Get Busy, Children. - '
Nearly all first-class public
schools are .now furnished with
motion picture .machines, the val
ue of which as an aid to educa
tion is generally recognized. . The
need of such an adjunct in the
Tryon school has been greatly
felt and this need will be prompt
ly supplied if the generous of
fer of the Polk County News is
accepted.
To supply the school with the
machine it will only be necessary
for the pupils those most con
cernedto bring in '.' subscrip
tions to the News. Five hun
dred yearly -subscriptions will
result in the school getting the
machine free of cost, If there
is an easier way of getting this
great boon to the school we do
not know of it. '"'." ; 1
Let every girl and boy get busy
on this work, 'The News is the
only paper in Polk : county. It
should be no trick at all for
each pupil to get two or more
subscribers. ,
It's Up to You, Mr. Voter.
Everyone by this time has read
the paving ordinance more ..than
once and understands perfectly
not only what is proposed to be
done but-the necessity for doing
it. The date for registration has
been set as has that for the elec
tion. It will be necessary to
register for this election in order
to vote. Let all . eligible to I vote
see that they register before it
is too late Jfehen vote for the
bonds. .,
On this election will depend
whether the electors of Tryon
are content with unpaved streets
and the lack of proper sidewalks
or whether they want their town
to take its place proudly beside
similar towns of its size, with
modern improvements and . the
common signs of a progressive
community. .
Nature has done wonders for
Tryon. Man hasn't done so well.
But the occasion has. presented
itself to improve the physical as
pects of our town.- To advocate
any measure which adds to the
hiirdon of a p.ommnnitv in tVio
shape, of taxation is not popular
wit.h certain classes, but the best
interests of Tryon are involved
when it comes to improvements
like paving, '
The matter resolves itself into
, the question; Do you prefer to
walk or ride m the mud or to
pass on dry shod?
Are you content to get7 along
with as they did in the Eighteen
. Fities or do you wish those things
which no up-to-date town lacks?
An Open Letter L
My dear Miss Corwith:- !
Your letter asking me where4
you can get information about
Skyuka suggests to me that prob
ably other scholars in Polk county
are also wbndering who he was.
Brief ly he was the friendly In
dairl who guided Wm. Howard
then Captain Howard, through
Howard Gap to the place on War
rior Mt. where Howard's troops
f ought and won. Tradition says
the defeated Tories and Indians
caught Skyuka shortly after the
battle and hanged him. 1
If you can. get hold of any old
traditions about Skyuka please
write them down and state from
whom you got them. - ' '
Examine if you can'the monu
ment in Howard Gap and the In
dian burial ground on Warrior's
Mt. where the Indians, killed in
the battle were buried, and bring
them into your story. i
You will find the story of the
battle iri a book called "Colonial
and Revolutionary History of
Upper.South Carolina"'by J. B.
