A meeting of the executive committee of the South Carolina School Improvement association, in the oflice of the state superintendent of education marked the close of another year of this work in the school communities of the state. The committee. which is composed of one mem ber from each congressional district, met to award the $2,400 appropriated by the general assembly for prizes for the work. There were five possible entries for these prizes. Tho first one was a $40 prize for a new building:. Building's receiving this ' prize must have been built according to state p'aas .ud ;he community in "which it is located must have a school improvement association. There were 23 of these prizes given at large over L/ the state and 76 applications were re ceived. Prize No. 2 was a $10 prize to the association in each county raising and depositing with the county treasurer the largest amount of money during the year. Fifty-two applications were received for this one and 24 prizes awarded. Most Important Prize No. 3 although the smallest from a financial standpoint is considered the most important in every other way and associations are encouraged to try for it more than any other one, since it constitutes the foundation on which the work is built and carried on. It was a $5 prize to the associations holding and reporting 12 regular meetings during -the year. These reports gave a full account of the meetings. Including the amount of money raised each month and how raised. One hundred and thirty-two associations received this prize this year?an increase of more than 50 per cent over last year's awards. No. 4 was a $10 prize given to one association in each county for growth, upkeep, efficiency, and community service. There wras also a major prize of $50 under this head given to xne best association in the state as viewed from these standpoints. This major prize was awarded to Fletcher Memorial school in Marlboro county. Prize No. 5. $10 for each county, was awarded for the best health and sanitary conditions. There was a major prize of $50 under this head also, which was won by High Hill school, Darlington county. TUn numhpr of aonlications 1 UC vvsveti w _ ^ reached 405, an increase of 100 applications over iast year's report, and represented 18G schools in 39 different counties. Although this was a gratifying increase in the number of applications there were numbers of other schools eligible to enter but failed to send in their applications. 9 Large Membership Reports received during the year indicate an active membership of 14,140 people working for the improve - ' 1 --t?i- -~J men! of their locai sc-nuois auu immunities. These reports also show that more than $30,000 have been raised through cooperative community effort in the local associations and spent on the further improvement of the schools.

Matters of importance are to ; be discussed. O'Neall Street Church , I The Philathea class of this church, together with their faithful teacher, Prof. Jas. C. Kinard, rendered a . I beautiful program of music, reading | and a lecture by the teacher. ,; The church was packed to its tulJ' j est and the lecture by Prof. Kir >rd ; was forcefully spoken and the s >Jject was very fitting for the occasion. J His subject was, ''Jesus, the Man." The music was splendidly rendered,' ' ^ the choir and class having been trained under the able direction of Mr. 0. ' | II. Bouknight. ' Our pianist, Mir:? Maude Sli.^h, to1 gether with the orchestra, played \ | their part well which added veryj COUNTY BORROWS MONEY FOR CURRENT EXPENSES The legislature authorized the chairman of the highway commission ' and the county treasurer to borrow $70,000 in anticipation of the collection nf the taxes of 1!)22 to meet the current expenses of the county on a cash basis for the fiscal year. * Some time ago the borrowing committee made a loan for $20,000 and this gave the county the opportunity to pay the officials and the other expenses monthly. The legislature alco authorized the issuing of $150,000 more of road bonds and the right to borrow until the bonds are sold so j that the work on the roads might start atonce. That sum was borrowed from the Exchange bank. The rate was very low. The additional $50,-! 000 authorized to meet current ex-' penses has just been borrowed from the National bank with three notes, ' one for $10,000 payable in December and one for $20,000 payable in Feb-! ruary and teh other for $20,000 pay- j able in March without interest at all. ? ' ' ^ i. ? | i nis is aoout tne most javuiaun- iuau i that we have heard of being negotiat- j ed in the state, favorable for the tax- ' payer. It saves the people from paying any interest at all and gives the county the privilege of paying its obligations promptly as they come due. ' JUST A HINT TO PARENTS OF NEWBERRY | Just a hint to the parents in New- j berry. Have you bought a season j athletic ticket for your son or daughter? If you want to make that boy I real happy and at the same time save j money on him buy a ticket for him. j If he is a normal boy he will come j pretty near seeing every game of ath- i letics sports played on the college j diamond. He may worry you half i to death to' get the 50c to admit him j through the gate, or he may take a chance on finding a knot hole. Anyway he is going to be there. You can count on that. Now you can get a season ticket that will admit him to J all games played on the local diamond between March 15, 1922, and March ! 15, 1923, for $5.00, and will have no! further worry about it. This will ad- j mit him to over $15.00 worth of1 sports. A little sum in subtraction will show you how much you can save j in mnnpv. not to mention the worry i you will be spared every time a game i is played over there. Then, too, by buying an athletic ticket you will be helping to build a gymnasium for that j boy, because he is going to be a stu-j dent over there before so many years, j Doesn't it sound good to you? You can getji ticket from any member of * the committee, or at the New Book store. Remember that the season ticket' will be good for the game with the "Comers" Friday afternoon. Tickets will be on sale at the gate. ! Additional names on the list of Newberry college "boosters:" Jas. P. Setzler. John C. Au 11. H. W. Lominick. W. D. Hathen. Z. T. Pinner. E. 0. Hentz. M. 0.

But Judge Landis declined te: election to membership on the ground Th that no man who had not worn the !c0] uniform in the war should be entitled 'in to membership in the legion. He then \ cf added, "The American legion is the cd only thinj? ir? the world that I ever er: wanted to join and the one thing I , can not join.'-' jr.l A young man was heard to remark up on the street in Newberry recently, sts ''I wish Uncle Sam would get into te; another fracas just long enough for co me to become eligible to wear one tr! 'of those buttons," referring to a Le- th< gion button. Uncle Sam would not be accept him when the World war was St going on. He was too young. Members of the American Legion, Mi wear your Log-ion button. It is a Ec badge of honor. Just anybody can't th wear one. Only those who served ha honorably in the World war and have co joined the American Legion can wear them. If you are a member of the at Legion you can get a button at the New Book store. If you see a Strang- JE er in town wearing a Legion but'ton ' speak to him. That button should be ; sufficient introduction. There are still quite a few ex-ser- in M vice men in the community who have 11 ! or not aligned themselves with the Le- _ gion. And there are too many memnnof 71" Vin tint in cr/md UCIO VI onv AAV/ C*- w A. V w ... 0 ^ standing through having failed to pay j dues for this year. You ask why the' American Legion.? What has it done? in If it had nothing else to its credit ai save the legislation it has secured for ot the disabled its existence would have proved worth while. From the date > ^ of its organization it has made the i care of the disabled its first duty. ! ! Some of the legislation secured forjaL the disabled include the Sweet bill J ca raising compensation; the Darrow i in bill, raising Vocational training pay;! ' the first Langley bill, making hospi-1 v I nr [ tal building' appropriation; the second Sweet bill, consolidating and de- P1 i centralizing the Veterans' bureau, and various other benefits for the dis abled. The light of the local post has ^ not been hid under a bushel. You Cl< can readily recall to mind some of its accomplishments in the community. Now may I ask you who have not af- ^ filiated with the legion, what have J CO you done, first of all, for your dis- ^ abled buddies, and second, the com munity in which you live? We need ^ you in our post. "In union there is ^ strength" is as true today as it has ^ alwavs been. . dr Then, too, it may be that you are ca depriving some good lady from eligi- cu bility to membership in the auxiliary w; to our post. In order to be eligible gn to membership in the auxiliary the j n relative through whom the applica- ' ca tion is made must be a member in j wj good standing in the American le-1 +a gion. In the membership drive put: jn on recently by the auxiliary the teams ' jrN were greatly handicapped because or ^ the number of ex-service men who ei- [ ^ ther had not joined the legion, or at j ^ the present time were not in good; standing. Fellows, let's give the la-! dies a fair chance. They are our! best friends. } re The army transport, Cambrai, with; + fi?o! ^inmpnt nf overseas dead I +v, UIIC llliUl CiUMw.v... * J Lil was due to reach New York on March cr: 30th.

In is connection it is only just to say at Dr. F. L.

Bl I 'believe that the public will agree ivith me that Col. Aull is one of the Co most all-round men that we have in j the county. The colonel is a live wire ' in the newspaper business. He is a t school hustler. He is one of the! greatest good road advocates that we ^ have in the county. But I must ex-1^ press my surprise that he has 'been ' ^ pleading for the building of good ^ roads all over the county except in j No. 10 township. j4 No, Colonel, just why you fail to w, see the importance of a good road through a county so densely populat- CQ ed with white citizens along the Po-vu^ maria road leading directly through No. 10 township to Pornaria, I am unable to see. No. 10 may look very cj small, but her taxable property is ap- ( proximately a' half million dollars, j. And she is bearing the burden of her share of the half million, $50,000, of - ? - - J - A ? J ' tiip special xunus appropnatea iur y road building in New ^erry county, j And you must bear in mind that No. 10 has not received one dollar of this ^ amount except on a few miles' stretch .. ' tr along the line between No. 9 and 10. j Now, Colonel, you said that the road that is already built through No. ^ 11 township passing St. Phillips cc church to Mr. Caldwell Ruff's, thence ^ , ft to Pomar;a, was the nearest route * leading from the county seat to Pomaria. If this be the case it would ^ certainly be a reflection upon such good old citizens as Malcomb John- , j stone, Jeff Gallman, Micajah Epps, Major Jacob Epting, all of whom have passed over the river, in honor and credit, not only to themselves but m the county where they spent their ^ lives. It was these good old citizens ' o! New'berry county who petitioned u tho legislators to grant a charter to ^ open a public highway on the most ^ direct route leading from Newberry ^ to Pomaria, and that charter was granted which is now on record. That . . read was surv?yed and opened up ' tnrougn i\o. ju emu iu.:> tuc \jmj ^ chartered road in this county. As I have already stated, this road jp connects with the state highway near Mr. John C. Neel's and does not exceed 13 miles to where it leads out ^ into the road about one mile above 2iC Pomara. Within this distance there are 38 white families living directly?.r i J*]] on ths road and two-thirds of them GC own their own homes. Also there ^ are three cross roads and five branch roads intersecting into the Pomaria _ road. We went before the county board which we believe to be an honest and unbiased board of tribunals, with 31 these plain facts, and they have given us the assurance that something is ar going to be done in the way of a ^ good road in No. 10 township in the near future. . fir Now, Colonel, you know you spoke of building that nice little bungalow an down at the old home place, and how you would delirht in living down there where the flour and meal made ^ your head as white as snow when you were dipping it up into my sack when we were small boys. Come across, Colonel, don't forget the days of your youth. I believe yoa have ?? some as true friends in No. 10 township as you can find anywhere. And we are going to get that good road right down past our homes and we will be delighted to have you and the ^ little American boys with Mrs. Aull ^ to stop occasionally when you are go- ^ ing down to the old home place?and pret a drink of this pure good old limestone water of ours.

A titter ran around the crowded tileries and there were broad smiles r many of the senators. There was a suggestion that the 11 be referred to the appropriation >mmittee. Senator Harrison (Dem:rat) Mississippi declared he did >t want it sent to the'~nnance comittee, explaining it.might "disturb e bonus 'bill that is sleeping there." "There is no telling," he said, vhen that bill will wake up and I flieve we ought to send this measure some committee that will act on jy There followed a squabble as to hat committee should consider it, it Senator Wadsworth decreed it iould go to the finance committee. Chairman McCumber of that comittee said the bonus measure could >t be taken up until after the tariff n haH hppn reported to the senate, it he thought there would be quick :tion on both in the committee and 1 the senate floor. He said the taff bill probably would be sidetrack1 temporarily in the senate to let it [rough. Senator Smoot of Utah, the ranking ?.pu'jlican on the committee, said the * easure probably would be materialchanged. "The bonus bill that passes the sene will carry a means of financing " he declared, adding that the tinlc'ng would not be done by means : bonds. Asked if a sales tax would be the lancing medium as recommended by esident Harding to the house ways id means committee, the Utah sena r said: "I think so, if we have to come to at." Senator MeCumber was of the inion that members of the commite would want to confer with Present Harding on the subject before ting finally.
