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"

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

patrons of the Long Lane and the j

weeks. 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

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

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

hen we could see just how it would

nd may be it would be to the ad- J

."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

have said, is to get them to thinkng
and talking about the conditions,
f Rev. Mr. Key could arrange for a ;
ally at the church at Dominick some
egular preaching day I am satisfied
t would do good and I would be very (

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. Daniel also went
long and he conducted a short reigious
exercise. We had a pleasant
fternoon and I was pleased to meet
o many of the good people of this
ommunity. I hope T was able to
how them the opportunity which is 1
iow knocking at their door for the
mprovement of their schools, and !
hat they may open the door and let
his opportunity come in for the .

The Newberry Rotary Club was delightfully
entertained on Thursday
evening by Rotarian Hal Kohn at his
home on Johnstone street. 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- !

of about fifty assembled guests and
Rotarians and one of the nicest entertainments
ever given the Excelsior

BUFF PLYMOUTH ROCKS

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

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

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

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

he breed has attained to an enviable
losition which it now holds among
he feathered tribes of the world,
"here is but one thing the matter
/ith Buff Rocks as a breed, and that
5 their lack of popularity, a result
fhich the breed in itself is in no way
esponsible for, as all breeders of
his variety can testify. Up to the
ir^pnt time thev have never had

ast coming to their own on the farms
specially where the farmers' wives
re looking after that end of the busness;
they are the ones whose judgment
can be taken, as only real merit

Now what are we, as breeders of
