|[|)e Herald unD Jems, j t Catered at the Pcstoffice at New- ^ Spry, S. CM 2nd class matter. < . E. H. AULL, EDITOR. ( Tuesday, May 3, 1921. s T That was a big toll we paid on the new road even before it is complet- t ed. Two deaths at a time is going f pretty fast. i* About the only thing to do is to have a police patrol put on the road . ito save the travelers from themselves, i A.little less reckless driving probably! would have avoided the accident and i saved two lives. The way some of the ! drivers speed up on these good roads j the wonder is that there are so few j i i mi _ ? * I serious ^cciaems. ine same anernoon of this terrible accident we had; c occasion to go to Prosperity and that ^ toad is not yet finished, but the speed- j ( ing of the cars we met made it really r dangerous for even a careful and slow j ' 'driver to travel the road. You look out ahead and you see something' coming and before you can draw* a ( long breath you hear a sound, "zip,";c and when you look again there "ain't |1 nothing" there. It's gone. And the j* state law requires all drivers of cars L to slow down when meeting other, * cars. But who cares about law in ,? this day? Ceratinly not the great ma- * jority of drivers of cars. And many k of them do not even give you a small, - - r part of the road. We do not know * how it is when two of a kind meet one another. r We understand that th# road c builders have rented one of the ware-1 houses from Mr. G. Summer at ? the railroad crossing and will keep 2 their supplies in it. It might be that t the farmers who have corn and hay to s sell, if there be any such, and there 1 should be. could make an arrange- t .ment with these folk to ta?e what- ? ever they might have at the market c price, and in this way it would help a the road builders and at the same fr time give the farmer a market for his i produce and keep a whole lot of the ? bond money right here at home. t It does sometime happen that you c see a farmer's wagon going out of t town loaded with hay and corn. And Y on last Saturday the town was filled c with wagons and a lot of people were c here. Some one said that they had c come to town from the country to s <?o+ i-aiHrtrts and a lot of them went C away with the very things they should a have grown on the farm. And th:s h country will never be proseprous like s it should 'be so long as this custom h continues. You can not grow cotton ' a at present prices and buy the corn 1I and hay and other things you need to, "v live on and make any money. The | farmer who elects to be hard up all the time and worried about what he is going to do may be willing to keep < up that policy but the wise man is _ < going to provide for his own on h'sj i own farm and then grow all the cot-' <? ton he cap regardless of the pricc, and he is the fellow who is going to be happy and have very little worry c . , , 1 ancl not be hard up ana pegging some t . one to furnish him?so that he may rJ make another crop. # ' r ? 11 DYSON AGAIN |F Did you know that there had been t another disastrous fire in the town s of Dyson? Well, there has been ar.J i the greater part of the business dis- c trict has been laid in ashes once more. I didn't know it until Sunday . "v morning. But that beautiful shed ? which does not protect you from el- 1 ther rain or sun escaped destruction : ? this time. While the fire was at it I, f do not see why it did not burn. Then K? may be we could have persuaded the j a railroad to put up such a depot as | s they have at Old Town for instance. > F it The fire occurred at about two 1" mnrninor llist. OT>nfv f V WVViX X lluwj - " "?> J o- ? . I am told, and the big two story j t building of Mr. Lyles, and also the j \ small store which stood in the rear of : s this big- one, were both totally de- . i stroyed by the fire. How the fire or-; p iginated I did not learn. In fact ev- s ery one whom I asked about it said he did not know. I do not knew (z either if there was any insurance on \ the building or the contents, though I suppose of course that there was' z some insurance. Neither did I learn it if Mr. Lyles intended to rebuild,, t though I suppose he will, as he told me the last time that I talked with 1 him that Dyson was a fine business j t place. He was not carrying at this < time a very large stock of goods but J ( that was a large store house that he 1 had at this place and even a tolerably 1 large stock would not make much of < a show in such a large house. 1 1 Dyson is a good business place, < and I want to say again that it is an i outrage against the people who live in 1 that place that the railroad persisent- < ly refuses to build a decent and at ' j least comfortable depot here. And it is i reflection upon the railroad commission that they would permit the railroads to increase rates and not insist hat the railroads at least make it lecently comfortable for the people from whom they make their money ind who patronize the roads. Why i railroad commission any how? What are they for? We invited the commission to come over to Dyson iome time ago, even before they had i ^ i I x. i u.. :i4 ;ne present sneu mat is cut-re uuui, Dut they heeded us not, and we supDose we will meet the same fate this :ime, but we would be mighty glad to *o over that side with the commission md talk to them about this depot that ;he people of Dyson should have. But may be the commission is too )usy increasing telephone and rail-oad rates to take up so important a natter as a little accommodation for ;he people who are called upon to )ay these increased rates. The fact s the people as a rule do not mind raying for anything when they can ret it, but it is a little hard some,imes to keep on having the price in reased and the service decreased. That's where the rub comes. I ran over to Dyson again on Sunlay morning, this time on the train, is the good road we are building is lot yet open for travel. I just made a. >r>p call this time. For the informa,ion of those friends who have been rind enough to inquire I am glad to state that my mother is much imjroved and I found her sitting up. She gains strength slowly but seems :o be gaining surely and I hope she nay soon be entirely well again. Speaking about roads I am inform?d that the road force is now camped >ut on the Chappells road, and that here are several hundred men and ibout as many mules in the camp, md that the work of construction of % his road is to begin this week. It hould not take so long to build it. rhough in many places it will be enirely relocated, and that the en:ineers find it the right thing to cut iown the big shade trees all along Lnd to go in the rear of many of the tomes along the way. That is bad n a way-, but it may be better for the >eople who own the homes not to lave one of these roads right in front f their homes. It will necessitate he keeping up of roads to get to the tomes from the main road, but if we an get a good road in easy reach we an stand a little inconvenience. And ertainly there is great need of some ort of road between Newberry and }happells and also between Newberry ,nd Whitmire. A route to Whitmire 'i ias not been determined, but I under-i land will be at the meeting of the lighway commission early this week, j ind may be beSore this is printed.; Ibout three routes have been sur'eyed to Whitmire. i E.

It was a fine meeting, [here were two or three disappointnents but they could not be helped, j had hoped to have more teachers iresent at the meeting but owing to he fact that a good many of the chools are closing, and in several of hem there were picnics on Saturday,' ?f course we could not expect the eachers from these schools. Then j ve were disappointed in that Mr.' Jwearingen could not be with us. I ?here must have been some misunder-l tanding because I have not heard: Kir*, o+ nil anH hp is alwavs verv IKJUl 111*.. C*v ~ irompt in filling engagements, and I im sure if there were not a misundertanding, or something happened that prevented his coming, he would have >een present. Then we expected to tave Miss Mattie Thomas of the state !epartment of education but she was aken ill while with me during the veek and had to return to Columbia md is now in the hospital, though I mderstand doing very well, and she >romises to finish her visit with me ome time in the future. But we had a fine meeting and the ittendance was very good. And there ~ ? J vere a number ot teaeners ana spiral trustees present and I am sure ill of them enjoyed the meeting and he visit to this fine community and he excellent dinner that was served. The fact is when President Child and vice-President W. M. Sherard and ;he Watsons of the Glen-Lowry mill ind the other good people of this fine community undertake to do any;hing they do it right, because "hey enow how and they never do anything *vrpr>t it be done well. We met in :he handsome school building and a Aarm and cordial address of welcome was extended by Mr. Sherard and every one was in fine spirit and [he day was all that could be expected as to weather and the roads were not near so bad as they have been. Miss Ola Brown's first grade gave \ us some line singing and then there!' I was singing by Miss Leonard's sixth j < grade pupils and President Derrick j; talked about the Newberrv summer i! J 1 school for teachers. And Miss Farish h ,the demonstration worker for the ' county made a talk and asked the co-1 operation of the people generally in I; her work. ^ U Pn ?? a? c-nnL'/i t" V> O J 1 IU1. V_/. JLJ.

Then Mr. Sherard called on President Derrick and he made a most excellent talk. Talks were also made by Mr. Z. F.

In the after-! noon those who could Yemain over were given tickets to the base ball game and were also given a ride over |' I the town. ! ? | I desire to call attention to the ex-: animation for teachers which is to be 1 held at the court house on next Sat-.] urday.

A third grade certificate 1 will not be renewed and permits will t^ not be issued to those holding per-1jl mits this year. A second grade and!1 a first grade certificate may '"be re-1' newed. But if you hold a' second grade certifiacte do not be satisfied,' i with that but come to take the exam- } ination and get a first grade.; j The Jollystreet school will close on ' i Friday and the picnic will be that 1 day. I am arranging to be present. 2 O'Neall will have the picnic on Sat- 1 urday. I accepted an invitation to go ' j to Delmar on that day but I am going 1 by the O'Neall school and spend a little while there and then go on to Delmar. IJ On the afternoon of Friday, May ; 'lo, we are to have a join" picnic at ^ ; the Utopia school grounds with the j Utopia school and Deadfall. We are! going to talk a little sbout building,, a new school for these people and I j have invited Mr. Lewis of the state i department of education an-1 Mr. j< Lueco Gunter to oe witn ui i\i uns; time and we will see vhat we can do.

Jnujuwrn^mmtmrnmrnBtermmhmm Through the results thai have been obtained in a number of cases, thousands of people in the Shenango Valley are becoming convinced of the claim of Dr. W. Thomas Reynolds rector of Trinity Episcopal church, that it is possible to heal the sick, enable the lame to walk and the blind to see through prayer ana the laying on of hands. The prayer circle and healing clinic was established in Trinity church more than a year ago, its fame spreading throughout Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio. Making no claims of personal pow er, and making it plain that it has nothing in common with Christian Science, Dr. Reynolds declares that "it is but the revival of ihe power that has always been in the Christian church since its inception nearly 2,000 years ago. Hundreds of persons are openly testifying to benefits which they say they have received as a result of entering tire healing clinic with faith and prayer. NEWS FRESH FROM THE NEAR EAST RELIEF Mr. Brook Anderson, whose home is in Richmond, Va., and who has been visiting in South Carolina, is just back from the Near jfast. He tells the following: about the work that the Near East relief is doing for the Little children in the Near East. "The work of the Near East relief is hia^nificent," he says. "The workers, women as well as men, arc under fire for months at a time and undergo wartime hardships with equal risks. NTet only do they risk their own lives wihle at their relief work, but many fnnip hnmo broken in health. Among the Near East relief missionaries Mr. Anderson mentioned Mrs. Richard Mansfield, wife of the noted Shakespearean actor. Mrs. Mansfield was under fire for three months near Marash, helping the Armenians, and <he was in charge for a time of the orphanage for Syrian children in Jerusalem during the time Mr. Anderson was in that city. After General Wilie Jones, state chairman fqv Near East relief in South Carolina, had heard the above story, he said he did not See how, any person on $his side of the Atlanta ~ ^>4 i l-ir>lrl V\Qf?lr r>ri crivinfT tic U LC <3.11 LUUiqi uv^iu Kji.4.W. w** & 0 Lheir funds to, such a worthy cause. Haven't we anjvr confidence in these workers that ]VIr- Anderson has just told us about?. ,,If they are willing to *ive up all pleasures and make such i big sacrifice,, are we not willing to ielp them by sending funds and clothing over to tl>?se countries in order that their job^will be made a little easier? South Carolina is asked to care for 2,500 of these little children. It :osus $60.00 tq,feed a child one year. There is yet much to be done before tve have come pp to what is expected sf us. Are we willing to pass this opportunity up and let these kiddies starve, or are .we going to rally to their assistance? My opinion is that Are will not let them suffer for anything that we can give them. Wm. M. Gibbes, Jr., 211 Liberty Bank Bldg., is the state treasurer, and all contributions received by him for this cause will be promptly acknowledged. David M. Senn Dead Laurens Herald, 29th. Mr. David M.
