WINTHROP COLLEGE AS SEEN BY MR. McKENZlE OHII COUNTY Ht'I'LHINTKNDKNT VVIUTKH lNTtiltldMTINOI,Y OF TMIH FINK Hi'HOOIi. Dr. Johnson's Invitation to tho bounty Superintendents to be bin guests wuh accepted and enjoyed greatly and with great profit. The purpose was to bring all the school forcoH In clutter , touch and through discussions and exchange of ldeatt to get a larger knowledge and a truer conception of school matters and conditions, and to say it wau n big success itt not overstat ing It. The County Superintend ents dlHcussions covered tho entire superintendents work, both In ad ininiHtration and supervision, How to keep the school records, public school taxation, apportionment of school funds, consolidation of schools, special levies, employment of teachers, training of rural teach ers, visiting schools, boys corn clubs, trustees associations, im provement associations, how to stim ulate better school support, certifi cation of teachers and how to pre vent employmeut of tlwose without certificates, were the moBt impor tant subjects discussed. These ditt cussions attracted large crowds. The following important resolu tion and one far-reaching in its ef fect on the weak schools of the elate was adopted by the Superin tendents: "Whereas, the manner of tho ex penditure of money raised for school purposes Is rigidly prescrib ed by law, and "Whereas, tho experience of ev ory County Superintendent shows the imperative need for some discre tion on the part of the county boards of education in the expendl- ! ture of school money, bo it "Resolved, that it is the sense ! of the Association of County Super- j intendents that an equalization fund j of not less than five thousand dol-, lars should be placed at the dis posal of the oounty board of educa- J tion of each county to be expend- j ed by them in such manner as they j ?may tlilnk best to strengthen the schools of weak districts and to^ promote the educational interest^ of tho county. In consequence of the wide variation-of the school funds of tho 4 3 counties of the state, the Association respectfully recommends to the general assembly an appro priation of this amount, or such a part thereof as may be necessary to each county from the state treasu ry, and continue this annually In such amount as in its wisdom may be necessary. All expenditures of the said equalization fund shall bo made on proper vouchers, and In such manner as the oounty board of education may determine." It Is to be hoped our represen tatives will work for this excellent plan. This plan has the hearty ap proval of the Department of Educa tion. Wlnthrop College is a great In stitution and one will have to visit it to get a true conception of the fine grounds and stately buildings. One is not impressed by appear ances of extravagance in architec ture, but rather of economy. All parts of the great plant can be reached under roof from the spa clous dining hall. Electric lighting, heating, baths, good water and spi ral fire escapes are maintained. One will find a good library too that shows evidence of having been constantly used. The Summer School now being held there will Impress one not on ly because of tho number in attend ance, but the business way and the clock-like precision with which it is conducted. Never seem to be in great haste but every one has about all can do. There are about three hundred teachers in attendance upon this Hummur school, and most of them seem anxious to make the best of thin opportunity for Improvement. Good lectures are given that are lu Mtructive and very helpful to the teacher In all phases of her work Yes, Wluthrop Ih a flue (ruining school but as I see it, the coat to u tstudent to complete full course la ho large that uhe can't afford to teach at the price our rural schools are able to pay, and It taken so long also to complete a courae that geuefally the marriage Me loaea her to the achoolb. ' We ueed a two year course to train teachera for the rural achoolH. The flrnt year ahould be devoted to primary work and the second to elementary work and presentation. This would not Consume ao much time, and one capable of making a teachera cer* tiflcate could take this ahort courae and get a definite training and be prepared to do effective work from the beginning of experience as a teacher. 1 hope to see our rural schools given more attention along thin line in the near future. Dr. Johnson Ih in full sympathy with the rural school and something In Its, favor may soon develop. Printing of the lift tor Kind at The Chronicle Job Hhop. For Hale. 26 bushels good Seed Peas.

That it* io the very tblug mo?t all men (lo who undertake to raise cot ton to buy everything he needswlth )iits cotton money. Now if every man of the targe mujority of ({row* e;?? of cotton were good business men and belonged to a good bual nuhu organization with sufficient Intelligence and capital to protect the intercut of cotton grower*, then the prospects of this Hpeclulty would be better. Hut the situation l?, that the larger per cent of cotton la produced by negroes and enslaved white people, who are subjected to all manner of schemes and shrewd transaction* of the well-trained and organised ootton handling and cot ton trading clement, who by concert of uc can control the price of this stress cotton until it in all out of the hands of the producer, at pricea to suit the traders and con sumers of cotton Irrespective of profits or cont of production to the grower of the ataple. This stress cotton, which compo^ea at tlmea the larger' l?art of the crop?worth bll llona?you may say la, at the be ginning of tho season, at leaat, ab solutely In the handa of the Ignorant claaa of producera and cotton beara. And all that claaa of cotton growers who don't grow food cropa aro forc ed to take prlcefe made by the reck less element in order to fill hungry bellieu. * * * The Independent Fanner. How Beautiful the thought, how pleasant the anticipation, how glow ing are the hospitable Invitations of this glorious Southland of ours to come and be an independent farm er. What a commentary upon tho intelligence, what a reflection upon our genoral character to live in a land "flowing with milk and honey" and then buying tho milk and the honey too. Our state and national farm de monstration men have proven by reputable witness that corn has been grown at a cost of from 16 to 35 cents per bushel and we buy mil lions of bushels at 7 6 cents to $1. per bushel. " y " Our farm demonstration workers ?and Individuals, too?have prov en that we can produce pork at a coBt of 3 to 6 cents per pound, and millions of dollars are spent every year for pork at 12 1-2 cents to 20 cents per pound, and there Is scarce ly any article of food- crops that we buy but what can be grown athome with equal profit. Why this deplorable state of af fairs among our "all-cotton farm ers?" At first, thought one would naturally conclude that our exper imenters are the biggest Bet of liars on earth or our "all-ootton farm ers" are the biggest set of fools on earth?one or the other. But neith er of these conclusions are correct solutions of the problem. The plain facts are that many all-cotton farm ers are aware of these truths, but they are bo firmly chained down to a system and habit of growing cot ton crops on credit, that they have not the manhood or knowledge how to break the prison chains of the credit and cotton king and be free men by growing their own supplies at home. * * * Farmer's Educational and Co-op erative Union is the name of our only state-wide farmers organiza tion, and the educational feature comes first in our efforts, for the reason that if we can teach our "all cotton farmers" how to break loose these prison chains of growing stress or credit cotton by proper ro tation of crops, that the victory for profitable prices for ootton and the Independent farmer has been won. Now Is your time to make a break for freedom by planning to grow a supply of every food crop that your land will produce. Join the Farmers' Union and feel good. Our Farmers' Union men have learned that we cannot grow an over-supply of cotton and bulldoze the world In to taking the crop off our hands at our price whether the consumer needs it or not. Wo should not "cuss out" the New York cotton ex change for something we did our Belved; or vilify the merchants for making big profits on food stuff that we can grow at home and keep this big profit at home for our own benefit. Be an independent farmer or quit. Bee Our Line of Calendars. CITATION. State of South Carolina, County of Kershaw. By W. L. McDowell, Esquire, Pro bate Judge. Whereas, F. F.
