Out of a class of twenty-six graduates
in the Abbeville hi^h school
aii but two have decided to en tor
.-?nllcb-e ar?H have spleeted the col
iefce. The two, one is undecided and
the- other says she is going to teach
school. That is a fine per centage.
We are told that the contractor has
moved the outfit on the road from
Chappells to the river and we suppose
the work has commenced and it
should not be near as long as it has
been before we have this broken link
in the road mended and we may be
traveling right along to Greenwood
over a fine road.
The books of registration have1
"bten distributed to the clubs so far;
as possible, and the people should remember
that if they desire to vote in
the primary they must enrol again
this year. The olcf registration does
not count. You must enter your
name on the books yourself and the
books1 should be in the hands of the
secretary of the club or the enrolling
committee. Every one who intends
nr PY-neets to vote in the coming pri
w - ffiiry
should remember that in order
to do so the name hiust be on the
I club book. The books were opened
oil Tuesday just gone and will close
on the last Tuesday in July.
Supervisor Joe W. Werts is doing
k fine piece of work that has long
fcsen needed on the section of Boun?!
crary s^eet along side the Baptist
church. It widens the street and then
it keeps it from washing and the
drains and curbing will not need
mending after each rain. We >rade
Ctfne but the authorities never could
an effort years ago to have this work
Tti rhirinc the lime Mr.
Munroe Wicker wa? street Noer, we '
thought the thing was fixed bir it was-;
ri&i. * ; ;
. Pity thd town does not place <?e- j
m&it curb along all the streets. It;
vrould be economy because when ore
was fixed it would not be necessary
to go back after each rain ?nd refix
if. The town of Whitmire put down
cement cuiios when they pu^ down

_If Mr. Leavell could just call thati
meeting of lot owners :n Rosemont j
and the meeting could be held on the
grounds so that every one could see :
for himself the condition we feel sure i
that the proper step3 would be taken'
*t once to make some improvements, j
'thai pavilion that we .spoke of as a 1
monument to the .soldiers if erected |
ill. the center of the grounds where,
,th*t old wooden shed new is would
tifurkfe a fine place to hold the meet- J
inf.
Since the big rain the other day'
the- driveways are surely nothing but
: ?r - i
ditehet and the weeds and the- brush
are taking possession of the greater j
part of the place: We do consider it j
a real pity that our people will not
take a little better care of this city
<*f the de3d. By a little cooperation'
arid sonfe good leadership we could
have a beautiful place. And the nec-,
es?ary money would be forthcoming
for the purpose.
?> AMONG THE SCHOOLS <S>
?
4^ <ft 4^ <$ <9> <$ .$> ^ <?>
Every now and then some one says
that I am taking too much space in
The Herald and News about the
schools, and then some one Will say
that too much apace is taken up about
the roads. Well, that may be correct,
but it seems to me that it all
depends upon the viewpoint of the
critic. And then too it may .be that
the manner of taking up this space
hasa great deal to do with it. Then,
b.ow nad then, we hear some one say
that when he comcs to that part of
the paper which deals with my comments
upon the schools that he just
skips it over. Then I have several
letters and a great many neople >>ay
that the first thin;? thvv look /or when
the paper comes is the section about
the schools. So after all it all depends
upon the viewpoint of the
reader and verifies the old saying
about there is no disputing about
tastes or something like that.
i
I mention this here to say that in
mv ooinion there are no lw<> more
vital and important pr >blerp;- before
the people of this day th^n education
of the children au i th? building
of good roads. And si long as I
sum editor of this paper and sjperintendent
of education the comments
among the schools wili be continued^
f f
i in the paper and those who think
i thore '< too muc h of it may do as li
have frequently remarked ar.d as
some of the reade*> t?.-!! me they do.
just fk:p over this column. Ii" The
Herald and News can help in even .he
smallest degree to create a sentiment
in favor of better schools and better
road.? I do not know any finer service
i: can render to this gen-r.vriou and
to the next and all su^vee-iing generations.
It may je as I ay thattho
column is not prone-iy conducted

Latter Day Prosperity
We've seen the time in days gone by
When folks were short of stuff,
But now with cash all buncoed,
We get 'bout half enough.
A dollar's worth a nickel,
A dime just 'bout a cent,
Our merchants have gone crazy,
And most of them "hell-bent.
i
Our biscuit stuff that used to cost
'Bout fifty cents a sack
Ha? riz till now we have to pay
Those fifty cents a snack.
i
t
With "fat back" up 'round thirty'
cents,
Sow-belly just as high,
It hurts my feelings just to stand
And hear store keeperi lie.
We!! have to leave off underclothes
And trust to outside rags
To hide our hides from skeeters
And bust-head scalawags.
We hope investigations
In cor.gres.- soon will cease,
When they get ail.that's in it,
Ar.d let us have r>ome peace.
Wh'le all those skinning flunkies
Have got us on the plod
They sit in Amen corners
And think they're fooling God. j
ilut watch cut, Mr..Skinner,
And watch your footsteps well,
And ;"!ee that all the toe-points
Are pointed straight to?Well,
Now if you don't believe ma,
Just keep on robbing fciks,
Ar.d some time you'll discover
I'm handing you no jokes.

emotion aroused by the thought of ,
the dead and the sight of the "red j

Mr. Rerrick assured France of the ,
deep friendship of the United States, ,
which though it might not prevent
disagreements and misunderstandings

"Verd"? .inri vaior are forever one

"Here blazed the spirit of
France. And so this medal, which I
give to this illustrious city, hallowed
by the sacrifices and courage of all
France, is a tribute from the whole
United States to all of France." {
M. Poincare recalled the thrill at
the conrng of the Americans, the
joy of their victories, the sorrow over
the'r dead, and expressed in glowing
terms the gratitude of France to America.
