the list of the children who have a
record of perfect attendance for the
entire session and those who have
been absent only one day. The at
tendance of all the schools has been
fine the past session. In some dis
tricts there has been a good deal of
sickness but for that the record Of at
tendance has been fine in nearly all
the schools.

IS 1T POSSIBLE?

Can it be true? This story comes
from Europe of thousands of children
diving from lack of food and freez-
ing because of no clothing, and this
part of the world having over-pro-
duction so that there is no market for
the things we produce at price that
we can live. Surely the world must
be out of joint somewhere.
That is a horrible picture that IS
Given of the starving Jews mad the
cruelty which they have suffered. Is
our civilization failure when such
a situation should exist in any part
of the world. The people in one sec
ton living in luxury and spending
money and substance we could al
most say in riotous living, and hum
dreds of thousands in other parts OF
the world dying for the lack of the
necessities of life. With the. world
as close together commercially as 1t
is, and yet for this state Of affairs to
exist there is something radically
wrong somewhere.
And yet to a certain extent the
same thing exists right here in our
own land. There are those who are
really suffering for the necessities
while others are spending lavishly on
the things that are not necessary
A readjustment somewhere is nee
essary. This country boasts that 1t
can feed the world, and we suspect
that the boast is true, and yet the
fact remains that there are hundreds
of thousands of people perishing for
the things that are ne essary to sus-
tain life, and we can not find mar
ket for what we have. 1t does seem
to us that the craftsmanship of this
country should be able to adjust the
economic conditions so that no such
thing could be possible. With the
transportation facilities what they
are in this day all the world is closer
together than it ever was, and in fact
Europe is not now as far from US as
was the northern section of this coun-
try from the southern section a few
years ago. There is pressing need
for some one to come toward and
solve the problem and save these
starving millions of Gods chosen
people. Read the story as published
in another column of this paper.

Death of Mr.. E. P. Matthews

Mr.. Ezekial Perry Matthews died
at his home in the county on We'd
nesday morning at 1920 o'clock, af-
ter an illness of several months. He
had reached the advanced age of 90
years last December, after success
full life as a farmer and the rearing
and educating Of a prominent family.
He served his country during the en-
tire four years Of the Confederacy.
Mr. Matthews is survived by his wild
owsformerly Miss Edith Langford,
and the following sons and daugh-
ters: Mrs. M. M. Satterwhite, Mr..
Clarence A. Matthews, DR.. O. A.
Matthews Of Bennettsvifie, Mr.. Au-
brey l.. Matthews of Little Rock,
Ark, who could not reach Newberry
until Thursday night after the burial,
Mrs. w. P. Smith of Columbia, and
Mrs. Thad McCrackin, besides II
grandchildren and two great-grand-
children, little Frances Baxter and
little Erwin Satterwhite, Jr., a large
circle of other relatives to mourn
their loss, among them being two half
sisters and half brother; Mrs. John
Reeder of the county, Mrs. Crowell
Mitchell of Leesville and Mr.. Jack
Matthews of Savannah.
The burial was held on Thursday
afternoon at o'clock at Rosemont
cemetery, service conducted at the
grave by Rev. DR.. A. J. Bowers, as
sisted by Rev. L. P. Boland, with the
following as pallbearers: J. T. Nc

theWs.
The death of Mr.. Matthews re-
moves from the life Of Newberry
county citizen who, when in the
prime and vigor of his manhood, was
an active, earnest and interested par
ticipant in the affairs engaging at
tention of the times. His home,
abounding in hospitality, was ever
open to the people of the community
and surrounding country, and many
were the gatherings there from time
to time. Especially was he, with his
wife, fond fo the company of the
younger men and women, boys and
girls, who loved to meet there and
enjoy the festivities of the occasion
calling them together. On such oc-
casions Mr.. Matthews appeared to be
in his happiest mood, although he was
always of happy nature, meeting
his friends everywhere with his usual
friendly disposition. If he ever car
ried a crouch around with him, or
complained, or lost his geniality or
talked about his neighbors this writer
never heard or saw it. He never met
US without a smile and a pleasant
word.
The last time the writer saw Mr..
Matthews he was conversing with the
late L. w. Floyd in Mr.. Floyd's Of

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

I attended the closing exercises
of the Midway school on Friday
night. The program was largely mu-
sical and was well rendered. In ad-
dition to the regular W TX of the
three teachers, Mr.. L. L. Shealy and
Miss Ruth Chapman and Miss Sara.
Long, Mrs. J. F. Browne has conduct
ed a very successful music class in
the school this year. These people
were always noted for their fine sing
ing and the young folk are following
in the footsteps of their forbears.
The program was well rendered and
was not too long. At the cocnlusion
of the musical program play taken
from Shakespeare was enacted Gy
the members of the tenth grade. It
was only one scene and was well
rendered. The school has had "a sue
cessful session of eight months. 1
made short talk at the conclusion
of the program and I mention this
mainly to say for the benefit Of some
of the younger people who were
there, that in my reference to the
Monts / got the names a little
mixed. Mr.. Mike Monts whom l
mentioned was mighty good man,
but the one l intended to name as
the singer was Mr.. Levi Monts of
sainted memory. I don't think Mr..
Mike Monts ever undertook to "raise"
a tune, or if he did / do not recall it.
Even at this day I can see Mr.. Levi
Monts in the old church at st. Pauls,
tall and rater slender and robust,
walking up and down the aisle sing
ing with ali the fervor of one who
meant what he was singing. And an
other thing recall about his singing
is that he did not try to sing with his
lips closed or his mouth shut, but he
opened wide his mouth and you could
understand his every word.

rural churches can be of great help
in building up the educational inter-
ests in the rural communities if they
only will. Rev. Mr.. Kisler, pastor of

churches was also present lending of
his influence to the betterment of the
school.
The examination for teachers will
/ be held at the court house on Friday
and Saturday of this1week. Only ex-
aminations for elementary and pri-
mary certificates will be held at this
time. And in this connection l de-
sire to print again the rules of the
state board of education in the mat
ter of renewing outstanding state GER
tificates that expire in 1922. You
will notice that a third grade certifi-
cate can not be renewed, and that in
order to get a first or second grade
certificate renewed it is not only nee
essary that the applicant shall have
taught successfully at least one half
the life of the certificate but that
there must be some summer school
credit. And that this rule applies
to first grade certificates as well as
second grade certificates. This is
! very important matter for all teach
ers to take note of. This is very
! important matter further (?) be-
cause many of the state certificates
expire this year, ard possibly some
of the teachers did not attend sum-
mer school last year nor the year be-
fore, and now they have opportunity
to get summer school credit in order
to renew their certificates by attend
ing summer school this year. The
county board has made it rule for
several year to pay the tuition of all
teachers who attend summer school
to the extent of $40, provided they
teach the coming session in Newberry
icounty. They may attend the New
berry summer school or any other,
but Newberry; will give you the same
credit.

exhibition at the St. Philips school.
This is a four teacher rural graded
school and has had a successful year.
Mr. Clarence Lominick has been the
principal and with his assistants has
lone fine work here. The assistants
ire Misses Lottye Halfacre, Sallle
Lee Cromer and Lula Lominack. The
attendance has been the best in the
history of the school and the record
is one that is hard to match anywhere
The people have the school spirit and
The children have it also and that

Out of an enrolment of around 11O
here were % who never missed day
and a number more who were absent
for only one day, and but for some
sickness there would have been even
better record. There is one grade
which shows almost a perfect at
tendance for the entire grade of 49,
and the school is run for eight
months. 1t may be that the school
will be able to qualify for high
school. The trouble with all our
buildings in the last few years we
did not get the right vision and build
with view of growth and develop
ment. And for that reason | am rec

out up now that we add at least one
more class room than we need at
present. Mr.. L. H. Sease with SIX
