of the senate labor committee, now
ever, suggested that the necessity for
government operation of the mines
might arise. ''If the coal industry
does not reorganize in the interest
of the public it will be up to the pub
lie to try the experiment of govern
ment ownership" he declared in a
statement.
John L. Lewis, president OF the
United Mine Workers, departed from
the union headquarters at Indianapo-
lis Saturday night for Washington
where he will appear before the house
labor committee Monday to testify
regarding the strike. Union officials
estimated that the strike would result
in lost production of 100000 tons
of bituminous coal daily and 100000
IONS of anthracite. The loss in wages
to the miners was estimated at 49,
600 daily.

COAL STRIKE BEGINS
WITH COUNTRY CALM
NO EXCITEMENT REPORTED AS
MINERS QUIT WORK
Union Men Advised Of General An
swer Headquarters Announces
Almost Complete Suspension

The State
Quiet celebration of the anniversa-
ry of the introduction of the eight
hour work day in the mines marked
the first day of the countrywide strike
of union coal miners yesterday.
With some 100000 miners, includ-
ing 100000 non-union men, reported
idle, operators and union leaders were
predicting the first real test of
strength Monday because of the gen.
eral custom of observing the ami
versary.
In the meantime however an almost
complete suspension of work was re-
ported by union headquarters in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and other
unionized districts. In Pennsylvania
both the bituminous and anthracite
diggings were shut down.
From Kentucky it was reported that
work would continue under contract
which has another year to run. In
West Virginia the operators said the
mines would be reopened Monday on
an open shop basis. In Kansas union
chiefs said the strike would continue
despite an industrial court order for
temporary extension of the old con-
tract.
No effort toward federal interven-
tion was reported by administration
leaders holding that any such action
must be based on the existence of an
emergency, which they said does not
yet appear to exist as supplies of coal
for from three to eight weeks are on
hand.

Death of Mrs. Van Smith

The sad news came to Newberry on
Thursday morning of the death of
Mrs. Van Smith, the beloved wife of
DIR. Van Smith. The family had NOV
ed from Newberry to Beaufort a few
years ago and the death occurred at
the home in this town. 1t is not
known if the death was sudden or not.
DR.. Smith for many years practiced
medicine very successfully near Kin
ards and made his home in that COM
munity. Subsequently he moved to
Newoerry where he conducted drug
store. Mrs. Smith trod the path with
him as loving and helpful compan-
ion and wife. Two children survive
their mother besides the bereaved
husband. The children are Claude
Smith and Helen who is the wife of
Mr.. Sigh. Mrs. Smith was the daugh-
ter of John Swittenberg and the sister
of the late William G.. Swittenberg Of
this county.
The remains will be brought to
Newberry for burial and will arrive
on the Southern train Friday after
noon at 3:40 o'clock and will be taken
to the home of Mrs. NJ. K. Switten-
berg IN College street from which the
funeral services will be conducted on
Saturday morning at II o'clock, in
terment in Rosemont cemetery.
Mrs Smith has many relatives and
friends in this county who will be
grieved to learn of her death and
who sympathize with those who
mourn the death of a loving wife and
a devoted mother.

Because there are not as many auto
licenses sold for this year as were
sold last year does not by any means
indicate that there are number Of
cars and trucks being operated with
out state license. There are a good
many, no doubt, out of commission,
and good many people who rode
around last year are setting about to
reduce expenses this year, and one
way is to run the auto in the barn.
The state highway commission says
failure of the legislature to provide
for the enforcement of the law re-
ouiring the use of a tag and the pay
ment of the license, is the reason the
sale of licenses has fallen off. We do
not think SO. There are not great
many people who would break the law
And the state highway commission
has written the counties to enforce
the law. And the state highway COM
mission suggests that it could send
an Inspector Eve believe that is what
the officer was called last year, at a
salary of $500 a year (and we sup
pose expenses) if tae counties would
be willing to pay the cost. The state
provided two inspectors last year and
this year failed to make the appro-
priation.
! Newberry county has wide awake
sheriff and two rural policemen and
a speed cop and several magistrates
and we do not need any help from
an Inspector from the state highway
department to have the law enforced.
The statement issued by the state
highway commission shows that New
berry county is short in license fees
for this year as compared with .ast
wear. s2,752.1O. This does not mean
that there is that much uncolected
license from people who are operating
cars, as the statement Of the ccrmis-
sion would indicate. No, no, there
are probably a number of cars and
trucks that went into winter quarters
that have not yet been sufficiently
thawed to get out, and may be they
hibernate all the year rouad. At any
rate our own officers who are now
paid can enforce this law along with
all the others. Don't need any inspec-
tors in Newberry county.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS
TABERNACLE

made visit to this school in the
fall and had quite a time IN making
the trip, especially over the hill after
crossing Indian creek. 1t was greasy
and it took me some little while to
get up, but 1 finally made it. l have
had three appointments to go back
there at the request of the trustees,
but found that the only way l could
get beyond the home of Mr.. w. w.
Riser was on horseback, and l didn't
have the horse, so l could not make
it. Mr.. J. E. Nabors, one of the trus-
tees, and others were very anxious
for me to make another visit before
the school closed, and I am always
very willing and anxious to go where
the people want me in the interest OF
the school, so I went on Tuesday.

But the great and crying need Of
this community, at this time, and
what is necessary for the develop
ment of the school, is the building OF
some sort of road so that you can get
to it, and the only natural and logi-
cal place for the road, is to leave the
highway at Jalapa and go out to
way at Jalapa and go straight out to
Tabernacle. From Jalapa to Sheriff
Riser's home, the way 1 went around
by the Mt. Olive negro church is,
miles, while l imagine it is only about
three miles straight up from Jalapa,
though do not know the distance
exactly. l measured the road that l
went and the figures here given are
correct. From Mr.. Riser's over to
Tabernacle is miles, and from
there over to the Laurens line a. Lib
erty Hill is only one mile. The home
of Mr.. J. W. Smith who was at one
time county commissioner is on this
road very near the line. Mr.. Smith
has been dead for several years AMI
the home is occupied by his grand
son. The home of Mr.. John W. Scot
is not so far away, and | am gong
to ask him to write me story OF CID
Liberty Hill. l think this section IS
the home of his first wife, and l know
in his young manhood tina. he was
familiar with all the Hzppy Hollows
that are here about, and with knowl-
edge of the local history OF thai Sec
ton will write me an interesting
letter.

But what l wanted to say, and l
will try to say it again, and then
some more, because It can not be said
too often until the thing is accom-
plished, and that is that this section
needs road, and it needs it bad, and
l was pleased to hear Chairman Boul-
ware say in talking to me about it,
after this visit, that it was his pur-
nose to build the road from Jalapa

Near by the school house is the old
home of former sheriff OF NeWber-
ry county, Nathan F. Johnson, who
held the Office from 1859 to 1868. No
one is now living in the house and 1t
is in a rather dilapidated condition.
And then not far away from Liberty
Hill is the former home of Sheriff Bu-

from a victory for the Americans IN
the Revolutionary war, the battle
ground being on hill in view of
where the church stood. When

Miss Sadie Lever has taught the
school the present session, and the
term has been seven months, and the
school closes this week. There are
around. twenty-five children in this
district, and they are fright and very
much interested, and there has been
great development IN the matter Of
schools in the community during the
past ten years. When l held the o.
flee some eight or ten years ago my
recollection is that the special tax
was only about two mills, If any tax
at all, and the school term was around
three months and the salary Of the
teacher only $35 per month. Now
the special tax is eight mills and the
school term is seven months, and the
salary this year is $50, and another
year it is the purpose to run an eight
months school, and will pay a good
salary, Miss Lever does not intend

| to teach any more, and without this
being at all an advertisement, this IS
fine place for a good teacher and
community worker to do some flne
work, and pleasant work, because the
people are clever and good and will
cooperate with any one who desires
and tries to do community work.
Some three years ago new school
house was built, and there is close by
a Methodist church and also Fair
view Baptist church is only half mile
beyond 1t is the purpose of the
trustees to paint the school house
during the summer vacation. 1t is
in the midst of good farming sec
ton and the lands are not high, and
now is a good time to buy farm out
here, because when the road is built
and the school further improved you
will find the price of land doubled.
I spent a couple hours in the school
with Miss Lever and the children and
enjoyed it very much. ]. E. Majors
and NJ. P. Johnson, trustees, were
also present. Mr.. Owenby, the other
trustee, has moved away and no ap-
pointment has been made for his sue
cessor. Mr.. Godfrey who lives near
the school was also present. In COM
pany with Mr.. Majors and Mr.. God
frey l drove over to the site where
stood the old Liberty Hill Lutheran
church. which, l believe, is the one
that has been moved to Jalapa. 1t
is lust over the line in Laurens coun-
ty and the site is a beautiful one, a
high hill overlooking the surrounding
country and the view is fine. There
is nothing there now but the grave
yard and it is we'll kept. There are
some familiar and prominent New
berry names on some of the tomb
stones in this graveyard. William
Riser and Adam Berley l recall, and
then there are Deems and Jones and
Smiths. Sometime before so long |
want to make another visit to this
place when I will have time to talk
to the older people and get some local
history. Mr.. Nabors says that just
at the foot of the hill is famous
spring located in what they call Hap
py Hollow, and there is where the
annual p;enics are held, and l have an
invitation to the next one and hope
to go.

nected Engineer Sanders did tell
me the other day that the. state high

in different parts of the state, and
they were trying to assemble all OF
them so as to let the contracts all at

1t is in bad shape, that is the road IS
simply awful. And the Chappells

ting bad in some places. But where
the right sort of top soil was put
down it is fine even after hard rain
such as we had on Wednesday after
noon. The rain overlook me on
Wednesday near the home of Mr.. h.

hour until the hardest of the rain was
over, and then drove on to Newber-
'ry without any trouble whatever,
though l did not exceed the speed
limit. The bridge over Bush river is
getting along mighty slow but when
it is finished there will be bridge

When l came through Chappells
on Wednesday afternoon practically
all business was suspended and all
places closed in honor1to the memory
Of Captain W. R.. Smith who was bur-
led that afternoon at Ninety Six, and
a great many of the Chappells people
attended the funeral to pay their final
tribute to his memory. 1t was right
and proper for them to do this. Cap
tain Smith was a lifelong citizen of

should have some relief. l do not

/ Since writing the above | made a
short visit over home and l was talk
ing to my father about old Liberty
Hill, having heard him in the long
ago tell about his visits up there to
the home of Mr.. William Riser to be
with his son, L. P. w. Riser, who was
about the same age as my father and
i both being young men at the time
and not only related but good friends
and companions. William Riser was
the son of John Riser who was bro
ther to my grandmother. William Ri
ser married Elizabeth Berley who
was sister to DR.. Joel A. Berley, the
father of w. W. Berley of Pomaria.
, This is not exactly about schools but
in these rounds I can not help writ
ing word or two now and again
about the older people who lived IN
the communities that I visit. The
truth is, l think that every teacher
should be required to teach the chill
dren something of their own commun-
ity and it's people and its histry. And
of their own county and the affairs
of the county. Why, do you know
that l have frequently visited schools
and would ask the children if they
could rame the governor of the state,
and rot many of them could tell me.
And none of them could tell you the
names of the senator and the repre-
sentatives from Newberry county.
And the children are not to blame.
In fact in one community there were
come grown men present who could
not tell me off hand the names of the
members of the legislature from New
berrv county, except that they knew
Eugene Blease was one of them. Ana
I said to myself, what is fame, any
way? But am off the subject again
I have referred to this to say that
Wallace w. Riser was the first man in
the history of Newberry county to BE
elected to the office of sheriff TOR
three successive terms In the old days
is not a bad one. There were
before the war the law was so written
that sheriff could not succeed
himself. The sheriffs then sold all
the lands and handled large sums
of money. The principle underlying
the law was that it was we'll to
have a squaring of accounts ire
ouently and the best way to do
that was to change the officials
who handled this money. The idea
two brothers in the days just preced-
ing the war who were alternately
elected sheriff, Major John P. Kinard
and Gen. Henry H. Kinard. There IS
lust lots of history all over Newberry
county that has never been written
that would be interesting and posi-
/ bly, make US prouder of our county II
! we knew it and had it in such shape
that we could preserve it. And it
/ seems to me that the children should
be made to study their own history
and to learn something of their for
bears.

On Monday l went before the
highway commission and asked the
opening of road across from the
highway at Mollohon school to the
old road at Mccullough school, dis
tance of about one and quarter
miles, so that we might get The dis
tricts nearer togethe, and while there
I also suggested that it would help
the school situation if we had road
from Mudlic, or about Mr.. M. j..
Longshore's, over to Vaughnville, and
also some sort of road around Bush
River scool, and also a road so that
we might get to Tabernacle. To de-
velop the schools we must develop
the road. The road from Vaughnville
down to Chappells was being worked
on Wednesday when was up there,
and it will soon be in fine shape.
My father told me the other day
WNeU WAS LueIe, WlllS VIC "SAS
talking about Tabernacle and Liberty
Hill, that he built a bridge at Indian
creek on this same road once good
manyyears ago, and that every one
told him that it would be impossible
to build a bridge there that would
stand, but that Mr.. J. W. Smith who
was one of the county commissioners
at the time had the pillars or piers
about seven feet under ground and
the bridge about level with the fill
that was made, and that fill had to
be built out Of rock for good long
distance on either side of the creek,
and that when it was completed it
made the crossing easy. 1t will take
a long fill now unless the engineer
may be able to find another crossing
Of this creek, but that does not make
any difference, we must have the
road.
