SHOULD ACQUIRE TIE
DICTIONARY HABIT

Hoard's Dairyman calls attention to
one subject that should have attention
in this connection-the need for hav-
ing and using a good dictionary in
every home. Every bookshelf ought to
begin with the Bible and dictionary
(not the cheapest, smallest one you
can get either, but really good one) E,
and then other books should be added
as asst as possible. We know no bet
ter way by which the uneducated man
may educate himself than by following
the simple plan Of keeping good die
tionary on the center-table and asking
it to pronounce and define every word
he comes across in his reading.
The importance of this subject IS
further emphasized by Miss Elizabeth
D. IA,bernathy in a letter We recently
received from her in which she points
out that the textbook on agriculture
contains no explanation showing chill
dren how to pronounce polarization,
celydon. potein, ETC., and other
words numbers of which she also finds
are not included in the child's school
dictionary! Miss Abernathy adds:
az am also a farmer, but formerly
I taught country school. Ten years
ago the hardest problem the rural
school teacher had to solve was how
to teach correct pronunciation. Chill
dren were forced to depend upon the
teacher for help to call words in all
their studies. These 'spoon-fed' pu-
! pills seldom learned to read we'll be-
yond the Third Reader. The teacher
could do little but pronounce words
for them"
Get the dictionary habit yourself
as you may need it, and by all means
insist upon your children acquiring

PROGRESSIVENESS OF THE
"MOONLIGHT SCHOOL IDEA

'GThese fractions are fine! 1 never
was able to figure load of corn be-
fore and know that was getting what
was coming to me. You bet You I can
now"
Such was the proud boast the other
day of a 64-year-old farmer studying
in the moonlight schools of Oklahoma
a man who a few weeks before
could manage to write his name but
mighty few folks cou'd read it."
And all over the South this sort Of
glorious work is now going on, North
Carolina at one end and Oklahoma at
the other being equally interested One
farmer we heard of the other day had
never been able to sign his name to
his. bank checks, but after going to
school Few nights the cashier saw
him come in and instead of making
his mark, picked up the pen with the
proud exclamation, "Now, see her
rip" and dashed off his full name
without help. In the Oklahoma school
in which the 64-year-old farmer learn
ed his fractions, a writer describing
the opening night says:
"The pupils came, and the kerosene
lamps illuminated a strange scene.
Some came afoot, some horseback, and
some in wagons, bringing the wife and
babies. There were three pallets on
the teachers rostrum that night, and
there slept babies while the parents
worked. They sat in the seats
where their children and even grand
children sat by day Some of them
were put in the chart class. others
could start in the primer, and some
who could read to1erably, plunged into
the mysteries OF arithmetic"
Only this morning as We write this
a report comes to US of moonlight
school" (or perhaps it would be more
accurate to call them might schoo1s"),
not many miles from our office in
which "a men and women were en-
rolled, the pupils not only learning to
read and write, but getting pretty
good start in arithmetic. Learning
figures" is popular because nearly
everybody wishes to know that he is
getting the right pay when he sells
anything and not being cheated when
he buys.-The Progressive Farmer.

ANOTHER OBJECTION.

"One section of the anti-compact
bill prevents rebating, but with the
exception that it does not apply to m
surance placed by or through the State
warehouse system. This gives the
warehouse commissioner the right to
place insurance On other property than
cotton and the insurance people object
very much to this, which they think
is discriminating against them.
'It the provision giving the insur-
ance commissioner the right to review
and make rates had been left out OF
the anti-compact bill, the fire insur-
ance companies would not have with
drawn from South Carolina.
The object of this statement is to
impress upon the people the utter
hopelessness of the companies coming
back ;nto South Carolina as long as
this law stands, because, as shown
above, it was passed as a result Of out

HIS INFORMANT.

When Illicit distilling was common
in Ireland there was an old man who
went about the country repairing
whiskey pots. The gauger met him
one day and asked him what he would
take to inform him (the gauger) where
he repaired the last whiskey pot.
"Och," said the old man I'll just
take half a crown"
"Done!" retorted the gauger. Here
is your money, but be careful to tell
me the truth"
"Och," I'll tell you no lie, sir. l

SAD INDEED.

A Boston school teacher had read
Whittier's MAUD Muller" to her pu-
pills, and at the close of her reading
spoke of the sorrowful significance of
the words, "It might have been" She
asked the boys and girls if they could
think of any four sadder words. One
alert youngsler Of . dozen years held
up his hand and said:
Il know two sadder words.
What are they?" asked the teach
er.

ALLEGED CAUSES.

The killing of the bill introduced
at the request of the insurance com
missioner giving him authority to re-
view the rates made by the Southeast
ern Tariff association; outside inter
.serence and the getting even Of the
insurance commissioner, who tagged
on the anti-compact bill the provision
giving him the right to review rates;
and ignorance of conditions on the
part of the trainers of the bill.
-HThe killing of the bill, house bill
No. 40 and senate bill No 81, intro
auced at the request Of the insurance
commissioner, giving him the author
ity to review rates made by the South
eastern Tariff association for this
State, which was done by the South
eastern itself with outside assistance.
Had this bill not been interfered with
and been permitted to pass not COM
pany in South Carolina would have
withdrawn, neither would the South
eastern Tariff association have been
driven out, but the people of the State
would have been very largely oene-
Fitted by equalizing the rates, and
where they were too high they would
have been gradually reduced. This is
evidenced by the fact that in the
States of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri
and Oklahoma the rates are revised
by the insurance commissioner. In
the States of Texas and Kansas, the
State has the absolute power to make
rates and the companies are doing bus
mess at the same old stand.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1916-03-14
HOW IT WAS DONE?

The Laney bill, which drove out
the Southeastern Tariff association,
was framed very largely by men who
are not familiar with insurance bus
mess. and have no correct knowledge
OF the relationship between the South
eastern Tariff association and the con-
GAMES themselves. Had they realized
at the time of drawing this bill its
far-reaching effects they would have
sent it, not to the committee on agr1-
culture, but to the committee On bank
ing and insurance. They would also
have consulted the insurance comn1s-
ssioner a great deal more than they
did.
When the bill had passed the Sen
ate and the insurance commissioner IS
hill had been killed by the Southeast
ern Tariff association and their asso-
ciates, the insurance commissioner
aad the anti-compact bill amended by
giving him authority to revise the
rates and it was passed giving the in
surance commissioner the authority to
review rates, when as matter of fact
the Southeastern Tariff association,
having been driven out and the State
having no machinery for making rates
itself, there is nothing left for the COM
panies to do but to establish, each
company for itself, rating bureau
{or South Carolina, an expense and a
trouble that the business Of South Car
DINA will not justify any company to
do. There isn't the slightest prob
ability of any company attempting it.
and the sooner the insuring public
undertakes the situation the better OF
ahey are going to be.

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with are kept in such
condition as to furnish efficient service Where the
of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sonally if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year. and that at least
experienced telephone assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line makes the amount paid by each man
SMALL and this cost will be more than Offset by the
improved service.
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this Sec
ton are experiencing trouble with their service,
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.

.O'HANLON OUT
 FOR WOODROW
SAYS WILSON HAS MADE GOOD
Editor of the Legislature and Labor Nesw In Strong Editorial Urges Workingmen to Cast Their Votes for Wilson.

ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 1.-John O'Hanlon, editor of the Legislative and Labor News, who has been widely quoted as indorsing Hughes on his record as Governor of New York, in an editorial today comes out, strong ly in favor of President Wilson.
 O'Hanlon declares that Wilson has earned the united support of the workers by his splendid program and humanitarian legislation. "Wilson has made good, Hughes did not," he says. Hughes, in attacking the Adam. son bill, impugns the sincerity of in- telligent labor, and is charging labor with greed and intimidation of Con- gress. O'Hanlon urges every working man to cast his ballot for President.
