BsISsh river and reederville schools m The residents of Bush River and ^ JReederville have decided to make some changes in their schools. Two years ago petitions were signed to consolidate the two and this was not ^ "^one because of the fact that some the pupils would have too far to >-ccyne to school. Mr. Gunter rural f sefiool supervisor visited the two .schools and suggested that a part of , Reederville district join Bush river and build a school near Bush river church. Recently a petition was signed to this etfect and an election for tax is now ordered in the new district. The county board of Laurens and the county board of Newberjft have agreed to form a j|^fcnt district of the remaining porT?r.o^*?-rT7;iio district. This j HI' vL Atccuw > u? ? BR acted upon in March. H^H These/ two districts have each a HH^e-teacher school and both are as^^sessed around $70,000. Neither has r sufficient pupils to secure the State k guarantee or to be a rural graded [ school as it takes 40 pupils to be a rural graded school. By combining * * ~ rlic+ript with and iorming a ncn ^ T^urens the Bush river school can * ttie first year become a rural graded -.^chool with two teachers. The joint fc ^district will be strong enough to have the State guarantee a teacher M for 7 months at $100.00 per month. Y For either of them to attempt to es' ? tablish a two-teacher school the tax burden would be too great as the state would hot help unless the enrollment is secured. Thic <?qmp situation is true of many other small districts, and. thus the Equalizing law cannot benefit them ii^il they make themselves stronger. . g There were three elections for >Jipecial school tax Saturday and all ^of '^hem came off with unanimous J votes in favor of school improvement. j The vote at Midway for ST.000.00 ^ * J - | worth of bonds was z-i votes ior bonds" and none against bonds. The vote of the Tramvood people for a 5-mill tax was 15 for the tax ahd none against. These Tranwood peok pie intend to have two teachers next year and soon to have a new school house. The Deadfall electors unani& m^usly voted a 2-mill tax in order to* get a good teacher for their V school, being one of the best onef teacher schools in the county.

At the age of sixteen he answered his country's call, and during the war he was a true, faithful and fearless soldier of the Southern* forty years as postmaster. During this time he endeared himself to all army. After the war he served for by his courteous manner andfidelity to duty.

That we bow in humble submission to the will of God, the Supreme Architect of the Universe, we feel deep regret that our lodge ; has lost a true and loyal friend, whose lovely Christian character has furnished us an example worthy of imitation. 2nd. That having known him, we ! bear testimony to his many virtues and graces of heart and mind and j are assured that we have been benefited by association and shall always ( cherish his memory. I 3dr. That while lamenting our loss in the death of our friend and brother mason, we wish to extend our sincere sympathy to the bereaved family and to commend them to Him ! who alone can comfort in the dark hour. > 4th. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the sorrowing family : and be published in the county j papers and inscribed in our mmuie book. Geo. D. Brown, Jr., L. M. Wise, J. A. Sease, Committee. 'EDMONDS PRAISES PROGRESS OF SOUTH i Cotton Association Landed for its Part in Championing Cause of Growth. I Xews and Courier. Columbia, May 7.?Richard H. Edr' ' monds, editor of the Manufacturers' j Record and one of the best known ! economists of the South Wednesday, j telegraphed from Asheville a message ! to the South Carolina division of the I American Cotton association in which j he heartily commends the work which I the organization is doing. Mr. Ed; monds had been invited to speak be! fore the division but left Columbia I before the meeting was held. His i message follows: "The greatest business achievement for good of the first half of the nineteenth century was the development : by the south of a cotton industry ! which represented more capital inI vested than-invested in the entire | manufacturing industries of the 'United States during the same period I l ?o Vi a -I + 1-> ^ cinu WHICH Icll^KTlX j cuv i and the finances of Europe and ! America. "The greatest business achievement for evil of the second half of that century was the complete domination of the South's cotton producing interests by the cotton manufac: turers and financial interests of | Europe and New England to the de| gree that they enchained the cotton i growers of the South in economic | slavery and poverty to a greater deTree of suffering than the slavery of I the black man prior to 1860. Tried to Beat Price Down. "Every man who during tne lasi fifty years has sought to beat down the price of cotton has to the extent of his ability been responsible for the appalling poverty of the cotton literacy which has crushed the South, for the bad roads and other ills fastened upon this section by the ~ - ? _ j enslavement of the people wno raisea the bulk of the world's cotton. "The progress of civilization may be measured by the consumption of cotton goods and the advance of the world will be helped or hindered by the extent of the supply of cotton. For half a century the South has done the greatest business missionary work in human history; it has impoverished its soil, drained the vitality I of its people and borne great poverty 1 white it enriched the world with its cotton. 'It is safe to say that the South has thus made the world's welfare contribution of not less than $25,000,000,000, or, say, as much as the cost of the United $tates of the world war. Only through working women and children in the cotton j fields and only through continued j desperate poverty to produce cotton ! to sell in competition with that raised ! in India, where labor is paid about j S10 a year, was it possible for the ? il" ~ n-y/uifin or nnHnn OUULII LU yjll vww... | "The cotton crop in fifty years | prior to three years ago sold for cnehalf of its intrinsic value. But so great was the power of the cotton ini terests of Europe and for a long * time of those in New England against a fair price for cotton, that prices were kept below the cost of production and th?~soil and the cotton ? . ctpnrlilv drained of ..J vitality, ^very man engaged in fighting for a fair price of cotton, and that price has not yet been reached, may well feel that he is doing a religious work which means more and better schools, more and better churches, more and better home comi forts for millions and better roads and a general advance of the mental and moral education and religious life of a section in which live onethird of the nation's population. "To lift from these people, the pall of poverty, to quicken their lives in every sense is in itself a mighty missionary work for God and humanity. Tremendous Good Being Done. 4,I rejoice, therefore, in the splendid work of the American Cotton association and in bidding Godspeed to those who are carrying on this irreat campaign. I believe I am cooperating in a work which will redeem the cot ton growers from poverty, which will ! stimulate the educational and religi ious activities and help to advance ! every goyd cause in the South and in doing so prove a great blessing to the whole nation, for the development of the South means the enrichment of the nation and the rounding ~^ K".rv.i.c-rilvif n-p notinnol I'lH U1 U Ul Uiltlt'l v?x HUliuiiuii life and of patriotism. The world is! desperately short of foodstuffs! a food famine of such an extent as to make present prices of foodstuffs very low is impending:. In such a food scarcity with inevitably higher prices the germs of revolution are < hatched. | The safety of our country and of civilization largely depends upon our utmost efforts to increase our food cnnnlv. Thp nation must look to the ; South for increased food supply. It | cannot depend upon other sections. It is, therefore, vital for Southern farmers, regardless of the price of cotton, to raise all of their own grain and provisions and at the same time do as much as possible in helping to feed other sections. J* ii- - * :?? I "TO mis iasK me Anienucwi association may well address its most earnest efforts in order to secure an ample food production first, with cotton as a secondary or surplus crop. In this diversification of agriculture lies safety for the South and for the nation." , Mrs. Kellog Fairbanks, of Chicago, and Mrs. Beverly Mumford, of Richmond, Va., who have been ap- j pointed as members of the United j States Assay Commission, are the first j -L - V _ il U .1 women 10 oe inus nunuicu.
