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. Thus it goes on in one neve
endintr rivrln

OPEN LETTER FROM
SUPT. BULLOCK
. 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.

the cause of the absence;
she should report the same to the
officer. 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. Supt. of Education.

.CORN WEEVILS CONTROL
THE SEED SELECTION
:
Clomson College.?The corn seed
| for the 1020 crop should he the very
| best seed obtainable. 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

points in mind.
1. Select those ears which are
hanging downward when mature, so |
that rains are shed and not held.
2. 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. Ivtep the selected ears in a
tight box or barrel until ready to ;
plant. If attacked by weovUs during '
v/itdcr. fumigate with carbon bisulphide.
