the many strong points in its favor.
Let me say a few words about the
schools. We notice these three things
about the schools of so years ago:
1. The teachers were men.
2. The school was ruled by fear.
3. Spelling by bringing up the sylla-
bles was the foundation upon which
an education rested
A rigid home training in the quiet
county close to nature and God and
away from temptation, and a school
life under these stern masters,
brought forth law-abiding citizens.

old rule of spelling taught by our fore
fathers, but 1 fear that we will yet
acknowledge that "the stone which the
builders rejected has become the head
of the corner
But war passed over our land. The
flower of, our young manhood slept
in a soldiers sepulcher. Then woman,
whose nature is like the vine, for wo-
man naturally clings to and leans on
man for support, was forced to mar
den her gentle nature and stand alone.
The school, which is a continuation
of mothers teaching in the home and
a stepping stone to life, was the first
door open to woman. She entered
and has proven a success, as is eVl-
denced by the fact that after so years
the great majority of teachers are
women. Miss Euphenmia McClintock,
Newberry's own daughter, is a worthy
college president. Ella Flagg Young
presides over the schools of Chicago,
ILL.,, and many other noble women oc-
cupy high places.
But few women make teaching life
work. A college course is the best
gift parents can bestow upon their
daughters. This is expensive. The
students sing of "the money we spent
in college life" Many parents make
great sacrifices to educate their girls,
and the girls feel that they must teach
to make things even. They enter the
school room with the best OF inten-
tions and do noble work there, but
a strong voice says, "Come, lean on
me-" The promise is given and an
other teacher has been promoted to
wifehood and motherhood, the grand
est sphere prepared for woman.
Many knotty problems confront the
teachers of today. There is lack of
home training and discipline. Father
has to work for long hours and it takes
all his time and attention to meet the
extravagancies of our time. Mother
must aid in earning a livelihood, must
attend the club, or do church or mis-
sion work. So the precious treasure
whom God has given grows up IN
idleness and finds bad company in the
streets or elsewhere. Then it is so
easy to call off parental responsibility
and let the whole load fall upon the
teacher. 1 have even heard it. preach
ed from the pulpit three times, that
the schools are entirely responsible
for the conduct of the children of this
generation.
There comes to school the much-to-
be pitied spoilt, selfish child, who has
been taught that it is just little bet
ter than ether children and must have

and We spent the night. When l gol
home next morning I found that
searching parties had been as far as
Longshore looking for me.
In later years there was lynching
in the county-that at Little Mountain
less than two years ago. The editor
Of The Herald and News and I both
went down to the scene and got there
before the lynching. We didn't see the
lynching, but we got the story, and
got out spcial edition of The Herald
and News before daylight next morn
ing, the lynching having occurred at
about 10 o'clock at night.
1 could not write anything for an
edition of this kind without saying
something about the Evening Tele-
gram-Newberrys first and only daily
newspaper-that brave little bark
which, with stout heart, put out upon
an unknown sea and rode the tempes-
tuous waves for seven months and one
day. May II, 1904, it began it's voy-
age; December 12, 1904, it was wreck
ed on the breakers of non-support. I
worked Is hours a day on that little
sheet, helping edit it and doing little
OF everything else on it, and I re-
GREETED to see it die. While it was in
existence, went to Charleston, taking
a position on the city staff of the News
and Courier, but 1 came back to the
Evening Telegram. After the Evening
Telegram died, went back to Charles
ton. The Telegram fought a good
fight, and it kept the faith. During its
struggle for existence, the few weeks
before it died, it might we'll have said,
in the words of the Roman gladiators
of old, as it greeted its readers every
afternoon, "Morturi, tie salutamus."
But it's columns struggled to be bright
and cheerful, and it went down with
its colors flying, and all hands salut-
ing. Requiescat pace, until the work
which it attempted shall find fruitipu,
in the days of progress which 1 hope
are before NewbefFy, in a daily which
will be supported by the town.
Will Seabrook did his first regular
newspaper work upon the Telegram.
He developed rapidly irto good
writer, and he made good
on the Augusta Chronicle, and after
a trip to Europe, he holds now a re-
sponsible position on the Atlanta
Journal. He married not long ago.

of this article to go into the details

a negro from the time l left Newberry
until I got back. The negro Odd Eel
lows hall was burn ed during the
night. Whether it caught on fire from
spontaneous combustion or from rats
carrying matches, or whether some
member of the order set it on fire just
to spite himself, I don't know. Mr..
Fred. H. Dominick and I went togeth-
er. While we didn't have any trouble
at Vaughanville with the negroes, he
and I had some coming back. We
drove into swollen stream, thinking
we could cross. We found we couldn't,
and we couldn't back our horse out,
and We had to take off all our clothes
and get into the icy waters and help
the horse to back the buggy. Worse
than a Grace riot" don't you think?
On another occasion 1 represented
The Herald and News with sheriff's
posse hunting a negro that had killed
a white gentleman up in the Bush
river community with a rock. Blood
hounds had been secured from Colum-
bia, and we followed the hounds for a
couple hours, and then some one found
the negro within about a hundred
yards of where we had started. The
negro had shot himself, indicting Sc.
rious wounds, but was still living.
There wer2 some in tina: crowd that
day that wanted to lynch him, even in
his wounded condition, but there were
others who were determined that he
should be brought to jail-and brought
to jail he was. Duncan Johnson was
then deputy sheriff and in charge Of
the sheriff's posse. He and others
were determined to protect the negro,
and they did. I recall very distinctly
the nerve and grit displayed by the
Rev. Mr.. Swope, who was then serv-
ing the Bush River Baptist church.
Judge John Henry Chappell and I
started back together, riding horse
back. We stopped and took supper
with Mr.. M. M. Satterwhite, and on
eur way home We were overtaRen by
one of the worst thunder storms I
have ever seen. To say that was
scared is putting it mildly. Somehow
cur horses got out Of the road-how
they ever kept it the little distance
they did keep it I don't know-and my
horse stumbled over something and
fell with me. I wasn't hurt, but the
next flash of lightning disclosed the
object the horse had stumbled over
and it was tombstone in the grave
yard Of Bush River church. There was
no more trying to reach town that
night. We went to Mr.. Swope's home,

formerly, though have done "a good
| deal Of newspaper work, Of one kind
and another, for it and other papers.
The Herald and News of today speaks
for itself.
Sad thoughts are conjured up by
review Of the past, however short that
past may be, or however limited in
scope the review. Thomas Moore ex-
pressed the thoughts of a great many
of us when he penned "The Light of
Other Days" The imnlutaDle law Of
change is stern and hard, and oftimes
seems very cruel. Friends and COM
panions of other days are fighting
life's battles on other fields. Loved
ones have found an eternal home.
Lights and shadows have played
across our pathway, and sometimes the
shadows have been deep and heavy.
But it is not desired to fatigue the
readers of The Herald and News with
reflections tinged with sadness.
1t remains only to express the hope
that The Herald and News may grow
in usefulness to the community. Since
1 have known it, under it's present edi-
tor, it has sought the path of duty and
has striven to- follow it. It has labor
ed for the upbuilding of the commu-
nifty and has tried to pass by unnotic-
ed the ingratitude OF any. 1t has
rejoiced with those that rejoiced, and
it has mourned with those that mourn
ed. Its columns have carried the frag-
rance of the orange blossoms that
adorned the brow Of the b 'jIe, and the
fragrance of the roses of remem-
bnance, twined with the immortelle of
devoticb. that wreathel tie tomb. The
effort has been to male its policy con-
structive rather than destructive. 1t
has not feared to print all the legiti-
mate news, because that was it's busi-
ness. At times in doing its duty as it
saw it, it has made enemies. That
this should have been necessary was
matter of deep regret, but, the nee
essity apparent, there was no finching
from the task: /
That it may grow in strength and in
influence for good, conserving the high
principles which have been it's ideals,
is the hope I would express for it.
May it continue ever to realize its !
great responsibility and to live up to
it, for, /

GRACE PROSECUTOR
HAS A NEW STORY

Atlanta, August s.-Solieitor General
Hugh M. Dorsey, who prosecuted Mrs.
Daisy Grace on the charge of shooting
her husband, declared today that he
heard a shot fired at the Grace home
early on the morning of March s, while
lying abed at his home across the street.
Mrs. Grace told the jury which acquitted
her that the shooting occurred after II
in the morning. Mr.. Dorsey said he was
sure il was not later than O'Clock when
he heard the shot.
Mr. Dorsey said he did not go on the
witness stand and tell of hearing the shot
because eminent lawyers had advised him
that inasmuch az he was prosecuting, the
course would have been unwise. He
could not swear 1t was on the morning
of March With any certainty His rea-
son for making the statement at this late
day after deciding that 1t should not be
known. he said, was that fragments of
the story were being circulated and he
feared that they would be distorted in
the retelling.
Grace was brought to Atlanta today
from his home in Newman to undergo an
A-ray examination. After examining the
plates. his physicians will decide upon
whether or not to begin an operation.

The progressive leaders launched into
their campaign plans with vim. Some
of the delegates did not wait until they
had returned to their home to start the
work of organizing their states The Wis
consin delegations and others met immed-
lately after adjournment OF the conven-
tion and selected state chairman and
state secretary and a state executive COM
mittee. In several instances leaders tele-
graphed orders before departing from Chi
cago for the beginning of active campaign
work.
The national chiefs planned to go into
al the details of organization for the CAM
paign George w. Perkins of eNw York
and others declared that theer would be
no trouble In arranging for adequate
financial support. The spirit and en-
thusiasm generated during the last three
days at the convention hall were domi-
nant in the conferences. Everywhere were
heard expressions of confidence in the
new party's chances for victory.
