Which being liberally translated1 means an inflation of work and then some more work. j ?? The Jews in Newberry are expected to raise for the Jewish Relief fund $1500. There are not a groat many j ( Jews in Newberry, but those who are ; here are among our best and mostj patriotic citizens, and they never.', turn a deaf ear to any appeal that is j made for the many causes that are; presented, and of course in this work j _ of raising the $1500 for Jewish re- ' lief the other good citizens of Newberry who are not Jews will be glad1 to assist in raising the portion that i. Newberry is expected to contribute, I and we are sure these other good eit-j. izens will be glad of the opportunity +>? in this work. The appeal is; WV ? ? _ urgent and the cause is one that; should be appeal to every man and:; woman with a human heart or a human and humane instinct, and we are sure that the citizens of Newberry generally will be pleased to help in this cause. j' According to a report published in j The State on Monday there were j 83,349 automobiles registered in the 1 state in 1921 against 63,249 register- j' ed in 1922. In Newberry county in I: 1921 1,754 agaainst 1428 in 192-2.;' There were 7,197 trucks in 1921 ' against 5,340 registered in 1922. In Newberry county the trucks register;1 ed in 1921 were 138 and in 1922 74.;' |! v-ft I j <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <?>T <i>\ $ ? ? <?> ? <?> ? ? <$> <$ G> <$> G>\ ? * j-* The trusie-es 01 t-ue v-ua^fciu.< school district are putting up a school1 ^ house in the district for the negroes, ^ and the trustees of the Vaaghnville ( district are building a house for the , white children. The contract for both buildings has been let to Mr. W. B. King. Both buildings have been started and the walls of both are up, * XT. and it is the purpose to nave inem both ready for inspection by not laterj. than May 15. p I am giving them what help I can , in pushing the work. I was over , there on Friday and spent quite a little while at the Vaughnville build ing. They are putting up a brick veneer building in this district, and as I have before remarked in this , column, the plan is a little different . from any school building that I have ( seen in the state, and I have a feeling that it is going to be a model afT.rV,?/>Vi mijnv hnildincs will be tCl ,?r erected. I had the plan approved by' the state department of education be- i fore undertaking to build it. It is' built w'fch the view of being of service as a community building as well as a school """.ilding. Wa have four; acres and the location and the grounds are ideal. I was over that side on Friday, as ; stated, and I want to say a word about the roads. The roai from Newberry out to Silverstreet needs < to have some attention, but I sup-1 ( pose as soon as the bridge over Bush - J ?:ii . river is completed xnen ne ruau wm be kept better than it is now. The' crossing at Bush river is l>ad, and it ; does seem that even though that part is soon to be abandoned, that a little work on the west side of the river could be well put in just now so that there would not be danger of getting "stuck" as you pass over. The road from Chappells out to Vaughnville has been worked and the bad place just beyond Mr. Jahn's has been fixe! so that you can drive over. And Commissioner Martin has had a road surveyed from Mr. J. Geddys Coats' . place out to the Cross Hill road at the I schcol house, and that will be opened ; before long ana be a great convenience to the people up there and a help to the school. But that road from Chappells to the Saluda river has not been finished yet, and so far as I can hear the contract has not yet been advertised, and it is the most impo *tant link up this side, as it is part of the Newberry-Greenwood road'and is dreadfully bad, though the cars are traveling it. in iact nave to iravei along this way. Wonder when the federal government is gonig to advertise the letting of the contract. This is a mighty fine time to build a road, and this is a- mighty important link in the county to county highway system of roads. Mr. Martin, and Mr. Boulware, will you not hurry J them up just a little. We need this road and need it now. There is a little industry that is I just starting at Chappells that is go-' ing to develop into something worth-, while for the farmers ot that section, and that is the creamery industry. < They are not going to build a creamery up there, no, not that, but they are going to find a market for their :ream and they are going to produce the cream. Mr. Cromley who operates a small grocery store there has agreed to accept cream from the farmers one day in the week and to ship it to the creamery at Greenwood, and to attend to the weighing and taking samples and shipping and collecting and paying, and already, and they have just started, and the farmers have not put on any extra cows, Mr. Cromley is paying out about $150 per month to the farmers who are bringing their surplus cream. One farmer who is milking only one cow is now selling about $10 to $12 per month of cream and has all the milk and butter he needs for his own use, and he had the one cow before he began selling his cream. Another who raised and sold $150 worth of hogs from the surplus milk of his farm is now selling the cream and feeding just as many hogs, and they are doing just as well, so what he gets I for his cream is that much extra. At present the farmers are only S3lling what heretofore had been practically wasted. And that is the way to solve our economic and financial troubles, utilize what has been thrown away and this country will prosper. Now these farmers and Mr. Cromley would just as soon ship that cream to Newberry, if we had a creamery to take care of it and handle it. And in fact many of the farmers between here and Chappells and even up that far rould bring their cream to Newberry :>n the good road just about as conveniently as they could take it to Chappells. As I understand it the farmers do not have separators but simply skim the milk in the old fashioned way, and of course the cream is graded according to the butter fat which it contains. This is a little apart from the schools, and yet it is not, because the proper sort of education is that that which will the best develop the country and that will make the best citizen, and that best citizen is the one who knows how to conserve resources which we have so abundantly in this section of the world. To make the citizen who will make the 'jest home maker and home builder ind to build the right sort of home the home maker must be contented and if there is not at least a modicum of success there can not be a great ieal of contentment, and these come when there is at least a fair return for the labor expended. The state superintendent of education has sent the county treasurer the money for the payment of the rural graded school aid for the county, and that has been paid in full. The following schools were able to particiDate in that fund this year. In order to receive this aid there must be an enrolment of forty in a two teacher school and an average attendance of Lhiity, and in a three teacher school an enrolment of 75 and in a fou~ teacher school an enrolment of 100. A two teacher school receives $200. i:hree teacher $300 and four teacher $400. The total for the county from this source is $4,700. Mt. Bethel Garmany $200.00 FTartford 200.00 St. Lukes 400.00 fVNeall 300.00 Monticello 200.00 Fairview 200.00 Midway 300.00 St. Phillips 4UU.UU Rutherford 200.00 New Hope-Zion 200.00 Wheeland 200.00!

Many of the associations did not organize in this county until after March of last year and the improvement association year runs from March to ' -1 U 1 ~ +VlO -VIarcn. we snoum nave <x coming year for each association in the county, and can have if the associaticns will just bear in mind that there must be a meeting: each month and a report of the meeting must be made. The people in charge of the work consider this little prize of $5 as the most :mportant of all the priz es, because just as I have frequently said the greatest good we get fron the association is r.ot so much th( [ money we raise as the good anc friendly spirit and interest in the c.'-hnnl and the communitv that is ere atcd by the organiziation, and foi that reason I hope that every association in the county will begin at oncc and hold and report uz least one meeting for each month during the coming year, and rem sinner tha* "Hie meetings must begin with March. The prizes in this county this year amounted to S85 and went to the following schools. Insert Mt.

A BIRTHDAY There are people who after they reach forty do not have any more birthdays until after they pass seventy. Just why this is we do not know, But Mr. John B. Bedenbaugh who is now a little past forty adopted the habit some years ago of having a1 least one birthday each year. I suppose the custom started before the fortieth birthday had come, at any rate he keeps up the good custom oi 1 ? trftov o r* rj if navmg une uiiLiiutty catu u?u ?. :s the occasion for the coming together of his mother and brothers and sisters in one family dinner at his home, and he always has a few friends apart from the immediate members of the family. It so happened that the birthday this year was the fourth Sunday in March. I suppose it comes about the same time each year. John Back's wife knows how to prepare a dinner and how to serve it and the dinner o<n this occasion was one that would have satisfied the most critical epicurean and it was greatly enjoyed by all present. I have had an invitation to a great many of these annual dinners, but have not had the pleasure of attend" " '? '---i T J: J mg ail 01 inem, ouu i uiu un Sunday ana I took along in my car Mr. Eugene S. Blease and Mr. Henry C. Hollow-ay. This is the home town of Mr. Holloway and it was an especial pleasure for him to go among the scenes of his childhood and youth, When we reached Pomaria Mr. Holloway suggested that we drive on down to Mrs. Jas. Hope's place, and as Mr. Blease had never been over this way we drove down the road to the old Columbia road in front of the res' dence of Mrs. Hope. There were many scenes that reminded Mr. Holloway of the days when he hunted rabbits and birds among woods or alon.q the ravines and also when he plowed a mule over the hillsides that remain very much the same as they were in the other days. I am sure that M*\ Holloway enjoyed the viewing of thes.e scenes that reminded him of the other days, not so long ago of course because Mr. Holloway is still a very young man, but then you know even after a few years we all have a pleasure in riding over and among the scenes of the days that are gone. We drove down the new road by "Bethlehem church and St. Phillips nd really this is the nearest way tc Pomaria and when the road is completed from Mr. Caldwell Ruff's the distance will be even less-than it is now. There were several friends from Columbia at the dinner and we all had a very pleasant day together and all joined in the wish that Mr. Bedenbaugh might be able to have many more birthdays. Coming back Mr. Holloway rode with Sheriff Blease and Mr. Blease and I drove around by the Mt. Hebron colored school that Mr. Blease might see it and have the pleasure of coming back another route. At Rithardsonville we picked up Mr. T. F. Kicharuson wno wameu lu gu tv the county home, and this gave me an opportunity to take Mr. Blease arounc by another negro school which ha.' recently been bu;lt at Mt. Bethel Garmany district. In going out this way we found 2 county truck in a ditch just beyonc the Unity church and I came neai getting "stuck'' in the same ditch ir the effort to drive around, but fortunately pulled out. The road across from Pomaria t< the old Excelsior school house on th< Columbia road is in bad condition am they say that Mr. Kinard has had n: work done on this road for quite 1 while. I hope he will see the impor tance of having this road worked up It traverses a very thickly settled sec tion and is the main way from Poma ria out to Prosperity. E. H.
