NOT WHAT IT SHOULD BE j
Report on Visit to the County Chain j
Gang Made by Asst. Sect. Brearley j.
Living conditions at the Williams- i.
burg County chain gang are not as j,
good as they should bo. The blank- j.
ets are badly in need of a thorough j
cleansing since they have probably (
not been washed in a year. The sew-;,
age is dumped into an open ditch in- ^
stead of being put into a pit and j ]
covered every day with three or four;,
inches of dirt. The camp is also in- .

prevent this it is necessary for all j
foremen to require all newly committed
prisoners to bathe thoroughly
and be treated with vermicide and to
supply them with clean clothes and
bedding. The clothes^ they wore to
camp should then be disinfected or
burned. i
The equipment of the camp should
also be improved. The tent has no
fly or second cover and leaks badly
in rainy weather; the "cage" is also
in need of cepairs and should be supplied
with curtains before the winter
to protect the prisoners from the
wind; and more bedding of a variety

POPULATION OF U..S.
IS NOW 105,000,000
Chief Statistician of Census Bureau
Estimates Growth
*au it 26 Per Cent .. . ]
The population of continental ^
United States is estimated at 105, ;
000,000 by J. A. Hill, chief statist)- <
dun of the census bureau. His calcu- 1
latin is based on the combined popu- <
lation of 1,406 cities and towns for
which statistics were announced last j
week. ;
The increase over 1910 is placed at 1
about 13,000,000 showing the growth ,
of the country has not kept pace with
previous decades. Almost complete
cessation of immigration during the
war is the chief reason assigned for
the falling off in growth. Others
suggested were the two influenza epidemics,
return of aliens to their na- ,
tive lands, and deaths of soldiers
abroad and at home during the war.
The approximate population of the
cities and towns on which the estimate
was made is 41,029,354. This
is an average of 26 per cent, compared
with 85 per cent in the pre
vious. decade.

County Sch<>ols Receive State Ajd.
i
Editor County Record: Money as
indicated below has been received
from the office of the State Superintendent
of Education for needy
schools under the Equalizing Act.
rhe State Superintendent says in a
letter: "Owing to the unexpected increase
in the number of districts vot
ing 8 mills or more, the equalizing |
fund had to be sealed. Payment was
made on the basis of 47.65%. I shall
report the deficit to the legislature
in January. At least $400,000 will be
needed to carry out the Equalizing
law next year."
Schools received aid as follows: |
Anderson No. 5 $117.00 |
Sumter No. 6 205.00
Turkey No. 8 196.00
Midway No. 11 413.00
Hemingway No. 12 629.00

Venters No. 23 377.00
Cedar Swamp No. 28 611.00
Pergamos No. 29 292.00
Earle No. 36 365.00
XesmHh No. 37 114.00
Airawell No. 39 319.00 <

Sandy Bay No. 55 94.00 I
Piney Forrest No. 61 24.00 i
Total 7046.00

As these figures represent less than
lalf the amount the several schools
vere entitled to und&v the law, and
approved by the State Supt. of Eduction,
it wiil readily be seen that
these schools will close the year in
febt
I wish again to impress on trustees
the importance and absolute necessity
of coining up to the requirements of
the law. One school failed to get
any money for the need of 3 pupils.
If their school had enrolled three
pupils more than they did they would
have been entitled to $700.00. Don't
think 23 or 24 pupils in a class room
will do when the law says 25. I have
always done my very best to get
every cent possible for the schools of
the county. As the demand increases,
however, I find the money hard to
get

Tobacco Meeting Called for Tuesday
Mullins, S. C., June 29, 1920.
A little more than a year ago the
South Carolina Tobacco Association
was organized at Florence, S. C., but
soon after the markets opened last
year it was found that the organization
lacked efficiency. As every ware- i
house selling tobacco in the belt was
full of tobacco and could not ship a
pound, hence it was necessary to have <
a call meeting of the association and
appoint a committee to go to Wash- j
ington for the purpose of getting the
? M -i i fPL:? j
rnuroaa eniuiiigo mueu. una was ,
done and in three days the purpose j
was fully acomplished.
As vice-president of the association
I have received urgent requests from
prominent farmers, bankers, warehousemen
and tobacco buyers asking
far a meeting of the association. In
accordance with these requests I have
selected next Tuesday, July 6th at
11:30 for a meeting of the association
to be held in the county court house
in Florence, S. C., for the purpose of
perfecting a more efficient organization
and to consider the question of
finance and transportation and any
other matter which may properly
come before the raeetig.
In making this call I earnestly request
that th? tobacco growers, the
tobacco warehousemen, the tobacco
buyers and the bankers of every tobacco
growing section of the State
send representatives to the meeting.
It is also requested that the weekly'
