GIVING CREDIT TO RAILROADS.

In another column we give space 20
rather remarkable article. II IS
worthy of attentive consideration, and
it is refreshing to read such an artl-
Gle, all the more striking from the
fact that it is the honest opinion Of
ore who is far removed from railroad
or other corporate influence, but wno
sees the injustice and unfairness Of
many people in regard to the rail
roads. Such articles can not fail IN
creating more favorable sentiment
towards the railroads IN the eyes Of
..lc public. The railroads owe
debt of gratitude to the writer of The
article for much abused institution

We commend the supreme court
for requiring the lawyers to conform
to the rule of court as to dress. This
neglect on the part of these lawyers
is but symptom of the times which
is to lose respect ard regard for the
courts and everything else. In the
good old days the lawyers of that time
would never have thought of entering
the court room in any other garb than
that prescribed by rule of court. If
some of our circuit judges were lit
tie more insistent in the observance
of these rules there would be greater
respect for the court and for law and
order. Too much familiarity is bad,
and it is one of the evils Of the day.
There is much more in the observance
of these old rules and regulations
than one would sometimes imagine.
They sorter keep in the minds Of
the young a higher regard for the
constituted authority and a greater
respect for the courts.

1921 Christmas Seal Sale, the South
Carolina tuberculosis association has
completed strong organization for
the annual campaign to make pennies
fight tuberculosis.
Mr.. Black is we'll known and has
large following of friends through
out the state lie has upon many oc-
casions displayed his public spirit in
Columbia and Richland county and
willingly accepted the opportunity to
extend that spirit into the four cor
iners cf the state to help eliminate
one Of its worst menaces. He is pres
ident of the Standard Building and
Loan association, one of the largest
institutions of its kind in the state
and is president of the Columbia
chamber of commerce.
The vice-chairmen of the campaign
are J. Nelson Frierson, president of
the South Carolina tuberculosis as
sociation and dean of the law school
cf the University of South Carolina,
and John P. Thomas, Jr., attorney Of
Columbia, whose work as president OF
the R:chland Anti-Tuoerculosis asso-
citation has done great deal toward
controlling the spread of tunerculo-
sis in Richland county. Miss Chaun-
ccy Blackburn, executive secretary OF
the state association, is acting in the
san.e capacity for the campaign. A.
S. Manning, president of the Liberty
National bank, Columbia, is campaign
treasurer.
The Rev. Hugh NJ. Hutchinson, bus
mess manager of the Presbyterian
Theological seminary, Columbia, has
accepted the position of campaign
director. Mr.. Murchison's services
were loaned by the seminary in order
that he might engage in a work in
which he has always been deeply in
terested, that Of fighting the white
plague. Having been pastor of num-
erous churches in different parts OF
j the state Mr.. Murchison has host

Speaking Of the road to Mayblnton
reminds me to say that while the road
on the far side Of the Enoree IS fine,
the road from the thirteen mile post
on to the Caldwell highway is in bad
fix in many places, and could be so
easily repaired the wonder is that
some of the good folk down that size
don't take of day or two ard put
it in good shape. 1t would take very
little CT their time to fill the big holes
along the way, and then there would
be a fine road all the way to May

of the road is fine but the big holes
across the road, some of them axle
deep, spoil the good effect of the road

On Thursday morning cur first stop
was at St. Philips at 9 O'Clock. We
had visited this association in the
spring when Miss Thomas was here.
They also have very live and active
association here and have been doing
excellent work for several years.
There was no one present, but we had
the opportunity Of a brief visit to the
school. The additional rooms which
have been added to the building make
it much more comfortable for the
teaching, and a great Improvement
has been made in the auditorium by
setting the stage back over the new
rooas and thus giving much more
space in the auditorium. Mr.. Clar-
ence Lominick is the principal at st.
Phillips and Misses Lottye Lee Halt
acre, Sailie Lee Crcn1er and Lula
Lomin;ck assistants, and the enrol
ment is around 120 and the average
attendance is excellent.

Our next stop was at Rutherford.
This is a two teacher school with Miss
Marie Sease as~principal and Miss
Lois Long assistant. This district was
one of the first in Newberry county to
vote special tax and was at oae time
a special district and they maintained
here for several years most excel
lent school. Mr.. Thos. W. Keitt, a
citizen of this community, and for
number of years of the faculty OF
Clemson college, but who has again
returned to his fine plantation, was
one Of the first teachers, if not the
first, cf this school when the district
was made g special tax district, and
for q number of years there was as
fine school here as there was in the
state. Then part of the district was
cut off and the special act was re-
pealed and the school was not near so
strong as it had been But during
the past two years an eight mills tax
has been levied and the school spirit
IS being revived ard the outlook at
present is very encouraging. Mr..
Xeitt has nc children in school now,
but he has rot lost his interest in ed
ucation and the rural schools, and
was keenly interested in the voting
of the special eight mills tax 50 as to
assure a seven months term for the
school of his community. The
school building is neat and prim and
the children seemed to be happy that
we had made them a visit. We organ
lied community association and the
following officers were elected: Mrs.

Betnel-Garmany at o'clock and
whei we arrived there were quite
number of the ladies present. 1t was
the meeting day for the association
and they elected officers and attended
to some other matters, and Miss
Thomas gave them words of COM
mendation and encouragement. This
is one of the livest associations in the
state and secured one CT the two state
prizes last year. This association has
done a whole lot of good work for
this school, bought a piano, put in a
lighting system and many other good
thirgs, and each school district can do
the same things il the proper amount
of interest and enthusiasm can be
aroused.

would like to call the attention Of
trustees and teachers to the follow
ing section of the school law: "Sec.
of Public Schools to
Observe Arbor Day-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 and teachers shall
conduct 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
appreciation to be placed on flowers,
ornamental shrubbery and shade
trees" You Will rote that the word
ing of this section of the law is man
datory. 1t says "shalP' and not may
observe this day, and l think it is a
good law and ! hope that the trustees
and teachers will conform their exer-
icises to the law. A great many OF
cur school grounds could be greatly
Improved, and if the children were
impressed with the Importance Of
this and given a par. in the beautify-
ing it would be a good lesson to them.
Nothing will add more to the attrac-
t;veress Of the school than beauti-
full lawn and nice shade trees. And we
should all take pride in beautifying
our school grounds. It is an impor-
tant part of the education Of the
child. Let him help to make his school
home attractive and when he sets up
his own home he Will take more in
terest in making it attractive.

We drove across to Maybinton.
This is a one teacher school but l
wanted Mss Thomas to see this his
toric section of Newberry county, and
l felt that the good people over here
would appreciate visit from her, and
| am sure they did. Mr.. J. 3. Rich
ards and Mr.. 4. H. Maybin of the
trustees were present and quite a
number of the ladies of the commun-
ity and we had a good meeting with
them. They decided that they want
cd to organize and work for the i'm
provement of the school and so we
organized an ASSOCIATION with the fol-
lowing officers: Mrs. A. H. May5in
president; Mrs. a. B. Settler. vice
president; Miss L. B. Whitney secre-
tary; Miss Pearl Thomas treasurer;
Miss Isabel Crawford chairman pro-
gram committee: Miss Lille Maybin
chairman social committee; Miss Nam
ME Bell Eison chairman membership
committee. This is a small school,
but large district ir area, being cut
off on either side by the Enoree and
Tiger rivers. 1t is a historic place
and in the days gone was the nome
of the wealthy and the educated. The
main thing that we need over here
is some more good white citizens,
There is a fine road now from the
Enorce all the way up to Maybintoa,
the site Of the town Of the old days.
The chaingang relocated and built a
fine wide road from the river on 70
the town. And as we were there
about the noon hour the gccd women
of the community had thought for the
physical man and spread fine picnic
dinner and we enjoyed it very much
and wish to thank them for their
thoughtful kindness.

l am a little slow in getting the

the community organizations, but l
desire to keep at it until I have men
toned each visit made. / am pleased
to know that several of the assocla-

going to be the result for the improve
ment Of the communities ard the
schools. As l have said SO many times
you can not do anything worth, while
until you get up some enthusiasm.

on eli the while if the engine is gong

After we left Little Mountain on
Wednesday our next stop was at llid-

the spirit is fine and much good work
fer the school has already been done
by the good women of the community
