SUPERINTENDENT WILSON
WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE.

I wish to state to the people OF
Newberry county that I shall not be-
a candidate for reelection to the Of
fee of superintendent of education.
I wish to thank those who have been
kind enough To Y1rge me to continue
the work, also, those who have 50
heartily cooperated with me in push
ing school work for the past three
years. The people CENTRALLY are
rallying to the support Of the schools
and the SO elections during the past
two years have about doubled the
amount of special district tax. feel
very much encouraged over this and
urge all districts to increase the sup
port of the schools. - /
Feeling that the duties Of the ONCE
are of such Importance that it should
have the entire time Of the superin-
tendent, am unwilling to ask for it
again and divide my time between the
office and other work. Also, it would
be a financial sacrifice on my part to
continue, having no income other
than the salary of the office. X
MY intentions are to devote nay en-
tire time to school work until my sue
cessor is elected. In justice to the
Office and to those that may entertain
intentions Of offering for it, l make
this statement.
Again thanking the people for their
splendid cooperation, / am,
Very respectfully,
C. N. Wilson.

half of Prosperity let it be said that

Captain, l VIII Die First. -

That was the last remark made TO
Captain W. S. Langford by one OF
the soldiers of his company in the
Spanish-American war. The brave
soldier was John NJ. Kinard OF this
county. This fact has been brought
out in a wire from Captain Langford
to two of the surviving members OF
the company, Messrs. w. w. Farrow
and T. G. Williams. Captain Lang
ford was under the impression that
the banquet to the survivors: OF ms
company was to have been held on
Memorial day but that event was post
poned until some more suitable day
in the near future, when it is hoped
that the captain may be present. AT
that time it is the intention to have a
prominent speaker on hand as orator
for the occasion. Following is the
telegram:
Wichita Falls, Texas,
May II, 20.
W. W. Farrow and T. G. Williams
Newberry, S. c.
= Regret exceedingly that circum'
stances are such that l can not be
with you and the boys tomorrow
Please have good dinner on me. Draw
for entire expense. Will donate one
hundred dollars towards suitable
monument to the memory of deceas'
ed comrade, John M. Kinard, a hero
if there ever was one. When sur
geon rendered him a discharge with
out it being an honorable one, which
he deserved, l well remember his re:
ply: Captain, will die first" Ano
he did. Please accept my greetings
Best wishes and personal regards.

Great Lakes Naval Training station
where he has been civilian pastor since
1918, will use as the subject for his
lecture, Facing the Task" AS a
lecturer Dr. Rompel is noted for the

tention to tell Nothing But the

PROSPERITY HONORS MEMORY
WEARERS GRAY AND KHAKI

prosperity, NAY lE.-I1OHOf 10 IHe
wearers of the gray and the khaki
alike was paid Tuesday afternoon in
memorial exercises at the town hall
The school, marching in body, fol-
lowing the old veterans and the boys
of the World War was very impress
sive. "Dixie," "The Bonnie Blue
Flag" and ''America, the Beautiful" "
were sung with much enthusiasm by
the school children.
DR.. G. Y. Hunter was master OF
ceremonies. He reported that out OF
Co G, 18th regiment, numbering 1OS
SO years ago, there are still FL sur
viving. A prominent place was given
an old tattered and torn Confederate
flag of blue silk which was the orlgl-
nal flag used in Co G, 18th regiment
This flag was given to the William
Lester chapter, by Mr.. G. D: Brown
Rev. ). D. Griffin, speaker of the
afternoon, spoke on Heroes of a
Lost Cause" Briefly he spoke as
follows:
We gather today not to perpetuate
sectional hatred, not to fill the minds
and hearts of our young people with
revengeful feelings toward the north,
We love our country, we love our
flag, not that we love our country
less, but with warm and honest hearts
we avow, though our Confederacy be
buried forever, though it be spoken
of as lost catfse, we still love and
revere the truth and integrity, the
faithfulness and fortitude, the honor
and virtues, the genius and patriot
ism of the heroes who led our
armies and directed our destiny at
this crisis.
Rev. Griffin forcefully stated the
true causes of the war and empha-
sized that these be taught our chill
dren in order that they may know
that the South fought not to perpet-
uate slavery but the Fundamental
principles of the constitution of the
United States.
In conclusion Rev. Griffin said: "lt
is true they were overpowered, that
the name of the Confederacy as a
nation is effaced from the pages OF
history for all time to. Gomez yet the
cheeks of our children will not blush
for it's fate, but will flush with pride
as they hear the tale of the patience,
the faithfulness and fortitude, the
adventurous daring and heroism and
the victories of their noble fathers.
Our Confederacy sank in sorrow but
thank God not in shame. Dark and
gloomy clouds gathered in folds
around its setting but they did not,
they could not blacken it. 1t lit
them with effulgence, with it's own
transcendent glory. We place flow.
ers. upon the garves Of our departed
heroes today and in doing this plant
them upon the grave Of our Confed.
eracy not as an emblem Of a hoped
for resurrection but to embalm it in
our fragrant memories and most
precious affections. And turning
from the ashes of our dead past to
the active duty dictated by the ex.
amples and counsels of our departed
leaders, Albert Sidney Johnston
Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee
and Jefferson Davis, we will labor
with fidelity wrought by the stern
but noble discipline Of our past ex'
perience for the maintenance Of the
constitutional liberty they imperilec
their lives to save and for the promo
ton of the true prosperity, progress
and glory Of our common cuntry.'

GOING TO WHITMIRE
Clemson Wil.on.. Leaves Newbsrry
County Schools.

Newberry, May 12.-Clemson NJ.
Wilson, who has served for three
years as superintendent of the New
berry county schools, will give notice
to the public through the county
newspapers this week that he will not
seek the position another year. Mr..
Wilson has accepted the position of
head of the Whitmire schools, to take
effect some time in September. He
will be principal of the school, which
is one of the best equipped in the
state, and will do community work.
His work will continue all the year
round, and his salary will be $4,000,
and, in addition to that, the trustees
will build him a house, with all mod
ern equipments, in which he will live
rent free.
Mr.. Wilson has done excellent ser
vice in the county schools and has
accomplished great deal in secur-
ing longer terms and better salaries.
He has been on the job all The time.
The people would like to have him
continue in the position he has filled
so WELL. but the offer from Whitmire
is such a tempting one that he can
not decline it.
The Herald and News adds it's en-
dorsement to what the correspondents
of The State has to say. And in ad-
dition we desire to say that there is
no finer community in the State than
the good town Of Whitmire. What we
like about the community is that it
does things and there is no other mill
community that is doing as much for
the uplift of the help as the Glenn
Lowry and the company does things
for the community and especially
does it take an active interest in the
building up of the school. We are.
sure that MIR. Wilson will find the
work pleasant and helpful to him and
he can make it helpful to the conn
nnunity. -.
