THE COUNTRY PUBLISHER NO1
PRESIDIUM Uf lilfc
UNITED STATES
Warren G. Harding. country new
paper publisher, is in the Whi
House?President of the Unit*
States. He was inaugurated la
Friday. May he become one of tl
greatest of American president
Certainly this newspaper piedges i
efforts to help him to that end. E
faces perplexing problems both j
home and abroad, but none so bewi
dering that it cannot be solved by tl
application of correct reasoning ai
honesty of purpose. We have an abi
ing faith in the sound thought of tl
American people, and we rejoice b
cause President Harding, as a pui
lisher, need not be taught the vali
of wholesome contact with his fello
men and women. If he take couns
with the nation he is pledged to ser
the great voice will not iead hi
astray. In the days to come shou
we offer facts in criticism of his pol
ties it will come because we fear 01
President may err as a result <
silence. Our wish is to be helpful,
put at the disposal of the Preside
the best of our thought always in tl
interest of the people to whose ser
ice the life of this good man is dec
cated. The President of the Unit
States does not represent the Repu
lican party, the Democratic party <
. any other party. He represen
America, and we stand for that wi
face upilfted, and unafraid.

NOT NECESSARY.
Although The County Record is r
ceiving a lot of propaganda the
idays relative to the farmers reducii
their cotton acreage, just as was tl
case last year, when we disseminau
the advise to no profitable result M
Farmer thought he saw forty and fi
ty cent cotton ahead, planted mo
cotton than ever, some doubling the
acreage instead of reducing it. Ft*,
cents cotton prevailed until about *]
? at-.
time tiie lyzu crop was ripening un
the price flickered, and has continu<
to flicker until there is scarcely an;
thing at all offered for it today. A
this flickering came about in the fa
of a persistent and tireless endeavi
to get the fanners to hold their ^:o
ton for a price even above the for
cent point.
The County Record does not dee
it necessary to advise the fanners <
Williamsburg county to plant less co
ton this spring. We believe them
be fairly intelligent men, and feel sa
isfled that they will reduce their c
ton acreage without being urged
do so. But should they not redu
the acreage and plant the usual cro
a lack of fertilizer will cause the r
duction if the bool weevil should fa
I. A DEAD PROPAGANDA
The famous "hold your cottoi
propaganda which was rampant du
ing last summer and early fall h
somewhat died out, and we are i
dined to believe that the farme
i : would be a great deal better off t
day had such a propaganda never be
put out. The promoters of the di
asterous publidty were apparent
never satisfied. When cotton mig
have been disposed of at 30c they a
vised holding for 35c, then for for
cents and finally had a lot of farme
believing that the proper thing to <
k was to hold their cotton for 50c
60c the pound, just as if there we
to be no end to the wild and reckle
advances that were brought about 1
the world war without a basis of re
eon, but neither as a matter of conr
I in the great profiteering scheme th
I has about run its length, and left po
erty in its wake.
It will be a long time before t1
v farmers of the cctton belt will agair
* enjoy forty cent prices for their cot
ten, or even twenty-five cents. Th<
war is over. A tremendous crop i:
?| still on hand, mostly in warehouses a
~ an expense that is eating it up
Things are coming back to normalcy
50 to nearly pre-war conditions, and ther<
75 is no way to stop the trend. The onh
50 feasible and proper thing to do a;
we see it, is to get rid of the cottor
5? on hand as soon as there is a markel
ct open to it at a price equal to tha<
of prevailing in 1913. Of course thi.>
is, would cause considerable loss, but w?
have all got to take a loss and thf
sooner we do it and get a new, fres!

The Lane School
? Mr. Editor:
there has been a great deal said
lately through your paper and else
? where against the Lane school, I
IV would like to say a few words in behalf
of the school, that we have a
strong faculty and under the leader
ship of Prof. Kirkley, who is one of
the best principals we have ever ha 1.
s" I feel sure tLe work done here will
compare very favorably with that of
^ any five teacher school in the county,
s* and if Mr. Taxpayer or anyone else
ie that thinks otherwise will come and
s* spend awhile in the .uchool so as to
k be able to get first hand information,
le t +ii;nir tVa - ttipv will find that I am
X IJUJIA M*W?
at correct.
'* I also understand that there was
12 a delegation from Lane over to see
1(* our Superintendent of Education a
u'" few days ago to find out what dis
ie position was being made of the mon
^ ey collected ifrom the music department
in the school. Now I wish to
ie say to these gentlemen that We have
w a hightoned lady in charge of this deel
partment and that she has always
'e turned in the money as fast as colm
lected and I am in a position to shov;
^ where every cent of it has been placed,
and have always been glad to
Jr furnish this information to any one
who was interested in the school,

Rhems, March 3.?One of the most
or enjoyable occassions of the seasor
was the Reciprocity meeting of the
th Rome Book club which was held at
the lovely home of Mrs. L. F. Rhenr
of Morrisville on Wednesday afternoon,
March 2nd. Mrs. Rhem's spacious
home was made even more beautiful
at this time by masses of violets
e- and hyacinths which adorned the rese
ception rooms.
?g The meeting was called to order by
? - * * a ir_
le the president at 3:3u o'ciock. as me
?d roll was called each member respond*
r. ed with a national current event. Aff
ter the minutes of the last meeting
re were read and approved, the presi ir
dent introduced Mrs. J. W. Doar, oi
17 Georgetown, who had been invited tc
le address the club. Mrs. Doar spoke
?n interestingly of the work and plan:
?d of the various organizations of womer
y. in this state. Special emphasis was
J1 placed upon the educational work the
ce clubs are doing and the fact was notor
ed that three colleges of the state
t- (Winthrop, Converse, and the Univerty
sity of South Carolina) are studying
the course in citizenship which .the
m Rome Book club has adopted. After
0f Mrs. Doar% talk was concluded, Mrs:
,t- Rhem rendered a beautiful vocal sole
to which was appreciated by all present
t- Mrs. Eaddy of Johnsonville was nexl
0t introduced to the meeting. Mrs. Eadt0
dy's message was one of encouragece
ment and commendation for the work
p> this club is doing. The vital part oi
e. her talk was of child welfare and ol
j] ways and means to improve the conditions
under which children grow up
in South Carolina. By a rising vote
of thanks the club unanimously expressed
its appreciation of these twe
excellent talks. Mrs. *W. C. Rollin:

ss Play Party.
by A. Play Party was given at Cena
tral school house last Friday nighl
9e under the direction of Miss Hatti(
at McMurray, the Demonstration agent
v- and Miss Daisy Varn, the Red Cross
secretary.
he There were about seventy-five per
i sons present, big folk.- r-.id 'P
- folks, and little folks. And a nicer |
j crowd there never was. Every one ?
= entered into the spirit of the thing f>
[ and played beautifully. The big folks P
. forgot their dignity and were just fR
. as frolicsome as the little folks. jj|
? Play is a wonderful thing. It ||
,* makes one forget his troubles and ^
; forget that he is growing old. Parti- i
cularly in these hard times is it de- J
I sirable that we should forget our |
I worries for a few minutes and get a j|
< little pleasure out of life. The end a
; of the world has not come yet and ^
; may be just as far off as ever. So =
i why go around with a long face? B
I Besides putting a little variety in
life these Play Parties foster a get- |
> together spirit, and no one can deny a
, that this is a very much needed and g
: very useful thing. By getting to- =
gether for jfreasure we may get into P
the habit of working together for the P
, great things of life. I
Miss McMurrav and Miss Yarn were B
t asked to come to Cedar Swamp, Fri- I
day night, March 11, and give a Play I
Party there. This invitation was I
gladly accepted and is extended to J
all the people of that community.
The games will stait at seven, p. m.
It is hoped that these parties can be
(given in several of the communities
<K-er the county. Any of the
schools wishing to have one will
please communicate with either of
the above named persons.
