There is no way to tell just how much of the crop of 1918 is still in !he hands of the farmers of this county; we can only judge by the large number of farmers who say llioy still have the crou on hand, and b> the amount of cotton held at the warehouses. This cotton will cause them to see the need of cutting the acreage this year and thus avoid having too much on the market when il is all finally turned loose. * One car Seed Irish Potatoes to arrive this week, Maine grown.

HORRY DELEGATION GETS COMMUNICATION "I consider Representative Mann'n measure, to require schools employing two or more teachers to teach tenth grade students, one of the most dangerous and reactionary measures ever introduced in the legislature," said John E. Swearingen, State superintendent of education. The bill was recently passed to a third reading in the house of representatives and will likely go to the senate for further consideration v.-'thin ?j Lev.' i ays. The measure has aroused no little interest .among men and women interested in the public schools, and its further progress in the legislature will he watched closely. Mr. Mann, in supporting the measure, held that two teachers properly educated could teach from the first to the tenth grades inclusive, and that rural school patrons would he served by having tenth grade work done in the two teacher schools. The opponents of the measure argued that the few pupils in the ninth and tenth giadcs would consume so much ol the time of the teacher that the lower grades would have to be neglected to .'i certain extent. The menvinr* Iocs not apply to a district maintain ing a ldgh school. Writes Delegation. Mr. Swearingen gave out a cm-, inimication which had been sent to the members of the Horry County <!< legation. It is from M. J. Bullock county superintendent of nhma'io: of Horry County, and is also signe-' by Mrs. M. J. Bullock, principal of 'be Horry County training school. The communication 's as follows: "To the Members of the Horry Coun tv Delegation: ''Columbia, S. C. "Gentlemen: We have just notice.' vith alarm the passage to third rea ing of Representative Mann's measure to compel all schools with two o more teachers to teach all the grade from the first to the tenth. "The passage of this bill would Ik a backward step in educational mat tors. This is one of the serious problems against which we. have been contending In Horry County. A 1. _ . 1 i y \ A* * . \ a . i cticoi snouni tirst lUKe ware 01 ur lower grades and then do all it eai. for tht! higher grades. If pupils in these lower grades are well taught the work of the upper grades can b done thoroughly. The majority of our hoys and girls in the eighth, ninth and tenth grades are doing poor work for the reason that they were given little time and attention and were allowed to skim over th work in the lower grades. This wa largely owing to the fact that teachers had too many grades to teach. I1 is not a question of the ability of th icacher to do the woik, it is a quo . ticn of time and opportunity to do ii Education in this way is like a build ing with a heavy roof and no foundation. It will not stand. "To illustrate our point, in one of (ho best schools in Horry County the principal was drawing $75 per month vist year and teaching nine pupil the primary teacher was drawing $40 and teaching 50 puplis. Some of these pupils from this school took the teachers' examination and fai'c because they did not get the proper tiv'lining in the lower grades. When the children now in these lower grades grow up they will be handicapped in the same way. The monthly tuition of the pupils in the prinoi pals room cost over $8 per pupil, that of the nunils in t.lln nvimnvu . I ! v?? ' est about 70 cents each, or onetwelfth as much. By making use of the rules .and regulations of tlm State board and using some tact, we succeeded in remedying this evil. II this bill of Mr. Mann's jjoes through such a remedy of an evil will he impossible. If this measure passes it v-ill set Hoiry County hack secern! decades. Kor any school with fewer than four teachers to attempt ten grades is a farce. We are not object ing to ten grades being taught but we are opposed to two or even three teachers undertaking to do that amount of work. Wo want the ten. grades but we want a sufficient number of teachers to do this work so as not to seriously neglect the lower grades. "The educational future of Horry County is in your hands, we know v.e can safely trust it to you. "Yours rPRTinrt fullvr , J > "(Mrs.) M. J. Bullock. i i* INCREASED ACREAGE. Garfield Grainger, of Green Sen township, was in Conway last week. He is one farmer who did not plant tobacco last year; but this year he has planned to put out eight acres. Like many other farmers of his section of the county, according to roports, he has decided to depend on tobacco as a money crop and leave cotton off. He is afraid of over supplying the market. nva DR. F. M. MOTH VISITED CONWAY As Representative of the State Board of Health From Columbia. - ? ,, < r Dr. F. M. Houth spent a clay or t.wo here last week on work for the State Board of Health, having been sent here by the board to investigate the present situation and condition regarding the Spanish Influenza. He interviewed the physicians of the county and gathered a considerable amount of data during his short stay in Conway. ? Dr. Routh stated that the epidemic was on the wane in this county and that conditions were g'reatly improving. He left here for Columbia on the early morning train last Thursday morning. ur. Kouth sewed in the United States army until he was honorably discharged a short time ago. Since then he has been doing .special work for the health department of our State. AS TO INCOME TAX.

The main ?;ue tioo bother ir.e; the average man just now i < when will he have to make out his return? As wo underfilled the situation. Congress just la: t week reached an agrocemnt on the different clauses of the income lax law and the different amendments that were made to the hill in the house and in the Senate. The conferees just manag ed to reach an agreement some time last week. Until this was done it was impossible to draw up the form of income tax return to he supplied to the people. Doubtless the formare being printed now or being: made readv for urmi ino - > >.! ... , . 1^,) I.I1M c?o Oinill il"> they can be pi inted and distributed, the collectors of the various districts w'll mail thy x*cUu*n blanks out to the people. The law last year provide<l for the return to bo filed by March 1st, but owing to delays in making up forms, you will remember that the time was extended. That the time will bo extended this year gees without raying, for there will not l>e time after the blanks are ready to get the returns in by the old date. For the time being the people may rest satisfied, and the government will not expect the impossible of anybody. R Ft: r L.A T!ON S REM()V ED.
