South Carolina seems to be about to embark on a voyage on unchartered seas, and the worst thing we see about the matter is the fact that McLaurin, Stevenson, McQueen, Lawson and sev eral others we might name, who have contributed so much to shaping the remedial legislation now under consid eration retire from office on November 3. It would be great if there were in Marlboro, Chesterfield and Darlington, Democratic nominees who would see thc-ir way to step aside for these men so they could continue in the service of the state in this omergency, and we are inclined to think also that Senator Tiliman miiht do well to resign just at this juncture in order to make way for some one who is physically and men tally able to represent the state in the United States Senate.

WATO N, Miss Theodosla Dargan Becomes Sri&e of S 0 Plowden. Statesburg, Oct. 24.-"Marston," the colonial residence of Col. and Mrs John Dargan, was the scene of a beau tiful wedding when, on Tuesday even ing at 8 o'clock, their daughter. Theo dosia, was united in marriage to Mr Samuel Oliver Plowden, of Manning Before the ceremony an elaborate pro gramme of classical music was render ed by Miss Elizabeth Dirgan on the piano and Mrs. John L. Frierson on the violin, after which Mrs. M. G. Palmer, of Cartersville, with herlovely sopranc voice, sang "Your Lips Have Said You Love Me." This was followed by D Hardelot's "Because," beautifully ren dered by Miss Elizabeth Dargan. -The bridal party then entered to the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March, passing under white arches filled with liebted candles, in the fol lowing order: The ushers, Messrs T. H. Rodgers and S. E. Nelson; the bridesmaids, Misses Wilhelmina Dar gan and Harriet Plowden, gowned in pink, and white and carrying lighted candles, followed by the maid of hon or, Miss Jean Dargan, who wore pink embroidered chiffon and carried pink roses. The bride then entered on the arm of her father, Col. John J. Dar gan. Her exquisite type of brunette beauty never shone to better advan tage than on this occasion, in her wed ding gown of shimmering white with lace bodice cut low and having pearl trimmines, b'er veil being arranged in Juliette cap fashion. She carried a huge bouquet of bride roses. She was met at a beautiful improvised altar by the grom and his best man. Mr. E. R Plowden, Jr. During the -ceremeny, performed by the Rev. William H. Barnwell. Schumann's "Traumerci" was softly played. The bride and room left Immediately after for an ex ended tour througb Florida. The color scheme of pink and white was artistically carried out in the re reshments. The bride is well known throughou he State as a youey lady of unusual alents. possessing a voice of rear beau y. The groom comes from one of Jlarendon County's oldest families and s an extensive planter. There were Vuests present. from all parts of the tate to witness the ceremony. EcLaurin Has Hopes for Forcing Good Priceis in 1915. . Former Senator J. L. McLaurin of 3outh Carolina, referred to by Gov. 7ole Blease last night, as the "best osted man in the world on the cotton ituation," thinks the southern farmer an close up shop next season and make noney. Gov. Blease declared Senator Mc aurin has made a more exhaustive itudy of conditions than any other man n the country. He will speak for Gov lease if South Carolina's plans for re ieving the situation are asked for at oday's conference. "The Aldrich-Vreeland act has prov n a failure and has not accomplished what the secretary of the treasury led ;he people of the south to expect when ,e Cotton Congress was held at Wash jneton In August," said Senator Mc aurin last night at the Chisca. "The ew currency act can take advantage >f it throigh state bonds to the extent f taxing up the distressed cotton and yroviding for the needs of the dompstic nills at 10 or 12 cents a pound. "If this is done, it would fix a bor -owing value for cotton at about eigh t :ents, which would be sufficient to liq ddate the expenses incurred in raising ,be crop. "The trouble will not be eliminated, iowever, until the farmer learns the esson of diversification. A partial re luction of cotton acreage next season ill not fill the bill. If the cotton ac -eage is only partially reduced there vill still be a surplus and prices will ag and hit the bottom. "At a recent conference in New Or eans, Harvie Jordan, quoting Hester, aid the visible and invisible supply of ~otton on September 1, was 6,238,000 >ales. The present crop on hand, ac ~ording to a Federal government re >ort, indicates 15,000,000 bales. Mv wn opinion is that it will not be under 6,000.000 bales. To the present rop and supply on September 1, add ,o00.000 bales raised in India, Egy pt Ld other foreign *countries, which ould give a total of 28,000,000 bales. "The consumption for the world is stimated at 14,800,000 while the con umption durin;.. peace times is estima ed at 21,000,000 bales. Therefore ,here will be from 13.000,000 to 14,000, 00 bales to carry ever in 1916. Thus ou will see that a partial reduction of text year's crop will not have the de iired effect. "We in South Carolina are strongly n favor of the total elimination of cot on next year. The farmer and plan er should arrange some way to hold is cotton, raise corn and hoes and teep down his own expenses, and in is spare time go fishing. At the end f the year, he will find that he has nade more money, a great deal more han if he had raised more- cotton, for hen the cotton he has will be worth a freat deal more than if a 1915 crop had een raiseid. And he will have been aved the expense of raising it and will uave had enough foodstuffs to have ept him comfortably through the rear."-Memphis Commercial-Appeal, Saturday.

ANSLEY, Pastor. 1700 bushels Seed Wheat, Oats and Rye, at very lowest prices for cash only Brief Smznemy of School Imprevamsts kfo 1907 to 1914. The various forms of school improvement being continuous by nature, and frequently the efforts of one year being merged into the operations of another year, it becomes a difficult mat ter to single out and show spe citically what has been accom plished in any one year, I have therefore prepared a brief ex hibib covering the past six years, which wili give some idea of the growth and development of school affairs in ihis county. At the close of the fiscal year June 30th, 1909, the sum total of the school revenue for this coun ty was $38,961.33, wbich includ ed a balance of $66,19.021brought over from June 30uh, 1907, leav ing the net amount of resources of $32,342.31. This amount in cluded $4833.26 recei red from the dispensary school fund, and $600 from state high school fund, leaving the net amount re ceived from the usual sources of $26,909.05. The. total revenue from atl sources for the fiscal year ejad ing June 30th, 1014,was $65,182. 76. This amount includes items from the following sources; Bal ance June 30th, 1913, $12,436.71. From the State for various pu' poses. such as High school aid, Term extension, Rural graded schools, Buildings, Libraries, 5,264.79. Being a total of $17,701.50. Deducting.this from the grand total: leaves the net resources $47,461.26. Comparing the net resources six years ago with the net sesources for the year just closed. we find a gain of $20,552.21. Contractea by sources from which these various amounts are received, we find the amounts as follows: For 1907-08. 1913-'14. Poll tax .....$4643.80......S5494.07 Three mill tax 11,323.39 .... 12,694.17 Doe tax........1202.83.......1641.66 Special........8700 95...... 16119.48 The three mill tax for 1907-08 showed tha there was some thing like a property valuation for the county of $3741130, while for the year 1913-14, the valuation was- about $4231390, being a gain in the taxable ~va'ue of $4,902.60. This acconuts for the normal increase in the gain in the three mills tax. The most extraordinary gain is to be seen in the amounts raised by special taxes. Six vears ago there were in the county 28 school districts, only 20 of which were then levy ing a special tax for school pur poses. During the past six years there were organized and created five new school districts, and two joint districts with oth er counties. Consolidations and transfers have been effected in two instances, leaving at the present time 32 districts, of which, all, except five are now levying a special tax for the sup port of their schools. Many of the districts have increased their levies from time to time, some now going the limit of eigbt mills straight school tax. This does not include any bond tax. During the past six years there have been conducted twenty-one elections for special levies for the support of the schools, and five elections for bond issues for new school build ings, making a total of twenty six elections held towards the improvement of our schools. Thus we see that the people have rallied to the support of their schools in a very commend able manner, and have more than doubled the amount of special taxes during the past six years. When the dispensary was vot ed out, many thought our school would be crippled very severely, but the way in which the people have responded to their needs cannot be more str-ikingly shown than by this comparison of the amounts raised by special taxes during the period herein men - tioned. In the way of better buildings, our people are also responding in a very encouraging man ner-. During this period, there have been erected in Olarendon coun ty for the white schools alone 19 new-,buildings costing in the aggregate more than one aundred thousand dol lars. Various other buildings Larec been repaired and impr-ov ed, so that the entile improve ment to the white school build ings and grounds foots up some thing like $118,000. There has also been marked improvement in the character of the buildings used by the colored schools. The figures are facts given above do not include any for the colored schools. If time permitted, I might enter into other statistics from whice we might draw interesting lessons. My object in present ing the above facts, is that all may see what is being done for the improvement of our schools, and that if there are districts represented here today in which there has no substantial im provements bee imade, tha: you may tak~e encouragement from what others h. ye done. It would not be amiss for each one of you to study the condi tions of your own districts and see if perchance there may not be an opportunity awaiting you to go to work for the advance ment of your own community. During the time I have been in office, I have stood for better teachers, better buildings, more money and longer terms. It shall be my object in the future to stand for the same and to work for the same whenever the opportvnity presents itself. Respectfully submitted, E. J. BROWNE, County Snnt. of Edncation.
