H. Woodward, Conway, S. C. . THURSDAY APRIL 6, 1922 WAY OF EDUCATION | What is education? No matter how we might define it there is one thing we know and that is that it is just what it is, no matter how it is acquired. Some have the idcvi that there is a difference in a college education and one obtained some other way. Hut there is not any difference, becau :e education is (ho same tiling in any j kind of style that it may l>o obtained. Others seem to think that i( can be acquired only in the schools and the colleges of the land. This is another mistake. Wo know men who arc highly educated who never saw the inside of a college. We know some who never saw even the inside of a schoolliouse of the humblest sort and yet they are educated to the highest degree. Some think about education and want it to the greatest extent and never for one moment realize that it is within their power to net just whenever they are willing to make the mental effort to get it. Education is merely the training of the mind to enable it to improve in its power and might and thus increase the creative principle that exists in all humankind. KdisonV idea of an educated man, if he has any such idea, is not to he considered hecause he has tile wrong idea, if he believes that the test of ed .uviti'?n is the same as that which he implied to' applicants for positions .ionic timei ago. His test consisted in selecting! from his list those who could remember the most facts. The idea of edu-! cation is not that. Education has to 1 l>e limited to that which men and women ma\ acquire under conditions laid upon us hy nature itself. Some few make special elTort to train the mind in remembering everything they read or think over. It takes great effort on the part of the mind to do that and also long continued effort; but the mind is trained in only this one way. The successful men and women of this time are those who have trained their minds to retain that which they need and can use while that which they will not need is cast into the discard. It was so with the successful men and women of the past. Those in the future wno will make tine most out of their powers will be those who will know what should be remembered and will ci?->t off and spend no time with the things that are of no use to them. Take the one who shows a pride in retaining in his brain the greatest number of facts and information and it is nothing unusual to find out tlv.it he or she is of no use in any particular thing in lite. He or she is just simply a walking dictionary and nothing more. m A start in llie right way is a great W thing for any in 11 vidua!. Recently! aliout five hundred peoj)le in this county have been started along the way of education !>y ibe efforts of the state dep.ar ir.ent <>!' education in I co-operation with the county superintendent and the Chamber of Commerce of Conway. If those men and women realty wan; n education they now have all they need to get it, provided they are willing to keep on the way. They may not have the money to pay tuition. The. ? ay not be able to support their fami'ie while .spending their l ive in school, hut they can get ,un education by their own efforts if they will. O'hers have dor.e it and they can do it. it fakes some pluck and effort to succeed in an undertaking. U cannot bo done bv sitting down and folding hands. If an education is what they want the thing for them to do is to study and study and keep on at it. o One of the finest little things ever done was the folder entitled, "Beautiful Thoughts," given 'to the pupils lif UlP wi'i 1 i ii tr fin ju in fho Jirlllll schools. It contained some of the host sayings of the men of best minds. The banks of Conway paid for the printing of the work, while to Miss Wil Lou Gray belongs the credit of getting these geni? of thought to gether. This littie book will have its > influence upon the lives of the men 1 and women to whom it was given. The banks deserve credit for their generosity in this matter. Money could not be given in any better way. o In the booklet niven away by the ^^wmks of Conway to the members of; >> ?i ii aiKii-yuur-iutiiit; CIUJSJS uifir <ip^Kars a quotation from Horace Mann the efi'ect that character is what (Bd and the angels know of us; repiHitiort is what men and women think oBus. If left to us we would express it^Hke this: Character is what we really are while reputation is what thA-people think and say we are. Reputation is not always a true index to character and we all know that. o He who is co-operating with you! vill hold up his end of the handspike.) You ran alwnvs tell by watching the way the other fellow is pulling. DICK WRITING ANOTHER NOTE Dear Editor: I went to Conway to court just to meet a lot of my old warm friends. How I did enjoy seeing them! It seems that our hearts did burn with joy within us. After we talked of the joy of the past I saw the courtyards so full of people up there for crime. It didn't use to be this way. And ought not t o be so now. Young' men as the deputies would lead them back and forth from the court to the jail house, how bad it looked! What a bad looking reputation it made for them! It seemed that 95 per cent of the court had whiskey and fighting at the bottom of it, and perhaps more, such as marriages and adulteries: I was informed by two responsible parties of Conway that some of the members of the churches had a petition or some agreement asking the male members not to drink any more for a year. I would like to know what this class of the people joined the church for. If people in the churches are going to drink and make no changes I would like to know wlv.it kind of' :i lio'lil 1 Inn' (liii.L v i V v I I I I ? IV HIV \ (11 Ut The only good 1 can see in such as thai is what money they give I ho preacher and other causes of the church. We can neither fool God nor nan at this. 1 have oftimes been told that in some churches we have checker boards. They look very harmless, but so often lead to a ruined life and to a gambler's life at last. The things that were wrong fifty years ago are wrong today. V. hen leaders hold up such a light as that, how can they ask for better got'er iment ? It is something t ? think about. A lawyer will**! iIce t!'C money f-'om a whi-kev deaiev and f'uhc justice and the strong arm of the state, .and fight principle and the better clement of people for a 'itt'e money. And beg 4lie judge to bp merciful 1 o him. I know they have t > iive 1 v the bad conduct of the country, but there is certain crime 1 lon't see how they cun fight for. Go to the polls and vote to elect a man for sheri'V and other offices for the county end these men that swear to a lie get ii ambush and shoot these officers and then take his blood-money to try and e'ear him so he can go back and do it again. About all the fighting ;md ,11 11,^ i. i -1 ? I'"""' fKJc 1? I III' LI UU'Mc (M li;iIKl ? I ! \ ' I I I 1111" evil. The man that makes itwmd they who buy and sell it are all purgingthomselve.s. They are dangerous citizen;;. Oh God, when will we as a people stand with clean hearts and "lean hards of this awful evil! Don't hide behind anything! Stand ?ace to "-,ce for the .truth. From the little tiny humming bird to .the biggest ostrich on earth have reputations for oir.o good, from the little flea bug >f the different animals to the largelephant that ever lived, and the litVerent insects, most of them have o lething good in their lives. Poor dd alcohol has never had a word of )od spoken of him, and never has a line of good been written for him in any book that has ever been seen. He is the father of troubles, the father of orphanages, the father of the wife's being killed and the children lef\ to an orphanage. He has filled the asylums and paupered homes and prisons with regret. He has taken us from the locomotive and put us pulling eros. cut saws. He has taken us from prominent offices ,tand business places of every kind and have brough; \>,s down into the jaws of poverty, wreck and ruin. Some years ago in Wilmington, N. C\. a bunch of young V'on were standing up in a crowd, drinking. An oid man walked up and l-ked them for a drink. They gave it 'o him and one of them said, "Tramp?" and ho said t"Yes." An "r one of Mie boys said, '"I don't care." He said, "Hoys, don't sa\ that; that is what has brought me to be a tramp, drinking* and don't care." 1 ?aw a trrn p one cob' n'gM at ^u'lins and told him be might go to iiir. i>*?ill and 'ie by the furnaces. He looked so pitiful with h: - whi'e 'ocks of bait' as they hun? down. Ho said to me, "t have once been big ' k<and a broker in Cicada; I 1 eM a prominent ofTice in Canada for Km'1 land; I drew a check one dav for $50,000." said he. ""'he president crone of 11 ,e bent's indorsed it for me." Ho also s:iid, "My >v>nny friend-; hold me up for years, but that demon, drink, led me away from all of this and ;ill that is good and made me a t ram]) in his co'd. cold world: leaves me friendless, hopeless, penniless in this cold world. It will do you the same if you follow it. It ha caused me to a great extent to be without education. It has taken the rich foods off one man's table and left it dry and blank and put it on the other man's table, ft has put cush ion chairs, plush carpets, fine pi.'inos, electric lights and warm beds in some homes for awhile, and in some homes there are no chairs. And it lias robbed other homes of everything and caused them to sleep cold, have bare feet and a leaking house." Your valuable paper can't contain (he crime and hear'aches that have grown from that source. A great deal is said about the boll weevil and how to get rid of him. You will never get rid of him by spraying your cotton or trying to freeze him to death. The fourth chapter of Malachi, beginning with the eighth verse reads thus: "Will a man rob God? Rut ye say wherein have we robbed Thee? In tithes and in offerings. Ye are cursed with a curse; ye have robbed Me, even this whole nation. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if 1 will not open you the windows of Heaven and pour you out a blessing' that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And * will rebuke the demons for your sake and he shall not deslrov the fruits of your ground, neither shaji your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of I hosts, and all nations shall call you blessed for ye shall be the delightsome land saith the Lord of hosts." "If we will give to God's cause and peop'e the truth, and live right and leave oM* shows of every kind, , and church festivals, basket parties, box parties and fruit suppers, Christ' mas trees and waltzing and other kinds of dancing and celebrate Xmax Day and New Year's Day, and nights of all holidays to the glory of God with prayer and other thanksgiving, God wolild remove these things. There is no doubt but what Pharaoh tried to kiM all the frogs and lice and other pestilences that came to Egypt and the people died, the first-born and other pestilences until he agreed for tlie children of Israel to go. We've lied, wo've stolen, we've cheated, we have wet tho cotton before selling it, and we have gambled over it; we've burned it, we've killed one another over it. we have done everything over cotton that we could, so God has turned the little boll weevil loose. An 1 prayer and a Godly life are the only things that will ever move him. Some of you Solomons will laugh at this a- you may road it, but it is true just the same. It was said that a boll weevil .said to a cotton planter. "Let me drive your automobile?" The farmer said, "No sir, you can't J drive mine." Me said, "Yes, I will; i have driven many <>f them under the shelter and 1 will drive youi there yet." Of course you can. read between the lines about the question and see what it means. Three years ago when a little blood money came over the country we thought it was here to stay but it left, like it came, and left the country in a much worse condition than if it hadn't come. Go to church now and you hear one man say to others, "Good morning how is your tobacco plants."? "Mine aint doing so well.' You hear the other man say sometimes; "Mine are almost as big as a dollar." While the poor HJlie preacher is Irvine to preach thirty minutes our minds and hearts aretstill in the tobacco patch and not on God. "From the abundance of* the heart the mouth speakcth." The question is being asked. "What makes money so scarce?" Some say it is politics." 1 am in hopes they will soon get full and fall off. My Lord if they bite this hard in the next three years don't know what the end will be. It this be true it is said that Mr. Hard , ing is .1 missionary Baptist and some of them believe in eloso ComI munion. It looks like it now, if this ! i.; true. It WHS vnirl llm" * -nuM sot out soive fritter trees and they tret an office. But that must have eon a mistake for the nurser> must have been exhausted or this clniate doesn't suit them, anyhow, we have f*1.il?d to get them. I will say further that if the .strong arms of the different States and the U. S. would tHce enough of this ro.ad money to dilch tho rich swamps and hays instead of them freighting in so much fertilizer to try to raise corn with, and put these automobiles under a shelter except when needed our country would he far better off. An automobile is the sorriest thing to farm with I ever saw. It looks like our country is like the girl's sweet heart, it's deformed. The love i.; ; P on one side. 1 love to see education and schools. We give a girl abovt a dollar an hour to stay at a school house, and poor men with from one to ''ivo or six children work from six to six for one dollar or one dollar and a quarter, and his wife for f'f 1 cents a day, to help pay these high schools and road taxes. As 1 have said once before more education, more s 'hools and more ta: c . .?crimes. Time the poor old farmer gets his little lit of sixteen " nt cotton .and ho'l weevil and the fertilizer man gets through with him, i c is almost like the man that drunk and got lost in the woods, lie ^ ?Si JRB Kill imm < turkisi^ Of ( ^11 In a new pc At a price < The same u, Turkish, Vn \ V said when he sobered up he was fifty miles from home and five hundred miles from everywhere else. We are going too fast in some directions. Sometime ago in Georgetown, S. C., the town had put up a speed limit sum. An old darkey driving his ox and cart stopped and read it, it said. "Fifteen miles per hour." So he tin ned his ox around and went hack home and said, "I can't make that," "1 cant make it." So lets go back to the land marks with God and you will find God right where you left him. I wish to say that I intend to write a , book on religion and general principle of character if I ever get able so I can. I will close for this time. I May God bless all that read this. I 1 may write again if this escapes the waste basket. DICK. Box 81, Cerro Gordo, N. C. o TIRED, WEAK AND NERVOUS i Why Are So Many Conway People In This Condition?
