Columbia Special to Charlestoi
News and Courier, Sept. 26.?"Tin
reports of unusually large enrolinen
in our public schools and collegei
are very' gratifying to me," saic
Governor Manning in discussing edu
cation and prosperity in South Caro
lina. "It is a healty sign to note th?
awakening of our white citizens tc
the very great necessity for universal
education, especially along practical
lines?cooking, sewing, farming,
mechanics, etc. It is aiso an
evidence of the return of prosperity
to our land. What a marked contrast
to the conditions existing a
short while ago when, as an effect
of the European war our financial
system was in a turmoil, large numItprq

F^piv, v * w. ^
for the education of our boys and
?irls. were not in position to gather
together enough money to pay even
the small expense ..ems incidental to
the education which they so much
desired for their children. Many of
them could not purchase the hooks
necessary to be used in their schools.
THE GREATEST NEEDS.
"Now, I learn, the most important
question before us is how are we to
provide the teachers and room necessary
to properly care for the large
numbers applying for admission. The
cry "hard times" lias been forgotten
in South Carolina, and our people are
looking^o the future with a degree
of optimism heretofore unknown.
There is no questioning the fact tlia
if we are to continue to progress
along business and moral lines, we
must provide for the children of
South Carolina the education to
which they are entitled. A grave
responsibility rests upon the mothers
and fathers of South Carolina in this
matter, and 1 have such great confidence
in the honesty and integrity
of our people, that I know this responsibility
will be met with the
proper response and the necessary
facilities for the training and education
of our youth will be provided.
IJU liti', m<,& 1 i'u?siiiL<c;.
"If we cannot provide as well as
we would like, then let us by all
means provide as well as possible.
Well lighted, well ventilated and
well heated school buildings with
first-class teachers are always desirable,
if possible, but a log cabin, with
a good teacher, makes a much better
place t otrain a child than no school
place to train a child than no school
rents make personal sacrifices, if
necessary, rather than have the
training of the mind of the child neglected.
"The people of South Carolina are
aroused along educational lines as
they have neve?- been before. This
is best evidenced by the fact that in
approximately 1,400 school districts,
out of a total of 2,000 in South Carolina.
the people have voted on themselves
a special tax for the improvement
of their educational system.
In other words, they have, by their
ballots, spoken in no uncertain terms
fiiviw nf thn nrncrona rtf tin* atatn
and the advancement of our civilization
through the training of tho
minds of our children. Especially is
this true in the mill villages and
rural communities.
VO<' AT ION A E THAI NI NO
"Another commendable feature
about our educational progress is the
advanced ideas our people are putting
into practice along the line of
vocational training. I am especially
interested in this particular branch
of the work. We have come to the
point in our educational life where
our children are now being taught
to use not only their brains, but
their hands as well. Every year we
note that the schools are turning out
more skilled mechanics and farmers,
and more mechanics' wives and farmers'
wives than ever before. This
is true, not only of the calleges ant.
universities, but of the smaller public
and high schools as well. My
whole heart is In this work," said the
governor, "and I hope that we may
aoon see the day when our education
ai iHfinwt'H, especially inose in tne
mill villages and rural districts, are
brought to the highest standard.

pleasure, of every true South Caro
linian to offer to the younger genera'
tion every opportunity to properlj

my mind, the best method of per
forming this duty is to provide foi
them the education and training that

. enthusiastic advocate of education,

j [ schools of South Carolina. He is de_j
voting a great deal of his time to the
study of this subject just now, and

by the British fleet of the
German positions at Westende and
Middlekerke.
"The British troops have attacked
with success enemy positions to the
west of l.oos and Hulluch. Our
troops operating in conjunction with
the British army, delivered to the

them to gain a foothold at
several points in the enemy's line.
"Between the Somme and the
Aisne fighting by means of torpedoes

The* County Fair.
Edgefield Advertiser.
An agricultural fair is a great object
lesson. It is intensively educative
in its character, it teacnes by
contrast and example when seeing is
I believing. It creates a healthy rivalry
and friendly competition. It
| gathers knowledge and diffuses it;
1 it advertises and attracts; it pro
motes social life and good feeling;
i it inculcates feelings of pride and
I patriotism.
it is a timekeeper of progress; i'
records a community's advancement;
it goes into the home; it broadens I
and brightens the daily life of the
people; it opens mighty storehouses1
j of information.
The fair is a business propostion
It is an opportunity to advertise)
your goods and your farm products.
You place them before the people,
' thus giving you an opportunity to
better your condition by securing
I some of your best seed corn, cotton
seed, brood sows, fine cattle, horses,!
1 mules, sheep, etc.
The fair spirit is taking a hold on'
our people, interest is developing; |
communities heretofore lukewarm!
are catching the spirit and contagion
has set in.
Where fairs have been held longest,
you will find better live stock;
i better farmers and better farms.
Hence you will see that ? ? novo
' everything to gain and nothing to,
lose by encouraging, establishing1
and maintaining a good county fair, j
Patrons of our fair can afford to'
1 be especially liberal, remembering
that every cent of profit goes into im-j
provements that will make each fair
better than the preceding one.

* Columbia Kecora.
1 The city board of health has uu'
dertaken some advanced steps in or*
der to clear this cty of filth and flies.
As far as we are informed, the board
": has done nothing that is radical or
! without precedent. It is necessary
5 to reduce the sources of infection if
" we wish to keep our city healthful.
' J Columbia is today away above the
average In cleanliness and in health
matters, but disease is progressive
and so must be the flght upon it.
Thp oftIronn r*f PnlnmKl? oh?..i,i
| only applaud the efforts of the board
I to drive out the fly but should Im'
plore the guardians of our health to
. do something to abate the mosquito
^ nuisance.
, The activity of the board shows
the progress of public sentiment in
matters relating to health and health
protection. Swatting the fly is a slo"
gan which has been looked uponj
I without proper seriousness. It is
i the movement which will help the
most to keep down the spread of disease.
Ignorant persons scoff at science,
i but when ever anything befalls such
a person, he is very grateful to the
j skillful physician or surgeon that
! saves his life by applying the principles
of science. And it is these
same wise men who tell us that the
fly and the mosquito are the greatest
I disease carriers.

Also teach the grown persona to pre;
vent the spread of flies by keeping
1 stables and other breeding places
i clean. If there were no filth there
^ would be no flies. One of the most
ridiculous things is a lot of garbage
cans sitting around on the sidewalk
' with gaping mouths, attracting flies
The cans should be painted, for they
are indeed unsightly and they should
have lids to keep the flies out. From
the garbage cans the flies sail away
we know not whither.
Feeding Plants.
T><? you ever think of inviting youi
plants to dinner'? An expert iu plant
life who took a lurge number of sun
dew plants and supplied half of them
with nitrogenous food in the form ot
roast beef arrived at the following
facts: Of the plants that he fed, t>!l
| per cent more survived than of the
same number that were not fed in
this way; their stems weighed 11 pet'
cent more, they excelled the starved
plants in the number of their seeds by
141 per cent, and it. the aggregate
weight of their seeds by 27'.* per tent
Other scientists who have fed these
plants with aphides of similar small
insects have secured like results.

Great Moment in History.
Napoleon Honaparte had just picked
tip the crown of France out of the
gutter. "Well. 1 declare," he ejncu- 1
lated as he polished it off on his coat
sleeve. "I'ere's richness! I've always
felt that the man who could turn last
year's silk hat into a wastebasket was
something of a genius, but I'll have
him beaten to a frazzle, as another
great soldier will observe in a hundred
years or so. I'll turn this old tile into
a telephone, and address the French
people through it." Whereupon he
placed the bauble upon his head, and
In time even as lie had intimated, it
became the recognized central nflice
for all the switchboards of Kurope.
