APPEAL TO SONS OF VETERANS.
Effort Being Made to Bring About {
Great Revival of Interest III the Order.

The Herald and News has re-
ceived for publicat ion the follow
ing:
TO the Sons of Confederate
Veterans--- Comrades: At meet
ing Of special committee, appointed
by the South Carolina Division,
United Sons Of Confederate Vetcr-
ans, which was held in Columbia.
June sd, the undersigned were ap-
pointed subcommittee to prepare
an address to those in South Caro-
lima who have the right to join the
organization known as "Unitcd

All male persons are eligible to

and who are the direct descendants
of men who were regularly enrolled
III the army or the navy of the
Confederate States of America, and
who were killed or died in the ser
vice, or were honorably discharged
therefrom, or who served to the
end of the war.
It seems that it should not be
necess ary to urge upon one whose
ancestors lad part in the glorious
record for courage, endurance and
patriotic devotion to duty made by
the soldiers and sailors of the Con-
fcderacy the duty to join an organ

sary, especially as the tenth and
eleventh grades would be small
Divide the town for primary school
purposes into two districts, but let
all the children of both districts
III the fifth, sixth, and seventh
grades go to the old building,
where each of these grades would
be divided into two sections, each
section having its own room and
teacher. There are ten rooms in
the old building, giving four ROOMS
for the first, second, third, and
fourth grades of that districts and
six rooms for the three grades com-
ing from the whole town. The
four primary grades from the second
district would occupy four rooms
i'll the new building and the high
school the other three.
Thus, for all outlay sufficient to
erect sevcn-room house, we can
have ample facilities for many
years. When the time comes that
we CAN have separate high school
building, then this proposed new
building will work into our system
as word primary school. Then,
too, this plan would save many of
the little ones long walks, and this
consideration ought not TO be over
Iooked.
[ have Said nothing about crowd
ing, which this place would pre-
vent. Our present lot is too small
even for present purposes. There
is not sufficient room for the chill
dren to play. They are forced out
into the streets and Oh adjacent
property. Play grounds arc very
necessary for all children, and es-
pecially the little ones. And why
postpone purchasing adequate
grounds? Land is not likely to be-
come cheaper.
Our present bonds will be paid of
by the time we can issue new ones.
The value of the property in the
district has increased since the old
bonds were sold. If we issue 20,
year bonds instead of 2o-year bonds
we can put up such building as
outlined above and not increase oul
levy for equipment. The only ad,
ditioual cost would be for teachers
and that we would have to meet
under any plan.

News Of POmaSia.

Pomaria, July 13.-The crops
i'll this section are growing rapidly
now. There has been too much
rain for cotton Oh sandy land, gen.
orally, and in some places there is
a good deal of grass, but the pros
poets for good corn crop have
improved very mitch within the
past few weeks.
Chevis, the little son of Mr. and
Mrs, B. M. Settler, is extremely
i'll at this writing.
Mrs. George Swygert, of Sell
wood, spent several days with her
daughter, Mrs w. w. Berley this
last week.

ler is expected home this afternoon,
but Mrs. Pinner will remain several
weeks longer.
The building for the Pomaria
bank is going up rapidly. 1t will
be a one-story brick building. The
construction is being superintend-
ed by Mr.. T. +. Hentz. The di-
rectors of the bank hope to be
ready for business early In August.

The Bethlehem Sunday school

"A large crowd is expected at the
barbecue here next Saturday. It
will be held in the grove at Bethel
school house. 1t is probable that
the candidates will be on hand III
full force, as very few of them have
been in this section as yet.
1t seems to be generally agreed
that last sessions legislasure was
too extravagant, when we take
into consideration the present reve-
nues Of the State. 1t would be
interesting and profitable, perhaps
if each of the candidates for the
Legislature would, when the cam
pagn opens, take the last appro-
priation bill and point out lust
what items III that he would re-
duce, and then give: some dcmon-
stration of his ability to effect such
reduction. Of course every can-
didate is ia favor of economy in
the administration of our govern
ment, but empty professions along
that line, and especially by men
who are lacking in ability to ac-
eoinplish anything III the lcgisla-
ture, will never give the people
mitch relief. The Importance and
responsibility of positions in Our
Legislative assembly are not prop
erly appreciated by great many
of Our people. If our government
is unduly extravagant, it is the
fault of the legislature, and not
of the governor. We elect the leg
islature to enact the laws; the gov
ernor is expected to see that they
are properly executed.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.
Prof. W. X. Sligh Presents Logical And
Feasible Plan For Enlargement
OF School Facilities.

trustees Of our city schools have
sent circular letter to the patrons
asking their preference between
two outlined plans for increasing
our school facilities. AS the money
for any increased equipment must
first be voted by the citizens, the
trustees, in my opinion, have hit
upon very excellent method to
arouse ali interest in our schools.
1t is to be hoped that our citizens
generally will respond promptly to
this invitation, and thus show the
trustees that their efforts are appre-
ciated.
DO our people take that active
interest III school affairs which iev-
cry community must take in order
to keep its schools up to high
standard? I fear not. That New
berry's schools are not what they
ought to be is, believe, generally
conceded by all who are familiar
with school matters. In the opi1l-
ion of many, the time has come
when we must have not only all ell
larged equipment, but also read
Justrnent of Our school affairs.
Use the word readjustment for the
want of better term. This can be
accomplished only by all active CO.
operation between Our citizens and
trustees. We need a revival of the
school spirit i'll Newberry. It's not
criticism upon any man or body
of men to say that this spirit is
more or less dormant. It is simply
statement of a fact that has come
about through general apathy.
AS All evidence Of this general
apathy take the annual meetings
held by the citizens to hear the re-
port Of the trustees and to consider
the welfare of the schools. Irecall
that at the last meeting there was
present mere handful, although
all extra effort had been made to
get a large attendance. I also re-
call that at Democratic club meet
ing some weeks ago there were
sixty men present, all from one
ward; there was plenty Of interest
and even enthusiasm.
The time for another annual
meeting is near. If we could have
sixty men from each ward at that
meeting what all encouragement
and incentive it would be to Our
trustees and teachers! And why
should there not be three hundred
and more present? For what more
vital cause could the citizens of this
town assemble? Are not the very
destinies of their little ones affected
i'll large measure by what such
meetings do or fail to do?
Just word as to enlarged eq,,ip-
ment. The trustees have outlined
two plans. One looks to the erec-
ton of high school building Oh
the lot now used for school pur-
poses; the other to the erection of
a building in another part of the
town to duplicate the present school,.
There can be no question that we
need both the high school and a
duplication of the lowe, grades
Can we have both? T believe we
can and that, too, without exorbi.
! tant cost. My idea is a modifica-
ton of the second plan. Erect in
another part of the town a build
/ ing with seven large rooms. Use
! three of these for the high school,
and the other four for four primary
grades. BY high school I mean
the eighth, ninth, tenth and clev-
enth grades, taught by the depart
mental method. Three teachers
would be enough, so three rooms

DR.. J. w. Babcock, whom Scn-

have or show any signs of illness.
He is keenly interested i'll every

recent illness have disappeared; he

ing urged TO give his friends in

The National museum, containing

from Ponpeii, gave us two busy
days, the Pompcian relics giving
an insight into Roman habits and
luxury which compelled us to re-
call the Biblical declaration that
there is nothing new under the sun.
"'After one day at Pompeii and
another at Sorrento and Capri with
its famous blue grotto we drove
over the old Roman road to Amalf,
IS miles, being greatly impressed
with the succession of views as the
road the greater part Of the way is
hewn from solid rock from cliffs
from 800 to 500 feet above the sea.
The night was spent at Amalii in
the old monastery Of the Capucine
monks, which has been turned i'll
to a hotel. After resting until the
afternoon VIC drove over wonder

II. The new masonry and engin-
ecring are in no way equal to the
aid Roman work.

we saw the ruins Of three great
Grccian temples, built 600 years
before Christ, We returned to Ma
pies, experiencing on this Journey
our only hot day since we have
