' Wide Awake Clinton" is the tit

to The County Record to note th
the Tobacco Grading bill which
has advocated for years, has final
been enacted into a state law.
this had been done years ago tl
farmers in Williamsburg county wou
be much better off today, at least th<

custom for generations, while oi
people were content to put their crc

Among the 4,000 chickens, duck
geese, turkeys, pigeons ana pheasani
shown this year at the Madiso
Square Garden poultry sliow in Ne'
Yerk, the Herald of that city say
the outstanding feature is the firs
public view of the new fowl develope
at Belteville, Maryland, by Harr
L? non, the expert in charge of pou
trj development for the Departmer
of Agriculture. This type, which i
named Lamona in honor of the ma
who spent ten years in developing i
was envolvcd from blending chanu
teristics of the silver gray Dorkinj
x thu white Plymouth Rock and tl
wzgle comb white Leghorn. The ol
jeet sought was a white bird with re
ear lobes, yellow skin and legs, whic
should lay white eggs and have d<
sirsble qualities for the table. Ej
perts pronounce the new bird to l
a welcome accession to the poultr
world. Those who breed poultry f<
egg production will find types in tl
Federal exhibit that come from gei
emtions of birds which have bee
laying 200 or more eggs a year, whi
the finders whose object is the d<
velopmcnt of a meat producing fan
ily will see cockerels ten months ol
that weigh thirteen pounds and ha^
as much bone as a turkey.
A report on the result attained t
the entrants in the teachers examine
k
W tion held at the court house here in
^ October have just been made public c
and the names of the successful contestants
are published elsewhere in
this newspaper today. There were *
Y thirty white applicants who took the 1
examination and only three were suc>0
cessful, these being awarded third
grade certificates; forty-seven colored
j3 applicants took the same examination
and nine were successful, they like- 1
jf wise being awarded third grade cer- J
s, tificates. The above facts are an in- '
10 dictment against trie intelligence of 1
a our white students who enter competi- 1
- tive examinations for positions as 1
>n teachers and there must be a reason 1
is for it They have no right to aspire 1
a: to such positions unless they have 1
passed successfully through the high 1
school grades; if they have done this, i
and fail to pass for third grade cer- <
.jj tificate then there must be something 1
wrong with the kind of instruction *
r- given in the high school grades or 5?
fVtaif fao*Viorc 'navp rint hppn thorOUCh
r. in their work. This report is, ac- :
cording to our recollection consider- 1
ably belo^ that of the previous ex- :
-j amination held for Williamsburg coun- 1
J ty, but at that time there were more <
successful colored contestants than
~ there were white. Every one knows
" that the white student in this county
? has many and greater educational ?
le advantages than the negro student, !
)K and we are at a loss to underctand why
0f the negro, handicapped as he is with <
os regard to educational facilities as !
m compared with the white students, |
]y make so much better showing in a 1
il_ competitive examination where white !
n> and black fare alike. The County \
or Record does not give the names of 1
it these taking the examination last !
ig fall, who failed to win certificates,
oy the indictment against them, especial- '
ly the white students, is great enough !
without further cause for humiliation. ;
We do think it is high time for our
ig white girls and boys who aspire to !
r_ be teachers, to wake up, and for the ;
^ high school teachers who have these
aspirants under instruction to take
jg off the soft peddle and get down to
n0 brass tacks.

rle will put the machinery in motion,
id but it will take two or probably three
ed years to bring taxes back to the 1914
t>y level. Not only will appropriations
he be cut here and there, but some of
ip the burden will be shifted to other
es shoulders. A mild income tax law
at will be passed, there wilt be a tax on
r- gasoline and kerosine, luxuries and
p- amusements?such as soft drinks,
powders, perfumes, cigars and tobaccos,
horse races, moving picture shows,
>n theatres, etc.?will be taxed, and there
at may be an occupation tax which will
it reach every man earning from $500
ly per year upward. Heretofore real
If estate and personal property have
1C been carrying about 85 per cent of
Id the tax burden. The plar is to re?y
lieve real estate and personal propre
erty by raising revenue from other
s- sources. But you can depend on this
id general assembly doing something.

Lettuce is Safe.
The citizenry of Beaufort, "The
Lettuce City," says the the Charleston
News and Courier, is well pleased
vith the world in general today, for
hey have witnessed during the past
veek a triumph of the young lettuce
slants over the heavy fall of ice that
threatened to kill all green life.
During the two days that this section
was covered with a coat of ice,
the prospects of a good crop was
nost discouraging, but the sun dawn?d
today on a muddy sod beautified
jy the green of millions of vigorous
md healthy looking vegetables.
A. s&ular fall of ice has not been
seen in this community for many
years and it was fortunate, indeed,
that it came just at the time that the
young lettuce, for which. Beaufort is
famous, could best stand such conditions.

This is the time to sharpen
your pencil for some close figuring on any
building jobs ahead of you, new buildings or
repairs to old ones. The very first question that
will confront you will be?"What lumber shall
I use?" There's only one answer to that? CYPRESS
'THE WOOD ETERNAL"
-"OF COURSE." ^
For farm houses, barns, outhouses, fences, walks,
gallery supports, columns, rails, floors and steps, and
all uexposed-to-weather" uses, no other lumber gives
such ever-lasting satisfaction as Cypress, the "prized 9^1
wood of the Southland."
Here is something else to remember, too. 9H
For many uses the lower grades;will answer just as well
and save you some real money. Your lumber dealer will
know what your work calls for and will advise you to
"Buy the Grade That Fits the Job.9'
... y]
Write us for list of FREE PLANS for farm buildings ?but in
the meantime insist on "CYPRESS and no substitutes" from
your local lumber dealer ? no matter for what purpose you buy. f
