WALLACEVILLE
We are sure getting some good
roads in No. 11, but it will be impos
sible to use the one to Columbia for
a while as Ashley's bridge has been
broken in by a very heavy truck load
ed with timber. Why not build a con
crete bridge in place of the rather
shabby one that we have so that every
thing will correspond.
Could anybody want any nicer
weather ? I don't believe they could
and if everybody doesn't get grain
sowed, corn planted and gardens they
need not lay it on the weather.

1 HAPPENINGS OF INTER
EST OVER THE STATE.
Milk From the Finest Herd of Regis
terd Stock to Be Found In
the Country.
Greenwood.-Owning a dairy that is
msqualed by any in this section, and
& hard of thoroughbred Guernsey cat
.e whose value the owners will not
even estimate, the Ware Shoals Manu
tacturing company is selling milk to
its employee at a financial loss in or
Ser to protect- the health of the citi
zens of Ware Shoals and in order that.
clean, wholesome milk may be within
reach of every ctitzen of that town of
1,000 inhabitants.
"Our aim Is to protect the health of
our citizens and to take care of our
future citizens," James F. MacEnroe,
treasurer of the Ware Shoals Manu
fgettfring company, explained to a
newspaper man a few days ago." We
lose money on the dairy, but we don't
feel that it is money wasted," he con
tinued, explaining that wagons- deliv
ered pasteurized whole milk to the
homes of Ware Shoals twice each day
at 15 cents per quart.
The Ware Shoals Manufacturing Co.
started its dairy in 1916, and since
that time the herd of thoroughbred
Guernseys has grown from a small
nucleus to 77 cows and five bulls.
Some of the best Guernsey blood in
America flows in the veins of the
Ware Shoals cows. The sire of Grand
Raider, one of the bulls owned by
John McCormack, and is a prized
member of the singer's herd. The
sire of Ultra Select, one of the Ware
Shoals cows, sold for $30,000. The
sire of Administration's Appia sold for
$10,000 before he was born, When
Lallina Gypson was eight years ol'd
she produced eight gallons of milk per
day. She is now 18 and is still pro
ducing four gallons per day, Teksa
Heroine produced 605.58 pounds of but
ter fat last year at the age of 3%, i
within 1S pounds of the world's reOdOA
for Guernseys.
Many of the surplus bulls of the
Ware Shoals dairy ar given '
* itrhe
proved by the influx of good blood.
York *oeds In W40ng dOift 1fiftee
York.-That York is leading all the
other counties of South Carolina in
'the drive to wip-e out illiteracy among.
adults is the gratifylig inforrhatida
disclosed by the report of Miss Will
Lou Grayson, supervisor of this branch
of instruction for the state department
of education. Yorkhad 1,180 adult
pupils during the last scholastic year,
against 1,049 for Spartanburg, York's
earest competitor. York's lead is
more impressive when it Is known that
Spartanburg's white population is
about twice that of York.
Other counties that made a credit
able showing in the number of adult
pupils were: Horry, with 774; Rich
land, 623; Greenville, 607; Colleton,
444; Oconee, 413; Alken, 410; George
town, 409; Greenwood, 381.
The number of schools taught dur
ing the year was 381, with 524 teach
ers employed and an enrollnient of 10,
447, the average attendance being 6,
882. During the year 2,861 pupils were
taught to read and 3028 to write. The
total amount expended by the state
or salaries was $30,394.
According to Miss Gray the results
of the work cannot be shown In cold
statistics but are seen In the more en
lightened citizenship of the pupils,
with their higher aspirations and
Ideals. Her report shows that in 1900
South Carolina's percentage of Illit
eacy was 35.9, against 18.1 today.
New Cotton Mifl For Giwat Falls.
Cheter.-It was announced that a
1ew 1.000-loom textile manufacturing
plant will be built at Great ?alls, in
Chester county, shortly. The machin
ry has been bought and coinstructionl
work will be launched Immediately.
This will give Great Falls Its third
textile manufacturing industry. At
present it has two plants, known as
the- Republic Cotton mills, operating
54,848 spindles and a battery of 1,320
looms.
The new plant will be one of the
most modernly equipped textile plants.
When the third mill is completed it
will have a 2,320-loom capacity.
It has been rumored for over a year
that a new mill would be erected and
news that a third plant was to be
built has been expected for some
time.
Gray Cotton Mill Sold.
Sprtanburg.--The W. S. Gray Cot
tn mills, located at Woodruff, 19
miles south of Spartanburg, in Spar.
tanburg county, were sold to a syndi
cate composed of H. A. Ligon, Sr..
H. A. Ligon, Jr., of Spartanburg, and
M. R. Reaves, of New York city, the
amount Involved being between $600,.
000 and $700,000. Announcement of
the sale was made, by the A. M. Law
company, local stock and bond brok
ers, which firm handled the deal. The
W. S. Gray compgany was organized
In 1907 and is caiized at $580,000.

BETHEL
Mr. Editer: We are not dead yet if
we have not been heard from lately.
Good roads vote on this side of the
world went over the top with a whoop.
'The total vote stood 5 to 1 but here it
was 50 to 1. We shall have the roads
now soon. The vote makes us glad
a:nd the road will help our feelings.
Farm work moves forward. Grain
is beginning to greet the glad eyes
of all who look out upon the hills.
Truly from a material as well as a
spiritual stand point, "we look to the
hill from whence came our help. Our
help comes from the Lord who made
heaven and earth. We are never more
sure of that than when we look on the
church. Think of the little band of
faithful followers at Bethel, 117, in
number and having raised over $1400
this year for all purposes. The Sun
day school has an enrollment of 160,
grdedx from first to last. It wa.z
mentioned on the Conference floor at
Gaffney as the banner school of the
(dpper South Carolina Conference.
Think of this school with its women
and men ani children and its ladies.

systematie way. The Rev. R. E.
Sharp who has been the pastor of
Fairfield circuit for four years goes
to Prosperity to begin his work in a
new field. He will there preach each
Sunday in one place. He can better
conserve his forces than to be absent
some Sundays.
The Rev. A. Q. Rice will occupy this
field the coming year. He is a charm
ing man of splendid family and will
do a good work here in this charge.
We must cordially commend him +o
the hearts of these Fairfield people.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you will come
down we shall set you up to a nica
chicken. Chicken and brains will wo
pretty well together. If you have
not the one you certainly have the
other.
We love Fairfield. We love Bethel
Cedar Creek, Monticello, and Shiloh
churches and all the rest. We are
truthful when we say we love even
to the "littlest one of them all."
MOSSY DALE
Looks like the devil is right around
my place all the time. The hogs have
begun to break out and Beskham 's
sows stay on my oats every Sunday,
and old Grey has learned the combin
ation of the barn lock, and my dog
is -never here -when efe is -needed, and
I can't run after things as well as 1
used to could. If I call my boy to lielp
me he will go to singing of a "hime",
just to tempt me. If I use any "on
becoming" language he will run to the
Stewarts or to the Beckhams and tell
them about it-I don't know what in
the thunder to do. Sometimes I feel
like taking my potatoes and leaving
from about here.
One other source of annoyance is
that Mrs. Mossy Dale has a sister~
who married a preacher. My wife is~
forever saying something about how
good he is and how nice he is to his
wife, so I have to run myself nearly
to eath trying to be good like that
preacher. I low sometimes that I
wish he would forge a check or steal
an automobile or something.
Talking about preachers, M. P.
Robertson said the other day as he
paid his last dollar on preacher's sal
ary-that there are so many causes
to be contributed to that he would
have to stay away from church and
try to serve his God the best he couldj
without a preacher.

children have attended Greenbrier

Seized Vessels to b eReleased.
Washington.-ReleasS of ! orvgZ
vesseis seized outside the American
three-mile limit with liquor on board,
where there is no evidence of com
munication with the shore by means
of the vessels' own boats, was ordered
by Secretary Mellon.
The order was contained in instruc.
tions sent customs officials at New
York, in connection with the Britisb
auxiliary schooner M. M. Gardner,
seized September 13. According to
the official report, seizure of this ves.
sel was made outside the three-mile

there was no evidence that the vessel
was communicating with the shore by
means of her own boats or equipment.
"Under .these circumistances," thie
secretary's order said, "it is the desire
of the department of justice that all
foreign vessels so seized shall be re

INTERESTING WEEKLY NEY
FR
At the Carolina-Furman foot-ball
game in Columbia last Saturday, we
sat among the Carolina section of the
bleachers. At a critical point in the
first quarter, a student yelled, "give
'em hell, Carolina." It was not sur
prising that this lurid advice was
given for in a crowd of five thousand
people one is always in the near
neighborhood of a very vulgar fol.
The significant thing about It all was
the fact that nobody took any excep
tions to this particular idiot's langu
age. Perhaps five hundred men, wom
en and children were within sound of.
his blatant voice and not a single man
remirded the moron that he had for
gotten where he was. The time has
been in South Carolina when he would
in a surprisingly skilful manner have
been thrown over the back of the
bleachers.
But there was a still more sinister
significance in the ineident. The
ladies sitting Zroun-1 ,jere not all
shocked. They were aniused! Many
laughed, not one that we saw fluen
ed! And was not this just the rens
on that the men did not resent such
!ar.guage in the presence of women?
No man feels like rebuking another
when that other is merely amusing
the ladies! If women do not want
protection, men will not furnish it.
And herein is the danger of the so
called "feminist" movement-that
women will become rough and un
couth like men.
"As the husband is, the wife is,
thou art mated with a clown,
And the grossness of his ature
will have weight to drag thee down!"
Tennyson spoke >f man and wife, but
his poetry has a wider meaifng. Let
the barriers between the sekes be
torn away-as is being done-end
woman will assume man's rudeness,
not man woman's gentleness.

whidh is Mount Zion in that quart&r
of the district-decorated with fall
flowers the bronze tablet erected to;
the memory of the Mill's heroes
Lawrence Smith and Robert Wilson
who died in France. It was an im
pressive little ceremony. The myriad
wheels of the great mill stoped for'
five minutes while the school 'child
ren paid their tribute to the memory
of the two men who died that Amer
ica might live. Even big business is
learning that it has a heart. The
Winnsboro Mills is part of one of the
huge corporations of the country, but
it was not too big to forget what it
owed to men like Smith and Wilson.
It was not too big to take part with
little children in showing that Amer
ica still remembers the -men" who
paid the last full measure of devo
tion" to make the "world safe for
Democracy."
This week is test week. Another
month's work is being checked up.
Will not -the parents examine close
ly the reports that will be sent out
next week ? If your child has done
well, encourage him to keep it up.
If he has done ill, show him the er
ror of his wa'ys. Pay especial atten
tion to his deportment mark. There
may be some sexcuse for a bad record
as to work, but there -is none for bad
behavior. If .you see a four or five
on deportment, your child is mised
ucating himself. Conduct is, in a
genuine sense, more important than
books.
The girls of the High School have
their first basket ball game of the
season on ~Ihursday, going to Ker

we expect a victory-and what is
more confidently we expect good re

Mt. Zion may not win all her -games
but she means to keep and enhance
e- reputation for sportsmanship.
When boys and girls go off on trips,
they carry with them the good man

their town and their school. Guard
them every one, boys and girls. You
can not afford not to.
