Mr. Vaught, with two companions, started out to hunt coons, staying alontf the edge of the swamp and sending1 the do^ in. The do#; treed and Mr. Vaught, with one of the other hoys, went in to get the coon while the other member of the party remained on the hill to answer their calls and thus rid them in getting out after the tree was cut and the coon taken. The tree was cut down and the oon ran off in the jungle, the doj? after him. Water was about knee- < deep where the coon took refuse, and thus the coon Anally escaped. The weather became bad and rain began to fall. The man left on the hill could not remain without shelter so he left. i MOTHER!

Ei?w N**i25S?FaB22S^2LB* Washington comment ? *4 1 The incalculable good which must result to the cause ot education through the holding of Education Week, December 3 to 9, inclusive, can not be summed up in a page,.let alone a paragraph. But if it accomplishes nothing more than the focussing of public attention upon the inadequate teaching staffs of our public schools, it will have more than served its purpose. The stiffs are inadequate for one, and only one reason; the inability of those in authority to see with sufficient breadth of vision that teaching is highly skilled, specialized work, requiring the highest type of manhood and womanhood, and deserving an adequate wage. Because teachers' salaries are universally so low, those who stick to that noble profession do so from love of it, from love of its 1 ? f J-.i- 1 Al Kit-urn, muiii <t ftciuse ui uuiy, aim me religion of service. Because teachers' salaries are universally so low, the youth of our land is not attracted to the normal school and the teacher's college; young men desire to enter occupations which assure them of comfort, and a reasonable luxury; young women, more and more taking their, places in the economic structure of ?ur country are preparing themselves ror other vocations where the rewards are commensurate with the preparation the effort, the education, and the ability required. The State depends now upon its citizens of legal age and over. In ten years it will be depending unor the children of today. If these chil dren are not well taught .properlv taught, highly taught, the future citi zens of America will be ignonant, unable to think, to plan, to carry on this our N<*'tion. in its forward course. If the child of today is the voter, and perhaps, the Legislator and the President of tomorrow, then the teacher of today is the maker of the nation of tomorrow. The best teachers, paid well enough to enable them to give their best to our children, should be none too good for America; if Education Week can awaken the electorate to the need of the best ,the need of paying for the best, it will not be held in vain.?Contributed. SELLCREAM THIS WINTER . . n > M /\A Clemson College.?Kutter or yz srore sold on the Chicago market November 25th, for r>3 cents per nound. The creameries in South Carolina are paying for cream on apnroximately this basis, yet not many of them are getting enough cream to pay overhead expenses. I'* you have 3 to 10 cows why not ^e'l cream to one of these plants? r?.sks J. P. McMaster, Chief of the Dairy Division, who says that you can do so without expending much money to start. Ten average cows producing two gallons of milk each per dav will return you a cream check of $100 to $120 per month at present prices. Rutter is not likely to go much lower in price before grass comes next spring. Then of course you can produce it cheaper and the profits will range about the same proportions. A regular cream check each month will fortify you and yotir family against Ahe losses due to the ravages of the boll weevil. When vou realize that South Carolina needs 240.000 more milk cows before it can furnish the di?iry products needed by the rural population, it is evident that cream production for butter-making can not be overdone for many, many years, even if everv farm in the state produces a I surplus. o FOR REPENTANCE The Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, which recently held its semi-annual meeting- at Baltimore, has issued ,a statement to its four and one-half million members and ten million adherents. This statement calls for world-wide repentance to end the present crying evils and restore humanity. It diccusses the social, political and spiritual problems of the world today, condemns inI justice and war, calls for repentance, I urges the practice of the teachings of 1 Christ and demands international co operation. iTION $ You Much tod Cheer; :|| I Good Health, jjj w Year. j| i| 3 ANY jij i 0.*000000*00*00000000000000* arw^T, .p. dso.. u,i?aa ATTACK ON I CLEMENCEAU Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 12.?An anonymous letter, calling Georges t Clemence&u, former premier of r France, a "faker and charlatan," and saying that "he ought to be chased from our shores," has been received by the Americanism Commission of 0 the American Legion in Indianapolis, \from St. Louis, the source of some i other letters protesting against Clemenceau's visit to this country. x The letter, which is signed "Oversc-ffa Front Men," asserts tlu?l ?iie ^ writer favors the Legion's stand against the visit of Captain Helmuth von Muecke, former German naval s officer to this country and adds that c the "Legion should take the same ' stand against Clemenceau." It is boliovpfl that the letter was I written by a person with pro-German i sentiments, and Legion officials are of 1 the opinion that the letter was not written by a former service man. 1 The letter mentions Clemenceau's } proposed visit to St. Louis, December a 5th, and protests vigorously against \ the Tiber's speeches in this country, t The letter may be sent to the police < of St. Louis, who are reported to be i investigating the source of a letter j supposedly written by a crank and < received by the mavor of St. Louis. < That letter said: "The bullets are | ready" for the visit to that city of i Clemenceau. Several other letters protesting j nrainst the presence of the French Tigei in this country have been re- j "eived at national headquarters, but Legion officials say that the protest against the proposed tour of Captain von Muecke far outnumber those received against the Frenchman and hat these protests come from all piirts of the country. There has been only one lettor received attacking the Legion for its stand on the German's visit. o DECEMBER FARM CALEDAK Things to I)o This Minth Agronomy Continue deep plowing where cover crops have not been planted.

Spiv#?y, Pres. | Christmas cand s LOOKING AFTER 1 THE FIRE TRAP This is the season of the year when he people of Conway should he the . nost careful about fire. 11 The other day, several blocks in the ^ ii> of Newbern, N. C.. w*n*-3 swept ^ iway by disastrous fires, thousands ?f people were made homle ?s, and umi.oss men lost their building* ?n hi; conflagration i The same thin-c may haopo-i nry' % I ' or ?-?o-*-?t in Oonwiy. Care'ie.'Ricss has its great part to play in ^ iuch matters. f| Now is the time to look over the f stove flues in the home or shop, th* s >ffice and the bed rooms in dwellings. ^ [f there is any defect found in any | >f these, make it safe at once, even . f you have to tear it out an<l build 1 t over , and even if you have lo do without any fire for a few days. Look over the tsituation and location of the grates, fireplaces, and . teater and stoves. Notice the wood- ^ vork that is exposed to their heat ^ mdemeath and on all sides. Cover < ;he floor underneath all heaters and ^ look stoves with metal, one thickness f it is heavy, several thicknesses if < ' t is a light weight tin. Cover the' sides of the wooden room behind tlie I * ?tove or heater with heavy-weight, * tin?leave no place for the heat of the stove to set the room on fire. Trust no mistakes in this for on it ' the safety of your property, and even * your lifo may depend. Don't figure ' j that the fire in the stove will never i ^ get hot enough to set the room on fire, if the heater is anywhere near the corner or the side walls of the room. You cannot depend on uncer- ^ tainties. You cannot tell what the 1 wood or the coal you nut into this heater will do while you ire out for a short time, or nv\y be h?i*?y in another room, paying no attention tot* the heater. Make it safe under all ' circumstances and then you can lest c-'sy. An, tner thing to do \s to make it a rule never to ho dcptv-'f.ed from, to , t.ilx'e cave r Hie tiro that wovM bo! left in the store or office after ch.singl hours; or the fire that would be l^ft in the daytime when the occupant is oil' at work at some other place. Fix it so that you know that it cannot start n fire after you leave and take precautions that will insure snVtx. j Still another important thing is the removal of fire traps from the premises. By the term from the premises, we mean from inside the room or the huilrlimr ;m<] from tho outside of the I room or the building. Allow no old barrels or boxes to become filled with scraps of waste paper, or excelsior ( from Christmas packages, old clothes, that are no longer of service, trash from the wood box, leavings from the desk or waste basket. Take all these out and place them where they can not attract flames of fire from the ready match, used in lighting a cigar, or the stump of a cigar or cigarette. Allow no piles of old dry paper and other materi.nl to accumulate in the rear rooms, allow none behind the back sheds, even on the ground, allow no accumulations of old good* boxes in the back lot. Place all such things where they cannot make fire. Most of the fires we have are caused by carelessness in some of these things. If you are a farmer and h.ivo a barn -ee that the passages and stalls are kept free of the dry pieces of fodder and wisps of hay. It is better to stack the hay in the open field, unless it can be fixed in son^e old buildings away from other buildings. By keeping the premises clean nf inflammable material, a cigar flung down in side your barn will burn itself out and do you no damage. A fire is the result if you keep tindc there for the spark. Look inside some of the stores and shops today, and you will see the reason for fires. The heater jammed up in one corner with wood drying all .1 !i. /M.I i I.I.. around iv. win craves paiuv mien with waste paper and trash in the back end of the store; several piled up on one another. At the rear door, a pile of old newspapers .ns dry n.nowder. Stop such unsanitary and dnnirerous habits today. Clean up the place and feel better. By reading this article and following: out its directions, there is no reason why this town should not be left free from disastrous fires such as we read of, taking place in other towns. o CHRISTMAS LETTERS Now is the time to get your store or business card added on a hundred or more of the lithographed Christmas letter heads that are on display at The Herald office.
