T r A NEEDED ORGANIZATION Newbrrrv has many organizations g and secret and fraternal societies, and it has always been a fine field in j ^ which to plant such organizations! ? .3 and societies^ And yet there Ls need j of another that would be in position j to help the needy and the suffering, ^ it matters not whether such a case ? should be found in the city or the county. In other words, an organiz- ^ ed association of charities could find c a fine field right here in which to j function. It seems to us that there g used to be such an organization here c for the city alone, but it should ex- ~ tend its helping hand to the remotest t corners of the country, wherever t want and suffering may be found. . wt An r\? 4-\r\r\ f Awn .orn .no* !

Tntre ^ is a chamber of commerce which enc tertains the various * organizations ^ which come to town, and which does j ^ many other things for the commun-j, ity that are helpful, and it also has a subsidiary committee which en'.iea- ^ vors to keep the business men from ^ Koincr imnr?<spH ur>nn bv fake adver j -? - g tising schemes, and another that in- ^ vestigates the credit of the people and tells the merchants who will ^ meet his obligations and who wili ^ not, and does various other things ^ for the good of the community, and ^ all these things are beneficial. And s then there are a number of fraternal organizations whose corner stone is ^ charity. And in addition there is a >v branch of the Red Cross which helps ^ to maintain a county nurse and en- j ^ deavors to tell the people how to ^ keep well, and we are under the im- ^ pression that it is a real county organization. * ^ And yet, it seems to us, there is n need right here in Newberry for an organization of associated charities :*-i that will take in the entire county _ v d sriH stretch out its helnins: hand to * the remotest sections of the county, ^ and lend a helping hand wherevr a there is want and sickness and suff- t ering that deserves aid. And it t should be supported by the people of ^ the county. g We are induced to make these ob- ^ servations for two reasons. We read p an editorial in one of our exchanges, we think the Union Times, along the e same lines, advising and urging the j. formation of an organization of asso- j ciated charities for that town, and g then just the other day a lady from ? the county came in the office afid j asked if we knew of any organization j. in the town to which she might go ^ and lay before it the needs of a de- ^ serving family in the county, in ^ which all the members were sick and . in great need of help. In fact, one ^ of the children had died and the^oth- v ers, including the father, as we un- ^ derstood, were also sick and in very r poor circumstances and without the j necessaries and without the proper attention and medical aid. We sug- s gested the Red Cross or the health department, and we understood herjt to sav that she had been to one or i V _ il L - It. 1 il I ine otner or ooin. ana iney wcit- ^ without facil:t;es to render the nec- r essary aid. We then referred her to the chamber of commerce, and she ^ left the office to go, and we have not (heard any more from her. We were under the impression that the Red Cross, which is a county organiza- p tion, would be in position to render j aid, or that may be the county health t nurse could be in position to investi- e gate the case, and may be render ^ some relief. We are not saying anything here in the spirit of criticism of any one, t but it seems to us that in this day v we should have some sort of an organization that would be in position [j to dispense charity, where it is need- c ed and deserved, and especially that j. no little childrren should be permit- j ted to suffer. STATE CAMPAIGN DAY IN NEW-|a BERRY c The Herald and News did not t write a story of the campaign meet- r ing in Newberry for the reason that c we could not handle ;t for the next paper, and in addition we were busy during the entire day and could not c hear ail the candidate W'- are u?- i ing tfto report pubisneu m m? .yisi'is and we are also reproducing from it the Greenville News the report forjc \ ? \ hat paper of the Greenwood meet-' ng. As the campaign draws near the nd it seems that it is getting a little nore spice in it, Out we hope it will ontinue without abuse of one anither by the candidates. The attendance on the mee1;ng( vas one of the largest we have seen it a campaign meeting in Newberry n a long time. That may 'be acir? fwn wavs. at least. UUIIltU IV/l A A* w V ~7 ?he people are not very busy just io\v and they felt the need of a little [iversion and recreation, and they lecided that attendance on the peakng would be one way to get it, nd then another reason possibly is he fact that in this campaign p:irty .re several men who have not been n state politics before, and were a ittle new to most of the voters, and hen there are two women in the arly this year, and that is also a tovelty in South Carolina, and the leople. of Newberry were just a little ( urious to see and hear them speak. I did not get to hear the women myelf. Those who did hear them, peak very complimentary of their bility as public speakers. Certainly he two women are pretty good elecioneerers, if hand shaking and hand ng out cards may be considered the ight way to electioneer. They minted with the crowds and were sming all the while, and seemed to be njoying the novelty of campaignng. | The crowd was evidently very argely in sympathy, with Former ioverncr Blease, and when he conluded speaking at least half of them eft, and it was possibly at its height /hen he was speaking as to the num?er present. Though the attendance <*as good during the speeches of all he candidates for governor, and the >est of courteous attention was giv n, all of them. I notice that, in at east one of the reports in the daily apers of the meetnig, mention is fiade of a bunch of cotton bolls ied with crepe being thrown to Gov. IcLeod while he was speaking. I ave heard several gentlemen, who hould know, say that it was sent by man who came from another couny to attend the meeting. I feel it Mt fair to the citizens of Newberry o say this, because it is not nice to and any such bouquet to a candiate even if you are not supporting iim for the office he seeks. We have, lways been a believer in a fair ight, and if you get licked take your nedicine like a man. Altogether it was a fine meeting nd the best of good will and good ellowship seemed to pervade the auiience. The crowd was estimated t from 1,000 to 1,200, and we think nat a very conservative estimate vl he number present. \ There were a ew women in attendance but not a reat many. During the speaking in ront of the court house the sun was ouring down in good summer heat, .nd just how the large crowd endurd it for so long a time I do not :now, but they did. After the candidates for governor and lieutenant ;overnor had completed delivering heir speeches the meeting was adourned to the shade of a large tree o the south of the court house, and ine attention was given the candilates for superintendent of educaion. There has been less apparent nterest in politics this year than I lave observed in a long while, and et if one is to iudee bv the attend nee at the meeting on Monday, and emembers how for several hours the arge crowd stood under the burning ays of an August sun, the concluion would be inevitable that the icople are interested and are anxious o see and hear the men and women ho are aspiring to position, so that hey might vote intelligently and ight. and I hope thev may do that rery thing. And they will come iretty near to doing it. E. H. A. I The county campaign will !>e held >n Fridav at Pomaria. tHe same 'be ng the 18th day of tne month, and he same being the birth day of the ditor of The Herald and News, it [oes not matter especially which one. The rains have continued daring his week and they say the boll wee'il is flourishing. We do not know tbout that but we do know that so ong as we are left here it is our luty to go right ahead and do the >est we can and our duty to our felowman and to our God. * i The Herald and News was delayed ^ . day in mailing on Tuesday o;i ac-' ount of another break in our iinoype machine. We hope to gvt it all nended some time before the days ome and go many more. These machine troubles keep us lelaved in the correcting of the mating list and we are mailing many new u'bscribers in single wrappers and hat may cause a litte delay in the lelivery of the paper but it is mail ed from here and the wrapper i written in a legible hand and shoul( be easy to read. We regret the de lay, but it seems to be unavoidable $<$>&<$><$><&<?><$><$<&<$ ? -$'<$>'$<5 <?> v< <?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <5 There was a fine barbecue at Hart ford last Thursday under the aus pices of the Improvement associatioi of the Hartford school, and I knov that is another good barbecue din ripr that I would have enjoyed, be cause the good people out here knov how to prepare a dinner. This as sociation has done most excellen work for the school and the commu nity since its organization. In an: school district where there is an ac tive Improvement association yoi will find a good spirit and the worl for the school means something. To go just a little afield again ii this article, on last Saturday after rroon the telephone message cam* from Edgefield that Mr. Arthur S Tompkins had passed away at I o'clock that afternoon, and that thi funeral would 'be at 5 o'clock Sun day afternoon. I felt that I shoul( attend the funeral and pay this smal tribute of respect to the memory o: my friend, and extend my feebl< sympathy to the members of the fam ily in the hour of their sorrow, so ' went. I left here earlv Sunda"1 morning, securing Mr. Metts of th< Mower garage to drive the Dodg< car which I had in care. I took m? own advice and did not go by way o: Saluda but around by Dyson, made a stop of several hours at th( old home and had dinner with then and Mr. A. D. Timmerman joined u: here, and knowing all the by way: of that section, he directed us by th< Brooks place and across into th< Dixie highway at Kirkseys, so tha we found even a nearer way than bj Ninety Six, making the distance thi: way just 58 miles, and the road fair ly good all the way. Greenwooc needs just what we need in Newber ry, some cross roads leading fron and into and connecting the high ways. Coming back the same after noon it was threatening to rain afl( we came around by Greenwood, bu we made good time. The funeral of Mr. Tompkins wa: held in the Baptist church, and ever: one in Edgefield was there to paj tri'bute to the memory of one o: their foremost citizens. My firs recollections of Mr. Tompkins dat< back a good many years. When ! was a boy at my father's home nov in Greenwood county, then a par of Edgefield, he frequently sent m< to Edgefield on business for him, anc I sometimes went on horseback, anc very frequently I would make th( first lap of the journey in the after noon and would spend the night wit! Captain Clint Tompkins at Meeting Street, then a prominent place of th< countryside, and I would hear Cap tain Tompkins talk a'bout Arthur and you could see, ana 1 couia as i boy, that Arthur was the pride ant idol of the father's heart, and thougF Captain Tompkins has for manj years been gathered to his fathers Arthur Smiley Tompkins lived th( life and made the man that the bi| hearted father so fondly expectec that he would. Arthur Tompkim was a scholar, he was a good lawyer but above all he was a man who pre ferred to serve where service wa: most needed, rather than to be serv ed, and that was the beautiful trib ute paid his memory by Mr. Lanhan oT?/-\lrn n \t mi* A of + V)??' flinPral wiiv crpc* ?? vx u 14 v vi?v j. v??*w? ?-?Such a life is worth while.

M. Suber, Mr. Orville Suber and , -; Mr. L. G. McCullough, the trustees < - of this school, and drove over to Moli: lohon, where we met with the trusy1 tees of Mollohon, Mr. D. 0. Chap- < -1 man, Mr. M. L. Baker and Mr. J. T. < - Baker. I wanted to talk over with ! v them the advisability and the advan- j < - tage of uniting the two schools so i t that we might have one really good - school with two teachers. McCul; lough trustees were very liberal in - their proposition to unite and build i the house where the highway and the < old road to Whitmire diverge, or j very near there, that both districts : j would have a good road leading to , i the school house, and to vote a little 1 j . _ i more tax so that they might mam- < a 1 tain a first class school, but somehow we could not make the Mollohon 5 trustees, or two of them, see it, they a seemed to be satisfied with their . present school, and when a people . ! Ova cafic-fidH it is; a vprv difficult thing I: to make them see where any imf provement could be made. It is a ; I very great mistake they are making, I _ i as I see it, but it is largely a concern , [; of theirs, and yet we should rememP J ber that the children who will be the 3' innocent sufferers shoufd have some 1 a1 one who would look after their in- I j terest and see that they had the very ( f best opportunity that it is possible ? j to give them, but under our school s 1 law it is at last left to the people to i l say what they will do, and if they | , can not be made to see what is best ? i 5 :for their own children .nothing can ^ be done, and the innocent children 1 - i have to suffer. An additional tax i j.' would be a very small matter for the , , I taxpayers of the district. There are 3! only seven taxpayers in the entire ' _! district who pay on as much as $1,- 1 j 1000 of property and half of these ; live out of the district. But I feel * ! 1 ] that I have done my duty so far as _II am able. It may be that I uid not have the power to open the eves of i j the people and make them see, and ( j. I know that I did not, bcause if I could give them a little more vision I am sure they would not be satis- 1 fied to let this opportunity pass. One | 5 father who said h<? had five children , f I and complained that he could not ^ stand any more tax, is now paying t a special tax of $1.60 a year for the I schooi, and if the tax had been in- i a j j; creased to 8 mills his tax would be ( ! <55 on iocs than 7n rents ner child ^ . _ i ^ J for a seven months school for these children. It seems to me that a man j 'should be willing.and anxious to pay ^ j more than that io educate the chil1 dren of the community, and for a 5 J ":good school, even if he did not have any children of 1iis own. It is beyond my comprehension why the ' people can not get more vision. But ' j unless the people do decide to unite ": it is probable that McCulloygn will '! proceed to build a new house and es|! ta'blish a real school, and may be J then Mollohon will come in, when I i j the people can see just what it ! means. I hope so. No interest to \ J | me except to help the children. I j ' j will cooperate in any way that I may ; j be permitted. | E. H. A. 5 J ' THE BRIDAL CHAMBER OF SILVER SPRINGS 5 ? J. Russell Wright 1 Part II It was a solemn and awful sight j that night, witnessed alone by God 5 and nature: The boat, which drifted down Silver Springs in the moon(light, bearing its two strange occu I pants?the one weird, bent, gro'tesque; the other, so silent, so white, j so pathetic, in its dead loveliness.

N'ot a leaf was stirring, not a sound heard, but the sphsli, splasa of the old woman's oars as her buat, with its strange, beautiful burden, drifted over the curious, transparent body of water; drifted until it reached Boiling Springs, then veered about and stood still. / Gently and easily, as if it had been a babe, the old woman lifted 1 he little body. Something of her fear had .* in 4-Vwi nlupifl smilo nf thp U(.'['ni icu in LH\, dead face. Tears rolled down her dusky face as she bent- forward in obedience to the girl's curious request. For a moment the bo ly rocked to and fro on the bosom of the water, upon which its happiest moments had been spent. The dead face smiled and the wealth of hair gleamed in the moonlight like a sheen o: gold. Every pebble was visible in the depths below. The boiling of the spring had ceased, showing a peculiar little fissure in the rock from whence all the strange body of water came. The fissure slowly divided, received the dead body and closed again, shutting every vestige of it from view. "Gord, A'mighty. dat chile a r.ngel sho 'nuff.
