'-^*T . xr-r rnvcDwnp ii AN LltUltlXAHl JOHNSTONE X The resignation of Gov. Cooper makes Wilson G. Harvey governor of the state for the unexired term. The newspapers up to this writing have not mentioned the fact that this promotion of Mr. Harvey at the same time gives to Newberry ihe office of lieutenant governor. Senator Alan Johnstone as president pro tem of the senate becomes the lieutenant governor of the state, an honor Id be sought and appreciated by any good South Carolinian. It is a high honor for any man. Harvey will be the first governor that Charleston has had about 1865 and Johnstone will be first lieutenant governor Netf' berry has had since the days before the war of the sixties. A FINE APPOINTMENT We commend President Harding for his good judgment in appointing Gov. Cooper on that farm loan beard. He has done a good service. Gov. Cooper comes from the field and knows the wants and the needs of the man who makes -the bread for the world, and if there is anything that this board can do to help this man Gov. Cooper is in position to be of great benefit in bringing about that very thing. Gov. Cooper's administration as governor of South Carolina has been notable for kis strong and ardent support of education and agriculture anc he has never faltered oh these twc things, but has stood for them like the man that he is. We'are publishing two editorials in this issue, one from the Kingstree Record and one fron\ the Abbeville Press and Banner, that have more or less of a local application to the respective communities in which the papers are published. And yet there are some things in both that we would like for our people to read. ' nmintv CDOW in W llilailtUSUUIg ^UUll C-jr pv... not to have the money to pay the teachers, and that it is due largely to the extending of the tim? for the lyment of - the taxes. That has ""caused great coniusion m this county anl puts all school officials up a tree, so to speak. This thing of illiteracy belongs to the dark ages and we should make an effort to get away from it, but when we hear men talk about wanting to educate thfeir children, and are too selfish to want to do anything to accomplish that end and that if the school house can not be put as close to one house as another house, and that it is too far to walk, and all that sort of thing, when an effort is made to make community and school centers that will put forth a worth while school in every community, we sometimes get a little discouraged in an effort to do some thing that will be for the better education of all the children of the com munity, regardless of any personal o: _ selfish purpose. It takes that "unselfish and Hberal spirit which would place school and the careful tutilage of its progeny above dollars and cents," or even a little inconvenience to bring about results. We should have in every community within the reach of every child a good schoo1 for eight or nine months in the year And we should have fewer one teacher schools. In order to have these we must get a vision and get out ol our selfish selves. We must take ir the entire community and all the chil dren. And then we must be willing to do what is best for all of them. It costs too much money for what we get to have so many one teacher schools in Newberry county. In some cases they are necessities, but in many cases they are not, and we could get more education for our dollars by putting some of them together, but it too often happens that we are not willing to do this if it should necessitate that our children should have tc walk a few hundred yards further for the advantage. The teachery tjiat the Abbeville Press and Banner talks about for the city of Abbeville is the thing that must come for many of our rura' schools, and that will come in the near future. We have advocated that for many years, and we have some districts in Newberry county where that idea could be inaugurated to the great benefit of the children and tc the community. Yes, selling musical instruments may be called a sound business. There are still a few old-fashioned drug stores left that sell drugs. S> <S> <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <?' .f> <?> A PERSONAL STATEMENT My personal opinion on any subject does not concern the public. In fact the public has nothing to do with it. But my opinion as editor of The Herald and News and as county superintendent of education is a matter with which the public has concern, or has a right to have. I have about reached tfie stage in life that I don't care very much what the public thinks or says about me so long as I can have the approval of my conscience that I have done the r.ght as I have been given the power to see the right. The statement which I now have in mind is in refernec to a matter which has just enough of the semblance of :ruth around it to make it easy for ^ny one who so desires to have a wrong impression appear.as the truth. It has been reported and talked, and is now being talked, that I as editor and as superintendent of education am opposed to the home demonstration work and to the community market, neither of which is true. If fused to pay it. As to the community market it is all right with me. If they desire to have a home demonstration agent that is all right with me. But I did not think the salary of the agent should be paid from the school fund, and I said so, and refused to pay it as it was not pat in -he cnnnlv bill. As to the commun ,#'av w-rrv ty market I expect to buy as much - af what I eat from the farmers oi -,he county as any one in the town according to purchasing power. The supply bill for last year directed me to pay the salary of the igent from the unappropriated school 'und. I advised the legislative dele, ration that I did not knok of any-such 'und, and I declined to pay the mon?y because I had no such fund. The Dnly fund that the county board haf as a school fund is the three mills tax md what little marriage licenses anc Tame warden money there is, and the aw says that the three mills tax nust be apportioned in July of each year, or as soon thereafter vas possi lie, among the school districts acjording to enrolment, except that E >er. cent must be set aside for build ng, nad all of that does not leave I jnough to pay the part the law say.r I he county must pay for buildings ir jrder to get state aid for buildings The last legislature authorized am 5 iirected that the amount of $150( is part of the salary of the home lemonstration agent to ,be paid froir he school fund and authorized the iounty board to borrow the monej ;o pay it for this fiscal year, and t< pay it out of the school fund to b< 'ollected next year. The school yea1 inds June SO and the fiscal year De :ember 31. The county bothr ha oorrowed the money and pledged t^< chool fund for next year to pay th( lote, and that means that when th( ipportionment comes to be made ii fnlv that it. will have to be reduce' bout 25 cents per capita, and in. stead of apportioning $2.25 we wil De able to apportion only abou ?2.00. My position is, and has been f the people want the home demon jtration agent the salary should b< provided from some other source ant not taken from the school fund, be :ause the children are now underfec md undernourished and the schoo und is too small. The legislature ; ays do it this way, and that is the aw making power, and I bow to th lecree though it does not change my >pinion that it is wrong and reallj n conflict with the plain provision oj he constitution. If this be opposition to the home demonstration ag 2nt, then so be it. I have not expressed any opinion ibout the home demonstration agent if oil dYCPTit f.n sav that I thought :he Newberry agent one of the best and brightest in the state, and intelligent and industrious. When she irst came I offered to take her out and show her the roads and introduce ler and be of any assistance that I . ould, and she did go with me to z lumber of schools. As to the market, I have never opposed it, but suggested a plan, and i made the suggestion years ago, and repeated not so long ago, bv which ail the farmers and producers might ; be aided in disposing of what they 1 grew for the cash, that would be : worth v nile. I do not see how that I could be opposition. I see from the i papers that Greenwood, I believe it ; is, is working out a plan along the same lines just now, and that is the 1 way to do the job. No use to repeat it here. > To sum up, I have not opposed the market nor have I opposed the home demnostration agent. I am opposed ' to paying her salary from the school fund. I am doing it now because the Newberry legislative delegation di1 rected that it be done, and when the apportionment comes to be made next t i i July, or as soon thereafter as is pos- * sible, the comity board \**i:2 apportion about .5 ' 'ii s li-ss perj^ capita to each school district. To j0 illustrate what I mean, Mt. BethelGarmany has an enrolment of both ,c races of nearly 400. Instead of ap- * portioning from the three mills tax Js' $900 to this district we will appor- \ & ticn $800, so that this district will i a | T contribute from the school fund near- * ly $100 to the salary of the home 5 demonstration agent. It is the people's business and if J they want to do it this way that isjP their business also. My position is!t that there is just as much reason top pay the salary of the farm demon- j tration agent or the health unit from 1 r Ihe school fund as to pay the homej^ demonstration agent from the fund,; ^ but the representatives of the people j * from Newberry county have said oth-'*; erwise, and my business is simply to j ^ follow what they direct, but that i does not change my opinion. And that i does not mean that the editor of The: 0 Herald and News nor the county superintendent of education is fighting:t either the home market or the home ^ iemonstration agent. ja E. H. Aull, * Editor The Herald and News and County Superintendent of Educa-; . tion. ? * ' f I was dreadfully disappointed that t could not get to my appointment to F je at Trinity school on Friday even- a ng. I fully intended to go but the s ixamination of teachers kept me at a he court house until after six o'clock r' md when I got away was informed . jy the garage man that my car was 1 still in the hospital and would not be ^ ible to come out before the next day. ? .'t was too late then to make other irrangements. I especially wanted V * & .0 go out here, because I had some,hing concerning the school I wanted o tell the people, and I know at hese closing exercises is about the )n]y time you can get all the people jut and the only opportunity to reach ill of them, and especially those who' ^ ire vitally interested in the school. , am going to make an 'effort very ;oon to get to talk to the people of, his district and see if we can agree lpon a plan that will help the chil-' Iren in the community. if ' ' 't There were twenty-six women and wo men, whites, who stood the ' T1 eachers examination on Friday and ^ Saturday and there were seven ne* ^ ,rroes.

As a rule the trus- ii ees should elect their teachers as p oon as possible for the coming ses- a ion. I hope they will not be in too V rreat haste this year. I want to have g i meeting of trustees very soon so d hat we may talk over certain mat-t ers pertaining to the schools and en-; leavor to have unanimity in managenent, and then there are some places .vhere we should make some chages s hat will be material to the school, a )f course all these things are matters a por the trustees and my only purpose v s to suggest to them and to tell them 1 low it appears to me and then they a :an do what seems to them best. I I iave no purpose excepf to do what e :eems to me to be beLt*for the chil- I Iren and to help them get the most s 2ducation possible for the money we fc are spending. For the past few weeks j the time has been caken largely in \ getting the data and making the ap-,c plications for the various state aids I that we are entitled to have. All f these applications have been filed ex- I cept the one for the elementary de-'r partment of high schools, and we t have only two schools that will qual-ja ify for this aid, Little Mountain and r i 'utnana. Tuesday 1 am going with Mr. J. !. Felton from the state department f education to have him receive wo negro buildings which have been ompleted in Chappells and Bush liver. Mr. Felton represents the Roenwald fund by which we have been etting $1,000 for a thr^* teacher nd $800 for a two teacner school. Without this aid it would be imposible to put up these negro schools. Tuesday afternoon I have an apointment to meet with the ladies of he Improvement association of the 'omaria school and I hope to be able o reach there oy 4:30 but will come ight on as soon as we get back from Jhappells and Bush River. Wednesay evening I am to meet with the rustees of Mt. Bethel-Garmany to alk over with them 'the teachers for he coming session. Thursday I am going over to the la home in Greenwood county to be here to arrange for the reunion of he family which is to be held on 'riday in commemoration.of the 66th nni'varcorn r.f tV.o marriage of Mr. nd Mrs. Jacob Luther Aull. We ave arranged to have some barbecue ash and a littlte barbecue meat and he neighbors have been invited and he relatives and some friends of the amily from Newberry and other laces. For the benefit of those who .re going from Newberry I want to ay that the road to Chappells is fine nd the three miles from Chappells o the Saluda river, is no worse than t has been and that cars arc traveling t every day, and that the road beond the river is fine and that you olio wthe highway until y<ou ?jet bout two " miles beyond the river /here you turn directly to the left, nd then you have nearly two miles o the home. I will place a sign at his cross roads so that you may not riiss the way.' All who come on the rain will get off at Dyson and we rill meet them there and take them >ut and bring them back to the afernoon or evening, train. I was over he road on Suday. . We will try to lake a pleasat day.for all who come. Chairman Boulware has agreed to o with me and the engineer to Mol)hon and McCullough and survey hat new road Ve -are trying get to onnect the highway With the old oad about this place. I hope we may e able to get thMroad through so hat the people of either road may isit one another swithout going so ar around. We hope to get over here on Wednesday of this week. Rev] R. A. Goodman of the Newerry college has accepted the inviation to deliver an address at the '"Ding of the school at Chappells on he evening of June 2. I will take im over and will be there also. Kon. i. McG. Simkins of.'Edgefield is exected to attend these exercises. His aughter, Miss Jeanie Simkins, is the fficient principal of the school. On Saturday I have promised to ttend a picnic and closing of the myrna schoo). I mention these dates o that when people come to the ofce and are unable to find me they lay know the reason. I am not Dafing or failing to attend to my duies, but am busy all the time trying o do something for the children of dewberry county. I hope there will e a large number of the people from lurton and Trinity and all around at he gathering at Smyrna :>n Saturay. We have a fine reputation in dewberry for paying our teachers nd the people are spending a large mount of money for education, and ly purpose is to reason with the peole ad try to make them see that we hould get more education for our ioney, that their children are not etting what they could and should ave lor tne money they are spendng. And before you can get the ieople to act you must get them roused and put them to thinking. Ve must get out of the habit of just :oing along because it is easier to rift. tii H. A. A Demonstration in Boxing A demonstration in boxing and a hort series of lessens on boxing by . noted expert in the art and former .rmy instructor, J. Hume McDonald, rill be given in the new court house Thursday night, May 18th, under the auspices of Post No. 24, the American -egion. The public at large is invitd to the demonstration.
