The entire student body of the school sang several cc4chy and patriotic airs, Includii-g ••Dixie” and “Tent ing Tonight.” An eloquent and appropriate ad dress on the character of the grtr-t Confederate chieftain was delivered by the Rev.

The members of the "Colleton delegation came home to enjoy their brief respite from official du ties, following the trip to Cedar Springs Friday and the holiday granted from then to Monday even- ingg. Senator Ackerman did not go to Cedar Springs, but ce-me hom a day sooner. The delegation this session are not trying to make over the entire legal status of Colleton county, which Is a wise thing to do There are alrerdy too many dead laws on- the statute books. The most important Item Is to abolish the officts of County Su pervisor d County CommiMloner. devolving their duties upon the Highway Commission. This Act will doubtless become law. An appropriaticn of $300 has beef promised by the delegation to finish paying for the monument to the Confederate soldiers reeeDtly unveiled on the Court House square This amount will be given. The delegation did not appear' to favor an appropriation for a su pervisor of rural schools, but were fe-vopable to aiding the County Fair association If it could be show that such appropriation would not cripple the finances of the county any more the« at present. Senator Ackerman and Represen tatives Hill and Smith left on the afternoon train Monday for Colum bia to resume thelr.work. The weather for the past two months has been unfavorable for good attendance at meetings of lo cal and county Unions and It comes at the time when the payment of annual dues should be made. Re member that nothing can succeed without leadership. A few men in church, in fraternal orders, in neigh borhood school development, in commercial organisations, in every cooperative movement for financial material or moral uplift, have had to take the lead and keep up life and activity where indifference end inactivity would otherwise bring premature death or discreditable de feat to a worthy cause.

It la one of the traditioi* that have come down almost from times prehistoric than a cold Winter, with heavy snowa, means big crops for the season following. It is not a mere guess that severe winters as sure better farm yields; It is a the ory breed upon the results of long experience. Hard freezing is appar ently part of a chemical process 4 the makes many soil elements available as plant food. A hard wnter also destroys, in the larva or egg stage many bugs aud worms thr-t feed on food plants. And the heavy snows, as th«jy gradually melt, send dowr- nltrogrn to the roots of wheat, rye and the forage grasses and nour ishment to the roots of vines and fruit trees. Winter Is nature’s great chemical fretory, and the fac tory is working up to Us full ca pacity when the tefnperatpre is down to zero. This winter, swewping over the great corn and wheat zoi:»» prr lries, with Its zero blizzards, means the laying out before the horning of millions of grasshoppers and little green bugs that- occasionally rav age the whes-t and hay fields. Fall- seeded wheat sometimes gets w- ter killed during a severe winter, but rover if there |a a blanket of snow to protect the roots from low temperatures. A cold, snow bound winter entails hardship, and suffering upon many, but it ge ally balances matters by making way for a prosperous summer and autumn.
