The story of the opening of the
new building at the Mollohon mill
did not get in the last paper, and nei-
ther did the story of the meeting of
the teachers on Saturday. Both are
published today. I made few COM
ments on the teachers meeting and
now / want to say word about the
magnificent building at Mollohon. 1t
is the handsomest building in the
state. There may be and no doubt are
larger buildings, but l am sure there
can be none that is better in all ap-
pointments than this one. 1t is as
near complete in all of it's appoint
ments for the purposes for which it
is designed as it is possible to make
a building. And it is we'll built and
handsome, and the furnishings are
all that could be desired for such a
building. The management certain
ly has done its part for the education
and proper training of the boys and
girls in their village. And it being
a part of the city system of schools
the children have the advantages of
the city high school. And the higher
grades in the elementary department.
No children in the state have any bet
ter advantages than these children.
They have four excellent and expert
enced teachers who are under the su
pervision of the city superintendent
of schools.

sation of work for two or three weeks
during all this good weather means
more than that much delay in the
completion of the road. There is no
disagreement between Contractor
Newell and the highway commission,
and it does seem to me that the COM
mission should insist on Mr.. Newell
keeping the work going while the
weather is good, and if he has to dis
continue to quarrel, do that when he
can not work on the road. | hope
the trouble will soon be adjusted, and
if not, that the highway commission
will get in behind Mr.. Newell and in
sist that he proceed with the work,
and let US have the road within very
reasonable time.

On our return trip from Chappells
we made brief stop at the home of
Mr.. C. C. Duncan to see if they had
secured teacher for the Reagin
school, Mr.. Duncan being trustee.
We found that Miss Stella Tenant
had been employed to teach at this
place. This is a small one teacher
school with only some eight. or ten
children. While at the home talk
ing about the school it was decided to
organize a community association for
work in the district, and to improve
the building and help make it better
for the children. Mrs. Huston Long
was made president and Miss Stella
Tenant secretary and Mrs. c.. c.
Duncan treasurer and the other COM
mittees will be appointed and they
will go to work in this community.
The school opened on Monday.

This week I am crowding in as
many visits as i. is possible TO crowd
in any five days. Miss Thomas is
with me and we have had fine travel
ing up to this writing and have made
our schedules practically on time, ex-
cept we were half hour late at ST..
Lukes by my misunderstanding my
own program, thinking we were due
there at 1 80 instead of l o'clock.
My friend Thompson Hunter got. after
me in a good natured sort of way
about being late, or l would have not
known that I was late, because | was
under the impression that l 80 was
the hour until I consulted the puo-
lished program. 1 do like to be on
time at school appointments, or any
other appointments for that matter.
/ may have, and no doubt have, many
faults, but being late at school ap-
pointment is not one of them. The
weather has been ideal except that the
roads are little dusty, and when one
of these big cars passes at the limit,
or you meet one going forty miles
the hour, a big cloud of dust is the
result.

Our next stop was at Chappells
where we arrived a little late owing
to car trouble. We found several of
the patrons of the school present,
but they insisted that we have dinner
before the meeting. Mr.. and Mrs.
J. L. Fellers had kindly arranged to
give US dinner which we greatly en-
joyed. The school here is taught this
year by Misses Simkins, Saunders and
Fore, Misses Simkins and Saunders
having taught here the past session.
The district being strong financially
there is a nine months school with
only rural graded school aid from the
state. After visiting the various rec
itation rooms we had the children as
semble in the auditorium and l re-
quested Miss Thomas to give them a
talk. We did not organize an asso-
citation here inasmuch as meeting
had been called for Tuesday evening
to take up the matter of organizing
civic league and it was thought best
to have the matter Of organizing tax
en- up at that meeting, which probably
would be much larger attended, but
am sure in this fine community there
will be strong association organized
which will work for the Improvement
of the school. There is also lyceum
course on at this school. They have
a handsome school building here very
much after the model of the one at
Little Mountain, with much larger
auditorium and the auditorium is
seated with nice opera chairs and the
meetings of the community are held
in this auditorium. This is cultured
community and much interest is taken
in the school and the cause of educa-
ton.

will continue in the next paper
the result of our visits during the
week. I am sure the parents who are
interested in the school, and all of
them should be interested, will be
glad to hear something about the
work. There is no greater work be-
fore the people of the county than
the Improvement of the schools. It
is probable that Miss Thomas will
spend the greater part Of next week
with me so that we may visit all the
schools in the county. have made a
slight change in the schedule for FRI
day. We will be at Jalapa al 9
o'clock as published; at Kinards at
1880 instead of 10 o'clock as pub
lished; at ReeGerville 1880 as pub
lishcd and at Bush River at one.
O'Clock instead of two O'Clock and at
Long Lare a. 3 o'clock instead of 4
O'Clock. / hope to meet as many of
the patrons at the schools at the
hours named as can make it conven-
lent to be there.

Our first stop was at Trinity. we
reached this place at $50 having to
wait in Newberry for the arrival of
the train from Columbia, but Miss
Thomas was ready to start the jour
nev from the train. This was the
opening day for this school, and we
found quite a number of the patrons
of the school waiting for US. The
school rooms were neat and clean and
had the appearance of
readiness for the work of the session.
They have two excellent and expert
enced teachers here in the persons OF
Miss Dollie Mae Sem and Miss Ruth
Martin. Miss Sem taught the school
the past session as principal and Miss
Martin taught the Dominick school.
! made talk and so did Miss Thomas,
and then we organized an association
to work for the school and the COM
munity, and I feel that there is going
to be some good work done by this
association for the school during this
session. We have got to raise some
money from other than the regular
sources in all these equalizing schools
to avoid a deficit and I am depend
ing on these associations to do the
work. and 1 feel sure they are not
going to disappoint me. And besides
this, they will do great work IN
keeping alive the school spirit which
is so important to the success CT the
school. This school will have the nee
essary enrolment and there will be
absolutely no trouble about the aver
age attendance. l was very much
pleased with the fine spirit manifest
among the patrons who were present
at the opening on Monday, and I am
sure now that it spells success for the
school. The following officers were
elected for Trinity: Miss Dollie Mae
Sem, president; Mrs. j. c. Waldrop.
secretary.

Our next stop was at Silverstreet
at II o'clock There were not any Of
the patrons at the school present, but
was very much gratified at the large
number of bright boys and girls in
this school, and the fine work that is
being done, and l feel sure that it
will continue during the entire ses-
sion. The teachers say that the work
is moving nicely and smoothly, and [
am satisfied that it is from What |
observed during the hour that we
spent here. Miss Thomas made an
excellent talk to the children which 1
am sure Will result in good. There is
fine opportunity here to establish a
high school, and l hope to see the op-
portunity taken advantage Of by the
next session. They now have more
than eighty children on the roll and
the attendance is fine They have a
fine building and the auditorium is fit
ted up with neat opera chairs, and
there is to be lyceum course here
again this season, and everything
looks well for fine work with Mr.. R.
T. Cromer as principal and Miss
Gladys S1ilwell and Mrs. 7. F. Suber
rs assistants. There is already one
Of the most active Improvement asso-
ci& IONS here that there is in the
county, and ! trust they will keep up
the good work they have been doing.
Mr.. R. c. Neel, one Of the trustees,
and some assistants were at work fin
ishing the placing of pump in the
we'll. which has recently been sunk for
the school. This is a good commun-
ity and am hoping they will eagerly

seize the fine opportunities they have
for doing great things for the chill
dren of the community by the estab
lishment of high school, and the
adding Of four more rooms to the
building so as to complete the original
design.

/ have gone over several roads for
the first time in these two days, and
/ am glad of the opportunity to ex-
plore new roads and to discover new
territory in my own county. All the
highways are full of small holes which
can not be prevented until there IS
some rain. But if they are scrapcd
and worked up after the first rain
they will be fine. The road to Trinity
after you leave the highway just b2-
yond Bush river is about as bad as 1t
can be. From Trinity out to the road
leading to Silverstreet is little OF
the new road that had never travel
ed. The highway to Chappells needs
to be finished, and when i: is done It
will be one of the best in the county.

how, and this Mr.. Gunter knows when
it comes to working on your car, and
then he is always so nice about 1t,
and that is whole lot.
To get back to roads, ! was told
that work had been stopped on the

agreement between the contractor and
the su5-contraetor about the pay, and
while they quarrel the work ceases.

least be completed by early fall and
that would be able to make the trip
home before Christmas over good

The defense moved that the verdict be

HANGS TO HIS JOB.
Massachusetts Prohibition Director Re-
fuses TO Resign.

WASHINGTON. July "a telegram
from Harold ID. Wilson. recently ap-
pointed prohibition director for AIassa-
chusetts. fatty refusing to comply with a
request for his resignation from Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Blair. was
received yesterday noon at Mr.. Blair's of
fee, but in the absence of that official no
comment was made. Wilson's resigna7
ton was requested in connection with
plans for reorganization of the prohibit
ton enforcement service formulated by
Commissioner Blair.
Previously there has been a prohibi-
ton enforcement supervisor. whose ter
ritory was made up of the New England
states and northern New York. and a
prohibition director for each state in
New England. Elmer G. Potter of
Worcester was given the position of su-
pervisor Under the reorganization plans
there will be one official in charge of
the enforcement work in each state Pot
ter will be in charge of the enforcement
work in Massachusetts.
Commissioner Blair, it was learned
planned to retain Wilson in another ca
pacity at practically the same salary,
under Potter. in connection with his
plans for Massachusetts. but Wilson's re-
fusal to resign may cause him to be left
ont of calculation altogether. Both Pot
ter and Wilson were appointed on recon-
mendation of Senator Lodge.
