With flour at $12.00 per barrel, there should be an effort made to produce as much wheat as possible in this county. There was a time when almost every farmer had his patch of wheat and made enouyh flour to furnish bread for the family. TJiere can be no stood reason why this cannot - be done ajcalD,.and we trust the farmers of the county will plant wheat this fall. ' , . . - * ^ ^ * —’ GOOD TIME CXlMlNt; One of the results of the except ionally good .yield of crops this year, and the *ood prices likely to be received, farmers will have more money than they have had for many years. This Is stood, and many a man In Colleton county will be able to pay every cent he owes and come home with a clean sheet We trust this will be the rule to "prevail generally, and that we shall see many homes free from debt, for no man ran truly be said to be In- • dependent till he ran do as The "Village Rlarksmith! “Look the whole world In the fare For he owes not any man.” Unfortunately for many farmers, ss well as other people, the ten dency is to buy unessential things an soon as they get In easy circum stances. Rut surely with the war conditions, and the lessons learned in thfc. past few years, this' condi tion will not prevail In this section to any extent. If our people could get one year ahead, and pay for What they use while making ano>h- •^er crop. It would be so much l*etter for all concerned. The tendency In toward this, and the number of hank accounts is increasing et a rapid pace. They should increase much faster from now on. Rave—not niggardly—but spend only wisely and for what is essen tial. log Into phyalral shape, and th$n thousands bf. pule* travelled befor* reaching the enemy, and a chance to vindicate our lights. Then the causes for which this war is being fought somehow have not yet permeated our being as It mast do to call for the most pat riotic service. So many people do not see the Importance of .it, nor the need for it. They cannife yet grasp the fact that this is human ity's war. and that It is necessary to preserve on the earth a free gov ernment; they have not yet learn ed that this country was forced in to the war In self defense and in vindicatloq of the freedom of the seas and our right to engage in the commerce of the world unmolest ed; they seem to (orget that our ships were sunk, our seamen mur dered and our flag insulted; they do not remember that President Wilson kept us out of war. till he was sneered at by our own people and his patience became the marvel of the world; they have*been listen ing to those unpatriotic men who haVe crltlclied the government and maligned our officials, and who afe engaged-^In most damnable treason by their sneers and ctltl* clsms. Small wonder, - therefore, that the people of the South par ticularly are still lukewarm In their attitude to the war. Rut' our peo ple will do the right thing In this war as they have always done In the past. There,are going to be no slackers in Colleton, and the fact that 10« of the first call did not seek exemption means that the spirit of our forefathers who fought In 1776 to make this country free is not dead. We .congratulate you, young men. — THE MM'AL BOARD COLLETON IS PROUD OK THESE Colleton rounlJ| has le 3 * 08 ,0 feel proud of the record mide in tha^ Ibrt of the first call of men to the colors did not make any claim to exemption. This (« a good rec ord. and The Press anil Standard desires to congratulate these young men upon Jheir patriotic desire to serve their .country. There ar~ many othe^, doubtless, who would not have claimed exemption, for dire necessity. Of course .no * one wishes to go to war if the go ing will bring hardships upon those, dependent upon his labor for sup bort. especially If those dependent consists of wife and children who would be objects of care to the peo ple of the community or to the gov ernment, or eveh be forced upon unwilling relatives to care for and •upport. The government realised this and made provision for it by providing a method of securing ex emption for such as these. One's family comes first, although manv persons have sacrificed all for their country, laying upon Its altar home, happiness, loved onea and pros pects in business and professions /Which it has taken yeara to build up, and which will take many mor« to regain. If ever they can be re gained. Such love of country, such patriotic Impulses must invoke our most proud love for the bren who are so patriotic and unselfish. Such .'largeness of soul and brave purpose will bring its reward, and the future will hold for such l n afeetlonate re gard. History will emblazon a page to thoir memory. This war, perhaps, calls for more serious determination on the par* of those who volunteer than any war In which our country has ever before engaged.

Ins information is Niven: • jLoea ton of school; name of principal; character of work; ownership and control; attendance; teachers; fi nancial condition. The descriptive sketch of the ■ more important schools la followed by specific rec ommendation looking to the future' development of the school. The facta for the Individual schools were obtained by a field study of South Carolina and the' other Southern states covering a period of nearly three years., ’ Resides listing the private and higher schools for Negroes In South Carolina and other Southern States, this Federal report on-., colored schools analyzes the provision for education by the states; discusses meahs and methods of education for negroea; describes building and equipment for typical schools; and attempts to give specific aid to pub lic and private authorities interest ed in negro education. The prob lem before the colored schools of South Carolina Is indicated by the fact that Illiterates are still 38 per cent of the colored people 10 years of age and over, and 23 per cent of the children 1© to 14^years of age. The South Carolina section of the report shows that there are, ac cording to census figures, 835.843 colored people in South Carolina, forming 55 per cent shf the total population. It is pointed out that 09 per Cent of all persons engaged in agricultural pursuits In the ^tatt are colored and that Die num ber of farmi cultivated by pegroes increased 13 per cent between 1900 and 1910. As farmers renting and owning land, they have charge pf nearly four million, acres of Souf*i Carolina soil, (and. ff their work as farm laborers be taken Into ac count. they- undoubtedly cultivate, a far larger area. The report there fore emphasizes the need of agri cultural and Industrial education, pointing out that public facilities for this type of education gre still practically negligible, and. while a f**w of the private schools are ren dering effective service, they are for the most part unable to meet the state-wide needs. Public provision for colored and white children, l n South Carolina Is compared on the basis of the amount expended-, for teachers’ sal aries and the number of children of school age. -The public school teachers of South Carolina receiv ed $1.759,182 in salaries in 1911- 1 <**,'•* the report. -Of this sum $1,454,098 was for fhe .teachers of 1 45,384 white children and $305,- 08o was for the teachers of 212,- 125 colored children. On a per capita basis this is $10.00 for each white child of school age and $1.4 1 for each colored child.’’ The in equalities between the figures for white children and those for col ored children are greatest In coun ties where the. proportion of ne- proes in the total population Is largest. Private schools for colored pu pils in .South Carolina number according to the report. They have a property valuation of 82.126.434. an annual income of $214,379, and an attendance of 8.616 pupils, of whom 7.431 are in elementary erades. The private schools are largely supported by denominations. Only 26 of the 6ft schools plav an important part in the educational activities of the State. It Is point ed out that a few of the remaining schools may be Justified on denonrf^ national grounds;/ the ^pajorlty. however, are so hampered by small income or poor management that the States receives little .benefit from them. /* The moat urgent need of the col ored schools in South Carolina.- is trained teachers. The report de clares: "The supply now depends' almost entirely upon the secondary schools, moot of which are private institutions. Of these, however, only six offer fairly good courses for teachers. Four others Include one or two teacher-training subjects In their general course. The puoils In the graduatlhg classes of all thfv schools offerirlg teacher training numbering ‘about 25ft| an annual output obviously inadequate to meet the need for teacher* In a State with over &3S.0Q0 colored peonle and 2,76t> rolored public school teach ers.” y- * - The report summarizes the edu cational needs for the schools of South Carolina as follows: 1. The strengthening and ex tension of the elemehtary school system-. The .only agencies able to supply this need are the State, the county and the local public school district. The greatest possibilities of State aid He In the employment of white eupervisiors of colored schools, whose duties will corres pond to those of the suori visors now emnloyed in 1ft southern states. 2. The Increase of tearh*‘r-trnin- lOg facilities.
