O.i as seoond class matter. CIRCULATION 2.300. We are indeed glad to note the ostensible progress of the Lexington Collegiate Institute under the direction of Prof. Black and his proficient corps of teachers. The building and equipment is modern in every phase and would do credit to a much larger city. The enrollment i9 larger than ever, being 255 in number, and this number will be greatly increased as the farm work is completed. The parents should cooperate with the faculty and lend every assistance possible to them. The teachers some "*" ? -j v?A?nOQ nf times are hanaicappeu. uov.nu lack of interest of the parents in the pupil. We could stand for no nobler cause, no higher inspiration or asperation than those things that would tend to improve our citizenship mentally. The reasons why are unquestioned. Let us be on the alert to raise the pall of ignorance from the fair brow of our county. Lexington is one of the oldest counties in the State and she has the school facilities. The schools are the bulwark of the county. Anything that tends to lessen the proper interest in to em is a uww at the coaDty which is bound to have pernicious results. Would it not be wise for the citizens of Lexington to take a day or two off and work the roads? In Kansas, Missouri and several other states all the citizens were called to work the roads a day or two, even the governors shedding their gubernatorial togas for the occasion and participated in the work. In North Carolina several counties have tried the project and as a result the roads throughout the counties were put into excellent condition. The split log drag was the main implement used, together with other tools of minor importance. i The best time to use the split log drag * is immediately after a rain. If the people are interested in such a plan, drop us a card and we will lend eyery assistance possible to bring it about. We believe every road in the county could be put into good condition in the course of a coup'e of day9 if the movement received the popular support of the people. This is in.no way petrtaiuing to a political machination sut is a simple suggestion to improve aral life conditions in the county. Teachers* Association. The Lexington county association will meet October 4, 1913, at 12 noon in the high school building at Lexington. The purpose of these meetings is to help the teachers know each other better, and to discuss educational questions. All the teachers of the county are most earnestly requested to attend and help make the meetings interesting and instructive. Every teacher has some perplexing problems. i r fe Cotton Thrrs On these days we will out-of-town friends and c rounding territory, and wi for same, and we also wa Your cotton is only woi J. B.

'The Needs of the Country Schools." ?Miss Ethel Dreher, rural school supervisor of Lexington county. Cheap Paint There are 1000 "cheap" paints and a dozen really cheap ones. That double word "cheap" is the cause of wasting money than good paint costs, two or three times oyer. Cheap paint is good paint; there is no other; no other is cheap. Th? f.\rr? wnr<is sound alike but their meanings are opposite. "Cheap" costs double. Cheap is Deyoe. Harmon Drug Co. sells it. adv. Special Premiums Overlooked Some of the specialjpremiums offered by the citizens'of Lexington were j overlooked in getting out the premium list of the Lexington county fair, i Vice President T. L.
