Tuesday, May 31, 1921 j ABOUT SPEEDING We notice that the sheriff of Lexington gives warning that the speeders must stop speeding or he will ar-' rest them. Hej^ad just as well pro-, ceed to put his machinery for arrest-! ing folk in operation, because the| speeding is going on just the same i as if he had never put the notice in the paper. And the sign that is to be placed along teh road warning the traveler I what the speed limit is will not be worth much, unless there are a few J arrests and some pretty good fines, and they may act as a good memory, reminder, but we have the speedlustj with us and he or she is going to re- j main so long as cars are made to move at high speed and the roads are pass-j able. .

But simply for the sheriff to put a notice in the papers as to these matters the average driver is not going to pay any attention to the notice. J 0 -Of course he should. We should all j] x be law abiding people, having due re-j' gard for the rights of the other fel-: low as wTell as for ourselves, but un- j, ' fortunately we are not. j We notice that over here in Green-j, ville a driver ran right into a crowd K e. - | and killed an old man and wounded,; several others. The fact is the auto! car is getting to be more deadly than , the fcver ready pistol in the hip pocket. . We will be glad to see the signsj placed along the road, but better place some motorcycle policemen j < along there with authority to make the arrest, and then see that tfie right sort of punishment is administered,;; and have no regard for the person!] who is violating the law, that is to j - S3y let the law operate regardless of favors. Another sign we should like to see 1 is the sign required in the statute 1 gjving direction at the crossing of 1 roads and the fork of roads so that the traveler might know how to go. There is a statute that has been on j ^ the books for many years requiring) this, it was placed there even before j< the days of the automobile. Let us!1 all obey the laws and do unto the i1 other fellow as we would have him do j to us and there will be not so much f trouble. < f 1 -1 J 1 l ire wont Oi Dunum^ ruaus m :\ewberry is moving along fine. The road < to Deadfall has been let and the road on to Chappells. has been built forj] several miles and the road on to Whit* mire is moving along. The contract for the buildirg of the Belfast road as far as the Gibson place and the Pomaria road as far as St. Phillips has been let to the Newell . Contracting company at the same rate per "unit that the work is now being p done, and that is much cheaper than ;' some other contracts have been let in!" other counties for the same class of! work. The Deadfall road is to be complet- j; ed within 100 days and by that timej' the road to Chappells and on to .the river to connect with the Greenwood j1 road will be finished, and then we can ' go right into Greenwood town without even the change of gear. The Caldwell road should be extend- 1 ed on down to the Broad river at some point so that the people down that side would have a road, and th?n we would connect with Fairfield, and the road should be built on down to Pd-j maria town. And there is another] roaxi that should be built along with j the ones selected, and that is the road i from Prosperiy to the steel bridge; tVio That is a verv I V/*Cl UV V1IV ? V I important road for the trade no: only \ of Prosperity but for Newberry as1 well. Of course we take it that the; road will be built while we are at it. j Well we are going just as fast as the i money will permit and we know that Chairman Boulware is doing the best1 that he can. We would like-to see; ' 1 X - ^ +U/\f" A V A O / ] C f U V? V\ /\ i tne mamienancf yi mwc iuauo uu iu ^ . back to the highway commission. Xo ' use for us to pay some outsirl- part es; to look after our own affairs, because! 9 we are confident that we can do the I job just a little better than it can i>e n: done by the outside person who has no f( peculiar interest in our affairs. Mr. Mayor Blease and Aldermen, while you are at it why not let the people vote some bonds and pave some more streets. The people evidently want the paving .extended from the way the petitions are neing signed to have the work exten !'\1. It would be better now than to have the |e1 | O' streets torn up at some other time, j And then you should not regard street ^ paving and road building and school ;j buildinc in the same light that you j _ regard taxes for other purposes, be- J ^ cause it is altogether different. Tax- j n es laid for these things is an invest- ^ ment which will pay you good divid- lC dends. And any how the people evi- sc C'l dently want to have the work done or o they would not be asking to have it extended as they have when in addi- ^ tion to paying the tax for the part the 0 town pays on this paving they pay * ' half of'it out of their own pockets. Now is the time to extend the work.' -?? rl r< Woodrow Wilson is right. Writing n in regard to memorial day, which he approves of, of course, as do all of ^ us, he says: "We shall not be happy; ~ we shall not be able to enjoy the full ^ pride of the day's recollections until ' we have made sure that +" duties ^ that grew out of the war ha\ e been fulfilled to the utmost. Are wc sure? ^ If we are not shall we not soon take the steps to do what has been omit- ted?" , tf We are not sure and it is about time we were taking the steps neces- r( sary to make sure that the fighting on our part was not lost. c, o: * D ?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS $ d( !/ <S r( ^ Scholarships ^ The state of South Carolina has . \v provided a number of scholarships ^ at the state institutions which are dis, ai tnbuted amon? the counties. Some , , di days ago I wrote the several state in- ^ stitutions making inquiry as to vacan- ^ cies and any other information in re- ^ erard to them that might.be of interest I r y l to those who might desire to apply. ^ I have replies from Winthrop and ^ Clemson and the Citadel but no an. g1 swer from the university. There is ^ no vacant scholarship at the Citadel ^ and none at Winthrop. The examinaa] tion will be held" for Winthrop just ^ the same as if there were the vacant scholarships and this is for those who ^ desire to enter the college. Presi- dent Jg'hnson writes there are sever- w al state scholarships and it may be Dossible to get one of these and I rc would suggest that if any of the voung ladies of the county would like - m to go to Winthrop that they take the ^ examination and "make themselves ^ eligible. I want to make a correction ^ too as to the date of the examination, !c< that is a correction of a statement i that I may have made. I think I have ^ stated that this examination for , st YVinthrop would be held on the 7th of Julv. It is the first of Julv and I r< hope that any one thinking of taking this examination will bear in mind that the correct date for the examina- ^ tion is July 1. In regard to the vac ancjes at Clemson I am going to print Q the letter in full. The advertisement p ? 1 ? J -F rw f 1 o ni ?r?n tor w ininrop &ihi ivi vtvn?w. ,^ as to these examinations is printed in this paper. Here is the letter in reply to mine from Clemson: j Clemson College, S. C. May 27, 1921. ? Mr. E. H. Aull, p] Supt of Education, j, Newberry, S. C. m Dear Mr. Aull: ^ There will be two four-year schol- ^ arships vacant in Newberry county ^ this coming summer. In addition oi d) there will be one scholarship vacant --U 1 ? ! in our one-year agricultural muiav.

I Illtril ClUllCU OCVClUi V/x utv.ii j -j i the last paper. On Thursday night1 was at Chappells". I asked my friend, lerk of Court Wheeler to go with j te. He did and he was with me at' myrna on Wednesday night. We; ft early in the afternoon Thursday ) that we might have opportunity to : bserve the road and the crops and be ble to drive leisurely. We drove up le Longshore road for two reasons,! ne to see -the road and the other I,J ad promised to go by for the Rev. j1 . H. Key who was to deliver the ad-!' ress that night, but he concluded. T -?vn<; not cominsr and when we 2ach'ed the manse he had gone. The )ad to Longshores is not as good as , might be, but from Longshores to 1 fr. J. A. Burton's place and on to f ittle river is very pood and the j' riving was fine. But from there on ] ) Mr. J. S Dominick's place it is ( ad and I do not see much prospect 1 ' * J i l maKin.u: a roau uul una nay W : Ciiu u i ; ie outlay of a very larjre sum of i loney. That 'is a bad r:ro>sin<c at J ittle river ami the same is true of ' ie crossing at Mudlic, and then there,' re several other bad places in this.' >ad that would cost very much to ake them good. By this road it is. cactly fifteen miles to the residence 1 f Mr. Pominiok. We drove around 1 y the Wells place, now Mr Snowden ominick's, and went into Chappells!1 Dwn the Cross Hill or Vaughnville'; >ad. After you strike this road the ; aveling is fine, but it makes the dis-!1 - - IjC mce to Chappells twenty nines, n e had gone down the straight road :om Mr. Dominick's instead of going ' round the apex of the triangle the ; stance would have been just about 3 miles, the same that it is when 1 ou go the long bridge route. From / < ir. Snowden Dominick's on down to happells " is a fine ridge and a fine f jction an'd "there ar? several fine juntry homes along this way and (! ood farmers. The fact is this is a i' ery fine section of the county and 1 le citizenship is of the highest order, 1 nd I am very glad that it is going to 1 ? nearer to us very soon. When the ' )ad is completed instead of being 1 vo hours from Newbery as it is now )r me it will be only an hour and it! ill be a pleasure t6 drive it. We came back by the long bridge jute and that road is now in very , Dod condition all the way down, I . ean for this road. The new road has , 2en built from the long bridge down ^ ? Silverstreet and I drove over it ost of the way, though it is not yet , jmpleted. This road is being relo- , ited practically all the way from ] " r nni1?ir. 4 happens, irom wnai x tuu^u , and. From the long bridge to Sil- -t *rstreet it does not follow the old i >ad bed at all. ! i i , The exercises at the school on ; ljursday night were for the tenth , rade. The night before the exercis- ( s were held for the primary children. ; ity we do not have sufficient children -j t this district for a high school. here is a handsome brick school . uilding with six class rooms and a', rge auditorium and the taxable', roperty is sufficient with the present ^ cplionl Vmt at , ix to maintain <x ( resent there are not sufficient chil-!. ren. The term this year was nine j :onths. There are three teachers, j [isses Jeanie Simkins, Anabel Saun- , srs and Leila Culbcrth. The work ] lis year has been , very satisfactory . ad the patrons and children are all , loving along harmoniously with the ( jachers. Miss Culberth will not re-'] irn to the school as she is to be mar- ( ed very soon, but Misses Simkins 1 4 * , ' nd Saunders will return. The exer- , # A - J * ises on Thursday evening consisted 1 f a short paper by each of the four . oung ladies completing the tenth ^ rade, an address by Rev. A. H. Key ( nd the presentation of the certifi- ( ates by Hon S. McG. Simkins. It as very fitting and appropriate for , [r Simkins to deliver the certificates. ( p j.i. _ -..InAlnol anrl .c is the father 01 me . len this is his old home and he did , le job mighty well. His brief ad- 1 ress was well spoken and eloquent. , was glad to see Mc. again and to ( ?e him looking ?o well and to learn', lat he is doing well in his adopted i ome of Edgefield. At the request of . [rs. A. P Coleman I presented a j. ledal which she gives to that pupil < ho excels in three very important , lin2'S in connection with school work, j Ixcell^nce in attendance, conduct,' I J nd studies, and the prize was won*, y Miss Jessie Fellers. And you could1, ?e the good influence of this prize 1 the behavior of the pupils on "hursday night. I never saw better onduct in any audience at any time . inn thoiv \vn? at ChaopHls on Thurs-' i ? L day evening, and it was a real pleas- f Lire to talk to the people. You know j it is on the road home, and I felt like ' I wanted to go on when I got there i 3n Thursday, but the past week was a | strenuous one for me and I had to' return the same night. And in the ; face of a number of very cordial J invitations to spend the night with Lhese good people. I appreciate their! kind hospitality and sorry I could not, spend more time with them, but when I the schools all get closed I am going jj up that side, especially about the time; :he peaches are ripe at Mr. A. P.! Coleman's. Little Mountain It is always a pleasure to go to. Little Mountain, because I feel that: I am going back home and among the scenes of my boyhood days, and the people whom I have known so weli | from my youth up, and then they have the right sort of school spirit down there. In a small district with very little taxable property and not; ovoo fVioTr V>?ivn mnintninori OU lUUV.il ill VU liMt V ! for a number of years a very fine J high school, and Mr. Swearingen said j the largest percentage of pupils in i the high school department of any, high school in the state. Out of an! enrollment of around 140 there are ; I more than forty in the high school department. I vvas not present at the J other exercises in connection with the J1 closing of this school. The correspondent of The Herald and News has; promised to send an account of the :losing for the paper. ' There was a large class to complete the course j| i _ ?? J I! ana ic is eviuencu uiu? mc mhuui io : keeping up the record for enrollment jj in the high school department. The; address was delivered by State Sup-! erintendent J. E. Swearingen and he j made a great speech and I am sure it will do good. He was very compli-i mentary to the school spirit which has always existed in this community and L*ommended the people for the manner in which they stood by the school. The diplomas were presented by Rev. John J. LOng. Mr Swearingen was introduced by President Derrick of N'ewberry college. He also present- | Dd some prizes which had been given by the trustees. A medal was presented by \Villie Hack Derrick. I presented the medal for the essay which [ have been giving in this school'for several years. The winner this year was Mies Summer. I was driven down with President Derrick in his ?ar. Miss Elisabeth Neel has been ' the very'Jftne principal of the school 1 and has been ably assisted. The trustees have not yet elected the teachers for the coming year. J ? i On Sunday I went to Pine Pleasant j (colored) church to talk to the^colored people about the building of a j school house in the Bethel-Garmany j district. We have the four acres'and j much of the lumber has been sawed ^ for the building. There is a large , enrollment of colored children in this i district and we will build a three room i louse for the school, i nao occn iu j this church before and made a talk ind this time I just wanted to start the movement for the building and the raising of the money. Ti e white trustees were present and Mr. Bur Leitzsey. U. S Gallman the supervisor for colored schools had charge . 3f the meeting and introduced Mr Leitzsey who explained to the colored * 11 ?1?x 1? -... s/vn + A/I r* v>-? fn rln rj T? c\ i OIK Wfiat fit' I'AUCCl/CU IU\.UI WW uv, . I , Mr. Sims Brown,. one of the trustees,! assured them that the white people ivere going to cooperate with them and that he believed that they had ;he best behaved colored folk in that ! district that there were in the county, and then I made a talk. As a result, ; [ am told the cash collection at this time and the work heretofore done which is the same as cash and the money heretofore subscribed and paid amounted to around $400. We will berin the work here soon after the first of July. Gallman had arranged to , have the Newberry Glee club (color-1 2d) to <fo out and sing and I want to tell you they can sing and it is worth your while to drive much further than this school to hear them. Thev; make the kind of music that apepals! co me. I am A'oing to build several colored schools or schools for the; colored people during this year and | fv,nm will be consolidated | \j i uivii* ..... schools, and I trust to have the coop-', oration of the white people so that; the same thing may be done for the!: white schools. Several are needed: but it takes the cooperation of the i people to build them, but with theirj cooperation and what help they can! render the thin? can be done. But: before we start this work and lay the , foundation for a system of schools to ' meet the demands of the times we should have the school district lines more definitely laid out and I hope the 1 1 - ~?.4- ftACtpi An legislature ar ine mcm sc.mium , permit it. We have lost a year because it was not done at the last session. E. H A. I !
