Col. Dixon Barnes.
Brief Sketch of the Brave
Confederate Officer who
Sacrificed his Life for his
Country.

The Columbia State of last
Sunday contains interesting bio.
graphical sketches of several
South Carolina College students
who rendered the Confederacy
valiant service during the civil
war, among the number being
the gallant Col. Dixon Barnes of
Lancaster County. The sketch
of Col. Barnes is as follows:
Dixon Barnes, the son of John
Barnes and Frances Weir, was
born in Lancaster county, near
the Kershaw line about three
miles from Liberty Hill, Oct. 8,
1916. He was member of the
Euphradian society. After his
graduation in 1888 he read law
and was admitted to the bar.
When young man he served
In the Florida war against the
Seminole Indians. He served
In both branches of the State le-
gislature, being senator at the
outbreak of the war. He volun.
teered in the first company
from Lancaster county, the "Lan.
caster Grsys," and went with
them as captain to Charleston.
Soon afterwards he returned to
Lancaster and raised and equip
ped at his own expense compa-
ny, the Lane aster Hornets" OF
which he was unanimously elect
ed captain. This company was
sent to Virginia as part of the
Twelfth regiment, South Carroll
la volunteers. Capt Barnes
rapidly rose through the grades
of major and lieutenant colonel
to that of colonel. At the bat
tie of Sharpsburg, Sept. II, 1862,
he was mortally wounded while
bravely leading his men in a
charge. He was the last colo.
mel living In the brigade and it
is said that he had his commits
sion as general when he fell. He
died in Charlestown, w. Va,
Sept. 81, 1862.

The Public School.
Its Close Relation to Every
Farnily--The Responsibility
Resting on Teachers and
Parents--Why Some Pu-
pills do not Make Progress
The Cigarette Habit.
Written for The News.

Inc puDllc school is vital
factor in the life of any communi-
ty.- 1t comes in close contact
with every family. 1t has tre-
mendous responsibilities resting
upon it. The veal or the woe of
the child is often determined by
the action and character and at
tltude of the teacher. Certainly
the teacher is held-and Justly
held--responsible in "a large
measure, for he scholarship.
character, and general habits of
the pupils. If teacher, a physi-
clan, lawyer or any man in pub
lie service neglects his duty, is
incompetent to do his work, or
conducts himself in any way not
becoming the dignity of his call
ing, then we say that he should
be severely censured.
On the other hand, there are
often great and powerful forces
of evil operating on the life and
character of the pupil that lie
beyond the power of the school
to rectify. The attitude of Tho
parent towards the school pro-
duces powerful effect upon the
pupil. The school year is rapidly
approaching close. What has
been your attitude towards the
school in general and the individ- :
ual teachers in particular d? Has
your conversation at all times
been such as would cause your
children to respect authority g
Have you impressed upon your
child the importance of being in
his place every day, or have you
for trivial and unimportant res-
sons allowed your child to re-
main at home We are told that
sometimes as many as one-third
of the pupils are absent from a
grade. How in the name OF rea

when the pupil is at home p
How many times have you writ
ten the familiar, "Please excuse"
when you knew down in YOUR
heart that you were imposing on
the school and taking advantage
of your position as parent? Of
course there are times when alb

we say unhesitatingly that we
parents could cause great i'm
provement along this line.
We understand that cigarette
smoking is absolutely forbidden
on the school grounds, and. that
scarcely a day passes that some
warning is not given against the
evils OF the cigarette habit
Nevertheless, there is a large
number of cigarette smokers
among our school pupils. We do
not hold the school responsible
for this. We rather sympathize
with the teacher who has to do
with a mind enervated by the
nicotine poison. Does your boy
smoke ? A few days ago we heard
a parent say that he was satisfied
that his boy did not smoke ciga-
rettes. Would that he had the

ART AND THE AUTOMOBILE

When Mr.. Partridge the sculptor, said that
art was suffering from the automobile craze
he felt, we suppose that he was utterlng q
just complaint, greatly does humanity over
estimate the importance OF its own concerns.
The music of the spheres makes discord with
our penny whistles. We purpose to examine
the justice of Mr.. Partridge's complaint In the
broad light Of human development AS
derstand it he does not mean that artists are
negecting art for the temptations of the au-
tomoble-they mostly affect trolley cars-but
that art languishes for patrons who burn
ing up in gasolene the money they used to
spend on oil in painting. When man is stock
ing his private garage with machines" from
a runabout to a racer, he must economize some
where and we can readily imagine a pro-
gressive person selling an old master to buy
the latest 1O0horsepower motor in order that
he may have his own private railroad, rolling
stock and casualty list 1t matters TO Mr..
Partridge and his brothers of brushes and
chises, but does it really matter to humanity?
Culture suffers, but speed gains, and is not
speed, after ALL the natural and characteristic
development of humanity? Culture has to be
enforced by womens clubs and lyceums and
lectures and frowning public opinion while
speed is indigenous and fOurlshing. Man,

where. We look vainly in this years alma
two thousand years Phidias and Praxiteles
have held the record in sculpture, and that is
enough TO bore a race whose pride is In prog

will contend that recent painters have sur.
passed Michael Angelo, Raphael and Titan
II artists will arise with reasonable frequency
and beat the records of Phidias and Michael
Angelo the world will take notice. but so long
as the arts are content to stand still for four
or hve centuries humanity is going to bestow
Its interest and enthusiasm on some more pro-
gressive form of sport. The thing in which
records are of the shortest duration properly

In that Manner but, as has already been men-
toned. Captain Wainwright insists that broad
side fire is of greater Importance than fore and
aft fire. 1t will be seen, then, that the state
ment that the Navy Department contemplated
the building of a ship that would be more
powerful than the Dreadnought was not with
out foundation.
Whether, everything considered, extremely
large battleships or vessels OF moderate dis
placement are preferable Is question on
which there is yet no agreement among naval
experts. More than one high authority dis
sents from the opinions expressed by Captain
Wainwright but he presents his side of the
case with cleaTness and cogency.

while man has rolled up information ike

philosophy is painfully near standstlll COM
pared with the really essential and character
istic development of humanity. Aristotle Is
vastly nearer to Spencer than the ancestral
man afoot is to the man in the flying machine.
We suggest that locomotion is the true stand
ard of human development. We should divide
the history of humanity into the ArbOreal Age,
the Pedestrian Age the Horseback Age, the
Railroad Age and the coming Aeromotor Age.
The arboreal man, whose activities were greatly
circumscribed, put his best foot foremost when
he left the treetops for the greensward. Con-
sider again, the rise i'll the scale of develop

horseback. OF the pedestrian we have queer
survivals even to this day, but 'the man on
horseback" still remains Il very respectable
figure. The inventor of horseback riding
anciently wOrshipped Il demigod, called
Centaur, and esteemed a wonderful teacher
He was perhaps, the worlds greatest in
ventor. and he contributed most to improve
mans facilities of motion and speed. The
railroad was the next step forward but the
automobile far surpasses that, for it gives the
speed of the railroad without the restraint of
tracks. 1t is mans greatest achievement in
mobility to date. But the future is big with
promise. The flying machine will leave man

Human prOgress-and we all give full faith
