*Best Lauren8 Coutty .Farmer * * . o * S, e S o e S * e e * 0 Who arethe best farmers in Lan rens county ? The children of the sev enth grade in the rural schoola have attempted to answer the question and bave given reasons therefor. The question was propounded to them in recent examinations and the replies in some instances were printed in the last issue of "The School Journal", the interesting publication of the coun ty department of education. Of course several severe cases of "big head" may be exNpocted to develop from :the publication of these opinions passet! by Laurens county school children and some (ifilculty nay be experienced In keeping these agricultural sharks within bounds, but probably they will get over it after a spell and return to earth again. Anyway, it has been suggested that if they feel any dis comfort in occupying the dizzy height to which their young adimirers have elevated them, they might relieve themselves and return to the lower level of their neighbors by making a contribution to the treasury of the said '"School Journal" which Is sadly in need of friends. The names of the pupils are not given in some instances, but the re plies are given by niumber, each child having been -designated by a number when the questions were submitte-d. Thus, No. 6 of Frien-dhip is pulil No. 5 in Friendship school, etc. The fol lowing are the answers submitted by some of-the pupils: No. 1 of Hickory TavEirn: "Mr. Bolt is the best farmer I krow. The reason for his success is he wcirks hard and tries." No. 4 of Erbornezer: "M-r. John :F.
