AULJL, EDITOR Tuesday, November 21, 1922. v " J ?? ; TURNED OVER TO CIVIC ASSO-' CIATION The edition of The Herald and News of December 1 will be in tho hands of the Civic association of Newberry. The advertisements and the business end is theirs. We arc * only going to print it for them. They furnish the advertisements r.na make the contracts and collect the money j for that paper and give the publisher' a commission on all .business carried in the paper. Ar.d we have contracted to print a minimum number of, copies of u,000 which is some TOO; more than our regular edition and ? I we may print more than that number. It depends somewhat upon'^c amount of business ;which may .|| sfe cured from tile advertising p^bli&i We have one or two contracts b^ti^ year and it is understood that ifitije & * copy from these ccntracts calls tor ^n insertion on that date we will have to carry out the contract. All, or most all, of the advertising in The^if&raPS and News is on the flat rate basis, and each issue stands alone and for itself. i. We feel that we should make this statement in -advance so that ;aU .advertisers might be apprised of'-the fact that the issue of December 1 is in the hands-of the Civic assoc^tr.on. ^_ We are trying to get oixLisaJvedule ac:in. Last issue we made all the mail on time except Kinards>m<1 ru? || ?A v ^ the C. N. & L. We hop?, to inaire that from now on, but you can neyerf^ell. . Church is out. The do^ar salp closed on Saturday nigh*! 08 <P fairly well though it should have been better. Wc will correct the i;st and make the credits just as's^olTuS we can get to it. We are still short on help ana with the education edition on hand for the next two weeks we may not be able to get the list credited. But we will do the best we can. The nicest piece of road we have seen in Newberry is the road out by Helena and just beyond % m oh the road to Tranwood school. The top s ; soil used was the right kind, and it was properly mixed and tfre road is as smooth as a plank that is dressed. ? ? ~ A* i iv The read to Whitiaire is riglit also. In fact it is cne among the best v- of the highways in the county. It is a pleasure to drive* to Wh'.tmir-e now.' EE \ ; T. J. W. is after the highway commission about the road that is going to be built out by Union school. They do need a road down that side. We understand that the work of laying out the road is now in progress and we must wait in patience ,,a.nd the road will come. So the road from Po-; maria to Little Mountain is badly j Tteprfod. and then the crosc road out ;by St. Pauls church, and down to Pomaria should be built. Personally we would like to see the road across here go by Jolly Street school and tiJce that route to Pomarla, but erithi er one will help. , . If you want to see some pretty disi play windows take a look at the four to the store of the American Sales i company. They give the place the metropolitan look and would do credit to Atlanta. And Mr. Pintchuck says he has not yet done what he is goinQ: to do, when his fixtures come, in the matter of having pretty display win-. dows. It is evidence of several things, it means that the town is arrowing and making an effort to go forward, and :<i stresses the fact that the merchant who has the nice windows takes a pride in his store and his business and w:?ts to make the very best appearance that Jte can aad aiso make his place attractive, and that means a whole lot for the merchant and for the town also. Let us r II t- - to have attractive windows. ' f These streets such as Glenn on which the traveler enters the* .-town,' that is those leading inio the highways, should be kept at least as good as the highway. We do r.ot like to hear people say, well, we must be in town from the condition of the ro:d,' + Virt .-trviof Kn: *">cr nUirh chilli ths highway. And if you will ride out Glenn and most of the ethers leading into the highways you will find they are rough and bad and keep you jolting along. College stree"" docs well and so does Main street ou . to the highway, but -Glenn and Boundary are especially bad. Fix 'em up a I title, town folk, please. Mr. Rhyne has done grer.t thin? for Christian education in that gift he has recently made to Lenoir college in Hickory, N. C., and the beaU ty s.bout it, he gave the money while he is still living. That is the way to do, if you have the money and expect to give any of it to the use of those things which will help, give it !while you live so that you may see and enjoy the blessing the gift has been. Now if some of the wealthy friends of Newberry college, and some who wanted to do something really worth while, would just give old Newberry a couple hundred thousand, even, it would be a great' blessing to the Chrsitian education of, the youth of the land, and that is the! only sort of education that is going to furnish the leaven and the bailast to keep the old ship of sate from go-: ing asea on the breakers and. well,' the great educational need today is | to teach more of the precepts of the j golden rule.

We must have more money! >om somewhere if we are to run the | schools on the basis we have ceenj running, and all we ask is for the legislature to furnish the money to carry out its own acts or repeal them so that thl trustees may know what they are doing when they elect teachers.

At this meeting I would bo glad to see any citizen of the county, man or woman, as they ^re the j people who are interested in the rural school problem as well as the teachers and trustees. Come out andj take part in the deliberations. We have a fine auditorium in the high school building and can seat comfortably several hundred people, and we will be pleased to see the auditofin s\ r> We are arranging to observe National Education week in this county, December 3-9 inclusive. The pastors of the various churches in the county are requested to preach a sermon on education on Sunday, December 3, and a program has been arranged for each day during the school week, and on Saturday we hope to arrange one or two rallies in the county where education will be the topic for discussion. The purpose is to arouse an interest in education and especially to improve conditions in our rural schools. To make the people of the rural districts see the importance and *vhe neefs^t- of these children an e-qr.:;i with the other children of the county. I hope we may be able to get the schedule arranged in time for publication in the next p:2p=r, and also that The Observed may publish it. On Tuesday, lvVlir*h ic A ociom o + nrl ct> /->+ " <-w?

The personnel and schedule for this day will be arranged at once. I have promised the legion that the trustees would furnish th(* flag pole 2nd that the teachers would arrange for seme one to accept the flag in a short talk. I hope the trustees will see to it that the pole is ready, and that the teachers will provide some one. from the siudent body preferably, to accept the fla;?. We want all of us to cooperate and make this week memorable in the j educational historv in t.h:R MimM- i We are hoping to have a committee j visit every school every day. during i the week, and we want to see some j of the pitrons of the school, all of j them in fact, at the school when the visitors arrive so thit the visitors' may know that the patrons knowj where the school house is. You will # recall that last year we made a visit to every school in the county in one day, and the visit did a lot of good in arousing an interest in tho community in the school. The visit will not last more than thirty minutes, and the schedule will be printed so that you may not have to lose much time in meeting the visitors, and I am sure if these men and women who will visit your school during the week can have sufficient interest to take of their rtime to pay you a visit in the interest of your boys and girls, that you will be willing to take the time to meet them and let them know that you too are interested in V. ?

The ladies of the 'civic association i bf Newberry are going: to take the j responsibility of getting out an education edition of The Herald and News on December 1, and I have promised to give them what assistance I con* J I have asked every teacher or principal of every school, so far as I have been able, to write me a short history of the school, showing mainly the progress and j growth of the school in their commu-j nity for the last dozen years at least, i and I hope they will comply with this' request. As education week is mainly to arouse an interest in the rural ihjs PfTt.'nn of the oaner will have in mind mainly the rural schools! also, and I am very anxious to have a I word from each school. The time is f^hort and it will take some hurtling to get up these articles, and also get out the paper with our limited force, but we will do the best we can. If you are going to write the story please send it in at once, because wehave to begin printing this week in order to publish on time. We would like to (have an article from each school and would like to have the copy now. Give 'is your support and encouragement in this effort to help your community. Last Wednesday I made a visit to the school^ at Independence or Reederville. This school is getting along fine and Miss Richey ar.d Miss Mann the doing splendid work here. In going over I made a brief stop at Jala-| pa. I drove by the Bush River negro j school where the district the past! summer put up a new building. The negroes asked me to come out. The j teacher at this school, Minnie Grigs-j by, is a good teacher and she is also j a good worker and deos no? pack any foolishness into the heads of the children. They are raising money to furnish the class room and have been getting along fine fcr these times, j Coming back I spent some time with; Misses Monts and Livingston at the] Bush River school. These young la-J dies taught this school last year and; y 1 1 1 ?^/l I they are capaDie Lsacnei'i miu workers and everything seems to be j getting along nicely out here. I also stopped to see the ' Tranwo~a school with Miss Nancy Werts as teacher. They have only one teacher again this year ,ar.d Miss Nancy is doing some good and efficient work for the children here and the school is getting along nicely. On Friday I went over to Whitmire with a committee of ladies who are working up the education edition of The Herald and News, and Mrs. J. E. Summer drove her car and I must say she is the kind of driver 1 like to have at the wheel when I am riding in the rear seat. She is careful and handles her car beautifully. Mrs. R. H. Wright and Mrs. Thad McCrackin and Mrs. Claude Sanders were in the party. They saw the merchants and all of them responded beautifully to the request for ads in the education edition, and it was just as I expected, Whitmire always does things jnd does them right now. I made a brief stop at Mollohon "school, taught this year by Mrs. T. J. Abrams. A great manv of the children of the commu nity are not yet in - school evidently, because the enrolment this year is only about 13 up to this time and last yc-ir there were more than twenty. While at Whitmire I visited some of the rooms in the school. There is a fine school here now. They have twelve teachers and something over 400 hundred children. Ten years ago there were two teachers and not more than forty or fifty children. Great growth and progress in this school in the decade. E. H. A. Did the New York Democrats nominate Dr. Copeland for senator with the thought that politics in their state needs doctoring? Here's an item from the Florida Times-Union: "During the electric storm last Monday. Mr. Clyde Andersen's horse was killed by lightning sanding near a tree.'' Very careless of some one to leave "lightning standing near a tree."'
