in big Swamp i
B. B. Vaufcht and a companion on 1
a hunting trip &ot iost one night last 1
week in the wilds of the Big Swamp,
in Dogwood Neck township.
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

:o get an answering whoop from the
nan they had left on the nill, but in
rain, and as to telling the direction
without some guide of that kind, it
was found impossible.
They hud to remain in the Lwump
until just before day they heard the
roosters crowing at a home of somebody
on the hill. Taking the noise rf
the chickens as a guide they came
jut to the higher land and found that
they were about one and one-half
miles from the point where they had
entered the swamp.
The night was rainy and both of
the hunters got soaking wet and they
remained in that condition until they
were able to find themselves the following
morning.
The Big Swamp is known to hunters
as a good place for game and it
is also known as one of the wildest
and thickest places on the map of
Horry County. In the deep wilds of

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.

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.

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.

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.
