After that little meet the Piedmont Athletic and Ora torical Association was formed, the number being limited to ten schools. Soon the ten places were filled and the records made attracted attention all over the state. In the. spring of 1911) the University nf South Carolina sent an Invitation to thc high schools of the stato to hold a track meet on the university grounds and the students to be en tertained by. th? university. The meet waa ? great success, about 61 men attending representing 13 schools. At that meot the Easlcy high school scored the highest num ber of points my] won the Sylvan cup. Similar mets were held for the next two years. Westminster high Behool won thc cup. Mr. F. E. Schofield and faculty and students of the Univer Bity were untiring in their efforts to malte these meeta a success and the hospitality of the University waa ap preciated by the boys. At the meot In Hill a committee composed of Dr. F. H. H. Calhoun or Clemson Colloge, lt. C. Burts of Has-, ley and F. E. Schofield of Columbia, was appointed to draw up a constitu-i i iou and to report 1912.

Tills call met willi a very prompt an dentliUBiastic gathering, so in Oc tober. P.'l :. thc Priscilla club of Town vii ie aili" into being. The parr?se? cf the club are so many one may wonder if any one thing will be accomplished, for the lield 01 endeavor includes tba whole subject ul' home economics. i Thc club meets at the different homes of the members on Thursday afternoon of each week. The women I take their needlework and there is always nu exchange of Ideas along this line, for all are ambitious to do thc newest and prettiest work. The member.-, i.rc taking a course in do mestic science gotten up by un etnl-l ncnt authority on the subject. Features of .Meeting?. Tiier ave two papers on some purt of this, with help from the govern-j mont bulletin und magazines.

I In addition to the needlework and domestic science courses the duo e.aal started a library and by exchanging books the members broaden their views and keep abreast of the times, nub's limad Object The object then of the club ls to have every individual member bene fit ted, her home made better, ber fam ily happier and healthier, the school and churches of the town Improved, and the whole community benefitted by tho effect of a band of women clubbed together for the common good. Hoing a community club of a small town the Priscilla club realized Its need of coming Into contact with other mlndr if making its members think of th iv, i outside their own small circle. With this object in view lt asked In December, 1913, Tor admission into thc federation. The members wanted to be numbered imong those women of the South Car. alina federation who aro planning and Joing for the advancement ot the com mon good of tbe whole ' state.

WAREHOUSE PLAN1 I Thc New Manufacturer's Record Gives A Survey From Its I First Conception Manufuctun rs' Record. Enthusiastic meetings In thc Caro linas wlihin thc pust few days and thc appointment or a committee or organ ization representative of the cotton inn-rests with a view t() working out the details ur a comprehensive cotton' warehousing system for the south are tiie promise of a definite step forward In thu plan which h?s boen considered for nearly twenty years and which has 1.a put Into execution at several im portant points. I it Ss hoped that t:i<- prosent proje t may take permanent form at the time of the annual convention of thc Amer ican Cotton Manufacturen;' Associa tion in New York next month. It wa? outlined at an informal gathering last week ;it Charlotte, when J. ll .Duke of .New York met a number of leading cotton manufacturers, lt looks to the formation of a co-operative body own-, jug a chain of warehouses for the ben efit of farmers, merebunts and manu facturera and utilizing available ex-. iHtlng warehouses and other facilities.! This warehousing system will involve thc receipt, thc weighing, sampling, grading aad insured storage of hales of cotton, thc insurance of warehouse receipts for them, a'systein of sealing, inspecting and auditing and a certi cation of the warehouse receipts by banking interests ?if such a standing as to guarantee tho integrity and finality of the collateral represented by the receipt, the whole system to be under a board of /directors and managing ofilcers chosan from bank-j lng and financial centers entirely irem, connection or alliance with tho users of the warehouse. Not a New Idea. , j Just about ten years UKO, while ' the growing realization tn tue 3ontn that everybody concerned would be benefitted by a proper financing of the great staph', the plan of thc j warehouse system was widely dis-j cussed. At thar time Col. T. G. Bush of Birmingham a leader in inanufae-' turing Hnd finance in the south, wrote to the Manufacturers' Record as fol lows : " . "There is but one solution, I think, of th's trouble, and that IB/Jt.strong ( ssytcm of warehouses at a number of points in the south, access! bjSato the planter, in which he can sfl|re. his* cotton on reasonable terms find se- ' cure a receipt that is so protected by a strong guarantee or bonding com-, pany as to enable him to use";Tt ap a collateral scouring the lowest reason-. able rate of interest. A system like' this is. not only valuable io thc fanner protecting him guthat li?.inajksell as his judgment nra*. mutate, ifut it is helpful to the'splnncft enabling him to carry his stock in-such a.Way as to avoid unnecessary risk on the market and without excessive vafe-of inter est. That some plait of this kind will and must bc adopted. 1 do ??ot doubt, und the sooner it is. taken bold of by parties capable and strong Hiough fi nancially to carry it out, tho better ii will be for all concerned, y I believe that at many point? local interest ' would promptly coopera?e with other parties In establishing a warehouse system of this kind. About the same time and dealing - with the same subject, 1). A. Tompkins' of Charlotte, contended that lt n> oot in the lueterst of the Soutr.orn farm-' er or of thc cotton-growing states to undertake to maintain cotton at so' high a price as to stimulate large pro- ' ductlon In other countries, that a fair average price will hold the monopoly of cotton growing in the United States! and that a corporation should be . formed with sufficient capital and a large enough field of operation to ac complish average results upon the ; principle underlying Insurance. He argued that the plan would eliminate tho spectacular and would vastly ben efit farmers, merchants and the con BumerB. ' It ls Interesting to recall that more than sixty years ago the'Cotton Plant. . BI-B' convention at Tallahassee, Fla.."' urged as a remedy for the difficulties i af cotton growers the chartering by the states of South Carolina, Georgia, i Louisiana, Alabama and Florida of a' corporation with a minimum capital < of $20,000,000, to be Increased as bust- ; i noss occason requires, to erect or to i purchase extensive cotton warehouses] st Charleston, Mobile, New Orleans, < Appalachtcola and st. Marks. That 1 waa In 1851, and although success has i been gained In several foriiiB of mod ification of the plan, lt has never becn'i carried out within the full range J?f ; Its possibilities. Therefore, millions of persona will await with interest the outcome of the present movemont. which is designed to enable grower to atore and hold bis cotton in safe- 1 ty and the cheapest rate ot interest when the market price, is not satis factory to bim, to enable the cotton merchant and broker to obtain at rea sonable ratea the money*lo make his , purchases and to carry them, and to . enable the manufacturer to assure ? himself of but year's supply of the staple according to his own judgment.!' A cotton warehouse system. of this i kind operating over the whole state ? Incorporated with itself, existing fa-', duties and . contemplated ones, such ia the $30.0000,000 pbultc system of. Now Orleans, and dominated by the tnlHt nf niniiPi-ntlnir WOUtd tend to immediately adju?t?*afndltlbns for the ! gr? wera, buyers, transportation ag- ? ancles and manufacturera by spread- . lng thc movement of ?cotton to mar-', kit over the whole year'and saving lt from this evita of fust of the first three or j four months of every aea ton. > The cotton manufacturers and oth srs In thc Carolinas are encouraged oy the fact that Mr. Duke, who has leen so effective in other lines of ma erial development in the South, has on nd tim? to manifest again Inter est ip the plan. I MISS (ailhlMiTOVH n'oith. Hus Visited Many School* In A IHI'IMUI Ton ntj. Follow MIR is thc report of Mis? dar lington, tlie superviuior of rural schools to Prof. W. H. Tate: Thc last of September, 1913, I bo gan my duties as supervisor of th? The county board. Ute trustees, and patrons have co-operated with me from the beginning, ard they hav? made my plans possible. The trus tees and patrons have very generous ly sent me from school to school. I believe that "Charity begins at lu in ." and my first work was toTono vate the offices of the county aaperin lendent. This took a week of hard v ork. The schools I visited first were tho ones competing for the prizes ottered by the State School Improvement As sociation-Creen Pond. Double Springs, and Old V?rennos were for tunate in securing these prizes, which have been used for further improve ment. Lalor I have visited schools where I was needed for some special reason, and to tho schools where the terniB were short, that 1 might each them before they closed. Up to the pr?sent time I have visited fil schools. Some of thoBo needed very little of my time, while In others X hope I have done much good. I have organized forty-seven (17) Behool improvement association. Arti cle II of the Constitution says: "The purpose of this organization shall be to unite all the people of this community for the Improvement of our public schools; (1) by placing in thc school facilities for health, com fort and education, together with ob jects of beauty; (2), by planting trees, bb rubs and flowers in the school grounds; (.'ll by encouraging the es tablishment of a library in tho school; (4) by making the school a center for the community, by furnishing instrue t?ve amusements." In the past live months those asso ciations with 1,205 members have raised over $1,253.49. They have spent this amount for paint. de*k*j chira, water colors, libraries, black maps, globes, pictures, teachers' desks, the smallest ??.in of thc goou rssuitiss from the workings of these associa tions. The incer.-vt aroused is above price. I have aided the teachers In teaching arithmetic, geography, history, spell ing, writing, physiology and reading. 1 find that reading is more poorly taught than any of the subjects. For the school room, 1 have suggest ed the re-arrangipg and lowering of pictures, regulating' tue heat of the room, re-arranf?ln;; of stats, that thc children might not face the windows, have urged the purchase of shades that the children might not study in the sunshine, encouraged the estab lishment and enlargement of libraries and have helped to re-grade the chil dren, as I find so many of the classes very poorly graded In a general "mix boards, Improvement of the grounds, etc Tbs money raised and spent is bp^-'V A part of my time has been spent at tho office as there were many duties there in getting the work in hand. As the county and schools wero new to mo it was with difficulty that learned and arranged a list of the principals of each school in the county. Many business letters have been written and many circulars Bent out. Anderson county held day was plan ned curing thc summer. Ideas were gotten from Supt. Swearingen, Prof. Tate, Supt. Pitts, Miss Mary Eva Hite and the Ladies Home Journal. Prof. G. W. Chambers of Anderson city schools has charge of the athletics and has drilled thc boya from each town ship. The teachers, pupils and pat rons are working for the day with much enthusiasm. They haye got ten up an exhibit to be sent 'to tho statu Teachers' Association,.and then to be exhibited on Field Day. The Anderson County Teachers' Club haB more than doubled thia year in attendance. Aa chairman of the program committee. I have helped to arrange attractive programs that would be of benefit to the teachers. As I have visited the schools, I have given the teachers pressing invitations to all the club meetings, and have urged the trustees and patrons to feel it their duty that the teachers reached Anderson for the meetings. The county board baa furnished a lunch each time which gave a profitable so cial hour. This has proven a great drawing card. The trastees of thc county .have an association and meet quarterly, and In this way I have been able to reach them as a body. ' I have aided them in securing teach ers, selecting paint, desks, black boards, pictures, chairs, teachers' desks, etc. There are many other things I have accomplished but the above will give you an idea of my work.
