THURSDAY, SEPT. 11, 1919 j Most voters have it fixed up in their minds that they Vote for the best men for office; but we are not sure that they always feel that they do. o We want what we want and take what we can get in this old word. It is human nature to want that which we cannot have. o The next term of the Criminal court in this county will convene on September 22nd. The indications are that it will be crowded with business. o Labor conditions arc worse than ever in this county this year. They are even worse than whiie the war was on. Some farmers have changed hands during the last few months at high prices. o The people of the war ridden | countries of Europe are saving and planning to get over the hardships; we can do the same thing in this country and thereby greatly help in reducing the cost of liping. <> Lessons learned one year should result in better management another year. We hope the growers of tobacco in some sections of the county will plant less acreage next year and thus be able to give the crop better attention and produce a higher grade of the weed. (>_ The cotton crop of this State has been greatly cut by adverse weather conditions. Crops which looked promising a month ago are now sad looking reminders of what might have been. Some of the tobacco growers of this county are well aware of one mistake they made this year, which was in planting more acreage to the wce( than they could possibly manage. !J\ this means much of the weed couh not be gathered, and burned up in th< fields, ONE GREAT CAUSE. High wages prevailing all ovci this country is one of the things re sponsible for the high cost of living The main source of this is to be foun in the railroad brotherhoods and th< high prices paid by the govern men itself for the labor that it needed ii carrying out the war program. Wage constitute one element of groat mag nit'jdg in the cost nmliwinc thing and getting them to the consume] When wages are increased the pro ducer only adds the extra cost to th articles when he sells them to the co sumor.

There seems to be much misunder-j standing among the trustees andi school people of the county as to the workings of the compulsory attendance law. A copy of this law will be found on the last page of all the new school registers. It is very simple and easily understood. I also have on hand a limited number of copies of tiie school laws of the state, revised up to date, not enough to warrant sending out to all the trustees of the county, but we will be glad to send them as long as they last to all , v, ho are sufficiently interested to ask for one. Mr. M. C. Holmes is truant officer for all the districts lying east of tlie Waccamaw and east of the Chadbourne and Conway Railroad,! ar.d the following schools west of the railroad: Homewood, No. (>8; Poplar,;' No. 70; Watts or Baxter, No. 85; Bay- ; hero, No. 4; Hickory Hill, No. 38; Oak Grove, No. 34; Princeville, No. 30; Powell, No. 29; Finklea, No. 33; and Howard or Fowler. No. 35. Mr. Holmes has been working since the fiist of July and is doing his best to j finish the census soon. We have had much trouble in getting a man to keep the job in, the western part of te? county. Mr. W. L. Alford no.v j hi;; charge of the work and will complete it soon as possible. His address! is Galivants Ferry and Mr. Holmes'' is Conway. If any schools are planning* to begin soon they should notify these officers and they will take the ; census as soon as they can get there.j The County Hoaid and the State Hoard of Education recommend that j the compulsory attendance begin! with the first day of school, but the Trustees must fix the date for the beginning of the compulsory attendance in their district. It is necessary for them to give sufficient notice of this date to every patron in the distinct in some way. For the con- ' wnience of the trustees I have had printed blank notices which I will he g'ad to furnish to all trustees who come cr write for them. In districts where there is much cotton to be picked by the children I think it is best for the seven months' schools to begin about the fifteenth of October, however there are many schools where they can have a hotter attendance by beginning earlier than this. 1 Wherever there is much cotton in the fields which cannot be gathered without the help of the children and the people feel that the school must com-! monce for other good reasons, I think ! it best not to begin the compuisorv ; attendance until sufficient time has! been given for the cotton to be gath- j c red. Tl.c compulsory attendance must' l egin on a certain date (decided on by the trustees) and must run 'for four [consecutive months or eighty school | days. In schools that do not run; j more than four months the compulJ sory attendance must begin with the | first day bf school and must be in ft rcc every day. In such cases as this! trustees should be very careful to run! the school when chiludren are least needed at home. Before the compulsory attendance begins the teacher must bo furnished | \v:th a complete list of all the children between the ages of eight and fourteen. The teacher must report j every single day's absence of any I child whos name is on this list to the j jpiopcr attendance officer at once. I TP < fnn/.knr 1/n A\1*C! f\ f Vl 01* n\VP.

If any problems arise either 1 j the attendance officer or the County j Superintondant will he glad to confer ' | with you about them. Teachers seem to be fully-as scarce a they were last year. J have done ' all that I could to help the trustees ' to supply the schools with teachers hut there are many schools still unMipplicd. The county board can renew the certificates of all teachers who 1 attended an accredited summer seho. 1 provided they are first or second * grade. In case of failure to alten:i a 1 summer school for good reasons the r' county board can get such certificates t i renewed. n The next teacher's examination s v. ill he Saturday, October the fourth. School districts that are short of * funds still have tirvm to vote on extra ' levies if they act at once. If the Equalizing Law is complied with, an 0 eight mill tax will give the school n all the money it needs to run seven r months. Yours truly, ?M. J. IIULLOCK, Co.

Every planter jce. obtain this seed from his own corn fields through the selection of the ears this fall before the corn is harvested and nut in the crib, says Prof. A I*" ( rmrurli Unl nmnlncist. Tiu rc are a great many factors tc keep in mind when the ears arc selected for next crop's seed. One oJ 'he important factors is that of solifting those types of oars which arc weevil resistant. Take only such ears for seed as have a shuck covering that is long and tight-fittinc enough to have kept most of the in ' sects away from the grain. Such ears will be found to be tightly closec :, at 1 he t ips. The best seed selection can be don< j<nlv in the field in the fall. In mak sng the selection of the cars f.ir wee jvil resistance keep the following VAY, S. C., SEPT. 11, 1919. ; i - i ' n ' i s OR SALE I ' . > > . t.

Select only those ears which have tight-fitting closed tip shucks. 3. The prolific rarities are usually hardier and have greater weevil rosi uu.ee. 1 Weevil resistance depends on ih** t'ghtness of shucks and not on hardiness of grain. The host seed selection is possible or.lv from stalks in the field, where the height on stalk, number f ears to the stalk, and hanging characteristics. as well as the shuck covering, can be seen. 6.
