That it was escaping the payment of that portion < for ^he support of the government } which it is right and proper that it . should pay. . ' . ? The committee has gone into the ] matter very extensively and recom- ( wiflnds some radical changes in our ' system and methods of raising reve- [, nue, and they say it is in accordanco j ( with modern methods and up to date T systems, j j There will of necessity have to be i some changes in our methods of s raising revenue, and while the rec- t ommendations of this committee may s not be adopted, it is well to keep up t with what they have to say and be prepared for the changes which must come. We suppose in order to carry s out the program it would be neces- " gary to have a constitutional conven- ^ tion, and that is needed at this time any way. The committee has secured the services of an expert economist and had him to study the tax system of 1 this state, and to make such recom- t mendations as he might deem neces- c sary. The report will be a very * lengthy one, and is beirtg printed in The State from day to day. In order < that th^ readers of The Herald and r News might keep up with the recom- 1 mendations of this special committee ^ we are printing tte report from the State, and while we have not yet a read it there seems to us to be some r very good suggestions in it. All we desire to do at this time is to call it J to the attention of our readers, and i 1 o ask them to read it, so that they j nay be prepared for the changes that j n iy be made in the system of rais- j ng revenue in this state, and to be i tble to keep up with the discussion ; vhen the legislature meets. This j ubject will be the main question be- j ore the' next legislature, because ' >igger appropriations are going to be . lemanded of the next legislature; han of any of its predecessors, and j ome of the big items will be to carry ; i >ut existing laws. Notably the laws I n regard to the rural schools, the j onditions of which laws have been : i net by the people in the increased I axes they have voted for the schools j _ ii- _ i. m tne promise mat 11 uiey uiu uicic i vould be ample state aid to run the ! chools for seven months and to pay i adequate salaries to the teachers. If j he legislature should fail now* ihe; chools of the rural districts would be n a deplorable condition for funds, i We thank Slick Sam for his comdiment, but as to giving him advice | ve are just a little shy.

Better teach his bees not o make their hives in trees down on he roadside, and to keep them in his >wn backyard, and maybe they would iscape the eagle eye of the constable. And then is it not jusl a little [ueer that a good law abiding citi-, en like Slick Sam would take fright it his shadow in a jug of good old rine and imagine it was a constable. * " - - i.. 1 iL.i Sounds like ne may nave visiseu m-tt ug under the barn just a little while efore the sun came peeping over the torizon. ! But to be serious vfe have a long ehile been of the opinion that w*j lad too many laws and too many: egulations, and as a result even the >est of men and the most lawabidin:< imcngst us, violate some one of: hese numerous laws every day and rithout the knowledge that we are awbreakers. It is true that what we call peribnal liberty must, give way to the; general good knd we must try to not j et the one overlap the other. ? We are to a very large extent ourj mother's keeper and you remember ] hat it is written and we are com- j nanded that if eating i^eat make our; >rother to offend we shall eat no; neat, or words to ?hat effect. So if the; . vine does not hurt us, but will hurt; >ur brother, we must do away with-J ;he wine for his sake, but that should; lave nothing to do with the honey ( ' * ? 14 ! n the honeycomo ana we snuiuu ?u. jncourage thfe bees to make more i loney. So Slick Sam we have no advice to j *ive you, because we don't know just j jxactly what you would like to have j ji tfce way of advice. ! In this time of stress we must all j work together and cooperate and j ^elp one another and no one press! ihe fellow who is doing the best he :an to help himself and at the same j time to help you. It will all come] 5ut right.: This is too fine a country j md too fine a people to let a little j thing like hard times' discourage us. j The d#y of a better time will dawn, j We had been going a little too rapidly md living -too fast and the world j leeded a shock/so that the people j night stop long enough to take their J searings and see just where we are I it. The wheels of commerce will segin in their regular course in due ;ime. Sit steady and msko arrange nents to grow plenty to eat ine nexi i fear and not so much cotton.

I found on Friday morning b that I misread the Jetter of Mr. S.! tl J.

I [ .stopped at the Cleveland, a new and'Sj | moderp hotel, but most too rich for a ; ^ contry editor or even a county su- f pj perintendent of education, hgfc Ijjj | manage^ to stand it for one night.! ^ I had written to my friend, Mr. | ^ Sam T. Reid, to engage me a room at j this hotel, and when I arrived the, jc j room was engaged. It is run exclus- 0 ively on the European plan and is up to date in every respect and the ser-lri vice is very good. I found a young! n, Newberry boy as one of the clerks. | ei Mr. J. R. Scurry. There were a good p many of the teachers stopping at this a 'hotel, among them President Johnson of Winthrop and Dr. James P. Kin- e, ard of Winthrop. An expense account of $25 per month when yoG ^ pay $5 per day for a room with no ^ feed will not last many days. It was a delightful corner js room where the sun came peeping in ^ at morn and I was resting well. Buij^ as the superinterfdents were not to 0, meet I decided to. leave in the after- j g nnnn fnr Nlpwhorvv. x: r I attended a meeting of city super-J Is intendents at WoiTord college, and. I a Dutch luncheon at the Cleveland tr [F which I was invited by Miss Mattie tl Lou Gray who is in charge of the F adult illiterate work in the state. I p had never been to Wofford college!a campus but on one occasion when I i is went there to see Dr. Carlisle, and 1} r J ? ? fUvAnrvU 4 tin nrnnn/lu ! t il 2t<IUlI llliuugn iiiv ^ivunu^i | \ The grounds are not so large possibly | ?! as the grounds at Newberry, though! 1 they have more buildings and more j t. professors' houses and a very hand-' v some dormitory and mess hall.

Dr. Dun-! ri can Wallace now lives in the house j tl formerly occupied by Dr. Carlisle. IiG met several of the young men whojtl students and thev were all very ! c< nice and courteous and answered o questions very civilly and pleasantly, p, One young man, Mr. Schumpert from G Newberry, who is a junior this yea. b came up and spoke to me. and I had tl very pleasant chat with him. a ? th( One trouble or difficulty it seemed c0i y me in holding the meeting at a wr lace like Spartanburg,%or any other : an >wn, with the many department ^'r leetings that were being had it was ) locatb the place of the meeting i er? 1 * -ii 1 ? * i? ~ hp: OU ClCSirCCl [O aiienu, cis iiiL* . r, of course,* is not supposed to be *'m cquainted with the location of the SiS arious schools or ha^ls in a city iike partanburg,, or just how to reach it, | &01 nd it seemed to me that the teach-! ^ rs were taking up most of the time! ^ei 1 an effort to find the place where le meeting was being held.

I did not see any of j thi le Newberry teachers at the meet- j wc ig except Mr. G. G. Sale and Mr. j an hos. 0. Sease. Of course there may j tic ave been others present, because I! W2 id not get out very much myself, j lig his meeting was staged' at the i re< rong time of the year. Every one! ha ho can should spend Thanksgiving j wh t home or with the home folk. an sh; Miss Gray's luncheon was a very clc rteresting meeting, and Mr. S. H. i no dmunds presided and he had the an ilks going while th? eating was in bu rogress, and it was really interest- th< tg to hear the teachers tell of the su: ork they did and how they did it, is i the teaching of the adults to read I tei nd write, and then to hear some of! le pupils tell how much they appreiated th- work of these teachers and ab dw much interest they took in the sp; tatted of learning to read and to: a : rite. It is a great work and it is an educing the illiteracy of the state _ ery materially. .1 would like to. sayj ^ ere that I am very willing to coop- j rate in the work, and if there is any' emand for such teaching in this i aunty, either frem the rural districts, r from the towns, I will, be very' luch obliged to hear of it, and 'to; ?e if something-can be done to;or-| t ' ' it- >i_ .. -# ? amzc classes ior me worn. ui. i u-1 am was present at Miss Gray's lun- j iieon and made a brief talk. I am I Drry that I did not get to hear j-the j ? ddress of Dr. Yocum the night be-! :>re. All who heard him spoke in the ! ighest praise' jr>f the address. He joke on "Education for Democacy." A very, timely subject and ne of very gr^at importance. He i rgued that personal privilege ntust; e subservient to the public good, but lat there must be no more surrender f this personal privilege than ier.ab-j ! Cutely necessary to the common j ood. And it must not be carried to i xtremes. - ! i ; ? i I met my friend Judge Sease and ?$nt a very pleasant hour with him j. ilking of old times and other things, j [e drove me around to the home of J >r. Haliman, as I felt that I would j ke to see him while in Spartanburg, i ut the doctor had gone up town, so! missed seeing him. Judge Sease is j >oking fine and is one of the ablest f the circuit judges in the state, and 1 dewberry is p^oud of him and the scord he has made as solicitor and : 5 judge* He will come up for re- j lection for another terra at the ap- j roachir.g session of the legislature ! nd will be reelected without opposi- j on. As he should be. I suggested j Eirly in the present year that he run'; Dr congress the past summer, but he ; id not, and if he had it would have i iken off the bench one of the best | ldges in the state, and I suppose it j . better for the public service that j e remain in his present position. I; id not get to see Cecil Wyche, an- j ther Newberry boy, who is living in partanburg. I was told he was get- j rig along fine and had a fine prac-! ce and ranked among the leading j iwyers at the bar in this live city. | wanted to see my friends John! loyd and P. J. 0. Smith but was told j ]at both were out of town, Mr. loyd on his annual hunt in the lower { art of the state, and Mr. Smith on j contract for building. Spartanburg j i a good town and it has the best j nd'most modern and convenient pas-: inger station of any town in the | ;ate. It is a handsome building and ; ic subway to get to and from the j a ins is a splendid idea as it pre-' ents crossing the tracks in going j rom or to the station. I came back bv way of Greenwood, aving Spartanburg at 3:S0 and ariving at Newberry at 9:30 p. m. By i lis route I had a couple hours in reenwood, and while standing at j le station waiting for the train I: juld not keep hack a train of mem-! nes 01 rne nays truit are kuiic, : * i articularly the time when I went to j reenwood to go. into the newspaper; usiness and open a law office.
