Why so much politics in the aver
age country town or small communi-
~?
Why 50 little cooperation ia the
interest OF local advancement?
Find the solution to these two prob.
lens. remove the cause. and you will
more than justify your presence as a
citizen.
Continued cooperation will make
any community. Excessive political
activity will throttle 1t.
We can find 10 fault with maintain.
ing party lines in national and state
affairs, but when they are drawn and
tightens to include the small home
town it has Il tendency to destroy the
hearty cooperation that is essential
TO LEGAL amty and prosperity
Neighbors who think frs; Of party
aseendency in time become SO en-
crossed in their political strife they
consider little else. Thus the lcgiti-
mate plans Tor local Improvements
are advocated by the party adherents
who propose them and are opposed
by the members Of the opposition
party.
One group of active citizens is pull
ing against another regardless OF the
merits OF the questions at issue. while
;he inactive class stands idly by and
watches one bunch smash the other.
Political hatreds and community
luminosity are thus engeadcrcd TO the
detriment Of progressive advance
ment.

CHANGES IN ARCTIC OCEAN
Seals Said to Be Finding Temperature
Little Too High, and Ice Is
Less Plentiful.

The Arctic ocean is warming up, ice
bergs are growing scarce and in some
places the seals are finding the water
too hot. according to report to the
Commerce department from Consul
lift at Bergen.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunt-
ers and explorers all point to radlcal
change in climatic conditions and NTH
erto unheard of temperatures in the
Arctic zone, exploration expeditions re-
porting that scarcely any ice has been
encountered as far north as 81 degrees
% minutes. Soundings to depth OF
800 meters showed the Gulf stream
still warm.
Great masses Of ice have been re-
placed by moraines Of earth ana
stones, while at many points we'll
known. glaciers have disappeared
Very few seals and no white fish are
being found in the eastern Arctic,
while vast sheals of herring ana
smelts, which never before have ven
tured so far north. are being encoun-
tered in the old seal-fshing grounds.

A newspaper that was not making
expenses decided to economic, and
accordingly two reporters and spe'
cial writer were dismissed. The ether
employees became nervous with the
execution of one man who showed no
symptoms OF uneasiness. He worked
il what was known as the art depart

no qualms as to the stability OF his

AUTOMOBILE HERE TO STAY
Foolish to Compare X to Popular
"Crazes" That Merely BlooTed
for a limo.

eff the automobile craze continues,
ureried Man Who Loves to Talk.
"what will we do for roads for the
cars to run on? Just now all the
main roads arGand the city are usen
to capacity on nice Sundays, and it Is
common knowledge that downtown
streets are so jammed at times that a
man can walk on the sidewalk faster
than q car can travel in the street.
Shall we have to double-deck our
streets?"
Possibly" replied the Man Who Re
members. "But the use of automo-
biles is not a craze. 1t is too endur'
ing for craze. The roller-skatlns
epidemic that swept the country IN the
middle eighties was craze. Remem-
ber how rinks sprang up in every
town? Bicycle riding ten years later
was q craze. The Williamsburgh
bridge was built while it was at IT'S
height, and plans for the bridge cailed
for a space devoted exclusively to
bikes, but the craze passed before the
bridge was completed.
"Ping-pong was craze that olooinea
in the morning and died at night
though while it lasted there were
ping-pong clubs, tournaments and con-
tests. But baseball, politics and the
motorcar are not crazes. They are In
stftutions.''-New York Sun.

Ancestors Worth Boastins About.

For about an hour man from Den

"You seem mighty proud ov thin

"You bet I am" replied the man
from Denver. "And 1 ought to be,

The Irishman thought this over Tor
a few moments and then asked, Did

and felicitates them, but she does not
want to be left out of the picture
when the record is being made up of
the work done in the state during the
week.
And then on Friday the various
clubs and organizations of the town
undertook to send committees to all
the schools and to talk about equal
opportunity for all the children re-
gardless of their residence. 1t was a
little gloomy on Friday morning and
some of the committee failed to to go
but a good many did make the
rounds. We are sorry that all OF
them did not go, but the fine record
Of Tuesday and the many who went
Friday is evidence of the interest the
people of Newberry county are TAX
ing in education Of the youth of the
county, and we believe that it means
a whole lot for the betterment of the
schools of the county, and especially
will this campaign have a good influ-
ence in arousing the people of the
rural districts to see to it that their
children have an equal opportunity
with all the other children.
Now, Mr. President, this is not said
IN any spirit of envy, but we are Just
little jealous that Newbery shall
not be left cut of the picture or fail
to receive credit where credit is due.

HOW ABOUT NEwBERRY?

This question is addressed to Coi,
Rion McKissick, editor of the Green
vile Piedmont, and also president o.
the educational conference of South
Carolina. And because we see IN the
Piedmont list of number Of coun-
ties and what they did for the cause
of education during National educa-
tion week, and we do not see the
mention of the work and the lnteres-
that Newberry took in the proper o.
servance of the week, and the carry
ing of the message to the children
and the people of the county.
We did not undertake to have
a central rally on Saturday or (
big rally at any place, nor did we IN
Avite any speakers from abroad to de-
liver addresses. But we cd arrang2
schedule by which the message and
the cause was taken to every school, L:
the county or two days Of the week
And what other county had a locs'
post of the American legion that pre-
sented to every school in the county
United States flag and appointed q
committee from the legion and tn
auxiliary that presented the flag 70
the school and explained the use o.
z the flag and the salutes and the
meaning? This was done in this couE-
ty on tuesday and every school IT
the county was visited that day by 4
committee representing the iegio7
and the flag was presented and talk
were made by the committees, and
every school, mind you, every schocl
in the county, from the one teacheE
right on up to the high was treated
in the same way and presened a flag.
And in many of the schools the
speech of acceptance and apprecia,
ton of the thoughtful consideration
of the legion was made by pupil o.
the school, and the flag was thers
and the flag raised. We feel some
how that this in itself was a pretty
good achievement. What do yoo
think of it, NJ. President of ths
Southe Carolina conference on educa-
ton? Newberry is glad to hear o!
the good work in the other countie:

FRANK B. GARY

1t was a shock TO US when We heard
of the death of Judge Frank B. Ga
ry. We DID not know that he was
sick.
In his death not only the state has
loat an upright and able judge but
ore of her lest citizens. He had been
hcaored as few men. He was men,
ben of the legislature from his cour-
ty, speaker Of the house of represec-
tatives, United States senator an |
Judge of the circuit. In all these po-
sitiors he had measured up to the
full staturer of man. He was mod
est even to thS point of being timio.
!. and yet he never flinehed or Stunned
!, when duty called, but in gentle AMI
manly way he would measure up ,
the situation. The truth is, that type
of man is TIC one who can alway5
.stand the acid test. AS legislato'
he was always fair and just in HI
dealing with the many questions tina
came before the assembly. AS speak
er the members honored and respect
led him because shey could alway
have the feeling that his rulings were
guided by his high sense of what wa
right and fair, and as judge ne wa
kindly and considerate and his dec:-
sions were guided by justice, and II
his dealings with the criminal cias
were always tempered with mercJ
and a kindly admonition, but neVeS
swerving, from the path OF duty
It's a great thing to be able to &C.
life's story and
ssTo know that mud exists and mus
be seen,
But still to fill your life with what +
clean"
An this is what Judge Frank Boy
Gary was able to dc.
It's a very rare thing for three
brothers, and all the brothers OF on
family. to adorn the bench of thel
s.ate at the same time, and We doub. .
# there is another case in the history
Of any of the states, certainly not III
the annals of South Carolina, ane
one of them the highest position, tha:
of chief justice of the supreme corr
And all of them able jurists. Eugene
3. Gary chief justice of the supreme
court, Ernest Gary for many years q
circuit judge, and Frank 3. Gary a
circuit judge. 1t is record OF which
to be proud.
We have known the family foi,
many years and all. Of them are hissli
toned and honorable, and by the wa.
their forbears are from Newberry
county. To the brother and siste-
and the widow end the young son We
extend our tenderest sympathy, ou-
must remind them that ne has left 9
noble heritage Of which they have ::
right to be proud.

Of course DR.. Riggs is right in his
position in reference to foot ball in
colleges, not that he is opposed to the
sport. but it should not be the main
idea in our colleges, and it is pretty
near that. The only difference be-

agree with his position is that he had
the courage to come out and say it.
Many others have expressed the same

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

O. 8 . q q @ 8 % g @ 9 9 :. q
l am pleased that so many of the
committees that were to visit the
schools on Friday made the trip, de-
spite the inciemency of the weather
in the morning. Some Of them were
afraid to make the trip on account Of
colds and the prevalence of grip, and
IS il was purely a voluntary matter
no one has any criticism Of them, and
yet those who did go say they enjoy
ed the trip and would not have missed
the opportunity for anything. l do
rot know at this writing just which
groups of schools did not have visi-
tors. I vent with Miss Berrie to St.
Philips and Fork and we made brief
stop at Pomaria though That school
was not in the group for this route.
l was glad to learn that Senator Alan
Johnstone 81, 2 couple ladies made
, this rcr,tn. We went on as far as
Centra: - Cerrie had to be
back in New5erry by l O'Clock, we
had to leave out Red Knoll and Peak
which I regret, but l am going down
that SIDE before Christmas. Miss
Hortense Woodson from The Herald
and News office went along. Mr.. Moo
ney of the Friday Motor company
kindly furnished and drove the car
for us. The roads were mudd! and
slippery and no doubt. it would have
been bad travelling down around Red
Knoll any way.
feel that the two days the
friends of the schools gave to a trip
to them will be of great help to the
cause of improving s"hool conditions
in the rural commun. 5, and will be
the cause of giving encouragement to
the people as we'll as the children and
be helpful in many ways, and de.
sire in behalf of the children in these
rural communities to extend thanks
to them for the visits and the interest
thus manifest.
