from a man who had been locked up

so many years. We are glad to see
that he has arranged for community

The Columbia Record has an edi-
torial in a recent issue about the
school being the community centre,
and refers to an article or circular
issued by the head of the federal de-
partment Of education suggesting the
idea It talks as if the idea was q
new one. If Miss Lizzie Hawkins and
Miss Anna Dickert will pardon the
use of their names We are sure they
will testify that they heard that song
about four or five years ago until
they almost got sick hearing it. we
talked it to every school that we visit
ed some four years ago and these
young ladies were assisting US in the
Office about that time and were visit
ing schools with US. We are glad that
these other distinguished educators
have walked up to the Importance and
value in the educational development
of the country to moking the school

to us and an endorsement of our po-
sftion then.

We stood for certain things in the
years gone. and that many Of the
things that are now being done and
advocated are old TO Us. but We will
help all We can those who are now
working along that line.
We sincerely trust that the legisla-
ture will do something to make this
building G real community building.
AS we have said many times before.
there are very few counties so for
tunately situated as Newberry IN the
having Of such q good building 80
suitable for such a purpose. That IS
the reason we helped to keep it from

The Abbeville Press and Banner
says that it is waking up things

that it is. 1t says that there was &
man who lived in the town who did
not believe in advertising. And he
was connected with a bank. But that
man has walked up and finds now that
it pays a bank to advertise. The

They are now planning a new capt.
tai building or buildings so as to en-
large the Office room fore the new de-
partments of the government that
have been established in the last few
years. The plans suggested are in all
practical purposes the same as the
plans made by Mr.. A. S. Todd, except
that he, joined the additions to the
buildings right up against and as a
part Of. the present capital building,
while the plans now proposed add
two buildings on either side Of the
present building, but separate anu
apart from the present building.
mere IS no doubt in our mind that
it would ssbe economy for the State
to provide quarters for its officers
rather than rent apartments in the
different office buildings about the
capital, and. then in addition to that
it would be so much more convenient
for the. people who wanted to see
the officials to be able to find them
around the same place, instead OF
having to go to the different sky
scrapers about the city of Columbia
and take elevators to find the Offices
And as matter of act the interest. Oh
the investment would not be as mucn
as the rent that is now being paid
and the State already owns the land.
We have always contended that 1t
Hould be good business judgment to
own the buildings necessary for the
homes of the professors at the Uni
versity instead of paying rent, and
the same is true as to Offices for the
new departments that are being es-
aablished from year to year. Yes, pu.
Up the buildings necessary and levy
a tax to pay for them.

We published in the last issue the
names of the committee appointed
to confer with the legislative delega-
ton in regard to making the old court
house building a community building
for the county. 1t is a good propo-
sition as The Herald and News has
held from the time it urged the peo-
ple to vote against the proposition to
remove the old building from the pub
lie square. Something like that
should be done. It is too good build
ing to tear down and should be used
for a library for the county and
for a rest room for the ladies and
for the men, and the upstairs for al
auditorium. That is the right thing
to do, and we are 80 glad that even at
this late date those who some years
ago could not see it that way are now
in favor of it, and maybe by their
good offices the legislative delegation
will grant their request and pass some
sort of legislation which will realize
the dream Of The Herald and News
of years ago. 1t would be a little
interesting to US to know just how
many of the committee appointed to
memorialize the delegation to do this
thing were opposed to tearing down
the building when it was referred to
the people in the primary. Don't for
get though that The Herald and News
is with you and will do all we can
to helm You bring about what We
dreamed and urged years ago.
