We can not understand how q man
who has been honored with the office
of state attorney general and with
congressman from his district, and
then by the people with the great Of
flee of United States senator, could
in the evening of life will be willing
to even consider, much less to seek
or think or accepting, the JOB of
melting out the pitiful little federal
patronage from the party he has
fought, and in opposition to the par
ty that has so honored him. 1t IS be-
yond our comprehension. We had
rather go down the hill in poverty
standing by the party that has so
honored US, and remain true to the
traditions of the country and Of our
fonbears, after receiving all these
honors, than to possess even the tenn
porary 'honor" and prestige which
could come from any such desertion
of the people who had bestowed all
these honors in the past. We do not
believe it is true that any South Car
Gilman will do any such thing, and
yet the daily papers tell US that that
very arrangement is now being made.

The schools in the county have all
closed and so far as | am able to
Judge there has been a very success
full wear among them. Only few have
had a less term than seven months.
Several of the rural schools had eight
months and couple nine months We
should work to the point where no
rural school has less term than
eight months, and preferably nine
months. We should not expect the
children nor the teachers in the rural
schools to do in seven months what
is done by city and towns schools IN
nine months. 1t is coming. Great
progress has been made in the schools
in the county in the last few years.
The county treasurer has completed
his statement of the collection or
taxes and has ready the amount to the
credit of each district, and just as
soon as can enter the amount on my
ledger | will mail the trustees state
ment showing just how the districts
stand, and then they will know how

ent went over them with ne and made
allotment. He gave us all that Is
coming, though the standard OF meas
nrement was little different from
what l had expected, but am lnclln-
ed TO the opinion that he IS correct.
He counts the income of the district
from the several sources and then the
amount paid teachers according TO the
salary set by the state and makes up
the deficit. He does not allow any
thing for incidentals and fuel and
building. And as this appropriation
is to guarantee the salary OF the
teacher there can be no just criticism
of this adjustment of the deficit. The
districts will have to provide the IN
c;dentals from some other source
either bv the addition of small tax
or raise the funds in some other way
These ten districts will get around
$4,000. Instead Of taking the exact
amounts the treasurer has collected
he takes the amount the auditor says
should be raised by the special tax.

In the afternoon we drove around
by Jolly Street and out in the Column
bia road at Excelsior, and just as we
came in the road we saw that line OF
cars along the road toward the rail-
road and l knew at once there had
been some sort Of accident. We stop
ped and Mr.. Leitzsey went down to
see what the trouble was, and as we
could be of no service we drove on to
Prosperity where there was the rally
of the colored people to raise money
to erect new school house. There
was a large crowd at the Antioch
BAPTIST church and l made a talk and
explained how the county and state
and Rosenwald would cooperate II
thev showed willingness to help
themselves and to do something. An
other collection was raised with the
result of over $50 for the cause. At
both these places Mr.. Leitzsey also
talked to the people and gave them
encouragement.

THE HERALD AND NEWS

Fortunately in this county in the sew
eral districts for which aid was asked
have paid practically all the tax so
that there is very little difference in
the statement of the treasurer and
the auditor, but it means that each
one of these districts will have a
small deficit that will have to be pro-
vided for in some way. The state
superintendent interprets this act to
mean to guarantee the salaries of the
teachers and that the trustees must
provide in some other way to care
for the incidentals and in that view it
would seem that he was correct.

teachers and that the trustees must
provide in some other way to care
for the incidentals and in that view it +
would seem that he was correct.
Mr.. Swearingen was very busy
mar the day l was there, and all the !
rest in the office were at work, and he
said he hoped to send out the checks
for this money during the present
week. It is very remarkable the
wonderful grasp he has on the schools
of the state, and when you think of
the large number and he will tell you
about the details and the finances of |
the individual districts of your own
county. you fatter yourself that
he is more concerned about your
county possibly than some of the
others, but when you come to know
that he has the same information
about the districts in all the forty
six counties, the little conceit or what
ever you call. it that you had is knock
ed into a cooked hat or something
else, and you realize that he is the
same to all the superintendent and
all the schools of the state, that IS so
long as he finds that you are dealing
fairly and squarely with him. My in
tervew was indeed very pleasant and
satisfactory, and while he went into
the details of the income and the eX-
penditures very carefully, and 1T
took US about three hours to check
up the ten districts in which | had ap-
plications, when we finished he had
allowed all I asked on the basis he
has adopted for the distribution OF
this fund, and in accordance with his
view of the intention of the leglsia-
ture in the passing of the law and IN
accordance with the terms Of the act,
and there could be no reasonable OBJ
lection to tie method of distribution
which he adopted.
I left Newherry on Tuesday morn
ing at six O'Clock and had two of my
American boys and U. S. Gallman. the

time of the day and the dust was not

a half hour at Little Mountain and

o'clock, which is about the schedule

road to Hilton, though it has not been
completed all the way, but all but
some top soil it is finished to the
Richland line, which is within very
short distance Of Hilton. From Hal-
ton we weYt on to White Rock and
then turned toward the Spring Hill
road and came into it at the school
house just below Spring Hill. The
road through here is not very good
but when completed it will be fine
road The Richland part is not work
ed out, but force is now at work
on it and within the next three weeks
or more it will be open down to Bal
lentine and from there it goes out IN
