What has become of the old-timey boy who had rather turn the grindstone for father than to go fishing?

S Mr. Irvin Miller says that he agrees with us that one chicken in the frying pan is worth six in the garden. The weather has been powerful dry' fi the past several weeks, but it hasn't had anything on us in that respect. A "beauty doctor," whatever that is, says that "deformed feet mars one's beauty." The odor from some of them mars many a man's pleasure also. Why is a tater bug, anyhow? The Sentinel will give for the first correct answer to this question one of "Cyclone" - Davis' famous speeches in congress. Ex-Mayor John P. Grace of Charles ton is to start a newspaper there soon. Which means that there will likely be some warm politics ere long in the city by the sea. When a bank cashier says he has been advised to tage an early vacation, it would be wise for the directors to in. quire whether the advice is given by the doctor or a lawyer. Questions that have puzzled sages for thousands of years are all in a fair way of settlement now. The orations of the college boys and the essays of the girls will no doubt settle the whole business. Augusta is soon to have in her midst "The Girl From Milwaukee," and the Chronicle avers she has "a most re markable voice." Most all of 'em in Milwaukee have remarkable voices-for beer. Senator O'Gorman of New York has announced that he will not be a candi date for re-election. The sonate coulk spare a few more alleged Democrati from that august body and never mis tiem. W. W.

No one denies that if a great proportion of the population of ANY county -remain in ignorance it is safe to say that in similar proportion they will Vlain poor. Why does the State single out Pickens county? If the State knew the conditions in Pickens county and knew the awaken ing tp.tbe;,nded of education in this coun* its 4ditorial would probably have been different, for we believe the State is Ar.onet-vs pr., - Wef61, e te iri g^yig'that in no other county'ii the state with the same pop ulation is there greater interest being taken in education than in' Pickens county today, and no county has made more rapid strides during the past ten years than has, Pickens county, iaccord ing to its means. Ten years ago there were two modei-n school buildings in Pickens county. To day there are twenty-four modern school buildings in the county, built by archi tects' plans, and many other good one and two-room buildings built during that time. During the past year $14,000 have been spent in building six new school buildings in Pickens county. Pickens county stands twentieth among the counties of the state in per capita expenditure per pupil according to enrollment, which meansthat twenty four counties do not spend as much pei pupil. as does Pickens. We considez this Vetty $Ood for a "poor" county. Only fifteen counties in the state pay their county superintendents of educa tion- more than Pickens county pays its superintendent. Thete are fifty-three school districts in Pickens county and forty-eight of them.have special tax levies for schoo purposes. When people levy taxes di. rectly upon themselves for any purpost you may know they are very much in. terested in that p~urpose. And the greater part of -the county has no rail. roads or cotton mills to help pay thiu tax, but the people 'themselves pay it The district in which Pickens town il located has levied as much special ta: for school purposes as the state wil allow it. We believe there is only on other district i the state wvhich ha -done this. In his last report to the state super intendent of education the superintend ent of education of Pickens county sayr a The- school year 1914-15 has been successful one for Pickens county, th total enrollment for the county bein a 6,908-5l,503 whites and 1,405 negroes - or 80.,per cent white and 20 per ceri negroes. - Public sentiment in favor o better schools is steadily growing. Ther are 53' districts in the county and 4 have special tax. Twelve districts vote to increase their special levy, while tw t voted special levies.

Six new buildin were erected and two districts added t their present buildings. Much new furniture was put in the schools of the county. The number of schools employing two or more teachers is increasing. Im provements have been made in all lines of school work throughout the county. The prospects are good for a:contin ued decrease of illiteracy and increase of wealth in Picicens county. We have no figures on the per capita wealth of the counties in this state, but we do. not believe. that,'compared to other counties of the state, Pickens county stands so very low. The -ap pearance of the people and their homes would not lead one to believe that the people of Pickens county were the poor est in the state. As ,to. the .cpndidate -for the legla tui-e:-and-his 'pltfr' the yeople-df Pickens- county will decide whether he will represent them, and they are fully competent to make iheir own choice of representatives. The State might have truthfully ad ded to its article that lawyers and of ficials who know, without exception, say that Pickens county people are the most law-abiding and law-enforcing people in the state. Editor Rion McKissick of the Green ville News was a visitor in Pjqkens one day last .week. Mr. McIkissick has been with the News only a short time, '"ut since his connection with that paper it has shown marked improvement. While here he purchased some sen-son. Some people seem- to think that if we disagree with them politically we are not their personal friends. This is c great mistake. If we ever get to the point that we -cannot disagree with i friend on political principles and still b( his personal friek4 we will quit trying to conduct a newspaper. .Rumor has it that some of our goo and most substantial citizens are con sidering the matter of offering for the legislature--some .from Easley, som( from Liberty and 'some from Pickens, Why can't some of our progressive farmers make the sacrifice to serve their county and state? The way to gel good legislation is to get good men tc go to the legislature, keep it up for a few years and we will have good laws. Dlug Yongue says last week two me:1 came thru Pickens in a Ford and he sold them a bottle each of Tainlac, anc that when they got a few miles out ol town their gasoline 'gave out.- The3 -didn't know what to do, but finall3 - poured their Tanlac into the gasolinE .tank and started back to Pickens. The STanlac not only answered the purpost a of gasoline, but when the two men gol back to town' they were riding in limousine. Dunk Botts says he doesn'i fbelieve a word of it, but says he hai 3 rather pour Tanlac into a Ford than t< take it himself. Dr. Odom makes glad eyes. Do yoi t wear them? See date. you mone.
