C., S pt. 10, 1912 THE COUNTY SCHOOLJ The school bouse should be t!io ceu t ? ? i > f population Around It the veung aid iba.old should allow their Interests I ? cooler and their bllcolions to cling I < the school bouse of to-day, in all 1 .? noatuess and beautv, as close w | the heart* of the people at was the "old field school" where ma-y of our h :st men of today got tbeir atart In Ijtters through the inteasive svstem, i vol ud lag the hickory wither The ?ohool house should never be olosed. Ir should always be the plaoe for neighborhood gatherings. Along thla l.ue Gov. Woodrow Wilson saya: "There Is one thing In which I have o*en very muoh tote rested In reoeoi y art You know J used to be a shoo ? ? master and the interesting thing aboui t te schools of the United 8tates is t'?%t the United States makes so limit ed use of them. "rut-oAuut^le you take our sobool houses all through the side, standing here, there and everywhere, in the cltlea and they are oloaed for the most part between the achool session of one day and the aohool seaalon of the o?*Dday. They are public buildings, They belong to the communities Th y furnish ideal plaoes In wblob ?o assemble and discuss public affairs Tbej are just what we ueed for neigh Ix.ibood confet-eDOes of every kind. And yet it was reeertred for a reoen da e for somebody to suggest that tb> Hchool houses be made social oentreB; ?hut they be used for every kind 01 legitimate conference. " ' ? 1 be bacic to the farm" moveroen: s* iit- never bn a reality until the achoo Iiuum* becomes the centre of interest Sinking schools, debating societies, musical concerts, phonograph leading ui-iuk uei* iioors together aod to idtt. musloai programs ? theae all tend t broad n thru- minds and mnko then more liberal ? Ex. 1 he ab'>ve is along the line wt adv< cited v, hile in the campaigt this summer, and we are glad that the views expressed by Gov. Wil son are in accord with the ideas wt have been advocating. We tried tc impress upon the people of th* county the necessity of feeling that the school house in a communit) should be looked upon as the school house of the community just as one feels about the church. It should be a place wli re public meetings could be held, where tht hdies might assemble in social meetings which were for the uplifi 0 tihe community. Gov. Wilson and others have gone further thai we did, and are advocating that ttt s -i tool house be open the year roune 1 vrhaps th.s would be a good idea. Li t at any rate the patrons of thi s.nool should be made to feel thai t j is is my school, I have a direct in i, i est in it. Public meetings foi t io benefit of a community at tht school house will go a long way to wards creating a community inter est in the school. And such an in terest, once thoroughly aroused, will do much towards improving tht conditions of the schrol houses as well as the work in the schools. The second prirjjary election for county offi?jr?t3 being held today. 1 he election for state officers, how ever, has been called off by the state executive committee pending an investigation of the election last Tuesday week at which fraud and irregularity is charged. The state committee meets again tomorrow, but whether or not it will announce the result of the first election is not known. We have never had in this state such an experience before so we cannot tell how it is going to come out. There are some who belitve that the matter will be al lowed to run along untfl it will be uo late for another primary to be U Id and the election will be settled in the general election. From pres ent indications it seems certain that a settlement will not be reached to morrow, for the chairman ef the sub committee is calling upon the new?>papeis to publish the poll lists of the eWction. We do not knovv how many of the papers will feel like undei taking such a task as this without the certainty ot being paid for It. Not many of Uiem, however, we imagine would be willing to undertake such a job. We are glad that no evidences of fraud have appeared in this county. We aaid a couple of weeks ' age that it waa time for us to quit talk ii g so much politics and get down to oilier matters, looking to material improvements, and suggested that wo start some new enterprise. Already steps are being taken to ( iY i nize sn ice company. The Ice I ant will in all probability be a success. Work will begin at once and by next season Camden will be n inufaduring her owr ice and sup plying the surrounding communities l nis is a step in the right direction. A gentleman was in our office a days ago, from the lower sec tion of Wateree township, and he s*ld that there were a number of c*ses of small pox in that section, and that it was spreading. He wanted us to say something about it. He thought that something should be done to prevent its spread but as it is nothing is being done. 1 We refer the matter to the proper au th >rities to take such action as they may deem proper. We will be glad to give the name of our informant and the section referred to if called gjpja ler it, I Mc Ak.^uaia v^nrunicle makes the following comment on the presi dential election with reference to Roosevelt aid 1 aft: As Color.-!

I French Market Coffee Is the National Drink of the South EVEN when French Mar ket Coffee could be had nowhere but at the old French Market in New Or leans ? a hundred years ago ?it was widely known. Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay and the gallants of the old South were enthusiastic lovers of this rare old French coffee. Today the identical, historic Frcnch blend is per petuated by a Unique Hygienic Roasting Process and genuine old French Mar ket Coffee is packed in air tight* hermetically-sealed tins and delivered anywhere in the world In all its freshness and delicious aroma. In the South, especially, so great is the demand for French Market Coffee that It ha9 become " The National Drink of the South." F rench M vket Coffee Unlike All Others The smooth, exhilarating quality of French Market Coffee is totally unlike ordi nary coffees. The French Market Mills have the great advantage of the first selection of the best of the Pan-American coffees. These fine coffees have never been exposed to the in jurious effects of a cold north ern climate. The berriea are rich in everything that goes to make a perfect coffee. French Market Coffee Perfect Process of Roasting and Packing The celebrated French Mar ket Coffee process is quite dif ferent from the ordinary roast. It drives out a larger percent age of gums and oils, while re taining and intenaifying all the aromatic and beneficial qualities of the coffee bean. The grinding ia done at ex actly the right time to hold the full, delicious flay or that has always been such a fea ture of French Market Coffee. The market-men of the French Market think nothing of drinking 10 to 15 cups a day of thin deliciously aromatic and refreshing beverage. At Your Grocer*! ? in Air-Tight Tina BtJt you must be sure to get the genuine with the pic ture of the French Market on the can. Try it once, and you'll agree "There is only one real old French Market flAvor."

Your Checks Are Receipts "Pay-as-you-go" is an excellent maxim provided you pa*- by check. It's foolish to carry money on your person, except for the smallest purchases and incidentals, for aside from the care and inconvenience, there is always the d> nger of theft or loss. But with a cl ed< book of this hank in your pocket the incon venience and worry is climated. You write out a check for the exact amount of each purchase, your check stub is a record for reference and the check itself will later be returned to you by the bank and may be returned as a receipt. Some people may think of the check account as being compli cated. Nothing could be more simple, however. We keep books for you and there is a record for your every transaction. This bank by its conservatism has brought gains to many a depositor who a^ked for advice. It will do the same for you. Your account will be welcomed.
