Thai [ does not seem like enough to amount . to a great deal?from two or three o hours a night, three nights a week, " for four weeks; but It did amount tc t quite a lot- Of fifteen or twenty - grownup pupils attending with more r or less regularity, and some of them it working with faithful eagerness, sev- ci ' era I received very substantial benefits c? 1 on the road to wider knowledge. fl. The idea of the school originated *rr r with Miss Eula Johnson, principal of fe Laney school, and was carried out in with the help of Miss Helen Brandon. J" i inr assistant. Miss Johnson is a form- to ,i Vork county lady, whose present w ' heine is in Arkansas; but who came s) I>aik to the mighlrorhood in which she j*,, was raised to teach. Miss Brandon H " a recent graduate of Winthrop college. 01 1 l?Jo!igs in Bethel. ot 1 The work of the young ladies was a ' purely voluntary. They were aware l* oi the fact that among the men of the lt 1 neighborhood, there were a number '* wln? tiad failed to receive the educa- hl tiMiial opportunities that they should r< f h:i\? had in childhood, and who arc al i,..u feeling the handicap. These in- ,l elude some of the liest and most sub stantial citizens of the Laney com- ,? nnuiitj. Among them are some who -V( 1 can read and write with fair facility. hi and some who do not even know the ^ ' litters of the alphabet. What the 0( ladies had in mind was to do what '' t!.' y could for all of them, and more s< [> "inllv for those who were totally tl 11 illiterate! *J From reliable information that has ' i t-* n obtuined by The Kn<|uirer, it ap- a |?;iis tiiat the men. especially those Cl 11 w i.i> were more or less able to read " " ami write took advantage of the op0 |.i.it unity with enthusiasm. The to- a lall> illiterate, however, could not be a in* I need to take hold. They did not S1 .-in to care, and it was not so much h a matter of sensitiveness about their 11 t ignorance as it was indifference. But S( y others worked, worked hard and made * progress?made enough progress in s iaet. to keep on working. H The young ladies put in full time 1 ami more. The original programme a ?ailed for two hours a night?from '' ' T to 9. but frequently the school kept s <>).. a until 10 and 11. They taught I ivading, writing, arithmetic and grammar. They took up the subject of plant l<?nl, the otlice and value of potash -sl ' in plant life, and how to mix fertilizers, etc.. especially as to how to <i make calculations as to proportions fi '' of the different elements to be used, e It was not intended that the school y should go on but four weeks. Consid* . ration was taken of the fact that ' when heavy farm work opened, the . a men would be too tired at night for i' study or anything else but sleep. The r' u term was short of course; but that much good was accomplished is cer- \ 11 tain. Some concrete examples eould '' ' l*e given to prove the fact, but that is hardly necessary or desirable. S The main iioint gained was the prac- n * lieability of the Idea. There are men v >. i'i ?very neighborhood who need just t such a school, and such schools can j. I**- organized in every neighborhood. r in course it is hardly to be expected j, that every neighborhood has eompe: ten! or eilieicnt teachers who are , willing to work in their schools all ^ Ia> ami then gratuitously give up " their evenings. That is too much for " ' ntiibod.v to ask. It is too inuvh to ;isk y it oven for pay. But such schools are i> I worth while. They are worth initio- < laining on a liberal salary basis? f II siiliirics contributed by the immediate a bi-ni liriaries or out or public funds. \ ,. And there tire few neighborhoods n that would not be benefited by such h ' schools?if the teachers are to be had. * J il DAY ON THE FARM f, 11 This is a little story of a brief out- *' " ing that came the editor's way last ( 1 week.

It was out of the picstion to get away just at that time a so 1 went ut him like tills: o 5 "You've got a car?" (' "Yes; two of thein." S I "Drive"'cm yourself?" "Sure. ? ".Mind driving one ol' them up to v' j itock Hill Thursday night and meet v me at the a. 10 train?" 5 "Not a bit." "Suppose it rains?" "1 will be right there at the *sta- J: . lion." "So will I," and the whole thing ,, was arranged. .Mr. Ulusscock wus ut the station e when I arrived in Hock Hill. He tl l_ seemed a little disappointed when he H learned 1 had not brought the family; ^ P but without loss of time, piloted me tl to his car in charge of a negro man j he had brought along, -and soon we d were spinning along,down the old Sa- b luda road toward the southeastern cor- <j [f tier of the county. To me it was p quite a pleasant drive in spite of a s . bumpy road, low lying clouds, und strong -March wind that had started up warm but which was steadily w growing more chilly. n Along the road Mr. tilasscock point- ^ P ed out various places of interest. , I with which 1 was more or less familiar; but which could he disf tinguished with dilliculty on account d 5 of the darkness?John Roddey's ?

C [ For some years twist Mr. Glasscock -s y has been engaged in buying all the d land adjoining and now his nearest *> . neighbor is more than a mile away. v> 4 He does not own all the land in ev- ? ,-ry direction for a mile?not uuite; j hut he has no close white neighbors. I His closest neighbors are Messrs. T. d M. Allen. J. A. Thomas. J. I. Fergu' son and J. T. and J. E. Glasscock, a j His own home, however, shows up as bi a little settlement?a big, white, two- ? s story, many roomed house, a big barn c< and quite a number of outbuildings of f< various kinds. t< The barn was full of hay and rough- tc noss of various kinds. The corncrlb si t was bulging with corn, something like tl a thousand bushels it seemed. In a 01 ? pen near the barn lot there were two lersey nogs mai were no longer ame ,, to stand on their feet and which Y looked like they would net between 01 300 and 400 pounds each, and a num- P< ' ber of smaller pigs in a nearby alfalfa nl ! pasture. f i "I'm going to sell those two hogR *c In the I to the butcher. I don't need them, and that Is about all I can bl ?'do." said Mr. Glasscock. ai Looking over the country from the *>' i hill on which Mr. Glasscock's home P{ stands, there Is presented to view a P' world of plowed ground. There were Je i no plowmen In sight They had al- ,n ready finished up everything in the immediate vicinity and were now ,B ' working elsewhere. "My land Is all so poor I can't in make anything oIt It without mixing about half and half with commer- lap &1 fertilizers." remarked Mr. Glass- at Kk in a somewhat humorous vein. lea I learned afterward that he has a p ready bought 100 tons of fertilizer an otn the Rock Hill Fertilizer company pai ir this year's crop, and he is expect- mo ig to use between fifteen and twenty pai ins of nitrate of soda. Altogether his hoi rtilizer>111 for this year will amount vol i somewhere lietween $5,000 and $6.- gui io. fro 1 had a peep into Mrs. Glasscock's eve orehouse.

"It doesn't look like it is necessary >r us to put up anything more this far." said Mr. Glasscock, "but if we ave plenty of fruit why we will just ive ns much of it as we can. Under 1 tnditions as they exist now. it is up pol i every family in the country to con- fro rve as much food as possible. Even cal tough we may have enough and to ed [lire, we must guard against the pos- W< ibllity of having a hungry people air round us. There is nothing that we zor juld have that would be worse than am int." for Mr. Glasscock cranked up his car ad1 long al>out 10 o'clock and we made me trip over to Mr. T. M.
