We are in deed glad of this opportunity, while at the same t'me we realize it is no easy task. It was through the inter est and kindness of the" faculty of ou scnool that "we were encouraged to Uns work. Their purpose In doing this is to put Columbus High School in touch with the other schools " of the County and State so that it may be known what C H S is .doing -and what it stands fcr. We should like to get in close touch with all the other schools, their interest is our inter est, their cause ; is our cause. We are one band of workers striving toward the same great 'end," success. What is success? This is the point which the faculty of our school are emphasizing more than any other J1 t 1 yoim aiong tne educational line.- The definition, given for the word success by .the teachers of C H S means more than the passing cf the grades or the possession of a de ploma, it means knowledge applied. The practical side of education is of prime importance. Impracticable; knowledge of vhatever nature ehould be considered secondary matter, and as a whole I am glad to believe it Is It was a call to this important du ty that our teachers as they ever do, so promptly and gladly respond-5 ed. :. This is a work that we are absolut- ly unfamiliar with and we ask that the readers of Columbus High School Courier will please bear with our inexpert ence along this line.' We are but High School Students and will bi likely to make mistakes, but I am sure our readers will bear this in mind and gladly over look them. Another purpose is . that we may receive the full -benefit which always comes from workof thi3 kind. We are to learn the v value of initiative, of organization, and self expression. The ab lity to give out is more valua ble than the ability to take in and It is the former that we wish to de velop. We believe in cultivating aU sides of life if possible, but if some lines must" necessarily be neglected let it be the impracticable side, and may we Set that which will enable us to use wlat we have gained. It is an established fact that that which can not be applied with some degree of success to the actual duties of life isJ i impracticable knowledge that only gives a decree of satisfaction to the posessor and does not serve as a benefactor in an individuals useful ness. Knowledge must come first; but the application is more important It is not f much what you know, bu what you do that counts, not so much what you are able to see but what you are able to show somebody else, not so much what you can satis fy yourself with :'but the satisfaction ycu can give others, not so muct how you will be able to help yourseli but hrow you will be able to heir others is the things that count in life. We learn to do by doing. Our object is to "grow. , The purpose of this publication in short is this: the faculty of our school want tc give their best to their pupil. They have been striving hard to fit us th duties that are to involve JLVt themselves upon us when we Chool room out Into step the 11UUI " : world of service. They are teaching us that - with increase of knowledge comes an increase of ability and witht increase" of abilitycomes an in crease of responsibility, that it is not those who wave their graduating papers before the eyes of the world that are being called for and needed now days, but it is those who ; be deck this earth with trails of burning lights that . mark the daily walks or true men and women and as one has said, "Write their ; names on the hearts, of men." . " The Columbus High School , Senior Class is to be responsible for ' this page. We expect to fill it princlpaly with our own compositions. We are Its editors .and shall endeavor- to make ' it bcth as interesting and In (onnins a posaiblt). W; shall pW By The Senior Class Of High Schcol lisn among other things the general school and Current' Events.

' No business advertisements will be accepted by us. For such we refei you to the Polk County News. ; As spoksman- for the Columbm ' Highl School Courier I extpnd oui greatest thanks to the editor ol The Polk County' News for the use o this page, and hope that he ma) thereby add to the value of his pa Per. H W Hill Farming Farming is tilling the, soil. It maj be added also that good farming em braces some stock and poultry rais ing- We shall give it a wider mean i ing in the latter end of this chapter. Ordinarally when one speaks , oi farming we think of a ragged ignor ant poor human being out in the field, working using almost entirely human energy. Then about the next thing we think of is the weather, o: we might think of it at the same time if possible, and more often we think of it as being hot, the June sun up oyer head, we think of rain) days in which a farmer has to gc ! plodding through the mud, or we see' hjro as:;he goes through the cola w'nd as he holds his old flapped hat on nn xje?a to Keep i"e wjuu inui owing it off. All this is very dread ful to the street walker. Farming is Towingto be a morr honorable business, and has been ev er since ho many inventions have come in to use and that the South era: negro was not the only fellow who had to "hit" the field. These are past view, of farming. It is now one of the most honorable occupations on the globe. The farn: is coming into its own, slowly but' surely. The farmer, is getting to b a more intelligent man. He is get ting to be more self reliant, and when we depend on Our selves we succeed and when we depend on oth ers we fail. When our farms hen in our grand sunny southern land get' to raising our own pork and beef butter and cheese, our farm ers will come into their own. Yoi may look out, while the farm is do ing all this the man will have to gc in front.1 Farming is an honorable business. - , . . We hear a great deal nowadays a bout hard-times; but if you will stop and look at the few who are 1 out in the fields making supplies for the many, you cannot but wonder how the world gets along as well as It does. Think what a small per cent of our people live on farms and when you go ( out and examine them you f nd about one-third of them actually go to the fields and than If you will follow those that go, ycu will find that they work, only about one-third of the time. The one man who works on the f arm1 and. has about one half dozen children hard ly knows what percent of his earn ings reHv is his. There is ho better occupation than farming. Statistics show that the average -ife of a farmer and average life of a married man are longer than it is of men of other trades and bachelors due to the health, ex ercise and the regular eating of well prepared food. Besides all. these advantages, a boy may work at this when he is too small to do very much business, the larger boy may d this if he is not fitted for other business, the old man may farm when all professions would have him laid on the shelf.' If you really . are run ning for - honest, tliard, work there is one consolation, you may always bear in mind, you - will have no op- ponent. Run for you will succeed, bread for naujiif, hard work, and "Eat no man's is some ndvlce. , A quiet summer retort SALUDA Among the mountain I with 32 hotel mnd NORTH CAROLINA top.

School Bond Election The joyful bells of School Bond. The election held here recently for the issuing of a bond to erect a mod ern school building carried by six majority. It was a elose contest-be tween the progressive element and the opposers but it so happened that the right 'was again more powerf ul than the wrong. We cast no reflec tion on those who were against it. They were good men we hope, but they allowed mistaken ideas to lodge in their minds which. we hope was rung out by the joyful bell of the evening which announced the -glad news between sun down and dark, in which the admirable CHS bell took the lead. What, we ask, aside from church is more important than the school house.' We have seen a few elec tions announced by bells, ,. all - - - of which have been issues Intended for the welfare of the public, but the heart thrilling ding dongs that were heard Tuesday evening crying cn to victory sent the deepest joy of its k'nd into our hearts that it has ever done. Who, If you please would fight his own interest and that of his children whom he longs to see stand in their days with other genuine men and women? . Yet some men did and some men do and some men will actually step in between their child ren and success and then almost weep because they themselves fall and their children have the golden plan of victory opened up to their young and tender hearts.' But of course they are honest about It they feel they are doing right. , Little girls and boys look to fath- er- ana Dig oroiner - tor protection and instruction. Their lives are in our hands, we should be careful how we lead them.
