would also. But if not convenient
we will have to keep going. do not
want any big dinners prepared that
will cause US to lose any time, be-
cause while Miss Thomas is in the
county l want her to visit as many
communities as is possible, because
another year Newberry county must
get bigger share of the state prizes,
and in order to do SO we must get
busy and remain busy and while we
are getting prizes we will also be
helping to build up our own commun-
ties and our schools.
I spent the day in Columbia on
Tuesday and had very pleasant and
hope profitable interview with State
Superintendent Swcaringen. Mr.. W.
A. Counts from Little Mountain went
along and went with me to see the
state superintendent of education
that we might talk over the situation
at Little Mountain.
The road from Little Mountain
down to Chaplin is now the best part
of the road from Newberry to Colum-
oia, but from Chaplin to Wateree
Creek it is worse than I have even
seen it. The new road down to Bal
lentine has not yet been completed
and the road from Newberry to Pros
perity is still under the hands of the
contractor, but the work is getting
along mighty fine and we will have
a good road soon. The part of the
road that has been accepted by the
state from Prosperity to Little Noun
tain needs some attention in several
places and that attention should be
given at once. l was under the I'M
preston that the contract had been
ilet to some one to keep this road IN
repair, and if so the man should be
on his job. No use to build a road
unless you maintain it because it will
soon go to the bad if left alone. They
are now working on the Broad river
road out from Columbia and it cer'
tainly has needed something for a
long time. was told that Richland
was going to build cement road for
ten miles out this way, and then some
one said that the cement road was to
come on to the Lexington line, and
some one said it was to come only to
the Broad river bridge. Well, that
is the sort of road they are building
and the work is now almost TO the
Seaboard crossing on this road.

We will spend the day at Whit
mire and Miss Thomas will address
the teachers at teachers association.
And, by the way, Mr.. Swearingen has
promised to be with US at this meet
ing if it is possible for him to get
there. And / would be glad to have
as many Of the trustees present as
can make it convenient. This is the
last teachers meeting for the school
year and Whitmire folk will make it
the greatest. Be sure to attend.
This is-a very strenuous campaign,
and yet there are a number of very
live schools that We have been un-
able to get in the list. We hope to
have Miss Thomas for another day or
two the following week so that we
may take in Chappells and Trinity
and Dominick and Burton and Dead
fall and Utopa and all the others. l
hope the ladies of the community in
each of the districts named here in
itinerary will meet US at the school
house promptly at the hour named,
even if the school has closed for the
year. Miss Thomas is anxious to
a. 800 the community spirit and get
the community work organized.
Of course it would be mighty nice
if some of the ladies along the way
could, without any great inconveni-
ence to themselves, provide a little
lunch for Miss Thomas along about
the noon hour, and 1 would greatly
appreciate it and feel sure she

the Maxim-yickers "pom-pom" gun on

held It in place had just been screwed
tight when clear and shrill over the
tops of the Jungle and across the still
surface of the little bay there foated
to McGufey's ears the single word:

It was fully half ar hour before poor
McGuffey could pull himself together.
