The Summer Session of the Training

six weeks. A strong faculty has
been secured.
Mrs. M. J. Hullock, principal of
the training school will give a course
of lessons in class room management.
The school is fortunate in
securing the services of Mr. J. V.
McElveen, State Supervisor of Rura'
Schools, who will be here during
the entire session and who will
teach two classes in reading, one in
G(-ography, and one in Algebra.

The Local Chapter of the Red
Cross has secured the services of a
Red Cross nurse who will give a
series of lessons in first aid nursing.
The regular price of these lessons is
but, the Chapter offers them
free of cost to the teachers in attendance
at the Summer School.
Every teacher should take advantage
of this opportunity.
On account of shortage of teachers
during the war the County Board
of Education was permitted by the
State Board of Education to renew
old certificates and grant new certificates
in a manner which was not
strictly in accordance with the law.
Since these extraordinary conditions
no longer exist it will be impossible
to co'.^Rfue doing this. The law 's
plain about the renewal of certificates.
The County Board can renew
a certificate if the holder has attended
an accredited Summer School
at least three-fourths of its session,
and passed the final examination
and has--obtained a certificate from
the Superintendent or Principal of
the school showing that he has or
she has taken at least three subjects.
The County Board has decided
to renew no certificates except
' jn a legal way. The County Board
cannot renew them any other way
, except by permission of the State
Board of Education. There must be

to comply with the law in order to
have it renewed it will be necessary

WAR ON ANARCHISTS
BY GOVERNMENT
Vigorous Efforts to Run Down
Enemies of Order Are
Instituted
Washington.?That efforts of anarchists
to create a reign of terror
through destruction of life and propel
ty which had its climax in attempts
on lives of prominent men in eight
cities Monday night, not only failed
in its purpose, but has resulted in action
by organized government that is
expected to wipe out the anarchists
themselves, was evident here. Following
public announcements by Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer
that the purposes of the Department
of .Justice arc the same now as they
were before, which was in turn followed
by a statement telling of the
ci ration of a new bureau by the department
with William J. Flynn as
its head and which will have as its
paramount duty the crushing of the
anti-government movement in this
country, agents of the Federal gov
eminent throughout the country and
detective forces in this and scores of
other cities renewed with vigor their
efforts to run down those responsible
for Monday night's bomb explosions.
<
It was stated that despite intimations
yesterday that the indentity of
the man killed here by his own bomb
when he attempted to assasinate Attorney-General
Palmer had been established,
no tangible clues that
might lead to apprehension of the
plotters had been found.
negrTworkerT

Washington.?Negro agricultural
and industrial workers, sei*ving at
present in labor battalions in Southern
camps, and much needed just
now in their home communities, will
be released from the army as rapidly
as they can be replaced with hired
civilians, according to assurances
given Senator Dial by the war department.

month will be allowed the second
year, and an additional $5.00 raise the
third year, if the teacher returns lo
the same school
The teachers are going to get
better pay and more will be required
of them. The trustees shouid
ascertain the grade of certificate the
teacher they employ holds, whether
first second or third, and what \ is
more important the length of time
for which it was granted, and the
number of times and why it has been
renewed. A college graduate is entitled
to a first grade certificate ununder
the law, whether they have
had normal training or not. It is
just as important for college graduates
to have normal training as it is
for other teachers. The County
Beard has the greatest sympathy for
deserving boys and girls who have
an ambition to teach and who are
unprepared to do so on account of
poor schools which they have attended.
With the right encouragement
many of these will make good
teachers. In order to help them the
County Board will continue to grant
them short term certificates, provided,
they attend the Summer
School or some other training school
and do good work, and take the
final examinations in the schools
attended. These short term certificates
will enable the holders to teach.
If Trustees and Teachers would con
suit the County Superintendent more
it would often be possible to place
teachers to the greatest advantage
to themselves and the schools they
teach

BURROUGHS SCHOOL
COMES TO CLOSE
The commencement exercises of
Burroughs High School began on
Friday evening, June 6th at 8:45
o'clock, beginning with a recital in
the school auditorium by the pupils
of the class iu music.
The baccalaureate sermon was do-1
livered at the Conway Baptist church
last Sunday at 11 o'clock. Soi*vices
in other churches were curtailed so
that the people might attend at the
Baptist church.
The graduating exercises took
place in the auditorium last Monday
right beginning at 8:45 o'clock. The
literary address was made by Mr.
Marion A. Wright of Columbia.
The exercises were well attended
and the school has ended a successful
session notwithstanding the

TO REPEAL LAW.

law on the last Sunday in October
was voted today by the House
interstate commerce committee.

Coblenz.?Some fantastic fiction is
published in German newspapers by
writers from Frankfort and Leipsic,
who have visited Coblenz and returned
home to write whatever they
rr.ay please about the American
aimy. Many of the stories they toil
are new to the officers of the Third
Army who count them as German
pi opaganda.
One writer of a long article in the
Leipsic paper dealing with life in
Coblenz relates alleged instances of
ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American army
courts. In one case he says that the
wife of a government official, "annoyed
on the street by a drunken
soldier, exclaimed in her anger: 4If
only all the Americans would go to
the devil!' " The military court, he
says, punished her for "this religious
wish" by sentencing her to appear
every morning for .'JO days at the
headquarters of the commanding
officer and repeating to those present
the phrase: "I am glad that you
a:o still here, gentlemen, and it is my
wish that you continue to stay here
for a long while."
This is all news to the American
officers. If any woman appears at
headquarters every morning, the
sentries on duty have failed to notice
it. It is part of their job to
prevent trespassing by Germans at
the main entrance of the Third
Army headquarters.
Another fictitious tale narrated by
the Leipsic writer to arouse German
dislike for Americans deals with a
case in which a woman, splashed by
mud from an automobile, ejaculated,
"Those dirty American automobiles."
For this the I^eipsic Munchausen
avers, a military court sentenced her
to climb the fortress of Ehrenbrietstein.
daily at 5 a. m. for 30 days, car
rying a pail, scrubbing brush and
scouring rag and to clean six American
automobiles. Upon completion
of this task, he asserted, she was
required to walk back home similarly
equipped.
Another fantastic tale told by the
Leipsic journalist is of a sentence
which he declares was imposed upon
a hotel owner, whose nerves could
ro longer stand the "wild music" p!-r*
duced by the American hands and
who commented upon it unfavorably.
In punishment, the fiction writer
claimed, the hotel man wa*s sentenced
to march daily for 30 days alongside
the band and after its parade to
tell its leader. "Sir. votir mn^ic
pleases me to perfection."
American intelligence officers arc
endeavoring* to ascertain through
what channels the Leipsic correspondent
obtained the alleged information
while in Coblenz, particularly
stories about the fine.^ and sentences
imposed upon women. Court
records do not reveal any such cases.

CHILD THROWN DOWN
BY PASSING CAR
A small child was standing in the
street near the corner of Main
Street and 3rd Avenue last Tuesday
evening when an automobile driven
by young Atkinson passed by. The
hub of the front wheel struck the
child and it was thrown down before
its lather and mother could got it
out of the way. The child was considerably
frightened but was not
considered as being hurt very mucn.
dirigMtofly"
ACROSS ATLANTIC
Washington. ? Official confirmation
that the navy department contemplated
a trans-Atlantic flight
with the dirigible C-5 without stop
from St. Johns, N. F\, to the Irish
coast, is contained in Lieut. Comndr.
E W. Coil's report of the C-o's voyage
from Mauntauk Point, Long Island,
to St. Johns. The report made
public for the first time shows that
the C-5 made a remarkbale flight
lasting 25 hours and 50 minutes during
which the airship covered more
than 1,022 sea miles without difficulty,
athough adverse weather conditions
were encountered practically
thioughout. ?
The report indicates that the C-5
would have been a serious contender
for the honors oantiired hv ihn MC.-4 I
had she not been torn from her
moorings at St. Johns and blown out
to sea.
"During- the flight cold was the
greatest hardship encountered and
even that was not really serious,"
Comnji.ander Coil reported.
"H&d "the crew not been outfitted
with flying suits lined with fur the
cold would have proved severe. As it
was the greatest trial was the fact
that smoking is not permitted in a
dirigible."
"BIG TIME"~AWAITS
FARMERS OF STATE
Clemson College.?The agricultur- j
al authorities of Clemson College are
preparing a "big time" for South
Carolina farmers in July, when farm
ers' week will be held July 21 to 26
inclusive as a climax to the agricultural
summer school which will run
from June 30 to August 1.
There will be three main sections
of the nrno-i-iim /?f fnvmovu' \w?nLr
One will bo lectures and discussions, j
arranged by hours from 8 a. m. to 1
p. m.; another will be demonstrations
from 2 to 4 p. m.; a third will
be addresses in the evening's by agricultural
authorities of note.
All phases of agriculture will ente.
into the lecture work and time
will be given in each subject for discus-sions
by farmers. Demonstrations
of tractors, the use of dynamite,
stump pullings, etc., have already
been arranged. A stock judging
contest will also be held in which
farmers will compete for prizes in
the judging of beef and dairy cattle,
hegs and chickens. ,
Among those already secured for
evening addresses aie Commissioner
B. Harris, Editor Clarence Foe of
(The Progressive Farmers, Dr. W. D.
Hunter, boll weevil specialist; Dr. E.
F Phillips, bee specialist, and Dr.
D. W. Daniel.
Gen. John J. Pershing arrived at
Bordeaux by automobile from Bassen
to formulate his plans regarding
the repatriation of American troops.
NO MORE GOVERNMENT
LOANS, STATES GLASS
Washington.?The report that
another government loan would be
necessary, expressed recently by
some congressmen was set at rest
by Secretary Glass. In a statement
Gla.-s declared there has been no
change in the government's financial
program and that another "liberty
loan" would not be floated. The deficit,
anticipated in the congressional
discussion, will be met by an over

treaty and gives satisfactory guarantees
that she will establish a
stable government and loyally carry
out the provisions of the treaty,
doubtless will be permitted to be- I
come a member of the league of nations.
The council of four at present has
this momentous subject under consid
oration and from unofficial reports
thus far received there seemingly is
ii(/ strong objection to Germany becoming
associated with the other ^
nations in the league, if by contritoness
she proves her worthiness to
membership.
By permitting membership to Germany
the feeling prevails in peace
conference circles that there will be
no likelihood of a coalition between
that country and Russia, which in
the future might . be the source of
trouble and that with Germany inside
the league she could be kept
more tractable than outside.
On the Last Draught.
The council of four also is busiy
engaged in going over the reports of
the commissions which have been
examining into the counter proposals
Germany offered to the peace
treaty. While all the commissions
have not yet reported to the council,
it is felt in Paris that late in the
present week the entire situation
will have been so whipped into shape
that it will be possible to hand the
Germans at Versailles the final word
of the Allied and associated powers
constitutional and irreducible minimum
of concessions.
It is said that five days after the
presentation of the reply of the Allies
the Germans must give notice as
to whether they propose to sign the
! treaty.
Clemenceau Threatens.
^Considerable fighting continues
between the factions in Russia, apparently
with varying results. Hostilities
also are in progress between
the Hungarians arid Czheco-Slov:iks.!
but these are likely soon to end under
a threat by Premier Clemenceau
to use Allied troops against the Hun
garians if they do not cease their
activities.

to bring to the bar of justice

General Burleson in ordering the

resulted in a puzzling situation arising
in Congress, where plans already
were under way for having
the properties returned to their former
owners. Senator Kellogg, of
Minnesota, author of a bill for return
of the wire lines with existing
rates effective for sixty days, declared
he could not express an opinion
as to whether repeal legislation,
would now be necessary until he had
studied the matter carefully. Chairman
Cummins, of the Senate interstate
commerce committee, called a
meeting of his committee to consider
the question.
Mr. Burleson's order, while it
places operation of the wire systems,
under private control, does nqfc affect .
questions of rates and financial relations
between the government and
the companies, which the postmaster
general announced would be left io
Congress. It also provides that each
company keep its accounts during
the remainder of the period of government
control so that proper settle
ments may be made when such control
ends. Regulations prohibiting
discrimination against employes because
of union affiliations also are
maintained. The wire operating
board is abolished, but the wire control
board will continue to function.
Contracts for compensation and
awards by State commissions remain
in effect under the order as well as
the increased toll rates, service connection
charges and special exchange
rates, recently authorized.
