STRICKLIN, Editor and Manager. , Successor to the Cheraw Reporter which was established July 9, 1885, and entered as Second Class matter i at Cheraw, S. C. RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS. The greater iufluence of the rural schools upon the surrounding communities, homes and industry is to be given a practical test in Kansas this fall and coming winter as the result of the intention expressed by more than S00 rural school teachers to initiate social center activity in connection with their school work during the approaching school year. In fourteen counties of the state, practically every school house is to be a community center. About the rural school, there natur- , ally revolves most that makes for the community spirit in the country and small villages. Properly set to work for the uplift and upbuilding of the community, this school has a far reaching influence and power for rural welfare. To exert this influence, however, the rural school must be in charge of a teacher willing to and * capable of directing social center j activities from the forum W the public school. Kansas is undertaking to inspire ' its rural teachers to romote social J center work. It is trying to train them, which is even more important. What Kansas is doing, other states , should do and they may do it in the same manner. Make the rural school a social center with a teacher willing and caDable of directing community . movement for the general good. 1 Here's 'how they are doing it in j Kansas: a speaker from the rural service department of the state agricul- ^ tural -college expension division atthe various county teachers' . institututes, at each one of which he ' presents practical definite methods for making rural schools community centers. Among things he proposes are an open forum in which subjects of interest to farmers may be discussed, traveling libraries, art collection for school room wallsand such things. The result of these lectures before the teachers' institutes has been unusual. Fourteen institutes have been visited and hundreds of teachers are announcing that they will adopt the plan outlined by the speaker. This is the season of the teachers' ( institute in this state. Why not have a speaker on hand to promote rural social centers here? 1 The Newberry Herald and News , the strongest supporter In '.he S?t;?:a of , Governor Hleaso. speaks of l)r. Mc!n- , . tosh as follows: "We have known Dr. Mcintosh for many years and we j know him to he an honorable and an upright citizen and one who speaks ho truth and in this ease there could bp no motive for speaking anything | else. He is not in politics and we know him well enough to believe that j he would not make a false statement |< to help or hurt any one. He is not h that type of man." j; On His Way. | ^ "Why doesn't that dachshund come when I call him? The idea of sulk- ! lng on me." ' He's coming as fast as he can," said the man's wife. "He's got his front legs started."?Washington Herald. Dally Thought. Give us. oh, give us, the man who sings at his work. He does more in the same time?he will do it better? , he will persevere longer.?Thomaa . Carlyle. j Caustic Papa. "He looks like a fool!" "But, papa, he asked me to marry him." "He has? Well, don't ever tell me I can't I size up people."?Houston Post. j | i 1 When Love Cools. ' Many an engagement has been ' j broken off through a misunderstanding , ?each thinking the other had money. | 1 What Does W. F. Stevenson Stand For? The slip of a decimal point in last veek's advertisement made the same state that South Carolina's share of Ifce money wasted in rivers, creeks and harbors was $48,000,000.00 when it should have been $4,800,000.00, and the statement should be so modified. In his speeches foe stands for cutting off waste like this, and for spending the money on Post Roads under wise supervision and skillfull construction. He stands against taxng the people as a whole for the benefit of the few rich shipowners who use the Panama Canal, and would not have so voted if he had been in congress?and there he differs ^rom his opponent who voted against President Wilson's policy and tried to fasten the burden of the maintenance of the canal on all the people while the few rich ship owners engaged in the coastwise trade used it free. His speeches are certainly approved by those who hear them. The Chester Semi-Weekly News says of his speech in Chester July 25th: " This left the floor entirely to the Oberaw candidate, W. F. Stevenson, vho was given a tremendous ovation. The crowd certainly looked like it was for him as he was followed closely throughout his speech, which was over an hour, and was vociferously applauded." And the same paper said editorially >n July 28th: "W. F. Stevenson, candidate for Congress from this District, made an imjressive speech in the Court House ast Saturday. Mr. Stevenson is a man of unusual ability and has had a great deal of legislative experience and the* voters of the fifth distri.t have the opportunity to elect a man to represent them in Congress wfto is altogether fearless when it comes to doing and working for those things hat makes for the best interests of he people generally. Mr. Stevenson, f elected, will represent his district impartially with honor to 'himself md satisfaction to his constituents, le is considered one of the strong;st laweyers in the State and his iroad legal training more thoroughly ;quips him to confront the great publia uestlons that come up in the National Congress. 100 TEST QUALITY ENVELOPES with your name and return address printed on them, sent post paid for only rpntfi L/ v/v/xx Xo matter who jou arc. what your msinoss.
