The Jews in Newberry are expected
to raise for the Jewish Relief fund
$1500. There are not a groat many j (
Jews in Newberry, but those who are ;
here are among our best and mostj
patriotic citizens, and they never.',
turn a deaf ear to any appeal that is j
made for the many causes that are;
presented, and of course in this work j _
of raising the $1500 for Jewish re- '
lief the other good citizens of Newberry
who are not Jews will be glad1
to assist in raising the portion that i.
Newberry is expected to contribute, I
and we are sure these other good eit-j.
izens will be glad of the opportunity
+>? in this work. The appeal is;
WV ? ? _
urgent and the cause is one that;
should be appeal to every man and:;
woman with a human heart or a human
and humane instinct, and we are
sure that the citizens of Newberry
generally will be pleased to help in
this cause. j'
According to a report published in j

The trusie-es 01 t-ue v-ua^fciu.<
school district are putting up a school1 ^
house in the district for the negroes, ^
and the trustees of the Vaaghnville (
district are building a house for the ,
white children. The contract for
both buildings has been let to Mr. W.
B. King. Both buildings have been
started and the walls of both are up,
* XT.
and it is the purpose to nave inem
both ready for inspection by not laterj.
than May 15. p
I am giving them what help I can ,
in pushing the work. I was over ,
there on Friday and spent quite a
little while at the Vaughnville build
ing. They are putting up a brick
veneer building in this district, and
as I have before remarked in this ,
column, the plan is a little different .
from any school building that I have (
seen in the state, and I have a feeling
that it is going to be a model afT.rV,?/>Vi
mijnv hnildincs will be
tCl ,?r
erected. I had the plan approved by'
the state department of education be- i
fore undertaking to build it. It is'
built w'fch the view of being of service
as a community building as well
as a school """.ilding. Wa have four;
acres and the location and the
grounds are ideal.
I was over that side on Friday, as ;
stated, and I want to say a word
about the roads. The roai from
Newberry out to Silverstreet needs <
to have some attention, but I sup-1 (
pose as soon as the bridge over Bush
- J ?:ii .
river is completed xnen ne ruau wm
be kept better than it is now. The'
crossing at Bush river is l>ad, and it ;
does seem that even though that part
is soon to be abandoned, that a little
work on the west side of the river
could be well put in just now so that
there would not be danger of getting
"stuck" as you pass over. The road
from Chappells out to Vaughnville
has been worked and the bad place
just beyond Mr. Jahn's has been fixe!
so that you can drive over. And
Commissioner Martin has had a road
surveyed from Mr. J. Geddys Coats' .
place out to the Cross Hill road at the I
schcol house, and that will be opened ;
before long ana be a great convenience
to the people up there and a help
to the school. But that road from
Chappells to the Saluda river has not
been finished yet, and so far as I can
hear the contract has not yet been
advertised, and it is the most impo *tant
link up this side, as it is part of
the Newberry-Greenwood road'and is
dreadfully bad, though the cars are
traveling it. in iact nave to iravei
along this way. Wonder when the
federal government is gonig to advertise
the letting of the contract.
This is a mighty fine time to build a
road, and this is a- mighty important
link in the county to county highway
system of roads. Mr. Martin, and
Mr. Boulware, will you not hurry
J
them up just a little. We need this
road and need it now.
There is a little industry that is I
just starting at Chappells that is go-'
ing to develop into something worth-,
while for the farmers ot that section,
and that is the creamery industry. <
They are not going to build a creamery
up there, no, not that, but they
are going to find a market for their
:ream and they are going to produce
the cream. Mr. Cromley who operates
a small grocery store there has
agreed to accept cream from the farmers
one day in the week and to ship
it to the creamery at Greenwood, and
to attend to the weighing and taking
samples and shipping and collecting
and paying, and already, and they
have just started, and the farmers
have not put on any extra cows, Mr.
Cromley is paying out about $150
per month to the farmers who are
bringing their surplus cream. One
farmer who is milking only one cow
is now selling about $10 to $12 per
month of cream and has all the milk
and butter he needs for his own use,
and he had the one cow before he
began selling his cream. Another
who raised and sold $150 worth of
hogs from the surplus milk of his
farm is now selling the cream and
feeding just as many hogs, and they
are doing just as well, so what he gets I
for his cream is that much extra. At
present the farmers are only S3lling
what heretofore had been practically
wasted. And that is the way to solve
our economic and financial troubles,
utilize what has been thrown away
and this country will prosper. Now
these farmers and Mr. Cromley would
just as soon ship that cream to Newberry,
if we had a creamery to take
care of it and handle it. And in fact
many of the farmers between here
and Chappells and even up that far
rould bring their cream to Newberry
:>n the good road just about as conveniently
as they could take it to
Chappells. As I understand it the
farmers do not have separators but
simply skim the milk in the old fashioned
way, and of course the cream
is graded according to the butter fat
which it contains.
This is a little apart from the
schools, and yet it is not, because
the proper sort of education is that
that which will the best develop the
country and that will make the best
citizen, and that best citizen is the
one who knows how to conserve resources
which we have so abundantly
in this section of the world. To
make the citizen who will make the
'jest home maker and home builder
ind to build the right sort of home
the home maker must be contented
and if there is not at least a modicum
of success there can not be a great
ieal of contentment, and these come
when there is at least a fair return
for the labor expended.
The state superintendent of education
has sent the county treasurer the
money for the payment of the rural
graded school aid for the county, and
that has been paid in full. The following
schools were able to particiDate
in that fund this year. In order
to receive this aid there must be an
enrolment of forty in a two teacher
school and an average attendance of
Lhiity, and in a three teacher school
an enrolment of 75 and in a fou~
teacher school an enrolment of 100.
A two teacher school receives $200.
i:hree teacher $300 and four teacher
$400. The total for the county from
this source is $4,700.

We did not get as many of the
prizes for the school improvement
associations as I thought we would,
but we did well considering the number
of contestants, and I want to see
us do better the coming year. Many
of the associations did not organize
in this county until after March of
last year and the improvement association
year runs from March to
' -1 U 1 ~ +VlO
-VIarcn. we snoum nave <x
coming year for each association in
the county, and can have if the associaticns
will just bear in mind that
there must be a meeting: each month
and a report of the meeting must be
made. The people in charge of the
work consider this little prize of $5
as the most :mportant of all the priz
es, because just as I have frequently
said the greatest good we get fron
the association is r.ot so much th(
[ money we raise as the good anc
friendly spirit and interest in the
c.'-hnnl and the communitv that is ere
atcd by the organiziation, and foi
that reason I hope that every association
in the county will begin at oncc
and hold and report uz least one meeting
for each month during the coming
year, and rem sinner tha* "Hie
meetings must begin with March. The
prizes in this county this year

A BIRTHDAY
There are people who after they
reach forty do not have any more
birthdays until after they pass seventy.
Just why this is we do not know,
But Mr. John B. Bedenbaugh who is
now a little past forty adopted the
habit some years ago of having a1
least one birthday each year. I suppose
the custom started before the
fortieth birthday had come, at any
rate he keeps up the good custom oi
1 ? trftov o r* rj if

:s the occasion for the coming together
of his mother and brothers and
sisters in one family dinner at his
home, and he always has a few
friends apart from the immediate
members of the family.
It so happened that the birthday
this year was the fourth Sunday in
March. I suppose it comes about the
same time each year. John Back's
wife knows how to prepare a dinner
and how to serve it and the dinner o<n
this occasion was one that would have
satisfied the most critical epicurean
and it was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
I have had an invitation to a great
many of these annual dinners, but
have not had the pleasure of attend"
" '? '---i T J: J
mg ail 01 inem, ouu i uiu un Sunday
ana I took along in my car Mr.
Eugene S. Blease and Mr. Henry C.
Hollow-ay. This is the home town
of Mr. Holloway and it was an especial
pleasure for him to go among
the scenes of his childhood and youth,
When we reached Pomaria Mr. Holloway
suggested that we drive on down
to Mrs. Jas. Hope's place, and as Mr.
Blease had never been over this way
we drove down the road to the old
Columbia road in front of the res'
dence of Mrs. Hope. There were many
scenes that reminded Mr. Holloway
of the days when he hunted rabbits
and birds among woods or alon.q
the ravines and also when he plowed
a mule over the hillsides that remain
very much the same as they were in
the other days. I am sure that M*\
Holloway enjoyed the viewing of
thes.e scenes that reminded him of the
other days, not so long ago of course
because Mr. Holloway is still a very
young man, but then you know even
after a few years we all have a pleasure
in riding over and among the
scenes of the days that are gone.
We drove down the new road by
"Bethlehem church and St. Phillips
nd really this is the nearest way tc
Pomaria and when the road is completed
from Mr. Caldwell Ruff's the
distance will be even less-than it is
now.
There were several friends from
Columbia at the dinner and we all
had a very pleasant day together and
all joined in the wish that Mr. Bedenbaugh
might be able to have many
more birthdays.
Coming back Mr. Holloway rode
with Sheriff Blease and Mr. Blease
and I drove around by the Mt. Hebron
colored school that Mr. Blease
might see it and have the pleasure
of coming back another route. At
Rithardsonville we picked up Mr. T.
F. Kicharuson wno wameu lu gu tv
the county home, and this gave me an
opportunity to take Mr. Blease arounc
by another negro school which ha.'
recently been bu;lt at Mt. Bethel
Garmany district.
In going out this way we found 2
county truck in a ditch just beyonc
the Unity church and I came neai
getting "stuck'' in the same ditch ir
the effort to drive around, but fortunately
pulled out.
The road across from Pomaria t<
the old Excelsior school house on th<
Columbia road is in bad condition am
they say that Mr. Kinard has had n:
work done on this road for quite 1
while. I hope he will see the impor
tance of having this road worked up
It traverses a very thickly settled sec
tion and is the main way from Poma
ria out to Prosperity.
