There is a movement on foot now to have a big day in this county right here at Walterboro when some of the leading officers of the Farmers Union and other note< speakers will address the farmers on this vital question, and endevor to effect an organization. If it found to be practicable the county will be organized, and we believe it will be of great benefit to the farm ing interests of the county.

I we must give attention, and that is taught, and to try to create an AN EDUCATIONAL INQUIRY. The teachers examination was held Friday at the court house. There were twenty applicaants and •f this number only two secured certificates! There were sixteen white and four negro applicants, and the grading of the papers was done on the most liberal basis by the County Board, and every point at all doubtful was given to the appli cant, but it was impossible to give even a third grade certificate to eighteen out of twenty applicants! The qualifications for a third grade certificate are CO per cent, average, with not less than 40 per cent, on any one branch. Now there is something wrong with an educational sysstem that 0 will send up this number of appli cants- finished products of our county schools and only 6ne out of ten qualified to receive a certificate. What is it? Where is the flaw in our educational system? Is it the quality of our teachers? Or is it the indifference of our parents? Is it because the fathers and mothers do not value the education of their children? Can it be that the young men and women of this county can not take an education? Let us look into this matter a little, and see if we can find the cause and a remedy, and if we find the remedy let us apply it. Qi 1. Our teaching force is inefficient. We do not mean to say that there are no good teachers engaged in the work in the county. There are. but there are too few of them. They are not prepared to teach, and the quality of instruction given by them cannot be such as will educate in the true sense of the word. How can a teacher, herself uninformed, teach the child? Can one get blood out of a turnip? 2. The cause for this inefficiency ■ugr be due to the small salary paid If the trustees of a school—this mat'* the thorough education of our people. The surest sign of promise for our future in all our recent history is the campagin for better schools which has made such wonder ful progress in the South these last ten years. And this is hardly an exaggera tion. The hope of the South is in • heeducation of its people, all its people. Every ignorant, inefficient man, w hite or black, in a community makes it poorer, makes everybody in the community poorer; and if he •an not be educated to do good work, jo ought to give way to some one who can be so trained. If the South’s sons are illiterate, if your spoils are illiterate, noother.qualitites keep them from defeat in the fierce industrial struggle of today. Our aim should l>e to spend still more money on our schools and to make them train more and more for actual life, while the work of experiment stations, farmers’ institutes, demon stration workers, farm papers, etc., in educationg the older farmers who have passed out of the schools, cught also to have the fullest encourage ment a people can give.” REV. GEO. RULAND Sayt Vino! Built Him Up and Strengthened Him When Rundown and Overworked. “1 have used the cod liver and iron preparation, Vinol, as a tonic and 1 do not believe there is any other medicine that can equal it. It built me up and strengthened me when run-down and overworked. Vinol has dona for me more than was claimed fer it.” Rev. Geo. W. Kuland Keense, N. H. Vinol is an honest medicine, it contains no injurious drugs, but it actually does contain all of the medicinal, curative and body building elements of cod liver oil actually takeu from fresh cods’ livers without a drop of oil to upset the stomach and retard its wot k, and tonic iron added. Vinol is recognized tjifouch .ut the world as the greatest strength creator for old people, weak, sickly women and chil dren^, aid to build up strength after sickness. 0 \ > is all unexcelled tor ba« i ,r coughs, chronic co! - an t r«u ciiitis. fails to give satis ac- ti» - \ o 11 ways return money 1 n tl« 1 . : «i John M. Klein, 1) uz- g st, V- Iterboro. We up ret that lack of space pro ven M several interesting articles from appearing this week. interest in the cause of education in this county. A careful reading of the papers handed in by the applicants reve;ls a woful lack of knowledge on some subjects. They were weakest on physiology and hygiene, pedagogy, civics and current events U. S. his tory and algebra. The greatest ignorance was shown in civics and current events in local government and in the happenings in the world. Not one of those standing the exam ination named all the candidates for president and very few gave any but Bryan and Taft. The penman ship, spelling and punctuation of the papers were all excellent, but it seems very doubtful if any of the applicants read a daily newspaper or many of them any newspaper. Trustees should insist on their teachers reading a daily newspaper and giving their pupiles the main current events, even if the school districts have to subscribe to the paper and pay for it. Here are some question for every thoughtful man and woman in Col leton county to ask himself or her self, and answer if possible. Can 1 expect my county to improve under the present slipshod educational system? Am I doing my full duty to my county or to my child? Upon whom will the responsiblity for the ignorance of my child rest—the county or me? Who bears the blunt of the ignorance in the county if it is not the one ignorant? If my child is not educated properly, will I be responsible? Do not laugh over these answers but weep over them and resolve to better conditions from now on. To the ones who failed: Try, try again. Next time you maySsucceed. Q. Explain the difference be tween direct and indirect taxation. A. An indirect tax is ■ a tax on property belonging to one person but paid by another, who perhaps is using the property at that time. Q. Show how you would present the subject of "tense” to a sixth grade. A. First 1 would have the child spell the word and if they could not pronounce it. 1 would tell them what it was and after they finish I would read it over for them so as to make the lesson plain for them. Direct taxation is^oll and school tax. Indirect taxation is on per sonal property. Roosevelt is a republican and is in favor of colored people, otherwise I think he makes very good ruler. The duties of the Vice President is required to help the President in his reports or anything that the I'.\ id' iit seems lit t" tell him to do, i and if the President ures, the vice president takes the office. Georgia Was founded at Savaqah by James Oglethrope lor the Pur pose of making a treaty of Friend- shup With the Indians. The candidats for presidert this year was John Gary Evans.

Montana has the largest popula tion, Ky the largest area Texas the iron country. “The use of the skin is that it pro tects the flesh from injury and without the sikn no one could live. The difference between direct and indirect taxataion, is direct taxation means taves paid when they are due, and indirect taxation means tax^s not paid when they are due. The important battle of Queen Anne’s war was fought at Utrecht. The forms of government existing in the colonies before the Revolution was the church doctrine because one that was not a member of the church could not vote. Q. State some rules of hygiene which you would stress in the school room. A. Erect setting and walking. The difference between direct anc indirect taxation is described as follows! “The weatly pays a larg tax direct The honest and indus trious labors pay the same tax in direct,” Another says: “Direct to come up promp to hand, and In direct in a kind of miss pass, anc not at hand.” Q. Describe briefly how you would teach beginning reading. A. by cat, dog. boy, man. ccw, and hogs. "I do not believe in whipping with a whip but preper a strap.” The grand juries attend to all busi ness of the highest importance as all state business; the petit juries attend to business connected with the towms and counties.
