Friday and Saturday as l announced
in the last paper I did not go down
until Friday morning, leaving New
berry about $50 and recalling Co.

gym. The meeting was preceded by a
basketball game between the Bob
Whites and che ninth grade team. The
ninth grade won by the narrow mar
gin of 8 to 8. The meeting was op-
ened with roll call, which was follow
ed cy scripture reading and prayer.
The troop was formed in extended
formation and the scoutmaster gave
setting up exercises. After the exer-
cises a game of "Scout baseball" was
played, followed by some songs which
gave rise to the alarming thought
that some of our members will GER
tainly be copped by the grand opera
companies. A snake dance topped
off the grand an glorious occasion,
where in Wolves, Bob-Whites, Foxes,
and Flying Eagles intermingled with
out fear of eating each other, or Of
being eaten up. This mysterious rite
Icing performed, the troop was dis
missed.

When we commented upon ana
commended in a recent issue the stand
faken by Senator Johnstone as to inc
legislature being in session on Sun
day the only information we had
about the matter was that which ap-
naared in the daily newspapers.
Since then we have had the prlvl'
,eee of reading the journal OF the
bonse of representatives and we are
o,.d TO find recorded therein the fact
that Representative Eugene S. Blease
also took the position against Sunday
LEGISLATION. Mr.. Blease was men,
her OF the very important commiVtee
IF free conference on the approprl&-
+;on hill and could not be in the house
=, Saturday night. He announced
however. that he favored an adjourn
,oant until Monday. After the house
refused to adjourn and met on Sun
dav to receive and act upon the re-
mort of the conference committee MI,
Anderson of Florence county moved
to adjourn till Monday morning.
Messrs. Blease and Buckingham O.
Aiken spoke in favor OF this notion
but it was lost. In statement mace
nv Mr.. Blease which the house haa
recorded in it's journal he repeated ms
nosition that he was opposed to legls-
iation on Sunday.
We also note from the house jour
nal that there was quite strong SEN
timent in that body against Sunday
sessions. There were three motions
on Saturday night to adjourn over
to Monday and while none OF the mo-
tions carried on every vote there was
a strong showing in favor OF the mo-
tons.
We believe that the efforts MADE
3v Senator Johnstone, Representa-
tive Blease and others to do away
with the Sunday meetings of the gen.
eral assembly will bear fruit IN the
future even if such efforts were OF no
avail at the recent session.

There are some persons who are
complaining that the city water has
a bad odor and bad taste. We sug-
eest that the matter be referred to
the health unit of the county and that
an order be issued to have the wells
cleaned out. We have not observed
ANYTHING wrong with the water though
there may be in places, and then II
NAV be due to our defective and un-
+ra;n ;ned sense of odor and taste.

CONES PRIVATE ARGUMENT

More than fifty years ago Sidney
I,anier, Georgia's honored poet Vo'c-
ed the attitude of the cotton farmers
in the following lines:

Ho,d swear with hundred signs ana
groans,
That farmers must stop gittln ioahS'
And cit along without 'em.
Ths4 bankers, warchousemen and sleh
Was fatt'nin' on the planter
And Tennessy was rotten-rich
A-ra;sin' meat and corn, all which
Draw'd money to Atlanta.
And the only thing (says Jones) 10
do
1s cat no meat that's boughten,
But tear up every /. o. U.
And plant all corn and swear for true
To quit a-raisin' cotton
Thus spouted Jones (whar folks could
hear,
At court and other gatherin's),
And thus KEEP spoutin' many a year,
Proclaimin' loudly far and near
sich fidd!esticks and blatherln's.
But one alfred sweatin' day,
It happened was hoein'
Nv lower corn-feld, which it lay
Longside the road that runs my way
Whar can see what's goin.'
And a'ter twelve o'clock had come
1 felt kinder faggin',
And laid myself un'neath a plum
To let my dinner settle sum,
When long come Jones's waggln.
And Jones was sittin' in it, so,
A-readin' of a paper.
His mules was goin' powerful slow,
Fur he had tied the line onto
The staple of the scraper.
The mules they stopped rod
From me, and went to feedln
'Longside the road, upon the sod,
But Jones (Which he had tuck tod
Not KNOWN, kept a-readin'.
And presently says he: gifts true
That Clisby's head is level.
Thar's one thing farmers all must &C.
To keep themselves from goin' tew
Bankruptcy and the devil!
"More corn! more corn-nust plant
less ground,
And mustn't eat what's boug!i.en!
Next year they'll do it: reascnln'

(And cotton will fetch bout dollar
pound),
Tharfore, I'll plant all cotton"

! Being from Newoerry it was real
ly gratifying to me to hear so many
nice things said about at least two
of the representatives in the le.;isla-
ture from Newberry, and to have
them given so much credit for saving
the schools Of the state. l heard sew
eral of the school men and others say
that Representative Eugene S. Blease
made the finest fight for the common
schools and the children that had ever
been witnessed in the house. He lost
to some extent in the fight in the
house, but he made a manly fight.
When Mr. Binnicker, l believe that is
the name, criticized Speaker Akin
SON for appointing Mr.. Blease, law
yer, on the free conference comm t
tee, Speaker Atkinson asked to make
| a statement as a matter of personal
privilege, and he said the reason he
appointed Mr.. Blease on the commit
tee he did so because of the fine fight
he made to save the common schools
of the state, and that Mr.. Blease rep
resented his views on the subject and
that under the rules it was the right
and the custom to have one represe:l-
! tat.ve Of the minority sentiment on
the free conference committee Of the
house and he appointed Mr.. Blease
as that representative for the fine
fight which he made. And then all
the school men recognized the extra
fine fight made by Senator Johnstone
over in the senate and on the finance
committee for the schools, and it was
largely through his efforts that the
schools were cared for and increased
n the senate, and Mr.. Blease being on
the free conference committee car
ried the fight there, and it is due
largely to the strong and intelligent
fight put up by these two representa-
tives from Newberry that the schools
of the state were saved in this crisis.
That is the opinion openly expressed
on all sides by the school men at this
meeting, and as the daily papers IN
the reports of the legislature never
gave them credit for what they did,
I feel that the people of Newoerry
county, who sent them to the legisla-
ture, should know how the school men
of the state feel about it. l am glad
to do it. They could not have waged
4 battle in better cause, and ! an
proud that they did and was pleased
to hear so many good things said
about them by intelligent and patri-
otic people. 1t would have been a
calamity equal to and greater than
the boil weevil if provision had not
been made by the legislature to take
care Of the children of the state, es-
pecially after the state had agreed to
do it. Representative Kibler was
present and always voted right on
schools. take it Mr.. Counts did also.
In this connection l am going to
quote a few paragraphs from circu-
lar just issued ~ the state superin-
tendent giving the ten different items
Of the appropriation bill relating to
state aid for the schools OF the state.
This gives the amount TO each and
when it will be disbursed. The in

paving ends and the road is plowed
up and the paving going on and the
travelling is not so good from there
to the river. and from the river out
to the paving from Columbia the road
is not so good, either, but it will not
be so long before the work on this
section will be completed and then the
travelling to Columbia will be fine.
Somehow l am still of the opinion
that l had rather travel or drive over
the top soil road than over the paved
road, and the road from Chaplin to
Ballentine is as fine a piece of road as
there is in the state. It could scarce
ly be better.

The meeting was a good one. All
the teachers seemed to be bright and
cheerful and looked as if they were
well cared for and interested in their
work. l was pleased to see large
number of the teachers of Newberry
county present at the meeting. al
ways feel that meetings of this kind
are helpful and that those engaged IN
the same work and especially the
great work of teaching the youth, can
get great deal of benefit from such
a meeting even if they do not hear
lecture, the contact with others in the
same work is always helpful to those
engaged in it. And then several OF
our teachers took advantage of going
the day before and attending some
of the class rooms of the city of Co.
lunlbia schools and observing the
work in thes schools.

There was possibly the largest at
tendance at this meeting of the
teachers in the history of the associa-
ton. There must have been at least
1000 present. Treasurer Black stat
ed that there had been 1927 women
and 430 men making a total 1850 who
registered, and there are always some
who do not register. 1t was good
meeting. The different departments
held separate meetings and really l
only attended the general meetings,
but felt repaid in hearing DR.. Phil
lips discuss athletics and Mr.. Swear
ingen tell of the legislative appro o2r.a-
tions and make the statement that
the schools had been pretty we'll cared
for by the legislature. The only two
items in which there may be a deficit
when it comes to state are the ones
for the needy schools and for build
ing operations. Of course the legis-
lature should have provided sufficient
funds t. meet the demands that are
brought forward from the various DIS
tricts that have complied with the pro-
visions and conditions of the acts of
the legislature itself, but under a.! the
conditions I suspect the schools even
should be satisfied that it now appears
that the high schools, the rural grad
ed schools, the term extension schools,
the vocational and training schools
and the elementary grades of high
schools are apparently so well taken
care of. Under all the circumstances
and conditions the legislature did
mighty well.

Scouting as a Point of Contact IN the
Sunday School

! Scouting as a Point Of Contact IN the
Sunday School
New days, new ways to line up boys
for the church. Twenty years ago
alert pastors and superintendent of
Sunday schools had picnics for the
boys and girls and in various, unor-
ganized ways did their best TO keep
the young people definitely in touch
with the work of the church. But
consecrated Christian men of broad
vision have become increasingly
aware of the great leakage and have
devoted their lives to the problem Of
stopping the outflow and to find some
means of tying up the interests Of
these young people-of boys rartic-
ularly, because the leakage was
greater among them-to the widen
+ ing field of church activity.
Twelve years ago the Boy Scout
movement was launched in America.
General Sir Robert S. S. Baden-Pow-
ell, the hero of Mafeking, famous
siege of the Boer war, returned to
England after the cessation Of hostil-
tiles to build up the physique, the
morale, and the ideals of British
youth. He appropriated the basic
lines for the formation of the Boy
Scout movement from some American
bow workers, and afte~ he had made
a phenomenal success in reaching the
youth Of Britain in the interests OF
God, the church and the king, the
movement was transplanted to Am
erica, at first fostered by the helpful
and active Young Mems Christian as
soc:ation, and later, when it had
gained sufficient impetus, made inde-
pendent of any other movement. From
that time to the present, scouting in
America has made tremendous head
way among all classes Of people. All
denominations prominent in Amer:-
can religious life have seen the great
possibilities in scoutcraft for con-
serving the ideals of the Christian
life and for their concrete application
in the every day living of weekday
life.
How can the busy Sunday school
superintendent or pastor use the scout
movement as a supplementary means
of extending the principles Of Christ
and the message of the gospel into
the lives of the boy? The winning Of
the boy to Christ is the hrst big oD-
jective in the work of the evangelical
Sunday school,; the second is the sys-
tematic, constant teaching of the BIZ
BILE. Upon these two objectives the
work of the Sunday school is based.
What else is to be done in the way
of identifying the interest of church
boys with the church is of no less in
terest, and is, perhaps, the most I'M
portant of the several supplementary
activities of the Sunday school. Pas
tors and superintendent of Sunday
schools where there are no supplement
tary activities to conserve boy-power
see their boys drift away and in many
cases are unable, through the pres
sure of other church duties, to go
after them.

Milton Blura Given Damages in
Suit Against Taxicab Company,

Because his face was disfigured and
he was otherwise injured when struck
by a taxicab of the Terminal Taxicab
Company on Union station plaza.
November 10. 1920. Milton Blum was
against the company by a jury in Or-
cult Division 2 late yesterday after
noon. The case had been on trial two
days and the jury deliberated over the
verdict several hours.
The company moved to instruct a
verdict in its favor at the conclusion
Of the testimony for the plaintiff on
the theory that no negligence had been
shown and that the plaintiff was
guilty Of contributory negligence. It's
counsel also claimed that the mere
happening Of the accident did not i'm
pute negligence to the company's
chauffeur and offered no testimony
after Justice Hoehling had refused to
grant the motion and left the case to
the jury.

plaintiff, while the company was de-
Tended. BY Attorneys q. Thomas Dun
