Poor plumlcy

Mr.. Pumley was embarrassed, and
we'll he might be, for the suitcase he
was carrying had sprung leak. And
as he walked swiftly through the
crowd on the street it seemed that
every one glanced down at the lea
ther bag and saw that something was
wrong. Curses on that prohibition
law. Ever since it had been passed
people noticed any one who carried
a package-especially a suitcase.
The policemen eyed him suspicious
ly, and Plumley hurried faster than
ever, almost breaking into a run. He
boarded a street car and placed the
bag on the floor in front of him, try
ing to cover it with his feet as much
as possible. 1t was useless. The stuff
continued to trickle out and soon
formed miniature pool. Some of the
red-nosed male passengers looked en-
vious; straphangers saw it and smiled;
even the ignorant-appearing one in
the next seat looked wise! But all
Plumley could do was to turn several
colors and wish them all in hades!
In something like year the car ar
rived at his suburban home.
"Were you able to get any," asked
his wife at once.
"Yes,' said Plumley, throwing the
suitcase on the floor with a bang,
plague take 'em! Those are the last
oysters III ever carry homen'

THE CLOSE TIME

In the pamphlet of Bird, Game and

The Lexington grand jury resents
the proposition of the attorney gener-
al to have murder case removed
from Lexington to Richland The
grand jury feels that it is reflection
upon the fairness and sense of justice
of the Lexington people and asks the
solicitor of the circuit to hand out an
Indictment in the ease and let it be
tried in the county in which the
offense was committed. We some
how have feeling the same as the
Lexington grand jury that the man
should be tried as the law requires,
and that the Lexington jury will NEE

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

9 8 o o 9 9 o @ @ Q q o. Q O 9 9 O
This is busy season with the
schools of the county. Many of them
have already closed, but there have
been several closing during this week,
and by the end of another week prac-
tically all of the schools Of the coun-
ty will have finished another year and
will take rest and begin to make
ready for another school year. 1t is
gratifying that so many Of our purely
rural schools have been able to have
a seven months term, and that sever
al have been able to run for eight
months. Certainly the people of the
rural districts should desire that their
children have the same advantages Of
the children of the towns, and that IN
this day of progress and advancement
thew should not be satisfied to let the
rural school fall behind any school in
the county, and neither should they
expect their children to Go in seven
morths what the town children take
nine months to accomplish. The ma n
thing from an educational standpoint
for this generation is the building OF
the schools in the rural districts. This
should be the main thing to concern
not only the people of the rural dis
trict, but it should be the concern
of the people who live in town to do
what they can to better the cond !tlon
of the rural communities, and the
best way to do that is to help them
to have good schools. If for no other
reason they should be moved by a
selfish purpose, because unless you
have a happy and prosperous rural
community no town the size of New
berry can prosper.

How about the highway commission

How about the highway commission
putting up speed limit signs along
the new highways. 1t might do some
good. In some of the sections it is
very importalt that something be
done. The way some of the travellers
drive is fearful. They might give
some heed to the signs and then they
might not, but they would be remind
ers.

On Monday night I attended the
closing of the high school at Prosper
itv and the exercises were OF hlgh
order, and there are seventeen young
men and women who have finished the
course at this school and should go
right on to college. Prof. McSWaln
and his assistants have done good sub
stantial work at Prosperity the past
session. Real work without so many
frills. but work that counts IN the
education of the children. And 1t IS
matter Of deep regret not only 70
the people of Prosperity but to all
of US that Mr.. McSwain has dec'ded
not to teach any longer, and th-re-
fore will not return to this work at
Prosperity. The people of this live
town and community have had a fine
school here for many years, and the
foundation for the present school was
heoun when Prof. C. w. Welch taught
there half century ago. Prot Z y
Counts has been elected to succeed
Mr.. McSwain and viii enter upon the
work with the good will and best
wishes and cooperation Of all the
neople. He is fine teacher and has
had large experience and the school
should continue TO do good work un-
der his management as | confidently
expect that it will.

On Wednesday night l attended
the closing of the Smyrna school
taught by Misses Wylie. and Footman.
This is a good school and the district
has been able to maintain an eight
months term and should be able to
do the same thing another year. We
must keep up the steam and the en-
thusiasm such as the people have at
this time for that is the only way to
have a school, Of course, money is
necessary, but unless you have the
spirit and the enthusiasm and interest
there is not much doing in the making
of the right sort of school.

The closing exercises at both Mid
way and Smyrna were well balanced
and of interest and showed good
judgment on the part of the teachers.
And the work at both these schools
has been fine during the past year
and | would like very much to see
the same teachers at both schools dur
ing the next session, but | understand
that in both schools there will be
changes as the teachers are going to
new fields. 1t seems to me that where
the teachers are giving satisfaction
and where they intend to teach an
other year it would be better if few
changes are made. Better for the
teacher and better for the children.
But these are good schools and have
the school spirit and hope the trus-
tees will make every effort to get the
teachers that will fit the places the
coming year.
The children at both of the elosings
showed careful training and did their
parts well.

Kinards school closes and next Mon

that school though it really closes

all started or Puss and thn Noah boys
following Captain Noah and Mr.. Jonah,
and after walking for some time they
came to the top OF HILL from which
they had a good view Of the Island. And
not very far away were all the animals

Captain Noah took his buEle and blew

looked around Then he blew again, and
after that the animals formed IN line
with the elephants ct the head and
marched toward them.

seemed glad to be once more back IN the
