C., DEC. 6, 1l-!2 Te census blreau's. report of cot tonl ginned in this state rin)or to No vember I it ft iscloses ilte interestin t fact that hile counties -had ginned to, lial date 1(ore bales than were gin ined to the Samllie date last year. This fact is interesting in that these inie31( counties -*(ere all in the lower pa rt 1f, tle state where tihe boll weevil first began to make Iiis r1avages. The counil - lies 'Ire Aliken, Allendale. Hlaimberg, I Iarnwell, Beaufort, Colleton, I)orches Ier, llampton andl .asper. These cotislltis are evidently beginning to "come ba'k" in cotton raising, though very slowly -for evel with tie increas ed yield the total is very smnall. A be inninig, however, is what conilts. They hav (emonstrated that lrogress van be made against the weevil even tlougli he imiight not -be exterminated. lFy next year the ta)les should begin to tun in this County. * * t E'#DUCATIONA, WflC This week is being obseved $ill ov er the United States as E0ducational Week. The special celebraJ0on is be ing pronoted by the national 'Bureau of IEducation, In cooperation with the Anmerican I egion and the National IEducational Association. South Carol'ina is participathing in the celebration. Leaders in education in tle state are attempting to focus the attelition of its citizens oil the need of education as an instrinnent of t progress and prosperity. South Carolina ranks very low ailoig other states of tile uni ion in il literacy. Tihe southern states coin pare very unfavorably with other states of the union in the same respect. t To promote educational progress In the state and southern states coilnpari Sois are being made with olier states as to the amounts expended per capita for education. The comparisons rep resent a serious reflection on u1s in outr educational endeavors. It is safe to say that the low standing of southern states in .illiteracy Is due to lack of education aliong the nlegrocs. Accepting 'the argulent of our edum cators that prosperity goes hand in haIY1d with ed.ucation, .It is a logical conclusion that, tile coll.parat.tive pov orty of the south is due to its unedu cated population. . - Thq.jlrgest'proplrtionl of tile unle(u cated in .the south and that -portion of Its po'pulatl'on on whichl Its wealth largely,. dleipends,. its' laboping chI(s0,. is - composed mostly of conoreot .people, It is an unescapatble (clctlIion thati if we are to overcome the4'iucational obustacle to progress anti prosp~erity, all -classes of the popu)laition must be educated or the goal at which we aimI WJil he m1issedl. - A reu ular pcommilun ientlon of Laurenis Lodge No. 260, A.

"During the past year, I estimate that from 5,000 to 8,000 negroes-have left our chureh in South Carolina," he said. "Some churches are prac tically (epopulated--only two or three imembers ieuainlng. It might be re marked that our collections have not fallen off very much, this being due probably to the redoubled efforts which have been put forth by those who have remained. Flock to Cities ":Most of the negroes who have left le state have gone to New York and 'h icago, and the counties from which he migration has been heaviest are Xbbeville, Greenwooi and McCormick. n somlie sections, %wh-eIre the boll wee- 1 ii has boon particularly destructive, I he treatment giveni the tenants has I een harsh. Even the chickons and le cabbages in the gardens have -been I aken from tenants so that there has ween actually distress; in the lower I ci rt of Abbeville an(d t he upper part )f Edgelield countries the distress has ween acute. Where harsh treatment J ias bven given tenants they are leav ng; where there has been a disposi- I ion to be lenient, the tenants are c ta ying. 'Tells of linsinig "Another factor Ithat has had much nIMluince in this migration are the let ers that have come back from tile nen and women who have gone North. 'hey are glowing and tell what. the vriters make---not wiat they save. "I went to tNew York to see just low things were with these people.

Right now it. is in I till swing, they are leaving by the arload There is no cotton to pick, >r not 111much, winter is coming onl, and iey aire leaving. "The Ku Klux Klan. too, is a factor n this migration. The negroes are tiaid of it and it is a menace to a settling down' among them.
