SATURDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1982. 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 UI1C III CIO put avvvuutivuMKv ?.>V ? 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. te Our cat says a fit ol anger injures your body very grievouely. Our cat says speak words of wisdom, or hold your peace. Our cat says strive to do your best, and you will do well. * Our cat says make your minutes count and your hours will not be wasted. Our cat says you pay for the things you need, no matter whether you buy them or do not buy them. Our cat says our schools should be liberally sustained. Our cat says much depends upon your viewpoint. 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 phlegm cleared | away; scratchy, tender I membranes soothed; cough H checked; cold broken up.

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.

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."

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.

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. hope ^ ^ I = "7*esy it's a BROWNIE An easily worked camera, Eastman-made, that will j ~ make good nictures for any | one.
