LARGE SUM GOES TO STATE SCHOOLS Newberry County Gets $7,666. Money Sent Out Saturday Greenwood Index-Journal. The state department of education paid Saturday $290,000 to the one hundred seventy-eight state aided high schools in the forty-six counties. Of this amount Greenwood county wa? apportioned $5,195. The law provides for the lowest alary among the high school teaching corps up to $100 a month for the first year's service, $105 for a second year's sen-ice, or $M0 for the third year's service, provided the same teacher is employed for two or three consecutive years. Schools employing a third high school teacher may be allowed $250 additional and schools employing four high school teachers may be allowed $500 additional. Wherever the high school enrollment exceeds fifteen pei teacher, tuition for outside boys and giris may be allowed at the rate of $3.00 per month. The- large army of country boys and girls enrolled in the high -~t?all pxnectations. SCauyia 4 This necessitated the payment of high school tuition on the basis of 80.37 per cent. Centralized high schools including three od more cooperating districts were granted under the law a double salary*^ I'owance. The group of such centra; .zed or consolidated , high schools is affording much needed facilities to country districts.

Goode Homes of the state University, Saturday morning by Marshal Ben Haile and the suicide of Marshal Haile, is a tragedy which shocked the state. The Index-Journal doos not know 1V " ?1 on/J T?n_ anytmng auuui me uuii?y?\? fortuate conditions which apparently led up to it. We do know this: That even a marshal, as a peace enforcement officer, on the campus fo the University of South Carolina, has no business carrying an automatic revolver. Marshal Haile, it is reported, haa been a- chief of police of some small town before accepting the position of , marshal r?n the University campus. His duties there as a preserver of peace .:nd" order undoubtedly must have been light. He seems to have had something to do with the repair linl-aon /%-f tVia. T"r> ivovsitr rm 11 rl. dliu U^AVVp Vi. UiV VHiT ViUl^ WWiiVA ings, ami his title of marshal did not mean just what it usually signifies unless the young men at the University are more unruly and riotous than similar bodies of young men are in this country. Ck-aison and <the Citadel have no such officer, so far1 r.= we know,?military discipline wiu' 1 make a peace officer an anomaly. Wofford, Furman, Erskine, Newberry and Clinton do not have a marshal or even a constable. Twentyfive years ago the old colored janitor at the state University who used to summon young men to "the president's office'' was generally known to the boys as "sheriff" but there was no such thing as a peace officer thought of. We think the general feeling is that [any such officer on the campus of ! any college is more likely to keep disJ order alive an^l stirred up rather than to maintain order. li* refractory jspiiis can not be controlled, do some | "shipping." > To have such an officer on the camjpus with an automatic pistol on him 'is a dangerous practice, as we see it. I The awfui tragedy of Saturday i should bring: about a revolution at ! the University in the matter of keepjmg order on the campus. The young men 'do not need any 'such officer. They are gentlemen *and the sons of gentlemen. They know how to conduct themselves as gentlemen and should be treated that way. When any one of them so far i forgets himself that he cannot do so, |let him be told quietly but firmly that j his room is more desirable than his : company. | Marshal* Haile, it is said, was very popular with the boys and was looked j upon as a man of sterling character. |He was however a man of strong passions, as shown by the awful tu; ; burst of it Saturday morning, and : ; is unjust to a man of such tempera ment to put a deadly weapon in his hands as a part of his official equipment. RECALLING MEMORIES OF THE LONG AGO Yes, I wanted to tell how the good 1 old people 50 years ago observed th<; Lord's day. Mother was so strict ; over her children until I was afraid i to whistle on Sunday. I remember | the old bake oven that stood in the j backyard and every piece of bread, : potato pie, cake and anything else 'that was to be prepared for Sunday was put in the o>en on Saturday and : baked or roasted and put away for Sunday. And when Sunday came the mother was not woriied to dsath over the hot fire cooking. For there 'were no cook stoves in those days. ( Not every one in the community had these old bake ovens, and several of' our neighbor women would bring their bread, potatoes, cakes and pies to our home on, Saturday to get the use of the old bakery that the Lord's day might be observed. | Mother taught us not to swear either by heaven or by earth. So brother and I adopted the words, "I declare it is so," when there arose any doubt as to what the other was saying. We knew it woud never do to say "I swear it is so." j We didn't have then what is known as dining rooms. They were called kitchens in those days. Yh? old kitchen stood some distance from the house in the back yard. And. I shall never forget one summer night'wh?n brother and I got through supper, washed our feet, went into the house and lay dowft on our pallets. While mother was quietly washing the di?hes in the kitchen we began to test our manhood and it was not long before brother got the best of me and I began to squeal and it was only about a minute later that we felt that old switch that had been seasoning for the longest, ringing over our backs, and not another word was said. This medicine is better than paregoric to put children tb sleep. This was mother's reformatory and didn't cost anybody one cent only a little motion of the arm. If there were any hospitals in those Jays it is beyond my memory. Xo pa tent medicine and very few doctors .'and when you needed a doctor you had to ride five or ten miles after him and when he got there you just as well prepare to take a dose of blue mass followed with a dose of Epsom j salts or castor oil, then look for a fabout one-fourth teaspoonful o: <j:;inir.e three or four times a day fc: (the -next four or five daps until y -u; ;head began to feel as big as a drum. If a doctor had spoken of contracting disease by germs who would have known what he meant? ; Mother had been taught that an jounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure, and when one of the children failed to take his so.^re meal it was no use running ar<>-.;n<l the house, for mother would tak? h with her castor oil bottle in on.- hand and a spoon in eht other and you just as well stop and swallow that oil or she would use her reformatory at once. , It took ir.om ten to fifteen yards of cloth in those days to make a woman a dress, now it doesn't take bat five, and u.Jess some radical change in the next ten years is made three yards will be ah ley need for one dress. When a man n urried a girl in .those days he got a natural woman as God had made her. There was no artificial disguise about her and she was satisfied to be a help mate to her husband and not a ''ruling mate." And as a rule jov, peace and satisfaction prevailed in the home. Amid all tr.ese circumstances I 666 quickly relieves Colds, constipation, Biliousness and Headaches. A fine tonic. A J married, for I had been thinking for j a long time that | I wish I had a little wife, A. little stove and fire; ; I'd hug her like a lump of gold I ;And let no one come nigh her. I j Yes, I got the little wife but failed, to have the stove and fire as finan-' eial circumstances was such that we1 I had to live with mother the first, two! !years of our married life. The third year me moved inro a little two sto-1 ry?oh! did I say story? I meant! 'two room?log hous< an-: I still did-1 n't have the little stova, i-ot I booght j a reversible pot rack. You children don't hav any idea what a pot rack looked like. It was simply a piece of iron that was fastened up the chimney with a hook on the lower end j to hang the pot on so as to keep it | from turning over while your beans! ,and cabbage were cooKmg. i But I am going to tell you something like this, me and my little wife were just as happy as happy could be ji11 '.his condition of our little home. Dear old Brother J. D. Bowles, our ipasior, would come and spend the iday with us and laugh and talk and ; seemed to enjoy himself just the' ,'same as if we were living in the finest mansion. j But thes^ were days when people realized that anything honest was honorable. But I am going to tell you that very next fall after we made our -first move I saw enough in thai littir :>.rm to get the little stove and if my little wife had ~:>een in the J habit ol singing she would have sung, , "Oh happy day, to see the pot rack MtVQV " l?av" ""-J. A few years after this the sewing machine was more generally introduce d in the country and providence provided that a sewing machine was placed right down into our little home which had then increased to a four-room home. That machine' brought a feeling of glory hallelujah, because the first two children were girls and they were growing to the stage that demanded the making of . those little pinned back dresses and | you know they were too tedious to make with the old time needle. I By the way, we had managed to get a home made buggy. The traveling in buggies in those days was I somewhat uncommon, so you can im|agine we were beginning to feel like i we were big Ike aboutkthis time. Possibly I may give Another-]ine ,of my experience of the past. Yours truly, T. J. W. Jv. ? Thos. H. Adatne ^ The State. I Leesville, May 7.?Thomas H.
