man. thousands of soldiers who are
sencamped in and around Ell Pas1,
many of the leading citizens of the city

scores of solicitors (strangers) they.
have decided to reward their friends
and patrons who will help in the
work. The awarding Of the prizes
will be left in the hands of business
and professional men of Newberry.
This assures absolute fair and impair

then, YOU know, the person who does
that is never appreciated by his CO.

ness of having pointed the way and
the satisfaction of the knowledge that
sooner or later the people will come
to his way of thinking, though they
will never acknowlege that he ever

In my last l had something to say
about the schools and so on. l do
not recall just what l did say, but
l know it was all right and along
the right lines, though l have little
doubt that some of the modern school
teachers and professors did not agree
with me. l sometimes believe that
there is more to be gotten out of the
old blue back speller and Smiths
grammar than any of the modern
books. learned by heart" all those
33 rules in Smith and even to this
day when l hear some public speaker
get up and use wrong grammar one or
more of those rules Immediately ap-
pears to my mental vision.
Talking about schools l hear tha{
the county board of education and the
Newberry school district are taking
into the Newberry district all the ter
ritorv contiguous to It. 1t reminds
me of what l used to hear the old
folk say about Mr.. Fred H. Doninick,
not the CONGRESSMAN, but his grand
father. Every salesday he would be
in Newberry and he always bought
land. He was a big land owner. l
can remember that it was said Oh
him that he wanted to buy all the
land that Joined his. If the expan-
sion idea of Newberry district con-
tinues it will take in all the districts
that adjoin it. l know that it does
not make any difference to the peo-
ple what l think about it and to tell
the plain truth it makes no more diff
ference to me what the people think
about what l think, than it does to
them, But here 1t is and they can
read it and think about 1t or not
lust as they like, but l am going TO
saw whrt l think regardless OF what
any one else thinks. That is salppos-
inc of course that any of us really
and truly thinks. And that is the cry
inc need today of our schools and
orr people-none of us think, and
when we do try to think we so often
think wrong, or from our own selfish
motives and purposes and interests.

But really and TRULY have thought
sometimes, and l still! have the habit,
and somehow I just can't get rid OF
it. But here goes:

getting more mpney-and that IS the
real meat in the cocanut-it would
be a whole lot better to develop the
high school and cooperate with the
schools in the county to bring up
the common schools so that the chill
dren might come from these country
schools to the high, school at New
berry. And make it free to all the
children of the county. And deyel-
op it to the very highest point OF
efficiency. Then you would be doing
something for the education OF all
the children of the county. But we
need to encourage the country school
to develop, and have las many rurai

WHAT CEASAR DID.
(Ohio- (Motorist.)
when Ceasar took a westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls for Rome,
Whit was the first thing that he dlo
To make them feel at home?
Did he increase the peoples loads
and liberty forbid
No, he dug in and built good roads
That's what old Ceasar did.
"Did Ceasar put the iron heel
Upon the foeman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel
That Rome rule was the best?
What did he do to make them glad
He came their lands amid?
He built good roads in place OF bad
That's what old ICeasar did.
"He built good roads from hill to hlll'
Good roads from vale to vale;
He ran Ia good roads movement
Till old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home
Build roads their ruts to rid,
Until all roads led to Rome
That's what old Ceasar die.
If any town would make itself
The center of the map,
Where folks will come and settle
down
And live in plent!'s lap; 7
If any town it's own abodes
Of poverty would rid;
Let it 20 out and build good roads
Just like old Ceasar did"
The Appian Way was built 300
years before Christ by Appius Clau-
dius. one of Rome's greatest gener-
ais. connecting Rome with Capua, anu
later was extended to Brandisi. Thls
HIGHWAY is still bearing the burdens
of commerce and the fame of the
builder, which proves that there is no
monument so enduring as highway.
That is good dope. The best IN
vestment that the people can make
is money put in the building of roads
and the wonder to me is that with the
great number of automobiles. in this
county and the great number of peo-
nile interested in the sale Of these
things that there is not more interest
in the building and maintenance OF
rcnds But there isn't And a lot OF
peorIe will not do anything, they tell
me. because some one else may get
a little benefit from what he has done.
It is wonderful and remarkable just
how selfish human nature really is.
And then We are living in a Christian
age. It should teach us, if it teaches
anything, to serve one another and
to help one another. I fear some
times we haven't got the right brand.
The right kind is all right. If more
# us had it there wouldn't be so mucn
need of so many laws and so many
'aw officers.

URGE AGAINST CARELESSNESS

An hour, or a few minutes, judicially
devoted to precaution, may prevent
the loss of your home by fire this
winter. Elimination of carelessness
from your daily habits will do as
much. That will be the keynote
sounded Monday, national fire preven-
ton day, in a one-day campaign for
fire prevention by heads of the
city fire marshaTs office Working
in conjunction with the federal gov
eminent, heads of the department. in
Guiding Joseph Hanlon, fire chief,
Joseph Waidelich, assistant fire chief.
and William Cawker. deputy building
inspector, will divide the city into dis
tricts and one GO tnetn will address
the seventh and eighth grades OF every
school in the city.
The children will be urged to work
for the abolition of the menace, care
lessness, in their homes.
That one thing, according to Chler
Hanlon, is the cause of the greater
number of preventable fires in the
city. The chief issues a warning
against carelessness in burning leaves
and trash.
Dead vegetation, he points out,
should, as required by ordinance, be
burned more than twenty-five feet
away from buildings. The ordinance
prohibits burning it after night, on
paved streets or when the wind is
high.
Inspection of chimneys, furnace
pipes and stove pipes before firing

unuse this summer they may have
