NEWS OF POMARIA. ?" P'?"P?ing?Good Suild School Tov/u Growing?Good Cottoa Market?Frco Scholarships. Pomaria, Sept. 30.-<Mrs. F. ?f- ProsI,ority? spent le Wednesday night with Mrs. J oetEler. Mr. T.R. Cox, president of the F maria Oil and Manufacturing Coi pany was in Pomaria for a few da last week. His health had been b, < wring the whole summer, and 1 Inends here were glad to find that had improved very much. The directors of the Pomaria ( and Manufacturing Company held meeting several weeks ago n< found the affairs of the compai m an excellent condition. A divide: of 10 per cent was declared, and, 1 sides a surplus was carried over the following year. Mr. li. D. Jon. of Simpsonville, S. C., is the superi tendent of the mill. Abe editorial, in Friday's issi touching upon the question of tho tree scholarships which give mo than tuition in our state colleges, one in which a good many of our pe pie are interested. It is a questi, wnich they would like to sec furt er discussed, both as to its ethics ai its bearing on good citizenship. C< tainly the way in which such scln arships are now conferred is open o jections, for those boys and gii who most need them, have lit! chance of obtaining them. Only the who are in circumstances that w enable them to prepare themselv lor college?those who would prol Wy go to college anyway, even tney do not get the scholarship stand much of a chance of winni them in :I competitive examination. Mr. Roland Ringer is now dei ing for the Setzler Company. ] takes the place of Mr. E. B. Fca-'who recently resigned to accept oth work here. Pomaria cannot boast of a churches, yet she has a live Sund school. It meets every Sunday t ternoon in the Bethel school hou The enrolment is 55 with an avera attendance of about three-fourths that number. This Sunday school n< er goes into "winter-quarters," is the custom with some count schools, but the attendance as^ large during the winter as in t other months of the year. Mr. W. Seybt is the emcient superintende Pormaia changes cotton weigh, each year. Mr. Albert Richards was elected to this position some ti ago and will discharge duties for the coming season. lie an excellent young man, honest a painstaking, and will endeavor give a "square deal" all around. B.v the way, Pomaria is one of I few places?are ilicre any others the county, or even in the stated | in which the buyer pays half of I expense, of weighing the cott This seems to be an equitable rangement, for there is no evid< reason why the farmer, rather tli the buyer, should bear this expen even though it is small. In proportion to her size, Poma is one of the best cotton markets the county, and she keeps the pr well up at the top. Comparative very little was bought here this 1; week, however; probably not m< than a third of as much as the W( preceding. A good many of the f mers are getting to the place n where they can hold, and they v not sell at the present decline. S TAX NOTICE.
