We hope that all the readers
this paper will .read the letter

perially would be glad to have

those who seem to think that
world is going to pieces ana who
all the while finding: fault and
who have good health and so

that is good in life and writes
cheering and cheerful letter li

The State man was impressed v
the gorgeous sunset on last Fri
evening so much so that he wi
about it in the newspaper the r

several others speak of it and it

a glow Tfiat was oeauuiui uziu m
ing to behold. But what we war
* to say is that the sun rise the r
morning was just as gorgeous
beautiful, and those who arose
jtfme to view the beautiful glow
the east had just as fine a pictun
the sunset of the day before, x
we would like to add that so m
of us lose the finest part of the

over the eastern horizon. That
a brilliant sun rise . on Satur
morning. A sun rise worth ris
efcrly enough to see, and we h
many that are sufficiently beaut
to rise in time "to look upon.
* We have read with a great dea
interest an editorial in The State
Monday on the comparison of co
, tions in two adjoining counties
conditions in the world. Of coi
tfefc comparison is made for the j
pose of drawing a lesson and it
yery plain to. see the lesson.
"We have ^produced the food

All we want to say is what
have said before, that in our opii
there has been no overproductior
either cotton or food, and the tf
that should concern us is not
s. , proposition to reduce production,
to get this food and clothing to
starving and freezing millions of
f world. Andjt does seem to us J
in this day when the whole worl
close together and transportatioi
easy and 'the worl^ needs what

And we believe that is going to
done and soon business will re1
and instead of a feeling of "bli
- tfcere will be a spirit of optimi
This is too big a world and we are
too close tpgether now for any i
of it to suffer from overproduce
while the other half is starving.
Cooperation and a spirit of h
fulness is what we need in world
? fairs as well as in the affairs of
small community, and it is the t\
that will solve the problem.
The letter of T. J. W. on the p
ent conditions is very interesting,
we can not help saying that when
makes up his estimate of the cosl
making this crop the only thing
sane and wise farmer should h
had to buy in the list he mention
the nitrate and the labor. There
no sane good judgment of any fa
er in this section of the country b
ing corn and flour and hams
bacon and hay, and he could e
raise the greater number of
mules he would need on the fa
. And so long as the farmer of N
berry county expects to farm and
to luy the things here mentioned
will never make any money w(
while, it matters very little what
price of cotton may be, and
farmer who grows what he needs
the farm, he will make some mo
and have some it matters not v
the price.of cotton may be. This
great country we have down here
we can grow just what we need \
and then it is ours. Why we he
a man remark the other day 1
there was not sufficient food in
county of Newberry to feed the j
pit until next March unless it
shipped in. ,
, We hope that T. J. W. and all
farmers took a peep at the comir
ity fair last week, and that they
looked especially at the exhibit tl"

and The Baptists are going to use
the! some of the seventy-five million whicr
are they have raised in the developmrnl

day! . What we need now most in out
otc i educational development is a goo<
lext! high school within reach of every boj
of j and girl so that no child in the stale
n it I would be denied the advantage of c

was! not'well fo: the proper educational

ited j these high schools should be locatcc
text I in the towns, and cities. In fact i1
and [would be a decided disadvantage foi
in!them to be so located. The greal
in need is the building of high schooh
i as in the rural districts. And thaj i<
\nd what the Baptists arc doing to z
any large extent. We should have ir

day is knocking at the door and if we ex

iave and develop we are sleeping on oui

work very much longer. Th(

lity.jso the teacher and the trustees wen
be j all anxious to get in the new build
nv-1 ing as soon as possible. A numbci
ies | of the patrons and friends of th:
'sn-| school gathered for [he auspicious
1 all 1 < vent. It does mean a whole lot U
>ai"t I the community, much more than tflu
tion?most ardent .of the friends of th<
* ! school can realize. A good schoo
dp-1 and a good community center can noi
j be estimated in the good that thej
the j Wiii do.-. Mrs. W. M/ Buford has
lir.g I been teaching in the old negro hour*
waiting for the new building. Sh(
had over 40 children in this little
res- crowded T.ouse, and now in the new
but building it is expected that the en
r he | rolment will be beyond 50. The trus
t of tees have employed an assistant ir
the the person of Miss Wise, a teachei
ave of experience. The building is oi
s is the state approved plan with twc
is large class rooms and cloak room;
rm- and work room and teachers' rooms
>uv- j and is most excellently constructed
and j the work being done by Mr. W. B

rm. j pastor of the Bush River Baptisl
e\v-1 church, read the first Psalm and th<
has, children sang "Praise God Froir
. he j Whom All Blessing Flow," and ther
>rth 11 made a talk to the children and the
the i patrons present. Mr. Burriss made z
the ] most helpful talk. When we get the

is a justly proud of what they have done
and TKe building is on the main publie
lere road not far from the Bush Rivei
tard church, and the grounds contain foui
:hat acres of land and a right of way to i
the spring not far away from which the
)eo- water supply will come. The district
was in addition to voting a bond issue o1
$2,400 for the building, has an eighl

M waive that on account, of delay in
Ij getting the building ready in time
* for the opening. The trustees,
i Messrs F. M. Sattcrwhite, (<. (i. John'
son and L. C. Singlcy, have been j
i very active and untiring in their ef-1
r forts ,to build up a good school in;
the community, and deserve much j
i u-rndit and should have the thanks I
and appreciation of the people of the;
, 1 entire district, but it is bandy pas-,

will condemn them for their activity,!

11 other building'very nearly like thisjj
[j one going up in the adjoining district j j

11 part of Rcederville was annexed to'

Rutherford.
' On Tuesday morning: Mr. Counts j
* still acted as assistant and drove me ;
5 down to" Rutherford. The weather j;
1 was threatening and the roads were
' muddy and .traveling was not alto- j
1 gether pleasant, but I had arranged j
i'to make the trip and we made it. No'
rinoticc had been given of our coming
and therefore there were not any of,
r the patrons present, but I had a I
r very pleasant visit to the school. The!
school is taught by Miss Marie Seasej
; and Miss Roberta Lominack, and thej
> work is getting along very nicely, i
1 This school is a rural graded schoolj
5 and will be able to get the necessary
- enrolment and average attendance.
> In fact this is one of the very first,
1 if not the first, rural schools in New
berry county to vote a special tax
j and establish a good rural school and
1 away back some 25 or 30 ytfer^ ago !
t Mr. Thomas W. Keitt taught it, and
/ had. an assistant, and at the time it
) was one of the best rurfcl schools in
/ the state and ha-d not only a special
t tax but was a special school district. ,
It: would be well for' the people of'
this community to put up a morel

> From Rutherford we drove on r
; j down to Presslcy some four miles to-:
11 ward Broad river. 1 went through
I; some roads in going to this school;
11 over which I had never traveled -be-1
r; fore. In fact I had never been right j
;! in the Graham community and I was j
i surprised and pleased to" see howi
; many families live in sight of each i
other in this section of the county, j
t j But they do need some roads in here, j
- The road is narrow and thon it is
- rough and I really do not see how'
1 these people are able to get over the j
c roads when the winter rains come j
Ejand the ditches get any bigger. The j
>1 bridges over the creeks and drains
> are in bad condition and in fact -you
> would scarcely call them roads at all.
, We managed to get to the school
. housje, but there is certainly a press-j
- ing need in this section that some-1
i body do something for the public j
; roads. It was my first trip to thisj
i school. It is a one teacher school j
i taught this session by Miss Evaj
1 Shealy. There are some 25 or 30 ,
i child-en on the roll and the patrons j
ii seem to like the teacher, and that!
i is well. She can then do better work!
; when she has the support and co-!
- operation of the patrons of the school.
i I had sent notice that I would be at
. j the school on this day, but on ac:
j count of the incelement weather the
* people seemed o have the idea that
r I would not come. From the school
i house I drove on down to Mr. R. G.
; Ringer's -where we had a good dinner.
, This was through some section over
: which I had never been. The roads
t did not improve and neither did
; they get any better until we got over
. to Mr. J. E. Adams and then there
t was some better traveling. Pressleyj

Hope and Zion have recently consolidated
but have not yet locatecKthe
site for the consolidated district, and
have made' no" Cteps toward buitffTng.
I was just wondering if Some arrange
ment could not be made whereby
Pressley could join in this consolidation
and the three districts would
Kr? lororp pnouch to establish a
worth while echool, and if gome of
the remote corners would be too far
they might be cut oil" into some other
districts. { would he glad to have,
the people to beirm thinking along
this line and we will try to have a
meeting down that side some time
soon when we can talk the situation
over and determine what is best to
be done. These matters are at last
for the people themselves to decide.
1 can only suggest what seems to me
to be best and if the people thems^lveK
decide otherwise, then it is
their affair and I will not have any
quarrel with them about it. But
there is pressing need that something
be done right soon.. The New Hope
Zion school is being taught this session
in the Zion school house and
that makes it very inconvenient for
a frood many of the children of the
combined district. We had a fine
trip and reached home about dark.
Teachers Association.
The teachers association will meet
at the high school building Newberry
on Saturday 18th. An address will
be madtf by Mr. Leuco Gunter. I am
going to invite * Superintendent
Swearingen to be with us but^ do not
knew yet if he can. Will give notice
as soon as I can hear from him. I
am going to send a special request to
the trustees to meet here at the same
time and I want Mr. Swearingen to
address them and he can give them in
formation about the various laws relating
to the schools and to their duties
which will be valuable to all of
them. But even if he can not come I
desire to have a meeting with the
trustees to talk over state aid and
other matters pertaining to the
schools. I should have had this meeting
earlier but I wanted first to get
a little more familiar with the schools
myself before having the meeting
with the trustees.
