AMONG THE SCHOOLS


The last paper was little crowded
with advertisements, and I had of ne
cessity to postpone some of my COM
ments on the among the schools, anC
in view of that condition l really had
not written anything. Now and
then, as ! have before remarked,
some one says that there is too much
of this in The Herald and News, and
may be there is, but / feel that if 1t
serves any good purpose at ali In
keeping an interest in the schools ano
keeping the people Informed as t.
school conditions that the space Is
well taken, because just at this time
the school problem is the biggest one
before the people today, and in order
to keep an interest in anything there
must be some publicity and some az
itation, and may be sometimes it i,
necessary to get the people aroused
in order to get them to thinking, anc
it is impossible to do anything unit
the people think, and they must think
before they act. And besides that
] am the judge of what l shall print
and if there should be any depart
ment of the paper that has anything
in it that the subscriber or the read
er does not feel an interest in, he is
not obliged to read it,, and there j
no ccnpulsion on any one to sub
scribe for the paper or TO read it.

And now that the county IS ouilc-
ing a highway to Bla:rs this entire
section will be much nearer to Us
The bad road has kept many OF our
people from being better acquainted
with the people out this far from
US. The road is nearly graded to the
river and in fact the gang is now
camped at Mt. Pleasant and, from
Newberry down that far the road is
graded and partly top soiled. 1t has
been greatly improved and wnen
completed will bring all this section
Of the county closer to US. Manv
crooks and bad grades have been
taken out. 1 understand that the
road is to be built within mile of
the river at Blairs Why not go on
to the river?

rick and some Of these other fellows
who don't know how to enjoy good
things to eat will be ready to say,
''ves, there he is eating and talking
about eating, again." and we are
ready to say, yes, we do enjoy good
things to eat, and we dc love. yes,
that's what We mean. though may be
some Of the strict conseru:t :t!on!sts
like Dr.. Settler woald say that is not
the correct word when you are talk
ing about material things. But it
suits US, and we believe that the
good people of Newoerry county love
to have US visit them from time to
time, and to break bread with them.
and if they do not they have a mighty
good way Of fool:ng Us and making
us believe that they are glad to have
us. One OF the great compensat:ons
CT this work to Us IS 20 get out among
the people and talk to them Of their
schools and tell them Of the great
Importance Of providing for the bet
ter training CT the children. and to
meet and encourage the children and
the teachers, and we believe that we
are doing some little good III arous-
ing an interest, and you can not get
any where in any movement until
you get the people interested.
Saturday evening I had the great
pleasure of meeting with the mem
bers of the improvement. association
Of the Saluda school in one of their
regular meetings. 1t was great
pleasure to see the large attendance
and the intelligent manner in which
the work IS conducted and the inter-
est the people and the children are
taking in the work. The meeting
was at o'clock in the evening and
Dr.. Knots drove me down. He dcliv-
cred one Of his excellent health talks
to the people and on motion it was
requested of him that ne furnish a
copy for publication IN the Newberry
papers so that those who were not
present might nave the benefit OF the
suggestions he made in the matter

pie Of this community and this dis

Talking about roads I want to call
the attention of Mr.. Martin, the man
who has charge of the upkeep of the
roads, to the entrance TO the Long

There was a good attendance of
the people OF the community at the
opening of the school as iaere always
is. The people Of Poalaria and sur

est never lags. l haze seen this

school, and then a high school with
five teachers, and / am just as proud
of it as if I lived right there in the
community, and proud that | had
a little something to do with this de-
velopment. And then l am proud OF
the fine school they have at Pomarla
this year. The. trustees have secur-
ed enthusiastic and experienced tea
chers and they are going to have a
real school here doing good work. Mr.
j. H. Bedenbaugh continues as prin-
cipal and Mrs. L. B. Bedenbaugh IS
assistant in the high shcool, and II
the grammer school they have Miss
Marion Settler and Miss Matte Gro
mer and Miss Mary Brown all excel
lent teachers, Misses Cromer and
Brown with several years experience;
The enrolment was good for the op-
ening day and many more to come.
There is also very active improve
ment association connected with this
school and it is doing fine work. The
house is always neat and clean and
now if the association would direct
lust a little of its attention to the i'm
provement of the school grounds and
make them a little more attractive
it would be fine way IL wnich to
spend some of its energy. like to
see nice grounds aroSnd the school
building. The planting of a few
shade trees and some flowers would
help. but before that is done it would
pay to get some one who knows how
to come and lay off the grounds.

 The legal department of the Farm Bureau has accomplished great things and continues it's work of gigantic proportions in the farmers interest
 The queston of freight rate reduction can be accomplished most feasibIv | thru the Farm Bureau. Mir. Clifford Thorne, the leading counsel has al 1 ready secured reductions on farm commodities amounting to hundreds o1 millions of dollars. In matters of unfair competitive rate adjustments. oamage claims by cooperative mar ketlng associations and legal compli- cations of various kinds his servces are invaluable to the farmers of America. Without an Organization With the scope and resources of the Far Bureau we should be unable to retain lawyer of such outstanding ability and experience.
 In organization the Farm Bureau is Democratic. patterned after our na- tonal state and county goyernments. Each member is part of the county. state and national organizations and has voice in their conduct. Control IS exercised thru representatives elected by the members. These rep- resensatives. however. are called ii- frectors.

Mother made all our clothes except few brown domestic shirts. We raised our own wool, but it was hard to raise. sheep the wolves were so bad. We had to pen them every night and some times they would be caught in the day time. l can remember when there was no niu- cilage on envelopes or stamps. There was then little thin, red substance little less than dime called q wafer. The waters came in little wooden boxes. They held about h pint. They were hard when dry, but when put in your mouth they became soft and sticky.
 A man by the name of Samuel Gray living near Baker Springs took up Fishers Skull two or three years after he was hung and chronological on it, then hung it On a bush on the branch near by. Some movers campeo near by the skull and found it and said something about it. l never knew what became of it. Two years after Fisher was hung man by the name of Joe Axe, desperado, was killed near where Fisher was hung, Joe Axe came in about 100 wards of where the guards were standing Joe Axe got off his horse and cut q whip and came up to the guard, leaving the other man where he stood A man by the name of John Capeheart was on guard. Thomas McDaniel was sergeant of the guard. Axe was halted and asked if he had a pass He said that he had. While he was presenting bogus pass he made an effort to draw his gun and was killed instantly. Joe Axe was burned within 20 feet of Fishers grave. A red stone was set up and the name a. Axe" was cut on it. His mother lived in Fort Smith. Axe was killed in '6S, two or three years after the close of the war. Ake's mother came from Fort Smith in a wagon, took his body up and hauled him to Fort Smith and re-enterred him there.

They got the files, baked a pone of bread for the prisoners, put the files in the bread. The irons were examined ever two hours or when new guards were put on duty. The day was set at 9 o'clock 6. in., but at o'clock in the morning they made a break and got away.
