continues to grow i; means sooner or
later the downfall of the republic.
Federal aid means federal control
and we are so anxious to get federal
aid that we forget for the time just
what the tendency is and what it
means in the end.
We clamor for federal aid for road
building, and when we get it we are
willing to have federal control, and
that is what we get. The next step is
federal aid for schools, and that will
surely be followed by federal con-
troll, and then sure enough has fed
your local self-government, and the
end of the republic is not far distant.
George Washington told rs away
back yonder that whenever ne gov
eminent at Washington began to tell
us when to SOW and when to reap and
how to SOW and how to reap Wo be
unto the republic. They have very
nearly reached that point now in the
progress of the government. And
we are speeding along in that direc-
ton very rapidly.
If the world is to be made safe for
democracy, and that democracy IS to
endure, then we must stem the tide
toward big centralized government
from which all the people are to take
orders.
But President Derrick made a
splendid address and ne is right that
it will be a sad day for the south
when the people reach the point, if
ever they do, that they will not pay
tribute to the men who barred their
breasts to the enemy that local self
government may remain established,
and when America fails to honor the
dead who gave up their lives that the
rule of the military dictatorship might
be stemmed before it spread over the
nations of the world. The truth is
no nation can endure when it be-
comes so materialistic and SO money
mad that it can not stop long enough
to pay tribute to the memory of the
men and women who have made the
country what it is, and who labored
and sacrificed that we may enjoy the
blessings of peace and plenty. And
in many respects this is very ma
terialistic age in which We are living,
and we need to inculcate and to teach

SERVICE AT
ROSEMONT SUNDAY
President Derrick Delivers Appropri-
ate Address-Good Music
Graves Decorated

1t is very pretty custom which
calls fer paying tribute to the depart
ed dead, and especially the dead who
died in defense of his country, and
for cause that was just and right.
AS President Derrick said in his
timely and appropriate address, when
ever the time comes, if ever it should,
that the south fails to hold these an
nual observance days and forgets to
pay tribute to these departed ones,
there will no longer be any worth
while south, and when the United
States fails to honor the dead who
gave up their lives on Flanders field
to check the tide of government
that believed that might made right
"a military dictatorship-and to
make the world a fit place in which
to live, it will be sad day for the
future of America.
The service Sunday afternoon was
simple, impressive and appropriate,
and there was large crowd out to
hear the address and to enjoy the
sweet music and to strew the graves
with the beautiful flowers.
President Derrick was the speaker
of the occasion and he paid tribute to
the dead who died in the cause they
believed to be right, and took occa-
sion to say that the whole world now
acknowledged that the war Of the six
ties, on the part of the south and
those who fought, was not a war to
perpetuate human slavery as was con-
tended by some for many years after
the close, but that it was for the prin-
ciple of local self-government and was
now so recognized the world over, and
the pity is the principle went down in
defeat By overpowering numbers. 1t
is the only principle upon which a
democracy can live, and the tenden-
cy for the years that have followed
the war has been toward a great CEN
traliZed government at Washington,
and the tendency is growing very rap
idly in this age. and more rapidly
since the great world war. And if It

little more of the real culture and
more real and true sentiment which
can see something good besides ma
terial prosperity, and in fact when
they can see that material prosperity
is possibly the worst thing that could
happen, unless we are at the same
time making progress in the inculca-
ton of those finer sentiments which
make life the more worth while to
live.
Rosemont is beautiful place nat
urally, and the great pity is that some
one does not take more interest in
keeping it looking like some one
cares. 1t is all right with many of the
squares for awhile when the grief
from the laying away of dear one
is keen and fresh, but as time goes on
we begin to get careless and indiffer-
ent as individuals, and SO the beauty
of the individual squares is not main
tanned, and what we need is for the
custodians of the place to arrange to
have it decently and prettily kept,
and we are sure that no owner Of any
lot over there would object to the
keeping up of the driveways, and this
should be done by the custodians Of
the cemetery, but they do not, and
so there you are, and with poor roads
the whole place looks dilapidated.

people and they have good school
and a fine community and live at

some to spare. But they need some

AS heretofore announced the Ito
pia school and the Deadfall school
will have joint picnic on the after
noon of Friday, May IS, at the Utopia
school grounds, and we are to have
a meeting that afternoon to talk over
matters that l hope may be for the
good of the children of this commun-
ity. Miss Bess He: bert, the teacher
at Utopia, says the dinner Will be
served in the afternoon, and some
time during the afternoon we are to
have couple speeches in regard to
school questions, and l would like to
have as large crowd of the people
of the community as can make 1t con-
venient to be there.
Prof. Lueco Gunter will be with
US that afternoon and so will Prof.
]. B. FELTON, of Columbia. Mr.. Gun
ter was rural school supervisor for
several years and Mr.. FELTON, was
county superintendent of education
in Anderson county for quite awhile,
and both are experienced school men
and will have something worth while
to say to the people, and l urge the
people to ccme out and hear these
gentlemen. Prof. 0. B. Cannon of
the city schools and member Of the
county board of education will be
present also. In fact we are expect
ing to have the biggest rally OF the
year up to that time. We may have
some bigger in the future, but this IS
to be the biggest and most enthuslas-
tic meeting of the year, and we want
to see all the people from round
about present.

" so, and the whole thing is in urgent
and great need of immediate repair.
On this side the river from the
steel bridge on to Prosperity is the
most deceptive road that | have seen.
1t looks like it might be fine road.
There. is no appearance of anything
else. But it is rough and bumpy and
the fine dust or clay just hides the
rocks that lay beneath and all the
way you are running over small
rocks. A large part Of the road has
been macadam and the dirt has
been worked out from around the
rocks and now it is just the same as
running over the rockiest road you
ever saw, but the rocks do not appear
on the surface. 1t certainly is an IL
lustration of the saying that things
are not always what they seem, or
appear to be 1t seems to me that
this is one of the roads that should
have been included in the system of
good roads that we are to build. \
great many of the people over the
Saluda side have been trading for
years at Prosperity, and then it is
their nearest railroad station, and We
on this side should give them every
opportunity and make it as easy and
comfortable as possible for them to
come to see US and to trade with u.s.,
and one of the best ways to do these
things now is to build the people some
good roads. And certainly it seems
to me that this road from Prosperity
to this lower steel bridge is one of the
most important roads in the county
viewed from the standpoint Of the
best interests of the county. AS one
of your through highways for the
tourists it may not be as important
as some of the others, but it seems
to me that the people who are put
ting up the money to build the roads
should have some consideration in
the matter, and l have no doubt the
highway commission will soon begin
work on the building of this road. It
would not take so much money unless
the engineers should decide that the
road would have to be relocated in
too many places.

I regretted that l could not be at
O'Neall. on Saturday. l had some
weeks ago promised to go to Delmar
and then Saturday was the day for
the examination of teachers, and
while the county board had very kind
lv consented to conduct the examlna-
ton, and U. S. Gallman, the super
visor for colored schools, had prom
ised to hold the examination for the
colored teachers, but his mother hav-
ing died rather suddenly on Friday
night, of course l had then to make
other arrangements, and that delay
ed me until too late to stop by
O'Neall and make the other appoint
ment as l had planned. There was a
very large crowd present at the exc
cises at O'Neall, and the exhibition
was fine, and President Derrick of
Newberry college made splendid ad-
dress, so l am told by all those whom
] have seen who were present, and |
am sure the statement is correct.
This community at O'Neall has long
been noted for the most excellent
character of school exhibitions and |
am sure this one was no exception to
the rule.

The highway commission and en-
gineers have paid no heed to my re-
quest in the matter of the Jalapa
school lot, but the road l am told has
been built right on across the school
yard. 1t may be that the commits
sion will find another location for the
building and pay the cost of moving
it, or the putting up of another. Ger
tainly the commission would net
stand for the abolition of such a
school as the Jalapa school. The
chairman told me they had the ap-
peal under consideration and l am
sure they are going to do the right
thing about the school, because un-
less something is done, it will be out
of the question to open school again
at Jalapa.

Wilson Again
 Takes Slam At
 Manufacturers

Charging once more that the man. ufacturers of the city were behind the Democratic candidate for mayor so that they could control their own taxes, Clifford B. Wilson last night addressed a meeting in the Twelfth district at Polish hall. 219 Bunnell street, at which he recited the achievements of the past five admin istrations.
 The mayor told of the number of streets that had been paved while he had been in office, of the improve ments in the charities department, and of the fire and police depart ments.
 He said that the manufacturers were seeking control of the tax office for selfish purposes. endeavortng to transform the heavy tax burden from themselves to the small householders. In answer to the charges of extrava- gance which have been made against him, Wilson said that the city has something to show for the money which has been spent.
 Samuel Reich praised the record of the last ten years, calling Will sons regime the most constructive and progressive that this city has ever had.

Boston, Oct. 2s.-Removal from of- flee of District Attorney Joseph c. Pelletier off Suffolk county on grounds of eNtortion is asked in a petition filed with the Supreme Court by At torney General J. Yves gon Allen yes terday. Lawyers who figured prom inently in the removal of District Aa . torney Nathan~A. Tufts of Middlesex county are mentioned in this case also.
 Daniel H: Coak1ey and William J. Corcoran, former district attorney of Mid6lesex county, against both of whom disbarment proceedings have arisen out of the Tufts case, are named as among those with whom Pelletder is said to have conspired The numerous specified. ions of al- leged unfitness,- nalfeasance and non- feasance include many extortion charges.
 It is alleged Pe1letier conspired with Coak1ey to extort s20,5OO from tho Emerson Motors Company 50 pro- cure abandonment of threatened criminal prosecution. Conspiracy with Coak1ey to obtain in the same way $10,000 from Warren c. Daniel a dealer in securities, is also charged

MISS WAGNER
 HAS FINE VOICE

Endowed by nature with a win some, personality and a voice eXcep- tional in it's purity and sympathetic quality. Miss Grace Wagner, soloist with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at Polls theatre next Sun day, spent three years in Paris, under one of the worlds greatest masters of song, Jean DeReszke. The war came on and she returned to her natice country.
 Miss Wagner was born in Bloom ington, Ill.,, and Is a niece of Charles l.. Wagner, manager of John McCor- mack and other r~world-famous artists. He, not convinced that she was ready for either the concert or operatic stage, decided to place his niece with William S. Brady, the teacher of Carolina Lizzari and other we'll known singers.
 MT. Brady prepared Miss Wagner for her New York debut which was her real test. This occurred on Nov. 6, 1919, when she made her debut with the Society of American Singers at the Park theatre, as Marguerite in Faust
 It is indeed difficult for a young singer to score or even satisfy in a role made familiar by some of the greatest of modern sopranos and successfully withstand the rigors of metropolitan criticism. The verdict of the press was that she scored a real success.

The meeting was demanded so that friends of Elmer H.

Carter taking his place on the town committee.

 It Is said that the driver was dag zled by the headlights of an ap- preaching car and the rear of the machine struck the tree when the car swerved. The other three mem bers of the party were severely shaken up.
