S' Tuesday, October 18, 1921 1 ' ii We are delighted to see that the! street force is plowing up and rolling; and scraping and mixing, the top soil tl on the College street from Friend to; tl the residence of Mr. Z. F. Wright, o ' That is the only way to built! a top p soil or a sand clay road, and when it ti is done properly, and the right sort i] of top soil or the proper mixture of1 c sand and clay is had, there is a road h that is just as good as the paved ' t! street, and in our opinion better, if b kept up, except that there is more j, 'dust. You just watch now and see j if this street is not just as good for; driving as the, paved streets. And j tl / _ _ _ ? j there is more of the same sort of work, c being done, and if properly done we 0 will have some geod streets that are 11' not paved. Then this sand that is' t: hauled up will not be washed away to be hauled again. We take great j n pleasure in commending the street ' S( force for this good work. i I - It] We are printing several articles lg. that are good that we have had in j s type and coirid not get in on account J ^ of the crowded condition of our col-! ^ umns with advertising. Read the one j . on cooperative marketing and then1 ^ the articles of Mayor Blease and Mr.; g Wicker. We hope this ends the con-jr, troversy. What we want is coopera- j ^ tion and not comparisons of wa?as. | We would like to see Nance street: ^ paved right up into Boundary from! n L Friend, and will be willing to cooper- j K ate with the property owners to do; ^ I this, though we live in Boundary and, j( p fronting Nance. It would be only two j* short blocks to do this. How about j ^ . COTTON, THE MONEY CROP j I ||; "If fanners want to decrease the j a weevil infestation next year, they; t MsHf ?1 -- i?i rrVif i-i nir r?ln\V linHpT i -f IiSUUUlU UCgUi J. Igliv iivx vu |/.v ? , u stalks and if they will plant cover f g crops I will stake my reputation that j ]< the boll weevil infestation in Grsen-1 a wood will not be over 20 per cent d next year." This is what Dr. W. W. j i] Long of the extension department of. h Clemson college is quoted as, saying c in Greenwood the other day. j t, Dr. Long has experience, and he' ti knows what he is talking about, and a he is interested besides, and the plan' c [he suggests is very simpie ana may tl be easily carried out by any farmer j i] in Newberry county, large or small, i n and-what applies to Greenwood coun-| 0 ty will be good for Newberry, then: by raising cover crops you are im- j g proving your land, and the plowing b under the stalks is good for the land j c also; \ ; 1 What eotton was grown this year s has all opened and the picking should i be through almost by now, and there v is plenty of time in which to turn the i t stalks under good and proper. And j jalso to paint the cover crops. " ^ejpay try all sorts of things, and j it is well to do so, but nature nas j t ||t made this section the cotton section' p If of the world, and cotton is now and 7 must remain our main money' crop j ^ I and we must go on making it in order j that the world may be clothed as well j r as fed. We have always held to the a position thpt in this particular ses- J 2 lt tion of the cotton belt hi which we ( ^ : live, that the only sensible thing for 1 0 ? the farmer to do was to grow all thej e food stuffs that he needs for the farm on the farm, and then to grow all the^ IK"" V.a rpo-nrrilp?;?; of Drice. + I wtuvn UW WM?V? * A and that is still the thing to do. We j-] are not suited bv nature to have as I +1 * a money crop for the entire section i ^ any other thing than cotton, and even ^ with the boll weevil we will continue, ^ to grow cotton, and, must in large measure, depend upon it for our mon- n ey crop, and it is right that we should ^ Meat remains high to the consum-^ er, but we heard a farmer say not so 0 long ago that he could neither fir.d a market for his sheep nor the wool! that came from them, and they were in fine condition for the butcher.! Then why encourage the farmer to a grow sheep more extensively than he t: needed for his own farm. We are p not discouraging the growing of sheep v or cattle or any of the other things, b hut we must realize the fact that by 1 I\ the very nature of the climatic and v pother conditions this is the country v in which the clothes of the world must be grown, and we must fight and conquer the boll weevil. And while we are at it grow enough to live on and 0 a little to spare. u j ^ Big shipment of new corsets with up to $1.50. ..All sizes. t( Your choice, 98c. Mimnaugh.

I desire to i lake a comment or two on both meet- j igs. ^ I The teachers meeting was one of ne best ever held in Newberry, and he attendance was good, especially f teachers, but I was a little disap- ; ointed that there were not more i rustees at the meeting. Mr. Swear- j igen was present and we had a dis- j nf cr>V>Ar?l matters before i UOOlVii V/X OV1UV I^VMVV* is address. The lunch furnished byjl he science department of the New erry high school was fine and en- j 8 oyed by the teachers. ; One of the main things I desired J 2 i ^ iat the trustees should know is the ; ^ hange in the law as to the enrolment! g f pupils. The law which required ^ * ' i - n-J iff hat tne cnua oe enronea in me uia-jj? rict in which it resided, unless legal- i ^ f transferred, has been repealed, and'H ow the child is to be enrolled in th? ; m :hool which it attends. In fact as g read the lav/ it is very indefinite on i g he subject of enrolment. I sent a ^ pecial and personal invitation to the ! 5 enator and the members of the house ul rom Newberry county to attend this S neeting. Mr. Counts told me some flj [ays ago that he could not leave his g ank on Saturday, and Mr. Blease B aid he would be present but he did Ig ot come. vMr. Kibler wrote a note g hat he had, a previous engagement' B /hich prevented his attendance, much fi o his regret. Senator Johnstone did H ot attend nor do the courtesy of S cknowledgi.ng receipt of the inyita-j H ion. I regret very much that these ju sgislators did not attend the meeting, i g Via cnVinnl law is in verv LJ etauo& L-UV w ( reat need of revision and being made'ij lore concise so that it could be easily ES understood and applied by the people, m /ha have to apply the law. In sever- |S 1 of the districts which have \ oted ; ? he eight mills tax under the guaran-! j| ee of a seven months term they are [ J? ;oing to have a very difficult prob-; g am to be able to comply with the law g s to enrolment, on account of chil-ig ren in the district attending school ^ i other districts, and the trustees ? :ave elected teachers after taking a B ensus of the district, and knowing g hat they had the children in the dis-1H rict, and could make the monthly 9 verage attendance, but now that the jj| hildren are going to other schools 9 tiey.will fall a few short of the min-'aj mim enrolment, and will, therefore, 2 ot be able to meet the requirements g f the law, and what to do they do not a now. The only thing, unless they !| et aid from some other source, will g e to close down the school and the i?4 hildren will be the ones to suffer. 8 'he law was amended at the last ses- g ion, and I will be frank to say that g did not know about it until a iew ^ reeks ago when I received a copy of J he school laws from the state super- g ntendent of education. The trustees of the St. Phillips dis-' S rict have decided to start the com-'S iulsory attendance on Monday, the S th of November. Parents and guar-'B ians will please take note ?of this. , g There will be a Hallowe'en party B t Midway on the evening of October;? 8. In connection with it there will I >e an oyster supper and the friends f the school are invited to be pres-|B I hope all the teachers understand g hat in order to get pay for teaching.I hey must have a state certificate and gj 11 - xmncf !
