We wonder if the hltiuble brjekayer making his $8.00 a day aspires to give his kids an education so they may have a chance in the world. What (10 Ou reckon the hens think about the high price of eggs? Do they complain about tile profits between the aroducer and consumer? PAYING T1.\(HlIS. School teachers at Gatfney have pe titioled for a i inimnumnt salary of $90 a ilontih. Considering the buying pow er of ithe dollar today this about equals St. r $.it loulr years .o. \'eiy prob ably the iium salary in Gaffney foul, yars ago was $4 or $5.0. If theP teachers are only asking to be put. on the saille batis as four years ago 'hey cannot hag with aFk ng too uh, for on .ln average they v.-ore Sadly underpaid then. The peti lion slould be grainted, of cilrse, if Gatfiney childrel. like I aureis and all othr children, arc to be property tught becalse if the petition is not. granted it will later res-olve( into a do mand. \e (o not mveani that the (;aff nevy teachers are going on a otrike. blit Iuinless those who are <cilenident uplonl their own resourc es for 1a living, and ticy are generally f(he best teach ors, are not given l remunerative em jiloymtieit at teaching they are -going at something else. wile those Who are not dependent upon teachintg to live may decide tlat tihe gaimeT is 1not '.orth tlie candle and decide to stay at home where the board bill doesn't come so high. The school trustees are 'i) against a stiff proposition. The teaclhers must have more and the people, living in luxury, are complaining of taxes. The situation can be solved only by facing the Issue. We are to have good schools or we are not to have them. If we de cide that we want them and cannot pay for them while maintaining the muchly flaunted "American standard of living" then we will have to reduce this standard by giving i) some of the things it calls for. If we want schools and cannot. have them and a blig time too, we will have to do away with the big timle. Ia the face of the comforts and ex trava gances inl 1geI In today, it is mocl ery to tell the teachers we can not imy theml more. The Ifoveeds from any oie of a hhialf dozen extav agances indulged in by tihe Iax payers of Caffney or' Lautrens twould ipay tile salaries of the entire t eachting force of either city.

Wheeler, Trustees, Clerianing up1) tihe Caipus. There is nothing like -team work. Yesterday was "Clean-Up Day" at the University of South Carolina. Thle campus needed attention. Tie pro fessors and men students and women students were organized into two regi ments with all the commanding offic ers and staff positions that could be thought of and at 9 o'clock they went at it hammer and tongs or shovels and rakes, and found plenty to do, which they did, of course, as the members of tie Legislature had been especially invited to witness the very unusual performance. The State said yesterday: "T.ihe morning is to be spent in clean ing up the camipurs, replanting the mle morial trees which lhave died since Arbor Day and otherwise beautifying tihe university caripus, which has for a lon g tlime surffe ed fromt a lack of attention, finally reaching such a state that tie students decided to take tie matter into IhIr hwn hands and spend the holiday tomorrow at work, removing all signs of this long neg At I o'clock a barbece dilinerI was served by "the womeni of tIre camPus" to the workers in the tieh, and to the mellibers of the ILegislature. an(d here, again, it -will be noted that the stir dents and the statesmen maintained the tIroe traditiois of the State by eating. The wonmei, as usual, pre pared the food and he omen, a1s ursmal ate it. or of it, as they say in Laaurens. Th'lere is one statemernt about tire event, however. that Nwe do not < luite uInderstanrd and that is "the cooking (of the ment" 'was b(egurn Sabbath niht.. W wolid like to ask Fitz .\ie.\Last'r, ti' workina' mlmbrvi of the rtaff of The State, if this was restinrgi "evenr from l(srIch world ly viim ploymerint anad r'ecrnti lon as are lawful on otier days, arid how it wvas possible for him to sriffelr this fact to escape his attention'? ult the cxamriple net by th' students and teachers of tihe lI'niversity mlight well be followed. we have understood, by the professors and students of an other great institution not a1 thousand files fro- iartanhur;. ThIre -; nothing like a tidy lookirg cailpius to please the public eye and possibly reach the public pocket. After what threy saw at the lniversity yesterday, and tire barbecue they attended, tile members of the Legislature w\.Ol(l (tliess have voted rnarinrously for inCr'eased apProPriations. - Spartar Journal.
