In the schoolroom the children hard to manage who cause most of the trouble are the ones wjio are troubled themselves—who are in some sort of ill health, who have poor home en vironment, who are unhappy. In large families where one child occasions more worry poorer health or more highly strung nerves. Ill-health f some sort is the secret of most of the cantankerousness of childhood. , Among grown-ups the trcaible-mak- era are also the troubled.

Children try many things, all trying is useful. Even if they bum their flngere, that’s useful. It teaches them to avoid fire. Each law is an experiment, an ef fort to remedy something wrong or establish something good. Once men were hanged, by lew, not by lynching, for steeling a horse. Now they steal automobiles, and hanging for hor*e thieves automatically disappears. Not the foolish things we plan but what we actually do counts.

The People-Sentinel this week pub- lishes an article from the pen of John H. Perry concerning the abrogation of “the two-thirds rule.” Ever since the last Democratic National Convention in New York in 1924. there has been a concerted effort on the part of cer tain aspirants for the Presidency and their friends to abolish this rule and substitute in its stead the choice of the majority. There is much to be said on both sides of this proposition. Choice of a nominee by a majority vote is demo cratic. It governs the selection of cnadidatea in our own State and coun ty primary eleetkma. On the other hand, the two-thirds rule has long been regarded a* “the South’s veto"— that is, under its operation heretofore it has been impossible to nominate a candidate who was distasteful to this section. Whatever may be one’s views on this matter, it is safe to predict that, in all probability, the two«thirds rule will be oast overboard and the standard bearer of Democracy in 1928 will be chosen by a majority vote.

Holds Monthly Meet Denmark, Feb. 1.—The Barnwell As sociation of Methodist Sunday Schools held its regular monthly meeting at the Denmark Methodist Church Sun day afternoon. The gathering was * largely attended and was considered a splendid meeting from every stand point The Denmark people were most hospitable to their many guests and it was truly a great occasion in the Methodist Sunday School endeavor of. this community. Capt. James Guess, of Denmark, is president of the association and he displayed much interest and made a fine talk. Other appropriate ta'ks which were calculated to result in much benefit were made by the Rev. D. A. Phillips, local Methodist preach er, Mr. Spigner, formerly superintend ent of the Denmark public schools, Mr. Brandon, superintendent of the Olar schools, and Mr. A. B. Utsey, a prominent leligious worker of Bam berg. The sacred music was also greatly enjoyed, the singing of W. F. Schillito and W. L. Riley, both of Denmark, and Paul Whitaker, of Bamberg, being particular noteworthy.

A meeting was held at the county agent’s office and nine of the twelve members were pres ent. This advisory board is made up of representative farmers and busi ness men from different sections of the county. Mr. A. H. Ward, District Agent, attended the meeting and dis cussed with the board and county agent a suggested program for the farmers of this county this year. Due to the extremely low price of cotton at present, it appears more necessary thsn ever before that farmers turn- their attention to a safe program of farming. After a full discussion oy those present a definite program was adopted and farmers are urged to follow it and it is believed that those who do will find their farming more profitable than heretofore. The pro gram adopted is given below and it should be carefully studied to see how well it meets the situation with which we are now faced: 1. Grow food and feed enough for the family and all livestock. (a) Have a good all-year garden and „ home orchard. Produce a sur plus for canning. (b) Grow all the pork needed for home use. (c) Keep one or more good cows so as to supply all .the milk and but ter needed. (d) Raise all the poultry and eggs the family can uae and some to sell (e) Grow sufficient sweet potatoes for entire farm. (f) Grow sugar cane or sorghum for syrup. (g) Keep some bees for honey pro duction. (h) Grow all the feed needed for work stock, poultry, hogs and cows. (i) Provide a good permanent pas»/{\ ture for livestock.- - '•- r * (j) Use only good pure bred *if3s in a ll classes of livestock. # 2. Build up and maintain the fer tility of the soil. (a) Rye,'oats, vetch and mixture of small grain and vetch for .fall sowing to be plowed under in the spring are the crops most commonly grown dur ing the winter. (b) Cowpeas, soybeans and vel vet beans should be grown as summer soil building crops. 3. Cotton. (a) Plant the best cotton seed ob tainable of varieties of proven merit. (b) Co-operate in reducing the number of varieties grown. (c) Grow more and better cotton on fewer acres. (d) Fertilize well, reduce acreage to ten acres per plow or less. 4. Truck Crops. . (a) Fertilize well. (b) Plant early. (c) Use gpod seed. (d) Market high quality products. 5. Combat promptly all insects and plant diseases.—H. G. Boylston, Co. Agent.
