Love Logic
The following points are of vital interest
to the people of this nation, and will be dis
cussed in greater detail in separate adver-
tisements appearing in this paper at inter
walls until the start of the Victory Liberty
Loan:
/. This nation--your country and mine---has an unpaid
balance of some billions of dollars of war debtor a
Victory that we are now enjoying.
g. The nation must pay this debt---if tt to continue to
exist as a nation among the nations of the world.
3. There are only two ways that the nation can secure
the money-by the sale of bonds tor notes. and by
taxes. @s@a1a@
4. Taxes are already high and yet insufficient to meet
our outstanding war obligations.
5. Therefore notes Cor bondsl must be sold.
~ 6. Again, there are only two ways that several billions
of dollars ofnotes or bonds can be sod-to the banks
or to the people.
7. If they are placed with the banks, industry, commerce
~t your business will suffer. The banks would be unable
to purchase several billion dollars of Liberty Bonds
and continue to loan money in sufficient quantities and
at a fair rate to the business man. You cannot have
your pudding and eat it, too.
s. 1t is, therefore, your business and my business to
prepare for the Victory Liberty Loan; that we may
then invest as largely as each of us individually can
for Americas welfare and for our own.

fifteen hundred dollar truck. This
truck was paid for by individuals and
not with school funds. 1t is daily used
to bring in twenty-five high school
pupils and forty pupils from former
branch school of the Hemingway dis
trict.
In the very near future electric
lights and sanitary water and toilet
system will be installed in the high
school building. More than four thou
sand dollars from the pockets Of the
believers in progre essive education OF
these communities will be used to i'm
prove the school facilities of this sys-
tenn this year. Several nights ago
more than sixteen hundred dollars was
collected at an ordinary box supper
(note the occasion). Seven hundred
and fifty dollars was paid for one
cake. Is the above sufficient proof for
the writer's statement in the begin
ming?
Get the people interested and things
will happen.
This system now employs sixteen
full time white teachers, including
the music teacher, and has four hun
dred pupils enrolled. Conditions are
yet crowded. Other improvements must
be made. Plans are now being made
for four additional rooms to the high
school building, teacherage for the
teachers and boarding pupils, and at
least two additional teachers. These
improvements are absolutely essential
and the people realize it.
This centralized high school is sup
plying the educational needs Of the
community. A regular classical course
is offered along with the special feat
domestic science for the girls
and agriculture for the boys.
For the educational benefit and
amusement of the people old and
Young the best lyceum course the
company was able to offer is being
staged here.
The writer does not claim credit
for the success of this system. The
success is due to the interest and CO.
operation of the people of these COM
munities, the excellent corps of teach
ers, and the aid and cooperation OF the
State department of education.

Signs of Christmas

Christmas is coming down here, no
doubt,
If folks are to judge by a sign,
The children are awfully busy about,
And as easy to get to mind,
Why, it's Mamma, I'll bring in the
coal and wood"
And-"Papa I'll go for the mai"
l never saw children so awfully good
And Christmas will come if the
signs don't fail!
Yes, Christmas is coming I'm sure
for / hear
The pee-pee-pee in the pen,
And the pantry smells so good, oh
dear!
When | open the door to look IN.
And the children are saying their
prayers at night,
The boys don't pull the cats tail,
(Poor thing was always in fright
Yes, Christmas will come if the
signs don't fail!
Yes, Christmas is coming and l wish
'twould stay
For everything seems to nice;
The children are good the live-long
day
And don't have to be told twice,
And they're hustling around to bring
in the wood,
And scampering off for the mail,
l never saw children so awfully good,
And Christmas will come II the
signs don't fail!

and better instruction, and at the
same time offers as good opportuni-
ties to the country boys and girls
ready for high school work as the city
systems offer. 1t at the same time
gives the pupils the opportunity of
attending a good high school in the
home community.
The first high school of this nature
in South Carolina was established at
Hemingway. 1t is formed by pupils
from three districts-Hemingway,
Old Johnsonville, and Muddy Creek,
numbers IL, %, and 13 of Williams
burg county.
About six years ago the first school
of Hemingway was established. The
other districts had their ordinary
country school. All were trying to do
some high school work, but none were
able to qualify for State high school.
The people of these communities saw
the need of good high school equip
ped with especially prepared high
school teachers, but for some time an
agreement could not be reached as to
where the school should be located.
In 1916 modern school building
which could not be replaced for less
than thirty or forty thousand dollars
was completed at Hemingway. This
progressive movement paved the way
for the first centralized high school in
this State.
With the aid of Mr.. ]. E. Swearin-
gen, state superintendent of educa-
ton, Mr.. Lueco Gunter, state rural
school supervisor, Mr.. Verd Peterson,
state agricultural supervisor, Mr.. j.
V. McElveen, county superintendent
of education, Mr.. J. A. Campbell, pas
tor of the Hemingway Methodist
church, the trustees as follows: DR..
H. L. Baker, DR.. E. A. Simmons, Mr..
F. E. Higgins, Mr.. R. N. Spigner, Mr..
D. w. Simmons, Mr.. w. A. Lawri-
more, Mr. M. J. Hughes, Mr.. L. l..
Ard, Mr.. w. F. Joy, Mr.. A. E. Flow
ers, Mr.. G. B. Eaddy and other pro-
gressive educational men the several
districts centralized their high school
at Hemingway, July 1, 1918.
This system began work under one
management with two full time high
school teachers for three grades, four
for the grades below the high school,
and a teacher of agriculture in the
central school and three teachers in
each of the branch schools. Notwith-
standing the fact that some strong
opposition was offered as we'll as the
"Flu" a very satisfactory years work
was accomplished.
Last April the writer with the aid
of the trustees began to secure teach
ers for the present year. Every effort
was made to get the very best in the
profession. These efforts were not in
vain. The writer believes that the
corps of teachers employed in this
system is as good as can be found IN
any school system in the State. Due
to crowded conditions one additional
teacher was employed for the prlm-
ary grades ane one for the high
school department on account OF
addition of the eleventh grade. q.
At the beginning of the year the
opposition raised the question con-
corning the inconvenience of getting
their children to the high school. The
trustees with the substantial aid OF a
number of people of the communities
promptly met the situation by buying

train the soul and mind of nearly 3OO
boys and girls.
This splendid building already too
small and soon to be enlarged, is the
center in which three high schools
concentrate their efforts. We had
thre high schools, Old Johnsonville,
Muddy Creek snd Hemingway. These
three schools have combined their
forces and resources and now is the
biggest school system in this part of
the country and the biggest high
school outside of considerable sized
cities in this part of the State.
There is a superintendent for the
three schools, 16 teachers and suffi-
cient equipment to do good work and
they are doing it. We have altogeth-
er the best corps of teachers and they
are paid a living salary and are work
ing together to do things. The peo-
pie got together little while ago and
raised about $4,000 to buy truck to
transport pupils to school, to pay
teachers and to buy things that the
taxes did not provide for. The peo-
pie are together and pulling for the
school. Mr.. ]. B. Bushart is the man
in charge of the schools and. the
writer makessbold to prophesy that
five years from today that what is
known as .he Hemingway school will
have hundred and fifty high school
pupils, a boarding department with
so to rs boarders and rs teachers.
This has been done with out tear
ing up any school but one. The aim
is to leave the grammar schools where
they are, make them bigger, stronger,
and more efficient than in the past
and to give any boy or girl in Is
miles who wants to 60 to college or
get a sure enough high school educa-
ton a chance right at home. If any
body doubts, let him come and see.
Our houses and hearts are open to
anybody who wants to come and be
one of us and be a booster, not out
side the community but right here in
it. But if you are knocker or a
kicker, or a drag or wet log and
think we are "easy marks" stay where
you are, crawl into a hole and die,
we don't want you. But if you love
your country, your children, the school
and the church, come on, there's room
for you.
In conclusion. If you are interest
ed in live town and community
watch Hemingway and anybody who
gets his mail here, for he is one of US.
We. are not aspiring to be a city
nor put on city ways, just plain OLD
fashioned country folk, who love their
community, their church, their school,
and their 4eighbor as they do them
selves.

Inheritance Tax Urged

Columbia, Dec. cit is stated by
prominent citizens closely in touch
with legislative machinery in the state
that the next legislature, which con-
venes on January 18th, will be asked
to past an act providing an inherl-
tance tax. 1t is not known who vii!
introduce the measure, but it is said
such a measure will be pushed stren-
ously.
Legislatures of past years have con-
sdered inheritance tax measures, but
to date none have succeeded of pass
age.
The plan suggested is for a tax on
inheritance amounting to $4,000 or
more. Under such law an estate
valued at more than the minimum
figure fixed in the statute would be
taxed for the support of the state
government. Under present laws the
largest inheritance, no matter what
it's incofKA producing power, cannot
be touched by the taxation machinery.
1t is stated such tax would bring
into the state treasury larger amounts
of money that are now of no beneht
in the matter of production of taxes.
The Soviet authorities in Russia
have punished by death the indlvld-
ual held Immediately responsible for
the execution of former Emperor
Nicholas and his family in June, 1918,
when the Czecho- -Slovak troops were
approaching the city, where the i'm
perial personages were then being
held prisoner, according to dispatch.

Happy Holds Mark for Putouts in
 Center Field.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Oscar (Happy) Felsch, who is playing center field for the White SoX against the Cincinnati Reds, is the holder of a record for major league center-fielders.
 On June 20, 1919, while the White SoX were playing Cleveland, Happy accepted 12 chances without a slip. Eleven of his chances were flies and one was an assist.
 Jimmy Slagle, while playing right field for the Chicago Nationals in 1897, made 12 putouts, and thlS IS the record for all outtielders, so far as putouts are concerned.
 Tn 1877, Schafer, who played right field for the Braves, had seven put outs and four assists, and HornunE, left fielder for the same club, gath cred 10 putouts and one assist m 1881.
