The following, the editor says, was
clipped from the York News:
'4The Newberry Herald and News
opines that before long there will be
laws to prohibit even whistling. York
has had some such foolish law on the
ordinance books for a long time"
Now, that's real funny, isn't it? A
law against whistling. Why, that's
one good way of letting the steam off
and keep the boiler from bursting.
1t acts as a sort of safety valve, for a
fellow to be able to whistle. O, |
reckon the News is talking about the
whistling trains. Why, I think We had
an ordinance, or maybe it IS still on
the books, to prohibit the ringing OF
the car bell or the blowing OF the
whistle as the trains passed through
the city limits. That was because
there were early morning trains that
rang the bells so long and so loud
that it woke up some of our good citi-
zens too early in the morning. But
let the individual whistle, and let the
bells ring and the steam engines blow,
1 say, for like to hear 'em.
Then 1 read in paper the other day
where they have some sort of law over
in spartanburg that you can't sell Gig
arettes to minors. That's curious,
isn't it? That there should be such
law for spartanburg and not the re-
mainder of the state. Almost every
where have been l have seen little
boys putting away on cigarettes. But
then maybe they didn't buy 'em. be-
lieye that cigarettes and dope do a
great deal more injury to the human
system than does good beer-and it's
all good. But then don't set my
judgment up against the combined wis.

NIGHT SCHOOLS
ARE ORGANIZING
FORMED IN SPAR

School.
The State.

The State.
George D. Brown, state superin-
tendent of mill schools, spent yester-
day in Columbia in conference with
John E. Swearingen, state superin-
tendent of education. The last two
weeks have been consumed by Mr..
Brown in organizing night schools in
the mill villages of Spartanburg coun-
ty. There are 81 cotton mills in that
county, and night schools have been
organized in "a Meetings to effect
organization in the remaining three
have already been scheduled for this
week.
The Spartanburg delegation appro-
priated $1,400 last year to be applied
to night school effort The county
board in disbursing this amount ap-
portioned 81 900 or organize the night
schools in the mill villages with the
remaining $40O for rural district work.
Miss Linda Hunter was also employed
as mill school organizer for that
county.
In commenting on the Spartanburg
plan, Mr.. Brown characterized the ap-
preparation as "the greatest blessing
the delegation could have contrived
for mill people" "We are earnestly
hoping" he said, "that the appropria-
ton will be continued, and that other
counties will follow the worthy exam
pie" The work has geen greatly han
dicarped in many sections because OF
lack of funds. Mr.. Brown said yester-
day that it would be possible to con-
duct night schools in every mill vii
lage in the State for three months at
least in each year were funds avail
able
The total enrolment in Spartanburg
county is now 823 No one is allowed
to enter under IA years old. In some
instances registrations show the ages
to be above so years; both men and
women enroll who have never attend
ed school enough to enable them to
read the simplest English or to scraWi
their own names. The schools meet
three nights each week for sessions of
one and one-half hours. Mr.. Brown
also emphasized that the mill people
are wholly responsive to the leaders
efforts and that the schools are over

"a ROSE DREAM"-
SYNOPSIS OF THE PLAY

Little Rose, who has wandered away
from home and is lost falls asleep. The
fairies find her, and the Fairy Queen
designates Hop-o-My Thumb to guide
her through the Land of the Lost, and
later to Fairyland, her kingdom. Lit
tie Rose, with a band of roses as her
bodyguard. sees much to delight and
interest her. The fairies, with their
dainty charm; the mischieVous elves,
who are never at rest, it would seem;
the giant Forgot-all these she meets
through her wonderful guide, Hop-o-
My-Thumb.
In the second part they have brought
her to Fairyland itself, where the
lovely queen of the fairies holds court
Can and Can't, the twins, are here, and
little Rose finds tiny Rose Bud
amidst her bunch of Roses. The
fairies and the elves do their best to
entertain her, the queen is most gra-
cious to her, but all this delight can
not keep a mortal, Little Rose, from
getting tired and sleepy, and as these
are fairies of the day, the queen sends
Thumb with message 10
Little Roses mother meath the trees in
the park, and the last charms of the
fairies, preparatory to taking uight,
leave Little Rose sleepily leaning
against the fairy throne; even her at
tendant roses are drowsy and droop-
ing, since the queen tells us
"A mortal child can never stay
In Fairyland but for a day"
And so the fall of the curtain ends
the day in Fairyland and A Rose
Dream.

BALKAN SITUATION
LOOKS DARK AGAIN
John Buil Fears Greece VIII Not Toe
the Mark, According to
Promise.

London, Nov. 27.-London's cheerful
view of the Greek situation has been
succeeded by something in the nature
of reaction and the prevailing opin-
ion is that the press and public jumped
too quickly to the agreeable conclusion
that the Greeks would concede, readily
all the allied demands
Although all the forecasts and spec
ulation regarding Greece's reply to the
entente ministers new note, embody-
ing the detailed demands of their gov
ernments, that Greece guarantee Sc
curity and liberty of action to the
Franco-British troops on Greek soil,
continue to be optimistic, the latest in
formation from Athens clearly indi-
Gates that Greece had not yet definitely
abandoned the dilatory tactics which
caused the allies such uneasine<s.
1t is reported from Athens that TIE
Greek government probably will pro-
pose that military experts representing
the entente power shall be appointed to
discuss with the Greek general staff
the demands which it has heretofore
been assured were already satiSfactor-
lily answered.
Hopes Frustrated.
The Bulgarian operations in the
neighborhood of Monastir apparently
have frustrated the hopes of union
of Serbian and allied troops in south
ern Serbia; hence the use of the rail-
roads in Greek territory to effect such
a union has become of the utmost i'm
portance.
The Germans officially announce fur
ther progress beyond Pristina and Mi
trovitsa ard central Serbia apparently
is almost cleared of Serbian troops.
But in the southern sector, in the
neighborhood of Krivolak, the French
are at least holding their own, If they
have not gained slight advantage in
the series of attacks and counter-at-
tacks when have given the fighting
here the character of an almost con-
tinuous battle for several days.
Notwithstanding the persistence of
the Bulgarian advance, the Serbians
continue their strong defensive south
and west of Prilep, and, according to a
late unconfrmed Athens dispatch, they
nave retaken Krushevo.
Russia is now said to have $4,000
troops near the Roumanian frontier in
preparation for an attack on Bulga-
ria by land or sea, but this has no.
precipitated any definite declaration OF
Roumanias intentions.

By the way, did you read this edl-
torial in the State some days ago? |
think it was the State. Now you just
read it. | want you to read it first:
Now Look at McCOll: =.
A few years ago a great deal was
said and heard about civic leagues IN
numbers of towns and cities, but one
had begun to suspect that all Of them
had succumbed- one hears little about
them nowadays. A gentleman informs
the State that this impression is mis-
taken-that though some of the leagues
have ceased to be active, there are 9TH
ers that perseyere in good work. In
McColl," so we are told, "the civic
league. of which Mrs. T. B. Gibson is
president, is especially vigorous and
yigilant and the town is always clean
and attractive. The league lpaces
placard wherever attention to prem
ises is needed and, usually, the atten-
ton is promptly given. So McColl
maintains the appearance Of model
town-and in town prosperity Wnat
counts so mrah as appearances?
Cleanliaess of premises contributes
to the health of person and property.
Germ carrying insects thrive on fifth.
Accidental fires, the most fatal OF
property diseases, thrive on trash.
The town government that encour-
ages and assists the civic league con-
Quoted by the women of the commu-
aitv is lifely to be a good government.
There is a civic league in NeWberrsy,
and while it has not been able to do
great deal, it keeps alive and is ac-
complishing something for the COM
munity, but the CIVIC league. nor any
other league can do but very little
without the cooperation of the people
Of the community. But the reason l
am quoting this is not only to say that
Newberry has a civic league that is
active and doing wLaJ il can to I'M
prove the conditions of the city, not
only as to appearance. but also from
a sanitary standpoint, but mainly to
call the attention of the reader to the
modus operandum-is that the proper
way to put it?-well, you know what
mean. 1t is said that in McColl "the
town IS always clean and attractive"
That is fine. Listen at this: "The
league places a placard wherever at
tention to premises is needed and,
usually, the attention is promptly
given" Just think Of it, if sucn
plan were adopted by the civic league
in Newberry, the placards that would
be necessary, and my, how the city
would appear with all these placards.
Wonder if the president of the civic
l7azue in NeSneTrr would be brave
enough to placard all the premises that

would like to quote, one or two SEN
tences from the State above quoted:
Cleanliness of premises contributes
to the health of person and property.
Health of property" Have you ever
thought of that before, Well, now, 1t
is very true. There are people VINO
seem not to think so much OF nealtn
Of person, but when you come to talk
about property, that is the thing that
is on their mind. l was just thinking
the other day if every resident and
every business firm would just sweep
once day the paved sidewalk in front
of their doors, how mucn it would add
to the appearance, and nav little or
time and effort it would take. Some
time when you are walking along the
street you just stop long enough TO
take a brief look at some sidewalk
alongside some other sidewalk, the one
swept every day and the other not at
all. and see what difference in ap-
resrance. Now, l am not in the least
personal, but we do have some side
Walks tnat are swept every morning,
and then we have some that are not
swept at all. 1t would improve the
appearance ever so much if all the
walks were swept each day, and it
would be too much for the city to en-
ploy some one to do it. But very lit
tie effort and time for each resident
and each business firm.
Then another sentence want to
quote again from the State: the
town government that encourages and
assists the civic league conducted by
the omen of the community is likely
20 be a good government" That's true.
Whatever the women of the civic
league do in the town you may put 1t
in your pipe and smoke it, it is for
the good Of the town. They are un-
selfish and patriotic in their work, and
should be encouraged and helped in
all that they undertake. do not know
to what extent the town government
is assisting the ladies, but it should
be done in a material and substantial
manner. They did stand by the ladies
in the planting of some flowers around
the old court house, am told, and see
how pretty the flowers were all sum-
mer. That was small thing, but the
spirit was good. Encourage the good
women IN what they undertake and
you will rot go far wrong. I don't
mean the suffragettes. Please remem-
ber thai.
