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.

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

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.
