AWif I ?&* ui^ If*?8* latortd at the FostoESco at N?w"wry, 9. C., as 2nd class matter. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Friday, November 11, 1921. Talking about sacj;walks we did hate to see those big trees cut in McKibben street along by Miss Hornsby's to make way for the paved sidewalk, but even the old landmarks have to give way for the march of modern progress. We cut trees and we urge the planting cf trees, but we should remember that a tree can be cut in much less time than it takes to grow one. The government report on cotton ginned caused a slump in the price, the ginning showing such a gain. But it should be remembered that there is none left in the field and that most of the crop has been ginned, whereas in former years at this time there was efill a verv luro-o nart- thp frfiri fn W7V4.4A W ? VA J V ?** V v* v?*w v *. v gr v? be picked. But anything to push down the price. - The chamber of commerce we see is going to act as a credit association. Well, they may know who is good pay and who is not good pay, but if the merchant who has been in business a long time does not know whom he can trust we do not see how he is to be helped very much by this organization. But then may be most of us need some one to be guardian for us and tell us who can be trusted and who can not be. It is a very difficult proposition that has been undertaken this time. The better plan would be for everything to be on a cash basis, but that has been tried and found impracticable in a community like this. We do not see any sidewilks leading up Boundary street from Caldwell to the Boundary Street school and the . Lutheran church. We thought the effort of city council was to i*ei a good sidewalk leading to each of the schools and to all the churches, but it really makes little difference because when we come to think of it nobody walks any more anywhere. But Ave would like to see this sidewalk to th.s school from Caldwell. Since the above was written and in type, the notice that work has been begun on paving the sidewalk frcm Caldwell street on Boundary to the school and the church. Wfe felt sure we understood Mayor Biease to sry " he was going to make it easy ar.d m comfortable to walk to church and V school. -a? Some one said that under the regulations of the board of health it would be against the law for any of our farmer friends to bring country sau sage anu puuumg <iiiu umn meats in the town for sale, or something like that. We would like ! > know if that is true. We do know ' that some time ago for a while our butter supply was cut off because the cows had not been examined for consumption of tuberculosis. Well, we must have our country sausage and we reckon? they will let us go out into the country after it. If Mohammed can't come to the mountain may b2 * the mountain can go to him. We reckon all these inspection and health 1 - ~ ~ ^ rn-Annf u ini v WWS a:c guv i auu if they conduce to cleanliness they would be worth while, but we have had out doubts about there being very much to the meat inspection ^ind such like. We may be out of date in saying. this, but we somehow have that sort of belief. THAT CHAPPELLS ROAD. As we stated some time ago work i i J _ J ~ - i.u ~ u :~"u nas Deen suspemu*u uii uze u.&u*\c*y from Chappells to the railroad bridge, owing to a disagreement between the contractor and the sub-contractor. The grading could have been completed by this time if .the work had been kept going without this holdup. And yet it may all work out for the best. You know thai is sort or our doctrine, that all things work cut for the best in the end, though at times we may not be able to see it just that way. We understand now that Ivlr. Newell, the contractor, has relinquished his contract on the three miles of road from Chappells to the railroad bridge on condition that he be given a like amount of road work in some tKo jiitI t.hnt UII1CI ?.7 ? ?*t V. \r <11 lit V- v v V . k, . .... . he will build part of the road from Prospertiy to the steel bridge, whkh is very greatly nested. So that much is good. And then the federal government will take over the building of the road from Chappells to the railroad crossing, and that is good, because the federal government will put up about S6.000 on this road, and then besides when the federal government puts money in the construction of the road all the bridges must be of concrete construction, and that i> I also ?ood. The contract will have tc !be advertised, which will take about j forty days and then work will be re sumed and we will have a good road all the way to the Greenwood county 'line, and that is also good. Apart jfrom this little gap from Chappells j to the railroad bridge we have a fine | road from Newberry to Greenwood i and the distance is only about 80 i miles, not much further than from Newberry to Laurens, and we have been going around by Laurens to get to Greenwood, so the Greenwood people can come to a good market when they want to go shopping. We are glad the prospect is good for this road very soon. <a> <$?<$><$ <?> <?> $> <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS , <s> <?> The second week Miss Thomas was with me we had only two days, and did not undertake to visit so many schools. She was to remain with me through Wednesday and we had planned to take in Whitmire and the schools out that side on that day, but the rain prevented the trip to Whitmire. It did clear away about the noon hour, but in the morning the weather was threatening and it was really raining, so she returned to Columbia. I regret we did not get to make this trip because I wanted her to see the finest mill school in the state, taking into consideration that it is largely a mill town, and that the mill really is the foundation of the town, and I wanted her to see what they are really doing for the education and betterment and uplift of the - - * < A J people in this good community, -inu then it was part of my program for this clay to take in Beth Eden and McCullough and possibly Mollohon and on the return to see Trilby and Cromer. I am sure that the time we spent in visiting the schools of the county and the organizations formed will mean much for the educational interests of the county, not only in helping to raise money for many needed improvements, but above and mainly for the fine school spirit which has been awakened, and that means more than the little money, and yet in mar.y of the districts the money is very important to take care of little matters that can not be cared for by the state funds. A good many of them have already made reports and I hope all of them will meet regularly and file their reports. I have asked Mrs. E. K. Auli to act as county organiser, and as the job does not pay anything I thought I could assist her and in this way keep in close touch with the I various associations and give them what help I could, and all the encouragement that is in my power. As soon as Miss Thomas makes the appointment and sends the necessary literature and instructions Mrs. A nil will make an effort to get in touch with each association. I have just sent off tl/e recommendation. The * ? 1 _ _ 1 county organizer can do a great c.c:;i in keeping up interest in the assoc.ations and this we hope to do. Miss Thomas and I made only one visit on Monday, and thai; was io Hartford. This association was organized by Miss Thomas when she was with me in the spring, but it has been doing such excellent work that I was especially anxious that Miss The mas should be able to give them a visit. In fact I have taken the liber ty of .using this association as an example of what could be done by these associations when the good women of "ho community made up their minds to do something, and they are still working and the school spirit in the community is growing. The Hartford school is getting along fine this year and doing good work. Mrs. Emma Longshore and Mrs. John Nance are the teachers and the enrolment is * i 1 about sixty. We reached tne scnooi about or a little after the noon hour. Mrs. W. P. Paysinger had the kind thoughtfulness to bring me the nicest lunch of the best fried chicken you ever ale ?.nd other things to go along, and I enjoyed '.i very much. Miss Thomas had had dinner but she enjoyed some of the chicken also. I thank Mrs. Paysinger for thinking of me. 1 hope and oeneve mat uus association is going to continue the good work is now doing. Tuesday morning we made ihe first stop at Smyrna. This is a two teacher school in one of the fine Presbyterian and Baptist communities of the county, and on one of the good hi^ivways. In fact the road all the way Longshore?, the end at present of the highway, is fine and when completed w!ii be a real road. The Smyrna school stands near the Smyrnii * * - T - ^U?,v%/.U J ?,KrOlf J'l fSDV?enui: tllliu:i u;m flxty-live children ori the roll. Mr. J. A. Cumalander and Miss Rosabel] Thompson are the teachers. W? had an eight monhts school here l*is* session and hope to run the same thi? . year. I iu: school it n?- aloiu; > nicely and the teachers are doing good j ; work. The good people of the com- J munity nave been in the habit of do- j I ing community work and have had an 1 ' association but it had passed out. An. other was organized on the day we | ; were there with the following officers: j i IJ T "Rnnvpr ! Mrs. S. ' ^'1 I . XL. AJ. ^ , E. Senn, vice-president; Mrs. W. 0. | Pitts, secretary; Mr. V. C. Wilson i treasurer; Rev. A. H. Key chairman J program committee; M/ss Rosabiili j Thompson chairman social committee;! Mrs. E. L. Boozer chairman member-1 ship committee. Quite a number of j the patrons of the school, men and i women, were present and I was de-, lighted with the interest they man-! | ifcsted. And I am sure it means much J for the school and the community, j i ! I I j following Smyrna we visited Bur- \ 1 -- x . J ...L *? /* u:n ion next aim wih.-h wc- uuum 'found quite a number of the patrons! of the school present and waiting for; our arrival and the hour was along ; about the time the good women have to be looking after the preparation of the dinner. This is a one teacher school and this session it is taught j by Miss Ethel Wallenzine and there are some thirty children in attendance. She seems to be getting along ' nicely with the work. There has been j an organization at this school and j ; much good work has been done, but for the past several years the association has not been active, and so it was decided to organize de novo and we did by electing Mr. D. E. Oxner as president and Mrs. W. 0. Senn vice- j president; Mrs. Foster Senn secretary; Mrs. S. B. McCarley treasurer; < Mrs. W. I). Senn chairman program j committee; Miss Ethel Wallenzine , chairman social committee; Mrs. D. j j E. Oxner chairman membership com-;( mittee. This organization can do a great deal to help this school and to'. , help the community and I am per-' j 'suaded that it will. L ' I r I j We went from Burton over to Dom- i inick. This is a one tcacher school i 'and is taught this session by Miss, i Ruby Fellers. There were none of ; ] ! the patrons or parents of this school ( ; present. They have some thirty chil-1 < i J 1.

Miss Thomas talked to the, 1 children and they seemed so much in- j < teres-ted that we organized an asso-! I ciation with the children, and I be-p j lieve they are going to get the par-! i ents interested and that we will havd ' ia real live association at this place.1] In fact they have already-reported ! _J T ! I one'meeting snti i un; &uic uuuu uny j ileaderrhip of the teacher they willj [ do something worth while. The j 1 (school house and grounds are in bad--!] j condition. The truth of the matter !, j is, it seems to me, that the people up j this side should get together and'] j make some adjustment of the districts j, (that we could have two schools in- < 1 stead of three or four, and while I do not know where ;he district lines ! are. and therefore can not nr:ke even ! ! any suggestions, yet I am sure if we J 1 ... . . t i could just see wncre tne lines run w~ : eculd conic to some agreement and arrangement whreby a great improvement could be made to the advsntage I * of all the children, and we could get j more education and much better re-J suits for the dollars we spend for ed- j jucation. If the legislative delegation j ! will authorize the survey which I j i have urged we can then be in position ( to tike the matter up intelligently and I am sure if you can show the 1. (!in>r n-ill /}.-? + ll ;i t people W.UU i.- uwi ????. ww thing. I have attended some very fine ? entertainments by the school at this place in the years gone, and they can have the same things again if the school spirit can be proporely awakened. The highway now* extends only to Longshore, but in time, and I hope a very short time, it will be extended ! to the Laurens county line and then ! ?i n.-i. j Will DC fusici a.:m onu{/i(.i wy v... j j just the school districts and to build i the right sort of school house and at I the right place for the convenience j j of all the children. The road from | j Longshore-s cn up is bad but from j [Newberry to Lone-shores it is fine and i ! will be good all the time when com- j I pleted if properly maintained. The j ! officers of the community association j ! organized here are: President, Miss j ! Ruth Brehmer; vice-president, Miss 'Mary Abrams; secretary, .Miss Eve j | Davenport; treasurer, Mr. Joseph Liv- j ingston; program committee: Miss i j Louise Livingston chairman, Mrs. F. j ; J.

On Wednesday as I have stated we I had planned to go to Whitmire and ! the schools out that road, but on ac count of the rain we decided not to ; try the trip.

I am sure that the associations j organized are going to be worth aj whole lot to the schools of ;he com-; munitv and to the community. I i would like to suggest to the -ommun-j ity organizations that i- vould be' well not to mix the meetings with the ! demonstration clubs, because .hoy are ' separate and distinct organizations; and work along different line', and I feel that it will be best for both to! keep the organizations separate and i distinct. Let each work in it:; own ; sphere. And I say this with no intention of disparaging the work of1 the demonstration agent but in the: interest of her work as well. I E. H. A. "THE STORY OF ROSEMONT." j The story of Rosemont which is pub-' lished in The Herald and News today is taken from The State of June 12, j 1904, and is written by Mr. H. L.1 Watson. I had the pleasure of a visit to this historic spot a few days ago and Mr. Hugh Cunningham who now iives th ?e kindly gave me the copy Df the story, and while I expect to vrite a brief story of the visit just is soon as I can find the time, I feel :hat this story .<o well written will be *ead with interest by the readers of . Fhe Herald and News, and that The State will not object to its reproduction in The Herald and News. Refer-'. :nce is made to certa'in pictures and l made an effort to get the use of the ?uts, but 1 suppose, that the editor; I :ouhi not find therri^gfe the story was j printed some seventeen years ago. j [ feel that I should^ make this ac-1j cnowledgment in addition to the ere-; jit which is given in connection with : ;he article itself. It is a very read-! able story and well written. E. H. A. | mSS WRIGHT ENTERTAINS THE BACHELOR MAIDS Miss Mary Wr.gi^ was hostess to the Bachelor Maids <$ub at its month-!
