Columbia.?"The present text-book contract expires June 30, 1917. Un der this contract one company secur sd upwards of 50 per cent of the text book business of the state. Such domination is neither wholesome nor desirable. Its recurrence or contin I uance should be made impossible," is the statement made by J. E. Swear ii^gen, the state superintendent of education, in discussing in his annual report to the general assembly the need of a state text-book board. He * * * - ? nnaoflAn points out tnai CO mure mai 4UCOUUU than that of the text-books will con front the members of the general as sembly and urges that some action be taken. "The board, charged with the adop tion of text-books," he continues, "should be made directly responsible to the people instead of to the execu tive. This board should be composed of public school men and should I adoDt books for all of the schools of the state; A uniform1 series of books should be adopted for7city and town schools as well as the rural districts, but if voluntary agreement can be se cured among independent districts the substitution of this agreement for the state adoption should be every where allowable in long termed schools. The sole limitation being that where once adopted it could not be \changed within six years. The state text-book list should be so clas sified and subdivided that not more than one-third of the books in use could be changed at one time. This could be readily accomplished if the term of each adoption, 'ran for six years, and if only one-third of the books on the list could be considered every second year." These statements and suggestions are made by Mr. Swearingen in the section of his report, dealing with the txet-boqk question and in discussing the wholesale changes made by the state board of education during the past summer. Made a Record Sale of .Land. Mr. R. E. Goeritz has made the record price for the purchase of farm land in' this county, and Mr. Louis H. Meares has made the record sale.

This property, two acres being the amount sold, was sold at $500 an acre, and it is only farming land. Yet there are people who think that the adjoining lands are high at $200. This little strip of land is to be used by Mr. Goeritz in carrying out a great plan that he has had in contempla montlnn nf which UUU IU1 auuic Uiaw, 4uvmv?v? w was made a few months ago.

New Buildings For the Schools. Discussing the matter of school buildings, J. E.

PLAN TO HELP THE FARMERS Scheme to Reduce Cotton Acreage Explained?Few Slight Changes Made.?Proposal Adopted. Columbia.?Below is given the offi cial report of the action taken at the New Orleans conference, held Decem ber 21, in the interest of cotton acreage reduction, including the amended and adopted "Rock ' Hill Plan." The changes in that plan, from the original as drawn and pre sented at New Orleans by J. G. An derson of Rock Hill, were slight: Owing to the fact that sufficient money is not in sight to put the "Rock Hill Plain," for the reduction oT the cotton acreage for 1912, as out lined by J. G. Anderson of Rock Hill, to the executive committee of the Southern Cotton congress, in general operation throughout the cotton grow ing states; and also from the further fact that we do not wish to do any thing that may be in violation of the Sherman law. we recommend* a modi fication of th,e "Rock Hill Plan," as follows: Let each individual cotton growing state, acting for itself, and not in col lusion with any other, take up this most important matter promptly and settle it by calling on the bankers, farmers, merchantile and manufactur ing interests, - for sufficient funds to pay organization expenses, and then organize by the selection of a state superintendent who shall have entire charge of the work in the state, and thus be responsible therefor. The governor, commissioner of agriculture, the state farmers' union president should act for the state in the capac lty noted above and tor raising the necessary money. The state superintendent shall im mediately?from information received by him from any source he deems best?appoint a county committee, consisting of three persons who shall have actual charge of the canvassing in the field. South Carolina New Enterprises. The secretary of state has issued a commission to the Farmington cor poration of White' Oak, with a capi tal stock of $40,000. The petitioners are: H. E. Heath, S. W.

Chero kee's roads are not by any means the poorest in the state, but there is room for vast improvement, and if the present plans of the supervisor and the commissioners are carried out, Cherokee will have roads which will compare favorably with those of any county in the state. The new steel drags already have been tested and have been found satisfac tory in every respect. General Assembly To Meet Soon. January 9th, the second Tuesday in the month, the general assembly of South Carolina will assemble for its annual session in the state house at Columbia.
