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
DR.. Van Smith. The family had NOV
ed from Newberry to Beaufort a few
years ago and the death occurred e.
the home in this town. 1t is no.
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 C. 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 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 a number OF
cars and trucks being operated with
out a. 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-
quiring the use of 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 a 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 1--WE believe that is what
the officer was called last year, at a
salary of $500 a year (and we sup
pose expenses) if the counties would
ibe 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
year, s2,752.10. This does not mean
that there is that much uncolected
license from people who are operating
cars, as the statement Of the ccmnlis-
sion would indicate. No, no, there
are probably number of cars and
trucks that went into winter quarteF&
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

I 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 l finally made it. l have
had three appointments to go back
there at the request of the trustees,
but found that the only way I 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
il. 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.

The Herald and News IS pleased
that so good a newspaper as the Alb
;beville Press and Banner agrees with
US and says that Congressman noml-
nick in being the only congressman
from South Carolina thai voted
against the bonus is the only one
"who voted right" And then the
Press and Banner proceeds to discuss
the question briefly and to give its
reasons for so saying, and they are
good and sufficient.

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 I went around
by the Mt. Olive negro church ls'
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
tine 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 going
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 thai 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 al interesting
letter.

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 o.
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, II any tax
at all. and the school term was around
three months and the salary Of the
teacher only S35 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 good
salary. Miss Lever does not intend

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 1853. No
one is now living in the house and It
is in rather dilapidated condition
And then not far away from Liberty
Hill is the former home of Sheriff Bu-
ford. And Liberty Hill gets is name
from a victory for the Americans IN
the Revolutionary war, the battle
ground being on a hill in view of
where the church stood. When
go back to the picnic at Happy Hol-
low hope to have more time and will
write more about the local history
of this section. All the people up this
side should naturally come to New
berry to do their trading, and this
should be their logical market,
even those above the Newberry line
out in Laurens county. l do not
know but l imagine that this is, cr is
very near, that famous township Of
Laurens known as Jacks. I am going
to ask Sheriff Buford to tell me about
Jacks township and how it got its
name and will publish it in subse-
Quent issue.

When I came through Chappells
on Wednesday afternoon practically
all business was suspended and all
places closed in honor1to the memory
CT Captain W. R.. Smith who was bur-
led that afternoon at Ninety Six, and
great many of the Chappells people
attended the funeral to pay their final
tribute to his memory. It was right
and proper for them to do this. Cap
tain Smith was a lifelong citizen of
Chappells and for many years an ac-
tive business man and did much for
the development of the community,
taking an active part in church and
school in his younger days.

Wednesday l drove over to Vaughn
Vile to see how the work on my mod
ell school building was getting along
The last of the brick laying was com
pleted and part of the frame for the
roof was up. Mr.. King said he would
have the roof on by the first OF next
week. l am anxious to get this house
completed for the reason that l want
delegation from Mccullough ano
Mollohon to go over and see this
building so that when we come to put
up the consolidated school for these
two districts they may see what VIZ
will have. And the same from Beth
eden and Long Lane. / am sure wher
they see this house they will all be
enthusiastic to get to work on then
buildings.

| TO teach any more, and without this
being at all an advertisement, this is
fine place for good teacher and
community worker to do son fine
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 a 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.
l spent couple hours in the school
with Miss Lever and the children and
enjoyed it very much. J. 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 | drove over to the site where
stood the old Liberty Hill Lutheran
church, which, / believe, is the one
that has been moved to Jalapa. 1t
is just over the line in Laurens coun-
ty and the site is a beautiful one,
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 | 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 a famous
spring located in what they call Hap
py Hollow, and there is where the
annual p;cnics are held. and have an
invitation to the next one and I hope
to go.

ry-Greenwood road might be con-
nected. Engineer Sanders did tell
me the other day that the state high
way commission had several projects
in different parts of the state, and
they were trying to assemble all of
them so as to let the contracts all at
the same time. l sincerely hope that
they will soon assemble and let the
work on the completion of this begin.
1t is in bad shape, that is the road IS
simply awful. And the Chappells
highway needs attention. 1t is get
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.
T. Fellers and l stopped for about an
hour until the hardest of the rain was
over, and then drove on to Newber-
'ry without any trouble whatever,
though I 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
worth while.

On Monday I went before the
highway commission and asked the
opening of a 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.. NJ. 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 I was up there,
and it will soon be in fine shape.
NV father told me the other day
when l was there, while We were
talking about Tabernacle and Liberty
Hill, that he built 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 il 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.

Allen, father" of the in- dustrial court act. The main fight in the primary campaign against the in dustrial court act was made by labor unions, through their state organiza- Gon and several anti-taxation leagues which selected Fred W. Knapp of Sa- lima as their candidate for the repub- lican nomination. Returns show Knapp ran a poor fifth in a field of seven candidates and carried but one county-Salina, in which he resided Incidentally, the sixth and seventh honors in the race went to the two women candidates-Miss Helen Petit grew, on light wine and beer plat form, and Mrs. w. D. Mowry, advo- cate of more office work and less oratory." Neither of the women car ried a single precinct of the 2536 in the state.

At the same time he will advocate the labor unions cause for the abolition of the industrial court. The returns Of the primary election show quite conclusively that neither farmers nor the labor union members rallied to the anti-industrial court standard, and that primary campaign efforts to amalgamate farmer and labor forces were pretty much in vain.
