reached Chappells little OFT
schedule, but none of the patrons
or trustees were present. Asking the
natrons and trustees and friends OF
the school to meet the superintendent
on his visits is little out Of the
usual, and the people seem not to
understand that ! would be pleased
to meet them at the school house.
Well, would and would like to talk
with them about the school and to
consider any matters that we might
do for the betterment of the children
of the community in the improve
ment of the school. Rev. and Mrs.
G. R. Pettigrew and DR.. w. ]. Hol-
loway and DR.. w. o. Holloway and
Mr.. J. L. Fe' ers were present and
we had the children to meet in the
auditorium and we spent few min
utes in getting acquainted with one
another. You know people can work
together better when they know one
another, and for that reason l am
making an effort to get personally
acquainted with all the children. l
mado brief talk to them and so did
Re. ettigrew. The school is taught
this year by Misses Simkins, Cul-
berth and Saunders, and the patrons
are we'll pleased with the work and
everything seems to be working har-
moniously and every one is cooper
ating and taking an interest. 1t was
real pleasure not to hear any COM
plant at this place in regard to the
school. That is well, when all the
people speak nicely about the work
of the school and when the children
are interested. The enrolment is tine

NOT DECEASED"

That is to say the league OF ma
tions and the peace treaty are not
adeceased," as Mr.. Harding is quoted
as saying. And we are sure that Mr.
Harding does not wish that either
should be dead. The Republican par
ty may call the league by another
name, but we are sure that it will be
in substance just what the Repubh,
can senate rejected or refused to
ratify. /
The Charleston American, which
!, Is more anti-Wilson than most Of the
rabid Republican papers, quotes from
q cabIegram sent by Mr.. Root and
says these expressions from this
prominent Republican unfit him for
she portfolio Of secretary Of state IN
tie Harding cabinet. We are quot.
ing this cablegram from the columns
of the American to show that what
Ne have contended, that the league OF
nations is not deceased, is held out
sby what this prominent Republican
has to say on the subject.
Mr.. Root says that new deal Is
impossible and to undertake it woulo
result in disaster and chaos and in,
volve the whole world in war again
and this would include the United
States. Here is what Mr.. Root says
81 cit is very unwise to declare the
league dead. 1t would not be true
In my opinoin, a new dea
here from the beginning by abandon
ing the Versailles treaty is impossl'
BE. To attempt it would bring chaos
Z and an entire loss Of results OF the
war and general disaster involving
tie United States. A sep
arate declaration Of peace was Justl
fed only by President Wilson's re
fusal TO act. After March 4th, thai
win no longer be justiiable, unless
other powers refuse to consent to
modification, which / do not antlcl'
pate. Don't allow Cox to drive you
OFF the ground Of Harding's senate
vote and our platform. Keep to the
eimnle issue. Americanization."

Monticello.

I stopped at Monticello and found
the school in session with Miss
Rosine Singley and Miss Mayer as
teachers. This school will reach an
enrolment of so and will be able to
qualify under the equalizing law |
think. None of the trustees were
present and I could not blame them,
because they had not received my
letter ard did not know that l would
be along. I Will make another trip
down this side because l am very
anxious to meet the trustees and the
patrons at the school house.

believe that I can say that the
roads in this community from Pros
perity on around to Big Creek and
to Saluda and back to Fairview and
on home or at least to Prosperity are
among the best roads with which
have come in contact in the county
The road from Prosperity on to Sa'
luda is especially good and part Of it
is wide and the grade is fine and the
travelling over it is a pleasure. But
! the Prosperity Newberry road still
holds the palm as the worst road IN
the county so far as l know. That
is it has no really bad places over
which you can not go, but it has nc
good places at all, the whole thing is
like running over corn rows.

Having been informed that there
was diptheria in the Fairview school
T decided to drive around that way
on my return home and see for my
self what foundation there was tor
the report. l found that there had
been one case and that DR.. Beden-
baugh, who attended the child, had
dismissed the case last Saturday, and
the child was up and playing in the
yard and apparently quite well. And
DR.. Bedenbaugh said that the other
child who had been exposed had
been given a dose of antitoxine and
that there was no danger from these
children, and that there was no rea-
son for closing the school, and as he
is the family physician and the chair
man of the board of health for that
township l told the trustees that SO
far as l could see, and so Tar as l
was concerned, could see no
reason for closing the school on ac-
count of the disease and that l ap-
proved their action in not closing the
school. There really was no danger
and besides they had the opinion of
the physician in charge and who also
happens to be the chairman of the
local board of health for the town
ship. I hope there will be nc, more
cases in the community.

There is very handsome brick
building at this place and it is ar
ranged so that there may be at least
six teachers and besides there is a
large auditorium and nice opera
chairs and large stage. There was
lyceum course on the night before
my visit and for just such things as
this did I insist upon the building OF
such a house as they have when ii
was put up some eight years ago. Al
that time there was only a two teach
er school in the district, but l felt
sure the school in this fine commu'
nifty would grow and while we were
building we had just as well build fol
the future. 1t is a handsome build
ing and very much on the plan OF
the building at Little Mountain ano
/ expect to see teachers in all six Of
the classrooms at, this school within
the next two years. I would like te
suggest to the trustees, as ! did mo-
see all of them at the school on FIJI
day. that the building needs a little
repairing so as to take care Of it be-
fore the damage goes too far. l was
pleased to see the fine spirit up there
among all the people with whom
had opportunity to talk and to hear
such good comment from all of then
as to the school.

AS I looked oyer this fine section
of country with it's large white popu-
lation and nice farms and good
homes / could npt help the thought
what great thing it would be if we
could convince, the people that a
good central school with four or five
teachers is the thing. they should do.
With St. Lukes and Big Creek united
and then to take Monticello and Sa-
luda and all OF part of O'Neall and
put them in one school, there would
be an ideal condition as to education
in this whole section of country, and
there would be- no need to send the
children off to School until they-wer
ready for college, and those that
never go to college could have the
advantage of a good high school edu-
cation, and then to think what two
such community centres would mean
to that entire Section Of the coun-
ty; it is really amazing to me that
the people who have the children and
who have homes in that community
can not be made to see it. We are 60
ing to talk about it a little any way,
from time to time, and see what the
people think about it. Of course it
is after all up to the people of the
community to say what they want
and if they do not care to better the
community conditions why that is
their concern and not mine.

Saluda.

next visited Saluda and the same
thing was true here. They did not
receive my letter and did not know
I was coming and I failed to have
any of the trustees or patrons out.
I had never been to this school be-
fore. They have a nice two room
building and a nice location and the
rooms are large and comfortable and
the equipment is good for country
school, as country schools go in this
section of the state. The teachers
this year are Mr.. R. C. Hunter and
Miss Harmon and the enrolment is
not as large as l would like to see it,
but if there are no more children
that is all we can do. Mr.. Hunter
is teacher of experience and the
patrons are fortunate in securing his
services. y -.

Being only six miles from home l
could not resist the inclination to
drive over and see the old folk at
home. The road across that side has
not improved since my last trip, and
the Greenwood people have not done
anything to help the condition OF the
hill at the river, and neither have
they done much to improve the ap-
proach to the bridge. I understand
that one of the main roads that
Greenwood is now building under
their bond issue is to come down to
this bridge so as to connect with the
system of county roads at Newberry'
and that Newberry will build from
the court house up to this point.
wish very much that some one would
get busy and do something on these
roads right away and while may en-
iov the travelling over them. But l
made the trip and the old folk at
home were glad to see US because
had along the two boys and their
mother. We could spend only very
! brief hour as had to come back to
Newberry that afternoon and do not
like driving in the night time.
The road around by Zion Baptist
church has recently been worked and
some of the bridges made new, and
is in much better shape than II has
been in a long time but needs work
right now, hnd if the people or some
one would just apply the split log
drag on this road it would be in very
good shape. A road that is not sub
iect to the heavy traffic may he kept
in very good condition with the log
drag. But it does need-that is the
road-widening in many places. 1t
is almost like going into the ditch to
meet another vehicle at almost any
noint on the road. But the weather
was fine and I made the trip without
any difficulty and really enjoyed II
and hope that may be some little
good was accomplished.

will need more than one evening dress.
You could get ten days worth of

but even then 1t would be pretty
crowded. A suitcase wouldn't DO. unless
you are prepared to "rought it." You

week tip of about fifty cents does no
harm. although 1t is not necessary.

This IL largely a matter of preference.
Some persons remove their underclothes

something under the nightclothes. The
former are more numerous than the
latter in this country. 1t Is a, French
