As TO who is going to undertake the
job we do not know. In fact we dc
not believe anybody is going to do il
soon: but we believe there is very
great need for a thorough overhaul
ing of the administrative offices Of this
entire state. If modern methods were
applied to existing conditions in all
the state offices, and in the counties
and the work of all the various depart
ments should be overhauled and sim
plified, the result would make fol
economical government, less taxes
and a better and more efficient admin
istration of the laws. But of course II
is almost foolish to suggest such a
thing. All the office holders are yer!
we'll pleased with their respective du-
ties. except none of them think they
are very well paid. and few of them
are in favor of an elimination process
that might eliminate them.

There is very little reason for be-
lieving that the 4. b. c. conference 10
be held at Niagara Falls for the pur-
pose of settling the differences be-
tween the United States and Huerta,
is going to amount to a great deal. In
the first place, there is no certainty
yet that the Mexican representatives
really have full power to act. and If it
develops that they have no such pow
er, the other delegates will at once
call for postponement, and in the
meantime things will break loose.

SCHOOL OUT AT BETHANY

The educational rally and picnic at
Bethany last Friday, was concluded
Friday evening with programme car
ried out by the school children. The
majority of the people who attended
the days exercises were also on hand
for the entertainment Of the evening.
The old Bethany High school with its
boarding department is no more. The
old school building has been torn away
and near the site Of it has been erected
this year, a new structure Of four
rooms with all modern conveniences.
In this new building under the guild
ance OF Prof w. r. Koon and Misses
Willie Mae Grayson and Lena Howell, q
large number Of children of the sur
rounding community have made much
progress in educational work.
A programme rendered Friday night
to the open air audience showed that
Bethany children were doing well, and
that they had been well trained during
the past session. Teachers for next
year have not yet been selected, but 1t
is more than probable that the same
corps will again be in charge.
The following is the programme pre-
sented Friday evening:

girls.

McLaurin and others spoke in Green
Vile county recently, Governor Blease
said: There was not a thing to 1t.
The only foundation for the sugges--
ton even, was that McLaurin and
others did not receive as much ap-
plause as l did, and the Greenville
News seized upon this very natural
circumstance to claim that Mr.. Nc
Laurin was a frost. The anti papers
reproduced the dope with faithful
promptness and there you are. If it
had been one of their candidates for
governor instead Of ours, and he had
gotten the reception that McLaurin
did, you would have seen it written up
as the most remarkable ovation in the
political history Of the state" and the
governor concluded with a significant
smile. they would have had 1t down
about right"

sprinkling Of visitors from other Sec
tions Of the county.
1t was an educational rally for Beth,
any under the auspices Of which the
assemblage was gathered and from the
good fellowship shown. and the quiet
and respectful attention given the
speakers, it was evident that those
present were much interested in the
subject of general betterment.
The weather was ideal, a little COO
in the early morning; but the sun came
out strong about midday, and with the
increased warmth came an increase IT
the crowd, many people depending
upon the status Of the weather before
coming to Bethany.
Shortly after eleven o'clock the
crowd which had been scattered around
the church yard, assembled at stand
which had been erected to the left OF
the church. Although Il number OF
seats had been provided, there were
not enough, and many members Of the
attentive audience were forced to
stand.
The formal exercises of the day were
begun with prayer offered by Rev. w

church. followed with a selection by
the Bethany string band.

LOCAL LACONlCS
The First Governor at Bethany.

Il
Governor Blease bears the distinction
of being the first chief executive Of the
| state who ever visited Bethany. A
number of the oldest inhabitants"
| were asked If this were not true. and
each one said he had no recollection or
governor ever being there before.
That Banner oat Patch.
A representative of The Enquirer
on Friday passed that banner oat
patch" belonging to Mr.. w. r. Carroll,
and which was mentioned in The En-
uuirer some weeks ago. The oats are
now quite pretty and present solid,
unbroken surface. The yield will very
likely come up to all expectations, not
withstanding that there has been some
loss for lack Of rain.
Governor BIease at Clover.
Governor Blease was expected to
make political speech at Glover, last
Friday afternoon upon his arrival from
Bethany, and a representative or The
Enquirer went up on the afternoon
train to report the proceedings When
the newspaper man arrived in Glover,
however. he learned that there had
been a hitch in the plans Of those who
had the matter in charge, by reason or
inability to get through telephone
C.
off. On his arrival in Glover, the gov
ernor was met by a large number OF
his friends, and he held an impromptu
reception for something like three
quarters Of an hour. He told the Glover
people that If he could possibly do so,
he would speak there either just before
or just after the senatorial campaign
meeting in Yorkville.
