RENIINDER--'LEsT WE FORGET"
Memorial Day Was Not Observed by
People OF Walhalla.

Editor Keowee Courier: This the
30th day Of May, 1912, is the ma
tional Decoration Day for these Uni
ted States of America. 1t is meet.
and proper that it should be so.
Many sad and loving tears are shed
to-day, while loved ones are laying
garlands Of beautiful flowers on the
last resting places Of the heroes Of
war and on the graves of fathers,
mothers and other relatives and
friends, long since departed.
1t does seem to me that it would
be most loving and proper tribute
that. every one who has dear rela-
tives and friends now buried in all
the cemeteries and at all the
churches of Oconee county, should
meet on this 30th day Of May-Deco-
ration Day-and\ place lovely flowers
on the graves Of all. l would be so
glad to meet my relatives and friends
at dear old Richland that we might
decorate every grave in that sacred
place Of rest.
What are our splendid civic
leagues-both ladies and gentlemen
doing? Why should they over
look and forget to place garlands of
flowers on our fine Confederate mon
ument, and Wagener monument, in
memory Of the founders OF our town
and OF the soldiers Of the South, the
defenders Of States rights and con-
stitutional liberty? All, young
friends, we should gather and weave
bright, gay garland, from the for
get-me-nots Of memory the rose
buds Of love and the spotless white
lilies Of prayer, twining them among
the evergreens Of hope, and place
them lovingly on the graves of our
departed loved ones who have cross
ed over the river. And to my dear
Christian mother, who would ALWAYS
bid me goodbye at tho old swinging
gate | wish to dedicate these few
VerS -
My Mother at tho Gate.
(Selected.)
There's many lovely picture on
memorys silent wall;
There's many cherished image that
/ tenderly recall:
| The sweet home Of my childhood
| it's singing brooks and birds;
| The friends who grew around me,
their loving looks and words;
But the sweetest, dearest image that
fancy can create
Is the image of my mother, my mo-
ther at the gate.
| And there | see her standing,
Her face SO pure and fair,
The sunlight and the shadow
On her snowy cap and hair;
| feel the soft, warm pressure,
The hand that clasped my own;
| see the look Of fondness
| That in her blue eyes shone.
| hear her parting blessing
The lapse OF weary years.
| | look through all my sorrows
At her own sad, silent tears.
All, midst the darkest trials
! That mingle with my fate
| turn to that dear image,
My mother at the gate
But she has crossed the river,
| Is with the angels now
Has laid aside earth's burdens,
And the crown is on her brow;
She's clothed in pure, white linen,
And walks the street of gold:
| Oh, loved one, safe forever,
| Within the Saviour's fold.
No sorrowing thought can reach
thee,
! No grief Is thine to-day;
| God gives the joy for mourning,
And he wipes the tears away!
! Thou'rt waiting in that city,
Where holy angels wait,
| And when l cross the river
I'll see thee at the gate!
Very truly yours,

OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS
OcOnee Stands Next to Head in State
for Advancement.

Editor Keowee Courier: For some
time l have been contemplating US
ing your valued columns to state to
the people Of Oconee county the pro-
gress that our county has made
along educational lines during the
past four years under the wise ad-
ministration OF Superintendent Of
Education Wade G. Hughs.
Oconee county has made more
rapid strides than any other county
in the State except Horny county.
State Superintendent j. E. Swearin-
gen gives unstinted praise to Oco-
nee and her wide-awake Superin-
tendent for the progress that has
been made to the cause Of education.
In order to substantiate what have
just said l want to give you some
facts to prove my statements:
Facts Concerning Oconee Schools.
Number Of districts levying extra
taxes-January 1. 1909, 20; June
80, 1912. 47-more than doubled.
Horny, with 95 districts, has Sd levy
ing extra tax; Oconee, with II dis
tricts, has 47 levying extra tax.
Amount raised $1,000, SS,SS6.95;
in 1912, $13,71S.

Aid to Rural Schools,


Total. ......... $6,00S 81
More than twice the amount Of
salary that will have been paid the
County superintendent by the coun-
ty for the whole four years has al
ready been paid to the county, and
by January 1, 1913. Oconee will
have secured in round numbers
$4,000 from the State for rural
schools.
State Aid Rural School Buildings.
Fall Branch, $125; Salem, $135;
Bethlehem, 500; Ebenezer, $500;
Blue Ridge, $500; Keowee, $3.50.
Total, $1,000.
Teachers Standard Gradually Raised
Greater interest than ever is be-
ing shown by trustees In schools un-
der their charge with corresponding
Improvement In general conditions.
Our County superintendent was
largely instrumental in getting the
bill introduced and passed providing
for State aid for rural schools to
about the same amount as Is pro-
vided for rural high schools, but
without the restrictions Of the high
school act. There are some eight or
ten schools in Oconee that could not
come up to tho requirements Of the
high school law that can get State
aid under the new act. Tho first
school to get any benefit under the
new law is the South Union school.
which was formerly high school,
but was later ruled out by the State
Inspector.
Rural Graded Schools.
Eight districts have been consoli-
dated into three, and two Of the
buildings have been put up, and
,1aNa arc under way for the erection
o. lbe third Great advance steps
maze been made and lead taken In
p@nDcu cOUuly by two mountain dis
"rio'$ Bothi@hem and village Greek
rron tive above statements you
see that our county has received con-
siderably more money than it has
cost to keep the superintendent OF
Education's office open. 1t will per-
haps be news to some to learn that
1t was through the Oconee Board of
Education, and especially tho work
of Mr.. Hughs. that a bill was intro
Nur"f and IA ,sed providing for State
1Jr ,Nr rlr9i graded schools. This
N.Il ecmn@ Ha a great blessing to the
..2'1 cUuOlry town and country
"n'uuu1t, jhat cannot conform to
n &1f" hj@u school law.
Oconee Is coming to the front in
point OF ducatiOn, and | consider
that this impetus in the cause Of ed
ucation has come largely through the
earnest, conscientious and faithful
work Of our present incumbent. and
for one would like very much to
see him placed in the office for ano-
ther four years Should the same
progress be made that has been made
in the last four years OcOnee county
will lead the State in the cause OF
education.
There is one feature alone that
should cause all true Oconceans to
rejoice, and that is the interest that
is being taken In consolidating
schools, in building up-to-date school
buildings. and ndt employing the
One-teacher, short-term school, with
pupils packed into one little building.
With these facts above | believe
that the people Of Oconee county
will be satisfied for the present re-
gime OF education to he graded on in
The future as has been in the past,
and not a single citizen Of Oconee
county will doubt the fact that great
advancement has been made in the
cause OF education as in the past four
years. Yours truly,
NJ. E. Brockman

Parlor Match Trick.

Have. say, 100 matches. Lay them on the table and agree with some one to take alternately from the heap any number not exceeding ten, and wager that the last match will come to you. Then remember the numbers 1. 12. g, 34. and so on, increasing by eleven each time. SuppoSing you have the first draw You take one match only, and your opponent can never have a chance. for if he dra WIS as many as possible the first time tten) you take one more and make the total twelve Say he then draws eight. and you will immediately draw three. When you have got to eightynine you will see that the other player has no chance. Should your opponent insist on having the first draw he will make it possible for you to attain one of the numbers- 12, g. 34, etc. Then the game is yours.
