Editor County Record: There is always a way out for those who try hard enough. When we recall to -our minds the very serious conditions that existed in sections of Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and other states, when the effects of the boll weevil was at its worst and then compare those times and conditions with the conditions existing here today, we find that our conditions are not as serious as other sections that depended entirely on cotton. We also recall how other sections got bacJc .on weir ieei, anu uusct?c how rapidly they came into their own by working, planning, and following the ways and means of making a living by growing crops other than cotton and we see them today enjoying more and better prosperity than ever before. These thoughts should offer each of us a great deal of encouragement and inducement to put forth our very best efforts in mapping out a definite plan with the thought in view of planting crops other than cotton, that will insure the making of a better living as well as more money. With our soil and climate we have every advantage over the other sections for the reason we can grow almost anything. We have better ways and means of marketing. If we will study the situation carefully we can profit by the mistakes that others have made in charging from cotton to other crops, we aiso nave agricultural colleges and individuals of broad practical experience to guide us along safe -lines. With the opportunities and prospects afforded us we should not permit ourselves to become disheartened or discouraged but should press forward with a determination to improve our condition. We must accept the fact that cotton cannot be successfully grown on a large scale, in this section, for some time to come. We can and must grow small areas of cotton and tobacco together with such farm products on our own farm as we need to live on. We must discontinue buying corn, oats, hay, meat, meal, grits, tomatoes and various other necessities which can be grown at home. To follow the usual custom of buying these necessities is not successful farming; will eventually bankrupt the farmer who tries it as well as the community. Some of the leading business men and farmers of this section are making a study of the kinds of truck and other farm products that can be most successfullygrown and marketed here as a money crop, with the idea in view of mapping out a definite plan and using the Andrews Truck Growers Association, which was organized here in August in carrying these plans to a successful conclusion. We believe that in a short time we will see this section in a more prosperous condition than ever before. The sooner we quit depending on cotton; the sooner we begin growing what we need at home; the sooner we begin the diversifying of our crops the sooner we begin depending on means of making a living other than growing cotton; the soefner we will see these prosperous times. Yours very truly, D. L. MOYD. Character First; Assets Second Ay This is the rule by which the late J. Pierpont Morgan judged the man behind a business proposition. Reputation is often manufactured propaganda. Character is not. If a man is worth millions, and if that is all he is worth, he is the kind of man ^Morgan did not want. Build up a real character of your own. Emulate, but do not imitate, others. It takes real character to buy stocks | when they are on the bargain list and nobody wants them. But if you do, the day will come when everybody wants them at your price, advises Sugarman's Indicator. ' TEACHERS* EXAMINATION _____ To Be Held at Kingstree Friday October 7th and Saturday, October 8th. The County Superintendent of Edu! cation, member of the County Board of Education or other person conducti ing the examination is requested to read this to the assembled applicants at the opening of the examination. At the outset each applicant should be directed to supply fully and accurately every item of Information called for on his or her individual en-. velope. Questions should not be furnished to any but bona fide applicants who have supplied these preliminary, data and who have declared their intention to take the examination. ; Applicants may stand for a primary certificate, first, second or third grade; a general elementary certificate, first, second or third grade; a high school certificate, first grade only. It will be impossible for any applicant to take rriore than one examination successfully. Any attempt to double j work and thereby cover. two groups : of questions is sure to result in failure. The primary examination covers twelve subjects: Friday forenoon?English grammar and language, 1 hour, arithmetic, , 1 hour, playground and community activities, 1 hour. Friday afternoon?History, South Carolina, United States, and general, 1 hour, geography, 1 hcui, civics and current events, 1 hour. Saturday forenoon?Literature, 1 hour, pedagogy, 1 hour, health, 1 hour. i Saturday afternoon?Nature study, 11 hour, school law, 1 hour, manual training and writing, 1 hour. Any primary certificate wilL entitle the holder to teach in the first five! grades. The general elementary examination covers twelve subjects: Friday forenoon?English Grammar and Composition, Arithmetic. Friday afternoon?History, United States and South Carolina, Geography, civics and current events, spelling. Saturday forenoon?Reacting, including literature, pedagogy, nature study and elementary agriculture. Saturday afternoon?

The high school examination covers twelve subjects, with options in | science and in foreign language: Friday forenoon?Grammatical a-1 nalysis and composition, literature, principles of teaching.

Saturday forenoon?Arithmetic, algebra, geometry. Saturday afternoon?Foreign language (one required) Latin, French,; Spanish, German; ancient and modern history, school law. The subjects should be given in order listed and the time allowed for each subject should be carefully observed. Three hours' continuous work at a sitting has been deemed sufficient. The examination, therefore, -will cover two days, with forenoon and afternoon tests each day. It is recommended that one hour and thirty minutes be I ..AaJ flirt .1 rtrtrt >*o ".(1 c r* I uacu lvx me tivvi* ivwuk/t Applicants should not be permitted i to leave the room while the examina- j tion is in progress. Under no circumstances should questions of any kind be furnished any one except applicants. Permission to leave the room I should be given only after all papers! have been handed in. A uniform percentage basis gov-1 eras the graduation of all certificates in all three groups. A general average of 85 per cent with not less than 60 in any one subject entitles the applicant to a first grade certificate; a general average of 75 with not less than 55 in any one subject entitles the applicant to a second grade certificate; a general average of 65 with not less than 50 in any one subject entitles the applicant to a third grade certificate. Each applicant is responsible for1 his or her individual envelope and its contents. When the examination on any one subject is completed, all papers on this subject should be neatly folded together, marked on the back with the applicant's name and the subject and placed in the envelope before work in the next subject is begun. The work of the graders will be facilitated if each page is also marked with the same of both the applicant and the subject. At the close of the first day the applicant should seal his or her envelope. and give it to the County Superintendent, who then becomes responsible for it. A second envelope should be handed each applicant on the morning of the second toyApplicants are expected to furnish paper and writing materials. The County Superintendent is responsible for assembling, wrapping and prompt MOTHER'S CLUB MEET. \ i Opening of a Kindergarten was Cheif s topic for Consideration. * < The Mother's Club held its regularj1 September meeting with Mrs. Lute 1 Burgess on Friday afternoon, with Mrs. Robt. Godwin as assistant host- t ess. Probably on account of the heat 1 there were not as many members J present as had been hoped for, but { about a dozen mothers took part in ( the meeting, which was presided over ^ by the president, Mrs. L. A. VanKeu- 1 ren. j1 The minutes of the August meeting: were read by Mrs. Louis Gilland, who 1 had been elected secretary to fill the ( unexpired term of Mrs. Virgil Kinder. 11 * '1.1 'I -A -1- - 1J ' I Mrs. tiiuana staiea inai sue cuuiu nui j accept the office of secretary, and 1 Mrs. J. H. Epps was unanimously < elected in her pi^ce. The president called on Mrs. Clarence Alsbrook for a report of the committee, of which she was chairman, appointed to look into the matter of securing a public meeting place, as 1 the membership of the club has grown I: to such proportions as to make it im-1 ] possible for many homes to accoyio- ] date them. Mrs. Alsbrook announced (< that the committee had interviewed 11 the local post of American Legion as' < to the possibility of the Mother's Club < securing the Legion rooms, ove: the' i Wee Nee bank, in which to meet. The officers in charge had been most| courteous in their willingness to let their rooms be used for the purpose, and much appreciation was expressed j by the ladies for this kindness. At i the same time there seemed a senti- 1 ment in favor of keeping the meetings in private homes if possible, and it was voted so to do for the present, with the understanding that if with * '' ? ? ImtAVVtA J cooler weauier me aucnuantc ucuum. considerably increased the Club will avail itself of this kind offer. The president called for a report < from the committee appointed to endeavor to secure moving pictures es- ! pecially adapted for children on Friday nights. Unfortunately this com- < r.. tee was not represented, though it was understood that they had been ! at work on the responsibility allotted , them. 1 The kindegarten committee was next called on, and a report was made ' by Mrs. J. D. Britton, in the absence , of the chairman, Mrs. E. T. Kelley. ' The committe has been hard at work, as was shown in their report. They ' had endeavored to secure the services ] of Mrs. L. C. Dove as*teacher of the kindergarten, as Mrs. Dove is a Graduate kindergarten teacher and has had J -1-1 fha irftrlr I consiuerauie cAj?;uun.t u ui& .. However it was impossible for her to accept the position for the present, and the joint services of Mrs. J. W. Swittenberg and Mrs. Lois W. Gilland' has been secured to start the kindergarten, with the hope that Mrs. Dove may be able to undertake it after ' Christmas. Mrs. Swittenberg has ( kindly offered a vacant room in her < home to be used for the purpose, rent ' free, with the understanding that the 1 Club equip the l-oom with necessary j furnishings, and pay for coal and up- ' keep. Only twenty-five children can be accomodated in the kindergarten and the committee reported that that. number had already been secured. It i was decided to form a waiting list, so'' that if any pupils drop out during the J season, others can be taken in. The , small sum of $2.50 monthly win De i charged each child, and each one is requested to bring his or her own chair, so as to avoid all possible- ini- j tial expense. The salary offered to 1 Mrs. Dove was $50.00, and this ; amount will be divided between Mrs. ' Swittenberg and Mrs. Gilland, who ] are giving their time and services i from interest in the project rather 1 than from any hope of acquiring ( wealth thereby. The kindergarten \ will be opened October 3rd, and will run from 9:30 till*twelve, five days j out of the week. The hour was set . later than the regular school time in < order to give the mothers time to get ? the older children off before attending J to the little ones. Mrs. Kelley has ; offered the sen-ices of her car every ( morning to pick up all the kiaderga- J teners in her part of town wh ) have * no other way of making the trip. It is hoped that other car owners will ( be equally public spirited so that all 1 the kiddies who live at a distance will * be looked after. It was decided that patrons be requested to pay the monthly fee in advance, as there will be considerable outlay necessary to < start the kindergarten end the club is entirely without funds. 1 A motion was made by Mrs. Swittenberg to arrange a tenative book, t AQrtV morriKnr Will la OW ill 1 ov mat cava tuvtuw. - advance when she will be expected to c take part. The programme commit- r tee will be expected to furnish or be z responsible for the programme each j month. This motion was adopted I and the president stated that the year ^ y ly forwarding all papers from his t county. * Rules and regulations prescribed * by the State Board of Education. Re- c suits of the examination to be determined by the State Bureau of t Examiners. c >ook would be submitted at the next nseting. For the October meeting ;he appointed Mesdames Swittenberg, Boddie and Godwin as the programme lommittee, Mesdames W. K. Mcintosh is hostesses, the meeting to be held it the home of Mrs. Mcintosh. On account of a misunderstanding, here was no regular paper for the ifternoon, but the story of Robin flood was read by Mrs J. D. Britton, ind a discission as to its merits as a classic for children followed. The fourteenth lesson as suggested in the printed leaflet used by the club will )e the topic for the October meeting. At the conclusion of the business neeting a social hour was enjoyed, luring which the hostess served de icious cream and caKe. mey were assisted by Mrs H. E.
