To advance the prices of food stuffs at this time is little shor of criminal, and those responsi ble for it should be made to suf fer. There is no cause for it,bu the reason given by provisiot merchants is the war in Europe which is no reason all, becaus there is no demand abroad fo provisions, or, rather, there is n way we can dispose of our sur plus goods, as provisions is con traband. In fact, the advanct looks like a grab game on th< part of provision dealers to rol the people.

CASTOR IA NORTH CAROLINA V RELIEF FROM DISO Mr. Wade Thankful He Read d About Mayr's Wonderful t Stomach Remedy E. T. Wade of Wiliston, N. C., was e the victim of stomach disorders. He a tried many' remedies and took a great f deal of z edicine and. treatments. Re lief seemed a long time coming. Then he fund Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Remedy, took a dose-and found relief at once. He told his opin- t ion of the remedy in a letter in which s he said: ( "Your medicine has worked wonders. t I feel so much better. I am thankful I to you, indeed, for advertising your 1 wonderful remedy in the papers, as otherwise I might never have known of it." Along with this letter Mr. Wade or- E dered more of the remedy.

A convention of school trus tees to discuss this standard and to apnlv 6r modify it would -be helpful. If such a meeting could be arranged about the middle of October, I hope you will allow me the privilege of attending. Though it has never been my good fortune to see a finer crop of corn or of fruit than the Pickens people can show during 1914. I believe their best pro ducts are the fine,quick,healthy, friendly boys and girls literally crowding into your schoolrooms. If any college president in the world could boast of your stud-J ent body of 5000 pupils, he would be hailed as one of the 1 leading educators of the day. I5 This consideration makes me wonder how long it will be be-1; fore iPickens County will make i the term of her County Super-e intendent of Education fourr years, and will give the office a salary of at least $1500. This has already been done in a few counties, and I am franik to say that its adoption .in Pickens c would only be a deserved recog nitioni of your tine work. In conclusion, I hope the edu- jI cational enthusiasm of the peI pe will continue to grow until' every district has secured ade- a quate facilities by voting a local d tax and by taking advantage of. State aid. A per capita expend iture of at least $15 per child is the minimum cost of adequate facilities. Looking forward with pleas- S ant anticipation to the exami nation of your annual reportk for the scholastic year 1913-14, I am. Yours respectfully, J. E. SWEARINGEN, State Supt. of Education.

J. E. Swearingen visited several of t the schools in this county dur ing August and upon his return to Columbia wrote the following letter to Professor Hallum: Dear Mr. Hallum: My visit to your rural schools on Wednes day ant Thursday of this week brought me much pleasure and r information. e My first duty is to thank you for the many courtesies, un i stinted hospitality so kindly shown me by yourself and your co-workers. A stranger has e only to cross the threshold of a . Pickens' home, or to mingle 0 with your patrons, in order to enjoy a hearty welcome. - In the next place. I congratu e late you most cordially on the li -progress and co-operation you e have secured. School spirit in v Pickens county is strong, and growing stronger each year. At Martin the trustees are s erecting a model building with e two. classrooms. This will. be m- needed before it can be com n pleted. -The 109 pupils already . enrolled this summer for work is in the single classroom of the - old building are merely waiting r for the finishing touches to be il given to the new house. You were certainly right in retain ing the old building, because d every indication points to a de d mand for three teachers and e three classrooms in this district g. in the near future. I I am frank to say that I was e agreeably surprised to find 85 e children in attendance the after e noon of our visit. A finer lot e of boys and girls can be found nowhere in South Carolina. Yout plan to give these pupils a n model schoolhouse and a six Lr months' term woke a respon >f sive chord in the heart of each 3, patron, contributing money or >f work for the new building. LS I have long wished to visit g Mile Creek because - of 'its his o toric and romantic associations. ,r After talking with the trustees s of this district and other splen )- did citizens like Mr. L. R. Dal s ton, I appreciate the new force which is helping to create under your leadership the fine educa tional enthusiasm of the county. ;t It. is pleasure to give every form e of State aid to. the schools of e these districts. I only regret a that the appropriation for build i- Ings and for needy schools will e not admit of even greater as -sistance. r Ruhamah has taken a place n among the foremost special tax - districts of- the county. The n eight mill levy voted by th6 people of this community will insure their children~ a modern building with two class rooms, fl two teachers and a term of six months. If possible, I hope the house can be made ready for -occupancy this fall, At Bethlehem I found one teacher with a full classroom rand a second teacher hard at rwork in the adjoining grove. eAn open air school is a luxury. 'But it should be a thing of a preference rather than necessity. Mv observations convinced me that a summer term in the 25 schools now in operation can s be used to adyantage, if two precautions a re o b s er ved. eTeachers should be employed for the full year. One set of in structors for the summer term s of two months and another set of instructors for the winter term iof four or five months will cause a useless waste of school funds already too small. -The boys and girls of Pickens t county should -not be mrade the -whittlingsticks either of sum - mer swallows, anxious to spend t two months in your delightful i climate, or of winter-weaklings ,willing to teach short term e schools at beggarly salaries un r attractive to more competent instructors. Every board of - trustees should establish the - policy of holding teachers two, three, or even four years, The1 a ruinous practice of making two > shifts a session not only costs - money but actually injures the -children. -My second impression is that the classificar~ion of pupils might - be greatly improved in many classrooms. The tr avyeli n g teacher working in Oconee > under the direction of - the County Superintendent has se cured prompt co-operation from teachers in improving classifi cation and organization of their work. Of course the County ,Superintendent could manage this detail if time would allow. It is impossibre, however, for any one man to (10 the clerical, iadministrative, o r ganiz in g, classifying and directive work of a county school system as 'large as you have in Pickens. SYour intimate familiarity with I the details of every district and -een every classroom could not be improved. But I hope your office may be strengthened by the addition of a trained woman teacher to serve as County' Supervisor of schools. The cost will not exceed $'750, End the benefits will extend to more than 5000' public school pupils. The growth of rural graded schools make me hope for at least twenty applications from progressive districts ,this fall. The needa of the county will not be adequately met until at least twenty-five rural graded schools have been successfully [AN FINDS QUICK RERS OF STOMACH ose proves-no long treatment.
