NOT TO ISSUE NEW ESTIMATE
Figures of October 25 on Cotton To
Stand.
Wash'ngt^rt, Oct. 25.?Representative
Fulmer, of South Carolina, announced
tonight that he had been informed
by officials of the crop reporting
bure:'i". o; the Department of Agriculture
that contrary to some .earlier
reports to the effect, that a statement
will be issued November 1 showing
a larger cotton crop as of October
25 than the estimate. The statement
follows:
"In view of the circulation of a
m x xl i. iU? '
report to tne eneci uiui me ciujj importing
bureau cf the Agricultural
Department will, on November 1, is- '
sue a statement as to the condition 1
Df the crop as of October 25, and 1
that it will show a larger crop than
the estimate of October 3, I have 1
conferred with the officials in charge 1
and have been assiired that such new 1
estimate of October 3, I have con- :
thermore, while a questionnaire was '
sent out, the department stands to '
its former etsimate with a total crop
>f 6,537,000 bales. ' !
"This estimate by the depatrment
vLll be quoted by Director Stuart in 1
tte ginning report to be issued to- '
iay, covering the ginning up 'to '
Dctober 18, and it is expected tha^.,1
lis enumeration will show an abnor- 1
nally large ginning, due' to the crop's *
maturing unusually early this year
ind picking and ginning being more 1
idvanced than ever before.

SCHOOL FIGURES
Enrollment Decline* As Grades Advance,
in too Great Ratio.
According to figures just announced
by J. E. Swearingen, State Superintendent
of Education, the enrollment
of pupils in the higher grades
in both the high schools and the rural
graded schools of Abbeville coun.y,
is too small as compared with that I
in the lower grades. For example, I
during the iyiy-2U session in tne two |
high schools, there were enrolled in
the first through the sixth grades
366 pupils compared with 232 from
the seventh through the eleventh.
The following session, 1920-21, the
upper grades, according to the same
authority, were increased by the addition
of two pupils. It seems incredble
that the 164 pupils in the fifth
and sixth grades should have failed
of promotion. And the death rate at
this age is not so great as to account
for the difference between the actual
increase of the four upper
grades and the theoretical increase.
In the eight socalled rural graded
schools in the county there were enrolled,
in 1919-20, 661 pupils in the j
first six grad.?S as compared with
only 192 in the four higher grades.
In 1920-21, both sections increased j
nore than did the high schools, the
lower grades having 755 pupils and |
the others 208.
An analysis of the figures would
tend to show that too many pupils j
hop out of school before they reach jj
:he higher grades. If figures were;.
available they would probably show
;hat a still smaller percentage of thfc
pupils of the four high school grades
sver go to college. They would probably
show also that a majority of
:he pupils who'complete the tenth
ind eleventh grades do go to college.
The state superintendent of education
passes the figures on to Super-]
ntendent Mann with the query, "Can'
anything be done to improve these!
conditions in 1921?"
