THE RURAL SCHOOL.
Rural betterment has to deal with
three essential agencies of the country
life?the farm home, the church
and the school. Home economics
and the coming of rural free mail
delivery and telephones is taking care
r*of the home proposition. The church
is receiving scant attention as yet
while the nation is coming to consider
just now the needs?vital needs?of
the schools. It is worth noting in
passing that the eastern and middle
western states, prcnessing the best
educational facilities in the world,
are far behind in their rural schools,
wnich. long neglected, have fallen into
decay.
The state of Ohio, following a
year's survey of the situation, adopted
laws to supervise, standardize and
improve its country schools, laws
passed in the face of aroused opposition
coming, strangely enough,
from the rural districts themselves.
? rimiinil>iMiL?. h ii ~ iiiihn i i T im ~
ilar survey and laws are to follow.
New York pedagogues held a convention
last week and spent foiir days

Futhetfiowbs* are to be found concrSWlWti'mples
of ideal rural education.
Minnesota, for instance, provide?
manual training, domestic science
and agricultural work, but Minnesota
is the exception. The fact is
simply this,?tiiat rural education is
chaotic, ancient and in dire need of
remedy. The lesults in Ohio, Pennsylvania.
New York and a few other
states will he .va'chei with interest.
Vermont, whicn gives money to colleges,
has been told by experts that
the state would profit more by expending
the same appropriations on ttio
elimentary sohoj's. anu t!>\ saintmight
be said of South Caro'ina.
The country school should be a
6acred shrine of learning where it
is possiblej to teach the things to
make rural life happier mid better
and to set the example for community
welfare.
American rural life naturally conv
tors about who school. Such rural
life has a predominating community
spirit, i nis spirit socks an agency
of outlet. This agency is to bo
found in he schoolhouse, which is
the natural auditorium, theatre, lecture
room and recreation spot for
country folks.
Rural schools should have been put
first on the list in educational improvement
by the South Carolina Legislature
which is now dragging its
weary self to a close.

McBee has received a new impetus.
The much talked of and long hoped
for union station has at last become a
reality. Ground was broken Monday

contract calls for its completion by
June 1st. The building proper will
be 30V6 feet wide by 76 feet long, one
sa>ry high, and will have a concrete
floor and in front a walk 500 feet long

eral new tracks will be laid and the

The snow which started falling
here Wednesday 'afternoon pt ^.'4.1'
and continued throughout the nigh)
and untfl 10 o'clock the following
morning, was Che deepest seen here
in ten years, according to some ol
our oldest citizens. The average
depth was near sixteen inches anc
in places the drifts measured severa
feet. Snow ball fights, dove shooting
and rabbit hunting were the order
of the day. In some cases'the fuel
ran out but in the majority of cases
the citizens were prepared, and consequently
'very little suffering has
been reported. Considerable damage
was done the city water works. Foi
several hours at a time the town was
without water but the pipes were
quickly mended and conditions placec
in a normal condition again. Most 01
the snow, except in spots, has disappeared.
It has been announced by the civil
engineers who have the matter in
charge, that the proposed route for
<he new sand-clay road. Extending
north of McEee nine and one hall
miles to the township line, has beer
surveyed and that the board of

to ba "sed as a part of their line
through the township. Road building
materia! was found to be plentiful
along the proposed route; the aver
age haul being about six hundred
yards. There are several prospective
buyers for the $40,000 bond issue
in view, and as soon as a favorable
report from '.he New York firm ot
lawyers who have the issue under investigation
as to its legality, is returned.

attack on X. B. Barnwell, member
of the house from Charleston.
' Mr. Barnwell rose to a point of
1 order when the governor referred to
L him as acting in a cowardly manner.
' It took Mr. ' Barnwell only a few
! seconds to advance through the net^
work of chairs to the speaker's stand
' where the governor was delivering his
' address. Disorder reigned. There
' was a general uproar. It seemed as
if the entire legislative body would
be thrown into a fight. Members
' rushed between Mr. Barnwell and the
' governor and prevented a fight on
the speaker's stand.
1 When the governor left the hall
! Mr. Stevenso^ was among those to
move toward the door. Mr. Steven1
ston went, he said, for the purpose
! of telling the governor that he had

. Lrws Against Beggars,..,--^
Begging wjis a capital offense in
England in the days of Henry VIII..
when the laws were very severe
against beggars, and under a statute
passed in that reign any one caught
begging for the first time, being neither
aged nor inlirm. was whipped at
file cart's tail, if caught a second
time his ear was slit or bored through
with a hot iron. If caught a third time
he suffered death as a felon unless
some honest person having ?10 in
goods or -jo shillings in land or some
householder approved by the justices
would take tin* oirender into ins service
for two years, entering into a howd
of ?10. So the law of Kuglnnd remained
for sixty years.

An old Irishwoman traveling on n
train one day noticed that two young
men who were fellow passengers and
who were traveling on passes did nol
pay. Turning to them, she said:
"How does it come that you young
men do not pay. while an old woman
like me has to pay?"
"Oh." they explained, "we are traveling
on our looks."
She looked from one to the other a
few seconds and then said. "Sure, and
you must be near your Journey's end."
