THURSDAY APRIL 17, 1919.
COME ALL YE FAITHFUL
Easter time is here?the heart
turns to God in gratitude for the
promise of the spring.
The war is won. a glorious victory
for the principles of justice and
right. Players from millions of
hearts go up in thanksgiving for
their loved one spared to them, for
the end of the period of greatest anguish
the ? world has ever known.
Nights that were spent in watching,
and days in waiting for news, news
that one prayed might never come,
are over.
"Why seek ye the living among
the dead?" the Easter angels sing.
Your loved ones are coming hack to
you, whole and stronger for the experience.
"Is it nothing to you. all ye that
pass by?"?this greatest gilt v.un
which the Father could bless you.
the saving of your boy's life? There
is no adequate way in which gratitude
for this greatest of all blessings
can be shown, hut there is one
way ir. which thankfulness may bo
expressed. It is by helping to insure
the victory already won. by making
it so secure that there will never
again be the necessity for war.
This can be done through the
whole hearted support of the nation's
ideals and principles.Through
the prompt and hearty response of
'he whole countrv to the needs of
the government true praise may he
demonstrated, and the key-stone to
the arch of Victory set. making the
structure firm for all time to come.
Many of the bovs are alreadyback.
others arc coming every day
and perhaps the last will be home
during the summer. Shall we let
them come back while the victory
they won is still unpaid for. before
the key-stone is set?
Faster time?peace time?promise
time?. Fulfill the promise, keep
it on earth forever!
WHY AN EXTRA SESSION?
For some week:; past Governor
Cooper has been practically beseiged
with letters and petitions urging
11 ? <?nccinr? nf th<?
him to can an v*??* ?
South Carolina General Assembly,
for the purpose, ostensibly, of formulating'
and passing a good road
law
Haven't the people, the voters of
the State, had experience enuogh
with its legislative bodies to know
that such a move would only be useless
;inr! extra vegant. Whether or
not the Governor so regards the
matter we do not know, out we dont
believe he is in favor <?f calling an
extra session.
The need of better roads in the
State was never more evident than
at the time of the last session of the
legislature. The need of hotter road
law was never more forcibly
brought to bear epon the members
of that honorable body, and yet,
what did jt do. After remaining in
session for about forty five days
the road ouestion was put to sleep,
and the session adjourned. There
are n<> assurances thai the same
would not be the case if an extra
sesion were called now by the Governor.
Flut one thing is plain, and
that is the enormous expense entailed
upon the taxpayers of the
State to defray the cost of such a
session?something like $150,000 or
$200,000.
And even if tne legislature should
be convened in extra session and by
accident, or otherwise provide a
mad bill, such a measure
6VV"
could n^t become effective short or
the time for the convening of the
next regular session.
The sentiment in Williamsburg
county is against an extra session,
although .no other county in the
State can boast of worse roads.
What \ve would like to see and
here and now recommend that our
county officials get busy and
"freeze" on to a portion of that
federal money allotted to Williamsburg.
under certain specific conditions.
for road improvement work.
Laurie Rhodes of Walterboro. will
spend the term of his natural life in
the state penitentiary, or upon the
public works of Colleton county, as
a result of an attempted criminal a>sault
upon a young white girl near
Dodge, in upper Colleton. The fact
that the negro was so young and
that he was discovered before he
had accomplished his purpose, caused
the jury which tried him to take
a merciful view of the case.

A FT Ell SUCCESSFUL SESSION
The Vox Colore! Gr-ded School ()?
Hemingway, Closes
J he 1018-9 term of the above;
i school has passed into history. We
have had quite a successful term, i
: under the instruction of Mr. G. H. I
Flogler of Marion, and Miss Mabel |
i L. Mack of Walterboro. From all j
view points this has been one of the j
, most successful terms in the history,
of 'he school.
Miss Mack came to us a stranger,!
j .hough ripe in experience as a
litacher, having served seven years.
.She started work with gloves off,
adapted herself to the situation and
eon won a place in the hearts of
the students and patrons. She was
not only useful in the school room,
; i>ut in the church, Sunday School
ami League?being a first class musician
she rendered excellent service. J
j Mr. Flogler's sendees were equal j
to the situation. He was generally:
liked by both the student body and!
the patrons. Mr. Flegler served usj
one term before and during his stay:
with us, u r found no fait with him.1
We always found him straight in
I all his dealings.
The closing was quite a treat. On
A nril f? was eiven a Die-i
nic'at the chool house. The patrons
and friends turned out in big numbers
with the children. We were
highly entertained by the small boys!
in their foot races, bag race, pinebur
race and the baseball game by
the larger boys.
The ladies had quite a nice dinner
prepared which was enjoyed by all.
The commencement program was
rendered at the Methodist church,
to an overflowing audience, Monday
. night, April 7. Never have we wit,
nessed. in this section, such a brilliant
display of action. It would
have been a treat for any one to sit
j look and listen to the little ones as
, they would come upon the stage,
play their parts and come down.
! Not a blunder, everything in fine
order. '
The teachers received commenda[
tion and congratulations from all
. who were present.
! A f?-w of the numbers of interest
were: Scarf drill, Oetct?"Human
' Orchestra", this was an action song,
! by the large girls. Action Song,
J small children?"House Cleaners",
i "Choosing A Dride", "Topsy Tuny"
| Motion song. A solo by Mr. Flegler
and a recitation by Miss Mack.
Aside from these there were recitations,
solos duets dialogs, and Cho1
ruses.
The services of the teachers have
been partly promise 1 for another
year.
