NOT TO ISSUE NEW ESTIMATE Figures of October 25 on Cotton To Stand. Wash'ngt^rt, Oct. 25.?Representative Fulmer, of South Carolina, announced tonight that he had been informed by officials of the crop reporting bure:'i". o; the Department of Agriculture that contrary to some .earlier reports to the effect, that a statement will be issued November 1 showing a larger cotton crop as of October 25 than the estimate. The statement follows: "In view of the circulation of a m x xl i. iU? ' report to tne eneci uiui me ciujj importing bureau cf the Agricultural Department will, on November 1, is- ' sue a statement as to the condition 1 Df the crop as of October 25, and 1 that it will show a larger crop than the estimate of October 3, I have 1 conferred with the officials in charge 1 and have been assiired that such new 1 estimate of October 3, I have con- : thermore, while a questionnaire was ' sent out, the department stands to ' its former etsimate with a total crop >f 6,537,000 bales. ' ! "This estimate by the depatrment vLll be quoted by Director Stuart in 1 tte ginning report to be issued to- ' iay, covering the ginning up 'to ' Dctober 18, and it is expected tha^.,1 lis enumeration will show an abnor- 1 nally large ginning, due' to the crop's * maturing unusually early this year ind picking and ginning being more 1 idvanced than ever before.

El SCHOOL FIGURES Enrollment Decline* As Grades Advance, in too Great Ratio. According to figures just announced by J. E. Swearingen, State Superintendent of Education, the enrollment of pupils in the higher grades in both the high schools and the rural graded schools of Abbeville coun.y, is too small as compared with that I in the lower grades. For example, I during the iyiy-2U session in tne two | high schools, there were enrolled in the first through the sixth grades 366 pupils compared with 232 from the seventh through the eleventh. The following session, 1920-21, the upper grades, according to the same authority, were increased by the addition of two pupils. It seems incredble that the 164 pupils in the fifth and sixth grades should have failed of promotion. And the death rate at this age is not so great as to account for the difference between the actual increase of the four upper grades and the theoretical increase. In the eight socalled rural graded schools in the county there were enrolled, in 1919-20, 661 pupils in the j first six grad.?S as compared with only 192 in the four higher grades. In 1920-21, both sections increased j nore than did the high schools, the lower grades having 755 pupils and | the others 208. An analysis of the figures would tend to show that too many pupils j hop out of school before they reach jj :he higher grades. If figures were;. available they would probably show ;hat a still smaller percentage of thfc pupils of the four high school grades sver go to college. They would probably show also that a majority of :he pupils who'complete the tenth ind eleventh grades do go to college. The state superintendent of education passes the figures on to Super-] ntendent Mann with the query, "Can' anything be done to improve these! conditions in 1921?" rHREE SUFFERING MAD DOG WOUNDS,1 i Columbia, Oct. 25.?Frank Dever- , . j jux, farmer living six miles from Co-i; _ . i umbia on the Garner's Ferry road,| ind his two sisters, Misses Letty andi Lucile Devereux, are taking the ^as-j ;eur treatment because they were bit-1 ;en by a pet dog which has been de-. :lared by the board of health authorties to have been mad. A horse and | several dogs belonging to Mr. Dever- j ;aux were also bitten. , j According to reports, Mr. Dever- j ?aux was playing with the dog Fri- J Jay when it suddenly bit him in the I "ace. One of the young women was I Messing the dog Saturday when it | sit her. The second sister heard the j logs fighting in the yard and, rush- j ng out to part them, was herself bit- j ;en by the mad dog. Saturday Mr. Deveraux rode into he yard and the mad dog leaped up ind bit the horse upon the nose. Nothing was suspected until yesterlay morning when the dog was aeen laving a fit. It was then killed and wrought to Columbia where its head vas examined and it was found that ;he brute was mad. Mr. Devereaux and the Misses Derereaux immediately began the Pas;eur treatment The banks may call on you to pay, lp but the deacons will still "waitj >n" you.
