V ??^ TEACHERS CAN AID | IN COTTON FIGHT Mixson Appeals for Cooperation of All. The State. An appeal to the school teachers * of the state to support the American Ortffrvn oecnfJntion Vijis h#?pr? hv uulw" -V . R. M. Mixson, president of the South ! Carolina Cotton association, who has J addressed a personal letter to every; teacher in the state. Blame for the fact that the teachers of the state are underpaid is placed by Mr. Mixson on the poor /tAffV?qcj KvAnrrVjf in +lio 1 vvuva uuki ik/i in vtiv j South for the last 50 years. With! a better price for cotton, Mr. Mixsonj says, there will be better paid teach- j ers. In his letter to the teachers Mr. I Mixson says: "You are no doubt familiar with the objects and purposes of the! American Cotton association. If so, i you must be interested in its success,! for your interest and advancement! is so intimately connected with its; success that its failure means great! loss .to every teacher in the South.; The teachers are not paid adequate j salaries. The majority of rural; school houses are uncomfortable and j inadequate. There is a\ reason for j this. What is it? Listen, and I will! tell you. 'The prosperity of the entire -South ; depends upon the prosperity of the ; farmers, the producers of cotton, i Had cotton brought a fair price, for i the last 50 years, there would have been billions of dollars more invest-1 ed in the South. The South would ! have good school houses, good roads, j good country churches, good homes, j the children would be in school in-; stead of in the cotton fields, teachers j' and preachers would be receiving!; salaries commensurate with the im-! portant work they are doing. Low , priced cothton, an impoverished i! South, is at the bottom of the whole i matter. 1 *?Tt~4-yv +V, Acn \ VV C arc 2tilYUl^ tu . conditions. The American Cotton! association is an organization c?| z bankers, merchants, business and ' professional men, women and far- j mers organized for the development and protection of the commercial in- . terests of the South, to see that the'! farmers are paid a fair profit above the cost of production for their cot- , ton. We have saved the South hun- : dreds of millions of dollars this sea- ' son on their cotton crop, and expect . to continue the good work for all ? time to come. We need your help . to complete our organization. Your ( dues "would be $3 per annum. We , need this, and more. We need you ! to ^alk and preach the organization ; of ihe American Cotton association.; Will you do this? \ "Remember that every educational\< advancement in the South will be j limited in its development, every j country school "and church will con- ] tinue as at present?inefficient and < inadequate to the work it is trying , to do. Every school teacher and preacher will receive inadequate i salaries until cotton brings a fair ? price to the producer. i "Won't you join our association j and help us to accomplish this great j work? You can render wonderful) assistance." * - j > CALL TO COLORED jj PEOPLE TO RALLY < jl Asked to Raise $100,000 for p Memorial Building. 1 !| The State. |] The legislature of South Carolina,' j at the 1919 session, made an appro- s priation of $100,000 for a memorial * building to be erected on the campus! - * ( OX tne outie cunege at wj.axij;cuuig < in honor of the colored soldiers, 1 sailors, nurses and other workers of < * the state who rendered service in < winning the great world war. j] It isj expected that the colored ] nennle will raise a similar amount 3 $100,000 to cooperate with the move- ;' ment and provide funds for equip- j ping the building with the necessary I: alcoves to contain books, tablets, I manuscripts and other records of the . * war, its purpose and achievements. The drive to raise this $100,000 was begun November 1, with the hope that it would be completed by the | 30th. Owing to many interruptions! and delays it has been decided to con- j tinue the work of raising the fund un til June, 1920. The commission is i urgently asking the colored people to; cooperate in the movement, and that i volunteers for service on the various; campaign committees be made. Each ( county is expected to raise a certain ;; quota. ,' In accord with the record made by ] the colored people of the state in the;' many patriotic drives during the j' great war, it is hoped that they will not fail in this supreme effort to unite with the state in the laudable under-; taking to erect a memorial to its; colored soldiers and preserve to their! posterity the records of their brave t deeds. Governor Cooper said recently: , "A state that does not remember fit-;' tingly those of her people who have served her greatly and nobly, even to the high degree of sacrificing life itself, is not worthy of them, and to. fail to do so will mean that, in the : end, she will cease to produce men and women worthy of being honor- , ably remembered. The sons of this .' commonwealth added, in the great war for free, humane, and just living, . a radiant chapter of heroic achieve ment to the already glorious history ; ^ C' #* ? ? +1* Pnnnlmn A ir> 1+11/la VJi Oliutu uaiviiiici. n.uu iix giavnuut ro them and as an immortal inspira-} don to like achievements in the fu.ure, the people of the state must accept the high privilege of erecting an appropriate memorial to her sons who died that such a government as ;:ers shall forever stand to protect nd bless mankind.

DECLARES RADICAL . FORCES MUST STOP | Public Must Stand Together Against Menace, Says Governor Corn- i well. New York, Dec. 22.?A warning . that forces working for the overthrow of the American Government are beins coordinated and showing symp 4 * '* - l- * x. u ~ toms OT unity wmcn caimuu ue maicgarded safely was offered by Governor John A. Cornwell, of West Virginia, in a speech before the New England Society here tonight. Governor Cornwell coupled his warning with the charge that the principal 1 responsibility for the existing situa- ' tion rests "upon the heads of the pub- ? lie officials who have lacked the i moral courage to stand against the [ threats of the radicals." He de- , clared that an enormous amount of ( dangerous propaganda is being car- , ried on the "hatching places" being New York and Chicago. Not an Economic One.

"It is not a fight in reality for fair 1 wage in return for an honest day's 1 work. Nor is it a'fight to reduce the J cost of living or for bettering living i conditions.

"It matters not to the men direct- 1 ing this s'truggle that all attempts at; i common ownership?that all efforts! and trials at socialization and nation-; a alization of property?have been I failures, no matter where, when or j by what people they were tried. Those j gentlemen who are seizing control of; < many of the labor unions are bent | j nevertheless upon substituting public j , for private ownership of all industry; j in fact, of all property. That doctrine, i foreign born, is the product of a Ger- 3 man mind." * M Strong Military Forces. j J Governor Cornwell declared his; 1 conviction that only a minority of the j < mpmhprs of the railway, unions fa- ( vored the Plumb pl<ln. He said that ( ~ the average citizen,^representing th? great American public, would put his foot down upon the labor unions ''if * tliay persist in their attempts.to run; 3 the country exclusively for their own j < interests." The speaker asserted that! 1 the conditions brought about by "the j \ enemies within our gates''* called forj j a strengthening of our military i forces and adequate pay for the work \ they do. Must Stand Together. ''The officers and men in our army * and navy," he continued, "are so ] grossly underpaid it is a wonder there < is a single recruit. This country will ^ have need of them before the menace ] [>f Bolshevism has been dispelled." He . concluded with a summons to all true Americans to stand together in de- 1 fense of America and American in- * stitutions. i RACE CONFERENCE HELD IN FEBRUARY < rt. ] j ne outic.

Already in the schools of the Pal- . netto State many savings societies , md thrift clubs have been organized, ; ind the children not only in, South Carolina but all over the district are ousy earning money and buying useiul things with it or Investing it in Thrift Stamps and War Savings 3tamps.

When all the * A - J 4.1* ~ 1 ?rorK was aone ne counxeu up mo noney he had put in bank and found that it "amounted to twenty-five dollars. Many of the world's richest men aegan life on. less than twenty-five ; iollars. But they saved their money regularly nad invested it wisely, thus ; igsuring success. The teacher In one of the 3-A grades has reported that one of her pupils has earned no less than twenty * Iollars by helping around the house, ! while members of a savings society Lhat flourishes in a 1-A grade have ; nade about twenty-five dollars aoing such odd jobs as feeding the chick- < 3ns. tying tobacco and chopping grass. Several boys who are members of ' school savicg societies which are particularly actlTe have bought :tothes with money earned in similar j ways. One little fellow did so well ] lelping his father that he was poid 1 ten dollars. As he received the noney he bought Thrift Stamps show- ' ing that he already knew how to savt j uid invest what he made. i W?ln Th?m ftavn.

In the lays when, to many tots, the price rf even a Thrift Stamp may be too mge to be paid all at once, and wb?v me just musj buy an occasional alllay sucker or a cent-apiece bite of jandy, lots of youngesters find it wist :o save a penny or a nickle at a time, rhe coin is deposited with the teach st for safe keeping, and she stamps :he savings card to show how muclj the child has put In his account SVhen the total Is large enough, it ?oes into the purchase of a Thrift Stamp. I Piling up money of your own is a freat game, played in this fashion, md a game that is daily growing In 'avor .in South Carolina schools. ?ILE UP YOUR DOLLARS SO THAT NO ONE CAN KNOCK j THEM DOWN. Many a tired lad hasr slipped his ;oat on when the whistle blew and jaid derisively: "Another day, another lollar. A million days, a millionaire." pta said a mouthful in bitter jest md without knowing it. For th? dolars do pile up if the stack is not cnocked over. . Some financial sharpshooter is always gunning for your dollars. They jan pick them off at a mile like An* lie Oakley cracking clay pipes in a jhooting gallery. But if you put some >f your dollars under cover before my one can draw a bead on them, ? n cnnta t r\ r t Vl Q nrnfl. full leave a sum oi.wt iui yi v? :eer and the grafter. The safest protection from those iharpshooters is War Savings Stamps >ought every pay-day. If you give :hem your whole roll to shoot'at they hit it for a perfect score. Make :hem waste a little ammunition. War Savings Stamps are absolutely lafe. They pay a high rate of interest and you can get your money IN FULL when you need it. When they pile up, nobody can knock the stack jver. I PROVERBS. Seest thou a man diligent in his susiness. he shall not stand before sings, he shall not stand before nenn men. Prov. 22:29.
