Why a health clinic? Or what
you call it? 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

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.

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_

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

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
