DIsPEXSARY SCHOOL FUND.
County Sapt. tuEl Gives Statement a2d
Letter From State Supt. Swear

| would be glad to have the news
papers print the following letter,
which l have received from the State
Superintendent in reference to legisla-
ton affecting the schools of the State,
and therefore, of interest to the peo-
pie of Newberry county. 1t will be
seen from this letter that the legisla-
ture has continued to appropriate the
dispensarv school fund which was to
be distributed amongst the schools un-
til there is a very small balance. This
fund amounted to several hundred
thousand dollars, but it has been ap-
propriated for couple of years for
high schools and school extension and
buildings, until there is very little for
distribution amongst the counties. Of
course, some of the counties got some
benefit from these special acts, but it
seems to me that it. would have done a
great deal more good for the rural
schools of the State if these specific
appropriations had not been made
from this fund. However, they are
made and only small balance is left.
also hand you copy of the act
! providing for the distribution of the
balance. This balance will give to
Newberry very small amount as her
portion. I would be pleased if this
letter from Mr.. Swearingen providing
for the distribution of the fund be
printed.
1 also inclose you another act, pass
ed by the recent legislature, appro-
priating $4,000 to provide for consoli-
dated and graded schools in the coun-
try districts which 1 think will be of
interest to the people of this county,
and would be pleased to have you give
it publicity also.
Yours truly,
E. H. Aull,
County Superintendent of Education.
Supt. SWearingen's Letter.
To the County Superintendent of Edu-
cation.
Dear Sir: The 1912 session of the
legislature resulted in ffty-three new
acts relating to education. AS hereto
fore large majority of these refer
| only to local conditions and local in
terests, and the causes Of their enact
ment are usually familiar to school
| district trustees and county school Of
fcers.
Any attempt to list these acts in a
letter would make it's preparation tax
ing on this Office and its perusal tire
some to the reader. Full official infor-
nation will be contained in the 1912
statutes and this volume will be COM
piled and published as speedily as
possible.
Herewith are sent copies Of two
acts of statewide Importance:
No. 247. An act to provide for con-
solidated and graded schools in coun-
try districts, and to appropriate fifteen
thousand dollars to encourage the
same.
| No. PSI. An act to distribute among
the several counties the balance of the
State dispensary fund not otherwise
appropriated.
The consolidated graded school act
will doubtless benefit every county. 1t
is based on the two fundamental

yENBERRY COUNTY SUPPLY BILL.
The Legislature Appropriates Hore
Money Than it Provides to Raise
County on Credit.

The Herald and News prints III THIS
connection that portion of the supply
bill which refers to Newberry county
It will be seen that it approprlates
specifically the amounts to be used
by the county supervisor for the dl1-
ferent items. The levy remains at the
same and the supervisor is authorized
to borrow $4,000. The county owes
more than that amount probably at
present, and will necessarily have to
be run on credit for twelve months,
and at the end of that time be further
in debt than it was at the beginning
of this year The total appropriation
is over $4,000 and the three and one
half mills and one mill for roads and
amounts received from fines, and IL
censes will not give exceeding $4,000.
If, therefore, it takes $4,000 to run
: the county, it will be seen that at the
end of the year the debt of the county
will be $4,000 more than it was at the
beginning. Of course, it will cost the
people more to have work done on
credit than it will to pay cash, and 1t
does seem that it is not good business
Judgment to operate the county on
such a basis. That the people may see

A Fitting Climax.


ings conflict in the closing moments
in what was the most remarkable day
of the most remarkable session OF the
legislature in many year. 1t was a
history making day and a fitting CHI
max to the session.
The program of the senate majority
was to take a recess and come back
the latter part of March, but tne house
leaders refused to agree to this pro-
sram. Partly because they were worn
out and wanted to go home, and partly
because of the refusal of the senate to
concur in the house resolution for a
recess until May, which passed the
lower body some two weeks ago. The
house thought eight weeks was enough
and broke up the senate's plans by
promptly adjourning and going nome,
leaving the upper body nothing to
do but to follow suit"
Senator Clifton lead the fight for re-
scinding of the final adjournment, and
was assisted by Senators Alan john
stone, Carlisle, Hardin and others.
Senator Applet lead a determined fgnt
against the program, and In speech
filled with political bitterness charged
unfair treatment and that something
was going on which he knew nothing
about. He used every effort to block
the movement to rescind the final ad-
journment resolution and forced roll
call after roll call. However, the ma
iority had their program we'll in hand
and forced it through without a
change. After resembling their agree
ment to adjourn sine die today they
adopted a motion, by Senator Clifton
that the senate and house recede
from business until March 19, only al
ter several roll calls. There was con-
siderable bitterness displayed and
parliamentary tactics were exhausted
by Senator Applet and his followers In
an effort to get final adjournment.
Angered by Blease's Action
Several executive sessions of the
senate were held, so strained was the
situation. The first arose over the re-
fusal of the governor to send to the
senate the list of appointments to posi-

OSBORN DEFINES POSITION
Thinks That Republicans Should Not
Go Into Any Third Party.

Lansing, Mich. July 10.-ln order
that there might be no misunderstand-
ing as to his attitude regarding the
proposed third party, Governor Osborn
issued this statement:
Il am not inconsistent in the position
! have taken, that Republicans need
not bolt their party and will not be
considered as having bolted il they vote
for Woodrow Wilson. Many OF the
most prominent Democrats in the coun-
try did not vote for or support Mr..
Bryan. They remained Democrats
nevertheless, and are all supporting
Woodrow Wilson, now. ug.t
81 do not think new party erected
upon the passions Of any number of
men can live, hope all good Repub-
leans will refuse to join the malcon-
tents in a new party, do not mean
by this that temporary measures should
not be taken to present the name of
Theodore Roosevelt and to give people
an opportunity to vote for him. but
whatever steps are taken to do this, I
hope it will be clearly understood that
they are temporary"

West Virginia Has State Troops In

row., Wooded RavIne.

Charleston, w. Va, July 10. - As
the result Of wild rioting among the
striking coal miners IN the Paint
Creek field, orders have been issued
to the two regiments of the National
Guard to hold themselves in readi.
ness for field service. IT is known
that the miners received 400 addition.
al rifles, mostly Winchesters, the lat
ter part of last week. The adjutant
generals Office has everything in
readiness to ship the troops to the
scene at a moments notice.
For days trouble has been looked
for among the miners and 1t came.
The men have been or strike since
April and it has been only a few
weeks ago that coal detectives and
miners engaged in a pitched battle In
which several were wounded. Mon
day night several hundred miners
armed, scattered along the hillsides
at Mucklow. and opened fire on the
homes Of non-union men, but none OF
the occupants was injured. Several
hundred shots were fired and some
OF the houses were fairly riddled.
The Paint Creek country is a mar
row ravine extending back twelve
miles from the Kanawha river and
the hillsides are wooded and steep,
making 1t difficult for an attacking
party to gain control. If there is a
repetition Of what occurred Monday
night 1t is probable that the troops
soon will be on their way.
