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.

IN MEMORIAM.
On March 23, 1920, Prosperity
Lodge Xc. 115, A. F. M., was called
on to mourn the death of a faithful
and beloved brother, Levi Samuel
Bowers. 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.
Since we have enjoyed the privilege
of his leadership and his assistance
in every good work we desire
to pay a tribute df respect and honor
to his memory by offering the following
resolutions:
; 1st. 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.

'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

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."
