One Lauren? county farmer says thnt he ha? twelve hundred acres of cotton with a pood stand on every acre.

The Greenville county educators are discussing the question of hav ing s county field for the schools next year. They ought to have had a rep resentative here during the Laurens county school fair where a few point ers could have been secured on how to run such an event. ? ? ? One thing that some people in these proposed new county areas should bear in mind la that the pro posed new counties must bear their proportionate share of the present indebetnedness of the old counties. Any impression to the contrary is erroneous. The debt la transferred to the new county. ? ? ? What became of the "Swat the Fly" campaign inaugurated by the Civic league? An anti-fly campaign con ducted in connection with an educa tional campaign along all sanita/y lines would be productive of much good.

We have never been able to under stand just what is meant by an "all day-singing."?Greenwood Journal. Ask t>><? Laurens people. They know more al>ont it than anybody else. At least tr.ey have more of it.?Newberrj Herald & News. An all-day singine is just what the word implies, an all day singing, something like the old time preaching in the country, where people came from long distances, to have services in the morning, dinner on the lawn around the house of wor ship and services acair. in the after noon. At the all-day singing, the people come from miles around, bring ing "well filled baskets" prepared to stay all day. A song service is held in the morning followed by the mid day meal. After dinner the singing is resumed until the time comes to so home. The singing is under the direc tion of a roguarly elected choir lead er, who possibly will sing a solo or prepare a program of solos, duets, quartets, etc. The music consists en tirely of sacred songs, sung In the good old-fashioned way with the spirit and religious fervor characteristic of fervid, devout people. While the cus tom might not be peculiar to this sec tion, it seems to be more common here than elsewhere, possibly because of the unusually sociable inclination <of the people and their natural love for music derived from the cultivation of the musical instinct since the early settlement of the county.
