The hail almost completely demolished
the crops where it struck. It
did seem that the boll weevil was
bad enough, and yet man can do j
something, or feels ihat he can, in
combatting the boll weevil, but he is

Wish the town would get one of j
them scarifiers that the county is
using and taking an entire road at
one haul, and then would run it overi
i
some of our streets that have cross
ditches that maj^e the streets just
like driving over corn rows and this!
thing would take out the holes at I
one drive.
We note with sorrow that nothing
has been done toward putting Rosemont
in any sort of respectable condition.
It seems to us that it is in
worse up-keep at the present time
than it has been in many years. We
suppose that the owners of lots and
the trustees did not see the suggestion
that a, meeting be called of the
lot owners by the trustees, and that
some sort of an ar-angement be
made by which the driveways could
be made passable, and that the place
might have a thorough cleaning and
be made to look like a civilized people
lived in this communty, or eke
we are sure something would have
been attempted. There are some
lots that are kept beautifully, and
then there are some that are reai
wildernesses, and all the driveways
are in baa condition. We suppose
the people are in too great a hurry
iircfc at this time to stot) lon^: enough
- to give the cemetery even a thought,
but renrember the time will soon
come to all of us when we will have
to halt in the mad rush, and some
one will take what is left and put
us away over here in this wilderness,
and what good' will the rush and
high tension you have kept up be
worth to you. And probably you
will answer, well, what good will a
well kept cemetery be worth then.
And may be you are right.

LITTLE MOUNTAIN REUNION
The Little Mountain reunion was
held at the Mountain on ' A Friday;
It is a great gathering place. For
many years these annual reunions
have been held in the interest of
Newberry college, and since the esC!nw>yv?ATr*l.or>/l
1 a era
UsUiiSIllIlCH I, Vi oauiiiiciianu \.unv.0v.
the two colleges join in having it a*
a joint reunion. Long before we
had automobiles the people came
from long distances in buggies and
on the train to this annual gathering,
and' now with automobiles distance
does not count so much, especially
when you add the good
roads that are here. Every year
there are those who say it was the
largest gathering they have ever
seen there; and this year the same
thing is said. There was a very
laro-e crowd at the Mountain Fridav.
variously estimated, and all guess
work, of course, but there were autc
.-Retries all the way from the town
back to the mountain and when they
began to leave it looked as if the
stream had no end. And there was
also a special train from Newberry.
Every one seemed to be in a good
\ humor, and apart from the fact that
it advertises the two colleges and
speeches are made on education and
in behalf of the two institutions, it
is a good thing for the people to get
together in these annual reunions.
I could not get away from Newberry
until about eleven o'clock and
did not reach the Mountain until after
12 o'clock, and the crowd was
so great I decided to remain at the
town, and* I enjoyed seeing the
crowds go by and talking to the people
who stopped as they came along.
I had a good dinner with Mr. J. B.
Derrick and then another dinner
with Mr. K. S. Derrick in the depot.
Mr. K. S. Derrick has had a custom
for many years of spreading a long
table in the freight depot and serving
his friends dinner there. The first
time he had President Ohilds of the
\ C. N. & L. to dine with him, and Mr.
Childs made his first and only speech
at this dinner. I also had another invitation
to take dinner with Mr. T!
N. Sbealy, but it came most too soon
after the first dinner and I had to
decline it. There is always plenty
of good things to eat down this side.
I enjoyed meeting friends and
watching the crowd go by. It is a
very remarkable thing in this day
in what a great hurry every one
seems to be. The automobiles can
not speed fast enough, and even the
children seem to be in a great rush;
to get somewhere. I doubt if they'
care for any particular place, just
eo they are going somewhere. I
waited as I thought until the ^reater
portion of tht crowd had gotien under
way toward where they were going,
and especially the ones who
were coming out my way so that I
would avoid the rush, and after great
lines of automobiles had passed on
I made the venture to start, but even
then there was a continuous line
that drove right on by me, and that
is all right- only I sometimes feel
* 1 v _ v ? i: 4. ~
| mat it would oe Dut cvmiuun puiucjness
to admonish you that they were
going to pass by, giving a signal of
some kind. But a great many just
rush by without a sound, except the
noise of the machine as it passes, no
signal in advance. I believe the law
requires the signal, but in his day of
I great hurry to get somewhere there
I is little time to pay any attention to
! law or anything else, except the fact
j that they are going. Everything
'passed me, Ford and all, except one
i Ford, and while I was going 15 to
! 20 miles the hour this car was not
| making that and I asked by signal to
| pass, which was very politely given
by driving to the side of the road,
and not stopping, but going right
along. Even the small boys and girls
who were driving cars were in a hur!
ry. But it was a jolfy good natured
! crowd and I am sure enjoyed by
1 young and old. And many people met
jeach other who would not have met
! but for thr'is reunion, so let the re;
unipn continue to be a feature and'
j an event of the year.

DIVIDE DIOCESE

i
General Convention Passes on Application

Council Meets Later
i
iThe State, 4th.
Unless something: unforseen hap
'pens to clog the wheels of. routine
| machinery, the South Carolina diocese,
Episcopal church, should be di,
vided formally October 10.' Action
which will permanently separate the
upper and lower parts of the state
will come at a preliminary council
meeting in Trinity church, Columbia,
j on that date.
As the matter now stands all formalities
have been met and the divsion
needs only the sanction of the
general convention. This body, which
is the chief Episcopal body of the
country, will assemble in Portland',
Ore., early in September. Ordinarily
approval of the division will be a
prefunctory action.
! The general convention having
sanctioned the separation, the preliminary
council will meet in Columbia
October 10 with Bishop Guerry
of the diocese of South Carolina presiding.
Routine matters will be disposed
of and then the Rt. Rev. Kirkman
G. Finlay, D. D., bishop coadjutor,
will take the chair. From then
on Bishop Finlay drops the "coadjutor"
part of his title and becomes
' ? ? * i -Li- j :
tne cisnop 01 tne new ui.ocese.
A name for the new diocecse will
be selected at the meeting of the preliminary
council. Several have been
suggested: Upper South Carolina,' Ca
rolina, Columbia and Northwestern
South Carolina. While no one knows
what name will be selected, it is understood
that Carolina and Columbia
are those most prominently spoken
of.
The line of the new diocese is ir
regular. Counties of Aiken, Lexington,
Richlan-d, Kershaw, Lancaster,
and those 'to the north and west form
the diocese, while those to the south
and east of this boundary line form
the diocese of South Carolina.

A new stump-burning method employed
in Washington consists of
placing an apparatus agiiinst the
stump with a flue and blowpipe in
j>osition. A draft created by the
blowpipe turns the inside of the
stump into a miass of coals, the fire
eats down into the roots and the entire
stump is consumed at half the
'cost of former methods.

Monday night, August 7th, will be
"stunt night" at the Newberry college
summer school. An amusing
program has been arranged, consisting
of unique and side-splitting
stunts, musical numbers, "playlets,"
etc. It is suspected that there is a
good bit of latent stage talent among
the sudents at the summer school and
this entertainment will 'bring such ta1

be charged and the public is cordially
invited to attend. Plenty of fun
will be provided. The entertainers
for this evening gently urge that persons
who cannot laugh stay away.
Last Wednesday night Prof. G. P.
Voigt gave a most interesting illustrated
lecture on some of the European
countries. Personal experiences

NEGRO SUMMER SCHOOL
ENTERS THIRD WEEK
The summer school for negrc
teachers of Newberry and adjacenl
counties has brought to- Newberrj
110 teachers according to the records
of the director of the session
This is tthe first accredited summei
school for colored teachers of this
section and the -authorities are pleased
with the work along all lines. A1
the Saturday session the teacners
were highly pleased to have a visil
from Mr. J. H. Shealy of the depart
ment of education. Mr. Shealy spenl
the morning at the Hoge schoo
building where the school is held
observing the work being done in'th(
negro school by teachers and instruc^
tors. He expressed himself as be
ing pleased with the work being don<
and gave the negr.o teachers a practical
talk at the time in one big grouj
in the chapel. Following his tall
was a splendid message to the teach
ers from Superintendent Cannon o1
the Newberry school. Col. E. H
Aull, chairman of the county boarc
of education, has visited the schoo
several times and addressed th(
teachers. They say that the specia
demonstration by Miss Leigbtsey oi
Newberry county offered much infor
mation to the negro teachers abou'
organizing auxiliaries for the Rec
Crocs.
In the negro summer school ar<
being taught courses in manual art:
and handidcrafts as well as the regu
lar academic branches. The schoo
is of interest to the whole negrc
population and work being done ir
it is the talk of town among the r.e
groes. Several negro ministers maK<
visits to the school weekly and speal
encouragingly of the work of th<
school.
Having a summer school for negn
teachers of this county is due in z
large measure to the untiring effort:
of U. S. Gallman, the supervisor ol
the negro schools of Newberry. I

r. Badaeck, N. S., Aug. 4.?All the
villagers of Baddeck trudged to the

evening and stood in reverence at
sunset while the body of Dr. Alexander
Graham' Bell was laid tenderly to
rest after a life of 75 yeans, ifi which
he gave to the world the telephone
and other inventions.
Over his tomb, blasted from rock

built years ago by the inventor; be)
low the quiet woodland and the se:
rene lakes, on whose waters Dr. Bell
T experimented with speed boats and

The lakes were still and all the
. craft that sailed upon their waters
; stood motionless at the funeral hour.
. In the village every shop and store
; was closed and each home had sent
; its -occupants to the mountain top.
No one was left in the laboratories
. and work shops, where Dr. Bell *>nd
t his helpers busied themselves in sum[
mertime. Every one had gone to give
respect at the burial of the vener;
able scientist from another land,

END OLD CUSTOM
Canadian Authorities forbid
Further Potlatches.
Indians of the Pacific Coast Resort to '
Courts in Effort to Retain
Ancient Rights.
One of the most unusual legal hat- j
ties in Canadian history nas just oeen :
staged on the Pacific coast of British '
Columbia, where some forty of the I
Kwakiutl tribe have been convicted of i
holding a "potlatch," and some of them ]
sentenced to two months' imprison- ]
ment. Among those convicted was a
squaw, the first In the history of British
Columbia.
The potlatch is one of the outstanding
events of life among the Indians
of the Pacific const, according :to
Francis Dickie In Popular Mechanics
Magazine, but very little haf been
written of it. and this mostly without
understanding of the deep social sigi
nifictince of the feast, dancing, ceremonies
and gift-giving which are a
I part of the event called potlatch.
The government's placing restraining
laws against the holding of potlatches
was on the ground that Jndiaa*
on these occasions Impoverished
themselves by giving away all their
earthly possessions, often the savings
of years; for when an Indian gave a
potlatch, he did give away everything
he owned to members of his tribe
whom he had inviled. In some cases,
where a very great chief gave a pot,
latrh, people of other tribes, often hundreds
of miles away, were invited: In
the years before the white man came,
; such feasts lasted from ten days to a
month.
.But though the government was
partly right in its claim, the potlatch
I presents a paradoxical Situation, for
j in giving away all he possessed an
j muian was ai me same nine acquiring
! a vested interest?the potlatch was
nothing less than a life-insurance pre1
mium, old-ape pension and endowment
[ fund all rolled Into one. In fact, the
i Indians, had in operation a rautual!
benefit system long before the white
j man.
After the coming of the white man,
the potlatches changed considerably.
Instead of furs, the Indians began
' gi\ing blankets, flour, guns and ammuj
nition bought from the Hudson's Bay
I company. As time went on they took
full advantage of the wonders of the
j white roan, so in recent years poti
latches have presented one of the most
j Incongruous sights perhaps the world
has ever seen. There came into existence
sewing-machine and furniture
and gramophone potlatches; potlatches
of cooking utensils and clothing; boots
; and clothes; frequently furs and some
' other articles. But the chief jpoflatches
in recent times have been
gramophone, furniture and utensils.
The writer has been fortunate in obtaining
the most recent photos of what
may be perhaps the last potlatches
ever held. These photos also show the
march of the wild men to the great
ceremonial hall.
Should the potlatches be stopped
forever it is hard to foretell what will
be the effect on the Indians. It is a
fact that quite aside from the vested
interest acquired by giving a potlatch,
i the giving of such gave the giver immense
prestige. It was the Highest
peak of social ambition for a coast Indian,
striven for as eagerly as a nou,
veau riche trying to break Into New
York's "four hundred." Looked at
from this point of view, the taking
away of it may rob the Indians of initiative
and ambition to earn money to
hold one?another paradox in view of
the government passing a prohibitive
! law because the potlatch impoverished
the giver.
Unhappy French Colony.
"Since the doctor came here we have
seen the most wonderful things happen.
First of all he kills the sick people;
then he cures them, and after that he
wake? them up again." So a native
girl wrote of Dr. Alberf Schweitzer,
author of "On the Edge of the Primeval
Forest," who went out in 1913
to the Ogowe lowlands of the French
: colonv of Gaboon, there to maintain
I for four and* a half years a surgical
and medical clinic for the negroes,
says the Detroit News.
"Our country devours its own children."
was the sage remark of an old
j chief. A vicious climate, a plentiful
; lack of proper food, overindulgence in
i rum and strong tobacco were killing
off the natives rapidly when Doctor
Schweitzer arrived. One of the worst
problems was chronic nicotine poisoning.
producing acute constipation and
nervous disturbances. Tlfe tobacco

WILL INVESTIGATE
WHIPPING OF GIRL
Council Orders Inquiry?Negro Said
to Have Been Spirited
The State.
Greenwood, Aug. 4.?City council
last night ordered an investigation of
the alleged whipping of Irene Fisher,
a negro girl, by three white men
some time ago and instructed the
chief of police and city attorney to
take steps to secure evidence against
the men. The three men charged
with the deed are E. C. Johnson, J.
C. Deal and Claiborne McDowell.
The girl, who was almost beaten to
death, it is alleged, has been spirted
out of the city since the whipping.
' Council authorized the city
i attorney to begin action in higher
! courts, if necessary. The three men
under arrest were released on bail
'about two weeks ago.
It is alleged that they accused the
| negro of taking a ten dollar gold
piece from one of. them and when
!she failed to produce the coin they
|administered the beating with sticks.
! The coin was later found in one of
j the men's pocket6, the girl claims.
Good Old Days
I
j
| Anderson Mail.
I "They are seldom ever mentioned
now, but just how the country gets
'along without (the blacksmith shops,
' one of which u^d to be at nearly every
cross road; and the old mills, one
of which used to grind1 away on some
creek in every neighborhood," rej
marked one of Anderson county's
most pleasant old gentlemen who was
a business visitor to the city today,
: "I am unable to figure out. I can
readily see?and.' understand?how
the things the old' blacksmith shop
and the old mill used to supply are
being supplied, how the hardware
stores, how modern milling and merchandising
furnish these things
cheaper, perhaps, than they could?
j but really that is riot what puzzles
me. The blacksmith shop and the
old mill I have in mind were more
than merely a place to have a plow
sharpened or some slight repair
jmade, or to get a turn of corn
ground; they were neighborhood ceniters,
so to speak; places where the
'men of the community met to make
i tax returns, to pay taxes, to vote, to
'discuss politics, and?to play! But
they are all gone now. No more
pitching horse shoes; no more wrestling
and jumping, no more 'fox and
geese,' no more just plain fighting,
j or lifting with a handstick to prove
jvho was the best man. All gone!
! Gone with the old mill and the old
shop."
| "All gone!" There was a note of
sadness, of loneliness, in his voice.

chief attraction?would hardly be a
match for his athletic grandson who
is now the captain of a football
! squad. He could beat him shucking
j corn and maybe could stick it out
with him .at a dance, but he would i
get cleaned up in a poker game be

A new method of keeping hay
' without curing it in the sun has been
1 worked out in Switzerland. The newrv.nm^
in,v is stored on metal
ljr iav?
; sheets in silos of 400 feet capacity.
Another metal sheet closes the top
! of the silo and the two sheets are
| connected in an electric circuit, so
an alternating current of from 200
j to 500 volts is passed through the
grass between taem. This enables the
grass to be preserved in its. natural
| state until required. It can be cut
and stored: irrespective 01 weawrer
conditions and it contains twice the
nutriment of an equ'al quantity of
4hay.
