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

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

? AMONG THE SCHOOLS ?
!/ <J i
Teachers Meeting
The teachers held the last meeting
>f the school year at Whiamire on
Jaturady. . 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.

j On motion of President Derrick a:
vote of thanks, was extended to the i
people of Whitmire and the Glen-1

' meeting which they had made pes-'

President Derrick and he made a most
excellent talk. Talks were also made
by Mr. Z. F. Wright who admitted <'
that he was out on pleasure bent and
some other things that accompany
such a journey and was not present \
; for the purpose of making speeches.1
- Mis* Fnrish t hpn was called on and I
responded graciously and the meet-,ing
adjourned, all feeling that it'
would be well to- have another meeting
at this fine place. 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-:

to attend this examination because I :
want all teachers in the county the!1
coming year to hold first grade cer- j1
tificates and it seems to me that no:'
teacher would be satisfied to continue
to teach without making ""the eff-:'
ort to secure a first grade certificate 1
in the event she deos not hold one at <
present. 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

time and we will see vhat we can do. I
It will be an afternoon met+;n:r as I

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,

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.

and all contributions received by him
for this cause will be promptly acknowledged.
