al Little Mountain that night. Mr..
Wilson said he had contest in decla-
nation by several young ladies Wh!cn
he would have on Monday night, and
he would postpone the announcements
of the winner of the Auli essay medal!
until that night, if l would come over
and bring President Derrick of New
berry college along. This agreed to-,
and on Monday afternoon | hooked
my ninety day wonder and we
drove over in the early afternoon and
had fine supper with Mr.. and Mrs.
G.. NJ. Wilson, and then went to the
school house where there had already
assembled large audience to hear
the exercises. There was a contest
in defamation by seven girls, and 1t
was one of the beI that | have ever
heard. There was not a poor one in
the lot. In fact it was very difficult
task to say which was the best and
then the judges did nas agree. The
average was fine and every one de-
served a medal, and certainly the
highest commentator for the manner
in which they recited. 1t evidenced
the most, careful training. The fol-
lowing. young ladies were in fhe con-
test: Misses Mayme Nelson, Eugenla
Bardtn, Minnie Lou Reid, Sara Nc
,Carley, Virgie Mae Deas, Rosalyn
Shannon, Mary Mayer. The medal was
won by Virgie Mae Deas with honor
able mention of Sara McCarley, the
presentation being by the Rev. Mr..
Ross.
The Aull essay medal was won by
Miss. Mary Mayer with honorable
mention of Miss Minnie Lou Reid, the
preset alton was made by Col. +. II.
Aull
President Derrick made a good
speech suitable to the occasion and 1t
was thoroughly enjoyed and appre-
ciated by the audience. | hope to
have now closer relations between this
school and the college than has here
tofore existed in a better acqua!nt-
ances among them. When we get the
good road built it will bring the two
towns closer together, and that means
that the college will be closer to Whit
mire and Whitmire closer to the COL
lege. Some of these high school boys
and girls should come to New'berry
college from Whitmire, and that is
what / mean by establishing closer
relations between the two towns. Mr..
Wilson has done good work at Whit
mire the pastsession and will continue
the fine work during the coming year.

| promised to attend school picnic
at Reederville on Saturday but just
as l was about ready to start Mr.. b.
C. Matthews called me and said that
there was certain information that It
was necessary to have gotten up from
the records in my office, and that 1t
should be had that day, and that the
only thing for me to do was to stay
here and get it. Of course | had to
obey as much as | regretted to miss
this picnic. The school house at this
place has been finished and painted
and the grounds cleaned off and It is
now one of The neatest and best CT The
two teacher schools in the county.
Miss Irene Workman has consented
to teach the coming session and the
community is exceedingly fortunate
to secure her services. An assistant
will be needed and | hope the trustees
will secure one at an early date so
that we may have fine school here
the coming session.

These are known both by the Swedish name, Systerbak, and the Russian name, Sestroryetzk.

 Mr. Edkpr: Won't you please ad- init that it is sntirely wrong that we mertsls who make up this community, or any other community. and who pay our share of the expense of keeping things going should be called upon to pay for the time squandered By our legislators in the diScussio1 of such fads as the so- called daylight saving seheme?" Such things ought net to be allowed to creep into legislative halls. It is absurd. ri- diculeus Because pAIt of the mem bers of the community are being swept along on what may be called "a wave of popular excitement" don't make it right. Even if 1t can be proved that We saner ones are slightly in the mil narity don't make It right or just to compel all to abandon, even temporarily , the use of the only true, perfect stand ard, almanac time. If part of those who work in the factories in the cities and villages want to set their clocks an Aaur ahead and work on that sched- ule no eHs objects but.

DAYLIGHF SAVING.

Because there are those in the general assembly who have disregarded the wishes of their constituents sentiment in the largo centers of the state has not been turned from daylight saving. There con tinues to be a Eeeognjtiop of the benefits obtained from khdaitan arrangement and a desire for itsf eohfinuakee When cities and industrial plants show the demand to be for daylight saving by from sS to 90 per cent. of these- expressing a prefer ence it is quite natural that there should be strong sentiment in support of the suggestion put forward by Mayer Wilson of Bridgeport that the daylight saving arrangement in that city will be put into effect by common consent if the demand Tor such action is made clear.
 It is interesting to. note in this eennec- ton, following the approval the idea has received. that efforts are now underway 10 have the legislature take action look ing toward the restricting Of the railroad schedules to standard time for trains ep- erated solely within the sstate That would mee~ the trains going through the state would be on dsslight saving time and those going between cities in the stata Eould be on standard tiHae, This indi- rates a greater rouRf of peoFfpsion than any other prepos.tion that has been sug. rested. and 1t was for the purpose oi avoiding double time and confusion that many of the advocates of standard tim. voted against daylight saving. If the ad herents of standard time seek to hay, The railroads run on both standard ant daylight saving time they disregard tn, very thing which they have been clamer lng for-the avoidance of confusion anG inconvenience. They maintain that ther, should be home rule for raiIroad opera ton in this state rather, than one time oi the entire system, but they are not cog nizant of the demands of the majority . willing even to conceds that home rul should be permitted to the cities an towns of the stRts pnsths matter of day
 It is thsksfbeeaauites in keeping wit the muddiiAg tliat the general assembi has engaged .ia that 4hese eommunitie of the state should manifest a streH feeling in behalf of the daylight sayin plan through comno1 consent.
