THURSDAY, JUNE 17TH, 192ft. Boost the Movement The members of the State Council of Farm Women have started a move ment that may be far-reaching in its - «ffeet upon cotton producers and tex tile manufacturers. At their recent convention in Rock Hill they adopted almost unanimously resolutions pledg ing themselves - to buy only cotton goodlKfor the remainder of this sea- aon. The movement has been en dorsed by such organizations as the American Legion Auxiliary, the Unit ed Daughters of the Confederacy,*'the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, chambers of commerce, mer chants’ associations, textile manufac turers and others, while Governor McLeod has issued a proclamation set ting aside the' week of June 28th to July 3rd as “Wear a Cotton Dress Week,’’ at which time the importance of this forward-looking step will he stressed throughout the State. Such a movement can, like a snow ball, gather momentum and size as it S progresses and if such is the present -case the demand created for cotton goods will automatically advance the price of the raw material to the great advantage of the cotton farmers, who face financial ruin should the present quotations prevail this Fall. The demand for silks, real and arti ficial, for dresses, lingerie, hose, etc., bas caused a slack in the demand for cotton goods formerly used for those purposes that has not been fully off set by the use of cotton in other in dustries. Farmers' wives, themselves, have played no amal) part in bringing about these conditions and it is quite fitting that the movement to restore cotton to its rightful place in milady’s wardrobe should have originated with them. It is a solution of the present stagnation in the cotton goods market and merchants and manufacturers should join in with one accord to make it successful.

H is very Jine, of course, to boast of the Urge number of teachers employed and the spIendFM $76,000 or $100,000 school buildings in the var- ious town^ af the State, bwt are we getting the results therefrom that we have a right to expect? Is the financial condition of the taxpayers such that they can stand increases in appropriations year after year,— whether it be 'for education or what not ? - - ‘ If, as many claim, the 6-0-1 law is a failure, let’s amend it and remedy the defects therein or go back to the old system of each county levying and expending its own taxes for schools, and practice rigid economy in the expenditure of the funds. We have an idea that we can get as good or better results at a great dcjaL'les? cost. “There she heard that the bandit was to hang from the lips of spec tators after the locked court room .doors were again thrown open.’ — From the account of the trial of un alleged murderer at Baltimore.

No sane man is opposed to education and good roads, but the 0-0-1 law which was hailed by many as the solution of the educational problem in South Carolina is coming in for a vaat amount of criticism, along with the State Highway Department. Th? trouble seems to be that many millions of dollars are being expend ed and many people believe that we •re not getting value received. One object of the law, we believe, Was to assist the schools in the poor- «r counties of the State with money received from taxes on property in tho richer counties. This is called “State aid’’ and some term* it a form of paternalism. Barnwell is one, of the counties that gets back more than it pays into the fund. oWhcie sueh a large amount of money is expended there is bound to be wasteful extravagance. In fact there exists at the. present time a deficit of $440,000—half as much as the State appropriated for all pur poses not so many years ago. Out of the ten million dollars appropriated at the last session of the General Assembly our recollection is that about six million dollars wore act aside for schools and in spite of this tremendous amount^-thero exists deficit of nearly a half million.
