I have charge of the subscription
department of the paper ard It IS
very difficult for me to take name
off the mailing list. l know money
is scarce and "taey say times are
hard. The amount of the subscription
to each SUBSCRIBER is small. In the
aggregate the large number of SUD
scr,bers makes pretty good sum. l
war; you TO have the paper if y-u
want it. If you do not want 1T, l
have no desire to force it On you.
This is a personal appeal to all
whose time is out to send US even a
small amount of the subscription
price, and we VIII send the paper O..
If do nos hear from you by i'2ae fir t
day of September this year the name
will be taken off the list. Even ,o@e
dollar from each enc whose time 5
out would make some $400, and Sc
avery small amount to you, but a
good sum to the paper in these times.
Do not throw this aside but give it
yoar attention night now while you
have it ON your mind.
i have said many times before that
I@would take off the names and then
did not do it. This time / have 10
alternative, however much shall re-
gret to do so. We have some $500
names on our list and would be glad
to retain each one, but ut takes lot
of money to buy paper and pay print
ers and meet the other expenses of
the Office, and the subscription price
is one source of revenue, and we
must have the money to pay our bills.
Please do not d.sappo;nt me bat
help us to give you better paper 81

The patrons and friends of the Cen
trail school voted six mills additional
tax a short time ago. They are to
have meeting of all the folk in the
district at the school house on Fri
day afternoon at 80 o'clock to talk
over school conditions and determine
what is best to be done in this d:s-
trict. 1t is we'll for the trustees of
any school to keep the people of the
district in their confidence, and to
consult with them frequently, and in
this way keep alive the interest and
the enthusiasm of all the people in
the school. 1t is my purpose on the
invitation of the trustees to meet
with the people at this time, and |
hope to see all the people of the dis
trict out at the meeting, and espec-
tally the women and the mothers of
the children.

| would like for the trustees to re-
turn to me as soon as they can the
census cards which were sent to them
some time ago So that the list Of the
children between the ages of seven
and fourteen inclusive may be made
up, and one list filed in my office and
the other turned over to the teacher.
This is important before the opening
of the school. We are already late
in making up this census.

The trustees cf Bethel-Garmany
have commenced the building of a
house for the negroes in this district.
They have a fine location and the
negroes of the district are taking a
commendable pride in cooperating
and working with the trustees in the
building of the house. They have no
building out this side at all for the
negroes andG it was necessary to
build. The negroes have contributed
of money and work so that there will
not be a great deal of trouble i'm put
tirg up the building. They are ex-
h5oit.ng the, right spirit and that is
the only way to do.

l also had Mr.. Holly Harmon, the
clerk of court, to look over the reg
ords IN his office to see if plat Of
this territory and the school districts
could be found, but it is not there.
Mr.. Swearingen says the law gives the
county board authority to locate
lines, and that is true, bu. who has
the authority to pay for the wo:k,
and what fund should it be taken
from. We have no inappropriate
school fund in this county that / am
aware Of, and one Of the essential
things in having the work done S to
be able to pay the man who does Il.
Such survey and the location Of the
lines is absolutely necessary IN TINS
county in order to do any real sub
stantial work in the laying Of the
foundation for real school system
in this county that will be worth
while. Take the Jolly Street school
district for instance. The auditors
books call for only about 1900 acres
in the entire district. | have found
a plat which I had Prof. E. O. Counts
to make in 1913 when there were
some changes made in the district
lines, which calls for about 5lOO
acres. Either some of this land S
avoiding taxation or being taxed in
some other district, very probably the
latter. If we knew where the lines
are ard then had map of the entire
county showing these lines we could
go before the people and show them
Just where there could be made
changes that would be advantageous
to all the districts. But it will come
in time, and at the same time he
children pas on and do not come this
way any more, and are denied lie ad-
vsGptages which might and should be
theirs by a proper division of district
l,res and giving better advar|GGes to
all of them.

l would like also for all trustees
in making their contracts and ar
rangements for the coming session
to bear in mind that it is against the
law to overdraw the funds and to
make an effort to regulate their finan-
ces so as not to have an overdraft.

I wart to ask again that the trus-
tees of each district inform me as
soon as the elections are over the
name of the teacher or teachers and
the grade of certificate and the sal
ary they have promised and the
length of the term. l am gratified at
the cooperation l have had from the
trustees and that as a rule they have
kept the superintendent Informed of
the election Of the teacher and in ma
ny cases have consulted him before
taking action. That is the proper
spirit and 'tha-erly way by which we
can have a system of schools in the
county worth lsvhile. By working TO-
ge.her in harmony and cooperating in
all details in the matter of the school.
I would Like to know also when the
school is to open and when the date
is fixed for the compulsory attend
anca law to 60 irto effect. That as
YOU know is left to the trustees Of
each district. I am here to help you
and 20 work with you for whatever IS
best for all the children of your DIS
tr::it! and your school and l will do so
to the utmost of my ability. Certain
ly / will at all times cooperate with
you and if Lean serve you just let
me know.

Now | must say a word about the
roads, and | can not help saying every
time l get out cn them, net IN the
spirit of criticism, but in the spirit OF
,helpfulness and suggestion and en-
couragemeHee. The New berry road all
the way to the Lexington line is IN
great need of immediate attention,
and the holes must be attended to IN
different manner than simply
throwing pile of dirt or sand in the
hole and leaving it to mix of its own
accord, because it will not mix IN any
such methcd. You have to plow 1t
up and then pack it if you want the
proper sort of mixing. And the road
to Prosperity has the dirt that was
piled in the middle of the road partly
spread out, but it is not mixing prop
erly ard the read is in really bad
condition and rough. and will be no
better until this top soil or sand and
dirt that is hauled there has been
plowed in with the road bed and then
it will mix so as to make a road. And
the same is true in large measure on
that part of the read from Prosperity
en- to the Lexington line, which l un-
derstand has been completed and ac-
cepted by the commission and let to
contract for maintenance. 1t is
rough and especially does that part
of the road which goes under the
Southern, at that dangerous under
crossing, need attention. This is a
bad place and it makes it much worse
for the roadbed to be in the condl-
ton that It is. And from Little
Mountain to the Lexington line which
a short time ago was so nice and
smooth is now full of holes, and the
fill on the concrete bridge at the
branch IS very rough, and if that is
what the state highway commission
calls being in splendid condition then
/ am willing to admit that what l
don't know about roads would fill
several more volumes.

AS stated we went by Lexington
ard left the highway Al. Chaplin. This
road is in fairly good condition for
read that is not a highway that cost
thousands per mile TO, build. There
are lad places and when It rains the
road gets in very bad shape. From
4. .exingtcn to Columbia :he road bed
IS waahing in ridges and when you
have to detour in meeting 9 car to
give the main road and get "orss on
the side it is just Ike running over
corn rows only they are rot as high
.as what we would call rows. Again
let me say that to spend money to
build roads unless you provide for The
n.air.crance you are wasting good
money. We came. back by the Pied
mont. The R:chland force is at work
on the road after you get ten or elev-
en- miles cut of Columbia ard fer
about two miles the driving is bad
because the road is torn up, but this
is to be a concrete CIR GENE: road and
when completed will be fine for those
who like that sort of read. From
Spring Hill, or rather from Wateree
Creek, to Chaplin the Lexington cha n
gang has worked and while it is pass
able ard better than it wcs Il still
rema..rs pretty bad, and if it should
rain and the drag or scrape or bc'-.A
are not used on it you better go an
c her way, because When that fire
du:t some ten inches deep gets some
wc.er on it and then a little travel
The last condition of that road VIII be
worse than the first. But if it should
be given ..he proper atter'ton at the
right time it could be kept good all
winter. But to have any sort of rcad
there must be constant maintenance
in this time of people riding about
over the country.

WHY ?
Why Is II Considered Unlucky to Break
Mirror
Copyright. 1920. by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

Probably because Of the fact that there
is supposed TO be somo connection he
tween the reflection Of n person in mir
ror and the persons themselves M
number of savage tribes attribute strange
powers to ones shadow number of
common supcistitions have entwincd
themselves around the looleing-glass. In
many parts Of England, for example, il in
believed that il is fatal to let an infant look
i'm n mirror before IL W yoar old, while
the Swedcs maintain that girl must
not look in the glass after dnrk by the MD
of any artificial light under pain of losing
all attraction for the opposite sex though
even Swedss today realize thnt the CON
trary h far more likely To be true.
Practically universal. however, IL the
siperstition thqt breaking mirror
brings seven years i'll fortune, and here
we have n folk-talc founded on fact, for
there was once time when the shatter~
ing of n mirror truly meant seven years of
i'll fortune. This was several centuries ago
when glass was far more expensive than
il in today and IL took the savings Of years
to pay for piece large enough tn make n
mirror. Looking glasses were therefore
highly esteemed, and the person who
broke one of them had TO watch his pennies
very carefully for long time in order 10
replace it.
