REASONS FOR VOTING
ADDITIONAL TAX FOE SCHOOLS

In a statement made by the board
Of trustees Of the NeWberry city
schools a few days ago, some urgent
needs OF the schools were presen ed
to the people OF the Newberry school
district. 1t was stated at that time
that the fifth grade in both the Boun-
dary and Speers street schools has
an enrolment Of over SO pupils each,
that one room at West End has D
daily attendance OF over 70 pupils,
and that the Hoge school has classes
with over 80 pupils to the teacher.
A plan for the Improvement OF the
high school was presented. A teach.
er of domestic science is needed. A
good business course is needed for
the benefit OF the boys and girls who
must work on leaving the high school.
Another need at the high school Is
the addition of an eleventh grade.
The Newberry schools are reported
annually by the State high school in
spector as in Class 3, and it is nee
essary to add an eleventh grade be-
fore our school can take 1t place IN
Class A, along with the other good
schools in the State. The need OF an
eleventh grade is emphasized by the
fact that Winthrop, the University,
the Citadel, and nearly all Of the de-
nominational colleges now require
fourteen units for entrance to the
Freshman class. and it is necessary
to have four years in the high school
- fn,1rfdhn 11n1fS
In order to meet these and ether
needs in the schools an additional
annual tax of two mills is necessary,
and an election on the question OF
levying this additional tax will be
held at the court house on April II.
NeTberry now has FIVE mills for
running expenses and one for bonds.
IF the citizens vote the additional
levy the city Will have seven mills
for running expenses and one for
bonds, or total OF eight mills for
school purposes.
Information from the State depart
ment of education shows the follow
ing levy for schools in other cities
about the size Of Newherry, and small
Ter. The figures indicate the levy
for both purposes. running expenses

HELP OLD CONFEDERATES
ATTEND GENERAL REUNION

MIR. Editor:
The reunion of the Confederate
veterans which will be held at Wash
ington, D. C. in June, will be in many
respects the most memorable gather
ing ever held by the survivors OF the
cause We all love so well. On ac-
count of their advancing age and In
tirmities it is extremely daubtful II
another general reunion will ever be
held. AS a slight token of apprecla-
ton for the heroism and sacrifice OF
the Confederate soldier, l have con-
cluded to pay the expenses OF one
veteran who could not go otherwise.
Have ascertained that the entire
COST VIII amount to Twenty-one and
l5-i0O dollars.
Am satisfied there are fifteen to
twenty battle-scarred old soldiers IN
this county who would be delighted
TO 90 under similar circumstances.
Can't provision be made for all or
them to attend?

before congress convenes on April
Q" said Governor Manning today. The
governor has just returned from
Washington, where he had a con-
ference with Secretary of War Baker.
AS result of that conference Gov
ernor Manning is impressed with a
belief that war will be declared al
most az soon as congress eonvenes
and that the South Carolina troops
will soon be called into federal ser
vice.
.4overncr Manning was accompanl-
ed on his visit to the secretary OF
war by Governor Stuart, of Virginia.
The national guard of many other

Dogs Guard the Children.

Police dogs as life guards may be-
come common soon, says the Minnea-
polls journal. The other day, when
the children of Mr.. and Mrs. John S.
Phipps dashed into the surf at Palm
Beach, they were accompanied by two
large police dogs.
The children swan about, the dogs
swimming alongside of them as
guardians. The dogs had been train
ed as life guards, and amazed the
spectators by their skill and fidelity
The children, who are expert SWIM
mers, played at being in distress.
Whichever way they swan the dogs
were right beside them. Mr.. Phipps
had them trained to swim close TO a
child in difficulty, Offering their
sturdy backs as supports.

Collie Folio. Seeing that he was
limping, l spoke in kindly tones, and
quick as a flash his splendid brush
waved his appreciation, and with a
trustfulness rare to see he turned
back to me and held up his lame foot
as if to see if my friendly tone and
manner were genuine. l stopped to
offer help, and did all / could by eX-
tracing a piece of glass, and treated
him as / would one of my own. He
could not thank me enough for the
kind turn, and now he is my friend
forever. He never passes me by with

you that is as true as any word man
could Offer"

City Clerk. The City Clerk involv-

of $3.50 for his days work in con-
nection with the Federal registration
on June 5.
The Adjutant Generals Office was
advised today that the man in ques-
ton has been reduced from his po-

suit of his claiming Uncle Sans

service which was rendered by every

PLAN TO DESTROY
TRAFFIC ON LAKES
PLOTTERs SEEKING TO DELAY
ORGANIZATION OF L. ).
ARMIES.

Washington, July 3.--Secret in
vestigation by Government agents
has disclosed the existence of great
conspiracy to destroy or hinder ship
ping on the Great Lakes, and there
by delay organization of American
war armies and check the flow of
food and munitions material from the
Western States TO the Atlantic
Coast
No conspirators have been cap
tured and the identity of none has
been made public, but it was learned
yesterday that the State, Navy and
Justice Departments are cooperating
to bring the offenders to punishment
and that the Canadian Government
probably, will be called upon TO help.
This plot, engineered by Germans
assisted by sympathizing American
citizens. is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the succession of acct
dents to lake shipping, especially in
the neighbOrhood OF the Sault Ste
Marie Canal. which began about a
month ago. The steamers SaXonia
and Pentecost Mitchell were sunk at
the mouth of the 500 River with the
channel. Then there was the sinking
OF the steamer Venetian Maid in the
Detroit River with the loss of one
life, aud later came an attempt to
dynamite the steamer Mackinac. The
Kasaga II. was blown up and burned
and the Jay Dee III. and the Niagara
had their machinery wrecked.
All of these vessels had been or
we're about to be taken over by the
Navy Department, and the investi-
cations of the Department OF Justice
and the Navy Department have tend
ed to the conclusion that what were
believed TO have been accidents were
the acts of conspirators seeking to
hamper the Government in their
prosecution of the war.
Just how much the Government
agents have learned is not revealed,
but officials have concluded that thS
public should know of the situation
in general way, believing that
publicity may make the operations
of the Germans more difficult or i'm
possible.

thorities is needed TO run down the

Gunsight Lake Cabin Upon a Spot
Where "a Former Chalet Had Two
Exciting Adventures.

Wanderers over the magnifcently
scenic trails of Glacier National Park
this summer will find their travel
eased by the new shelter cabins under
construction by the National Park
Service, Department of the Interior.
Instead of camping in the open, the
hiker and trail rider will find at
convenient intervals picturesque log
cabins awaiting them. Here they will
find shelter from storm and wind.
The cabins are equipped with tables,
chairs, and satisfactory cook stove
provided with large pots and pans
of the sort that is inconvenient to
lug around.
There will be two of these cabins
on the celebrated Gunsight Trail, the
route over the Continental Divide be-
tween Lake McDermott on the east
and Lake Mcdonald on the west. One
of these is located just south of Pie
gan Pass, a natural resting and
luncheon spot for travellers in both
directions. The other is at the foot
of Gunsight Lake, with Gunsight
Pass outlined against the western
sky
