And why a nurse in the clinic? WJiv a pmmtv hnnltl-i nrif WVint is it for and what is it expected to do? Why a county health nurse? What is she for? Mr. Mayor Blease, why not abolish the ordinance against the cut out in tovfn? It would be one less law to be violated. And that would cut down the percentage of violation of law. And make us that much larger percentage in the column of law abiding citizens. ?? They tell us that the public road between Newberry and Prosperity is in better condition at present than it has been for a long time, due to the efforts of the citizens who live along the way. The wonder to us has been that the people would have been willing to drive over the road as it was when by a little effort on their part it could have been put in fairly good condition." The^ legislature is prolonging its session beyond the forty days. The papers do not tell us much about what is 'being done and therefore we must conclude that there is not much being done of a public nature. The appropriation bill passed the house as it came from the committee and since it reached the senate we have not heard from it. We did hear , some gentleman say, who was in Columbia, that the opinion there was that it would pass the senate as it left the house with very few if any changes. That is the main question in which the people at present are interested. The Herald and News was delayed one day in the printing of the last issue on account of the affliction in the home of the editor and those who make,the paper, and then when we got about half the edition Off the press we had a break in the big press so that the other portion of the edition was not printed until Saturday morning. We thank our contempor ary for the use of some type in order to be able to make up the paper. Troubles'travel in groups. We thank the community for its big hearted sympathy which has been expressed and manifested in many ways. There are many fine folk in this good community and they have sympathetic s hearts. When you tread the wins press of sorrow it is sweet to have sympathetic friends. Senators Smith and Heflin, according to their statements as published ? in the Congressional Record account for the discrepancies in official sta/ v tistics as to the amount of cotton on hand last July SI through mis!endin~ ' double entries. For instance they point out that under the defective *. mi?ennrl ii-i crafhprincr infor system pm^ucu 1U bv>.u 0 mation as to cotton on hand a census agent will make a round of the warehouses in the locality counting every hale of cotton in sight, and when that cotton is shipped to another warehouse in territory of another agent it is counted again, making it appear that there are two thousand bales where as a matter of fact there is only one. It is because of this kind of procedure that the statistics make i4. there were five million It a^/p^ux vtiMv bales of cotton on hand last "July 31 when by no possibility, according to the export and consumption figures, there could have been as much as a million bales. The question raised is of tremendous importance not only to the cotton growers but the cotton consuming world at large. If it is a fact that there were five million bales of cotton on hand last July, and ths farmers raised only a half crop this year, there will be a cotton famine next year. Whatever the truth of - the matter, the sensible thing for the farmers is not to think of raising anymore cotton until they have made ample provision for raising everything necessary that they can raise in the way of foodstuffs and supplies that ? ??"1J tioirn f-ft hllV lliey wuuiu uuici viidc UH> v ?v ~ ?j i whether cotton is worth 50 cents a pound or 5 cents a pound.?Yorkville Enquirer. This is exactly the doctrine Tho Herald and News has preached for the past thirty years. First raise all the food you need and then raise all the coton you can, and that you will be able to call your own at the end of *.he season, regardless of the Drice.

I ^ . I ( | ^ ^ ; r ' ?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS ? i* ?i; J I regret that I have been unable j ^ I to get away from the house for the ' I 1 i past several days, in fact for the last |1 - i t , two weeks, 1 nave oeen 01 necessuy : .kept close at home. I stated the last je ! time I wrote these notes that I felt i * ! the danger was o*er and that I would | | be able to begin my rounds again j* : very soon. But, alas, how little* we jc ; know of What is going to be, and how i * ; futile are all the plans of man. !s i I Jl I; J I have stated before that in some j* t i i j of the districts we are depending on 1 # ! the legislature to run the schools and j' jwe are kept waiting until the ad-i journment of that body to know just! !where we are at. Of course we do, - % ? t 1 i* _ * 1 1 ^ ; not expect to see the legislature iaii j I to keep the faith, but nothing is cer-1 tain until it is done. I hope the1 teachers and the trustees in these;1 i districts will not lose the school spir- j it, because I am satisfied the money.1 I promised by the state will be given,! i but it is impossible and contrary to 1 j the law for me to anticipate the ac-, * ! tion of that body by approving claims J until the money is actually in hand.: 1 i T Hen're to see the enrollment and the ? average attendance kept up so that | ^ when we make our application for! | the aid it will not be necessary to i make any explanations, but simply let the record speak for itself. i ! t nntivo tvint. in Anderson countv j Mrs. J. R. Vandiver is writing a series {of local history articles for the' schools, and that Mr. Goodgion is 'being commended for having the teaching of local history emphasized. It is right and proper and just what I have been talking and recommending for many years, and what I did 1 ^ T ltnl/1 A A"f CllTl_ long DtJiw-ie A uciu tuc uiuvt vx erintendent of education. In fact in my visits to the schools the present school year I have said something about the importance of the teach2r : telling of the local history of the community and getting the pupils inter-! ested in it, and at several of the schools I have asked the pupils if they could, tell me why the school bore the name it did, and from that tried to emphasize the importance of knowing something of our own history, and the very great" importance of the I' j teachers themselves taking up the j. ! matter and giving at least a period a week to the study of the history of their own community. It has Ion? been a notion of mine that we should give more attention to the $tudy cf our own history, and espeically the history of our state and county. To stimulate the study of the history cf Newberry county, some years ago when I was superintendent of education, I bought a copy of the Annals of Newberry for each school district, : in the county and had one put in ev- j ery school library where there was a, library, and left a sufficient number in the office to supply one for each: coVionl 5?<i tVip lihrarv was installed.! ,1 have asked at each school ihat I; I have visited where there is a library i i i about this book, but do not recall to: = have seen but one or two conies, most ' I j of the libraries not having any copies; at all. The book can not now bo ot>-: i , tained. I bought these at one dollar j each. They are now selling for fourj dollars each'and can not be obtained; i even at that price, so it would have j J been a good investment even if the1 i book had not been valuable for the i I i library. What has become of the! i books I do not know. In this connection I am going to j print from the Greenville Piedmont j I the following editorial which is' j brought forth because of the work of! ' i j Mrs. Vandiver and Mr. Goodgion in j i A nr?pr<?nn rountv. Mav be there are j 'some of the women's organizations jl , in Newberry that will undertake the | j writing of local history sketches, and , j if so The Herald and News I know | will be glad to print them in this or some other column, and I will enI deavor to get the teachers and the i children interested in the study of | j them. It would be a good work for; I some of the clubs and no doubt there j i are several of the members who are j competent to make these sketches | i interesting and readable. They should j be written in such style as to attract j the child mind, and then with the! j help of the teacher they would stimu-J ? mI i i i n in mi i ate a study of our own history. You enow it is sa.Vl that South Carolina las been too busy making history to vrite it. Local History in the Schools Good for C. S. Goodgion, superinendent of education in Anderson :ounty! He has prevailed upon Mrs. f. R. Vandiver of Anderson to write a eries of sketches of the early history of that county for use in the fifth rrade in the country schools and for rcneral reading. The Greenwood Index-Journal declares that this is an excellent idea md calls upon the Greenwood chap or of the Daughters of the Kevoiu;ion to have a similar plan adopted 'or Greenwood county. The history of every South Caroina county should be compiled and aught in its schools. Practically eviry county in the state has an interisting and instructive record. The Piedmont wishes that a brief listory of Greenville county could be rompiled, published and used in all ;he schools of this city and county. It ihculd comprise not only the story ot ;he past but a survey of the present, ;o that every school pupil would be icquainted with the resources and issets of the city and county. The average youngster imagines ;hat all the Indians, the buiFuloes, ;he wolves, the panthers and other ivild things belonged only to the Wild tVe.ct, when, as a mater of fact, there kvas a time when Greenville county vas full of them. It is high time that we should writs md study our own local history. In fact so far as I have been able ;o observe we have really no good school history of South Carolina at present being taught in the public schools. A great deal depends upon ;he teacher in presenting to the pupil Otway and T. E. solved partnershi in Photo and P Salter buying ii interest. I Yon urill (-ir?rl T F M.
