Is it true .that according to population Pickons c o u ii t y stands ahead of all other coun ties of the state in enrollment in our schools? If so, should we not be proud of the fact, and should we not bend every energy of our being to keel) ahea(t and to distance all others? If the statement is true, why is it true? Many other counties are much more able in a financial way; many other counties have wetter school buildings than we have; other counties have as good teachers as we have. Why then, we ask again, are we leading? We suggest that it must be because we have the most wide awake superinten dent of education. There is no question but what that has a good deal to do with the wonder fuil progress we have made and are still making. Prof. R. T. Halluni is a live man. lie believes in whatever your hands find to do, (o it with your might. Our public schools must be better supported, They must have better houses. better equip ments, more money, etc. If the appropriations to state schools have to he cut we must have more money for our com mon schools. There is no jus tice in the world in taxing our people to make large appropria tions to state schools and leave our common schools to starve, We must educate the masse: and the masses will never go t( college. WT therefore owe it t< the masses of the country t< give thenm the very best schooL possible. Let us look after the conmmon schools. That Tr'i-County Fair. What about that tri-county fair the Keowee Courier men tioned last fall? It looks like Pickens county will have a fair at Easloy next fall. Why not Anderson andl Oconee counnties join us at Easley this year and start the tri-county fair? These three counties can have a fair which could not be surpassed by any other three counties in the South. For Home and Nation. (By S. L. Gibson.) If some unkind word or feeling Overtakes you through the day, Do not bear it home at evening, Leave it someOwhere on the way. Little chii ldren)'s ears mnight hear you, Trender eyes mlight see you frown, Home is built for love and laughter, 'Tis noe place to be cast down. Hearthstones are the nation's forges, Characters are moulded there To lift or' raze the civic standard; Do your best to for'm with care Hearts wvhich God has to you given; .Put no faulty metals in, And give the world souls to be honored, God-like models, free from sin; Bo, brother, when you start at -evening * ~ Toward~s the ones who love you best, Leave your troubles far behind God and home will bring you rest.

Cook and Dr. Friedman, both (discredited discoverers, were in Atlanta recently. Hay ing worn out the Phagan mur decr mystery the Atlanta papers are trying valiantly to keep their town in the limelight. Here's a prize winner. It comes from The Batesburg Herald: A man who wvas afraid of thunder crawvled into a hollow log as a place of safety during a thunder storm. The thunder rolled and the rain poured down in torrents, and the 01(d log be gan to swoll up till the poor fel low was wedged in so tight that he could not get out. All his past sins began passing before him. Suddenly he remembered he hadn't paid his newspaper subscription, and he felt so small that he was able to back right out. reitive Pup 1SOUDENIY FINDS OUT, ____ r,0. - ,e. "Make the South a Land of Painted Farm Houses." The Progressive Farmer, one of our best farm papers, says: We haven't lost one bit of in terest in our campaign to "make the South a land of painted farmhouses." We must come to it. If paint didn't help the wood at all, but only made the buildings look brighter, cheer fuller, happier, more progres sive, thifty, "more as if real folks li ed there," it would even then pay, and pay handsomely, to paint eyery farm building. In fact, we have- an idea that the increased good cheer, enter prise, and self confidence that a family will get from living in a painted house will alone pay for the cost of painting in a single ear's time. But more than tp, the paint adds to the life of the lumber so greatly, and lumber is now so costly, that it is a genuine economy to use paint-not only on the home itself, but also on the outbuild ings!and on all the farm tools and machinery. In a recent notable book, "New Lives for Old," William Carleton gives this story of how he painted an old farmhouse-and it is an exper ience many a Progressive Farm or reader could duplicate. Says Mr. Catleton: "The very first- coat brought the old house to life. It's won derful what paint will do. It didn't make the house look new in the sense of making it appear like a house of today, but rath er carried it back to its youth. It was like making an old man young again. We could hardly wait for the paint to dry before starting the second coat, and that carried us back another twenty-five years. Even Seth, who at the start had allowed that the old shack wasn't worth repairing, admitted n'ow that it began to look real nifty. "And the inside looked as fine as the outside. When we be g n, the woodwork was dis colored both oy age and dirt, This made the whole Interior look worse than a cheap tene ment, Twenty dollars worth of white lead and oil changed this as tho by magic into a clear white, as fresh as when thc house was first built. There i; nothing which shows age more than paint, and there's nothing so easily remedied. If the own ers had done what I had alreada done, they would have madi almost 300 per cent. intercst o their investment. In thre< weeks, at a cost of $400, I hat added $1,500 in value to th< place. And it was a legitimate value. Myr paint hadn't cover. ed up defects; it had siniply brought out the honest worth of the structure." A Pup and a Child. If a man had a fifty dollar ipup he would look after it care fully and not let it have the run of the town dlay and night. But if he has a child it is differ ent. They are turned loose at a tender age to go where they will and do what they please. People wonder where the great army of tramps, dead heats, gamblers and disreputable wo men come from. They are ger minated from the seed gathered in countless homes and sown broadcast upon the streets of the cities and towns. There are thousands of children who are heading In that direction, who, as far as care is concerned, are not given eqal sho wing with a valuable pup.-Exchange. Death of Mr. W. M. Hester. After an illness of several months Mr. WV. M. Hester died at his home on Buncomb~e road1 near the American Spinning Co., Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. -He had been in ill health for over a year and his (loath was not unexpected. His death brings sorrow to a large number of friends and relatives and neighbors for he was loved and respected by all who knew him. He wvas born and raised in Pickens county near Dacusvllle as was his widow, who was Missa Elizabeth Rackley. With her he is survived by ten chil dren, four sons and six daugh ters, The funeral services will be held in the Holiness Baptist church, Paris mountain, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Inter ment in the .famiily nlot in the church cemetery.--Greenville Piedmont. A citizen residing near West minster was in town Saturday and made the assertion that he wore his overcoat while harvest. ing wheat one day last week. He kept it on for half of the day before it got hot enough for him to shed it.--Tugaloo Trib une. F. H. Dominick for Congress. The Anderson Intelligencer announces with glowing head lines that "Col. Fred H. Domi nick," will be a candidate for Oongress to succeed "Wyatt Aiken." This is not the first glowing headline candidate that the Iutelligencer has placed on the turf as a sure winner, and with what success, the public have each time had a say. Somehow Wyatt Aiken is still at his post, doing his duty in the same old way, looking after the humblest of his constituents, with that same fidelity that has marked his course in Congress since the first day he took the oath of office. Of course there are those who want his place, as there have been, each succeeding two years since his election, but there al ways seem to have been a good wholesome majority willing to continue in office the man who has neglected no duty, and who has stood for the interests of the people against corporate .greed. He is just the same plain Wyatt Aiken, honest, straight, uncompromising in party principle and thoughtful of his constituents, whether for or against him. He 'knows the people and the people know him; at any rate, they don't appear, in the past, to have taken their lesson from the per sonal prejudice of any man or set of men. (Adv.) Farm for Sale.
