WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR NEWBERRY COLLEGE?

"Newberry College Wins in De-
! bate" was the message carried in biz
headlines by the dailies Throughout
the state on March oath. And agair
the fact is demonstrated to hel
friends that Newberry college is cap
able of holding Ler own, not only IL
the field Of athletics, but also on the
forum and in the literary field as
well.
| We wonder if there is citizen OF
Newberry whose bosom did not swell
with pride over Newberry's victory
! over the Presbyterian College OF
South Carolina and Wofford in the
triangle debate between the three in
stitutions.
{ We boast Of Newberry college as
"our college," and we are all proud
of the fine record she has made. But
what are we doing to show her that
we are with her and that she can
count on our support?
Several weeks ago friends of the
institution, in order to put athletics
at the college on a firm financial ba-
sis and at the same time pave the
way for the erection of much need
ed gymnasium, started drive to sell
500 athletics tickets in Newberry at
$1,000 per ticket. To date the COM
mittee has sold approximately 210
tickets. Are you satisfied with the
progress made? Are we supporting
this proposition as we should? Sup
pose the college were located in an
other city, would the citizens of that
city let the project fall through? We
believe not. Neither do we believe
that the citizens of Newberry are 60
ing to stand by and see the PROPOSE
tion fail.
The committee is still at work. If
any member of the committee fails
to canvas you before the baseball
game with the "Comers" next Friday
YOU may secure tickets at the gate.
Remember that the ticket will entitle
you to over $500 worth of athletics.
Pupils and children under Is years
old not pupils, may secure tickets at
$500.
Tickets may be secured at the New
Book store.

We want your help and cooperation
We have just as high regard TO,
the memory of the good and true
men mentioned by T. J. w. as he OF
any one else has, and we knew all OF
them personally, but so far as the
distance from Newberry to Pomaria
goes we do not think the difference
by the road mentioned by 7. J. w
and the road by st. Phillips and Cald,
we'll Ruf's is one mile in favor OF
either route. We have always under
stood that the road by St. Phillips
was just IA miles. Mr.. H. c. Hollo-
way said the other day that it is Is
miles, the same as claimed by T. j.
w. for the road by jolly Street, but
so far as that goes in this day one
mile in distance does not count for
much. We no longer measure dis
tance by miles, but by the time 1t
takes to go from one place to an
other.
No sir, we are not opposed to your
road, but on the contrary would be
delighted to see it built, and even if
it is not made into a top soil highway
the same as some of the ones tint
we have, you should certainly have
the road surveyed and relocated in
many places and some of the steep
grades taken out and the road bed
widened and then you could have 1t
the better kept up. With the utmost
respect and high regard for the good
men who laid out this road We all ad-
nit that it should have been better
located in many places, and instead
of going straight up and down the
hills, there should have been more
regard for the grades, and that the
road should be widened in many plac-
es. We favor good roads everywhere,
and they are coming much faster
IAN we dreamed even few years
ego. We shall always be glad to help
speed the day when every section and
every home of Newberry county will
be in easy reach of a good highway.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

o @ @ 9 @ @ @ 9 o o Q. o o O o o
At the call of the state superintend-
ent of education l attended meet
ing of county superintendents in Co.
lumbia on Tuesday evening and af-
ternoon to discuss with the state sup
erintendent the various laws passed
at the recent session of the legisla-
ture, and especially the various ap-
preparations giving state aid to the
schools. As already published New
berry county received all the term eX-
tension aid before Christmas and the
rural graded school aid was received
last week ard the high school aid will
be paid in full, Mr.. Swearingen an
ncunced, and that will be paid out
about the first of May or little lat
er. The appropriation for building
will not meet all the applications and
will have to be scaled just a little,
and we hope that the next legislature
VIII meet any deficiency that may oc-
cur. The vocational training will be
paid in full, and the money will come
some time in April. We have only
a few schools in this county that have
qualified for this aid. The guaran-
tee for the needy schools of seven
months term will be paid about the
last of May, Mr.. Swearingen thought,
and while he could not tell, of course,
vet he thought it would pay about so
per cent of what was needed to pay
in full. And the guarantee for over
crowding in the elementary depart
ment of high schools will probably
have to be scaled slightly, but he
could not tell exactly about that un-
til the applications were in. The ap-
preparation for the betterment Of ne
gro schools will give around so per
ctnt of what the negroes themselves
have raised. The appropriation is
$4,000 and the negroes raised dur
ing the year for the extension of the
ttrm, and to take advantage of this
aid, 5eweea $4,000 and $30,OO0
nearly twice as much as was raised
last year.

1t is about the first of April and
we have not seen where the contract
for the building of the little stretch
of road from Chappells to the river
has been advertised. How about it,
Mr.. Boulware and Mr.. Martin? Can't
you get in behind the highway depart
ment in Columbia, or wherever the
thing is held up, and let US have this
little piece of road. 1t is greatly
needed and will not take a great deal
of time to build, if someone will just
get started on the building of it.

that it is so often neglected by par

others. Some intelligent and con-
scientious people recover from spoil
ing in youth; but seldom. And a
spoiled man, usually, is-well, to put
it mildly, one of the most Nisagrec-
able and inefficient things in the
world. Every parent wishes his or
her child to be great. Why not start
the child on the road to greatness?

We are pleased to note that the
city authorities are looking around
for some good top soil. Especially
should the streets leading into the
highways be put in as good cond:-
ton as the highways, so that the ira
veler will not be able to go away and
say that the road is fine until you
strike the city limits of New1erry,
and that you can tell the moment you
do so by the condition Of the road.
A good top soil road will do the work.

The good old summer time seems to
have arrived. The weather has been
something like corn planting time,
but owing to the rains the farmers
have not been able to get by with
much blowing. They say you should
plant early, as it will help you to
head off the boil weevil. But with
the warm winter the animal has prob
ably been able to hibernate success
fully in the trees and old rubbish
about the fields and will be on the JOB
as soon as the cotton plant is ready.

LET'S BUILD YOUR ROAD

If our good friend T. j. w. would
only read The Herald and News he
would see even in the last issue Of the
paper where we advocated road Or
the building of the present road into
a highway somewhat on the order CT
some of the good roads built in New
berry county, from Pomaria right
out by Jolly Street, giving a cross
road from one highway to another.
We would like to see the road that
T. J. w. wants the highway commits
sion to build put across right now,
but we try to be fair and we ask T..
J. W. and the other good people who
live down that side if it is not true
that most of the highways that have
been built so far do not parallel each
other to a great extent and run across
the county in the same direction. 1t
is somewhat like the railroads Of the
state, nearly all of them run east and
west and there are very few that run
north and south. And in the same
article to which we refer our COOL
friend he will see that we punched
Commissioner Kinard just little be-
cause he was not doing little more
read work in No. 10.
There are lots of white people down
in No. 10 and we would do anything
we can to help them. They have
been very kind to US and the rural
route that goes out from Prosperity
in that direction, No. 6, carries The
Herald and News to practically every
white family on the route. We love
all the hills and the brooks and fields
and the woods of all that section.
We do not take second place to ony
one in the respect and the love- we
hold for the scenes of our youth and
all the trees and all the hills and the
valleys and springs (and especially
the old spring whose crysaIl waters
come cool and refreshing from the
rocks of the everlasting hills) and
the rabbits and the birds and opos-
sums of the old hills where we were
born are very near and dear to US,
and nothing in the rc>d building pro-
gram in this county would please US
better personally than to see good
highway right along by these old
hills, and we would help to the extent
of our ability to build it, if that
would do any good, but We realize
that there is an end to the present
read building funds of the county.
Nothing would please US better than
to see a highway out the road ind
Gated by T. J. w. and on down to
Pomaria. We would feel that if this
were done there would be chance
to unite the schools of Johnstone and
Union and the building of real
school down on the highway, and that
we could then give portion of John
stone to Hartford and all the children
in all three of the districts would Be
the benefciaries. A good highway
and good school would do service
to that community which il would be
difficult to estimate in dollars. In fact
it would be impossible. They not
only have the white families who own
their own homes out this side, but

SELF CONTROL
By j. F. J. Caldwell.


To the Editor Of The State:
One day, when walking past our
reserve picket on the Rapidan, I heard
a sergeant tell his comrades how he
coveted my (as he supposedly fear
lessness in battle. I halted, and, af-
ter thanking him for the compliment,
stated that l did not deserve it; but
that my department in battle was the
result of my control of my voice and
my actions. | admitted that | some
times felt considerable fear, under
fire, and always during the night be-
fore battle; and added, that that
was the case with many of our best
officers and soldiers. And / proceeded
to give the boys brief discourse on
the value of that great element of
self-control. l had not then read
Joanna Bajllie's play "Basil" in which
Rosenberg says to Frederick, who had
boasted of his fearlessness in fight
'The brave man is not he who feels
no fear,
For that were stupid and irrational; !;
But he whose noble soul it's fear
subdues,
And bravely dares the danger nature
shrinks from"
Nor had l read the Duke of We'll
lington's statement, that men of "nat-
ural courage" do not make the best
soldiers, but those who, although
shrinking from the conflict, yet do not
finch, because nerved to their task by
a sense of duty. spoke from my own
observation and experience.
Later in the day, newly enlisted
conscript came to me, and thanked
me for my talk, and went on to say
that he had feared that he should not
be able to face the dangers of battle,
but that, after hearing me, he felt
hopeful of discharging his duty. And,
l may add, his hope was realized; for
he became a fine, staunch soldier. 1t
is the hope of rendering somewhat
similar assistance to some reader that
leads me to write this article.
King Solomon tells US that che that
is slow to anger is better than the
mighty, and ne that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh a city" And there
are several passages in the New Tes-
lament intoxicating self control-the
Greek egkrateia. This clement is sad
ly lacking in America. We master
people and things fairly we'll; but few
of US are masters of ourselves. We
are largely under the dominion of our
appetites, our passions and our ambi-
t;ons, and in haste to act Oh their
prompting. No success satisfies US;
and we become desperate on suffer
i ing failures or reverses. Hence the
enormous increase of suicides, homi-
cides, and other acts Of violence, di-
vorces, adulteries, frauds, rapacity
and many other acts of wickedness
and folly. And the daily life Of most
of US is marred by restlessness, fret
fulness and discomfort.
Self-control is commonly considered
only sort of sedative, enabling US

Legislate For All the People

All Of the Iowa candidates for the
senate agree that there is something
radically wrong with the Cummins-
Esch law and that it must be repeal
ed, in whole or in part, says the
Knoxville Journal. All agree that
the federal reserve act must be
amended. All are in favor of adj
justed compensation for the soldiers
and all hold out the idea that they
are particularly interested in going to
Washington to be the special cham
pion of the farmer. In the judgment
of this paper all Of them might we'll
give a little prayerful consideration
to this sentiment from NJ. B. Pitts
speech to Tama county farmers, a
few days ago. Senator Pitt, who is
himself a big farmer and the leader
of the fight against paved roads in
the Iowa legislature, said: 81 want to
say to you that any legislation that
is not for the good of all the people
is absolutely against public policy
and the principles of the founders Of

Twenty-three candidates from the
Fourth Congressional District OF
Iowa have been nominated by Con-
gressman Haugen as principal and
alternates for appointment to the
military academy at West Point and
naval academy at Annapolis. Their
status was based upon the rating
they received in competitive examina-
tions.
Farmers in Iowa who are equip
ed with radio apparatus will get
daily market quotations from the
government radio station at Iowa
City, if the postotfice department
carries out a plan now under con-
sideration, which is to broadcast
these market quotations through the
air mail service department.
The agricultural committee has re-
ported favorably the Game Refuge
Bill which provides protection for
migratory birds and for the purchase
by the government of lands for pub
lie hunting grounds.
Congressman Haugen this week
secured a pension of $50 per month
for Mrs. Estella NJ. Edwards of Ma
