Oil Mill Prospering-Good Sunday School-Tovn Growing-Good Cottoa Market-Free Schol arships. Pomaria, Sept. 30.-Mrs. F. E. Schumpert, of Prosperity, spent last Wednesday night with Mrs. J. P. Setzler. Mr. T. R. Cox, president of the Po maria Oil and Manufacturing Com pany was in Pomaria for a few days last week. His health had been bad during the whole summer, and his friends here were glad to find that it had improved very much. The directors of the Pomaria Oil and Manufacturing Company held a meeting several weeks ago and found the affairs of the company in an excellent condition. A dividend of 10 per cent was declared, and, be sides, a surplus was carried over to the following year. Mr. R. D. Jones, of Simpsonville, S. C., is the superin tendent of the mill. The editorial, in Friday's issue, touehing upon the question of those free scholarships which give more than tuition in our state colleges, is one in which a good many of our peo ple are interested. It is a question which they would like to see furth er discussed, both as to its ethics and its bearing on good citizenship. Cer tainly the way in which such schol arships are now conferred is open to objections, for those boys and girls who most need them, have little chance of obtaining them. Only those who are in circumstances that will -enable them to prepare themselves for college-those who would proba bly go to college anyway, even if they do not get the scholarship stand much of a chance of winning them in a competitive examination. - Mr. Roland Ringer is now clerk ing for the Setzler Company. He takes- the place of Mr. E. B. Feagle, who recently resigned to accept other work here. Pomaria cannot boast of any churches, yet she has a live Sunday school. It meets every Sunday af ternoon in the Bethel school house. The enrolment is 55 with an average attendance of about three-fourths of that number. This Sunday schoo~l nev er goes into "winter-quarters," as is the custom with some country sehools, but the attendance is as-Iarge during the winter as in the other months of the year. Mr. W. S. Seybt is the efficient superintendent. Pormaia changes cotton weighers each year. Mr. Albert Richardson was elected to 'this position some time ago and will discharge its duties for the coming season. He is an excellent' young man, honest and painstaking, and will endeavor to give a "squale deal" all around. By the way, Pomaria is one of the few places-are there any others in the county, or even in the state? in Ishieh the buyer pays half of the expense. of weighing 'the cotton This seems to 'be an equitable ar rangement, for there is no evident reason why, the farmer, rather than the buyer, should bear this expense, even though it is small. In proportion to her size, Pomaria is one of the best cotton markets in the county, and she keeps the price well up at the top. Comparatively very little was bought here this las' week, however; probably not more than a third of as much as the weel preceding. A good many of the far mers are getting to the place now .where they can hold, and they will not sell at the present decline. S. TAX NOTICE.
