It may be*| they are just plowing out the stalks I from the old cotton rows, but most! all of the plowing seems to be in ! preparation for the planting of cot-1 ton. Better cut out some of it. And i may be we are mistaken. This is a time above all others to reduce acreage even if there is a mistake about j there being overproduction. We can't; get any sort of price for the stuff and there is no need to grow it. TV _ - ! I* * AMONG THE SCHOOLS ^ <5 ^^?<$.<^^>^><^^<$><?><$><$><3><S><^^ The state superintendent of education has called a meeting of the county superintendents to Columbia for Wednesday evening to talk over the various state appropriations and +<\ flnJ nut incf -cl-Vi prp wp arp. at in I?W UUU.

Just how we are going to be sfcble to say how much the special tax, or any other tax for that matter, of any of the .districts is going to be so that we may calculate how much state aid we are entitled l to have to run the school seven months under the state guarantee, I b?f ". ' .7 > , do net know. In some of the school districts a very small percentage of the tax has been paid while in other school districts the percentage is much larger, and to tell how much the state will fc.asked for under the law * we; will haW W- find out the local in.... \ ?

In this county the total collection of Jtaxes i^fc little above 75 per cent of "the total tax charged, but in some & of ^the school districts there is^po& - A . ! X-U - 1 ? sibly less than twenty per cent 01 me i total tax that has been paid. . ,C I went out to Union school on Friday afternoon 'by invitation to talk over the finances of the district with the patrons and trustees. I was sor> ry that so few of the patrons found |i' time to come out so that we might come to an understanding- But sev' eral of them were there and some were detained on account of sickness, ' and then this is a very busy time' for ^ ; the farmer, as he must be plowing and preparing for the next crop. The * ? >? j: ~-c scnooi unaer me unectiuii vx Bessie Pugh is doing a fine work this ? : year, and even at this busy time with -7% - the farmer the present month shows an average attendance of 24 out of r a total enrollment of 27. That is good and the children are making good progress but there is need of money to have any sort of'term for , the school to finish up the good work. - And then i there is need of a new buildinsr and some modern furniture. In the first place the district should vote an eight mill tax so as to get the state aid and also to have a school term of at least seven months. This will probably be done right away as p most; of the patrons favor it. For this school year an effort is being made to raise enough money by private subscription to give at least a " six months term this year. And the few who were present on Friday subscribed very near one third the. amount. That is not the right way | ' * * ? ? at I to raise money, Dut Deing m twndition in which the school is that is better than to let it stop and at the same time to lose the school spirit. On my way home I drove around to see Mr. E. L. Strauss and Mr. M. ? L. Strauss who live near by and who i were sick and not able to be at the i meeting These two brothers have j 5 ornnnc nrd ! prospereu m um nunu ^ gwv.u ??, have lived all their lives in this com-; munity. In fact were born right at the place where they now live. Mr. > E. t. Strauss owns the land which adjoins the lot upon which the present school house is located. Mr. M. L.J Strauss hao a family coming on and will soon have several children of EA . ? school age. Mr. E. L.
