Senator McLaurin is to be in New
berry on Saturday and viii speak in
the court house to the Farmers union
and to all others who desire to hear
him. He is coming at an opportune
time. The National Bank has just an
nounced that it is prepared to loan
every farmer in Newberry county
money on his cotton, provided he has
it stored in a bonded warehouse and
will place the warehouse receipt with
tae bank.
The question now is the warehouse
facilities for handling the cotton upon
which loans may be desired. As stated,
the facilities in Newberry are only
SUFFICIENT to handle some 800 Obales,
and it may be necessary to store some
10000 bales if tie farmers who sell at
Newberry and others of the county de-
sire to hold their cotton.
Mr.. McLaurin, when he comes, will
explain the State warehouse system,
and there is ample time to build one
or two more warehouses before the
cotton is available or ready for the
market. Hear McLaurin when he
speaks here on Saturday.

We publish in another column an
editorial article from, the GFeenVille
Piedmont on the mill schools which is
a sane and sensible statement of the
case. The mill schools should be a
part of our school system and the
teaSaers and the supervision should
he all under the school system of the
STATE. The Piedmont is correct that
the mill schools should be under the
same supervision as other schools and
not under the direction and control OF
the corporations. The children in the
mills and the people who work in the
mills are the same people as those
who plow in the fields and WHO labor
in other callings and professions and
when the children in these schools
get up to the high school they come
to the other high schools.

Under the caption, Don't Cross the
Bridge Now" the Columbia Record
says:
"Hhe Greenville Piedmont insists
tat it would be violation of the law
for Governor Manning to ask the leg
islature to reimburse him for the
money he has spent in getting good
man to conduct the management Of the
State hospital for the insane.
"u1e governor has not yet actually
preferred the request. If, as has been
so gracfously and considerably pointed
out, it is not lawful for the legislature
to make retroactive settlement, then
The Record feels quite sure that no
harm will be done.
There are surely South Carolinians
in number sufficient to make volun-
tay contribution to a fund to reim-
burse tie governor and to give him a
loving cup in addition for the splen-
did act for humanity which he has
done"
Indeed there are. This should be
done, and is TIE proper way to show
appreciation of both the governor and
DR.. Williams. Pass around the hat.
We shall most willingly contribute Of
our mite.
General recognition should be made
Of the high character and impulses
and Of the good deeds of these two
men.
They may be some times wrong in
judgment, but their hearts are right.
But don't ask that this contribution
be made by the legislature out of our
public funds, w5en it is prohibited by
law.-Greenville Piedmont.
That's right. 1t would be a small
matter for the State, it is true, but
we should have law enforcement and
law observance from the highest to the
lowest citizen and from the highest
official to the lowest. But DR.. Williams
and the governor would scarcely ac-
cept contributions in the manner here
suggested. The proper thing is for
DR.. Williams to accept the $4,000, the
amount allowed by law for this year,
and. then if the legislature declines to

TWO PRIZE ESSAYS.
Essays That Won Aull Essay Medals
At Little Mountain and
Prosperity.

The Herald and News prints today
the two essays that were written by
the pupils the Little Mountain High
SCI -ool and by the pupils of the Pros
perity High school. These two were
the essays awarded the Aull essay
medal The plan adopted by the prin-
cipals of these two schools in the
writing of the essays was to guaran-
tee originality in tie preparation of
the essays. After the subject was an
nouneed the members of the class tnat
entered the contest were given an hour
for deliberation and then they were
given time to write the essay, but were
not allowed access to any books or
permitted to receive help from any
one. TIE medals were won this year
by two young ladies.
'The Farmer as Citizen" was the
subject assigned the pupils of the Lit
tie Mountain school and the medal was
awarded Miss Ninaleigh Boland.
"The Advantages of School Contests
was the subject assigned in the Pros
perity High school and the medal was
awarded to Miss Susan Quattlebaum.

TO LOAN MONEY on COTTON.

The National Bank of Newberry an
nounces that it is prepared to loan
every farmer in Newberrg county
money on cotton stored in bonded
warehouses with the warehouse re-
ceipt.. And to loan that money at a
reasonable rate of interest and for q
reasonable time.
The rate per pound of the cotton so
stored and the rate of interest charged
will be explained to you by President
Matthews of tie National Bank.
The next and most important thing
that we need now is the warehouse ia
cilities to handle the cotton. The
warehouses in the town will hold only
some 5000 or 1000 bales of cotton.
We need about three times that num-
ber of warehouses or facilities for
handling about three times that num-
Der of bales.
The National Bank has made this ar
rangement to take care Of G1e cotton
in the hands of the small farmer, from
one bale on up. He is the man who
needs the help, as we pointed out in
a former editorial. This arrangement
is made for the farmer, Uae producer
of the cotton, and will take in the man
who may have but one bale just as
readily as the man with hundred
bales.
This arrangement will give B1e farm
er the opportunity to keep him from
forcing his cotton on the market when
the price is below the cost Of produc-
ton, and at the same time help him
to pay his obligations, and the mer-
chant who has extended credit to the
farmer to meet his obligations. In
fact, it will help all lines of business
by putting money in circulation, and
yet give tie farmer the opportunity
to get a better price for his cotton.
See President Matthews at the Ma
tional Bank as to the rate of interest
and the price per pound he will make
a basis for the loan, and the length
of time tie loan may run. There is
to be no red tape about it. Simply
your warehouse receipt and your note
if you are farmer.

increase the salary WY simply say
that he can not work for the amount
that is fixed by law. There are good
physicians and good men in South
Carolina who will accept tie position
for the salary. No one man is indis-
pensable for any position. The Di-
vine providence has so arranged the
affairs of this universe that no human
being is indispensable for any position
and the workman may die, but the
work goes on. 1t would be a great
calamity if it were otherwise. And this
is said with no intention to disparage
the services or ability or peculiar fit
ness of DR.. Williams. But it is in
furious to humanity and to society to
get out the impression that he is + e
only man in South Carolina who can
adequately fill this position, and for
that reason the State must pay twice
the salary fixed by law and twice tie
salary of the governor and that has
been paid for years.

much as we need anything else, and
more than we need a great many
things we are striving for, and many
of these things would come easily If
the community spirit prevailed. In
fact, there would be little difficulty in
making this the very center of many
good things that we may be wanting
Just now if we had the community
spirit in the fullness tlat we should
possess it.

Mr.. r. D. Smith, cashier of the Ma
tional Bank, has just returned from
Statesville, N. c., where he has been
visiting relatives. He is an enthusi'
astic good roads advocate now. He
says there are two things tnat New
berry needs. One is better road
system, and before anything is under
taken, is a road engineer who knows
how, and another is dredging ma
chine to clean out and straigaten our
streams and reclaim the waste land
that results from overflow.
Mr.. Smith says the country through
which the good roads go is prosper.
GUS and it really looks like living. The
little county of Iredell has about two
hundred and fifty miles of good roads
that may be used all the year. That
is what Newberry needs.
But we should go at the work under
intelligent supervision and that should
apply to tie town as well as the
county.

nation on the globe can cope with her
in her military and athletic training?

This is an advantage that starts at
home, at the dear old school house on
the hill.
The little boys start out and see
woh can run the farthest in tie
shortest length of time, or who can
Jump the highest. Then he is found
to be the best athlete in school, and the
next time we see him. he is at a uni
versity, being trained for the world.
Where did his training begin? We
answer, at school in a contest with
his fellow playmates.
Not only are these physical and men
tai contests advantageous, but we
have contests against our classmates.
Perhaps this is the contest that deyel-
ops US more than any other, mentally.
We contest for scholarships, medals
and learn much by our efforts put
fortl,. Then there is the mathematic
medal we contest for. Therefore in
creasing our minds in that respect.
There are agricultural and domes-
tic contests that are advantageous to
any boy or girl.
The agricultural contests advan-;
tages shown so plainly by Jerry
Moore's achievements. Only school
oby contesting for an agricultural
prize. Look what ne showed to the
people. Is there any one who does
not think this was advantageous to
him.
Not only are contests in school ad-
vantageous, but also contests in which
schools contest against schools, as
they do Fair and Field day, and at
Western Carolina and State meet.
Hundreds Of people attend these and
are broadened and developed by at
tending them. They get the ideas OF
different people, see new things and
are benefited in ways too numerous
to even attempt to mention.
We have shown how these few con-
tests we have mentioned are not only
advantageous, but inspiring, develop
ing stimulating and broadening.
Some one has said:
Rain drops fall and wrinkle the sea,
Then vanish and die utterly.
We would not know that the rain drops
fell
If the round sea wrinkles did not tell"
May 01e sea wrinkles made by school
contests never die, but ever lend to in
spire, develop and stimulate US TO
great and still greater things.

THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

The Glenn Springs Community CLUB
rendered the visitors to that place a:
the organization of the Appalachian
Highway committee last night a de-
lightfuI luncheon. The members Of
the club and their wives and daugh-
tiers prepared and served the luncheon
which was thoroughly enjoyed by the
visitors.
By the way, this community club is
a great thing for every community.
1t brings the people together and ere
ates energy and enthusiasm and in ad-
dition cultivates the community spirit.
The club at Glenn Springs is doing
good work. We wish every community
in the county had one like it.-Spar-
tanburg Herald.
We were present at that meeting at
Glenn Springs and the community club
was in evidence. The men and women
looked after the comfort Of those who
were there and if there happened to
be one WHO was not present at the
luncheon they had lunch prepared
for him to take on the return trip. It
was a delightful occasion.
The community spirit is what every
community needs and must have~if it
is ever to do anything worth while.
We need it right here in Newberry as

The crops in this section are very
good and if the farmer can get a fair
price for his cotton he will be in pretty
good shape. The crop this year has
been made at very small cost. There
will be very few fertilizer bills to pay
and the other debts have been much
less than heretofore. The main thing
now is to make some arrangement by
which the farmer, and the small farm
er, may realize a fair price for his
cotton. If the warehouse plan and the
reserve bank can do it, then let's build
some warehouses. They can be built
at small cost.

The city opera house needs new
set of chairs tat are up-to-date and
that will be strong enough to hold
those who sit in them without the con-
slant fear that they are going to break
down. And tie fear is well founded.
Manager Wells says that some forty
of the chairs have already given way
and ne has patched them up after a
fashion and as best he could. The
OTTER evening we saw one Of them
give way with lady sitting very
Quietly on it, and it just as quietly let
her down on the floor. The opera
house is paying fairly good income
and some of it at least should be used
in making the place comfortable. This
is due the manager as we'll as the peo-
pie who patronize t:e place. These
chairs might be repaired and given to
some of the schools for temporary use
in their auditoriums, where the strain
would not be so great. But certainly
new seats should be placed in the op-
era house.

That is a gruesome story of the
lynohing of Frank. We do not know
whether he was guilty or not. If he
was guilty he deserved the electric
chair. If he was not guilty he should
have been turned loose. But whether
guilty or not does not excuse the mob
for its action.

their hardships could bring advan-
tages from their limited school con-
tests, what present day hardship can
discourage US?
And we are stimulated with the
thought in discussing this subject, it's
necessary to present it in the following
ways to at all do it justice: Literary,
athletic, agricultural and domestic
contests.
The advantages of literary contests
are as numerous as they are varied,
in that they involve numerous other
contests, such as reading, defamation
and essay contests.
Reading contests are advantageous
because of te good literature we get.
That is, if we read the best we can
get in studying for contests, we have
the advantage OF knowing and learning
good literature.
If we read as we should in study
ing for contests every foreign word
we come in contact with We should
look it up. Thereby increasing our
vocabulary extensively.
Therefore We see if tie act of con-
testing has done US no good, the prep
aration has, and had it not been for the
contest we would not have gotten the
preparation. And We see again that
it is an advantage over some one else
to r3ave gotten the knowledge and prac-
tice we did from the preparation.
We say defamation contests are an
advantage. 'Tis so, for this is great
agent for increasing our mental ca
pacity.
By learning good orations and read
ings we not only get the benefits Of
tie good language and thought from
them, but by learning good orations
and readings we are better fitting our
minds for memory work.
And its certainly an advantage to
be able to memorize readily.
These, as we have said before, are
only preparations for tie contest, but
by it we get good literature and
thought that come from them.
Perhaps there's no one agent that
proves as conclusively our ability to
express ourselves as an essay.
'Tis very easy for any one to speak
what he wants to say, but to put in as
expressive words, is no easy matter.
T2en we say essay contests are great
agents for Strengthening this weak
ness.
We have proven to you that liter
ary contests are advantageous in that
we get from them, or in the prepara-
ton for them, good literature, good
thought, a help in our expressiVeness,
an agent for increasing our vocabu-
larry and mental capacity.
This is but one sphere of our sub
ject, now let US turn to the athletic
or physical side of school contests.
Some of the great advantages Of
these coontests may not be seen in
the present day, but will come into
more prominence in later years. For
We are progressive people and when
they see the advantages they are 60
ing to become compulsory. The out
door games are going to be more and
more introduced in our schools and
towns.

vantages of athletic contests pEeseRts1

The Farmer AS a Citizen.

The Divine commission given to the
lrst man was that of farming-tilling
the soil-and therefore is an honorable
one throughout the Biblical history.
But in the earlier centuries of ma
tional history, and up until the acces-
sion of Victoria in 1887, they were i'm
posed upon by tie mobiles, and looked
upon as the "laboring class" or work
ing men," and were given no voice in
parliament whatever.
But when Victoria came to the
throne she saw that the farmer was
not to be imposed upon, and that he
was to become TIE most powerful citi-
zen in the world, she at once began
to make laws for the relief of the
farmer, and since tnen they have made
great progress, and they begun to re-
alize how much depends upon him.
The responsibility of feeding and
clothing about ninety-two millions Of
people at home, and millions in for
eign countries rests in the hands OF
the farmers of our nation. The prob
lem of the i.igh cost of living has be-
come personal problem to high and
low alike. 1t has staggered the most
masterful brains. Economists and
statesmen have endeavored to find the
source from which it has developed,
until it has become a political issue,
and no satisfactory solution has been
agreed upon-unless it is by the move
ment of "back to the farm" SO many
people have become dissatisfied on the
farm, and nave sought livelihood in
the cities or mill villages, but the
Sigh cost of living is proving to them
that the farmer raising his own sup
plies is the only Independent citizen
in the world. The farmer should con-
tinue to grow big crops, and thereby
reduce the cost of living.
Responsibility causes US all to do
our best. The farmer of today is be-
ginning to realize tie responsibility
that rests upon him. He is awaken
ing to the fact that he as a citizen,
mucn is expected of him, and he is
showing his interest by taking and
reading papers of news. He is s. ow-
ing an interest in political conditions
of the times, and each year he becomes
more powerful in citizenship.
Some oflour greatest statesmen and
congressman were farmers. Benjamin
r. Tillman, South Carolina's senior
senator, is one of her most progressive
farmers; our junior senator, E. D.
Smith, was a farmer, and Congressman
A. F. Lever was born and reared on
farm And SO it is throughout the
nation today. More b:an two-thirds OF
our statesmen have come from the
farms.
South Carolina's present governor,
Richard l. Manning, is one of her most
successful farmers, the smartest and
most powerful citizens are farmers.
The farmers money builds our most
expensive educational buildings, and
they furnish the brightest and strong
est boys and girls for these institu-
tions.
To prove the faith and confidence
that South Carolina has in the farmer
and the need of more farmers as citi-
zens, they are supporting Winthrop
Normal and Industrial college for the
farmers daughters, and Clemson Ag-
ricultural college for the farmers
sons.
