Greneker in the trying ordeal through which he is going. His was a devoted family. One "L.? ??? *-U/\ w? AWV\y\>?o A-? fowilv uy UIIC UIC lllCiJJUCio VJL cut lauiiij have passed. Some of them having married and set up homes of their own, as but natural in the course of human events, and some having gone over the river. The mother passed many years ago and the father some fifteen or twenty, and the only brother was left scnie several years ago. R. H. Greneker and his unmarried sister, Miss Carrie Greneker, have lived happily together for a number of years, each devoted to the other in that beautiful loyalty that is often lacking in many homes, and which to us has always been the most lovely and the most commendable characteristic in any family relation, and without which there will soon be no American home, and the American home?the true home?is the bulwark of our civilization. And now that sister has had the hand of affliction laid heavily upon her, and she has been lingering between life and death for many weeks, suffering much at times and with little or no hope of final recovery. Mr'. Greneker has performed the duties of his position on this newspaper for several weeks under very trying circumstances, and we have told him all along just to do the best he could and not to worry about the work, but to give his sister all the attention he could. Now he asks to be relieved for only a week, and we readily grant it, and two weeks or more if he can be of assistance and comfort to his suffering sister. He is and has been faithful and loyal to this newspaper, and that could not be otherwise, because he is and has been always faithful and loyal to his family and that is the foundation of all loyalty. So if the reader shall find that the local column is not what it generally is you may know the reason. We will do the best we Can and we ask your cooperation and help. Send us by telephone any items you may have or bring them to the office and the young ladies there will handle them as best they can. ENOUGH OF "MUDDLING THROUGH" The menace of a fuel and car shortage is the price the American people are paying for their trust in the policy of "somehow muddling -*-1 t-? ->-T- T+ mrougri Ulfll lliuusuiai UIO^UKO. AV is time that this costly ana futile policy was abandoned; time that a new and definite attitude was adopted for the protection of the public interests in the disputes betwen capital and labor. Nation-wide strikes that disturb whole industries, that cause widespread losses and suffering, that result in murder and arson and in a disregard for law should be recognized as exactly what they are?a form of civil war. And in this form of war, just as much as the kind that is openly called war, the noncombatants are the ones who must pay and who generally suffer the most. It is they, the hundred million who had no part in the rail and coal strikes, who must pay for the damage wrought? pay in increased costs for the necessaries of life, in shipments delayed, lost or wasted, and in chill and sickness. The whole spirit of democracy is supposedly based upon a decent regard for the rights of others. We recently fought a war to sustain those rights on the seas and in Eu' - 1 -11 1 Xl rope, cut we nave anoweu mem ^ be flaunted here at home. The responsibility for these conditions rests with the government and those who constitute it. And it is a responsibility that cannot be shifted or denied. The only reason for government is to protect the individual to insure him protection against those stronger than himself, to enable him to go peacefully and serenely about his lawful business. Yet in the case of our great strikes the individual has no security. The individual in the cities does not know if he will have work or food. The individual on the farms does not know if he will be ablf to sell his produce or supply himself with coal and other necessaries. Something must be done to compel those who engage in the nation's big industries, either as managers or employes, to respect (the rights and interests of the general public. We] listen to long tirades about the j | rights of capita! anil labor, but how about our rights? Must we ail sub mit tamelv to beitiir starved and fro* zen while little groups carry on their little wars, or shall we exercise our j ! rights of majority rule and compel J the government to act promptly and j firmly on behalf of all the people? And no silly futility like the Rail-! , road Labor board, powerless to car; ry out its decisions, should again be 'tolerated as a palliative for a nation-j al disorder.?Countrv Gentleman. I % ' i j This seems to us to be a clear and fair statement of the conditions of j the strike situation. But the trouole in this country today, and we suppose in the world, is that the other fellow does not have any or at least very little regard or concern for the rights of the other fellow. In other i words we can see only our side of any question, and this condition means : truly that we do not even see our j own side, because without consideration for the other fellow there is ; no civilization, and we are back in the stone and iron age and have be! come but as cave dwellers. : And the great combinations of labor and of capital have left no room rfor the individual and the individual has no security. And unless some1 th inongi sdote shrdlu shrdlu scvbvc i thing is done to make the great combinations have respect for the rights of the individual our very civiliza1 tion is in danger and our democracy will be a failure. It has seemed to us that the gov-; > ! ernment should long ago have taken I a hand in this strike situation, and I if it had and had done so without any politics but in the spirit of right and justice, and with due regard for the rights of the individual who is the citizen it would have been over long ago. If the individual is not permitted to work and has no protection when he desires to work then we are but serfs and slaves and the protection of our democratic government is worthless. There is really no excuse we can see for this strike to have lasted so long as it has. If it j ^ ?1 ' ^ r\ cfwI'/ivp I aneciea nu une uui mc >iuia?o unu the railroads and coal miners it would not be so bad, because that would be their business, but just at this time it reaches out and touches the producer and that touches every one because after all we are all dependent upon what grows out of the ground for our very existence. $ <$> <S> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <$> ^ ^ I The Little Mountain high school, had its formal opening on Friday, j and while this is a little out of the j1 fti-^inarv i t a fine custom, because!( it gives opportunity to have the pupils enrolled and classified where there are new ones, and the program J is all ready for work on Monday 1 morning, and then in addition the '' words of welcome and advice which are generally given on these occasions and which is good and helpful ; can be gotten off before the regular : school work begins. And there was 1 a fine opening at Little Mountain, but then th&t it but what we expect- : ed, because they have the right sort ' of school spirit in this community J and an abiding interest in the school. Otherwise they could never have had the kind of school they have at this j' place. Short talks were made by Dr. |' J. J. Long and E. H. Aull and the j religious exercises were conducted i by Rev. J. L. Cromer. Mr. P. K.! Harmon returns as principal and Mr. * E. 0. Hentz will be the assistant this i; i, session, and in the grammar school i there are the same teachers, Misses,' Lucy Brady, Evelyn Wise and Helen j Summer. The enrolment at the op-1 ening day was around 150. I . i After the exercises at Little Moun- ; tain I drove over to Central and af- 1 ter a good dinner with the family of j Mr. Adam L. Auil I went down to j1 where the trustees are building a ;; modren house for the school at this place. The work is in charge of Mr. ; J. C. Epting and he is getting along, nicely with the work and doing a fine \ job. This house when completed; will be by far the best one teacher school house in the county, and the '1 arrangement is that no effort will be made to teach high school children in ! the school but that they will attend either Little Mountain or Pomaria, 1 and we are to make an effort to so 1 arrange the schedule that when a ^ child finishes at Central it will be ad- 1 mitted to the high school at either ^ one of these schools without question. In other words this school is to be a sort of gramma* school for * the two high schools. I hope that Mr. Epting will continue to press the work at this place so that the hou?o may soon be ready for use. and i', know that he will do this and I be-j' lieve that we are going to get the i' building put up at a minimum of J cost. 1 l c i I then drove over to the home of j1 Mr. M. G. Shealy to see'him about f the sawing1 of some lumber for the! negro building that the negroes are making an effort to build in the Fairview district, and to be used by Fairview, Wheeland and Mt. Pilgrim districts for the negro children. The colored people seem to be very much in earnest in their efforts to have a new building and if they will just go ahead and do their part as they j should I will help them to put up the j building, because there is really no fit building in either one of the districts. (More to follow I forgot that the election is to be held on Tuesday, but I will keep my j appointments to visit the school at | Jalapa at the opening hour Tuesday morning, which I understand is at 8:30 o'clock, and will go from there to Kinards and hope to reach Kinards around 11 o'clock. I will either vote before I go or try to get home in time to vote. I rarely fail to vote. This year somehow I have no inclination to get in politics, and if I had the inllination I have not had the time. I want every one to remember the picnic at Vaughnville on Friday and we expect to have a large crowd present and there will be come speeches by invited guests. Dr. Derrick from the college has accepted an invitation to be with us, and we are expecting Miss Mattie Thomas of the state department of education, and Mr. Jos. H. Shealy from the same department, and I am counting on Prof. Cannon of the city schools. The improvement association will have charge of the program and they will arrange the music part of it. This is now one of the livest associations in the county. They have fine attendance at the meetings and much interest is manifest. They have bought a piano and we will have one in the building at the opening on" Friday. Mr. John Holland of Greenwood has promised to bring one over and if it should not be the one the iaaies want ne will taKe it oacK ana bring one of their own choice. I would be glad to see 'the school at Chappells go out in a body to this picnic, and the school across the line in Laurens, and the Mudlic school. All these schools should get to know each other better and should establish a friendly rivalry for the betterment of all of the schools. Another very live association is the one at Saluda school in No. 9 township, and much of the activity of this association is due to the splendid and intelligent leadership of. Mrs. R. C. Hunter, and the hearty cooperation of all the good ladies of the school j community as well as the men. This i is the only way to have a live any- J thing in a community, for all the ^ people to get together and work as one. They are to have a meeting on Saturday night at 8 o'clock, September 16. Mrs. Hunter says she finds that she can have better attendance and more interest by holding the mettings in the evening. Dr. Knotts of the health department is to be with them on that evening. I am going with him. I have been trying to get to one of the meetings down here but somehow every time something has prevented. Mr. R. C. Hunter, the principal of the school, wants all of the children to be present at this time so that they may r\l n VNf* nl aw/v U f A T uiouuoo piano aiung wiun one pax etna j for the school year, and it is a capital idea to have some definite plans, because unless you have some aim and something to accomplish more than J the simple routftie you will not do a j great deal. His idea is to start the? work as soon as school opens. In ( writing me about the meeting Mrs.' Hunter says: "We want every one' interested in the school and commun-' ity, whether a member of the asso-1 ciation or not to meet with us." And ( that is the correct idea, and the way! to get those to join who have not,! and certainly every one in that com- j munity is interested in the school and the community. In speaking of Dr. Knotts and the fine impression 1 be made on the people in that section ' Mrs. Hunter says that both Dr. Knotts and myself may ccunt on the cooperation of Saluda in the work we are trying to do, and that is what makes me feel good. And we know 1 that that means just what it says. < and that we will have the coopera- i tion of these people, and when I 1 know and feel that, I can work soj much better and the work is so mucn j lighter and so much more easy. j E.
