The people of Horry County are
growing and expanding. As their

The good rule for the farmers to 1
.follow is to raise a plenty of what
they need for their own use on the
farm and in addition to that as much
as they can of cotton or tobacco, or
some other money crop. It is foolish
for any of them to neglect to
raise a full supply of food crops.
' Let us ask Horry County tobacco I
growers to try to specialize on raising
a high grade of the weed. This
idea makes it interesting and the
farmers of this county may depend
upon it that with study and great
care they can make this section the
producer of one of the best and high
est grades of leaf tobacco raised in !

There is no place coming out faster

opportunities here. They have existed
here from the beginning; but
there seemed to be nobody to take
advantage of them, or those who
lived here did not realize that they

am waking up to what can be
done in this county and they are
taking advantage of all chances.

The Victory Liberty Loan is now
to be made by the people of this
country. The people loaned their
means during the war. The war Is
over but we have not yet paid in
full for the victory wo won. This
fifth loan must be made by the people
and we predict that it will go
over the top with plenty to spare;
ano that Horry County will take her
full share of the loan.

STATE TEACHERS
GET BETTER PAY
!
The public school teacher situation
in South Carolina is better than ever i
before. Teachers arc being paid j
more money, others are being releas- j
e.? from war service, and while there J
is still to be a scarcity of teachers, i
the situation is much improved, and
new laws enacted by the 1919 General
Assembly, will result in even bet-,
tee conditions with regard to public
instruction.
High school teachers in the state I
are being paid more money than last
year. Practically all of the high
school assistants of the state are women,
and the new high school act
provides them better pay. Superintendent
Swearingen, of the state education
department, announces that
there are now nearly 8,000 pupils enrolled
in high schools. The women
who teach these young people have
heretofore received a maximum pay
of $55 a month.
Under the new law they may receive
as much as $75 per month. In
every instance the contract between
the local board of trustees and the
teacher was accepted as the basis of
state high school aid. The salary
agreed upon by the trustees and the
teacher constitutes the basis for the
payment of this aid. Among the 119
schools these salaries ranged from
$40 per month to $75 per month. Not
a few boards of district trustees report
salaries ranging from $75 to
$100. In every such case the overplus
is paid from district funds
rather than from state funds.
The salary of the lowest paid high
school assistant is the basis for all
state aid. The new high school law,
therefore, contemplates a minimum
high school salary of $95 per month.
| In case the same high school assistant
returns for the session 1919:
1920 he may be paid $80 if the board
'of district trustees considers such a
salary appropriate and desirable. If
this same assistant returns for the
j session 1920-1921, the maximum sal-i
\
\ 1 -j
ry may be $85 per month on the j |
ame condition. This policy of recog- |
izing tenture and service in the
ame class i*oom will tend to strenghen
and stabilize all high school
rork.
The revised and liberalized high
chool aid of 1919 carries an appro- I
nation of $100,000. The state
oard of education reserved $5,943 to
ay the office and traveling expenes
of the high school inspector and
r. maintain the normal classes in ap roved
high school. The University
: South Carolina lends to the state
card of education its professor of *
ccondary education to serve as high (
chool inspector. Prof. J. A. Stod- '
ard was elected to this position '
ipon the resignation of Prof. W. H. 1
land last fall. Ten normal classes 1
ii approved high schools are author- '
icd under the present iaw. For the 1
ast three years successful normal 1
lasses have been conducted in the
igh schools at Walhalla, Orange- J
urg and Conway. Each instructor {
eceivcs an annual salary of $1,200. !
^hc state board is planning to es- 1
ablish other normal classes in the 1
all. If this program is carried out, '
lie reserved balance will be fully <jxausted
before Christmas. The state
duration department sent out $94,- (
57 of this money for better high
chools recently.
Outside Enrollment.
Under the new high school act, any
igth, ninth, tentli, or eleventh grade I
tupil may enroll free in any state ;
if led high school, unless the district
ri which such pupil lives maintains ]
.1 ready a recognized high school,
'his provision has induced many ;
right boys and girls to utilize the <
dvantages of stronger high schools <
o neighbomig districts. The relorted
liigh school enrollment for the
ear is 7,927. Of this number 1,411
ome from adjoining or outlying disricts.
These pupils have inade- |
|uate school facilities in their home
listric.ts and would be defiled high
chool advantages but for this pro- ;
ision of the high school act. Labor 1
onditions interferred with the en- <
ollment and attendance of boys this j
rear. The figures for a normal year ;
?/ould show not only a large high j
chool enrollment, but a large pro- j
>ortion of pupils from outlying terri- ;
ory. The revised high school act of i
919 relieves many communities of ]
he pressure of this outside enroll- i
rent by providing a payment of $.'1 (
)er month for such pupils. Schools <
