NOTEWORTHY SUlf
CLOSED AT JASPER

A noteworthy suit was settled
in circuit court at Jasper Monday
of this week, namely one of long
standing between P. R. Hack
worth and John Heron, both
citizens of the Cedar Springs
district of Marion County. The
suit reaches back several years
add the community has been
drawn into the matter until
practically all had taken one side
or the other. Now it is settled
and the olive branch is waving
triumphantly. Hackworth and
Heron became mixed up in
some controversy and Hackworth
charged Heron with hitting him
in the head with a rock. 1t was
compromised in this court after
having been up for years, Her.
ron agreeing to pay Hackworth
$500 and half the count costs,
and each litigant to pay his own
witnesses. This latter item will
be small as the friends of the
parties, it is said, will gladly con
tribute their fees and expenses,
delighted that a settlement has
been reached on an amicable bas-

very trying experiences and the reali-
zation of the artifcialities OF her
mode of life she settles down and
marries. But after a few years of
marie. bliss her husbands fondness
for gayety and night revels almost
wrecks her happiness forever. The
climax comes when he brings suit
for divorce and offers perjured testI-
mony to discredit the wife's reputa-
ton. He also fights for the custody
of their child, but the suffering wife
startles the court and spectators with
the declaration that her husband is
not the child's father. The judge,
however, suspects that this is not
true and eventually, after the "other
woman in the case shows her true
colots, the husband and wife are re-
united.

for rural graded schools; the Rector
Ford bill providing an eQualizing fund
for weak districts; the Rector -Smoak
bill relating to agriculture, and the
Laney bill concerning vocational
training.
"As usual there was mass Of local
legislation. Bond issues, tax elections,
school buildings, the selection or
trustees and scores of other matters
are covered by these local laws. The
growing habit of enacting so much
local legislation is still further com,
plicating the school code. Until the
State can secure a revision of it's gen.
eral school laws, it is not unlikely
that this mass of local legislation will
continue.
"As far as practical conferences Of
trustees and teachers will be held In
a number of counties during March.
April and May in order that local
school officers may become thorough
" familiar with the new school laws.
"The general county supply bill
carries a large number of provisions
relating to local taxes, salaries, coIn-
ty board funds, summer schools and
other details.
con the whole, the legislature is to
be congratulated on it's constructive
work for education, and especially for
the public schools. The session has

The voters of Charleston county
will pass on the question ot issuing
S275,OO0 in bonds for building good
roads and constructing bridges at a
date to be set by the sanitary and
drainage commission.
The Sumter delegation passed an
act providing for issuing OF bonds by
townships in Sumter county not to
exceed 8 per cent OF the taxable prop
erty of the townships, the election to
be ordered after three weeks notice
upon petition from 20 per cent OF the
qualified electors of a township by the
commissioner and the highway COM
mission for the county is to be en-
posed Of L. D. Jennings, as chairman;
J. P. Booth, M. L. Parler, D. V. Keils
as commissioner, and the county gu
pervisor. Under this act. Sumter
county could issue $63S,06S.48 in
bonds for building good roads.
The passage Of the State highway
commission act will provide for fu-
ture construction of highways under
State supervision and provides for
State registration and licensing OF ap-
tomobiles and motor driven vehicles.
The commission consists of the heads
of the engineering department of the
Citadel. Clemson and the University
and two members to be named by the
governor. They will employ a road
engineer. South Carolina will thus
qualify for her share of the federal
good roads appropriations, amuontins
this year to about $150,000.
If the road building in the counties
which are providing for bond issues
proves successful it is expected that
the rest of the counties will issue
good roads bonds when the legisla-
ture meets in 1913.

LEGISLATURE DID MUCH FOR
SCHOOLS SAYS SWEARlN&ES

This is an education legislature"
ssaid J. e. Swearingen, State superin-
%endent of education, in commenting
ON the recent session OF the general
assembly. Liberal appropriations
were made for the institutions Of
higher learning, while the appropia-
lions to the public schools are the
highest in the history Of the State.
Our annual investment in education is
growing from year to year, but it is
still far below the average for the
nation
Continuing Mr.. SwearinSen said:
1.-The policy Of the general assem-
sbly in providing aid for the public
schools is based on the principle of
local district taxation. and this prin-
-ciple was consistently adhered 70 in
1917.
'"The State superintendent report
shows an expenditure of STOP per
white child, and $50 per negro
child The lawmakers sought espe-
cially to raise these averages in COM
Runities where the people are willing
10 cooperate and to take care of the
weak places.
~'The total Of public school appro-
priations is s444,10O The ten items
6ncluded in the public school section
are:
For lengthening the school
term in districts unable to
run FIVE months ..........S $4,000
For rural graded schools in
districts voting a local tax
of 4 mills or more ....... 187,500
For high schools .......... $4,000
FOR public school buildings :. $4,000
For an equalizing fund to be
used in needy schools, and
especially in making up the
deficit in districts voting
local tax of 8 mills and un-
able to run seven months $4,000
For teaching of agriculture 10000
For public school libraries :. 5000
For night schools ...... $500
For school improvement work 2,100
For State board of education 1000
Weak and Needy Districts Protected.
"Any community desiring better
school, but not now having local
tax, may secure term extension aid
this spring by voting a mill levy in
March, April or May Trustees and
teachers in such needy districts
should consult their county superin-
aendent at once
''The Rector-Riddle bill extends to
school employing four teachers or five
teachers the benefits of the rural
graded school act of 1912. This meas
are will prove stimulating to districts
with large enrolment as we'll as to
districts in which consolidation Of
school has brought together more
than 100 children in central build
Ing. In the populous Piedmont coun-
Ges, scores of progressive communi-
ties will be benefited by this new law.
MIR. Rector's experience at the An
county and Mr.. Riddles experience at
the Four Holes school in Orangeburg
county enabled them to prepare and
present the necessity for this legisla-
ton. The item of S187,500 for these
schools shows the willingness of the
Legislature to provide adequate facili-
-3ies for any rural district whose tax
payers vote upon themselves a mill
-aevy to help support their school
"The high school appropriation has
eopened city and town schools to
country pupils Under the act of 1915.

girls are now enrolled in the eighth,
