H)t JcralO unD Jem Kittrt^ ?t th? Postof&ca at Naw*^rry, S. C., as 2nd class mattar. E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Tuesday, June 27, 1922 We note that The State's staff reporter is now giving a pretty full synopsis of the speeches of Mr. John T. Duncan. They used to dismiss what he would say when he talked about the "system" with a few words, that Mr. Duncan also spoke. Some people seem to have gotten the idea that The Herald and rsews was supporting Senator Laney in the governor's race, because we made the simple remark that you better keep your eye on Laney and not discount , his strength. And that was said in the friendliest sort of spirit. The Herald and News is not supporting any candidate this year. We want all of them to have a fair show so that the people may make a choice to suit themselves. We notice that the people of his ? - - - U A T*y\ /V r* C* /i V*. 4" I1UII1C IU w H Hit v c mc Wiioc 11V of Solicitor J. X. Henry to let them use his name as a candidate for judge of the circuit to succeed the late Judge Ernest Moore. There is no higher type of man in the state than Solicitor Henry, and the legislature would make no mistake in electing him judge of the circuit. He is also a S3fe and sane lawyer and has had long and large experience as so lienor. That was a very silly and foolish and uncalled for resolution which seems to have gotten by at the meeting of the Confederate veterans in Richmond the other day charging Abraham Lincoln with responsibility for the war of the sixties. We are glad to see that the officers of the veterans repudiate it and state that it was gotten through in the last hours of the convention. We take no stock in this effort to becloud the reputation of Lincoln at this late day. He was one of the great men of this country and we do not believe that history will bear out any of the statements tRat some of the late day patriots are attributing to him which tend to cast opprobrium upon him as a patriot or as a man. And at this time when the sections are getting together and the north is beginning to recogize the patriotism of such men as Lee, it seems to us very untimely for anv of our southern or ganizations to make an effort to detract from the patriotism or greatness of Lincoln, unless they really had something substantial upon which to base their statements. MRS. W. B. AULL The passing of Mrs. W. B. Anil, Sr., at Pendelton, takes out of the life of the village one of its very best women. Mrs. Aull was possessed of those old-fashioned, and none too virtups and eraces which have been the saving salt of our womanhood. In a marked degree Mrs. Aull had exemplified the character laid down for a virtuous woman in Holy Writ? "The law of kindness is in her lips." Consequently she had only friends, no enemies. Everyone who knew her felt the charm of her character, and her place is not easily filled. In her life is a pattern for all women who court popular favor and admiration. She did not have any mystery about having friends, she was one. If one can guard her lips and speak nnly amiably and kindly of all, there is no need to bemoan the public neglect nor failure to understand and appreciate. All the world loves a friend, and Mrs. Aull was of the kind who preferred to dwell by the side of the road and be a friend to man. Her family has a priceless legacy in this successful Christian life. The above tribute is from the Anderson Daily Mail editorial of recent date. It is true, and we copy it to give it not only our endorsement, because we knew Mrs. Aull for many years, but we copy it because she has many friends and relatives in this county. She was the type of woman, wife and mother, we sometimes fear is rapidly passing, and it is well to let the women of the day have the example of such a life held up before them as the ideal one for real home making1. We need in this day not on1*r fV>o cypr>tlp nnrl lcinrl wnman to 1J HIV ^ ? -dwell by the side of the road and be a friend to man, but we need such a woman to dwell amongst us, and to keep alive and fresh and bright the great American home, which, it seems sometimes, is being sadly neglected in this progressive age. The sympathy of many friends in this county will go out to Mr. Aull in 11 this hour of trial and bereavement, j ? but 48 years is a long time for two i s people to travel the journey together,' r and he has been blessed beyond that11* of many, and yet that does not make i i the parting any the less hard, or the j t i V j grief any the less poignant. She was [ i j one of those friendly and happy home j a j loving and home making women, and j c | was so even when the years behind: c her were fewer, and always had a't !plesaant smile and a cheerful greet- j a ing for every one, the same all the j a I time. She was a motherly home lov-'t i ing young woman, and that was in t 'our opinion one thing that contribut-is ed to the keeping of her young to the d end. Seventy-four years old, and yet|b j in disposition not over twenty-five. 11 It is a great blessing to remain,young t even though the years come and go, j a < if oil /^ononrls nnnn t.Vio V ?1 11 14 If C*11 WV^VHUC U^/V*? w J lion and the cheerfulness with which j 1 you meet the duties and responsibili-^ d ties of life, and how you deal with1 i: your fellowman.

The first proposition was to j consolidate the districts and build a ^ school house on the highway for both .. districts. Some of those who were ^ not present at the first meeting were not satisfied with the idea of consoli- ^ dation and some who were present r concluded that it would be too far for some of the children, so another meeting was called and it was very j largely attended, and it was decided .. that it was not wise to consolidate, j but that it would be better to vote T "? fov irt o o n\% + o ri rl Ctil ClgllU lllilld UC4-A. ill tavii uiavuvv mhu ^ build two school houses, and now the ., petitions are being circulated to that ^ end. The two districts would have i3 had around 20,000 acres and that P would have been a very large dis- ^ trict, and while much of that terri- ^ tory is not at present occupied by any v white folk the day may soon come ^ when it will be settled, and the idea , was that we should build not only for ^ the present but that we should look to Q the future. And then the prospect . is for many more children of school j age in both districts within the very near future, and many of them will be small children and to have one ^ school anywhere near the center ^ would make it too far for the little ? fellows to walk, and transportation is a too expensive with our present finan- j: cial condition. a s I hope that something may -i>e done to help the conditions in these two districts. By voting an eight mills tax in each they can maintain two j two teacher schools and run them for seven months with almost no state ^ aid except the rural graded school aid ^ and this plan will ouild up two rural ^ community centers in a very fine section of the county. And this is a section in which there are some large landed estates, and these sooner or ? later must be divided up and sold to ? smaller home owners, and that is <* what will build up a community, and <8 the building of good schools in the * community will make it the more desirable for the home owner. I hope the plan agreed upon may be carried out and that very soon we may have in process of erection a good school house in each district, and in each "V school house two first class teachers for the fine and bright children out here. I ' I The trustees of the Central district write me that they have secured the 1 land for the new school house that is fr> hp prpo+pH in this Histrift. and inst F as soon as I can go down and have the land surveyed we will let the contract > for the building of this school house. This is to be a one teacher school, but we have planned to have a school 1 house with a small auditorium so < that there may be a place for rural 1 community meetings as well as a | goofl comfortable class room for the I j children. i 1 I had a meeting, or rather nn cdu1 cational rally day, out at Trinity Methodist church on Sunday after noon. Rev. Mr. Clarkson, the pas- g : tor. very kindly consented along with ? the officers of the church to let the \ i regular peaching hour on last Sun- j 1 day afternoon be devoted to educa- s tion. I was sorry that the pastor 1 could not be present, but we had a ' fine congregation and the people a seemed to be in a receptive mood, t j My purpose was to talk to them in a c plain, iranK ana irienaiy sort 01 way, r and if possible get them to thinking ' about the schools for their children, s ! because until you can get the people 1 ! to thinking it is very difficult to get 2 ' them to acting. It seems to me that c ' we might make from Belfast, Domin! ick. Burton, Trinity and Smyrna two j good and compact school districts, < |and out of one of them form a rural I ligh school. They have the children, j tnd by combining and cutting ome of the edges, if desirable, to nore convenient districts, we would i, lave ample taxable property and the ~ - A- ~ aUi1/]vam f a f ArT>1 equiSiLt; numuei ui timuicn i,u xwi... wo good districts and one of them a J righ school. In Trinity and Burton 1 :nd Smyrna there were last year 159 hildren in the three schools and the 1 ombined taxable property in the hree districts is around $300,000, ; ,nd in Dominick and Belfast the taxble property is at least $100,000 but here were only about 33 children in he two schools last session. If we [ hould be a!>le to combine theise five [istricts into two, of course it would 1' ^ n cnvi'nir onH ^ i6 necessary iu jh<xr.c a ouirtj, hen we could see just how it would ie best to arrange the new districts, nd may be it would be to the ad- J -antage of all concerned for part of ."rinity to go to Silverstreet, as I un- j ierstand a good many of the children n this section are now going to the ' Jilverstreet school, and it is much nore convenient for them, we coma uild a fine two teacher school out of ' )ominick and Belfast, and I hope to 1 neet with the people up that side 1 ery soon, and possibly a small part 1 if Burton should go into this district, >ut all that matter can be arranged 1 ater. Then what would be left of ' he other three could very well estab- 1 :sh a high school. It is entirely a 1 natter for the people of the communties concerned.

It is their children and their ommunity. My purpose just now, as have said, is to get them to thinkng and talking about the conditions, f Rev.

I hope he may [o so very soon, because I am satis- 1 ted that the people up this way really irant to do something, and feel that hey should do something to improve heir schools. Dr. Derrick of the ollege was to have gone with me ; lunday afternoon but an engagement n Columbia made it impossible. Dr. ames C. Kinard of the college went 1 nd made a fine address to the peo- ' ile, and I talked to them and gave ; hem some facts and figures which I ope they will think about and talk bout. Dr. J. L.

In addition to the members of the club, there were a numoer 01 otner puesio piesent. The meeting was held on the lawn, which is ideally adapted for such a gathering,and there, in the mellow glow of burning tapes, the club was called to oder by President Haskell Kibler, and began to discuss most informally any and all matters that happened to be mentioned. As the principal matters to come before the club was a report on the International Rotary Convention, which was held last week in Los Angeles, the clulb's delegate, Zack Wright, and the alternate, George Summer, were called upon to tell the local Rotarians about everything: tney did since they left Newberry for Los Angeles three weeks ago. This they did in a most interesting and enter-, taining manner, except that they didn't tell everything, of course. The narrative of their travels, including the little side trip from El Paso to Juarez, Mexico, and their description of the great convention was listened 'o with the keenest interest by the Rotarians and their guests. The greatest disappointment was expressed by Rotarian Zack Wright over his failure to induce Mary Miles Minter ( to leave Hollywood and make her future home in Newberry, but, accord ing to the stories of the two Rotarians, this failure on Rotaria . Wright's part was somewhat recompensed by their stay in El Paso, Texas, and the above mentioned side-trip to Juarez,! Mexico. Just what was the drawing ^ card in those two cities was not dis-j closed by the returned Rotes. Suffice to say that Rotarians Wright and , Summer returned to Newberry bub-; bling over with the Rotary spirit and singing the praises of this great in- ( fluence throughout the world. It is needless to say that the report of these two Rotarians on the work of the great convention will greatly stimulate t.he Rntarv movement, in Newberry. Delicious punch, ice cream and cigars were served during the evening and before, during and after the re- j freshments were served (except when Rotarians Zack Wright and George Summer were delighting the Rotes with their convention reports) full and free discussions of anything and everything were indulged in by Rotarians and guests. It was, indeed, a most pleasant occasion, and now the! Rotarians are looking forward with a erreat deal of pleasure to the next meeting, which will be held Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock at the Newberry Hotel. At that time the meTr.lbers of the Newberry Fire Department will be the guests of the club. Tuesday evening at eight o'clock the Rotarians will be host to the Ex:elsior Hose Company, which is better known to Newberrians as the Vol unteer Fire department. This dinner will ibe served in the maining dining room of Newberry hotel and is looked forward to with great interest both by cliib will be given in honor of the fire this special meeting one of the finest programs ever presented by the local the guests and the Rotarians, for at boys. It is not often that a program is given out- in advance by the program committee but this one is so good that they have been willing to let the members and guests know what to xpect. The lead off, of course after the dinner has been consumed, will ibe allotted to Zack Wright, who is a past president of the Rotary Club and also a great friend of the fire department, j His subject will be "Me and Mary Miles Minter." Then Colonel Walter Hunt, the only honorary member of club, which i?s quite a distinction, will make a talk on the "Newberry Fire Department" and since he was the first president of this organization he is going to sketch its history from its inception on aown to uie present, time and no one is more able to do this than Colonel Hunt. Geo. B Cromer will follow with his subject "Our Debt of Gratitude" which i>3 a subject close to the hearts of all and Dr. Cromer will put in words what all of us feel and his talk will doubtless be one of the bright points of the even mg. i~> i. ucnii. n., viv.c (fiwiutnu vi. the club and one of Newberry's be-' loved citizens will tell the visitor.3 "What Rotary Is" and in his hands this subject will Toe ably handled and the guests will go away from the meeting with a better idea of the aims and ideals of Rotary. The chaplain of the Hose company, Rev. ( Earle Babb, who is also a Rotarian,! will handle, in his able manner, a^ subject which was assigned to the j p-iipste and who in turn nicked their, chaplain as their choice to tell the Rotarians "What Can Rotary Do For Our Fire Department." John Gog m gans, Jr., will make a toast to "Chief" Henry Wells, who in addition to being chief of the fire department is one of the best Rotarians to be found j anywhere. John Goggans is not what j you would call a professioal speaker j and does not class himself with Ben i Cromer, Sid Derrick, Jim Kinard and others, but he can make a . fine talk and so he was asked to toast our good ''chief," Henry Wells. If there is one ? subject which Henry Wells himself can talk best on it is "Fire Prevention," upon which theme he is always fired with enthusiasm and to Chief: Wells was assigned the cause of "Fire! Prevention" and after he is heard we feel sure that all of us know better: how to avoid fires. The last 1 er of the evening will be Senator j Alan Johnstone, who is never 'better' than when reminiscing, and he_ will | tell aoout rslewberry m the early | days, for the program committee ask- j ed him to talk on "When Newberry j Fought Fire With Buckets.'' The program as outlined above j . does not mention songs and music j and this part of the evening's enter-: tainment is being kept a secret but j doubtless there will be several sur-, prises and one musical event which ( is almsot sure to please will 'be when 1 Harry Dominick, assistant leader of the Razoo sextette, leads out his or-?' chestra and delights the diners with 1 several selections on the instrument! which "Grandma" Muller made famous with his solos at the Rotary-' Senior class banquet. j When eight o'clock arrives on Tuesday evening the lobby of the ho- ! tel will be humming with the voices of about fifty assembled guests and Rotarians and one of the nicest entertainments ever given the Excelsior Hose Co. wiil be staged. BUFF PLYMOUTH ROCKS Mrs. Lott Writes of Her Favorite Variety i i The News and Courier. Mrs. Albert Lott of Johnston, breeder of Buff Plymouth Rocks, says in letter to the editor: "I make more. clear money on Buff Rocks than most of the small farmers in this section since the boll weevil is here." Mrs. Lott has the following to say regarding her favorite variety of poultry: j " This is the time .of year when we j are expected to renew our pledges of 0 faith in that most worthy breed, our ^ Buff Rocks, for I take it for granted fViof if fVioir Vinvp livpd with VOU for r at least one year they have so en- j, twined themselves into your affec- 0 ci tions that they are there to stay. At ^ twilight, as I go among my chicks, j I turn on my electric lighten the j fowl house and pat them fondly and tell them they are the most beautiful things in the world and that I will ^ *11 -1-1 A A-f filYiP stay witn mem uii on mc cnu v* ? 3. But these little family eulogies do not t get us anywhere. We need to tell it ? J] abroad, and not miss an opportunity t to show what we have. I have been ^ eighteen years building up the strain of Buffs I have, and I think I have the type well fixed. As a general purpose fowl the Buff Plymouth Rock can not be beaten. When it comes to ^ general utility qualities possessed by ^ any breed of fowls, anyone well posted and unprejudiced will admit that they are one of, if not the best, that exist. They are never found want ing for any given purpose, whetner it is a nice two-pound fryer or broil- ^ er, a first-class roaster or for egg pro- ^ duction the whole year around.. They are excellent mothers. I have one ^ here now that has adoptd, together ^ with her own brood, sixty chickens, all sizes; roosts in the large coop with them and spreads her wings to . their utmost capacity. They are not ^ easily excited and respond readily to g " * 1 ^ ^ 1 -ra Vtllst.1p.rS if kind treatment, ?uu managed as they should be. The Buff Rocks are one of the most reliable, t dependable varieties, that is gradu- _ ally assuming its proper place in the front rank of the most practical s fowls, one that is here *o stay, improving with the best of them and possessing qualities which assure for ^ them a permanent place with people who demand that a fowl must be - - i* ? built upon the solid foundation 01 a ^ satisfactory revenue producer for the American farmer- or the back lot poultry rancher. Possibilities with Buff Rocks are limited only by the person who handles them. If you are looking for a variety upon which to build an enduring successful business in the poultry world I recommend_to you the sound, sane, sensible Ameri- e can production, the Buff Rock. The e increasing demand for more poultry ^ and eggs promises a larger market ? j?a and better prices >r our prouucta from the poultry yard with more men retiring from active business in the e city and grain farming and livestock t industry, hundreds of new flocks have j been established, and unquestionably n we are at the beginning of this new , growth, and thousands of breeding ihirds will be reauired for this pur- b pose.
