Clean up week, no doubt, did a lot
of good, and a lot of people cleaned'
up, but wrhat we would like to see is
every week a clean up week. Thati
is the only way to have a clean town.
We never did believe very much in
spasmodic efforts. We always liked!
and preferred the steady and constant
gait, and if you will note it the'

the greater distance from day to day. j

The Herald and News desires to;
say here and now that it is not in
politics this year, and that it has noi
candidate for any office, except that:
it is for Fred Dominick for congress!
against the field, and that it hopes!
and expects that he will be renomi- i
nated without opposition. He has1
made a valuable and an able repre- j
sentative of the people and has given 1
prompt and careful and intelligent
consideration to all matters pertain-.
ing to the office and that may have'
needed his attention.
We often wonder when we see a!
car going at full speed, and as it ap-!
proaehes a street crossing begins to i
blow the horn and increase the speed j
what would be the effect or tne re-j
suit, if another ear coming at right;
angles and at the same street crocs-j
ing and acting in the same manner;
would get to the street crossing at;
the same time. Neither could stop'
and the two would be obliged to hsvei
an impact. And then when we drive j
along the road and meet one of these.1
road hogs going at full speed, we'
wish that we could see another of
the same kind coming in the same di-!
rection we were going, and see the;
result of the meeting, but somehow!
they seldom meet, or if they do they|
are more polite to one another.
STUDYING THE PASSING
- ?\ THRONG
In- the days gone, when I traveled
by rail a great deal more than I do
now I frequently enjoyed sitting even
for an hour or more in one of the
large passenger stations, either in I
Richmond or Washington, or any oth- ;
er large city, and just watch the !
crowds come and go and take note:
of the different phases and types of j
humanity. And I would not see a >
familiar face or one that I knew. It j
is a great study. Some one wrote,1
I think, that the greatest study that;
man can engage in is to study man.:
Or may be it was, the greatest study j
of mankind is man. At any rate it!
,ie very true and the study is very in-'
teresting. Just to sit and watch the:
great throngs of people all going;
somewhere and coming from some-}
where, and all of them in a great ru2h j
and hurry pressing and pushing and j
crowding one another. They seemed
to be in a great hurry to go some-'
where and to come back from some-i
where, and that feeling is much:
greater today than even a few years
ago, with the automobile and the air;
plane and nobody wants to stay home.1
In fact this ir> a very nervous and
restless age of the world in which we
are living, and yet I reckon if we'
would follow all of the rules of health!
and destroy all the germs and adhere
to the regulations for sanitation that
there would be no sickness and may
' j--.lt- :l?ir 4- Ua
De alter awmie aedui n,scii m^iu wc
overcome. But people continue to
(die, and they seem to me to be kill
ing each other with a great deal more
of indifference and nonchalance than
at anv period in the historv of the
'
world. Human life is very cheap.;
The death cells at the penitentiary
are crowded and then that is only a
small percentage of those who have
taken human life, because so many
of them just go free of punishment.
But th'G is getting somewhat off my
subject.
I
I had a fine opportunity to
study the folk of the road a few Sundays
ago. I had driven over home
to spend a few hours and started
back in time, as I thought, to get to
Newberry in the early afternoon, but
you can never tell what you can do
when you start out with a car, though
I must say that I have had very little
car trouble, to drive as much as I do.
U. S. Gallman had gone along to help
me if trouble should come. We made
the trip in good shape and were coming
along \ack fine, but just before
we reached the long bridge at Little
River the tire on one of the wheels
went flat, and though I always carry
an extra, and these is generally very
little time lost in making a change,
the extra had also gone flat. And
when we came to patch we found we
had no patching material. Gallman
.bought -a patch from one of the cit*
izcns ot' the community, but when J
we came to patch we found that the !
inner tube was rotten, and would not,
stand a patch, so we were left there j
with nothing to do but find an inner!
tube.
There was preaching at the negro:
church down by the river and the !
woods and the landscape round about J
was covered with all sorts and fash-!
ions of vehicles. It was a lovely af- j
ternoon and the road out this side
was fine for motoring. In the other
days when cars first came to be used j
people would stop and offer assist-]
ance when they saw some one strand
ed, but not so now. They seem to j
increase the speed as they approach
for fear, I suppose, that you may ask
for help. They passed in all sorts
of ways, some on foot and some on
a poor mule and some in carts and]
buggies with wobbly wheels and I
drawn by a poor mule or an old horse j
onrl fVio nldflsnrp Hrivprj; in Fords and'
limousines and big cars of all kinds |
and descriptions, no one even turn- \
ing his head to say good evening.j
For two hours or more I sat there'
and watched the crowd go by. There
were all sorts of people in the pass-,
ing throng. Finally a prominent
banker of Newberry drove by in his
.big car with the whole family, and,
he had to hesitate to keep from driving
into me or a passing buggy, and
he did hail by saying "Hello, Colonel"
but that was the extent of hi>s salutation.
When he returned he stopped
and remarked that I looked so satis-.
fied and not at all worried that he
thought I was just resting in the sun
in the middle of the road. I told
him he was correct, that I tried never
to worry about anything, but to believe
that whatever is, is best or it
wouldn't be. But then he could not
be of any assistance any way. We
tried to get an inner tube from the
great number of cars at the church
but they had no extras. In the meantime
young Mr. Watkins of Chappells
and Misses Keith and Forename
#long and topped and offered assistance.
I told them if they would
drive as far as Silverstreet and tell
Custis Leitzsey that I needed an inner
tube I would be glad. This they
did and in a short time Mr. Leitzsey
and Mr. Sheppard drove up with the
inner tube and we were soon on our
way home.
But really and truly I enjoyed the
1 ^ I 4-1* A qm/1
iwo nourti watcniug uic *,iv/wu ajiu
thinking about and studying'-human
nature, and I could not help the reflection
that may be it is true that
the world is growing better, and that
in this day of advanced civilization
there was more of the milk of human
kindness and more of a desire for
service, which we are told makes the
really successful life, but somehow
there was a doubt that ran through
my mind-unheralded, and that doubt
lingers. We are bent on service of
self and too often we wait until the
fellow is dead to offer the flowsrs that
should be given while he may know
that you are giving them. But may
be I am wrong and that I should dispel
that doubt. Human nature is
very much as it has always been, we
are told by students of men and
things. I love to serve people and to
trust people. We are too often mis
taken in our trust and frequently our
service is not appreciated, but you
feel better for having- trusted and
having ser>d, and therefore even
from a .selfish viewpoint it is better to
serve and to trust.
Sometime when you get out on the
roadside just sit and watch the crowd
and study men and women, too, foi
that matter, and then tey me what
you think of the question of service
and help from the passing throng.
The great trouble as I see it is that
we arc all in too big a nurry to get
somewhere and to come back from
somewhere, and we do not think we
have time to serve or to help. Of
course I know that possibly all of that
throng that passed, if I had asked,
would have been only too glad to
render service if they could. And
may be they were all like my banker
friend, thought that I was simply en|
joying the afternoon. Well, I did
enjoy it and did not worry because
i I knew it would all come out right.

I < > A FAMILY GATHERING <?
; <?> <$>
<? > <S> <*
For several years now we have
I
^ been'trying to get our family to meet
; annually at the old homestead in
Greenwood county, and we have selected
as the day for "he gathering
the date, or as near as we could make
! 7
J it, of the anniversary of the marriage
of the parents who are still spared,
and in the enjoyment of good health
both of body and mind, after having
trod the path of life together for sixty
six years. The anniversary comes
in May, the 22nd, and this year I
.fixed the date on the 19th for the rei
i union. It is a great privilege for any |
one to have his father and motheT {
spared to him for so many years, and j
sometimes I almost feel that some ofj
us, at least, do not appreciate the j
things that we have, and too often we j
do not realize what it all means un-j
til it is too late. Jacob Luther Aullj
and Julia Ann Haltiwanger were j
married at the Haltiwanger home- j
stead very near to where Trinity Lu-!
theran church in Saluda county \
stands, oh the 22nd day of May,!
1856. And the old Haltiwanger j
house was there just the same the last:
time I was that way. I am going;
over soon. To them seven children j
were born, six of whom still survive, j
one boy dying in infancy, many years j
ago. To me that is a remarkable!
record, and I am truly grateful and
thankful for the kind providence
which has permitted it.
f The descendants are not very numerous,
and yet it seems impossible
to get them all together at one time.
.Neither are mey very gieauj
tered. The Death Angel had not vis- j
ited the homes of any of the children
except the writer until last year j
when one of the sons-in-law died.'
i
There have been born twenty-three j
grand-children and six great-grand-;
children. Of these two of the grand j
children and one great-grand-child,
have passed away. One of the daugh-j
ters married Dr. W. W. Daniel who;
died about a year ago. Mrs. Daniel,
now lives in Wilmington, N. C., and
I was absent from the last gathering. |
The other daughter married Mr. A.j
D. Timmerman and lives with the old
folk at the old home. One of thej
sons, Nathan E. Aull, lives in Hick- i
ory, N. C., and he was present though ,
his wife was not able to come. An"
XIT J) A iill llvcc
otner son, uic jvcv. ?y . u. ^un, m
in Walhalla and he and his family!
were present. The other son, Luther |
B. Aull, lives near Greenwood and he;
and hi-; wife wero prsent, his only)
son not being able to leave his studies
and duties at the Citadel. Th> ">nlyj
grand-children present were the six
little gir1^ and two boys of Rev. W.1
B. Aull, Julia Timmerman, Mrs. j
Teneh Q. Boozer and my three little'
Americans. Of the 21' grand-children
living 13 were present and eight ab-f
sent. Of the five living great-grand-1
children not one was present. My father
was the youngest member of his
fiiAiio-li mv mniher had one
; Adiniij vjjuu^ii j
younger brother, Isaiah Haltiwanger,1
and one younger s:ster, Mrs. Emma
DeLoach, bot-h of whom haye been
9 i
dead for several years.
! !
When I first suggested the reunion
it was the purpose to extend the invitation
only to the nephews and
n'eces and the nephews-in-law and
nieces-in-law of my father and mo^
cher, but I have exteded the limits
somewhat and have made an effort
to invite the friends whom I felt
would be desired by the old folk and'
some few of my friends. I wish I
could make it even larger. Many of
the relatives live in this county and
the rains of the week kept quite a
number from coming, which I regret,

100. The report got out that the
water was so high in Saluda river that
cars could not cross at the railroad
bridge, and then some were afraid
of the roads. The river was too high
to permit crossing on Thursday, and
in order to get home the day before
to make the preliminaries necessary
I drove around by Laurens and
, Greenwood, a distance of 75 miles,
| whereas the distance from Newberry
by Chappells is only 27 miles. But
Friday forenoon cars were crossing
the river and Mr. W. B. Shealy came
from Little Mountain and made the
crossing all right, and I came back
' over the road Friday afternoon. i
i
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williamson
made the haeh and Mr. A. C. Sligh
barbecued the meat and both jobs
were well done, and the people I feel
enjoyd the eats. Mr. Sligh is a former
Wwherrian and Mr. Williamson
lives near by on the Dyson old home-*
stead. Many letters and greetings
of good cheer and kind words came
from relatives and friends who could
not be present, and I am sure the old
folk enjoyed the day. I take pleasj
are in providing these gatherings, l>ej
cause I know it gives pleasure to the
| old folk at home, and to the relatives
and friends who come on these occasions
who would not otherwise make
a visit. I trust that we may all live
. to have another gathering and that
all of the children and their children
may make an effort to be present.

1 This story would not be complete
if I failed to add a word or two about
the roads. As stated, in order to
avoid the high water I drove around
by I.aurens and Greenwood on Thursday
so as to be home the day before
the gathering. The Kinards road was
a little in holes though very good
most of the way to the Laurens line.
The Laurens road from Kinards all
the way up, with a few exceptions,
is lacking for proper attention in the
way of maintenance. It seems to me
to 'be a great pity and a great waste
of good money and much hard labo:
to build a good road and then just
leave it to the tender mercies of the
traveling public. The best road that
you may build will go to ruin if it is
not properly maintained. The Greenwood-Laurens
road from Laurens for
about ten miles is fine and the balance
on to the Greenwood county line
at the river is bad. and does not even
pretend to be a highway. I was under
the impression that there was a
good road all the way from Laurens
to Greenwood, but don't be fooled, it
is not a good road. After you cross
the river the Greenwood end of the
road is -fine and you can trot along
without the slightest trouble. The
road from Greenwood on down to
Ninety Six and on to Dyson is in fine
shape ad you can trot right along
over it.
Friday afternoon I came back by
Ghappells and drove on down'to
Prosperity to be present at the closing
of the school at this place. I
could not miss the closing of this
school. The correspondent has almaHo
mpntinn nf the closinfiT
exercises. I mention it here to say
that the contractor has not yet commenced
work on the road from Chappells
to the river, and I am still hoping
the next time I go or come this
way to see a lot of work going on and
that the road maw soon be finished
and opened "to travel. As I was told
the contract calls for the completion
01 the road within sixty working days,
but the longer the start is put off the
longer it will be before we have the
road.

<S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <S>
<s>
V After
attending the closing of the
high schooi at Prcsp'erity I went on
Saturday to a picnic- at Smyrna. It
was a school picpicf;' Prosperity is
expecting to put oh eleven grades in
the high school the coming session
and to have four teachers in the high
school. I trust the trustees may be
able to do t.his. In order to give a
high school diploma that will give the
graduate credit arid have the signature
of the governor' there must be
eleven grades in the high school. That
takes eleven years-of school for the
jstuaeni. 10 .get_reatj^v^i) enter cuiiege.
The picnic at Smyrna was not so
largely attended, but they are interested
in their school and in the community
activities atfd have had a fine
two teacher school the past session
and the term was eight months. It
seems to me that there could very
well be, and certainly to the benefit
of the children, a little readjustment
of districts in this section so that in
place of Smyrna and Burton and
Domnick and Belfast we might have
two good schools. [ I talked to the
people and suggested that we make
an effort to see if we could not do
something like what I have here said.
I am going to ask all the trustees of
these schools and of Trinity to meet
uri-f-Vi -mo in o fom rlovs: .Tnsif oc srmn
as I can find a day and one that will
suit all the trustees. I want to talk
over the situation 3 with them and
show them just how it looks to me,
and then if they dp not see the same
way why we will gb along and do the
best we can. There were G7 children
enrolled at Smyrna the past session
and about the same number at Trinity
and at Burton some 25. These
three schools could have more children
in the grades and in the high
school department than high school
at Pomaria and Little Mountain and
nearly as many as are enrolled at
Prosperity. A great opportunity to
have a high school, and certainly a
centralized high school. A centralized
high school will cost more money
but then the state gives us more help.
At any rate I feel that the situation
makes it my duty to talk it over with
the trustees and to tell them how it
looks to me, and then if they do not
see it as I do why we can go on and
no harm will be done. If 1 just had
that map of the county by school districts
as they now are so that I could
show the people where the advantage
would be by making some changes,
I feel sure that I could make them
see it. But the legislature thought
it was too expensive, or may be they
did not think about it at all and consider
my suggestion as that of oni
ly a dreamer. I am sure the cost of
.'such a survey would have been worth
j
ten t'mes the cost in the educational
development of the county, and the
benefit to the children can not be estimated
in money values.
Monday night I attended one of
the closing evenings of the Whitmire
high school. This school is doing fine
work. I have been promised an account
of the entire exercises for the
papers. Dr. G. P. Voigt and Dr. Goti
