THROUGH THESCHOOL YET KNOWS NOTHING / x '< A Light Skimming Through Books Does Not Constitute Education CIMn TUC PAIIQC r IIV L/ IIIL. unu?ju < APPLY THE REMEDY Pupils in High Grades Cannot Teach Anything to Those of the Lower. In some of the high schools of the day an investigation shows that I either the pupils are advanced too fast over ground that they cannot readily grasp; or else the children of this day are too low in mentality to learn as much as they should in n stated time. Why do we say this? Because we find children in the ninth grade who cannot teach anything whatever to pupils in the sixth grade and perhaps to a great extent in the still lower grades. This sl*t>ws that those in the higher grades who can-not prove that they are reasonably 0well up in their studies of the lower grades have either been pushed through so fast that they couldn't learn it, or else they were given the chance and were too low in mental make up to take it all in. No matter what the cause of this may be, it ishows a condition that should be remedied as soon as possible. What is education, anyway? Does it mean a light skimming over the ground included in the books, or <joes it mean the training of the mind Jby close study of one or two things until those things have been fully and completely grasped?in other words, ' learned. According to our idea it does not take a library full of books v to give one an education. A few books * "well learned are worth thousasds that have been only lightly read and are still unlearned. We feel sure that there should be more thoroughness in our schools. It appears that many will graduate * at the high school and go on through college and return to the walks of what should be very useful lives, and they will fail in the most ordinary branches. Things should not be that way.

SHERIFF HAS TO EMPLOY OEPOTY Great Increase of Business in His Office is the ? Cause RURAL POLICEMEN GIVES A REMEDY Legislature May Change the Law at Approaching Term in Columbia. As stated elsewhere in a news item this week it will be seen that Sheriff J. A. Lewis has had to employ a special deputy to aid him in attending to the large amount of business that has accumulated in the sheriff's office. I This brings to mind the recommendation of the last grand jury, which included, among other things, a statement that the legislature should pass an act to bring ttonijrj reai^v. under the law which proQdfc^ jf^nrpral policemen.

HAS LOST CHILDREN ! FOR 25 YEARS ; \ i Readers of The Herald will finti | in this issue a- notice which has been inserted by J. P. Graham of Wildwood, Florida, who says in his adver tisement that he wishes to find out where Narcissus Faulk is at this time. She is the wife of Bill Faulk, and twenty-five years ago he says that this woman had his son and two daughters with her and that he has not heard from them since thai time and wishes to find out where they are now, as perhaps his conditions have changed. If there is any one who has any information about the Faulk family they will confer a favor by looking1 up Grahaip's adverment and sending the information to him.

COPAY'S BIG NEED \ , ' k " According to Opinions of Many of the Leading Citizens of the Town CHAMBER OF COMMERCE ASKS SUGGESTIONS Better Facilities for Handling and Marketing Crops of the County. Improved transportation facilities is Conway's greatest need, if the general concensus of opinion is to be considered. A greater mileage of railroad I tracks within the incorporated limits | or adjacent thereto, along adequate side tracks for manufacturing and industrial plans as thought by business mc.n of the town to be prerequisite to substantial growth. As a matter corrolary to the above proposition, the fact is generally admitted that the presence of railroad track through the center of Main Street, for the greater part of it", length, including a large part of the business section of the Town, is a serious menace to the public and the! community's eyesore. The above statements are made on the strength of an inquiry conducted by tjie Conway Chamber of Conmerc?. On November 12, the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce addressed to each member a letter requesting an expression of his opinion afc to the more pressing needs of the town.

FLOYD" COMMISSIONERS MEET ON DEC. 1ST The commissioners appointed by the governor to pass upon the proposition of annexing Floyds Township to Marion County, Messrs. D. V. Richardson and John T. Shelly on the part of Horry County, and Messrs*. B. F. Harrelson and W. C. Hooks on the part of Floyds Township, met last Saturday at the office of I\T. A, Wright. Owing to the fact that proponents had not deposited with the county treasurer the amount vgreet! upon as necessary to cover the expense of tlie annexation, and in view of the further fact that the commissioners did not have with them the petition for the annexation, they adjourned without taking aifv action,! and will meet again on Wednesday, December 1st. quintTttTtaboos ' MODERN JAZ1 Noted Organization Has Popularized Music of the Masters. The Zedeler Quintette, which is to appear here on the evening of Monday, Nov. 29, at Pastime Theater, is a company of brilliant artists which correctly interprets the music of the masters. It is the one organization now doing public work which has fearlessly eliminated all so-called popular numbers from it programs? in spite of the fact that the present day and age is the era of so-called "jazz." Nicoali Zedeler, the director of this noted quintette, carried out an ideal in the organization of this company. He eimplicity believed that the mass es really love good music, and he has shown conclusively that the plain, common, everyday people really do appreciate the best in music. He has gathered a company of five very distinguished instrumentalists. Mr. Zedeler, who formerly wa.^ cello soloist of the Stockholm, Sweden Symphony Orchestra and later with the Bendix New York Symphony Orchestra, is one of the best known cellists of the day. He insists ? u: 1 ) 4-1? (in a iiif?u Mtinuaiu ui uic pi ?mi.> of his company. A combination of violin, cello, piano and a specially constructed reed orpran is used to obtain symphonic effects never before heard in the work of so small a company. Musical critics arc coni stantly amazed with the volume and I character of the numbers offered by the Zedelers. The members of this i organization are in addition to Mr. y Zedeler, Salvador Sala, the young Spanish violinist, Isa<lor Karon, a vounp Russian artist of the violin, ' M iss Ella Portune, soloist, and Miriam Zedeler ,accompanist.

OUT ON PAROLE FROM N. G. PRISON Robert Grainger*. Has Doubtless Forfeited His Rights by Recent Act WAS LONG SENTENCE HE WAS SERVING Shot Town Policeman at Fair Bluff in Riot Recently and Escaped A news item in this paper last week told about a riot at Fair Bluff,. North Carolina, in which it was stated that Robert Grainger and several other men from Horry County had shot the town policeman and exchanged shots with citizens who undertook to arrest the defendants. The article last week stated that I Robert Grainger had been convicted of the crime of maiming another man, whereby he lost one of his eyes, and had been sentenced to serve a term in the Penitentiary. It devel ops that this former crime was committed in the State of North Carolina where he was tried about eight years ago at Whiteville, and that he had been paroled by the Governor of North Carolina. The following information about Robert Grainger's case was published in a recent issue of another paper: "Robert Grainger, son of Cross Grainger, of Wannamaker, who was parolled by the governor of North Carolina while serving a thirty year sentence for having killed a man at Grice's, near Whiteville, some eight years ago, is being hunted by the authorities who claim that he was om of the party who on last Saturday night shot <up a number of the buildings at Fair Bluff, and seriously wounded Chief of Police, Ed- Hammond, also H; V. Norris, of that place. "Grainger's pardon was issued under certain conditions and he was required to report to the authorities and give account of his conduct at certain periods, it was stated. The pardon was issued by the governor of North Carolina after the visit of the boy's mother to the governor's office. It was said that on her visit to the office of the ^governor she car l ied pictures of two sons at that time in army service and it is believed that the pardon was issued largely through sympathy for the woman. "The row at Fair Bluff last Saturday created right much of a sensation and it is reported that authorities there have wired the, governor of the affair and it is believed than Grainger may be taken back to the penitentiary to complete his thirty year sentence 31 arrested. "H. V. Norris, one of the wounded men, i.s a brother-in-law of S* M. Edmunds, telegraph operator at Mutlins." . ROBBER OF MAIL LODGED IN JJUL I There has been a systematic rofc1 bery of the U. S. mails at Conway during the last several months. As a result, on quiet investigation yesterday J. C. Calhoun was arrested by 1 Constable H. N. Sessions and lodged in the county jail to await making of bail. He is the colored man who has been carrying the mail sack# from the postoffice to the trains. Parties who lost packages hav?? been able to identify articles stolen from r the mail sacks. After the arrest a postoffice inspector was notified and is now here checking up the stolen property. hunt?gTmes aids school FUNDS MM '? f" . Nine-twentieths of the entire hunting lec^nse receipts are paid into the state school fund. Now, since Horry i gets an average of about one-eigrhth ; of that fund, instead of onc-fortyi fifth, or more than one-fifth of the v s whole, why should a citizen of this> 1 i county prefer to pay a fine instead ? of taking out lieevsc? f
