Vermont Certified. Seed. Potatoes
Superior in Massachusetts,
Demonstrations

In a number of seed potato demon
STATIONS conducted in Franklin Coun-
", Mass, by the Farm Bureau, the
seed from Vermont produced larger
yields than that from Maine, New
York and the native seed OF the coun-
".
County Agent Putnam of Franklin
County, Mass, comments on these
demonstrations as follows: eThe re-
suits of the seed potato demonstra-
ton In Franklin county this year
again bears out the argument in favor
OF northern grown seed The differ
ence is not as great as last year, due,
we believe, 10 the fact that some OF
the native seed was only one year from
northern grown The Vermont seed
gave the largest yields this year. We
believe this was because the Vermont
seed used in the demonstration was
OF superior quality 10 Maine seed
II was larger, more vigorous looking
and evidently had been more carefully
selected"
The results OF the demonstration
are as follows:

Gerald Black and Clyde Willis
Slide Under Auto on West
Main Street

Gerald Black, the six-year cid son
OF Secretary of State. Harry A. Black.
and Clyde Willis, the Seven-year old
son OF John Willis, had q very narrow
escape from serious accident while
eo2stlng Thursday afternoon.
The small boys were costing on
West End avenue. The distance they
covered leads from Highland avenue.
the starting point, the entire length of
West End avenue. bringing the BOYS
out on West Main near the home of
Harry Drown. and It was at that
point where they were injured by slid
ing under 8 passing auto.
The CIR was q five passenger Dodge
driven by VIII Turner OF South New
port. In the car at the time were
two women and two children. They
had been IN Newport doing some
Christmas shopping and were on their
way home when the accident hap
pened.
In making the steep hin st the
Curtis corner Mr.. Turner was run
ming his car IN second. and when he
arrived at the top shifted into high
and did not see the approaching sled
with the boys until almost opposite
the road from which they were coast
ing.
Mr.. Turner applied the brakes and
ran the car To the ditch, TO avoid run
ming over them In doing this the
car skidded about Is feet TO the place
where it stopped. The sled and boys
were under the car, the boys crawl
ing out from the rear end OF the car.
Although injured and crying they
walked TO their homes No blame is
attached 70 Mr.. Turner as 1T was
impossible for him TO see the boys in
time 10 stop as they were hid from
view by high bank just at the turn
OF the road
This is the first accident Mr.. Turn
er has ever had with his car and he
was very much overcome by il. That
the boys were not killed is considered
miracle. The injury TO the Black
boy was badly lacerated ear which
required 20 stitches TO get in shape,
also one stitch was taken on the top
of his head 1t required several
stitches TO close the wounds on the
head of the Willis boy, he also receiv-
ing a sprained wrist, and both boys
were more or less bruised.

Red Knoll (Cross Roads).

The next stop was at Red Knoll,
the new name of the school. Presi-
dent Derrick of Newberry college OBJ
iects to the change in the name from
Cross Roads. He says Red Knoll
does not mean anything, and that is
true, but it seems to me that Cross
Roads does not mean anything either
except that the school was at the in
tersection of two roads, but then it
was called by that name in the days
when President Derrick went to schol
and when ne afterwards taught at
the same place, and can realize
how he feels about it, and / told the
people that we would have to change
the name again, though / think l
will suggest a name that will be ac-
ceptable I hope to President Derrick
and at the same time not call the
school Cross Roads. The school this
year is taught by Mr.. 0. B. Summer.
There are some Is children enrolled.
The trustees and patrons and friends
of the school have builded new
and handsome one room school house,
and it is we'll built and according to
the latest plans, and they deserve a
great deal of credit for the interest
thew have taken and the sacrifices
they have made. They have raised
the necessary money to put up the
building with only the state and the
county aid Of s4oO each. And the
building cost something more than
$4,000. / say they deserve great
credit for the fine spirit they have
manifested and the interest they
have taken in bettering the school
facilities for the children of the
community, but I told those who
were present that I was sorry they
had builded, because it seems to me
that we might all have gotten to-
gether down that side and put up a
fine school that would have been ac-
cessible to all the children in two or
three of the districts that are there
now, and then we could have had a

Let's Work for a Hospital.

Now that Cody is no longer an
issue, having been buried under a
weight of public condemnation, let
us, the people, put forth renewed eff.
forts and join hands with the com,
mittees working for the proposed
hospital. Those Of Cody patients
who are still alive can help greatly
in this noble and necessary move,
ment by being as quick to contribute
to the cause as they were to give
literally to the socalled psychologist
which will bring about something
that will be Of permanent and last:
ing benefit rather than an imaginary
temporary feeling of Improvement.

take it he is member of the New

other things adds the following para

editor, a first cousin, son Of the

We are glad that Mr.. Hutchinson
gets some comfort from reading The
Herald and News. We do not know
how long he has been away from old
Newkerry, but it matters not whether
long or short in absence the. mind
will turn back to the days Of child
hood, and there viii be longing to
get back to the scenes of other days
as we grow old. Mr.. Hutchinson
would not find many of the things

Thursday at Montgomery, Ala, ac-
cording to announcement today by
Senator Pat Harrison, who will be
the governors host. Several days
will be spent in the vicinity of Mont
gomery and the party will then go to
BILOXI, Miss, Senator Harrison's

quail and squirrels are reported to
be unusually plentiful.

Auditor j B. Halfacre and one of
my boys went along with me on this
trip. The weather was ideal and the
roads not as bad as some over which
I have travelled, but bad enough. We
came back by Little Mountain and
Prosperity. The Newberry Prosper
ity road does not improve. 1t was
scraped by the chain gang some time
ago and for a little while was not as
bad as it once was, but the same old
holes are back at the old places and
it is just as bad as it was. Some Of
that five thousand a mile road is good
but most of it is in bad condition and
even the good part is so full of small
gravel and flint rock that it is pain
full to drive over it. The fast riding
of the cars and the trucks has swept
all the loose dirt out of the road and
left as top soil only the small rocks.
It may be if rock crusher could be
driven over the road it would help it
some. At any rate when the state
gets to work on this road l hope it
may be improved and kept in better
shape. I noticed some time ago that
the contract had been let for the
building of the road from the Lex
ington line to the Newberry line and
from the Lexington line to the Rich
land line. This road is to be relo-
Gated from Little Mountain all the
way to Ballentine and will not cross
the railroad on grade crossing all
the way to the Broad river bridge.
That is fine. All grade crossings
should be removed.

Fork.

4oEh
On last Wednesday I had arrange
ments to visit two of the schools in
what we call sometimes the new ter
ritory which recently came into New
berry from Lexington, st. Johns and
Red Knoll (Cross Roads, and on the
way down made a brief call at Fork.
This school is taught this year by
Miss Erin Taylor. She has only four
children in the school at this time
and said that when all of them came
there would be only eight. Several
of the children Of the district are at
tending school either at st. Phillips
or Jolly Street and ! was just Won
dering if it would not be good plan
to divide up this district Of Fork
and let part of it go to the other ad-
joining districts, say st. Phillips and
Jolly Street and possibly some of it
to either Pomaria or Zion. I am not
yet entirely familiar with the bound
ary lines Of Fork but desire at this
time to throw out the suggestion OF
rearranging the district so that all
the children may have the advantage
of q good school and not feel so lone
ly as they must with only four or
eight children in the school. would
be glad to have the patrons and
friends of this school think about
this matter so that we may do some
thing definite before the next school
year. These matters must come BY
degrees and the only way to better
conditions is for the people con-
cerned to give some thought to them
and then make up their minds to do
what is best for all the children OF
the community. It is little difficult
for either the children or the teacher
to get up much enthusiasm when the
school is 80 small and to make a
school a success there must be en-
thusiasm. I hope the people will
give this matter their careful
thought.

A Laurens Friend Married.

It seems only q lew years ago tnaI
the reporter spent six years very
pleasantly and agreeably in the
friendly and hospitabie city of Laur-
ems. One of his first friends, who
was also one of his best, was bright,
pretty and sweet little girl about
three years old when he first saw her.
She remained his true and loyal
friend, growing in sweetness and
beauty as those six years added time
to the days Of her happy girlhood.
Those of you who take time to en-
joy the elevating and ennobling in
fluence obtained through the pure
and unselfsh friendship Of the in
hocent trusting little tots, know what
a pleasure it was to the writer to
have and to hold the baby heart OF
the little girl which, like the rose, un-
folded and expanded into greater
sweetness and loyeliness Of life as it
developed fullera growth. The re-
porter left the city and the little girl
grew from childhood to young wo-
manhood. Time passed swiftly BY
That "once upon a time" little three
year old girl is now young lady
and married; but a very young
bride. She was Miss Catherine
Crews, youngest daughter, as well as
youngest child of "a family of II
brothers and sisters, equally d.
vided. She is now Mrs. Gordon
Duckett, the bridegroom being a
young man of Anderson, connected
with bank in that city. The mar
riage took place ip Laurens on Sun
day afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t was
a surprise to this reporter. He didn't
dream that the time had arrived fo1
his little friend to get married
First he knew of It was by an invita-
tion to attend, asittens in a letter
full of friendly Words from the pen
of the former little girl. Those
words are appreciated like "apples
of gold,' as the baide-elect took time
from her busy hours to think Of and
write to her old friend, telling hin,
that she had not forgotten, but still
remembered those few years when
she was so young and the reporter
petted her because he loved her. That
she cherished all this with affection
ate remembrance is bright CASTS in
the desert of life to the reporter.
And now, with just little tinge OF
sadness to cast brief passing shadow
across the edge of the blue sky Of her
gladness he sends congratulations to
the young man who has won a prec-
ious jewel from among the rich
treasures of the human gem mines OF
the earth.

hesitate, at Pomar1a because Was
running little late and in these
matters Of appointment with the
schools I like to be on time and to
keep all appointments. St. Johns
school is located at the st. Johns Lu-
theran church one of the oldest or
carnations in this county and pos
sibly in the state. This church was
built away back yonder before the
war and I suppose before the begin
ming of the last century or certainly
in the early days Of the last cen
tury. I do not know how long the
school has been along side the church,
but for many years, though the pres
ent house is somewhat modern and l
understand that the old school house
was of logs and stood a little further
from the church. l would be glad
to have some Of the people who know
to write brief history Of the church

church to my knowledge until some
six or seven years ago when l was
taking trip with Hon. Fred Doml-
nick to visit his uncle at Peak, MIR.

And then / made second trip there
the past summer and attended serV-
ice. At that time we took a few pic
lures of the church and the school
house, one of the school house
with the church in the back
ground, and the other showing the
church. DR.. O. B. Mayer in his
sketch of my grandfather, the Rev.
Herman Aull, which is printed in the
Annals of Newberry, refers to at
tending church here and of hearing
the Rev. Mr.. Apll preach and speaks
of how his broken English impressed
him, and that must have been in the
part of the first half Of the last CEN
tury. / have long had desire to
visit the church and was glad of the
opportunity to visit the school at this
place. The school this year is taught
by Mr.. John A. Cumulander and
there are some 80 children on the
roll now. I was pleased to meet sew
eral of the citizens at the school
