Complaint has been made to Mayor K. X. McCorkle by local school au thorities that several families are per mitting-children of echool age to re main away from school for little, or no reason at all. The city has an ordinance requir ing children between the ages of seven and sixteen to attend the public schools of the city. This ordinance provides fines of flOO. The Mayor has made it plan that h© proposes to enforce this ordinance. “We will arrest the parents of these de llnquentH.” said the Mayor, '‘unless there is compliance with the require ments of the ordinance.” t Seedlings Available At Forest Nursery Approximately one million sUMi pine seedlings are available at the State Forest Nursery at Sumter, ac- ; cording to County Ranger L.

Approximately 278,000 seedlings have been planted in Kersliaw Connty by landowners this season, in addition to those given to farmers free by pulp- Iwpod companies. taiuMTs who oRually plant a large number of trees, faced with a shortage of labor, have not been able to plant as many trees as they planned but have, instead, continued their reforestatlpn work by planting one or two thousand secd- I lings. And other farmers, who did not have any help, planted trees them- I selves. Cuntr.'.ry to general opinion, treo [planting is not especially hard work, [and farmers whS have planted seed- Ilings say that they can plant any- [where from one half to‘one acre a day. [At that rate, those interested bi plant ing can figure on putting out a thous- jand trees in as little as or at [the most, two days' work for one man. BOND BUYING ON THIS FARM IS 100 PER CENT—R. S.
