Walter NJ. Heyman, said to be the
youngest bank president in the Unit
ed States, has inaugurated a chill
.dren's department in his bank in
Chicago, and takes deposits from 3
cents on up, and it is stated that the
first day he had over 500 depositors.
That it not bad idea. Teach the
children early to open a bank account,
and that /; is better to put up the
small amounts rather than spend
them for candy and such like, though
we do not believe in the doctrine that
the sole aim in life should be to make
money and save it, but we do need
in this country to teach the lesson OF
q sane economy and to get rid OF
some of the extravaganza that We
practice, and the only way to do it
is to start with the children.

to ask them to read it, so that they
may be prepared for the changes that
m " be made in the system Of rails
ing revenue in this state, and to be
able to keep up with the discussion
when the legislature meets. This
subject will be the main question be-
fore the next legislature, because
bigger appropriations are going to be
demanded Of the next legislature
than Of any of its predecessors, and
some of the big items will be to carry
out existing laws. Notably the laws
in regard to the rural schools, the
conditions of which laws have been
met by the people in the increased
taxes they have voted for the schools
on the promise that if they did there
would be ample state aid to run the
schools for seven months and to pay
adequate salaries to the teachers. If
the legislature should fail now the
schools of the rural districts would be
in deplorable condition for funds.

have heard of one or two of the sub
scribers who remarked that The Her
aid and News was carrying too much
about the rural Schools and he was
told that they need not read it. but
somehow they could not help it. Well,
all that l have to say is that The
Herald and News has always been an
ardent advocate of bettering the ru-
raj schools, because it knew that as
the schools in the country were i'm
proved country conditions were I'M
proved, and that anything it could do
to this end was serving a good pur-
pose and bettering the condition of
the people. And that is what We are
here for, to help 2o make the world

TAX REFORMS SUGGESTED.

The last session of the legislature
appointed special committee to look
sinto the matter Of revising our tax
system and to make effort to so
change the plans of levying and col
lecting taxes as to increase the reve-
nue. and at the. same time try to
equalize the burden and so distribute
it that the necessary income for state
purposes might be forthcoming with.
out bearing too heavily on tangible
property, while much of the wealth
of the state was escaping its leglti-
mate share of the taxes. That it was
escaping the payment Of that portion
for the support of the government
which it is right and proper that it
should pay.
The committee has gone into the
matter very extensively and recon-
mends some radical changes in our
system and methods of raising reve-
nue., and they say it is in accordance
with modern methods and up to date
systems.
There will of necessity have to be
some changes in our methods OF
raising revenue, and while the rec
concentrations of this committee may.
not be adopted, it is well to keep up
with what they have to say and be
prepared for the changes which must
come. We suppose in order to carry
out the program it would be neces-
sary TO have constitutional conven-
tion. and that is needed at this time
any way.
The committee has secured the
services of an expert economist and
had him to study the tax system OF
this state, and to make such recon-
mendations as he might deem neces-
sary. The report will be very
lengthy one, and is being printed in
The State from day to day. In order
that the. readers of The Herald and
News might keep up with the recon-
mendations of this special committee
we are printing the report from the
State, and while we have not yet
read it there seems to US to be some
very good suggestions in it. All we
desire to do at this time is to call it
to the attention of our readers. and

We thank Slick Sam for his COM
pliment, but as to giving him advice
we are just a little shy. If we knew
what he wanted to do it would be
different. Better teach his bees not
to make their hives in trees down on
the roadside, and to keep them in his
own backyard, and maybe they would
escape the eagle eye of the constable.
And then is it not just little
queer that a good law abiding citi-
zen like Slick Sam would take fright
at his shadow in a jug Of good old
wine and imagine it was a constable.
Sounds like he may have visited that
jug under the barn just little while
before the sun came peeping over the
horizon.
:. But to be serious, We have long
while been of the opinion that we
had too many laws and too many
regulations, and as result even the
best of men and the most lawabidln:%
amongst US, violate some one OF
these numerous laws every day and
without the knowledge that we are
lawbreakers.
It is true that what we call per-
sonal liberty must. give way to the
general good and we must try to not
let the one overlap the other.
We are to very large extent our
brothers keeper and you remember
that it is written and we are COM
manded, that if eating rseat make our
brother to offend We shall eat no
meat, or words to that effect. SO II the
wine does not hurt US, but Will hurt
our brother, we must do away with
the wine for his sake, but that should
have nothing to do with the honey
in the honeycomb and we should all
encourage the bees to make more
honey.
So Slick Sam we have no advice to
give you, because we don't know just
exactly what you would like to have
in the way of advice.

there was family Of Foys. They

torn down and moved away. Forty
years and more have come and gone

can be wrought IN that space, and

there is too much moving and too
many changes in the life of the rural

a very pleasant chat with him.

One trouble or difficulty it seemed
to me in holding the meeting at a
place like Spartanbulg,, or any other
town, with the many department
meetings that were being had it was
to locate the place of the meeting
YOU desired to attend, as the strang-
er, of course is not supposed to be
acquainted with the location of the
various schools or halls in a city like
Spartanburg,, or just how to reach it,
and it seemed to me that the teach
ers were taking up most of the time
in an effort to find the place where
the meeting was being held. l have
long held to the position that to get
the most out of such meetings as the
state teachers association, or any
other gathering of this kind is to
have the meeting in place like VIM
throp college so that there would be
ample room for all the departments
to meet in the same building, and for
all the members <of the organization
to be together for the time being as
one big family I did not see any of
the Newberry teachers at the meet
ing except Mr.. G. G. Sale and Mr..
Thos. O. Sease. Of course there may
have been others present, because /
cid not get out very much myself.
This meeting was staged at the
wrong time of the year. Every one
who can should spend Thanksgiving
at home or with the home folk.
Miss Gray's luncheon was very
interesting meeting, and Mr.. S. H.
Edmunds presided and he had the
talks going while the eating was in
progress, and it was really interest
ing to hear the teachers tell of the
work they did and how they did it.,
in the teaching of the adults to read
and write, and then to hear some of
the pupils tell how much they appre-
ciated the work of these teachers and
how much interest they took in the
matter of learning to read and to
write. It is a great work and it is
reducing the illiteracy Of the state
very materially. Il would like to- say
here that I am very willing to coop
crate in the work, and if there is any
demand for such teaching in this
county, either from the rural districts
or from the towns, 1 will be very
much obliged to hear of it, and to
see if something; can be done to ior-
ganize classes for the work. Dr.. 70
cum was present at Miss Gray's fun-
tcheon and made a brief talk. I am
sorry that I did not get to hear the
address of DR.. Yocum the night be-
fore. All who heard him spoke IN the
highest praise. pf the address. He
spoke on Education for Democ-
racy." A very, timely subject and
one of very great Importance. He
argued that personal privilege must
be subservient to the public good, but
that there must be no more surrender
of this personal privilege than is sab-
solutely necessary to the common
good. And it must not be carrieH to
extremes.
l met my friend Judge Scase and
spent very pleasant hour with him
