She Jerali! unD jftm ( tWMi at the Postof&ce at NcwHrt, 9. C.? ?i 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, October 11, 1921. A POINTER The folloowing note from an advertising agent who has been sending quite a lot of business to The Herald and News. In sending the change of copy for a large advertisement the following note is aaaea oy me agent: "Note: This advertiser has reduced the.number of papers he is using and continues your paper because it brings results. Just wanted you to know your advertising pulls." We simply throw this out as a pointer to those who have wares they want to sell, and the way to do it is to let the buying public know they have 'em, and the way to do that is to place your ads in a paper that "pulls." And The Herald and News is that paper. '1t1 - am AT *. i 116 cIWIUI Ct^dCtUil/ U Li. JJ1.L. ts V/ llilOj aged merchant of Newberry county, and his wife, by negaoes as reported, ? convinces us that crime is on the increase among 1; people despite r.ll the preachers and leaders can do. We who dare to advise and train our young people must be stressing the Throng points. Probably we put too much stress on the other man's wrongs and our desires to cope with him to unfold and study our own wrongs and woeful condition. Surely we put too much stress on shouting and weeping over the expected glo rioc nf heaven, and the sanctified humbugs of earth to take time to tell the whole truth and real condition of our people. The above is from Light, a negro l*ap<er. published in Columbia. It is very true, as the editor says, that what the negro needs is to be taught and told the truth, and what is best for him to do so long as he continues to live in this country. He should be told the truth in all frankness and candor and to understand the true QYIcf V| } (5' *+?) rClttblUUd tuat/ XUWOW V-vaov live ?ere in peace. There is a duty here for the white people to take a little more concern in giving the negro ihe right sort of education and training. THE COLUMBIA ROAD We drove through the country Li:;t Tuesday to attend the conference of county superintendents. May be some one would be interested in the condition of the roads. From Newberry to Chapin the road is all right, except for the many rocks that are in it from Midway school almost, it seemed, all the way to Chapin. It hurts us to drive over them, and we have often thought if there could be used a .big roller on these rocks so as to fasten them in the dirt they would then make a good road bed, but as they are, somehow we always feel that we would about as soon have a little rough road as so many rocks. An^ tVipri nart of it needs attention, or it will soon be washed in holes. This part has been taken over by the state highway commission. i * i From Chapin they told us we woul I shave to take the old road by Spring Hill. This has been worked by the Lexington chain gang and is better than when we were over it last, but needs something vet. From Wateree 4 * creek on to Columbia the road has r.ot been worked recently, and is not as good as it once was. and it is not being worked for the reason that Richland now has a force at work on the paving, and we were told that possibly, the paving would stop at Ballentir.e as there was an injunction to prevent the road detouring there to meet the new road that has been built by Lexington county down to Hilton, and that possibly Richland would build two roads, one to Wat'eree creek and the otfner to Hilton, and make them both top soil roads in order to satisfy the Spring Hill folk who object to the road leaving Spring Kill. Oust after you leave the second school hou?e below Spring Hill, about fifteen miles out from Columbia, you have to detour and come back into the f.ftlnmSifl rend at the 11 mile po?>t, or what I used to know as the Loriek place. This detour is a little over three miles and the road is fairly good but narrow. At the Loriek place I picked up a man who wanted to go to Columbia, and he said he was with the force that is building- the new road, but wanted to get into town as he had been sick. He said that the paving or the making of the cement road and the laying of the cement had begun, and that one and a half miles had been put down, and this was in the part tnat we hail to detour. i M I ^ j sc j Work is also being: done on the hill c< 1 this side of the Broad river bridge. a1 The road bed is being changed alto- hi :gether and you come straight up the;tc ; hill from the river and then around ai iso as to save so much digging of cuts. :g: i The dirt that is being taken out is pi I hauled across the bridge where a fill 01 | is being made out to the railroad sc track so as to make an overhead cross- ai ing instead of the grade crossing. And o1 just beyond the railroad a fill is being cc made and that rise beyond the rail- in road is being taken down. When sp Richland finishes the job we will have oi a fine road all the way to Columbia, tv The gentleman who took passage with to me to Columbia said it would take ec at least a year to finish the road. But al it will be worth while to wait in pa- cr tience when you know that by wait- sc ing you will have a real road. When oi the winter rains begin travel this fii way to Columbia will be cut out oy en the condition of the road, at least th until the new road is opened. er ! E. H.

I invited Pas- , % or tor Freed to go along with me and Dr. Derrick was to be there, but owing to the absence of some member of the ^ IS faculty from the campus he could not, much to his regret, get away. We left Newberry at 7 o'clock in the m morning so that we might get back in time 10 go to a similar opening at Bethel-Garmany. The driving down to Jelly Street was fine, the roads good. Rev. S. P. Koon is the principal and he is assisted by Mrs. Bessie Richardson and Mrs. W. B. Boinest, 1 Jr. Miss Olive Richardson who was to teach having decided to get married,; sent in her resignation. These are the same teachers who taught the srhnol the Dast session. There were quite a number of the patror.s and friends of the school present . and about 75 children for the first day,' which is a good enrolment. Mr. Koon ' conducted britff reV'jious ex;rcises and then talks were made by mo and Pastor Freed which seemed to be en- ! joyed and appreciated by the people present.. This is a weak district fin- | ancially, but strong in children. And j now for several years by the aid of j the state they have been able to i maintain a fine school. And the school spirit has been and is still J good. The school has done a sreat deal for the betterment of the community and the pity is the district can not be enlarged so as to increase the finon/?io1 c+roriOfth u C WpII as thr> nilti Aiiianviai v?vx ?? v** ?..? ber of children. The school has boon j able to make the seven norths since the adoption of the equaling law, i and did so the past session with only , a small deficit, but ander this act and its application by the state depart- J ment it is impossible to avoid a ('pficit unless some other source of mccrie; is provided, because there is a cor la in | amount of incidentals that ar.j r.eecs- J sary and then it never happens that: all of the special tax that is chirged ' is collected. But the collection was so close to the amount ':har^ed in this' *" county that the deficit from this source is negligible. i i Frorp Jolly Street we drove back by j the Newberry road in order to get to J Bethel-Garmany by* a highway, and, we reached there about on schedule j at 10:30 and found quite a number: of the patrons and friends of the j school present, and the children as; happy as could be and glad that school was to start again. This is a fine' school and a fine community and the schoool spirit runs high, and the pco-j pie take a great interest in their school. Then there is a live improvement association here that does things, and wherever you find a live organization of this kind you are go-| ing to find a fine school spirit and aj* good school, for you can not have a j good school unless you have the good! school spirit. At the public exercises' at Bethel-Garmany Mr. B. B. Leitz-j sey presided and prayer was offered j by Dr. Freed, and then Dr. W. C. j Brown made a short talk recalling the) history of the old Mt. Bethel, and taiks were made by Dr. Freed and j E. H. Aull and Prof. 0. B. Cannon. I The school starts en well witn .miss Mattie Cromer and Miss Mary Brown two of the teachers the past year, and Miss Mary Wheeler. On Tuesday morning- 1 drove out to Reederville and took along: Dr. J. L. Daniel of the Central Methodist church. We reached the school around 8 o'clock so that I might get back in time to reach Columbia for the conference called by Mr. Swearing en. A number of the patrons and friends of the school were present and we had a good meeting and the children and all the folk seemed happy at the bright prospect for a good school here this session, with i\v.> teachers. I 4 \ r [iss Irene Workman taught the hool last year and had a venv sue- < .'ssfu! session, taking into consider- v :ion that we were buJiding a new rJ ;>use. Dr. Daniel and myself talked > the children and Mr. I. 3"!. Smith I 1(1 Mr. ,J. A. l/avis 01 lie uusu-i-.i < ive word? of encouragement and t ."omises of cooperation. The folk ? .it here are very proud of their i hool and of the new school house, t id it is one of the neatest and best v ' the two teachers schools in the , ( >unty. and every one is interested j t the success of the school and that J fi" ells success. The trouble with some-jc ? these schools that are trying out; (' ;*o teachers is to have the children ju ' comply with the provisions of the f lualizing law as to enrolment, to be;s )le to secure state aid. And the lo-! c '.1 income is not sufficient to run the jp 1 1 J.1? 111 nooi me st'vni mwiuui c.vmvltside aid. If wc could get over the'rst year we would be all right, be-! n iu?e r ">mehow a good school brings | y e children. But there must be an jo irolment of not less than 25 to the'p acher and an average attendance !t ich month of not less than 15 to it ich teacher. , i !o Tuesday I went to Columbia j*1, rough the country to attend a con-js irence called by Mr. Svvearingen. j - was a jrood conference and l just)1 ally found out how little I knew!a )out the schools of the state. They!c y it is a ?ood thin? to find out that;^ >u do not know anything, and that it;1 the first rten to knowledge. Weil, j ^ never did feci that I knew very s uch, but thought I did know a little.

Cooper made a talk and sai hat we would have to get some ne1 vstem of raising revenue besides th ?ld antiquated one of a straight proj Tty tax. That a.ll the states of th mion had adopted different measure or the raising of revenue.

The time for start iner the eompul-i5 ,1 I ! ( jsory attendance is left with the trus- ; tees of each district. I think it should * l~ j be uniform in the county at least, but under the law each board can fix the ^ 1 time so long as it is fixed for 80 con-| ' kV i secutive days. The copy of the act (< 0 i is printed in the back of each school * |register and I hope every teacher will, < e i read it and familiarize himself or j!S j herself with its provisions. And I f e have a number of copies of a little ,1 3 j pamphlet containing information for ^ J e trustees and teachers in regard to the 1 ^ I school law which I will be pleased,* ! n jto give or send to any teacher or trusK i tee who would like to have a copy. ^ I It gives tho laws pertaining- to state c s|aid.

Mr. 0 j Swcaringen has mailed a copy to each : j e trustees and I would like for each' [ teacher of the rural schools to get a', d | copy and become familiar with it, and |. >? j understand just what is to be done' ^ 1 in order to get the aid. j t <>! i h 1 ; I am requested to state that the j ' [compulsory attendance will begin in j Trinity district No. 45 on Monday,, ., t , ' j November 14.
