C A united nation stands behind tlv ^ President. \ o t The way the Germans are acting |) shows they are desperate. 1 o t The third liberty loan will go x through, but lets see that South Caro- ( lina has a high place in the list. ? o t One just as well know at once that i there nothing in the world which is \ perfect. 'Everything has its disad- 1 vantages. I o i A man, never appreciates a good < title to land until he goes to sell or t wants t,o borrow money on it, and then he realizes it. ; o 1 The entire people are being united 1 as one solid whole by means of the 1 community councils of defense. Help ( H is along in every way you can. It is one way in which you may Help in the struggle. o Watch your neighbor as he plants and harvests his wheat crop this year. What you learn will be of great benefit when you go to plant and harvest yours v Id. h we know you will decide to do by another season. o No man can do more than the American boys are doing who have gone to Prance, knowing well that the> stand a good chance never to return What would a few privations to u> "here mean to us as pomnnwrl w;tV that! ? ?o Tho general public should keep on the lookout for the German agent. "No community is too small for him and you cannot toll what interest oi the enemy might bring him there. Look out for pro-Germanism and (lis loyalty, and if you see it or hoar ol i', report to some one in authority. o The farmers who planted wheat for this season's crop will be a lonir way> ahead of the others. But lot the others come in r.ext Kail and Winter. We will show you in Horry County one of the most prosperous communities in the State of South Carolina, in spite of the war and the hardships it would bring. o The use of modern machinery looks easy. One would think that the inventor happened to work it out some morning before breakfast. This is a mistake. All great inventions took much time and close application. Often there were repeated failures. It takes perseverance of the right kind to do anything of this kind. General Foch who is Supreme command of the allied armies in Fiance is no ordinary man. He has powers beyond the average soldier although he is about seventy years old. He * acts like he was a man of forty. "When you see anything in print about General Foch be sure to read it and give it to your boy to read. His life and char actor is worth consideration by any ycurg man of any action. k * $ - --- - - - -X? ? m Three Geners to the Efficac^ ? DR.

In the beginning of i he Spring offensive of the Teutonic ( irmies, the story was that the Crown i Vince of Gemany had been captured; atcr a man came to Conway and said hat the Kaiser himself had been )laced into captivity.

That he flames spelled the word "Berlin" iccording to one who saw it, and acording to a crowd of colored people vorking in a field near Conway, the otters formed, a part if not all, of he word "Warning." There and a lundred other things get into e'reuation when there is not a word of ruth to any of them. They only furlish something to distract the minds >f those who have superstition. Often mough the tales that are told take lie shape of German propaganda md it is almost sure that some things told from time to time come original y from that kind of a source, a V they are intended to work harm i' the war work of the people of thb i country and cause them to he slack in .heir attention to the demands of the f itoation.

To oppose the war savings movement is to oppose victory on the part of the United States and its Allies. To be indifferent toward this great movement is to be in effect Indifferent toward the murder of women, children, and other civil- ! lans.

The Teacher-Training School is being increased by the addition of new pupils each week and the classes are doing* good work. The tcacher-p-ipils seeni to realize the importance of making more thorough preparation for their work and to be undertaking this course of study at the earliest opportunity. Much benefit is lost by delay in entering the class and a great deal of the work of the class will have to be made up by those who lose these first few weeks. 1 wish <o urge all of our teachers who can possibly do so to take this training and t) give us a group of better-trained teachers from which to supply our schools for the next school term. A recent letter from Supt. of Education, T. E. Swcaringcn, comments upon the great shortage of teachers for the coming school year and the pressing need of thorough preparation in order to bring our schools up to the ncccssarv standard. Ho > says "Everything possible should be; done to encourage the teachers to attend summer schools and training schools; the plan to pay them the sum of $5.00 to help with expenses ol such attendance is a step in the right direction and has much to commend it." Tim following letter from David R Coker is of vital interest to the people of Horry County and it will be well for all of our people and especially our trustees to read it and to take such action as they feel they can afford. We cannot afford to have our trained teachers go into other counties to teach and we may be sure that the high cost of living will force many who otherwise would teach in Horry County to seek work in coun lies mai win pay at least a living wage. We have heard of steps being taken by trustees in many counties' to increase the* salaries of their teachers in order to hold them; the time has come frr us to follow their ex- j am pie. David It. Coker, chairman of the South Carolina Council of Defense, has issued the following statement: "The stability of democracy and consequently the safety of this nation ami of the world depends upon an enlightened and patriotic citizenship. "Such a citizenship can not he had and maintained without a public school system of high efficiency. "The efficiency of the school sys-! tern necessarily depends upon the character, education and experience of the teacher. Satisfactory teacher can not be engaged and kept unlesadequate salaries are paid. "The school teachers of South Carolina are now being paid from 50 to 100 per cent, less than men and women of similar qualifications in com mecia) pursuits. "There is a tremendous demand for stenographers and clerks for government service at salaries from $80 'o $150 per month. ^ "Many banks and mercantile concerns arc lo. king* for efficient women at good salaries to replace men who have been called into service. "Many of the most efficient school teachers in the State intend to seek commercial employment at the end of the present school year. ot J* * ?? > "ii mc authorities controlling the schools of South Carolina do not immediately recognize the danger and apply the necessary remedy, our school system will be badly crippled at a time when efficiency is more vital than ever before. "There is but one remedy, adequate salary. v We can not expect expert, ronsocrated service for the wage of f tAMVCOWWfcj,* 0 an average-daylatHfjer. ! "Our teacher*" <ty and should occupy positions of influence and 'leadcrship in their respective communities, and it is unfair takeep them in their present humiliating financial condition. "I personally .know efficient teachers of high patriotism who are receiving salaries barely able to meet thfclr absolutely necessary expenses and who deeply feel -their inability to respond to requests foi* contributions to worthy patriotic causes. [ "If adequate funds are not available from" taxation,- school trustees should raise by1'private subscription from the school patrons sufficient' additional funds to pay an adequate ' salary to secure and keep the services of competent and experienced teach-crs. "The structure ,of our government depends more largely upon our educational system than upon any other one agency. Let us keep this fact clearly before us and do our full duty to our schools no matter how urgent arc other calls for patriotic service." Yours truly, ?M. J. Bullock, Co. Supt. of Education.
