The highway out by Helena toward Bush River church has been completed as far as the home of Mr. Joe Epting, just five miles, and not quite to Tranwood school house. The pity is that just about five miles more of .this road, at least, can not be added to this highway. The worst part of; this road is beyond where it is built,! but we suppose it was right to start] at the court house, in fact it was the i only thing to do, but certainly from! the end of this highway for several miles there is great need of a road,; especially in the direction of the Bush River Baptist church, because there istno road leading to this flour-1 * * V -A- -11 , isnmg cnurcn i,nat is ai au passauic at any season of the . year. The bridge over the creek at or near the Walter Brare place has not been fin-1 ished, but work is now going at this place by the bridge force. ?^ There has been a good lot of rain during the past few days, irf fact' since the coming of "dog days'' there has been rain almost every day. And this week we have had some pretty hard rains. Whether it is helping or hindering the boll weevil we do not know. There seems to be difference of opinion as to the effect upon the animal. We were under the impres-j sion that it was claimed early planting and fast work was the thing, but if we read a statement from Clemson correctly it says the lateness of the crop will be of benefit. Crops are looking good around here and not so much evidence of weevil, but that will come later no doubt. Some fine looking corn in the county, too, and j up this Bush River road in the Tran-j wood section tne crops are as nne as; we have seen anywhere. And the crops have been worked well this year as a rule. DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF I do not want any subscriber to foci himself into the belief that I am going to continue the special sale of The Herald and News at one dollar after the 31st of July. Or that I am going to let names remain on the list whether the subscription is paid or not as I have done in the past. . I put on this special sale to give those who had gotten in arrears opportunity to catch up, and in doing go I made the same offer to every subscriber on the list regardless of the date to which he has paid. One dollar will%buy The Herald and News for one year at any time up to and including July 31. After that date the price will be two dollars and all who have not paid will be taken from the list. You know that I shall regret to take off any name, but I can not run the paper on credit, because I have'to pay cash for all I ?et done and then it is more satisfactory to all parties, publisher and subscriber, to be on a cash basis. We have taken on a pood many new names during the sale, but a great many who are in arrears have not paid. I hope that rll who desire th^ paper to come on *11 x i 1 . * ? ? wm iaKe advantage 01 this otter and get in good standing. There are not many days left, and I am giving you this personal warning to take advantage of this cheap sale while it is now on. t E. H. Aull, Publisher. ? %> <s> <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <3> <0 &><$><$> <$><$><$><?> Among the schools - Tfl I have not had a great deal in this department lately, but it is not because there has not been plenty that could be said. With the help of County Treasurer C. C. Schumpert we have been able to pay all the teachers for their work the past ye3r. We do not know just how any one district stands, but there is sufficient money to the credit of the school tund to be able to do this, and the teachers should be paid. As soon as the treasurer can get his books ready and be in position to give the amount collected from the taxes for each district I will be able to ?ive the trustees a statement of just how each district stands financially, but until I get the figures from the treasurer there is no use to give any more stat.pmpnf.s_ 'hppjmsp at hp<st they would be but estimates. . 1 The trustees to be appointed this year have not yet all been notified. Under the general law there are to only three trustees in any one district except in special districts, and t we have but two 6uch districts in the 1 county at this time, Broad River and s Newberry. The special law as to i Newberry county passed in 1918 has ( been repealed. This law provided 5 for five trustees in all rural graded ( school with two or more teachers, t Only a few of the distrcits had five c trustees appointed, and in these it ?: will be necessary now to appoint ! three trustees. In the other districts i only one is to be appointed as the t general law provides that one shall ^ be appointed each year. I will make J the list public in a few days. In I several of the districts there have i been some of the trustees resigning i and their successors will be appoint- t ea at the same time that the one for t each district is named. i i I f I have been trying to arrange to c build a few modern school houses t during the summer, and I hope that l the plans may materialize very soon, i We have the ground for the school * house at Central, a.id hpoe to be able c to start the building: very soon. And > at New Hope-Zion the trustees have about decided on the location for the new building, and we hope to c have that under way very soon. The t trustees have been waiting on the t location of the new road that the ? highway commission is going to open c from Bethlehem Lutheran church i across to the old Columbia road, and t the engineers have been promising * 1 * 1- i-1- - ( to get a own ana mase xne survey now for some time, and they have s been surveying the road from Poma- c ria to Peak and have only a couple c days more on this and then they c promise to get on the road from 1 Bethlehem. I had a meeting with F the trustees of this district on Tues- v day at the home of Mr. B. M. Suber ? and thev are < ;ne rir-M to work to ,T >ut ud the building; This is one o r the districts that had five trustees * and it has been decided to appoint, as v trustees for this district Mr. B. M. * Suber, Mr E. J. Adams and Mr. J. J. * Kinard. They have not yet elected r the teachers but will do so at once. * There is to be a meeting at Dominick school house next Tuesday to * talk over the work in this commun- - ity, ana to see if we can not agree * upon some plan by which we may * get some changes in the district lines ^ up here for the betterment of the 8 schools in this community. I hope * the people will all come out to this P meeting and let us all get together c to do something. I understand that there is to be a picnic at or near the lower fill down in the new territory on Tuesday also, and I would like r very much to be there but this other a date has already been made and I v can not change it. I am going to try ^ to get a meeting down here some s time very soon and see if we can not a get upon some plan to better the c schools of thfs section. And then c Peak should build a house this sum- 0 mer. , P 't: If the legislature had just permit- ^ ter the resurvey of the county so that f we could know where the lines are 11 and could JooK at the districts on paper we could go at the building of a system of schools intelligently, 11 but as it is we are tc a certain ex- c tent working in the dark. But the t children can not wait, the years are r going right on, and the children do C not pass this way but one time. , e i ? Mt. Pleasant has voted an eight s mills tax .jand: .Mir. Henderson has y promised to get a meeting down this ^ side very soon so that we may make 11 hi i iixijctrmcn u tu liupiuvc tuc dtuuuio down here. There is much work to i be done and I do not see any pros-; pect for any vacation. Long Lane held an election on Tuesday but at o this writing I have not heard the re-' suit. If the tax carried as it should ,f have there will be a new building to be put up out here in this fine community. There is so much to be done and j that should bo done that I recret we I can not go about it in a more intelligent manner than we can, but we we will do the best we can. The building of suitable and comfortable school houses and the maintenance of good schools in the rural districts is the great problem before this generation, and the pity is we can not make our political leaders see it. Talking about roads, there is certainly great need of a road in the New Hope-Zion (section of the county. This is a fine section and there are a great many white people out this side and they are entitled to better rodas and more consideration than they have been getting, and I am pleased that the highway commission is going to open this cross road from Bethlehem and I hope that Mr. Ruff, the township commissioner down here, may be able to arrange to iYi ilrn if nr>o Af tVio h i crVi wo vc rcf tVio 111UAL 1 1/ V11V VJL W?1V VA WIW county. Unless something is done the highway down to Strother and from Pomaria up will be of little va- - ue to these people, because I am ;ure there are seasons of the year; n which they "will be unable to reach ;ither of these highways with any ;ort of vehicle, and it will be with iifficulty that they do it on horse >ack. Coming back from down here >n Tuesday I got in a blinding rain itorm, but fortunately I reached the fghvjay before the worst of the ain or I might not have been able o get home. Most of the highway vas fine despite the heavy rain.! 5ome of it is not sufficiently or pro)erly drained and unless something s done to prevent the water standng in the road the highway will be )ad when the winter rains come. The nam thing we need just now in tne natter of roads is some cro6s roads J Tom one highway to another. Some >f these highways are the finest in he state, and they are maintained >etter than in most counties. Thati s the right thing to do, because as , ve have said all the time it is a waste! if money to build roads without pro- j riding for their proper maintenance, j i The road from Bethlehem church >ut to Zion school house must be en-, irely beyond traveling in rainy weaher, and I do not see how these rood people out here can get to hurch during the winter time. It, s bad enough now and almost beyond raveling. And then the road from 5omaria across by Jolly Street to the 1 Columbia highway needs to have | ome work on it, and if the county j ould have it relocated and widened l >ut before it is worked by the gang I r by the people it seems to me that j l ij 1-_i~ ?? u :_ L WUU1U IllUCU ill CIIC piu- | >er maintenance of the road. But; ve have made such wonderful progress in the past few years that I eckon we should, not expect >tao nuch all at once. To my mind the >est investment a people can make vhether it be made in the way of I axes; or by private contribution is! he money they put in bettering the ural schools and in the building: and he maintenance of roads. I have just learned since writing he above that the election in Long jane district on Tuesday resulted in 4 votes for the additional special ax and none against it. That is fine, iut just what I expected that these :ood people would do. They have he right school spirit and we exiect to have a fine school here the oming session. E.-H. A. Mr. Thomas W.
