'3he 'Calhoun-Clemnson School .bt. sons are now circulating a petiti9n for :the purpose of increasing their cemrpulsory attendance period from tour imoths 'to nine months. This is one' of .he most progressive steps takea 'by :any 'school district in Pick ens oi0ny E'very school who is vita lly intereAted i'n the 'betterment of their 'boys';and girls should take the same <tep. This eame school has also this tear been inade i.to a high school. The people of Calhoun-Clemson are to be congratulated on this interqtt and their progressiveness, and should feel proud to set .n example for the other * school districts of the county to fol -low. The patirons of the Ambiezi school are requested to meet the Supt. of Education at their school house Septs. 23rd. at 8.00 P. M. Questions pretain,~ ing to their school wizll be discued4, arn[- it is hoped that every patron inte'restedl in their school will be on hand. Tiwelve hundred was received from * the Department of Education of South Carolina last ,we~ek for the Negro School Building in the city of Easley. The State Department of Education received ainally $73.000.00 from Rorenviald a member of the Sears & Roebuck f"irm, for--the aiding of Negro -school Iiuildings. It is hoped 'that Pickens'ill,r'eceive moreQ of this' mon ey from time to time.

Mr. W::;.P. Long a residlent of the Twelve Mile school District 1g <me 1f Y Pickenue Counties most proglesilve *thinkers, when it ecmres to devising *ways apd means of making a living. Mr. Leggi does notfiepend absolutely on his e prn or cotton crop -for support .neither. does he depend upon -his -h4i Scrop, .~ the iiumben ~q. pigs le c.an raise.

Y4u have read the HIoly Wrrit eS tlidro being twelve kir4s of fruit upon one tree, well this has, almost come true in the case of Mr. Long. If you -should visit his orchard you would first be- impressed with the Plumb and Peach 'growing on the same tree. Next of interest you would se pples, pears, and peaches on the same irce. Mr. Long's drchard will do any :an good to see it. It shows that we in Pickens County have a wonderful opportunity to leave off thie plant4ing of so much cotton and turn or finer. 'gies into other channels that wild prove as. benificial. To give the reader an idea of just howthis is:accomplished and also a detailed idea of just what is'done we submit the 'following; Mr. Long secured a wild apple tree known as the'Ball Mt. and has budded o this tree the'Bauldig,.apple,. /Phis gives -a funny appeatance'"'to. Ate a small seedling apple beside a large beautiful apple. Another tree h securet in the mountains. just a seeding apple tree, and on this tree he has grafted .and ,budded four' kinds of apples, namely, the Kansas Black, Baulding Red, Sheep Nose, and the Ben Davis Light Red. Also he has a Wild Sweet Apple tree which grows the Howard apple. -Besides these meitioned he has the old original Sheep Nose, and almost every variety of apple that you can imagine The farmers of Pickerie county should make a visit to Mr. Longs or dhard:and get,:an -ide'dof.what.eanbe Still another tree, a eommon J'orse Apple tree, bears two varieties of the Sheep Nose apple. Tbis.- is a very beautiful specimen of this kind of w'ork.. Cotton is not the ronly way 'we have to make a living. Let. us change things around and -have .a variety, so when one crop fails we will have an other upon which we can depend. C.. PETIT - JUkORS FIRST.WEEK .

What Does A Newspaper Owe to Its Readers? . rom 'The ,,Whitefisb, .Qont.,. Pilot) -The .elation of a ne wspapers to 'its reacrs is one that 'at times is Worth -thinking :about. Is it purely a business relation in which the sub scriber pays so much per year for the paper and the publisher contracts to give in :his .news columns accounts of pink tees and' lemonade socials, or 'that Mrs. Jones stook dinner with Mrs. Brown, and lmith's baby has the numps.? 'Or <does not the average publisher expect W. give more than is included in ia normal business relation? And doesn't the;reader expect more? If -it vas .a pure business relption-a matter of dolI1s and cents -the &avoage tpublisher would charge more. per annurn for a subscription. Eliminatng. eveiything but news, few, if any, of the numerous' publish ers -of the county could supply the lpaper at anything like the usual chazie iper year. We fancy that the average publisher likes to think of his readers :as :al comprising one big family having many things in com mon gnd -Who feel that when they receive the paper each issue that. they are getting more than the two or three cents that it. costs them. We are inclined to think that between the average paper and its average reader there is a relation that is bdeytnd and above a pure business re lation. 'The paper 'should give that which passes as current news, to be sure, but over and above this it must give a community service that can not be measured in dollars. It must stand for the best that is in the community. It must have courage to condemn, as well as courage to commend. A paper to command respect' cannot be spineless. It must have .a code :and :abide by that code. If it is a real paper its readers will respect it if they do not always agred with it. A paper's great asset is a lint of readers who respect -it... -A town's greatest asset is a paper that its readers respect. A paper must be honest, and as far as humanly pos sible it should ' impartial. A paper that does not. have the confidence of its readers incapable as a community spokesman. A paper that is run for revenue alone cannot long maintain the respect of its readers. These are some of the things that a paper ows to its readers. Some times, stop and think what you, as a reader, owe to the paper, not in dollars, but in' .a way that is bigger than dollars.
