OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I>ast night a mass meeting in the
interest of our public schools was
held in the auditorium of the Union
High School. The attendance was
small, but the interest was pronounced.
Some very striking facts
were broguht cut by the speakers.
The State of South Carolina per
capita tax for all state government
purposes, including common schools
and higher institutions of learning
is only $3.9G, while the per capita tax
for state purposes in Nevada is $48
per capital. Nevada's per capita tax
is more than eleven times as great as
that of South Carolina.
South Carolina, in 1921 spent, in
round numbers, a hundred million dollars
for automobiles and an additional
forty-seven million for upkeep and op
tration of automobiles. For school
purposes South Carolina spent ten
million dollars. We thus pay almost
fifteen times as much for automobiles
as for schools.
The school are the chief concern of
the citizenship. The boys and girls
are our chief asset. The people are
willing to vote taxes sufficient to
maintain good schools. The reason
why the schools arc cramped for
funds is because the promoters of education
have not asked for the
amount necessary.
Union city has made wonderful
strides in the development of Wr
school system firing the last quarter
of ^century review of the JMH
denrn our present attainment. We
have gone far; the people are willing
to go yet farther.
Union needs a school auditorium,
tin 11 n nnnm mnrl ato thn PTltl !*P

community. This building should be
distinct and separate from any school
building now in existence. All the
schools could nssemble there upon
stated occasions, and the public could
use this auditorium for all public
featherings that would require the
assembling of all the people ?
?o?
The schools in the country districts
should be strengthened. The school
year should be lengthened. The small
schools should be consolidated. Better
equipment should be forthcoming.
The weak districts should be h-dped
hv the stronger districts.
?o?
Union schools, under the leadership
of Superintendent Davis Jeffries, led
the state in the matter of establishing
night schools. More than 20 years
ago night schools were put in operation
in Union. There are now several
right schools in the county, and, but
for the lack of funds, there would be
a larger number of such schools.
?o?
Dr. Ellerbe, Senator T. C. Duncas,
Representative A. G. Kennedy aa<l
Representative Jno. K. Hamblin united
in expressing approval of any forward-looking
plan for the further development
of the public schools of
Union and Union County. They are
in hearty accord with any wise plan
to improve the schools. They will,
in all probability, give the voters of
Union Coxmty an opportunity to express
themselves upon the great work
of advancing the schools of the county
?O?
The stigma of illiteracy that mars
the fair name of the state is rapidly
being wiped out. South Carolina has
the distinction of having made the
highest average in the reduction of
illiteracy within her borders during
1921 of any state in the Union.
The above mentioned thoughts were
brought out at the mass meeting last
night. A committee of ten was appointed
to go to Columbia to attend
the state meeting to be held there
in the near future.
A school for women politicians has j
been opened in Akron, O.

Judge Fe&therstone's
Suggestion!
(News and Courier)
With the suggestion of Judge C. C,
Teatherstone that the time is coming
when all punishment by the courts
will be inflicted for the sake of reform
and not for the sake of punishment,
wt do not in the least agree. Men are
executed or put into prison not in
their own interest, but in the interest
of society. No other plan has ever
been devised for compelling respect
for the rights of others; and while
it is highly advisable on every account
that prisons should be so conducted
that those who are sent there should
be turned out chastened rather than
hardened, and better men rather than
worse men, nevertheless the fact remains
that the effect on the prisoner
of his incarceration is and must remain
a matter of secondary consideration.
The important thing is to
provide for society such protection as
can be had in depriving of their liberty
men who break the laws which
society has made in the general interest.
But while this idea of Judge Featherstone's
seems to us a mistaken one
hi.- suggestion that there should be
great uniformity in the sentences
imposed by the courts in ..his State
is. we think, a proposal calculated, if
it can be acted upon, to produce excellent
results. Much of the criticism
which is heard of the courts is in connection
with this matter of sentencea
and the feeling is strong that there iA
^grea t^^dancc in the attitude or
v iew that a matter of this kind should j
te governed as *far as possible by a/j
general and well-considered policy has/
much to commend it. A conference* |
of all the judges, such as he suggests^
to work out such a policy, might well
prove exceedingly helpful.
An Appeal to Teachers
The following letter written by Miss
Nellie Crouch, a former school teacher
who is now suffering from the
dread disease, tuberculosis, at Ridgewood
Tuberculosis Camp in Columbia,
should make a touching appeal to every
man, woman and child in South
Carolina. This letter from Miss
Crouch is a solemn warning and a
plea for aid from all in the fight
against the "Great White Plague":
"I have ju">t beard that you are
writing to the teachers asking a special
effort from them in the Christmas
Seal Sale this year. Would a letter
fiom an old friend and patient help
ar.y ?
"When I taught, I was not interested
in this work to any great extent?so
many things crowded it out.
I did not realize then that tuberculosis
was really a menace to me and
to the children I taught.
Now that I know, it is too late
foi me to help you as a teacher?I
must be on my back for a long, long
time yet, after eight years of fighting.
Perhaps my experience and that
of my shack mate, Frances Puritt,
another teacher, who is paying the
price, might be the means of bringing
home to others of our profession the
terrible fuct that the school room
furnishes too many victims to this
disease, which can be prevented.
"As the buying' and selling of the
bonds and little sea's are the means of
defeating the enemy and saving lives,
surely the teachers who know will
back you up. I have faith in their
willingness to serve where they know
the need.
"Sincerely yours,
"Nellie Crouch."
Free yourself from your
cough and your cold. Disagreeable

During the Gipsy Smith meeting
many people pledged their allegiance
to Christ, and these suggestions are
oil ered with the hope that they will
help smooth the way of those who
Ir.ve taken Christ for their Master.
At the end of this article there art
a number of choice Bible verses,
write them in a memorandum book,
g.ving the references of the book ana
chapter of the Bible from which they
were obtained. Form the habit of
learning one each day. Daily repeat
a number of them (not the same each
time) so that they will not be forgotten.
Try to live by them and accoiding
to what they teach. ,
Head carefully in the Bible every
day, and learn how God wants you
o live. When you read it, with ink
understcore the lines of verses which
aie especially helpful. If you have
',ime?and try to find time?often
read a whole book of the Bible
(James, for instance) at a sitting. Try
to read the Bible through at least
three or four times a year.
Do not take some man or woman
tor your model, but let nothing less
than Christ be your ideal, and try to
make His standards yours
Try to spend much time ii. j rayej.

To Invade Arctic
Wastes in Seaplane
Detroit, Dec. 8.?In a giant seaplane,
a party of Detroit and New
York sportsmen will invade the great
wastes of the arctic next summer on
what is regarded as a most unusual
hunting trip if present plans are carried
out. Members of the party intend
to so completely outfit the plane
that it will match the modern parlor
car for convenience and comfort.
The trip will have as its objective
the land which heretofore has been
known only to the dog train.
Included in uie party will be Inglis
M. Uppercu and Charles F. Redden
of New York, Howard E. Coffin, Harold
H. Emmons, William E. Metzger
and Dr. James W. I.. J of Detroit,
men prominent in the airplane and
motor worlds.
The plane, which now is being especially
constructed at Keyport, N.
will take an all water route to the
far northern bay. It is planned to
leave New York about July 1, thence
to Montreal and Moose Factory. The
Hudson Bay territory will be entered
from the latter station.
The equipment of the plane will
include compartment sleeping quarters,
with an observation room forward,
an electrically equipped kitchenette,
an armory, a galley and
) large storage rooms. It is announced
that arrangements have been made
with the Hudson Bay Company for
gasoline and other supplies.
In discussing the proposed trip, Mr.
Redden said: "It was after operating
passenger-carrying craft for
three years and having flown more
than 1,000,000 passenger miles without
a?mishap that I concluded properly
regulated flying would enable us
to safely reacb Hudson Bay."

I Automobiles Build Fortunes
1 For Lucky Mary landers
Baltimore^ Dec. 8.?Twelve ye<i?g
i ago the Pennsylvania Railroad gave
- away an old bridge over the Susque,
hanna River at Havre de Grace to
I private interests; the building o.fva
i new bridge had made it, apparently,
t valueless. Automobiles ever since
' have been crossing the structure in
> increasing numbers, and the men who
got the bridge for nothing in 1910
1 recently sold it to the state of Mary>
land for $585,000. And^ in the 12
i years it was in their possession, they
i pocketed $3?0,000 in dividends, all in
toll charges collected from motor
' car?." ttu*it.si\ ' '
1 WHen the new brid ge made the old |
1 one of doubtful use, the railroad company
offered it first to the state and
I then to the county, but without success.
If ho one accepted \i, thecom.
pany was confronted with the nices
i sity of removing it, which would
' have been very expensive. So finally
the company changed it from a railroad
bridge to a highway bridge/ and
. considered itself lucky in finding a
r group of Rfaryland men who con'
sented to accept the structure, which
' originally had cost $2,090,000, as a
gdt
1 The recipients put up $700 to or'
ganize a company. Last year the net
returns from the bridge were $65,000.
The state will continue to collect tolls
until 1938, by which date it estimates
( the proceeds will retire the bonds issued
against the purchase price of
. $585,000.
Water System at
Cedar Springs
Spartanburg, Dec. 6.?The modem
water and fire protection system
at the South Carolina School for the
Deaf and Blind at Cedar Springs was
completed yesterday, the work being
supervised by R. A. Jeffries, for many
years engineer of the Spartanburg
water works plant.
In installing the new system at
Cedar Springs the hydrans, valves,
etc., are so arranged as to l>e interchangeable
with the fire fighting machinery
and appliances of the Spartanburg
fire department; so that in
case of an emergency the Spartanburg
firemen could render effective
service in fighting fire at the state institution.
The new water system consists of
two big tanks, one of 60,000 gallon
capacity and one 10,000 gallons. The
water supply is secured from the big
spring on the institution's' grounds, a
quarter of a mile away, where a brick
pump house encloses two modern,
adequate pumps* which bring the
vater up to the tgnks.

Vienna, Dec. A8.?Once the sport I.
>nly for the aristocracy, shooting is
>ecoming the pastime of the masses
n Austria. FevJ countries are so
plentifully stocked with game of
?very kind, furred and feathered, and
.he large estates have been splendidly
preserved for centuries. The great
European stag, smaller deer, and
:hamois are still abundant, while
pheasants of various kinds, partridge
and quail, woodcock, snipe and other
game birds, not to mention the great
flocks of wild fowl along the Danube
and the marshy lakes furnish excellent
sport.
Today many^f the once rich landowners
are no longer able to keep up
their shootings, with the necessary
armies of gamekeepers and other
heavy expenses and the properties
are being rented. Of those offered
this autumn, 16 large estates have
been taken over by peasant shooting
clubs.
