Somet Iiiim In Amrust. 1915, we. the
citizens of Ka.sf Kershaw, petitioned
tin* Hoard of Education for a new dis
t rf?-f to b?* granted us and as We un
derstand the law. we were entitled
to the same, hut as time rolled on we
could not hear anything, therefore
we wrt?te the clergyman and the gen
tleinan of letters to know why the
iH-tltlon hv?d not been granted. etc..
hnt alienee was our re?i>onse. Now a
new year has dawned upon us with
out a district school house, or any as
surance of the same. Now our sins
have not overtaken us as much as
our mistakes have. A district adja
cent to ours was formed from a jmrt
of school district No. 3. ami has a
new house costing about $l,f>00, and
an old one which we hel|>ed to build
and we wonW have l>ee? thankful to
have had In our territory, has been
given to the colored i>eople, leaving
us destitute of our just earnings and
the riirhts of the Innocent and hel??
less children. Now as "unforeseen
events , sometimes , blast the finest J
plan$, we surely realize that the rod
Of Iron Is over us." Remember Uz
zlah's pride and punishment. Lesson

"A man's pride shall bring; him low :
but honor shall uphold the humble In

j equity will be meted out to the chil

THE GAI4X)PER
Will be The Offering at The Majestic
Theatre Monday Evening.
The story de**ln with a divorced war
correspondent who divides his time
between dodging alimony, hunting dl
vorced wives and various creditors. As
a means of relief from his financial
troubles he makes love to a brewer's
widow, proposes and is accepted. War
breaks out between Turkey and Greece
and he seizes the opportunity to dodge
his trouble and a fiancee who does not
appeal to him to go out as a war cor
respondent in Greece. It happens that
& young American millionaire at the
same time Is sailing for Africa to hunt
big game. On the same steamer are
two charming girls who arc going to
the front as Ked Cross nurses. One
of them turns out to be the war cor
respondent's latest wife; the million
aire Immediately falls In love with the
other. Arriving in Greece, the war
ci>rrvsi>ondent finds dodging his form
er wife too strenous ami resigns his
position. The millionaire offers to take
his name and act as correspondent for
him. From then on there are all sorts
of comical misunderstandings and sit
uations. Scene after scene is a riot
<>f laughter up to the very end where
misunderstandings are cleared up, the
millionaire is accepted by the Red
Cross nurse, and the war correspond
ent reunited with Ills former wife. ?

TIMELY POINTERS FOR
ORCHARD AND GARDEN
(Clemson College Bulletin.)
Th La Is a good time fur root grafting.
Winter spraying can be done more
effectively If the fruit trees are prun
ed before the spray is applied
Plant garden peas as soot as thf
ground is In condition to be worked, ^
using one of the hardy round-seeded
varieties.
How should a grape vine be pruned'
at the time of transplanting? is a;
question asked. Out back tp within
four iaehesof the ground.
I>o not neglect the shade trees. Go
over them "carefully now and remove
all dead or decaylQg branches. Make
smooth cuts close: to the body of the
tree and paint wounds with paint of
an inconspicuous color.
Do not let the tree-planting season
pass without setting out some shade,
trees and shrubbery about the home
grounds. They improve the appear-,
a nee and value of any home.
If you are in doubt as to the best
mehod of pruning a particular kind of;
tree, write to the State Experiment j
.Station and ask about It. Such InfofcJ
mat ion will be' gladly given.
Every South Carolina farm home
should have a garden that will pro*
duce fresh vegetables every day in the
year. Are you planning to have such_
? year? it can T>e aohe.
