DORMITORY FOR GIRLS.
We invite you to read an editorial
which we print from the 'Anderson
Daily Mail on the proposed new dormitory
at the university for girls.
Some of the women's clubs hSTs en- j
' dorsed the proposal and are asking^
the legislature to appropriate at mis.
session $250,000 for this purpose. !
We agree most heartily with what j
the Daily Mail has to say on the
subject. In the first place there is
no demand for such a dormitory for
the-few girls who are attending the
university. In the second place tms
is no opportune time to ibuild a dor-;
mitory unless it was absolutely necessary.
. !
Big demands are going to be made
on the legislature fop education, and
money properly spent and properly
used for the education of the youth
v of the state is the best investment the
foto con malfp.
With the big demand that is going
to be made on the appropriations by
the several -acts of the legislature
providing help for the rural schools,
it is hardly going to be the part of
wisdom to build that girls' dormitory
unless there was more real need
for it. And besides, it is getting time
for the state to do at l&st a small
proportionate share for the education
of the great mass of the children of
the state who can never go to college.
In recent years the legislature has
waked up to the importance of bet
tering the condition of the rural
schools, and has passed some acts
^poking to that end, and offering inducement
of help provided the school
districts would do something themselves,
and many of the districts
have met the conditions, and it is*
now up to the legislature to furnish
the money promised. In this county
every school district has voted a special
tn :. *o comply with the conditions
laid Aown by the legislature to
secure state aid, and the te&hers
have been employed and the school
year pitched on that "basis, and if the
legislature snouia iau m uic a^iw
priation it would just demoralize the
whole school system. But there must
<be no thought that the legislature
will fail in the doing of its part.
Under present conditions the dormitory
for girls at the university
can very well wait- The Citadel is
asking for a big sum for building
and that project has been started
, and will have to go forward. Winthrop
wants more money and the
university is asking for more money
in addition to the large sum for the
dormitory.
The main purpose of every one
n<jw should be to do that which will
tend to build up the rural communi
ti^s of the state, and there is no better
way than to encourage the betterment
of the rural schools of the state.
Many of the districts are poor in taxable
property, and even a big tax
levy does not bring sufficient funds to
have a school worth while. Uhere
most be aid from some source other
than the district itself. The state
has said if you will vote this tax we
will help you to have a fine rural
community and fine rural school.
What this country needs just now
mope than anything else is to build
up the rural districts so that the people
may be induced to remain on the
farm. This talk of overproduction
has nothing to it. There are peoples
in the world starving for the lack of
food and freezing for the lack of
clothing. We can produce both, and
the thing to do is to get the market,
and it can be had. Every dollar put
in the betterment of the rural schools
helps to build up the rural community.
The legislators should consider
this need first. And we believe they
Will.
DOES IT PAY? *
We notice from an Atlanta news
item that Frank Bipkie wants to
know if it pays to be a hero. That
all depends, Brokie. He was in the
thickest of the fray at San Juan Hill
when the shot were flying thickest
and with Villa when there was hot
- fighting. He was at Ypres when 1,000
men charged the German line
and only 200 came out alive, and
some of them with shrapnel in their
things in place of the hip bone which
nature placed there, and he went
through many other daring scrimmages
for his country, and now he
finds himself drawing only $io per
week as an elevator^boy in one of
the high buildings of Atlanta, and
worst of all in debt to the tune of
$120 and no way to pay it and live, j
It is too true, Brokie, that the,
country too soon forgets those who
really served- and only'the ones that;
were away back just in sweet sound,1
of the shell rcccive the honors and
emoluments, but, Brokie, you have
your reward in the knowledge of
service well done for your country
and your time will come. You probably
think this is an ungrateful old
world and many times some more of
us think so too, and -it does look that
way very much to the fellow who
goes along and does his duty and
then has to suffer the ingratitude of 1
his fellows and those whom he really
helped and saved. - 1
But, Brokie, you should be glad 1
and grateful- that you were number-1
ed among the two hundred who came
back from Ypres alive and that you
are now able to earn even $15 per
week, and that you are enjoying fairlv
o-nnr? health and that you are
-w O""
handsome.
It is not such a bad old world j
after all, and we have much to be
thankful for. Moneyt and honor o?
your fellows, and the applause of the
multitude, do not compensate for the
consciousness of having done your
part in the service of your fellowman.
And after all the really and
truly successful life is the one that is
fullest of service to make the world
better.
Yes, Brokie, it pays to be a hero, i
That's a fine statement of the Na-'
tional Bank. The deposits are be- j
yond the two million mark and the
loans and discounts over half million.
And the surplus is climbing right up.
And look at the cash. There is money
in the land yet and the National b
helping the farmer in this crisis^

will all cooperate and pull together
and stop the cry of distress we will
come through safe and sound. But
there must be cooperation and a
spirit of bear and forbear and of;
he'lping the fellow who needs it ana;
is doing his best to help himself. The j
man who does not try to help himself i

! In what I had to say in the last j
issue about the Vaughnville colored j
: school and fair I omitted to mention
the excellent dinner they served Mr. j

They had some fine barbecu^ hash'

i It was nicely cooked and served to us '
in good style and was very much enjoyed.
You know riding through the j
wind on a fine Ncvember day such as j
we have had recently, with the wind
crisp and bracing, it is calculated to

Mt. Hebron (Colored).
In the Mt. Hebron school for the
* i 1- J 1 nnrar !
coiorea people uuwu m mc iVn?
part of the county near St. Pauls Lu-1
theran church, the colored folk got!
together some time ago to better'
their school conditions. They bought.
two acrcs of land from the Beden- J
baugh estate and purchased lumber j
and raised some cash and then the!
enterprise stopped for a season, j
Some time ago they decided to revive,
their efforts, and they have commenc-1
ed the house and have the frame j
about up. It is being built in 1
formity to the Rosenwald plans~so as j
i to secure the help which is offered. J
It is to ibe a three room house with a i
big basement which can be used for 1
m/vvlr if lC infpnHpH to
MIU[i nwiR| niii^ii iv iu __ conduct
along with the school. The !
! colored folk here have raised about!
$2,000 in lumber and cash and ma-:
terial, and Mr. J. B. Felton, who visited
the school with me some time {
ago, promises aid from the Rosen- i
wald fund, and with the help of the
state and county they will fiave a
school building that would be a
credit to any community. |
I This school is a consolidated school
for the colored folk of the Jolly i

?portion of Midway which was former- J
| ly Excelsior. The enrolment will be j
about 120. Prof. Verd Peterson, j
agent of the Smith-Hughes fund for
the teaching of agriculture, has J
agreed to take the school over as an \
! agricultural school, and to give aid I
' for its maintenance, and as soon as j
the building is completed there will j
: be two and possibly three teachers, j
Joe C. Bedenbaugh is now teaching;
i the school in a very crowded build-!
i ing. _ " "4 j
I I went down there on Tuesday to,
j meet the trustees of the St. Pauls!
1 and Jolly Street and Midway dis-:
j tricts to come to an agreement as to.
j what aid the district would give the :
school and how much from each, j
I By some misunderstanding as to the ;
day I was to be there, which was in 1
part my fault, only Mr. W. B. Boin-:
! est and Mr. J. Walter Richardson of ;
the Jolly Street .district and Mr. T. j
A. Epting of the St, Pauls district j
1 i
tvere present. Of course, nothing:!
?ould be done. We decided to make v
another effort to get a meeting at the ;
school house next Wednesday at 1 j
D'clock. I will write all the trustees j
jf the three districts to meet me j
there, and I hope they will make an j
effort to be present, because it is im-J
portant to come to an understanding!
so that we may be sure of the federal
aid. The spirit of cooperation of the
colored folk and the willingness to!
be directed by the white folk in their
efforts to better their condition is
fine and I think commendable.
Mr. J. E. Summer kindly offered
to take me on this trip, and Mr. C.
A. Bowman was also of the party.
We drove down by Prosperity and by
Hunter-DcWalt where I made a brief
stop to speak to Mr. Koon, the principal
of this school. We then made
a stop at Walter Richardson's store
and from there to St. Pauls, where I
visited the school for the white people,
taught this year by Mr. F. A.
Bcland. The attendance is not large,
but they are all there every day, Mr.
Boland said, and the work is getting
along nicely. A new one room house
has been built at this place in recent
years and the old building in
which I went to my first school a
few* years ago has been torn down
and moved away. I missed tl^ old
building and was sorry that it had to
go, but in this.age of progrez. thers
is no use .0 keep a bull dir.* vimnly
for its associations and th.'ou h a
sentiment when he denn: ds of Avj
times call for improvement. Tl*e
good of the children of the present
is the thing to be considered, and
not simply keep the build.ng like it
was because we at4ended school there
and our father before us. Many
memories of the days of the long ago
nnd nf the bovs and eirls of that
day rush' upon us whenever we make
a visit in this community. These
are pleasant though tinged with a
touch of sadness, because they are
gone never to return. New names
and new faces >take the places of the
old ones. There are many, changes
that have come about during the last
half century, and we must not think
f-nn mnpVi r?f flip vestervear. but look*
forward to what is to .be done for the
betterment of all of us in the daysj
that are to come. The old spring is
still there and some of the old hickory
trees, but they too are fast disappearing.
,
The old parsonage is giving place
for a new and handsome home for
the pastor, and his family and very
soon this congregation at St. Pauls
T.r;n VioTro .rmo r\f handsomest
VVXil UH I V. ViiV v* V4.w
homes in the county. I am pleased
to see the people taking the interesjt
in these matters that they are, because
they mean much for the betterment
of the community in which
they live, and will mean much more
in causing their children . to settle
near the old home and help to make
it even a better community.
.
We then drove over to the colored
school, and the colored folk had
taken thought for our comfort, and
?rn nrora roaHv t.n
aUUUU UIC I.1111C nc nv-ifc ivuuj - ?
leave had spread a [magnificent dinner
for us on the picnic style. """They
had everything you could desire, and
we all.of us enjoyed the dinner. Mr.
Summer and the writer especially
seemed very fond of the cababge and
the manner in whjch it was cooked.
It may seem a little strange that
there should be cabbage at a picnic
dinner, but it was fine and just as
much enjoyed as the chicken dumpling
and the fried chicken and rabbit
and the pies and custards. J. K. Kin-,
ner's wife said she cooked the cab-j
bage and I think Mr. Summer made
especial inquiry as to how it was done
so that he could tell his cook the.
art. When we finished the colored
folk had their dinner of the same
good things to eat. Mr. Summer and,
Mr. Bowman say they are ready to go
with me to any other colored schools
that I may desire to visit. . I love to
have Mr. Summer go, because he,j
like myself, delights in discovering
new territory and looking around the
countryside. So when we came back :
we drove around bv Kiblers Bridge i
and on down to Dr. J. L. Bowers j
home and back into the Columbia
road at Mt. Tabor church. It was
a beautiful d^y, and though the trustees
did not come, and I could not do
what I went to do, the day was pleasantly
spent. j
I wish that more of the white peo- J
pie would get up the steam and the'
enthusiasm and make the effort that,
these colored folk are doing to bet- i
ter their condition. The opportunity,'
of the white people to do something;
worth while is so much greater that
they could accomplish so much more, j
it would be a great thing for the ru-'
ral communities. These colored
folks show such a spirit of cooperation
and such a willingness to du
what the white folks say, that it is
a pleasure to me to do something 'to
help and encourage. That is the way
it appears to me.. . ]
