VERY AGILE, BUT

Mr.. Cover of Greenville. is d very
agile letter writer, as is evidenced in
his article reprinted today, but he
lacks one qualification of all good
athletes. When he jumps at conclu-
sions he ought to be sure they are
there. He fails to state that the uues-
tion Of the removal Of Chicora was.
at the annual meeting of it's board of
trustees in 1911, made a special or
der for the annual meeting of 1912 and
committee, composed largely of
Greenville men, appointed to have a
recommendation ready. This commit
tee, 1T seems, went to sleep on the
job and did not wake up until after
the annual meeting of 1912 was past.
Before forcing their views" upon
the other members of the board some
OF these men whom he rasps first ask
ed the trustees. resident in Greenville
(and there are four of these) was there
any likelyhood Of Greenville doing
anything for Chicora in her present
needy condition and the reply they
received from these representatives
was There is not. To expect Green
vile in her present condition, to do
anything for Chicora is chasing rain
bows" Then, and not until then did
some or the nine earnest workers for
Chicora say to their brethren 1--WE
Will have to look elsewhere for help"
MIR. Cover says that "practically ev-
cry dollar in net value vested in Chi
cora's property was put there by
Greenville". He might have added
that when Greenville found the young
college white elephant on their hands
that they promptly sought purchas-
er and found one in the Presbyterians
OF all South Carolina, upon whom they
unloaded at a price that must have
been satisfactory to Greenville, else
why should they voluntarily sell It?
He asks why is Greenviile idle?" We
can't say, but at a special meeting of
the board called and paid for by
Greenville on July 10th, some of her
leading, most eloquent and influential
spokesmen said to the board, in sub
stance I'VE have millions for invest
ment in business enterprises, but not
a cent for benevolences and we pray
you have us excused"
1t is hoped that, ere another explo-
sion :. Grower will peruse at least
few Of the facts in the case.

practical Education.

One of the best things we have seen
lately is the article written for the
Laurens Advertiser by Prof. W. E.
Breazeale of Rutgers college and
copied in this issue of The Observer.
1t comes as a refreshing breeze in the
arid desert of discussion Of "practi-
cal education, education for life
work, vocational education, and
such like.
The present age is entirely too
practical" on the subject of educa-
ton. The idea is that education is
for money-making. This puts the
dollar above the man. That culture is
useless and manual training is every
thing. This classes a man with a
horse.
IF life is to be all drudgery,
What use for a human soul?"
The education needed is that which
draws out" the faculties of the mind
and soul and heart; that enables one
to enjoy the beauties of nature and
art; that teaches one how to think
D. S'C lhou6hCo W dSSOCldIo WlCn
the good and great and wise of all
generations; to enable one to say
and feel, "My mind to me a kingdom
is.
The notion that education makes
man ideal and visionary and impracti-
cal and units him for the practical
duties of life is without foundation.
Many educated persons are plumb
fools" when it comes to making a ,iv-
ing or meeting and solving the prac-
tical problems of life; and so are
many of the uneducated. Does
thorough education" make Woodrow
Wilson less fitted for the presidency? :?
Some ward politicians has called him
"a scholar" in derision, and there
may be many who think his scholar
ship is disadvantage; but no sensi-
BILE man does.
The schools and the colleges, and
the general public have gone too much
after the practical; they have set it
above the cultural, and in so doing
have taken a great deal of sweetness
and light out of life.
Prof. Breazeale's article Is worth
reading. The pleasure of reading II is
enhanced, too by the knowledge that
he Is South Carolinian-a former
Andersonian. and for a'number of
years professor of mathematics in
winthrop college. His wife also is
South Carolinian, of the neighbor-
ing town of Cross Hill, and one of the
Drlghtest women the state has had the
honor to rear-Miss Josie McSwain
cousin of our own w. A. McSwain.

article.-Newberry Observer.

This Is the proposition. Buy GAL

Ions of l.. & M. Paint and mix the Oil
with the Paint. If the Paint thus
made costs more than $1.60 per gallon
If the Paint az you use it is not per-

all on have paid for the whole of II
and besides the money you have paid

IN MEMORiAM

Waterloo, Sept 16.-John A. Puckett
Is dead, and the curtains have fallen
upon his last act. The scene closed on
Monday, September 8, 1912, just as the
shadows of night obscured earthly OBJ
jects around us. His last day was a
full day, and at eyentide the tired
spirit took it's departure from the
sphere of activity which he so we'll
filled for sixty-five years. A man of
energy, perseverance and good judg-
ment. he pressed the fight of life Wig
orously and succeeded If he ever
had real enemy we never knew it,
we do know that his neighbors loved
and respected him, and that they had
a proper place in his heart. He was
not man to speak evil Of his neigh
bors.
He reached an age to be accepted
as soldier in 1864 and enlisted in
Company d, Capt. Mat Jones, in July
of that year, and did service in the 4th
battalion Williams, until the close in
April 1865, when he surrendered with
his command.
Born on the Sth day of April 1S47,
married to Miss Sarah G. Martin on
October 81, 1866. Died September 9,
1912. Six daughters were born to this
union four Of whom, with the wife and
mother, survive his death. The daugh-
ters are Mrs. Jno. III. South, and Miss
Agnes Puckett, Of Greenwood; and
Mrs. G. w. Long and Mrs. II. C. Sims
of Waterloo.
He leaves thirteen grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren He was
lifelong Methodist, member of
Bethlehem church or the Waterloo cir
cult. He suffered gradual physical
decline for more than two years. He
leaned confidently and comfortably
upon the sustaining grace of God, and
died in the full assurance of faith,
and in the joyous anticipations Of a
glorious Immortality, at times shout
ing the praises of God in the triumphs
Of faith.
We read the beautiful burial SER
vice, after which his body was con-
signed to the tomb in the Waterloo
cemetery, with Masonis honor& by
Waterloo lodge. Dear husband, faith
er. brother and friends, farewell, till
Jesus comes.
Friend
