The small grain crop in the state is looking well and there is more of this crop planted this year than usual. The contractors are making good headway on the road from Prosperity to Kinards. One force is at wrork at Gum Springs and one at Mr. L. M. Fellers between Newberry and Prosperity. We notice that the Home Bank of Barnwell has a plan to encourage the raising of chickens. And that is a good thing and we hope to see the project successful. If we are not mistaken the Commercial Bank of Newberry a few years ago undertook to encourage the improvement, of cattle in this county and bought a number of cows. We do not "recall how the project came out or whether it really did any good or not. I v ~ # | There is more road work being j done in this state today than at any one time in the history of the state, j and the work is generally of the kind /vthat will last if given the proper attention after it is done. But there is j one thing that will have to be done) to preserve the roads and that is to ; find a method by which the speeding on the roads may be stopped. And * about the only way we can think of is to prohibit the sale or use of any car in this state that is speeded beyond a certain mileage, say thirty miles the hour, and hang the man who sells or uses any car speeded beyond that mileage. COMMUNITY CENTERS ! We have just received a circular1 lette* from Mr. P. P. Claxon, the U. S. commissioner of education at Washington calling a meeting to discuss the building of community centerSy, This call and the books that have been printed, and the speeches that are being made and the way people are now trying to create the community center reminds us of what we .said some years ago about "me and William Jennings Bryan," that "me and Bryan were just about ten years . ahead of the procession." +?? triiorp or?A +V10 Knrrlan nf UV/IIIC J(t?i O U^V V?AW wv?4 Vall our talks to the schools and the children and the patrons was about the buildmg of the community center and the making of the school house the community center. We are glad that the people and the officials have reached the conclusion after all these years that we were right at that time, and that the thing to save the country district was to build the community center, and the way to build it was to build a good school in the Community Tt was fmo t>ipn nnH it. is truft today, and that is what we are en/ deavoring to do. We advocated then the building of the school house and the building of the teacherage and having the teacher to be a part of the community and a community leader and a citizen of the community all the year round instead of the few j months during the short school term, i We still believe that this is the only' plan to save and build up the rural districts, and it may be more press-1 ing today than it was ten ^ears ago, | but if our people had just started then we could have had several of these i community centers already functioning. But we are pleased to see the j interest that is now being taken and j wish that our expense account would permit us to attend this conference in Washington, but the legislature in its wisdom has not given a sufficient expense to do the traveling that is necessary in this county, and we have j to draw on the meagre salary that is j given the officer. But we will try not J to neglect any duty that we may be j called to perform in the county. THE JUSTICE OF IT. TThe Winthrop College News prints an article in its issue of March 18 carrying an article from the Rock Hill Herald giving warning that the college will be materially crippled if not prevented from running through hte fiscal year for lack of expense J money. The Winthrop News then makes some comparisons showing how liberal the legislature was witn tne three colleges for men and how niggardly in reference to Winthrop, or words to that effect. The following is from the News: "The legislature failed to give the relief asked for. While requiring-' all college revenues to be turned into the state treasury, it failed to pro vide the money reqired to pay janitors and laborers now employed at reduced wages; it failed by $7,000 to provide money absolutely neces sary to keep up the college machinery and college plant; it failed to provide one dollar for the employment of a few additional teachers to care for additional students next session; it failed to make any provision to comj plete the teachers' home and the en-; I larp-pmpnt of the librarv. both in i I ???" ? I course of erection by action of a pre] vious legislature. "While denying Winthrop college the money necessary for running expenses and to complete buildings al- j ready in course of erection, it gave to another state college over $15,000 to employ six additional teachers. $1,600 to raise salaries of teachers! already employed and $62,500 for re-1 pairing old buildings. We do not say j j these appropriations ought not to ! ! have been made for another institu- j tion, but we do say most emphatically ! that if made, then Winthrop's re- ; quest for running expenses and to employ some new teachers to take j i i sn tipw students next ses-1 sion ought not to have been denied. "It is clear to any one that discrimination was shown against the one j college established and maintained, by the state for the education of the J women of the state. The appropri-1 ation bill just passed carried appro: priations, directly and indirectly, of approximately $1,400,000 for the three state colleges for men with an enrollment of approximately 1,700} ! students while carrying an appropria- ' tion of anly $398,694.60 for the one! state college for women with an en- J rollment of approximately 1,100 students. "Where Is teh fairness and justness to the women of the state in such unfair treatment of the state's college j for women?" ' rnl ? ' I'aw 4-V*of flio loo'iclfl. I inese ilgUlCS WUVI buav uiiv +~t> ? J ture gave to the four higher instituj tion of learning some hundred or i more thousands of dollars more i i ;than to common schools of the state. | And in these colleges there are, aci cording to the News, 1,700 boys and 11,100 girls, a total of 2,800. In the j common schools of the state there are; , 195,000 white children, not to speak, < of the 400,000 negroes at all. This. is around 96 per cent of the children ' 1 ctnt-p. And these children, or J a great majority of them, will never j have any other school and never j be able to go to college. And these boys and girls in college should be i able to pursue their college courses^ without the aid of the state at all,' though we are not opposed to the j state supporting colleges, and yet we j are now and have always been of the j opinion that the state has been more ; j generous and liberal to its colleges | I than it has been to its common; | | schools. Suppose some one who is; IgOod at figures just make the calcu- j j lation how much more per capita is j ; given to the boys and girls in the col-; lieges than is given per capit:i ;o tne j boys and girls in the common schools 'and who must be dependent in the | very nature of the circumstances ai! most entirely upon these schools for ? all the education they get. We grant you that the legislature j made -this year a big increase in the ! appropriation to .these schools but I look what it did for the colleges andj then reach your conclusion. And be-! ; sides that the legislature at a previ- j i ous session passed a law guarantee-; in? certain things to the common i schools if the people themselves would do certain things. The people met J j the conditons and the legislature fails i by around $125,000 in one case and; | $100,000 in another to provide the! | means to carry out its own act. In guaranteeing a seven months term at. I a specified salary for the teachers j where the districts did certain things the legislature fell short around $125,000 to provide the means. We do not like to make comparisons, but "T i J ? -r^i I since tne i\ews nas uune we icci ( that we might do the same thing for j its enlightenment. And the teachers in these schools must comply with the , law to get anything and to do so many of them will have to scale the salary because the amount provided will j pay only about 80 per cent of the j guarantee. -- j For the World's Title. j Patrons of a Boston restaurant no1 ticed tacked on the wall a sheet on j which was printed in bold characters: "The umbrella in the stand below j belongs to the champion heavyweight ] firrvifo*. rt-f tvio wnrlh TTp is fomins": I VA VltV tf V4.*V%. I right back." Five minutes later umbrella and paper had disappeared. In their place was another notice: "Umbrella is now in possession of the champion Marathon runner of the world. He is not coming back." Severely Damaged The amateur huntsman sighted1 along the barrel at a distant bird and 1 pulled the trigger. There was a roar j and he ran forward, to find nothing! but a placid tree toad hopping about [ , his business. j "Not so bad, not so bad," mused' the hunter complacently. "I didn't! kill him but I certainly knocked all the feathers off him." i I ^ The * Scrap Book THAT BROUGHT HIM TO TIME Young Man's Dire Threat Too Awful for Prospective Father-in-Law to Contemplate.

HEROIC FRENCH WAR BIRDS Manv Piaeons Received Decoration for Their Services, One Obtaining the Legion d'Honneur. It remained for the French to confer in their own charming way the honors they felt wore due their pigeon heroes. Birds which performed distinguished service or showed uiiusurI courage in the line of duty were awarded the Croix de Guerre or the Croix Militaire. Diplomas with the citations were { issued and kept at the headquarters I of the French Pigeon Service, and because pigeons cannot wear medals on their breasts special bands, with the colors of the decorations, were made for their legs. A bird which -will go down in French history just as surely as Field i Marshal Foch himself is the one which carried from Yaux to Verdun the last j message for help sent by Commandant \ Raynal before the Germans captured the fort. This pigeon flew through a hail of fire and a gas barrage, and, wounded and gassed, dropped dead as It delivered its message. It was award- j ed the Legion d'Honneur.?E. H.

In fact, it was a very uncommon thing a few years ago to , see a woman with a gun in the woods, j but there were a few, generally 11a- j tives, who hunted the deer for food more than for fun, but this season J there are a great many women in suitable hunting togs and equipped with good guns who are following the j deer with the men. These women secured their preliminary experience in hunting smaller game. Dog's Eyesight Aided. Boston is famous for the erudition of Its Inhabitants, most of whom WPjir glasses, but a rather unusual sight, even for that city, was seen when a spaniel was noticed trotting along with : tortoise shell goggles across his aris- { tocratic nose. His owner says that the j dog's eyes have been affected by the sharp winds when taken out motoring, but being a Boston pup, it has probably strained its eyes by too much study.

Having lost both his arms in a wreck some j eevs ago, a man signed his marriage license at Harrisburg, Pa., by holding the pen between his teeth. f | The Wise King Nomolos 1 King Nomolos was the wisest of i j kings who have ever reigned and ev- ( ery Tesday from 7 to 9:30 of the eve- j i ning he would distribute wisdom to the most foolish of his subjects. One day there came to his court a j very foolish man. He had ten worn- J en running after him, all demanding j he should marry them, and it was not: law in the country that should take i unto himself more than one wife and j the foolish fellow dare not face the ! wrath of nine even to gain the favor | of one. He was not dreadfully keen on j marrying even one. j And he appealed to his king for wisdom, and the women stood by glowering. "Let me think," said the king, removing his crown, and calling upon his two scratchers in chief to scratch his head for him. And having thought for the space ! nf fVivoo octoricVc tViP crrpnt. mnnnrrTi J commanded. "Let the ten women step forward and give their ages." Silently, one by one, the ten worn1 en disappeared. There has been none so wise as i | Nomolos since his day. I In the brave days of old before Volsteads name was listed in Who's i Who, there was a certain larmer wno j formed the habit of celebrating on | his monthly trips to town for his supplies. One afternoon, at the close of one of these excursions, feeling weak and j low, he stumbled to where he had left his team, only to find that someone had unhitched the horses ana driven them away. "Ezra Perkins," he said to himself sadly, passing a hand over his brow, "if you're Ezra Perkins you've lost a pair of durn good horses. But," brightening, "if you aint Ezra Perkins you've found a durn good wagon." ] His Heart in the Game Down-hearteH and weary owing to; an unexpected Reverse on the football j field, Bill, tinl enthusiastic captain! of an English village team, wended his way homeward.
