Should Ger man offirers take our ships into port, searrh them, and then cargoes if found to he contraband or destined for Brit ish use. no serious rumplamt would *hat w« have too many chances with the Germeri- cans who have hitherto been so ac tive in the interest of the Fatherland. ‘Those who are not for us are against us.

As a matter of fact, Barnwell County, one ef the ‘How country” counties, is well up among the leaders in the State in the per capita expenditure for education—in fact, it leads some of the “up coun try” counties along educational lines.

To unify regulation there j 'should be a complete, harmonious, con sistent and relnU'd system.
