Fror: Midway we drove on down to
Little Mountain. | should have said
that l invited DR.. Derrick to go down
with me, and he kindly offered to take
me in his car. l have an idea that
he likes to drive a car. Well, we got
an early start, but when we reached
the first stop at Midway, even before
8 o'clock, there were many cars al
ready there, and when we got to Lit
tie Mountain at the appointed hour,
1850, the children were there and
the mothers and fathers and friends
of school were there also. And here
is where the school spirit has been at
high water for many years and re-
mains at high tide all the time and
never tires of working for the school.
And to look out over that group of
$50 children in the beautiful auditor
ium that morning is sufficient reason
for it remaining so, if you wanted to
find a reason. And here they have
maintained a fine high school for
wears and with small district with
little taxable property and not much
area, but they have the children and
the will to have a school and they
have it. Mr.. Price K. Harmon is the
principal here, with Mr.. Willie Hack
Derrick as assistant in the high school,
and in the elementary department
Misses Wise, Brady and Summer.
Mrs. Burke Wise is the teacher Of mu-

And I would like to call attention
to the teachers examination which is
to be held on October 8 and 9, and
any one expecting to teach, or any
teacher holding below a first grade
certificate, or holding a permit, should
take the examination. Bear in mind
that a permit can not be renewed and
is only good for one year, and no
teacher should be willing to be salts
fled with a permit, or any certificate
below first grade.

Well, / had the pleasure of attend
ing the opening of two schools last
Monday morning where the same sort
of spirit prevails, they are believers
in their school at Midway and Little
Mountain. Midway is new school,
Just built the past year by consolidat-
ing Excelsior and Swilton, and they
had three teachers and more than
rs children the past session, and at
the opening Monday there were more
than eighty children present. at the
opening day, and the trustees have
under consideration the adding OF an
other teacher this session, making
four at this school, and l believe II
they do they will have more than a
hundred children in attendance, and
then they have the school spirit. They
have a very live Improvement asso-
citation, and during the first year they
raised nearly $500 for the improve
ment of the school. They have bought
a piano and paid for it, and have done
many other things toward the I'M
provement of the school, but the main
thing is the fine spirit which is main
tanned by the association. The next
thing they are going to do is to install
a modern lighting plant, and they will
pay for it very soon, and then they
will find something else to do. 1t is
Just like running a farm or anything
else, you can always find something
good and useful to do if you look for
it. The grounds need attention, and
there is need for a well, and the la
dies will provide for the observance
of arbor day when some trees will be
planted and some shrubbery and other
things to beautify the grounds. And
this reminds me that Arbor Day is
provided for in the school law, and l
will quote the section of the statute
for the benefit of this association and
all other schools in the county, and
hope it will be observed in the prop
er way as provided by law: "The
free public schools of this state shall
observe the third Friday in November
of each year as Arbor Day, and on
that day the school officers shall con-
duct such exercises and engage in the
planting of such shrubs, plants and
trees as will impress on the minds of
the pupils the proper value and ap-
probation to be placed on flowers. or
namental shrubbery and shade trees >
And hope the teachers and uther
school officers will note the reading
of the statute, it says "shalP' and not
"may,' and that they will make ar
rangements and govern themselves
accordingly. The average citizen of
this section does not appreciate the
fact that it takes but a little while
to fell a tree, but that it takes a long
time to grow one. The exercises at
the opening were conducted by the
Rev. ]. B. Harman and short address
es were made by Rev. S. P. Koon, Col.
f. H. Aull, Rev. C. J. Shealy and DR..
S. J. Derrick. Mr.. Lee Shealy is
the principal of the school and Misses
Long an Chapman the assistants. The
school starts off well. The people Of
Midway are thorough believers in
their school, Many of them were

THE CHAPPELL sHIGHWAY.

The highway to Chappells SO far
as built is one of the best of the new
roads in the county. l think l have
said as much before. Driving over
it in good Studebaker is just like
gliding along in Pullman on the
railroad. And the portion from. New
berry to Deadfall when finished will
be in many respects the best part of it
because of the fine concrete bridges
that are being built along this way.

BethellGarmany and Reederville and

10 and Smyrna and Burton and Domi-
nick and probably some of the others.
In fact all the schools will be in op-
Grafton by the first or second week in
October. l have promised to be at
the opening at jolly Street at 8
o'clock in the morning and at Bethel
Garmany at 1880. And at Reeder-
vile on Tuesday, October 4. l wish
it were possible to be with all of them
at the opening day, but this is impos-
sible, of course, but during the early
days of the session | will visit all the
schools. On Wednesday of this week
l will be at Tabernacle at $3.50 and
will be pleased to meet the patrons
and friends of this school so that we
may together talk over matters for
the betterment of the school. Friday
of this week I hope to go over to
Whitmire and will make stop at
Mccullough. I had hoped to be able
to get there before this, but it has
been impossible.

Mr.. Jos. H. Hunter was going over

Mr.. Jos. H. Hunter was going over
to my old home on Sunday to see his
sister Mrs. Alice Robertson and I
asked him to take me along. We went
in his light six Studebaker with John
ME Jones driving. About half the
road to Deadfall had some of the top
soil on it and it is good driving. In
fact the only place that is really bad
is the crossing at Beaverdam and it
seems to me that some one should do
just little work to the road here
while the bridge is being built and it
would be fair. It would not take but
a little bit to greatly improve it. You
have to detour at Albert Schroder's
while the repairs are being made at
the washout on the new road. And
then at the Lark place just this side
of Chappells the bridge has not been
built and there is bad place to enter
the new road. There is one thing it
seems to me about this road and that
is there is too much grade on some of
the hills as you approach Chappells
and it would have been much better
ID have made more fills and have taken
down some more of the crest of the
hills. The road leads right into Main
street at Chappells and in rear of DR..
Holloway's and then crosses righs on
for the Saluda river. At least mile
has already been graded and the other
two to the river should not take a
great deal longer. certainly will
be glad when the river is reached.
There will have to be a long bridge
or fill or something at the approach
to the river bridge and it seems to me
that some one who knows how
should inspect that part of the
bridge built by the railroad
over the river. It is held up
by braces which project from the
side Of the railroad bridge. They
may have been all right for the traf-
fc when they were built. but in this
day of trucks and ct cetera a. hing
Lardner would say they may be in
sufficient. And then they may be all
right, but it would not cost much to
have the bridge looked over and a
fall from this bridge to the river
would be pretty good dip. The road
on the Greenwood side remains fine.

I do not purpose to write sketch
of William Wellington Daniel, but to
pay a brief tribute to him, and Ihave
mentioned the members of the class
to recall other days when the boys
were young and full of hope and am
bition, and it has seemed to me that
the boys of those days had more am
bition to do things worth while, but
it may have been that it was because
the number was less and we knew
them better and watched them closer.
Will Daniel like his brother Walter
became not only a great preacher but
a great educator and also a great stu
dent and was most lovable man.
There were three of these brothers
who were Methodist preachers and all
of them stood at the top in the esti-
nation of the church as preachers
and as pious and devoted ministers.
Two, as I have stated, graduated
from Newberry and the younger, }.
L. Daniel, now the pastor of Central
Methodist at Newberry, graduated at
Wofford, and as I have said all OF
them took high ranks in the councils
of their church. AS we were going
over to the funeral of Will Daniel,
that is Jone Daniel and my
self, j think he paid his bro.
ther Will the highest compli-
.ment and tribute tat could be
paid to any man, and it was done in
a few very simple words, and not for
publication, but it expresses my own
opinion of Will Daniel so, truly that
will just quote what he said. "Willie
was the best man / ever knew" That
was all, and it expresses it fully and
more strongly than column of
words. To be asgood man and a low
ing husband and a kind father and
devoted son, and Joe mentioned sew
eral things that he knew that Will
had done not before men, but as pure
acts of loving kindness which demon
strated the character of the man so
truly. For thirty-eight' years he was
in our family and,I saw good deal of
him, not as much as would have
liked or as should have seen, but he
was always the same kind and
thoughtful and gentle man whom we
all loved, firm in his conviction for
the things that were right, but consid-
crate of the opinions of others.

ple in the interest Of the school IN
communities like these, where you
can feelsand know that your work IS
appreciated, and that you are not ac-
cused of all sorts Of wrong motives
when you are simply working for the
good of the children, and where the
people are all ready and willing and
anxious to work together with you
for the betterment of the school and
the community. And you can feel
that you are accomplishing some
thing. I love to do things worth
while. I never tire when 1 can see
results, but you can't do much when

MANY of the schools are opening
this week, and many more will open
next week. In fact I hope to see all
of them moving along nicely by the
first week in October. Silverstreet
had a formal opening on Friday. l
regret that I could not be there, but
having been unavoidably out OF the
county for two days during the week
it was almost impossible to get away,
certainly not without neglecting some
things that needed attention in the
office. l understand that everything
moved off nicely, and l sincerely
trust that we may have fine school
here this session. If everything does
get to moving we'll there is just as
fine opportunity to establish a high
school at this place as there is at Po-
maria, and the opportunity is better.
There are several schools near by
that could furnish the children for the
high school, but it takes cooperation
and everlasting team work to do any
thing.

There is more malpractice. moro criminalty.

feshonal ethics than was ever hid behind any
other smoke screen invented by man.
This Is apropos OF tho action OF the Tulsa
county medical society a recent occasion. At
that tImo an amendment to the constitution
Of the organization was offered which was to
be voted on at the next meeting OF the
citation. This amendment reads AS follows
to-wlt:
Resolved: That II win be unethcal for
any member OF the Tulsa County Medical
society TO carry any professional card in

law will subtcct the offender to expulsion

Naturally one wonders at the state OF mind
