We notice from the papers that
Congressman Dominick and Senator
Dial are the only two of the represen-
tatives in Washington from South
Carolina who are opposed to the Don-
us bill. We must say that to our way
of thinking and seeing they are the
two who are right in their position.
The boys were injured should be
taken care of and given whatever is
necessary for their comfort, but the
boys who went and came back in good
and sound health do not care to be
benefciaries of the government III
this wey, we should think. The ex-
perience was worth a great deal TO
them. And besides the amount each
one would receive from the bonus,
should it pass, would be very small,
the largest being less than thous-
and dollars.

not Shelton as we understand that
Strothers is the place on the river at
which the Ashford ferry road reaches
the river.
Personally we do not know any
thing about the crossings at the river
and so far as we recall never crossed
the river at any one of them except
once great many years ago we came
from some point on that side to New
berry when the railroad tracks had
been washed up from a freshet anG
we. think it was Strothers at which
we crossed. Mr.. j. D. Wheeler, the
present clerk of court, says that he
was the ferrynlan at the time the
party returning from a Lutheran sy-
nod in Knoxville came that way in
order to get home, being met in bug
gies at the river. In the party were
Dr.. G. W Holland, DR.. Go. B. Gro
mer, Captain H. H. Folk and the wri-
ter and may be some others.
At any rate we must have had in
mind Strothers and not Shelton when
we wrote the story about the exten-
sion of roads.
And the omission was the road
from NeWberrv out to Bush River
church, or rather we should say, out to
Tranwood school house on the road to
Capt. E. P. Matthews. 1t was decided
to build out this road at least five
miles.
We have asked some of our good
Baptist friends out at Bush River how
it was they had the largest and most
fourishing rural congregation posi-
bly, in the state, and how they could
endure to put up with the worst roads
in the state. Why, in weather like we
are now having it is almost impossi-
bic to get to the church from any dl-
rection in any way except on loot or
on horse back and that would be
difficult.
We desire to commend the pro-
gram outlined by the highway COM
mission for the extension of the high
ways of Newberry and hope they may
soon have the extensions built, be-
cause then, as we have said, New5erry
would have fine system of highways
permeating almost every nook CT the
county and certainly within easy
reach of all the people of the county.

crate their schools for the term they
expect to run them. 1t is not prob
able that much more tax will be paid
until after the schools have closed Tor
this term. 1t will be easy to calculate
the amount Of the special tax yet un-
collected by taking the difference be-
tween the total taxable property IN
each district and the amount paid on
and multiplying by the levy in the
district. In one district only five tax
payers have paid. And in several OF
them not much over twenty per cent
of the tax has been paid.
That tax will be paid some time,
but just now teachers and trustees
and patrons and all others must work
together to keep the school going.

The statement Of the financial con-
dition of the various school districts
takes up good deal more space than
I thought it would when decided to
publish it in this column, but it is in
formation that will possibly be of in
terest to all the people, and then l
will use the paper to give the infor-
nation to the trustees by subscribing
for a paper for each one and also a
subscription for each teacher and that
will be cheaper than making out and
mailing statement to each trustee.
wnat to make it clear that the
statement includes the amount actu-
ally paid of the special tax up to the
10th of February, and represents 60
per cent of the apportionment of the
three mills tax and all the polls and
dogs that had been paid up to that
time. And the expenditure represents
only the amount actually paid to
teachers up to the 10th. And does not
include any state aid except the term
extension money which has been re-
ceived. 1t will be matter of easy
calculation for the trustees to see how
much more money it will take to o2-

districts that showed balance. And
some taxes have been paid.
I am asking the trustees and the
teachers to meet at the court house
next Saturday, February Is at II
o'clock so that we may discuss the fin
ances and determine what we shall do.
By that time the joint resolution of
Representative Blease will no doubt
be through the legislature and we can
determine about how much money it
will be necessary to have in each dis
trict and make arrangement to get
it. Let every trustee and every teach
er attend this meeting. 1t is impor-
tant. We will meet in the court
house. This meeting will take the
place of the regular monthly meeting
of the teachers.
1t will be seen that the total.over-
draft in the nineteen districts is
s7,647.30, and the total balance in
the other districts is s39,846.98, leav-
ing a balance to the credit of the
school fund as of February 10 OF
S26,219.68. This amount will not
pay the loan already made.
But we have nineteen schools that
qualify as rural graded schools and
their applications have been approved
for a total of S4700 and the state has
not failed to provide for these in the
appropriation bill since the passage
of the law, and will not this year. The
following are the schools that have
their claims approved for rural grad
ed school aid: Bethel-Garmany,
Hartford, St. Lukes, O'Neall, Monti-
cello, Fairview, Midway, St. Phillips,
Rutherford, New Hope-Zion, Vince
land, Jolly Street, Chappells, Reeder-
vile, Bush River, Smyrna, Trinity,
Jalapa, Silverstreet. Then Newber-
ry, Little Mountain, Prosperity, Whit
mire and Pomaria have qualified for
state high school aid.

Clarence Poe looks just like he did
some fifteen years or more ago when
he addressed the State Press assocla-
ton. He says it was at the meeting
at Check Springs in 1908. We do not
recall the date but it seemed to US
it was further back than then.
He made fine talk to the farmers
in the court house on Monday. Sorry
we could not hear him throughout but
being press day we had to be out
There was the largest crowd we have
seen at any meeting of farmers IN a
good many moons.
Cooperative marketing is all right,
and no doubt a good thing, but the
first thing the farmer in this section
of the country must do is to reach
the point where the cotton is his when
he makes it, and where he does not
owe for it even before he grows it.
He can then market it as he pleases.
All of US farmers should start out
this wear with the determination to
make all we need for the farm on the
farm, and then what cotton we can
grow will be ours and we can market
it comparatively if We desire.
We are ready and willing and anX-
ious to assist the farmer in any way
that we may be able, and if coopera-
tive marketing is good thing they
should adopt it.

OLD TIMES RECALLED

In reading the comments on the
Sunday school lesson for last Sunday
as made by J. E. w. in the Anderson
Mail, it carried US back to the days
when we were on the farm just as de-
scribed by J. E. W. The lesson, as all
Sunday school children will recall was
on Elisha and the Shunammite woman
and the death of her son and the
bringing back to life of the boy. We
take it that J. E. w. who writes these
comments is none other than DR.. J. E.
White, though we do not know.
At any rate, he says it was harvest
time when the incident took place as
recorded in Kings, and that harvest
time is now and was then hot time
of the year, and that the boy had
been out in the field with the reap
ers, and the boy was to carry the wa
ter to the reapers and he complained
of his head and no doubt had sum
stroke, but here is a sentence, or The
paragraph that we are after quoting
now, and while it has not so much to
do with the lesson taugh, yet it brings
to our attention some Of the things
that we have been thinking about and
occasionally daring to write about.
J. E. W. says: Nowadays what with
selfbinders and the like, harvesting is
much simplihed, but there are yet ma
ny who will remember in their own
boyhood days on the farm the old
grain cradle, or the reaping machines,
when all the binding was done by
hand. 1t was a boys job to carry
the water. A boy with whom the
writer has always been on the most
familiar terms, and whom he recalls
now, used big brown jug, which was
about all he could carry when filed
with water. He would fill it at the
spring and carry it to the thirsty men
in the field, all cool and dripping.
They would turn it over their shtuI-
der with a twist which he envied and
drink out Of the mouth of it, while
the water made peculiar gurgle,
gurgle, and was apt to run down their
hot breasts. There was no such thing
as individual drinking cups then, but
if any of those men ever died from
any germs on the mouth of that
brown jug l never heard of it.
1t may be that there were not as
many germs then as there are now,
or it may be if those men had had
Individual cups they might have lived
to be twice as old as they did. We
are inclined to the opinion that IN
those good and happy old days the
germs had not yet been discovered,
and therefore there was no fear OF
them and the school children as well
as the men of the fields drank from
the same jug and the same gourd at
the spring, and many times bent down
and used their own lips for jugs and
gourds taking the water from the
spring itself. Sometimes we are OF
the opinion that the human plant is
TOO tenderly nursed from the cradle
up to develop into a strong and vlrlle
and vigorous and healthy tree.

we copy from the Greenwood Index
Journal and written by the editor OF
the Piedmont. We make this explain
alton for the reason that we do not
see the Piedmont. The subject ls'
"Well Done, Senators" and we want
you to read it for yourself. Those
who are old enough to remember
campaign III this county some sixteen
wears ago will recall that it atfirms the
position we took then and there has
been no legislation to change the con-
stitution Of the state since that time
in this regard.
Permit US to quote few para
graphs from this editorial:
"This may seem an unimportant
matter, but it is not. 1t recognizes
and lays down a sound principle IN
state legislation which is that mem
bers of the general assembly should
not hold two Offices, that a legislator
ought not to serve as trustee OF a
state institution"
And then the Piedmont adds this
paragraph:
"This principle is simply reaffir-
nation of the requirement of the con-
stitution of South Carolina that no
person shall at the same time hold
two Offices in this state"
And then this paragraph:
$50 far as the Piedmont is inform
ed this is the first time that either
branch of the legislature has recog-
nized that clause in the state consti-
tuition and voted to obey it. No other
provision in the organic law OF the
state has been more frequently ignor-
ed and violated"
Some years ago it seems to US the
senate appointed committee to look
into this matter and the report was
there was no violation of the law to
be senator and trustee at the same
tine.
And here is another paragraph
from the Piedmont editorial, and tn, S
is really one of the main reasons
why a legislator should not at the
same time be trustee Of any lnstl-
tuition about which there is probab-
iiity that there will be legislation, and
there is always something in regard
to the various institutions:
"Here is one vice of the practice
of electing members of the legIsla-
ture as trustees of state institutions.
The people of the county elect their
members of the general assembly to
represent them-and them alone.
When, however, legislator is elected
trustee of a state institution, he is
committed to the proposition that ne
sh Il also represent it-and there
may be conflict of interests. How
will he vote? Whose interest will
he defend?
''No legislator should be trustee
of the University of South Carolina
or any other state institution
But how many are there that are
acting in both capacities, and they
are going to continue to act despite
this resolution of the senate.
We are making no comment but
simply calling attention to this resolu-
ton in that it vindicates the position
we took some years ago. But the or
ganic law will continue to be violated
because there are too many members
of the legislature acting in the dual
capacity. And many of them have
not been commissioned, thinking in
this way to get around this constitu-
tional provision.
