Let the State strive to educate its cit
liens instead of striving to build up
institutions"
After citing the laws of New York
awarded TO students to be used at any
accredited college in the state, Dr..
Douglas makes the suggestions as fol-
lows:
81. Let the legislature appoint a
strong central committee headed by
the State Superintendent of Education
give this committee the power to fix
the standard a college must maintain
in order to be graded as an approved
college and the right to investigate the
work of all colleges applying for state
recognition Should any colleges re-
fuse to give the information desired,
it's name would simply be stricken
from the list.
This committee would exercise no
control over the college. 1t would
simply have the right to investigate.
report and determine what recognition
it shall receive from the state.
"2. a. Then have the Legislature
abolish all scholarships now in exist

training and establish say, about 1000
new ones worth Approximately $7o
apiece; require all state colleges to
charge tuition fec Of $l0 and $50 for

-. Or, let the legislature abolish
all tuition fees in state Institutions, as
has been recommended by the State
board Of Education, and allow the
church college S75 for every student
from the state they educate. The
church people Of this state who are
undertaking to run colleges pay at
least two-thirdS Of the taxes. If YOU
include the care Of students, ii costs
e state at least $3.50 for each stu
dent educated in a state college. The
churches paving the bills say to the
State, We Will educate these young
men and women ourselves and pay the
taxes necessary for state institutions
if you will allow us $40 to educate our
students it is now ostng YOU 500 to

CROSS HILL NEWS.


Cross Hill, Dec. 27.-One of the best
plays we have seen in long time
was given by the high school pupils
at the school auditorium last Wednes
day evening. From beginning to end
| it was both amusing and exciting. Ev-
cry character Of the play was suitably
represented and well rendered There
was no dull part in it. Mrs. Tubs OF
Shanty Town" is the title of the play
and represents the hardshps, yet
cheerful and hopeful perseverance, Of
a widow laundry woman who is strug-
Cling to rear a number Of children.
An old man, who finally fell heir to
a good fortune, census taker, a
school teacher, and IL widower who
was hunting his fourth wife, made up
the other chief characters. Miss Iell
Goodman, who represented Mrs. Tubs
was just splendid all the way through.
Miss Lillian Martin, an old visiting
lady, who never says anything harm
full of any one, and Miss Ruth Rasor,
IAN old maid, who with her inherited
fortune finally saved the family from
being cast out on the streets, were
very amusing. The children, Misses
Sudie Lowe and Mary Griffin and Mas
tcrs Jack Wilcutt and Hugh Miller
I.caman, had q large share in the
make up of the entertainment Bur-
row Hill. the census takcr, Miss Essie
Brown, the school teacher, and Jake
Rasor, the three times removed wild
over were all important characters.
Several others came in at the windup
and helped TO complete the scene. Miss
Clara Dukes, q visitor, was the most
important Of these. Frank Miller, the
runaway boy, Albert Dial, Johnolla
Austin, and Alma Coleman made up
the other characters. These young
people were greeted with an attentive
and apprcciativc audience and realized
nearly $4,000 from their entertainment
for the school.
The Cross Hill school closed Thurs
day for the Christmas holidays, after
an interesting program Of appropri-
ate Christmas exercises in the morn
ing. Songs. Rccita!ions. reading. etc,
were included in the program, and last
but by no means least was beautiful
christmas tree given TO the children.
Every heart was made glad. The
whole auditorium seemed filled with
sunshine and JOY as Santa Claus hand
cd out the three or four hundred pres
cnts. one by one, to the anXiously
waiting children. After these eXcrcis-
es Mr.. Culbertson read letter from
the United Daughters of the Confcd-
cracy, presenting table to the school
as Christmas gift, for use in the au-
dtorium. Following the usual part
ing greetings, the school adjourned
until January 3rd.

THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO

In the early part Of the year it was
evident that Francisco Villa had the
ambition to become the political War
wick of the republic of Mexico. On
January 7 he deposed the provisional
governor, Gutierrez, and installed Gen.
eral Cara in his places He was still
master of the situation at the City of
Mexico, and Carranza still maintained
his stand at Vera Cruz. Meantime, the
fighting went on uninterruptedly, with
varying results, but none decisive.
In June the situation on the border
and elsewhere became SO irritating
that the United States government
felt compelled to give official warning
to the factional leaders that failure on
their part to come to some agreement
would necessitate Intervention. De-
spite this intimation, the forces of
Villa and Carranza continued to keep
revolution afame, and by midsummer
the Mexican situation seemed to be
more inexplicable than ever. Villas
star waned perceptibly. A new mill
tary influence, General Obregon, took
the center Of the stage. He assumed
the leadership of the Carranza faction,
and his military successes were con-
siderable. In July General Gonzales,
another CarranZa supporter, fought his
way into Mexico City, displacing Cen
eral Zapata, who held the place in the
Villa interest. Later, Gonzales was
driven out and the situation was so
threatening to life and property in the
capital that, in August, American bat
tleships were ordered to Vera Cruz,
but were not put into action. In this
month, also, an appeal signed by Sec
rotary of State Lansing and the repre-
sentatives of South and Central Amer
lean governments asking all warning
elements in Mexico to get together in
an attempt at pacification was sent to
the various leaders. During Septem-
Der the fighting on the Mexican border
grew more desperate. There were
many fatalities before United States
troops gained control of the situation.
On October 10, nine of the principal
governments Of the American hemi-
sphere, headed by the United States,
recognized the de facto government of
Mexico Of which Carranza is the chief.

On August 10 the British liner
Arabic was torpedoed by German
submarine and several Americans
were drowned. A lively diplomatic
controversy followed, and the tension
In the United States was at the break
ing point. On September Z the Ger
man government notified the United
States that the captain of the subma-
rine had torpedoed the Arabic in self
defense, believing that she was about
to ram him. On September 9 the
United States asked Austria Hungary
to recall Doctor Dumba, its ambassa-
dor, charged with being active in a
movement. to cripple American manu-
facture of munitions. On October 5

the act of the submarine captain who
sank the Arabic. At this time it was
announced that the pending French
British loan of $5OO,O00,0OO had been
oversubscribed.
The United States secret service,
October "a, arrested a young man who
called himself Robert Fay and de-
clared that he was a lieutenant in the
German army and came to America to

in December, the Washington govern
ment demanded the recall of the Ger.
man attaches, Boyd and Won Papen,
on the ground of pernicious activity.
They were recalled by the kaiser.
