for :the purpose of increasing their

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.

The State Department of Education
received ainally $73.000.00 from

Roebuck f"irm, for--the aiding of Negro

Pickens'ill,r'eceive moreQ of this' mon

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

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.

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.
