In The Hands Of The Public.

Up 10 this time the parents and the
general public could plead ignorance
of at least part and perhaps the
worst part or the bad features IN our
school situation: but after getting the
facts set forth as above there can be
no longer any excuse for this COM
munity submitting TO the abuses to
which our young people have been
subjected.
There has been an increasing real
ization during the past few years that
the conditions were bad, but it was
not until last year that a real step
forward was taken. Against all the
handicaps and propaganda that could
be devised. the new school board estab
lished high school upon the basis of
state requirements. In spite of ali the
opposition that could be mustered, the
school was success and the second
year is starting so well that there is
no longer any DOUBT about its perm
anency.
In addition 10 the statement OF Mr..
Colvin there is great deal that should
be made public. Experiences are be-
ing reclted on the streets more freely
than ever, and the expressions indi-
cate Enthusiastically that Louisa is at
last awake TO the situation. and that
our people are determined to come to
the rescue of the youth Of this county
and city. which once held first place
in the Big Sandy valley in educational
efficiency.

We are devoting good bit of oul

We are devoting a good bit of our
space in this issue to the publication
of the account of the campaign
meeting at Filbert. It, is about the
best and fullest report of the cam
paign that we have seen this year,
except the one in the Spartanburg
Herald of the meeting at Union, but
we are using the Filbert report be-
cause that is always looked upon as
very important meeting from a po-
litical standpoint and then it is writ
ten by a country newspaper reporter
and is full. Some of the candidates
did not get to speak on account of
the rain, but the candidates for gov
,ernor seem to be given a full and
fair report.
The campaign party will be in
Newberry next Monday and all the
people will be given the opportunity
to hear and see the candidates for
themselves.

BEAR WITH US

We ask our friends to bear with
US. 1t has been a little difficult to
get our forces properly organized,
and then with nearly a thousand cor
rections to be made in the mailing
list in month, and many Of them
new subscribers, it has been lmpos-
sible to have the mailing lists cor
rected, and many of the new sub
scribers have not gotten the paper.
We are getting the list in shape just
as fast as we can. And also will
make the corrections on the old sub
scriber just as quick as possible.
Those who did not take advantage
of the sale Will of necessity have to
have the paper sent for a few issues,
because until we get the corrections
made it would be difficult to tell who
had and who had not paid, and we
do not want to take off any one who
has paid. But just as soon as we
can get the corrections made we will
take from the list all who have not
paid for the paper, because we must
run on a cash basis.
We shall regret to take off any
name, but we gave all an opportun-
ity to get in good standing and if
you failed do not blame the editor.

We are putting on a church page

We are putting on a church page
with this issue. This is a church 60
ing community, but this is also a
day of advertising, and it is we'll to
keep the people constantly reminded
of the opportunity they have to go
to church. In addition to the article
along this line which will appear on
this page every Friday we will be
very glad to publish church notices,
and notices of any services in the
church, and this applies to the
churches in the county. We would
like to have such notices in the Office
as early as possible. 1t will be worth
a whole lot to the people if the vari-
Gus pastors will keep the notices
changed up to date all the while, and
as we are giving the space it seems
to US that they would sbe glao to fur
nish the facts as to the services in
the churches. In this way it will be
a help to the cause and to the people
as well.

AID CAN BE GIVEN

The hail storms of last week did
great damage in many sections of
the state, but especially was the
storm severe in the counties Of Lau-
rens, Anderson, Greenwood and AS
beville, and also in Newberry, bu5
not to so great an extent as in these
counties mentioned, if we are to
judge by the reports in the newspa-
pers.
kilograms have been sent to
Washington in an effort to secure
such seeds as might be planted at this
time to make crop, but the report
is that the supply has been exhaust
ed by supplying seeds to other Sec
tions that have suffered and nothing
can be done until congress authoriz-
es it, and the house will not be in
session again until about the 18th
of August.

The Chinese prefer paper of
much softer quality for their cores
pondence than that made for the use
of Americans. This is because the
Chinese write entirely with brushes
and ink. Wrapping paper of soft,
thin variety, light cream in color, is
usually found in the better stationary
shops, while the native shops sell a
cheap brown paper.

The school at Newi5erry college is
doing most excellent work. The fac
ulty is able and efficient and the
teacher pupils are applying them
selves and 1 am satisfied that fine re-
suits are being obtained at this
school, and it is worth a great deal
to the teachers of the county and
necessarily will be of great benefit
to the children who are to be taught
by these teachers. And then it is OF
great help to students who have con-
ditions to work off and to those who
desire to get ready to enter college.
DR.. Jas. C. Kinard is proving himself
most excellent director of sum-
mer school. In fact, he is good
worker in whatever harness he may
be hitched.
