r TERE is a book for all seasons of
the year. The author wrote it
for those who are in the spring
of life, but if one refuses to recognize
any signs of winter in himself and isn't
an incurable house person he will find
something here. OF course Boy Scouts,
scoutmasters and all that tribe don't
need to be told anything about the
value of Seton's books.
There is a personal tone in the
Mother Carey" tales, as the author
calls them. For he is a story teller,
and has tried everything on a living
audience before letting it be printed
in a book He has mixed up the
mythology of the woods as primitive
peoples create it with his own obser-
vation. Some chapters are almost in
the fairy tale class, with a sure fire
appeal to children of six and upward.
Others are very practical, such as
Things to Do"
An ingenious boy can learn here
how to make bird boxes and hunters
lamps and how to take smoke prints OF
leaves.
The sections are headed: Things TO
See in Springtime in Summertime: in
Autumntime; in Wintertime.' Here
are also Things to Know and
Things to Remember"
Mr. Seton has been making this book
all his life. since he uses material re-
membered from his own schooldays.
But one of the stories, why the
Chickadee Goes Crazy Twice a Year."
was published in a magazine as long
ago as 1898. Other chapters appeared
recently in THE SUN
Here is a part of the chapter on a
Joyous carpenter and mason
THE robin invented pottery ue-
fore men did; his nest is always a
clay pot set in a little pile of straws.
Some time get a robins nest after
the bird is done with it; dry it well,
put it on the fire very gently; leave
il till all the straws are burned away,
and then If it does not go to pieces
you will find you have a pretty good
oarthen pot
"The robin loves to make these
pots. have known a cock robin
make several which he did not need,
just for the fun of making them.
A friend of mine once said to lie.
Come. and | will show you the nest

woodshed, and there on a beam were
six perfectly good robin nests, all in
"a row and all of them empty.

lev are becoming convinced of the
claim of Dr.. w. Thomas Reynolds
rector of Trinity Episcopal church,
that it is possible to heal the Sick, en-
able the lame to walk and the blind
to see through prayer and the laying
on of hands. The prayer circle and
healing clinic was esta ablished in Trim

fame spreading throughout Western
Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
Making no claims Of personal pow

nothing in common with Christian
Science, DR.. Reynolds declares that
1T is but the revival of the power
that has always been in the Christian
church since it's inception nearly
1000 years ago.
Hundreds of persons are openly
testifying to benefits which they say
they have received as result of en-
tering the healing clinic with faith
and prayer.

NEWS FRESH FROM
THE NEAR EAST RELIEF

Mr.. Brook Anderson, whose home is
in Richmond, Va, and who has been
visiting in South Carolina, is just
back from the Near East. He tells the
following about the work that the
Near East relief is doing for the little
children in the Near East.
''The work of the Near East relief
is magnificent" he says. "The work
ers, women as we'll as men, are under
fire for months at time and under
90 wartime hardships with equal rlsks.
Not only do they risk their own lives
while at their relief work, but many
come home broken in health. Among
the Near East relief missionaries Mr..
Anderson mentioned Mrs. Richard
Mansfield, wife of the noted Shakes
pearean actor. Mrs. Mansfield was
under fire for three months near
Marash, helping the Armenians, and
she was in charge for time of the
orphanage for Syrian children in Je-
rusalem during the time Mr.. Ander-
son was in that city.
After General Willie Jones, state
chairman for Near, East relief in
South Carolina, had heard the above
story, he said that he did not see how
any person on this side of the Allan
tic ocean could hold back on giving
their funds to- such a worthy cause:
Haven't we. any confidence in these
workers that Mr.. Anderson has just
told US about2 If they are willing to
give up all pleasures and make such
a big sacrifice, are we not willing to
help them by sending funds and cloth
ing over to these countries in order
that their job will be made a little
easier?
South Carolina is asked to care for
$500 of these little children. 1t
costs $4,000 to- feed a child one year,
There is yet much to be done before
we have come up to what is expected
of us. Are we willing to pass this op-
portunity up and let these kiddies
starve, or are we going to rally to
their assistance? My opinion is that
we will not let them suffer for any
thing that we can give them.

The teachers held the last meeting
of the school year at Whiamlre on
Saturadv. 1t was a fine meeting.
There were two or three disappolnt-
ments but they could not be helped.
l had hoped to have more teachers
present at the meeting but owing to
the fact that good many of the
schools are closing, and in several of
them there were picnics on Saturday,
of course we could not expect the
teachers from these schools. Then
we were disappointed in that Mr..
Swearingen could not be with US.
There must have been some misunder-
standing because | have. not heard
from him at all and he is always very
sprompt in filling engagements, and l
am sure if there were not mlsunder-
standing, or something happened that
prevented his coming, he would have
been present. Then we expected to
have Miss Matte Thomas of the state
department of education but she was
. taken i'll while with me during the
week and had to return to Columbia
and is now in the hospital, though l
understand doing very well, and she
promises to finish her visit with me
some time in the future.
But we had a fine meeting and the
attendance was very good. And there
were number of teachers and sew
eral trustees present and | am sure
all of them enjoyed the meeting and
, the visit to this fine community and
the excellent dinner that was served.
The fact is when President Child and
| Vice-President w. NJ. Sherard and
the Watsons of the Glen-Lowry mill
and the other good people Of this fine
community undertake to do any
thing they do ii right, because 1hey
know how and they never do anything
except it be done well. We met IN
the handsome school building and q
warm and cordial address Of wei
come was extended by Mr.. Sherarc
and every one was in fine spirit anc
the day was all that could be expect
ed as to weather and the roads were
not near so bad as they have been.

We understand that the road
builders have rented one of the ware
houses from Mr.. G. ". Summer at
the railroad crossing and will keep
their supplies in it. 1t might be that
the farmers who have corn and hay to
sell, if there be any such, and there
should be, could make an arrange
ment with these folk to take what
ever they might have at the market
price. and in this way it would help
the road builders and at the same
time give the farmer market for his
produce and keep a whole lot Of the
bond money right here at home.
1t does sometime happen that you
see farmers wagon going out of
town loaded with hay and corn. And
on last Saturday the town was filed
with wagons and a lot of people were
here. Some one said that they had
come to town from the country to
get rations, and a lot of them went
away with the very things they should
have grown on the farm. And this
country will never be prosperous ike
it should ibe so long as this custom
continues. You can not grow cotton
at present prices and buy the corn
and hay and other things you need to
live on and make any money. The
farmer who elects to he hard up all
the time and worried about what he
is going to do may be willing to keep
up that policy but the wise man is
going to provide for his own on his
own farm and then grow all the cot
ton he cap regardless of the price,
and he is the fellow who is going 10

and not be hard up and begging some
one to furnish him ESQ that he may

a reflection upon the railroad commits
sion that they would permit the rail
roads to increase rates and not insist
that the railroads at least make it
decently comfortable for the people
from whom they make their money
and who patronize the roads. Why
a railroad commission any how?
What are they for? We invited the
commission to come over to Dyson
some time ago, even before they had
the present shed that is there built,
but they needed US not, and we sup
pose we will meet the same fate this
time, but we would be mighty glad to
60 over that side with the commission
and talk to them about this depot that
the people of Dyson should have.
But may be the commission is too
busy increasing telephone and rail-
road rates to take up so important a
matter as a little accommodation for
the people who are called upon to
paw these increased rates. The fact
is the people as a rule do not mind
paying for anything when they can
get it, but it is little hard some
times to keep on having the price in
creased and the service decreased.
That's where the rub comes.

That was big toll we paid on the
new road even before it is complet-
ed. Two deaths at time is going
pretty fast.
About the only thing to do is to
have a police patrol put on the road
ito save the travellers from themselves.
A little less reckless driving probably
would nave avoided the accident and
saved two lives. The way some of the
drivers speed up on these good roads
the wonder is that there are so few
serious accidents. The same after
noon of this terrible accident we had
occasion to go to Prosperity and that
road is not yet finished, but the speed
ing of the cars we met made it really
dangerous for even careful and slow
driver to travel the road. You look
out ahead and you see something
coming and before you can draw a
long breath you hear sound, zip
and when you look again there ''ain't
nothing" there. It's gone. And the
state law requires all drivers of cars
to slow down when meeting other
cars. But who cares about law in
this day? Ceratinly not the great ma
jority of drivers of cars. And many
of them do not even give you small
part of the road. We do not know
how it is when two of kind meet
one another.

Speaking about roads | am inform
ed that the road force is now camped
out on the Chappells road, and that
there are several hundred men and
about as many mules in the camp,
and that the work of construction OF
this road is to begin this week. 1T
should not take so long to build it.
Though in many places it will be en-
tirely relocated, and that the en-
gineers find it the right thing to cut
down the big shade trees all along
and to go in the rear of many of the
homes along the. way. That IS bad
in a way, but it may be better for the
people who own the homes not to
have one of these roads right in front
of their homes. 1t will necessitate
the keeping up of roads to get TO the
homes from the main road, but # we
can get good road in easy reach we
can stand little inconvenience. And
certainly there is great need of some
sort of road between Newberry and
.Chappells and also between Newberry
and Whitnnire. A route to Whltmlre
has not been determined, but under
stand will be at the meeting of the
highway commission early this week,
and may be before this is prlr'.ed.
About three routes have been sur
veyed to Whitmire.
