicker. No doubt you! were acquainted with Monroe. You mentioned in your letter that' you thought I must have left old Newberry many years ago. In 1878, I attended the Peabody school at Greenville, under Capt. Patrick, fori one term, and in 1871 I was at the j Furman university for a term. Old Dr. Furman was then living, and we had such _teachers as Professor Jud son and Professor Harris. Those years were the time of my life. After leaving the university I went back home, and in the latter part of July, '71, left home for Baltimore to attend the Bryantr, Stratton and Sadler Bsuiness college. I was there until the last days of '71, when I had made up my mind to go to Philadelphia and look around that burg for a day or two as I had never been that far north,-then I would take a steamer for Charleston on my way home. But?that never happened. Just before T was to leave Baltimore a letter came to Mr. Sadler, of the institution, from Wilmington, Delaware, asking if he had a student he could recommend for a position in the shop office of a railroad company. Knowing that I was ready to leave Baltimore Mr. Sadler came to me and asked me if I would care to try for the position. I thought it over for a while and I concluded as I had never been north of Baltimore it would be. a good chance for me to see Wilmington, and if I didn't like the job I would go on to Philadelphia and -x ? x A.: T consummaxe my nrsi irueuuuiu>. ? told Mr. Sadler that I would go to Wilmington and see what I could do. I expected to stay with the company for a month or so at least. T nma vrrifVi fViom nnnfinunnslv for X W ao VT1VA1 WUWiii w**v.4?v.v J ? a little over 45 years. I am now 0:1 the retired list on a pension and I have an annual pass in my pocket that insures me free passage over ^ie lines of the Pennsylvana railroad east of Pittsburgh. After staying here for a year or two I &ot acquainted with a youn;>* lady of Wilmington, and you may imagine the rest. We were blest with four children, all of whom are living, one in Anacortes. Wash. .And now I will beg yo uto excuse me for having presumed so much as to occupy your valuable time in reading this (probably to you) uninteresting epistle. Yours very respectfully, Young I. Hutchinson. 511 Jefferson street. Note?I should have received Tuesday's paper yesterday, but it was delayed until today. <$> <?> <?> <?> ^ 3> <& 'V <r AMONG THE SCHOOLS* <ss < ? <$><$>?><$>?>'? <i? <?> ? S s/ <? Rally Day at St. Lukes. ' TUT 1 1 _ ? 4.: _ C( we nau a nne meeting; ul Lukes on last Friday. The crowd was nbt as large as I should havj liked, but those present were interested and I/feel encouraged that the people down this side have seen where it is to their interest and to the interest of the children to provide a good high school right out there in that fine 'rural community. In fact, I do not know of any community where all the conditions are so favorable for a fine school as they are right here. What we are talking ahnnf. now should have been done several years ago, but because it was not is no excuse for not doing the right thing now. As I have said all along, the great trouble is to get the people to see where it is to their interest, or I should put it, this way, to the interest of the children, and they should be the main consideration ?1 ?- ~~o 1 L- nKaiiI cr? rsnl Wllt'Il WC VJUZIXC taii\ auuviu cvnw?> Any one who could have seen those one hundred children march out of the school house to the church on Friday morning:, and not feel that he should do all he can for them, must be a hard citizen to convince of his duty. And they can not wait. What we are going to do should be done now. Most of the children who were in this school eight years ago are not there now. They have passed on down the road and out into the activities of life. The meeting was held in the church. As Dr. Babb, it was good to have the meeting in the church, because the school and tne; church are the right hands of one i another and what helps the one isj good for the other. I was sorry tha:! Pastor Roof was absent, but I know ( that he is with the purpose of the: movement, to better the school, arid he had to be away at the synod of his! i church. The religious exercises werej conducted by the Rev. .J. I). Griffin of tho Methodist church, himself for] many years u successful teacher. IJ was sorry that by some misunder-; stand Dr. Walter Hunt was not with us* but I am goinpr to have ajiothor ] meeting down in this ?ecitoni before lonjr aiui can uso him at this' " 1 time. j The Svst addrw*; of the morning was made by the Rev. E. V. Babb, j and' il was a good one. and the peo- j ]>!e >are high in praise of all that he ; said and the manner of the saying, j It hit the spot. Rev. J. D. Griffin also j J- ? '? ? ? /I t A fiu? ! zna^e <t iiiit' c<xiA. auu u^j^/ w v***- I point. And then we had dinner on I the gronud and this spread is only in- j dicative of the quality of the people : down this side. -It was all that any, one could desire, and there was. plenty of it. In the afternoon there was a fine . address by Mr. Leuco Gunter and he i told the people in plain and simple -Crt.-r.rt4?:njvlc incjt what the <tliu 1U11.I Olt ?.vivw j . great need of the rural school is, and how to obtain it, and how it could be had right here at St. Lukes by Big Creek and St. Lukes agreeing to get together and they have the children and the taxable property and the fine citizenship to do just what we are trying to get them to- see they should do, and I am satisfied that as soon as they see it they will do it, and I am sure they are beginning to see what they should do, and then I am sure it ..-ill Wp linnp that the sev ' Will. Ut UVUV. . ? ~ ^ ieral talks down there on Friday will ' put the people to talking, and .to thinking of the opportunity that is theirs. Dr. James C. Kinard of | dewberry college came down in the 'afternoon and made a fine talk. ; St. Lukes needs a new school ; house. A new house at Big Creek is absolutely necessary. Both districts have an eight mills tax for maintenance. Then why not unite forces and select some central place and secure some ten or 20 acres of land and get the school spirit and have the model rural school of this section. This can be done if the people make up their minds to do it. Of course it is going to take some work and some sacrifice on the part , of the people, but what better work could engage them and what better service could they render their community. Non e that I can think of. There Is nothing that could be done j to. make community life more worth ; while in this section than by coming f-rtcraf-lipr nnH the' building: of a good v ? - w. _ I modern and up to date school house. | And I am convinced that this is what ; -the good people down here are goling to do, and that'they are going to do it now. j I did not keep my appointments on ; Wednesday; 1 regret to say, but it j rained all day Tuesday and at night : the indications were that it would ; continue to rain for at least another day and therefore on Tuesday ! night with the assistance of Mr. : Jacob Ivoon of Pomaria central I can> celled the appointment at Pressly janct Broad River and tried to reach Rutherford, but could not get the ! phone to answer. It was well, no i doubt, even though the sun was shinjing beautifully on Wednesday, for the roads would have been in bad {condition, and then I had some office work that needed attention. I spent Tuesday in the rain in Columbia to see the. state superintendent in regard to some state aid and had all the applications approved for term extension. I hope to make the trip next week down to Pressly. On Friday I have promised to attend the " it 1 nv negro iair at vaugiiuvmc ?inu v.\,pecl to go by Bush River where the .'new building is in process ot ereetion and then come back by Smyrna to the community fair at tills school. \ Every now and then some one will call and say that he was in the office to see me and I was not in. That is true. I do not expect to be in the office at the court house only when there is something Lhere that needs . to be done. The law requires that I visit each school at, least once a year. ; I have said several times that I would 1 -1 1 ^-v -C AAR/iq nn proDaoiy oe uui ui. uic umw. ?/i? Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday somewhere in the country.- and on Monday and Thursday I will be in town, but probably not at the court house. I may be found easily. On Saturday I will be in the office at the court house. Please bear these dates in mind, if you have business with the superintendent, and it will be will for all of us. I am tryir.p: to visit the outlying schools first while the roads are passable. i I hope all the teachers will rej member the county teachers meeting ;on Saturday and be sure to be pres; ont. Also would like to see the trus: tees with us. j | s I Mt. B'-*the!-Garmany Fair. I regret that my engagements weie such that I was denied the pleasure 1 of attending the community fair at Mt. Bethel-Garmanv on Friday but i - . I could not be there and at St. Lukes both. Every one w ho was present at. the fair speaks in the highest terms' of the excellent fair that these goo?l people had and 1 am ?ure that it was the real thing because these people ( have the right spirit and thev take; I an interest and th?- ><}.? irreai reason! I ' I Is that in.- people <>f the t,\vo districts |tli got together and have built up a com--jw munity center, of which they arc c? rightly proud and this is only evi- al dence of the good that comes to a 0 community by getting together and e* bettering the school conditions. It is i *" a community builder. ; k At. the fair the following prizes M were offered and won: j bi Best booth, first prize won by!
