Points Out Ways Whereby Rural
Schools Nay Be improved.
Editor County Record:
The rural schools ot South Caro-1
lina have been greatly improved in
recent years, but there is yet an enorjpous
amount of work to be done
before the schools in the country;
will compare at all favorably with
the town and city schools. A large
percentage of the population of our;
s State is rural and agricultural; j
therefore, if every boy and girl is to
be given an equal ehance for an education
it is very important that ourj
^ people build up a good system of
country schools. The efficiency of
a country school depends largely
upon the effort put forth in a rural
community by its trustees and teachers.
If they show that they are interested
and will take the leadership
" in improving their schools they will
not fail to get co-operation from patroDS.
I urge eveiy country teacher,
and trustee in South Carolina to ask j
himself this question: What can I;
-I" *v.r? O/I!*AA1 Vinfl

out how yon can make it better aful
go to work with a determination to
improve conditions. Success will
always attend an earnest effort.
During the recent session of the Leg- {
islatnrea bill was passed appropri- j
atiug $20,000 for the purpose ofj
increasing the average length of the:
school term aud to improve the ef- j
ticieucy of the public schools in this;
state.
The State Supt of Education, Mr
J ESwearingen, will gladly send a
copy of this act, together with regulations,
to anyone who will wiite
him for same. Every rural school
should run longer tban three or four
I months; so if yours doesn't run at
least 100 days don't fail to take advantage
of this law. It provides
>at any school whose term is less

00 from the State Sapt of Eduion
for every $1.00 that the
.rons may raise. If any school
rich pays $30.00 a mouth will
. iee $10.00, the State will supply
$20.00 and thus lengthen the term
by one month. Of course, any
greater amount raised by the school
will secure a correspondingly greater
addition to the school term. The
State Board of education has recently
set aside $2,000 of the library
fund to be used by the School Improvement
association for prizes.
This amount was offered last year
and 91 schools entered the contest
It is estimated that $200,000 worth
of material improvement resulted
from this contest. If your school
did not apply last year, don't fail to
make an effort to win a prize this
year. Regulations regarding prizes
can be secured by writing to Miss
Theodosia Dargan, Dalzell, SC. I!
will be glad to furnish any trustees j
or teachers in the State with any I
information I can that will assist |
them in improving the conditions of j

During the spring every one would
be benefited by taking Foley's Kidney
Remedy. It furnishes a needed
tonic to the kidneys after the extra
strain of winter, and it purifies the
blood by stimulating the kidneys,and
causing them to eliminate the impurities
from it. Foley's Kidney Remedy
imparts new life and vigor. Pleasant
to take. W L Wallace.

Ayer's Pills are liver pills. They act
directly on the liver, make more bile
secreted. This is why they are so valuable
in constipation, biliousness, dyspepsia,
sick-headache. Ask your doctor
if he knows a better laxative pill.

No Land So Rich That Fertilizer
Cannot Make It Better
You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them?and the
better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on it.
Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without

Fertilizers
that these fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were
mad-^-Mjly for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land
L normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will
double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers
nc? ne quality, as well as the quantity of the crop and you
. in- e the profits from your land.
"I^ce been using your fertilizers for a number of years" says
4 . William Fraiser, of Glasburg, La.," andfind that it not only fays
I to fertilise% but to <io plenty of it, and use the best fertilisers to be
i had, such as your brands. I have used a number of them and found
! them to he ns recommended and to give better results than any other j
fertilizers that I have ever used."
