Maybinton is historic place, and
in the good old days before the war
was really noted as place for the
stage coaches to stop and change
horses and to spend the night. The
Inn stood near the place where Mr..
Richards now lives, and there were
there in those days all the good
things for which the countryside Inn
was noted. There was in fact a lit
tie town there and there are signs of
the old houses still in evidence. Mr.
\. H. Maybin and his brother live at
the old Maybinton and Mr.. W. 3.
Whitney close by, and just a little
further down the road is the home of
Mr.. W. D. Hardy and Mr.. w. V.
Lyles. This is the original home of
the Hendersons who now live over
on the Mt. Pleasant side of the Emo
rec, ard many Of the older members
of this family are buried IN the old
graveyard which is at Mayb'nton,
though now it is very much grown
up in trees and bushes. The place is
also noted as being on the direct
route of Emily Geiger in her famous
ride during the Revolution, and it is
said that she spent the night here.
But at present there is need first Of
all for some roads to be built in this
section of the county. There is now
a first class bridge over the Eonree
at Keit..'s. And that reminds me to
say that just On this side Of the Emo
rec is the famous Eaoree plantation
Of the late Col. Ellison S. Keitt now
occupied by his daughter, Mrs. l.. P:
Miller. There is no reason why May
binton should not be put on the map
again, but to do SO there must be
some roads built down this side, and
then there could be some white peo-
pie move in and some Of the Big plan
tations cut up into small farms and
owned by white people. That is what
is needed and then we could have a
large and fourishing school. The as
sessed value of the taxable property
in this school district is something
over 100000. Some of the best
people of the state live down here
ard they live we'll but we need more

On Friday morning / drove Prof.

On Friday morning l drove Prof.
Peterson out to St. Lukes, where
: Prof. Wessinger is teaching agricul-
tare. We spent about an hour at
this school and from there we drove
over to Midway where Prof. Counts
has class in agriculture. Prof. Pet
erson went over the schedules with
the teachers at these schools and
then we drove over to New Hope
Zion to keep an appointment I had
at this school.
st. Lukes just opened on the Mon
day preceding and the work was not
yet thoroughly organized, but the
teachers were getting down to real
work. The attendance was not near
so good as it will be very soon, owing
to- the great amount of cotton to be
picked, but the farmers are getting
along fine IN gathering the crop and
the fields are not near so white as
they were a short time ago.
Midway was in the second week
and the attendance was fine. Each
room had a large enrolment already
and the outlook now is that fourth
teacher will soon be needed at this
school. The building has been fill
ished, except the painting, and the
trustees have received it and the
money will be forthcoming to pay
for the job. The paint has been or
dered and the painting will be done
right away. The ladies are planning g
to purchase a piano and will have
the money very soon if they keep up
The pace they have set, and the fine
spirit. which prevails throughout the
district, and I have no doubt they
WILL. Then the next thing should be
a system of lights for the auditorium
and seats for the same. And some
new desks for the class rooms and
desks for the teachers. These things
will come fast where the school spirit
runs as high as it does in Midway.
Prof. Counts is getting along fine
with the. agricultural course, accord
ing to Prof. Peterson, and in fact
Prof. Counts is fine teacher with
large experience in the class room.

Several of the schools are to have
Halloween parties this week and
they are fine because they help to
keep up the community spirit and
keep up at the same time an inter-
est in the school, and then generally
the ladies manage to make some
money for the school at therl, and
that is fine also. l am sorry that l
could not remain at Pomaria for the
one there last Friday evening but l
am sure it was success for the good
people down this side generally sue
ceed at whatever they undertake.

Educational Day at St. Lukes.

Or rather school day, for that is
what we are planning to have at st.
Lukes on Friday, November IL, and
we want every man, woman and
child in the whole countryside round
about to come out that day and let US
talk together about schools, and what
is the thing to do to better the
schools. And to get up an interest
in the schools of the community. We
would like to have all the people
there from all the districts in reach
and as many more as are interested.
We want the fathers and the moth
ers and the citizens who have no chill
dren and the preachers and the
teachers and the doctors and all the
others to come out that day and let
US have good time together. Prof.
Leuco Gunter, who was at one time
state supervisor of rural schools, has
promised to be with US, and we hope
to have one or two others, possibly
Prof. Peterson and Superintendent
Swearingen and some more, and
some of the local people from Pres
perity and Newberry. We will not
start the meeting until about 1880
or maybe IL O'clock so that every
ore may be willing to come ard
spend at least half day together
in the interest Of the biggest prob
lem before the people of this cou2-
try today, the proper and right sort
of education of the youth of the
land.
Let every one begin to talk about
this big meeting that we are going
to have at st. Lukes and let US all
determine to make it the biggest
thing that has been pulled off in the
county in many moons, and it we
so determine we can have it just
what we make up our minds it shall
be. .

: New Hope-Zion.

We reached this school about
schedule time, IL o'clock noon. Ow-
ing to the busy season of the year
there were not many of the patrons
and not all the trustees present. We
talked over the situation in this coz
solidated district and ] hope that
everything will be arranged satisfac-
torily to all the patrons until we can
get the new building under way and
completed. AS soon as the farmers
get a little better along with their
work We will have another meeting
and get the plans going for the new
building and secure the necessary
land. There is no reason why. We
should not have in this joint district a
fine rural graded school. And we
are going octave it. The spirit Of
the people is all right and that is
what 1T takes to do the work. Misses
Lominick and Watson are the teach
ers:. and they are working well to-
gether and s4he school will succeed.
The trustees are taking an active IL
terest and that is what counts. My
good friend, Mrs. Simpson Long, was
thoughtful enough to bring along a
lunch for me which I greatly en-
joyed, but having the two boys and
their mother and Prof. Peterson l
engaged dinner from Mrs. Settler at
Pomaria and we all enjoyed it, also.
Prof. Peterson desired to 60 on to
Columbia that evening and drove
him over to Little Mountain to get
the train and reached there juss
about FIVE minutes after the train
had passed, being misguided as to
the time the train was due there, but
we found car going right on to Co.
lumbia and there was room for an
other passenger, so Mr.. Peterson did
not have to wait for the night tram.
Agriculture is being taught in, the
Little Mountain high school and at
Poraaria and also at Whitmire, but
Prof. Peterson will take another trip
to visit these schools. We are al
ways glad to have him and hope ne
will come as often as he can. He
made a talk to the school at New
Hope-Zion and / did also and the peo-
pie seemed interested.

A'gentleman who has been reading
this column told me the other day
that he had become very much IN
tere7.ed in it, and that he really en-
loved it, and he is not a native OF
Newberry, and has been in the coun-
.ty only a short time. Well, ne IS
right. The purpose Of the column is
good and the people should be inter-
ested because the education of the
children of the country is the su-
preme issue Of the century, and the
man who hesitates or halts IS play
ing with fire. But he asked me when
I went over TO Tabernacle that ne
wanted me to 60 mile or two fur
ther up toward Laurens and visit the
site Of the Liberty Hill Lutheran
church and the graveyard there, and
that he felt. satisfied that / would
find something interesting there to
hang a tale on, and I thanked him,
and when I do go up this side l am
going to make it convenient to go
there. I am glad he suggested 1t.
/ had heard of the Liberty Hill Luth-
eran church from my boyhood days,
because I had heard my father talk
about his trips up that side when a
young man on his visit to his rela-
tive, the late L. w. P. Riser, and
others who lived up there. / am glad
there are those who are interested IN
the stories of these old landmarks
that are fast being wiped out, and
that may be able in some feeble
way to chronicle at least a bit Of the
history which they contain and
which may be helpful in way to
the historian when he comes to write
the history of Newberry county, be-
cause these little stories that / may
write for The Herald and News will
be preserved in the files and be acees-
sible to the historian, and then they
should be interesting to the people OF
the present day, but sometimes it
seems that modern life is dash
through crowd. A man hardly has
time to stop and tie his shoestring.

With Prof. Peterson.

Prof. Verd Peterson state super
visor of agricultural instruction,
came to Newberry on Thursday for
the purpose of visiting some of the
schools in the county where there is
agricultural instruction. He spent
Thursday with Prof. j. C. Poole, who
has charge of agricultural instruction
at the Newberry high school, and
also gives instruction in this branch
at Mt. Bethel-Garmany, St. Phillips,
Silverstreet. Prof. Poole is getting
along nicely with the work in these
schools and has good classes at all
of them. He has one period each

While we were at New Hope-Zion
on last Friday Prof: Peterson went
out in the cotton field near the school
house and pulled Off some of the half
grown bolls Of cotton and found
quite number of the boil weevil il
all stages of development. They are
there in quantities and may be eS-
pccted to be in droves the next year.
And yet / have not exactly under
stood this pest. They tell US that
he not only travels but he remains,
and yet we are also told that there
is made this year one Of the biggest
crops Of cotton in years, and the wee
vii has now come all the way from
Texas and has also remained in
Texas. Then if he is so destructive
how is it that we have such a large,
crop of cotton. Maybe if he had not
come there would have been so much
cotton made that it would not have
been worth the while to pick it, and
maybe cloth would have been so
cheap that every one could have been
well clothed. One thing ] know, that
in this county this year there has
been made a very large crop of cot
ton. And there has never been a
better fall in which to gether it. And
there has been made a fine crop Of
corn.

The school house as stated is in the
edge of the, beautiful grove at the
residence of, Mr.. Berry Richards and
it is neat ,one room house and has
recently been painted and is comfort
able and has library and is kept in
good condition, but how nice it would
be if there We're children in this far
away rural community, 1 mean far
away from the busy life of the town
and city, to have real, two story
school building, and then have it as
the rural community center where
there could be entertainments OF
various kind to make rural life pleas
ant and profitable. And that condl-
ton will come before many years.
Miss Holiday is the teacher and this
IS her second year in this school and
she is doing fine work here in the
community. Her school is small in
number but these few children are
entitled to just as good as those in
communities where there are more OF
them, and they are too far away to
be united with any other school.
There are just five bright little girls
who make up the school family and
they are all the white children, of
school age in the district, so l was
told. And the danger is that the par
cnts of four of them are going to
move away by the end of the year. l
hope they may reconsider and that
instead some more parents will move
in. All of the trustees, j. Berry
Richards, John McCullom and W. V.

Tuesday, which shows the right
spirit and that they are interested
in the school. Miss Holiday is plan
ming an entertainment at the school,
