tiers and since then there have been
other states following the same gen
eral plan. The most phenomenal
growth of home rule charters is shown
in Ohio, where the system went into
effect in 1913, and where more cities
have adopted home rule charters than
in any other state. In some of the
Ohio cities the city manager and COM
mission form of government are in
cluded under the charter system. All
have the modern municipal ideas, in
GLIDING the initiative, referendum, re-
CALL short ballot, non-partisan cleo
tions, the preferential ballot and the

Secretary Of the Missouri Press AS
sociation.)
jefferson City, Oct. Gas this let
ter goes out the report of the Com
mittee on State Officers and Salar-
les is under discussion in the commit
tee of the whole, and is expected to
make record time in getting through,
due to the fact that few changes
have been made in the sections it has
considered, and also to the fact that
some Of the matters were discussed
and passed upon in the report of the
Committee on Executive and Minis
terial Departments.
One of the chief new features en-
bodied in the committee report was
the provision for the creation of a
Public Safety Contingent FUND.-, to
be disbursed by the governor in the
interest of the "health, peace, safety
and general welfare of the citizens of
the state. The amount to be set
aside was named as $4,000 for each
biennial period. It was explained by
members of the committee that this
fund was to meet emergencies that
might arise such as floods, great
confiagrations, cyclones, epidemics,
riots, etc. At present no fund is
available for any such purpose and
yet it was pointed out that the gov
erxnor was charged with conserving
the peace throughout the state. His
only recourse at present, it was stat
cd uac IN coll n,,t +ba ,,n;l;t;o - o,,o1I
disturbances, and this was considered
an unnecessary expense in many
cases.
The plan of the committee met
with prompt and vigorous opposition
in the committee of the whole, and
while no vote was taken on the first
day it was evident that it had little
likelihood of passage, at least in the
form in which it was presented.
The committee in its report fixed no
salaries of state officers, but amend
ments were proposed in the case of
the governor, one calling for a sal
AIRY of $4,000 per year and the other
for $4,000. Both were voted down
by the convention, majority hold
ing the same opinion as the commit
tee that salaries should be fixed by
the general assembly so that they
could be easily changed from time to
time if found to be too high or too
low. 1t was the sense of the conven-
ton also that salaries should be fixed
to cover all activities of state Off
GERS and that all fees should be turn
ed into the state treasury.
The provision in the old constitution
in regard to any person holding more
than one office was changed by the
committee to provide that this should
not apply to other than cities of the
first Class or to notaries public, jus
tees of the peace. or officers of the
militia.

It is an interesting fact brought
out in research by the Committee on
Counties, Cities and Towns that the
home rule charter systems of all the
states that have such systems were
copied, at least in part, from the
Missouri idea" of home rule char
tiers, provided for in thee constitution
of 1875. Under its provisions st.
Louis was given certain privileges of
self-goyernment never before pos
sessed by any American municipality.
California, in 1879, was the first state
to follow Missouri in making consti-
tutional provision for home rule char

! (called "district'' in my young days.
This farm was owned by my step
/ father, James Adams, and adio:nec
the farm Of Capt. Ellison S. Keitt, not
far from Enoree river and not fa1
from old Mt. Pleasant church.
My first school days were spent in
the little old log cabin which stood
on the hill in close proximity to Mt.
Pleasant, and my first teacher was old
Uncle Billy Ruff. I always called him
uncle, although he was no relation.
Some years afterward l attended
school at the school house in the vic
Unity of st. Matthews, not far from
Heller's mill, to which mill l have
carried on horseback many two
bushel bag of corn to be ground. Our
teacher at St. Matthews was one Eoe-
nezer Moore, and ] thought he was
some teacher. He was a latin scholar
and had pupils studying latin. I re-
member one of his latin pupils was
Hillery Suoer. I don't know if you
knew him.
All! Those were the happiest days
Of my life. l would walk three or
four miles to school and then back
home at night during the winter
months, and work in the corn and cot
ton fields during the summer months
and forget half I learned the winter
before. !
But, as you said in your article,
what has all this got to do with the
reminiscence? I did not know Mr..
Griffin, but your mention Of the old
mill brought back to my mind, after
these long years.. a circumstance
which happened in my young days.
| remember on one occasion my
step-father hauled load of wheat to
Aull's mill just outside CT the town
of Newberry and I was with him. We
camped there all night and the next
day we returned home with our firsts
and seconds and m;ddlings, shorts and
bran, and 1 was as happy as lark.
The distance was about fifteen miles
each way.
Whether this was the same mill
where Mr.. Griffin was employed do
not know, but this happened back in
the late sixties while after the SOL
diers were coming home from the bat
tie fields of cole Virginny."

there were many others who did the

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

1 went to Columbia Tuesday with
the committee appointed from the
meeting of trustees of districts that
are depending on equalizing state aid
to run a 7 months term, to present
the matter to the Nawberry delega-
ton. The weather was bad ard so
l decided to go on the train and we
did not reach the state house until
about 1890, but found both branches
in session and arranged with Mr..
Blease and Mr.. Klbler to meet them
Just after the adjournment. Mr..
Counts was not present and Senator
Johnstone who is president Of the SEN
ate in the absence of the lieutenant
governor was presiding over the SEN
ate, so we could meet with Mr.. Blease
and Mr.. Kibler only. There was
fine representation present, owing to
the bad weather. 1t was not the pur-
pose of the committee to do anything
further than let our representatives
know from the statements Of the
trustees themselves of the various dis
tricts in question just the condition
of the finances in these districts, and
that the trustees had made contracts
with the teachers for this year which
could not be fulfilled unless the leg
islature made the appropriation to
carry out the guarantee carried in the
acts of the legislature. The districts
had complied with the conditions and
they simply asked that appropriation
for the common schools be made as re-
quested by the state superintendent cf
education. Messrs. Blease and Klb-
ler gave US patient and pleasant
hearing and 1 am sure the trustees
who went to Columbia enjoyed the
trip even though the weather was
bad and the snow came in the after
noon.

ZIG CAST WITH
RAY IN "R. S. V. P"

Charlie Rays droll genius TO bur.
lesoue characters is again evidenced
in "R. S. V. p" his First National
attraction which will oe at the opera
house Friday, January 27th.
! This time the star appears as an
artist of much ambition, but little
success, who is impoverished because
he declines to have his wealthy rela.
tive support him. Jean Calhoun
makes her bow as leading lady for
the star and proves an attractive per
son, just suited to Rays style of act
ing. Harry Myers, who had a prom
inent role in "a Connecticut Yankee
in King Arthur's Court" appears as
Rays chum, Benny Fielding. Will
liam Courtwright is shown in one of
the character roles for which his
name has become famous in screen
circles.
Rob Wagner, gifted writer of orig
inal scenarios, has provided the star
with a story that offers more than the
usual opportunity for comedy touch
es. The roughshod path of art leads
the two youths to fancy swell at
fair in the towns swell set and right
into the home of Rays girl.
The pleasure is tempered by the
fact that the star believes the girl
is an ARTISTS model, and he has to
do some tall explaining before every
thing is Strengthened out. Before
this happens, however, Ray has chance
to get in all his laughing mannerisms
in the complicated situations that the
story unfolds.
AS in the case of most of his pro-
ductions since he became an independ-
ent star, Ray directed this picture
himself.

THERE WERE TWO

Mr.. Y. NJ. Hutchinson of Whining
ton, Delaware, has a revival of NOM
cries about the days of his childhood
in old New'oerry county upon reading
a little reminiscence which I wrote
a few issues back, and his thoughts
naturally turn to those scenes, and
no doubt his heart yearns and longs
to return to the old home, even if
only to pay homage to the trees and
the rivers and the rivulets, and then
go back to his new home in the far
north.
I just want to tell him there were
two Aull wheat mills in the county in
the days when he went to that one
near Newberry, and that the one near
the town was operated by Captain
John P. Aull who was a brother and
an older brother of the other Aull
who owned and operated the mill near
Prosperity and the one about which
! wrote, and the one Wnefe MT.
Geo. P. Griffin worked. That one was
Jacob Luther Aull who now lives in
Greenwood county not so far from
Ninety Six. The old mill house of
Captain John Aull still stands. 1t
was a brick house and is now owned
BY Mrs. Rawl or Mrs. Boozer, l be-
lieve, but no longer used as mill,
the roller mills taking the place of the
old burr stones of the days of which
Mr.. Hutchinson speaks. The old
wooden building down at the old
place owned by Luther Aull was
burned good many years ago.
/ am pleased that Mr.. Hutchinson
enjoyed the reading of that story and
