THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
/> Mr. Chas. P. Barre, \\1' o was ap- '
pointed county superintendent of edu-j
cation by the State board at its meet-)
ing? 011 Friday, is a fine and clever i
young man. He is a graduate of New
berry college and afterwards took the j
law course at the University of South
Carolina, and is now practicing law.
He never has Ciad any experience as a i
. school teacher or as the manager or [
a school except a iiuie worK ue uia
in the night schools at the mills dur-|
ing ir.e past winter. His profession is j
the lawfi for which he has prepared '
r.imseir ana wmcn ne expects iu mane
fhis life work. And which he will not!
f
?vv I
abandon and which he says he will not
abandon. He is bright and clever and
will ti:row energy and enthusiasm in I
the work for the schools.
I
The State board gave 110 public j
notice of the meeting that was held on j
Friday. Mi^ 'Wheeler, who f:ad been
an applicant, had,intended to withdraw
his application inasmuch as fce
has accepted the position he now holds
for another year, the board of trustees
very wisely naving given mm an m-1
crease in salary. Mr. Aull, who bad j
been an applicant, desired to file with
the board an endorsement from a majority
of tJae trustees of the county, not
with a view of receiving the appointment,
but to refute the charge which
- - _ _ V ll. _
me neara some memoer 01 me ouiie:
Iward had made, that the board would
*
stultify itself to reappoint him, he
having been defeated by the people
and was inefficient. "Wlien Mr. Aull
heard on Friday afternoon that the
t board was1 to meet, ihe wired Mr.
Swearingen that he desired to file the j
endorsement above referred to, and hey
went to- Columbia and did so. He had
the endorsement of tl-irty-five or fprty
t of the school districts, and could nave,
/ .had more if there had been time to see
the trustees, but he realized that even
if Ibe had had the endorsement of
every man, woman and child in Newberry
"he would not "have been appoint-!

\ the endorsements as a justification of
^ !'
his record. He appreciates very much
the endorsement given him by the
trustees of tfte county and prizes it I
more man ne can say.
jslpf j
Mr. Barre, as stated, is a clever
young man and we havfe assured Hum
privately, and do so now publicly^of1
our hearty co-operation with him in
any way that we may be able to help j
him and tfce schools of Newberry coun- j

that (he will do so at the expense of '
the school system of the county. There
is a-whole lot of buncombe in all this (
talk about ar'man giving his wfrole
time to the job and it being a man's j <
job. Of course it is a man's job, but j
tibere are some people we could name j[i
who if they gave thirty-six hours a j

to the schools as some others who <
fey- r

will do all we can to make the schools

; We understand upon reliable mfor.
mation that Supervisor Sample has j
agreed to pay the farmers for using
'the split log drag upon roads trav-;
* j eled by the rural carriers upon ap- j
provai or the work by the carriers, i
That is a fine arrangement. These j
roads should have first attention because
tfte continuance of the service
depends to some extent upon the condition
of the road. In addition to that
the carriers are entitled to a passable
road. The rural delivery of the mail j
is one of the best, if not the best, j
things that the government laas done
for the people as a Whole. We wonder
then why Mr. iW. G. Peterson does not
have the Longshore road from the city
limits at least to t&e railroad at Mr.
,
f
James Henderson's dragged? This
road had some good work aone on it
by Mr. Chappell, and if it were dragged
regularly it would now be a good
road. "Wlien the work on that hill was
first done the road was bad after each
rain, but as it is packed and dragged
the road will bp made s:ood and e i
benefit of this work will be mainifest.
It needs dragging bad just now.
I
We notice that garbage pile is still j
at Scott's creek, on the longshore j
roau. It does seem tnat the city could |
find seme convenient and less conspic-'
uous place to dump its garbage. T::at J
is one of the leading roads coming into ;
tiie city and t! -is pile of garbage makes i
a very ugly sight, not to speak of the '
other objectionable features connected i
with it. We understand that Dr. Gilder ,
owns the land on which the duirp is I
i
made, and it would seem tJ .at he would
\
object to it being made a garbage,
pile.

"THE FORTUNE OF WAR.*
"
The sinking of the Lusitania is a'
fearful thing. The loss or twelve hundred
lives is terrible to contemplate, j
But it is just what the captain of the j
vessel said: "It is the fortune of war." j
Old Sherman gave a good definition of I
war and t':at definition stands good
today. "War is hell." Ana you can't |
make anything else out of it. What |
do people go to war for except to kill'
i
one another. There is no such t'aing 1
as civilized war. There is nothing
civil about it. It is butcnery and barbarism
and does not belong to civilization.
It is tfce brute force in us'
holding sway and dominion.
The people who went on that ves- j
sel, whether American or otherwise,'
went on there with knowledge of what
they might expect. If tfoey were not
willing to take the risk they should !
not have gone aboard. It was a bel-i
ligerent ship?a ship of one of the^
? I
warring nations and Germany had /
given fair notice to at she was going j
to do the thing if she had the oppor- \
. I
tunity, and as we see it she had <he >
riorV^f 4 A Klnnr fViA 44- ?* /sw. ?
cv/ wxun lUC 1,^1115 111 tu aiuiili.
The vessel was loaded with ammunition
to supply the enemy to kill the
Germans, and it is part or war for
Germany to destroy ti':at which was'
intended to be used to destroy her, if
s'be had the opportunity, and those;
Americans who were oil there had
fair warning what to expect, and if ^
they got tJieir medicine they should
take it like men.
What right 'bad Americans on an;!
enemy's ship if they did not expect to
receive the same treatment that would 1
be given the enemy?
It is just like the captain said. "It
is t!:e fortune of war."
We know that there are a great1,
many people who will not agree with
us in the position here taken, and we
suppose our opinion will count for j1
very little, but it is our privilege to j
express it and we have done so.
We notice that the government at'
Washington is very muda puzzled and j i
that Mr. Roosevelt thinks that we |
oV? ^ ?-?V? ? *
tiuuuiu iigii l. i w ^ are sorry ior tnose ,
Americans who lost their lives on this !
s!:ip, but when they took passage on H
one of the belligerent s'bips and in the ,
face of the notice which Germany had *
given, and that ship carrying munitions
of war for one of the belligerent
nations, tfcey took their lives in their (
own keeping and the rest of us should ;
not be expected to go into war on that
account. "It is the fortune of war."
Columbia is having "get together"
meetings and the Record says they are
resulting in much good. The plan is J
to can a meeting at the hotel and j *
feose who attend say so, and a dinner j
is served and each man pays his part j
of the cost, and tf:en they have round!
t
table talks on matters pertaining to
the good of the town and some one !
makes a special speech. The plan is
a good one in more ways than one.
We do not get together socially enough
in this day. "We live too mimn to
selves, or try to, and do not know even
our next door neighbor except in a
business and commercial way.
How would it do to 'have a "get tog-pfll
AT*" mootinff i r> ? *
? iu ncwuerry: uniy I
have those who wanted to come. Let
it be purely voluntary. Emphasize the
social side firsfc and then when we
came to know each other better, and
found that tf:ere was something good
even in the worst of us, we might be- j
gin to talk about matters for the gen- !
eral welfare. We only make the sug-;
gestion. The movement should be
' '
headed by some of our leading business
men and financiers. It is worth
while thinking about. A good way to'
reac'b ti:e heart and the pocket of some
I
of us is through the intestinal chan-i
nels. A little something to eat puts
some of us in a better fram of mind.
Let the feed part be inexpensive.

GARMASY SCHOOL HOUSE.
We visited the wreck at what was
once Garmany school house. The days
of miracles have passed, otherwise it
would seem a miracle'how anv of the
children or t':e teachers escaped with

out without even a bruise. The tead>

v One side of t:e house fell broadside
on the ifioor of the building and is
there now. It is possible that the
desks which I:eld the weight of the
side of t'ne building is wnat saved

The main track of the wind seems
to have been about one hundred yards
from the building, and it is toe opinion :
of those who saw the storm tin at it
=was the suction of the whirl wind that
pulled the house over and t):at unKorr?

it from its foundation. Trees were
I
torn up by the roots and the leaves
on the shrubbery were cut to* pieces.
The young cotton and the oats were
twisted off whim gives force to the
theory that it was the wihrling or
strong suction of the wind which drew
the school house over.
It must have l:ad a terrible and almost
irrestible force. One of t&e pine
trees near the building naa a piece
driven straight into at about fifteen!
feet from the ground iust as if vnn
had driven a wedge in there. Mr. j
Shealy says there is about a wagon j
load of the boards from the building I
in tl:e pines about a mile distant and
his field is strewn with pieces of plank |
and debris from the builarng.

was hearing a recitation or teaching
a class at the time when she found i
! erself after the wind passed still held I
her watch and book in her ihand and '
some of the children who were at the
blackboard and who ran to Mr. Shea- !
ly's still held to tl:e caalk erasers that
they had in their hands at the time j
the storm came. Along with the wind, i
it must be remembered there was a
terrible downpour of rain.
Every one is thankful tftat it was
no worse and that no lives were lost.
The trustees carried some fire insurance
on the buildine- hut rin ?tnrm tn_ I
surance. It was only last year that
another room was added to the building.
A new building will be erected.
The school term was nearly out for
this term.

TORNADO DO^S DAMAGE
TO PLACE OF J. A. SHEALY
The tornado wuich demolished Gar
many school house on Friday afternoon
struck Mr. J. A. Shealy's property,
doing considerable damage thereto.
Mr. Shealy lives within 300 yards
of t':e school. A large pine tree was
pulled up by/tee roots and carried
about twenty steps, falling across his
field. A tree was also blown down on
his hog pen, crippling two hogs. The
storm blew his cotton and oats flat,
blew his crip and gear house off the
blocks and nearly unroofed 'his barn,1
moving the building six inches off the
pillars. He says about a wagon load
of splinters from the wrecked school
house w^s blown into iMs field.
