That Is a good school st Cottage- Tllle. Last Friday night there were three pupils to complete the course of study prescribed. There should have been many more. Where were th«* others who began the course? Why should not Oot- tageville be restored to the class of high, or even rural graded schools? Is it because the territory embrac- td with:a the d : nrict t* »oo email to support a high school? Then why not consolidate with Coftage- ville one or more email school dis tricts adjoining and make the school large enough? Transport the pu pils. If need he.

We wish to lay down as a major premise that Colleton county is primarily *n agricultural county, and her progress must, therefore, be the progress of agriculture. To Improve conditions in Colleton county one must Improve the farms. To Improve the farms, one must Im prove the. farmers, and to improve the fanners means they must re- coivo training -lo seteotiAe 'agricul ture. This ;can only he brought about In a very fe,w ways. The jjdult fanper must study, or be taught by those~ who have been taught, or the young men .of the county must be taught, and thus grow up to be scientific farmers. In naylinglon county both thes« methods are being-employed. In addition to teaihlng agrlculttvre to all nupils above the fifth grade-. Prof. Nap ley is visiting the -homes of the farmers to help-Miem solve some of their problems. This is what The Press and Stan dard would like to see done in Colleton county ,?ind what we shall see owe of these days, or we know not the ^f^ns of the times. ."Win* I*. Colleton** |to*t Former?

Thi-re are svnd have been vatU.ojs comments on the situation In the pre« of the State, and . the newspapers are un- animouslv in favor of Ooyemor Manning’s policy of law < nforcemnt We assume that thn newspapers art' only voicing the sentiment of the people, in their respective communi ties. When w f e say that \v«» are with Governor Manning in his policy of law enforcement in CharT-'Ston. we feel that we are only voicing the sentiment of our readers, and the people generally In this section. This is time, we believe, every where in South Carolina. The Newberry Observer in its cur rent issue has a timelv editorial on this subject. A. In brief the Observer save that the 'element engaged !n sgllitrg Mquor in Charleston are mostly foreigners^ who came *to Charleston and found this custom of paying a fine-license having the sanc tion of law. and doubly so as they could and did secure a C. S. license. The Observer Justly Concludes that the real law 'breakers are not the foreigners hut the mavors and offi cials who have tDictated this law violation. Ve would like to add to this com- meift that the newsnapefs of the eitv ere not without blame, and we sav this not in a spirit of censure., hut simniy as a statement of fact.

The McCormick Mower is known for its simplicity and durability wherever it has been used. Simplicity is the keynote of> its construction. There are manv reasons why * y • fr * * ' an experienced farmer will select a moMintf machine that is simple in construction. Tho more simple the mower is the easier it will work. The fewer fadey trappings it has the. less likely it is,to get out of order. The' McCormick has fewer parts than any other machine. n CLEAN CUTTING—The McCormick is noted for its clean cutting qualities. There is a clean cutting surface the entire length of the ledget plate. FULL SWATH—A feature of the Mc Cormick mower that will appeal to eVery farmer is the fact that there is ample voom between the pole and the inside shoe—which makes it unnecessary for the off horse to walk on the grain which is being cut. * These are important points to consider when you wishbuy.a machine to harvest your grain crop. A very little loss per acre will more than pay foi^the purchase of a McCormick mower and rak^ in two pay ments $74.00. Cash, $72.00. See or write-*- • - ? A. WOMAN & SOlt <*r
