There was not the usual Saturday
crowd in town the past Saturday. In
many places the ground was dry
enough for the plow and many plows
were turning the soil getting ready
to plant the crop. And it was we'll,
because the crop is very much delay
ed this year in the planting. But it
the weather keeps seasonable for a
few days the farmer will do whole
lot of work. And the crop will be
made and the harvest time will come
as heretofore. And the world will
continue to go round and round.

:AcooD. MACHINE.

That road machine which the town
has bought and is now operating on
the streets is a good thing for the
roads. If it is kept busy the streets
of the town should soon show very
decided Improvement.
AS we watched it operate on Cald-
well street we were just wondering
if it could be possible to get it to take
trip to Prosperity and back as an
experiment and at the same time
scrape that road "a going and a
coming" Two trips of this machine
would work wonders on this road and
wonders are needed. The two trips
could be made easily in half day.
The fact is that such machine on
the roads would soon give us fairly
good roads at least for the main
roads of the county.
It would be a good investment for
the county to purchase a machine OF
this kind and put it to work. We do
not know what it cost but it certainly
is good thing for the roads.
Why two men could take machine
like that and cover all the main roads
in Newberry county once a month.

State aid, but even the amount re-
ceived from this source would not be
sufficient to meet the needs, and we
had just as we'll prepare to vote some
more tax for the schools and then
there is still the need of improving
the equipment. But always remem-
Der that money spent and properly
spent on the right kind of education
for the children of the community IS
about the best investment COM
munity can make, viewed from any
standpoint Stand by your school at
all hazards. a good school is the
best asset for any community.

are glad toSknow that the weather

that it is rather late. We are glad
to see that the trees are putting forth

will be fine if no destruction. The

/ am glad to see that st. Phillips

visited Miss Frances CaldwelPs room.
She teaches the first two grades, and
it was remarkable to see how we'll
she had those little folks trained.
From there I went to Miss Ola
Browns room. Miss Brown is teach
er of the fifth, sixth and eighth
grades. / next visited Miss Mary
Crumpton's room where she teaches,
the seventh and ninth grades. Then
the last teacher I visited was Miss
Lottye Lee Halfacre, who is the
teacher of the third and fourth grade.
The patrons of the school ought to
be proud Of these four young ladies,
for they are as fine teachers as any
school can afford. The work is
carried on well. / enjoyed very much,
hearing the pupils recite. I do not
speak these words because / live in
this community, but the management:
of the school shows that it is the
finest in the county. We hope that
this will not be the last year for Us to
have these teachers, but that they
will be with us for years to come.
Remember, patrons that it is your
duty to keep the school going, for
ward not backward, while you can
have a good school by giving little
money, and it will be better for you
than sending your children off to
other schools. Stick to your teachers
and work for nine months school.

the overalls manufacturers and the
dealers in overalls, by increasing the

ARMENIA'S AWFUL CONDITION
MOST VIVIDLY DESCRIBED

The appalling condition in starving
Armenia were graphically described
in a thrilling address at the Lutheran
Church of the Redeemer on Sunday
evening by Mr.. N. A. Boajian, a
Young native Armenian who, escap-
ing from prison in that stricken coun:
try. made his way to America, and
after fighting with the American army
overseas is now a student at the
! University Of South Carolina, and
will graduate this year.
Mr.. Boajian knows from personal
experience of the terrible cruelty IN
flicted and the suffering caused by the
Turks and Kurds, as about thirty OF
his relatives, including mother and
brothers, died as result of the per-
secutions against the innocent Christ.
ian Armenians. =.
Conditions in. Armenia today are
terrible, declared the speaker, fol
the people, who were once prosperous,
are now not only without food and
clothing but. every article Of house
hold furniture, farming or other in.
dustrial implement, SO that until such
things are furnished them they can
not earn a livelihood and produce
anything; consequently the destitu,
ton will continue and starvation ul-
timately and probably speedily claim
every inhabitant, for this little nation
which once numbered many millions,
has now been brought down to just a
very slight proportion of that num-
Der.
Mr.. Boajian urged that there be
the regular "Save a Life" pledge
taken, based on $50 year, as it has
been found that S5 month will pro
vide food sufficient to keep child
alive.
The allotment for Newberry coun-
ty is $4,000 Something over 81 900
has already been subscribed. Mr.. l.
H. Hunt is chairman for this county.
A canvas of the county will be made.
