in your most excellent paper to ,
discuss the subject of our
country schools.
Why cannot we country people
do as much for the advancement
of oar home schools a*
those of the city? Why cannot
we join neighboring schools together
sad have a graded school?
The rsaesa for this is simply because
t h? people will not coipp
together. Their iat**?lions ar?
to move fco town in the future
and edaaaho th*dr children. Thorn
is no mead ot moving to tons if
^ we will bnild rip our boms school*

the schoe's take more interest
in bv^ul'fjrng them? The ?tu

is linked together from end to

sort of testimony.
Some time between S and 7
o'clock Monday evening some

Attention Farmers!
Address by Officers of the
Cotton Association?Farmers
Urged to Stand for;
Fifteen Cents.
i
To the People of South Caroli
na:
On account of the fact that
Mr. E. D. Smith, presidaat of
the South Carolina diriaion of I
the Southern Uottou association,
lias been desperately ill in the
hospital at Florence lor six weeks
no address ha* g>ne forth on behalf
of the association on the
subject ?f the situation of cotton
.
At the meeting of thn sw<'?t
ire e?MMaitfne of both the fltenthecn
Cotton an*ocialion and thn
Farmers' union the minimum
price 15 cent* wa- fix-d and published
broadcast throughout the
South. At that ties* it wm estimated
that the ?cetoa erop
would roach 12,000,000, ha'us.
Sine# that time eotlvng; has 00rurred
to chance the estimate
but both Irom individual sources
and from khecovermont it seonts
that this estimate of 14,000.000 |
hales nw extrc.meiw liberal.
Every indica'ioe points to a crop
of about 11,500.000 bales
We hare kept a class watch
during the financial panic of any
disaster that would materially
curtail the consumption rvf cotton
; it can be seid that there has
taken place nothing eince fcapt.
