From every reliable source of it*format?on it begins to appear that lifecountry is upon the verge of a real business revival. A spirit of optimism. tinged with nervousnea; . it i true, but none the less real, prevails throughout the country. Ther? is no reason to fear. The aggressive huti ness will find a good season ahead, vnless all signs fail. The cannery promoters hope t > have everything ready to take can of four or five different products nest season. To do this will require every dollar of the proposed $20,000 capital The plant will thub he able to op-nate practically the year round, and can hr made of great service to the piooucer rf the county. We hope to have the total capital necessary subscribe! ihi^ fall. Almost anyone with h willing mind could take one share. OUR TAXES. Dean Swift, in his Voyage to La? puta, tells of an ingenious person at the Grnnd Academy of Lagado who had been eight years "upon a project for extracting sunbeams out of cu.1 cumbers, which were to be put i.i \ f phials hermetically s< a led, and let out to warm the air in raw inclement summers. He did not doubt that, in eight years more, he should be able to supply the governor's gardens with sunshine at a reasonable rate." We Ho not. oiinnnio persons in South Carolina who would believe in any such scheme as this: Bjit there art* many persons who believe that much the same thing can b^ done in the way of taxation. That was proved to our satisfaction during the recent primary by the thousands of votes cast for a candidate who promised that he would reduce ou>' taxes enormously, and yet give ui more than we ere pow getting for our money. It could not be done, of course, any more than the sunbeams could be drawn out of the cucumbers and bottled for heating purposes. Which is all merely a preface the suggestion that the subject c" taxation is about the most vital subject in South Carolina toddb, and is -i subject which must be well and deeply studied by the men who will govern the state, apart from all prepossessions and theories. That there must be economies in the administration of the public business we need not say There are probably numerous oountu-i in the state where considerable money could be saved by the adoption of good business practices. This may be equal ly true of expenditures for state purposes. During the period of inflation and "high-rolling," the value of th ? dollar was forgotten by the individual and there is not a doubt that extravagance invaded the public business likewise. It is the extravagance, the wast" incidental to slipshod practices, that must be weeded out. That is a work of detail to be done earnestly and without prejudice. ? But, though we are heartily in favor of such economies, we are not In favor of any tax policy or program th??t| may be directed to a mere paring | down of the budget at the expense and to the impairment of things that, are essential to the forward progress of the state. Not economy, but disaster, lies in that direction.' We cannot get something for nothing; the important thing is to see that we get all that is properly coming to us in return for our tax monev?Colnmhfn Record.

Brazilian Exposition Will not Close Until March, 1923 Rio de Janeiro, Aug. 25.?Although the Brazilian officials are not disposed to postpone any part of the Centennian Celebration program, which will open according to schedule September 7, it is now generally conceded that a considerable part of the big exposition will not get into its stride before six weeks or two months after that date. Many of the exposition buildings, including the Ameri: can pavilions, will pot be ready for ! occupancy before October. Work has proceeded, however, to the point where it is obvious that the exposition will be well worth seeing. Organized, arranged ahd constructed with the art characteristic of the I Brazilians, the groups of buildings I will do credit to the far famed beauty l of Rio de Janeiro. The various edifices which will house an<l portray the | principal industrie^ and scientific and artistic development of the <y>untry reflect to a remarkable extent the spirit and character of the Brazil ian people. All ?-11 i nil vn v lie uau IIUUUI19 Will UC ' epfesented, and their buildings, most of which are of permanent construction will form what will be on? of the i most charni'ng sections of this capital. Each of these buildings will contain exhibits of its country's arts tnd industries. The Centennial program includes the largest military review ever held in South America. Chosen troops of the reserve from every Brazilian fctate will march. There will be open ai?* operas and ^symphony conerts; national and international conventions; free motion picture shows; a naval review.; civic parades; Olympic games, official and unofficial entertainments and receptions; a carnival, and fireworks displays. Fortunes are being spent for special and spectacular illumination effects. The conventions and congresses range from the International Rail way Convention to the Canary Bird Fanciers annual meeting. Extraordinary interest centers around the livestock show which is expected to draw exhibits from every cattle-rais ing country in the world. The Good Roads Convention, Agricultural Con gress, and Engineering Conference are among the important events on the program. The importance which foreign countries attach to the Brazilian eel ebration is indicated by the men they have chosen to ehad their delegates to te official ceremonies. Secretary of State Hughes heads the American mission; Admiral Thaon de Re- ' vel that from Italy, and Marshal 1 .Toff re that from France. It is anticipated that there will be ' a constant attendance of from 75,000 to 100,000 people during the entire exposition, which will not close until < March 31, 1923. 1 . * , Adamsburg 1 Mr. and Mrs. Ben Adams were vis- ' iting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. 1 Vanderford, Sunday.

He is 69 years old and declares his reason for giving up the pension is that he is unable, owiafc to weak health, to take part in the judicial work of the House of Lords. That has only increased the surprise his action has occasioned. Such an exhibit of public spirit is rare indeed. The Britishi government makes generous "provision for the future welfare of its best paid office holder? when they join the .ranks of thos* who have retired. The speaker of the House of Commons has a salary ol x?,uuu a year; ne may retire wnenever he wants to and enjoy a life pension of ?4,000 a year. The Loir Chancellor, who fills a role in th< .House of Lords analagous to th. speaker of the House of Commons receives a salary of ?10,000 a yeal and retired pay of ?6,000. National Forgat-Me-Not Day Cincinnati, Sept. 21.?America'i school children are to enter into th? plans for National Forget-Me-No< Day, Saturday, November 4, for thi disabled and wounded American vet erans of the world war, according t< announcement by.C. Hamilton Cook national commander of the Disable< American Veterans of the Work War. Captain Cook, who has jusl arrived at national headquarters ol the Disabled American Veterans af1 ter a tour of the eastern states, re ports keen interest in the Forget-Me Not Day movement on the part ol hundreds of schools in many cities and towns. School principals and teachers have secured the co-opera tion of the children in the great na tional activity of making the forget me-nots from paper and other ma terials; and turning over the result) of their efforts to the local commit tees arranging for the November ' "Day." One half-hour or an houi each week is devoflfcd by the childrei to the making of the little artificia flowers that are to be sold as "For get- Me-Not Day" favors throughou the United States, on Saturday, No vember 4. .New schools are taking up th< practice, reported captain cook, win predicted that during the cominf fortnight the greater number o. schools in the United ^ates, public private and parochial, will have join ed in the national offensive of flower making, that is to result in splendii assistance and relief for the man: thousands of America's wounded am disabled hereoes of the great war. National headquarters of the Dis nbled American Veterans of th? World War announced that mayori of cities and to\*is throughout th< United States are naming Citizens Committees to take an active part ii the "Forget-Me-Not Day" move ment. Parents are Fined When School Children are Lat< Charlotte Amelie, St. Thomas, V I., Sept. 21.?The Virgin Islands hav< he nearest to 100 percent attendant in the public schools of any state territory or possession of the Unite< Ct?tAn 15 umtca, uccim'uuik to comparative sta tistics from Washington. The school year which has jusl opened probably will show as' higl a percentage of attendance as lasi vear, which was a fraction less thai 99 percent. It is not unusual for t school to report 100 percent attend ance week after week. There is compulsory education foi all children from six to 15 years oi age. When a child is absent fronr school without,proper excuse the parents are fined 20 cents for each day of absence. Parents are fined 10 cents for every time a scholar if tardy. When sickness is reported a? the cause of absence, school nurset in* cstigate, and only on certificate; from these school nurses is the excuse of illness recognized. Simple treatment by the nurses frequently makes it possible for a child to return to the class room. With this system of fines "playing hookey" is practically unknown in the Virgin Islands. When the United States by purchase acquired the Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917, there was already a well established public school lystem, and it is estimated there was ess than five percent Illiteracy in the sland. The school syatem, however, hen extended only to the sixth grade. Since then the seventh and eighth rrades have been MtnKHuhML y, and two junior high schools have >een opened, with the junior year beng offered this year for the first ime. In another year it is planned o establish the fourth and last year >f high school study. Children in the Virgin Islands aTe inxious to learn, accertfing to School Mrector Nase, head of the insular * lystem, and the collecting of fines qr tardiness and absence does not 'ield move th in* $10 per month. This rear there are 15 school teachers rom the United States giving in* mictions in the Island schools, wMle 11 of the other teachers are Virgin slanders.
