Welcome, gnperrteor Genter.
The Press and Standard desires to
extend to Rural School Supervisor
Gunter a cordial welcome on his first
official visit to Colleton county since
A '
he was made supervisor of the rural
schools of the State. We trust his
visit will be pleasant and that he
will take away with him a pleasant
memory of his stay with us. His is
a great work, and he is measuring
up to the requirements of bis office
in a manner to be commended. Com
ing in touch with the .rural schools
of the State he is in a position to
Judge whst they need to maka them
more efficient. Himself a trained
teacher and superintendent, his ob
servations will be made with a train
ed mind, and bis recommendations
should, therefore, have great weight.
That he will be able on his visit to
make suggestions for Improving
Colleton's system of rural schools,
is ,to be hoped. ’ W> feel sure that
he will have left txffiind many hints
which wilt germinate and bear fruit
Colleton needs the Interest and
*
assistance of men sOrh as >!f. Gun
ter in working out her problems, and
we feel sure that this county shall
reeetve his best thought, and <4hat
his desire is to help the schools to
become more efficient, and greater
factors jn the county development

Kcbolarship Matter.
Anent the discussion now gping
on in reference to the scholarship
matter as before the legislature am
which is being discussed at some
length, jhe following comments are
most pertinent, and seem unaoswer
able. The University Weekly News
•rt; • v
. ‘‘Just nt present there seems to
be r.hroad in South Carolina a con
certed movement to attack the giv-
‘ng of free scholarships at state in
stitutions. The mooted nocstion pf
~~ free tuition at State institutions has
also coinv* in for considerable cri|!-
cTsm. The real point at issue has
be«n oh«cured by much speaking and
w'ritin* on many topics, which while
'n»eresttng and important In them
selves. are not germane to the issue,
•‘Two single facts undented and
undeniable, seem altogether to have
been lost sight of. and these fact*
are the most important in the whole
discussion: 1st. South Carolina ts
the next most illiterate-state In the
Union, and every possible plan look
ing to a wider and more thorough
“duration of the youth of the State,
should receive the unstinted and im
mediate sunoort of every man, wo-
.an and child.
•‘2nd. Under the present system
of collegiate institutions, only one
out of eight high school students
over get to college at all, Seven-
eights of the high school students
n»ver reach college. It seems rea
sonable that instead of disputing as
to how the one-eighth should be por
tioned out among tjie different col
leges. the sole and single aim of til
the educational forces of the State
should unite in the effort to reach
s «* other seven-eights. It may be
noted in passing that every argument
•*gainst free tnltion in the colleges
can be used—and hag been used—
with equal force to oppose free tnl
tion in the primary and second a rv
schools. • •»
“It will he remembered that In
•sst week's issue of the University
Weekly News tt was noted that
*nnth Carolina is one of the.ontv
f lve states which charge tuitionf the
-♦her four being Vermont. North
Carolina. Ohio and South Dakota.”
In this connection. The Lancaster

torial. is kind enough to say:

and denominational colleges j n he-

READ THE FOLLOWING AFFIDAVIT:
Personally appeared before me C. jG. Padgett^ who, upon being duly sworn,
k • „ o' ’
states that he has examined the daily record book of The H. W. Cohen Store, w r hich
shows their daily cash sales for the year 1915 and the month of January, 1916, and
that the cash sales for the month of January 1916 shows an increase of 102 per cent
over the cash sales for the month of January, 1915. ; -
Furthermore, the record book shows that all business transacted during the
month of January, 1916, was strictly spot cash.
' (Signed:) C. G. PADGETT,
Sworn to before me this ^
1st day of Feb., 1916.
' ' R. L. FRASER,
Notary Public. ' ^
The foregoing Affidavit Con-
. ■ • ■- ■ ’ ' • . * , f ■ ' 1
clusively Proves the Correct-
ness of Our Assertion.
0 . ’
“That doing business on a strictly ca sh basis—saves us time and expense of
keeping a record of charge sales—and trying to collect same after they are charged-
Better still, it entirely eleminates losses from bad accounts—it therefore gives us
more ready cash to do business with—which places us in position to buy our stock a
little cheaper, besides getting cash discounts—we are, therefore, in position to sell
goods much cheaper than the store that does business on credit.”
# •» „ ' ' • . v .»
THIS PHENOMENAL INCREASE I N OUR CASH SALES FOR THE MONTH
OF JANUARY, 1918, OVER JANUARY, 1915, CLEARLY SHOWS US THAT OUR
FRIENDS AND PATRONS FULLY REAUZE THAT IT IS TO THEIR ADV\NT
AGE TO DO BUSINESS WITH A STORE T HAT DOES A STRICTLY SPOT CASH
Business. - • - • .
