PLENTY OF CLOTHING

The movement started by Mr. I. P.
Boyd, superintendent Of the county
home last Friday, for the relief Of suf-
fering people in the hail stricken Sec
ton Of Bethel township has been sue
cessful up to all reasonable expecta-
tions. and the practical results are all
that could be desired.
Acting upon Mr.. Boyd's suggestions
the pastors of the various churches,
after agreeing that the excellent Boy
Scout organization was just the thing
with which to make a thorough can
vass Of the town, made announcement
Of the plan from their pulpits on Sun
day morning, and the whole under
taking was carried out with effective
thoroughness.
AS soon as they got out Of school
yesterday afternoon, the boys having
already agreed upon a systematic di-
vision Of the town by streets, made a
canvass Of every home and every home
made liberal response with all the
clothing that could be spared.
The donations included almost ev-
erything in the line Of wearing appar-
Ell for men, women and children, and
many of the articles donated were
practically as good as new. When 1t
was all collected together it made up
a bulk that was easily sufficient to
make two good two-horse wagon loads.
The Scouts turned over their collec-
tions to the committee Of ladies that
has been doing such handsome work in
the collection and forwarding relief
for the Belgians as well as for the hail
sufferers and this committee with Mr..
Boyd has this morning been engaged
in asserting and classifying the various
articles so as to get them in proper
shape for shipment.
All the numerous articles collected
by the Boy Scouts and by the ladies Of
the Belgian relief committee on ac-
count Of the hail sufferers are to be
packed in suitable boxes and shipped
without delay to the Bethel relief COM
mittee at Glover.

The Greenville Piedmont undertakes
to speak In a commendatory manner
of the comments The Yorkville En-
quirer saw proper to make on Gov
ernor Manning's inaugural address,
and to be somewhat patronizing about
the same. We are just little sur
prised at our contemporary, consider
ing the age and experience Of the edi-
tor, his knowledge Of journalism and
his familiarity with the course Of The
Enquirer generally. This newspaper
has always had its opponents and al
ways expects to have them. The
principal and most aggressive oppo-
nents Of this paper are a few people
who are obsessed with the idea that
although the paper be owned and pub
lished by L. NJ. CRISIS Sons, they
should be consulted as to the editor
ship. They seem to think that our
failure to accept them at their own
estimate is something akin to crime;
and that for us to do our own think
ing is assumption that approaches i'm
pudence. Their objection does not
apply to political matters alone; but
to social and business matters, and
even matters affecting our good faith
with our readers. 1t was these people
who sought to whip us into line under
their domination by undertaking to
characterize us. They knew they were
guilty of the grossest misrepresenta-
ton; but they cared nothing for that.
What really worried them was the
true character Of this paper-that ed
itorially it stands for true, honest jour-
nalism and that it Is the organ Of no
ono. The Enquirer tried to give Gov.
Ansel a fair show, it tried to give Gov
ernor Blease a fair show. and 1t will
try to give Governor Manning fair
show; but 1t will be blind partisan Of
no one. Our subscribers all under
stand that, and for that reason, as
saults against us, whether secret or
open, and there have been plenty OF
both kinds, have only served to In
in our honesty Of purpose. We have
remarked that the suggestions Of the
Piedmont have surprised US, and have
said why. The record Of this news
paper is an open one. The Piedmont
has seen every issue during the time
the Piedmont has been in existence
Let it reproduce so much Of the record
as will show that We have tried to
bias our readers for or against any
body. We have often been impressed
with the fairness of the Piedmont, and
more than once we have remarked
the fact; but we claim that The En-
quirer is always as fair as is the Pied
mont, and we believe it Is as nom
partisan. And furthermore. II the
Piedmont thinks that The Enquirer
will undergo any change Of convic-
tons as the result Of change In ad-
ministration it will find itself very
much mistaken.

dren and Of the benefits such training
was to them. He advocated the giving
Of more attention to athletics by the
teachers Of the public schools Of York
county, asserting that athletic prac-
tice was one Of the best ways Of teach
ing the laws Of health and at the same
time warned the teachers that they
must guard against the tendency Of
some pupils to give too much atten-
tion to athletic sports.
Prof. B. c. Riddle Of the Yorkville
Graded schools read paper on the
subject Of Good Teaching" in which
he discussed ways and means whereby
teachers might give the best instruc-
tion to students in their charge.
The matter Of having a county Field
Day some time this spring on which
occasion the siXty-one schools in the
county would be represented, was dis
cussed at some length by Prof. Riddle,
Superintendent Carroll, Prof. Burts
and others, and all the teachers hear
tily endorsed the proposition. The
teachers propose that the Field Day
exercises shall be a kind Of county pic
mic at which not only the school chill
dren but their parents shall be well
come. Athletic and mental contests
will be staged and the teachers pro-
pose to arrange a programme whereby
nigh schools shall compete against
h'eh schools Of similar numerical
strength, grammar schools against
similar schools, etc.
The president appointed Miss Mary
Cartwright and Messrs. r. H. Holiday
and r. E. Allen as representative
committee Of the Western Division to
meet with the Eastern Teachers as
sociation in Rock Hill next Saturday,
for the purpose Of agreeing upon a
time and place for the monster county
field dav.
Shortly after twelve o'clock lunch
was served the teachers. the same be-
ing provided by the county board Of
education, which body was represented
at the teachers meeting by County
Superintendent John E. Carroll and
Mr.. T. E. McMackin.
After lunch the teachers were divid-
ed into the various departments Of
school work in which they were en-
gagged and entered into round table
discussions of their work, each teacher
telling the other Of his or her expert
ences In teaching and making sug-
gestions from which benefits might be
derived.

running about from one home
and to another, etc. That it is the duty
of the state Of South Carolina to look
after her old soldiers there Is no ques-
ton; but the only way the thing can
be d,ne with real satisfaction and
credit to the state, is in the homes Of
the old soldiers themselves. This fact
has been fully demonstrated, and the
sooner the home in Columbia Is abol-
ished. the better for all concerned.
