Every new and then I hear some good citizen make te remark that this department took up too much space in The Herald and News and then some one will say that the name of the pat?ov chmiiH hn fh.mirpd to the New c?-~ berry County School news or something like that. And then some one will say thai when he sees the heading he just skipped that over. Well, may be there is at times more in this column than there should be but I am persuaded that if The Hera'd and News can help to arouse an interest in the schools of this county and can contribute something to the improvement of the school conditions in th? rural districts it will have given the best service to the children of the county that it is possible for any agency to render. I am sure that a great many of the readers of this ouper are inteeste'd in the schools of tho county and are interested in their im provrment. in order to ao anyumis worth while you must arouse an enthusiasm in the job and get the people to see what is needed and then they will do it. . Publicity is a great thing in any business or undertaking, i I went over to Vaughnville last Tuesday and had another meeting with the trustees and submitted the plan for a building ana wt? mc uv?> getting estimates on the cost of the building and if <we can see where we we have the money to put ;t up I am sure "we are going to build this model building and that we will have a model school at this place. And in addition a real c^hrmun'ty house and th-it is what we need in every rural community in the county. I am to meet; the trustees again next Tuesday to see what we can do after estimate? ~ . x jr T\? are in. In order to let ivir. rrnson bid on the job along with other contractors I drove ov^r to Cross Hill and beyond on Tuesday to the home of Mr. Pinscn and left the plans with him. The road frcn Vaughnv.lle tr> Cross Hill is very good but not as good as the Newberry roads. It is a fact that the highways in Newberry are the best we have seen. And , the road from Newberry to Chappells j is fine and I hope it may continue in ! the same condition. The engineers j are expecting the contract to be let j *? nf fVio mar? from the ! JLUL I lie yununig v*. vl.v river to Chappells in a few days and j then it will be ^ne going over home and on to Greenwood. " And then I understand that Peak ; wants to get out from under the hill (: with her schccl house and I am going I down there next Wednesday to see j what we can do for them. E. H. A. I have never mentioned the Christ-! mas tree at Union school. The dear j children at this school remembered; me again this "Christmas with the j swe * potatoes and when each separ- j ate rick brought by the children had j been assembled I had more tnan a bushel of the fine:L ? weet potatoes j ycu ever saw and I surely do arprc-j c.ate the 'thoughtfulness even vnore: than the potatoes. And the'i I was alio rt men.Oered when the presort; were taken from the tree, just as the children were. I wart oo sto this corromurity get a good school house \ somewhere on te rad so that it will i <be easily accessible. The location is j beautiful aft?r you get there but the ge'-'ir:'.' there is inconvenient and the! road is usually bad. When I get that; survey made that the legislature is1 going to authorize then I can shew! + npfinlp how it -will be to their ad-J r~~? ? vantage to change rome of the lines; and make the ui<tiicts in better shape and the school where the children can j 7v'a('i them. This district contains! only 4200 acres according to the au-| ("tor's fcccks an ! is therefore only j abou<t two-tYVdr. of the constitution-! al m'nimum but when we can show j the shape and boundaries to the peo- j pie we will bo ?.b!c to adjust the lines | - ?n .,,.p ; SO LU {/icaji- an uiv lui.i ...^ , interested in schools an 1 bettering' conditions. The evening of 'he same day L'nr the :ree was a' Union I went down t > St. Lukes to the exercises at this j rrhocl. The crowd that was ther J that evening it sec.r> to me is the J best argument that could be given for! the ":uilding of a rt il community building in a community like this. The peopie had to stand and many of them could not get in the house and [ of course there was more or loss conj fusion durinjr the exercises. The cx! ercises were tine and very appropriate i to the occasion. This is a line community in whuh to build the hijih school in the ru; u di?:tiict that 1 have bet :i 'so anxious to build ar.d some how I just feel that 1 am ;roin to have the cooperation of the I . ...... ,?00(1 pec pie ot this entire community | in this effort to do the best thing for jthe community that has ever been i undertaken from any viewpoint -that you care to look at it.

The gcod highways should foe located before we do much school KnilHino* iT-kpr-ansp in Hav thf> 1.") cation of the rc'ad -is frequently changed and you do net want to build the school off t'he road. As soon as things brighten up after the new year I am going down there and spend a day or two with the people and see them personally about this thing that I have been trying to do for them for the past ten years and I am going to continue to work for its accomplishment until the thing is done. I know it is coming because it is right that it should come.

Among his sons were: Judge Andrew he P.

Just: >wn the road from where the Ab ys lived was the Methodist parson-, :e, where the late John Clifton, a1 ry able lawyer, and genial Eil ann, former solicitor and con-, essman, spent some of their ooy>od days. Just a short way south; om the point we are considering was: e girlhood home of the mother of i 3v. John C. Seppard and Hon. Orndo Sheppard, of Edgefield.

The fact is this, ih-2 whole coastal country has its great-; est blessings hidden in the fountains of the everlasting hlllp. If there were , ro such underground streams from the mountains, three hundred rr.::le3, away, then there would be no artesian basin underh. ...g these ccaital' counties, and their .oeop's would oe denied the inestimable blessings of, good health which the waters br^ng to j them.

One gets very I'.ttle out of life if.1 he is ignorant of the 'things not V j with the natural eye; Icr .he thuigs not seen are real, and, Ihererore. eternal. It is true to life. All of our bles irgs come from a hidd?n rcuree. The more genuinely enl ghtenei w are tho more really we ar.precir.l2 'he unseen sources of our bleosings. Vie binding link of supp1 - and dc-.mand ought to bind the t?>o extremes of: our old state together in .bonds of real ; brotherhood. The citizens of this: state, those occupying the hills and those living in ithe plains ought to ' r no longer be "brother? in law" as we I said of them in the Revolution but real Ibrotheis in deed and ;in truth.! Let South Carolina be not a sectional I but a united state. The great Appalachian park costing the United States millions of dollars was created to conserve the hidden blessings God stored in the hills?to conserve the water supply of this state and others; the springs in the hills. \ The hidden bless'.ngs which have j come down to us in the form of free! . institutions, inestimable wealth and inexhaustible supplies are largely due to heroes and heroines who lie in un- ; marked graves covered with the tangled growth of forgetfulness and lack of appreciation, heroines like the Martin sisters and heroes like their ibrave husbands and thousands of others just like them. Shall we conserve the a!-' mcst forgotten and hidden sources of; cur history, then Carolina will pro duce men and women like them. If we fail here, then our state will be but a little better than an aggregation of animals without souls.
