The people are waking up. They
are beginning to realize the impcr-
tance to any community of good
school and the value Of education
and the necessity to improve the ru-
raj schools, and they are getting away
from the idea that they must move to
town to educate their children. They
know, too, to build up the rural dis
tricts that it is necessary to build
good schools, and they are coming to
realize that tax for schools is Sim
ply another and an easier and more
equitable way Of paying the tuition
of their children, and they do not
object to this tax. If they had to pay
tuition to pay the salary Of the teach
er it would be much more than the
tax. The big problem before the cen
tury is the proper education OF the
children, and especially the children
of the rural districts. Ny slogan is a
good high school within reach Of ev-
cry child in Newberry county, and [
do not want to see the high schools
in the towns and cities Only, but in
the rural communities. The towns and
cities can take and are taking, care
of the education Of their children.

mysterious tragedy that stirred the
state eleven years ago when Mrs.
Ruth Crisp Bigham, wife of DR.. G.
C. Bigham, was killed IN Georgetown
county. DR.. Bigham, who IS mention
as one of the surviving brothers in
the Bigham family now, was tried and
convicted of the killing OF his wife,
the trial attracting very widespread
interest. His. wife was a native of
Mountvillue, the daughter of a promi-
nent family there, and had been mar
ried to Bigham only a few months
when the tragedy occurred. The dis
patches state that his whereabouts
are unknown, as he skipped his bond,
pending new trial, and has never
been apprehended. 1t may be that
the recent tragedy is an outcome Of
the first as it is reported that the
Bigham property was made over. to
one member Of the family not on the
bond of DR.. Bigham, presumably to
escape payment This is thought to
have given rise to the recent; dis
turbance.

I also read letter from Commis-
sioner, P. P. Claxton of the federal
department Of education offering to
send Miss Martha D. Dinwiddie, ore
of the bureaus specialists in health
education, to our next meeting, and
she will be asked to come. She is CIV
ing special attention to the promotion
Of health education in rural schools
and small towns. We will be glad to
have Miss Dinwiddie with US. The
next meeting will be held on the
fourth Saturday in February.
A resolution was adopted that it is
the sense Of the teachers of the cou2-
ty that it would'be unwise to abolish
the office Of attendance officer, and
that its abolition would practically
nullify the compulsory attendance
law.

NEWBERRY DOWNS
COLLEGE TEAM

Charleston American, 22nd.
The Newberry Indians were. On the
warpath last night and they scalped
the College of Charleston basketball
five for total of "a points. The best
that the college warriors could DO
during the entire melee was to score
two field goals and four free tosses.
The first half ended with the score
IT to s for Newberry, the college not
having scored field goal.
The score does rot in any way IN
dicate the fighting and closeness that
featured the game. The playing was
fast at all time, and in certain places
it was what the girls termed "furl-
GUS"
The scoring star Of the game was
Thomas, the Lutherans' right for
ward. Thomas is not what might In
any way be termed an individual
player, he is all over the court, and
when he gets the ball passes it to the
best man in sight. He rung IN SIX
field goals, several CT which were dlf-
fcult ones, and also secured free
toss. azakRN
McPhee, at centre for Newberry,
was the aggressive star of the game.
His work, both on defense and Of
tense, was good, and it was he who
tossed the first basket of the game:
Newberry's passing was too much Ter
the Maroon and White and from the
first few minutes it was evident that
their superiority at this point Of the
game would win for them.
Guyton was the colleges star. This
long center, while he did not figure IN
the scoring, time and again broke up
the Indians passing. He fed the ball
to his forwards innumerable times,
but Newberry guard was always on
hand to stop the probable goal.
John Haymaker played a good
game. He and Rivers were the only
College men to toss field goals. Hay
maker also scored four free tosses OF

Money for the Schools

The sentiment of legislators and
people seems strongly in favor Of the
money necessary TO run the schools,
and there seems very little doubt that
the legislature VIII make ample pro-
vision to carry cut the various laws
relating to the maintenance OF the
schools, thaS is the: common schools,
anl a plenty for the colleges also,
though may be not all they are asking
for. The manner in which the people
have voted extra taxes for the main
tenance of the schools would indicate
that they favored the proposition for
state aid, and sufficient sum to meet
the condition laid down. In our own
county, as / have said before, it. is
going to take around $4,000 from
the state to fulfil the conditions laid
down by state law, and which our
people have met by voting special
taxes to do so. We have already
claims approved for over $4,000,
which means that the districts have
met the conditions Of The various
acts, and it will take around $4,000
for the other claims which will be
filed, and which conditions of the acts
Of the legislature have been met by
The people and the schools. And these
do not include building aid and the
various agricultural schools or voca-
tional training, nor libraries, but SIM
ply for the maintenance of the
schools. If the legislature should Tor
any reason fail to keep faith with the
people, the schools Of the county, and
some among the best, would certainly
be demoralized, but can not con-
ceive< the legislature failing 10 pro-
vide for carrying out its own acts
when the people by voting additional
taxes have met the conditions. And so
the schools are just going right along
in the faith that the legislature is 60
ing to provide what it promised to
keep them going for seven months.

fdence and respect of all and that

of all without respect to class or con-
dit:on. Let US so regulate our laws
as to demonstrate that the humblest
of our citizens has the protection OF
this great commonwealth as has its
most influential member, by reason OF
his wealth or position. Only by such
prevailing impression and under
standing can there be inculcated IN
the minds cf the rank and file an
abiding faith in the supremacy OF

believe that it was the matter of
the attendance officer that was under
discussion, when Mr.. Hamblin made
his famous remark. If you abolish
this Office you had about as: we'll
abolish the attendance requirement.
The trustees will not do the job, and
the superintendent has about as much
as he can do without having this ad-
ditional duty. In a great many Of the
counties the superintendent of edu-
cation is about the poorest paid Off
Ger in the=county. This is true in New
berry. ALL the other officers are paid
more money, and as matter of fact.
the Office of county superintendent
is really the most important Office IN
the county. A man can not live en- the
salary and pay the other expenses
which he has to pay if he does his
duty for the children Of the county.
So far as I am concerned I will be
frank to say now that will not un-
dertake to enforce the compulsory
law if the legislature abolishes the
attendance officer and endeavors to
place it's duties upon the county sup
erintendent, because I know that
can not do it and at the same time
perform the others duties of the Office
as they should be, and will not un-
dertake any job unless think l can
do it as it should be done.

FINE MEETING TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION SATURDAY

That was splendid meeting we
had on Saturday. It seems to me to
have been the best have ever seen
"a Newbefry. The attendance was
fne, the court room on one entire: side
was about filed. The teachers seemed
interested and made the impression
on me that they came because they
wanted to be there, and to get all that
{ f1ley could that would be helpful from
the meeting. It is very gratifying to
STne TO see the interest that the teach
ers are taking in the work OF the
schools. True, it was a pretty day, and
that helped some no doubt. One OF
the good teachers wrote me a few
days before the meeting that she was
sorry She could not be- with Us, but
8 the roads from her school to Newber-
sry were just about beyond travel.
was glad she; was SO thoughtful as to
write. It shows that she was thinking
about the meeting and hoping to be
there and sorry she could not. Teach
ers were present from all sections.
Whitmire, though / am sorry that
more of them did not come, and Peak
and almost every section of the coun-
ty. Il IS very gratifying and helpful
sfo me to see this interest in the meet
ing. We all regretted that Prof. Gun
ter could not be with us, but when
received letter stating that he could
not come on account Of sickness /
Immediately went down to Columbia
and secured MIR. D. L. Lewis, the sup
ervisor of rursl schools, and he kind
II consented to be with us. He made
good talk that was full of thought
provoking suggestions and practical,
and / am satisfied that it, will result
in good for the children of the coun-
ty and helpfM to the teachers. 1t is
the kind of talks I like to hear at
meetings Of. this kind. Something that
has meat in it and that will make the
teacher think, more about the practl-
cal things that she has to do. And then
there was discussion Of the matters
about which he talked, and we could
have had more discussion, but prom
ised the teachers that I would call
time at IL o'clock, and that the meet
.ings would not last more than an
hour, and / expect to keep faith with
them. I know that Saturday is their
only day to come to town during the
school year, and they want to spend
some of the time shopping, and they
should be given the opportunity to
spend their money. Many of the
teachers came to town especially for
the meeting, because there We're not
a great many to be paid.

1 notice IN report of the proceed
,ings Of the legislature that Repressn-
tstive Hamblin, believe that he halls
from Union, in discussing some mat
ter pertaining to the schools made the
statement that as county superin-
tendeEks had to be elected in the pr
mary that they were all towards, or
words to that effect. We do not know
why he should select superintendent,
because he was elected in the prin1a-
ry, as were all the other officers OF the
counties and the state as well. But
then he may have been judging them
by himself. ] do not know about that,
but cannot help but feel that l can
vouch for at least one or two that
this statement does not apply to, If
he means to say they are afraid to
do their duty, and / also believe that
as a class they are not towards, poll
tically Or otherwise. They may Or may
not be working for reelection, but I
do know some; who had rather be de-
feated for having done something
worth while for the children and the
schools, than to be elected for having
done nothing. It does sometimes hap
pen that fellow will be. defeated be-
cause he has done something, but af-
ter all, the people viii N6ll give. him
credit for doing things.

And Twas also pleased to see quite
a number Of the trustees present and
would like to see more of them q: the
next meeting. I am always glad 70
have them ccne. It shows that they
are alive and want to be in position to
do the best for the schools and to dis
charge their trust properly. 1t is a
great thing for the success of any
school to have real live trustees. No
school can do it's best for the children
when the school trustees are dead
and take no interest in the school,. A
real live trustee can do a great deal
to make the school a success. He is
almost as important to a successful
school in, the community as a real
live teacher. j., 80.
