Mr.. L. A. Boozer, the very active
and efficient adjutant of the camp of
sons of veterans says that he does not
feel that the sons are showing the
proper respect for the sacrifices their
fathers made, in failing even to have
even one meeting of the camp year,
and he can not understand how it that
daughters can have a number of
camps and they can hold a meeting
once a month. He hopes it does not
mean shat the sons are less apprecia-
tive of their fathers than are the
daughters, and yet he can not under
stand the lack of interest on the part
of the sons. He hopes to see some
new life thrown into the camp of
sons. The boys should not so soon
forget. In other words, Mr.. Boozer
is very anxious to see the sons take at
least sufficient interest in the camp
to meet occasionally, and thus keep
up the touch and keep alive the mem
ories of the sacrifices and the suffer-
ings of their forbears.

Brick house. Nathan F. Johnson
from 1859 to 1868 and w. w. Riser
from 1884 to 1896 and NJ M. Buford
from 1896 to 1912. Four men from
this section who served as sheriff of
the county for a combined period OF
So wears. And this reminds me to say
that Young John Harrington served
as clerk of the court from 1907 to
1850 and died while in office. The
first election of clerk of the court
by the people was when B. j. Ramage
was elected in 1851 and he served un-
IL 1866 and then resigned. Judge
O'Neall, 1 think it is, made the re-
mark that the history, that is the ear
ly history of the county, was that the
people rarely changed their county
officials and when they got a compe-
tent man they kept him in office un-
til he died or resigned. But they
would change the members of the leg
islature on the slightest provocatlon.
I think Judge O'Neall himself was
one time defeated for reelection to
the legislature when he was speaker
of the house, because the people OF
the county did not approve his vote
for some small appropriation, but 1T
was a good thing for him personally
because the next legislature, appre-
ciating his ability and worth, promot-
ed him to the bench where he served
with distinguished ability for many
wears. He was a chancellor from
1928 to 1850 and then chief justice
from 1850 to 1868 when he died. At
one time three of the cnancellors
were from Newberry and all three OF
them were on the bench at the same
time, John Belton O'Neall, Job john
stone (Johnstone served from 1881
to 1862 when he died), and James >.
Caldwell. But am again wandering
far afeld from among the schools. l
mention these matters as l go along
in the hope that the children may see
what Newberry has done and accom-
plished in the past, and the great men
she has produced that it may stir
them to emulate the example and
keep the good name and the fame OF
the county in the forefront. And the
children in the schools should be
taught something of the statesmen
and other men and women who have
contributed to the making of the his
tory of the county and the state.

Under the constitution the three
mill tax is to be apportioned among
the school districts according to en-
rolment, and the present year and last
year the apportionment was S2.25 per
child. The legislative delegation from
Newberry directed the county board
of education to take out of the school
fund the sum of $500 to pay New
berry's portion of the salary of the
home demonstration agent, and to
take it out of the tax to be collected
in 1922, and, therefore, the appor-
tionment next year will be Is cents
less, or S2.10 provided the assessment
is not reduced, and that will only pay
the salary of the agent to January
/, 1923. If the work is to continue
and the salary to be taken out of the
school fund, the board will have to
reduce the apportionment still more
and the probability is the apportion-
ment next year will be only $500.
This apportionment is required to be
made in July, or as soon thereafter
as possible. In this county it is al
ways made as soon as the total enrol
ment is available and the total assess
ment of the property can be had. The
school year and the fiscal year run
different. The fiscal year is from Jan
uary to January and the school year
from June to June. AS the salary of
the home demonstration agent is to
run for the fiscal year and the work
is continued for the next fiscal year
and the salary for the fiscal year is
provided it will be necessary to take
out of the next school fund the salary
for eighteen months.

At this time and in the midst of the

that the subject of little poem writ
ten by Sidney Lanier many years
ago would be a good idea around
which to build a good essay. The
rules governing the contest are left
to the principals of the high schools.

The contract to build the road out
toward Tranwood has been let to the
Newell Contracting company and
work has been commenced. This
sounds good and we only wish it was
possible to build the road out to Bush
River church, but even five miles IS
better than no road at all, and when
it is built five miles the people who
live out beyond the five mile limit and
have to travel the road to get to
town will not be satisfied for long to
do without the extension, and then
there is such great need for a road
to this hourishing church and COM
munity around Bush river church that
the people of all the countryside
round about should not rest until the
road is built on to the Belfast road.

day and Saturday. l have for sever
al years, as the readers of The Her
aid and News will recall, spent the
Easter in Walhalla, taking my father
and mother over to be with their

They want to go again this Easter.
This is my reason for making this
statement. I do not offer it as an ex-
cuse, because 1 feel it my duty and
privilege to go with these good peo-
pie to Walhalla to spend the Easter
time, and l mention it here so that if
there should be any one who may

| have had on an extra amount OF
steam for the past several days try
ing to get the applications for equal
izing money in the hands of the state
superintendent of education by April
20, somehow getting the impression
that was the date set for the fling OF
these applications. l was just really
one month ahead, the goth of May
is the last day fixed for the fling of
these applications. Well, it doesn't
matter, l have them all filled out and
ready just as soon as I can get the
of the trustees and the av-
erage attendance put down by the
teachers themselves. We have only
about fourteen of these schools that
can qualify for this aid. A good ma
nv more have voted the mill tax
but have not the enrolment, and
some can run seven months without
the state aid. Every school in the
county should have an eight months
term and certainly there should be
none with less than seven months
and vet we have few that can not
