Ocsnson Poultry mail Points Out Op? portunity lu Poultry at Present Time. Clemson College. Oct. 3.?With a dearth of eaah on every hand, indi? cations are that the business of rais lag poultry will have more stimulus this fall and winter than for any time In years. The reason for this la that the poultry business is one of the Industries for Sooth Carolina, with good prices for eggs und poultry and ? mall expense for food. There is reason to believe thut the Industrious ben Is about to como Into her own In this State and that, once established1 aa a moneymaker on South Carolina farms, she will never be forsaken. F. C. Hare, poultry husbandman of Clemson College, urges the raising of poulLy now as a quick source of revenue. Hens, he states, will lay In this State all winter If fed an egg r.iush of cottonseed and grain. Their ?gga find read> sale anywhere and there Is no reason why the value of the Industry In this Stute cannot bo Increased to compare favorably with Its value In nearby States. "Our bans do not now produce suitlclent eggs for our own bibles," .1? cording to Mr. Hare, "but we ure ?mpelled to Import eggs from as r off as Kansas. North Carolina i.l Tennessee ahlp ua thousands of .sea All this, though we can have our poultry a revenue-maker for ?e farmer's family that does not de and time or muney from cotton, nek, or farm." Though It Is possible to obtain ofltable winter egg production from \y muture pullets and young hens oder favorable conditions, the two ~eeds selected by the poultry clubs ... South Carolina are the Barred Ply? mouth Hocks for meat and brown shelled eggs, and the Single Comb White Leghorns for white shelled eggs. By following directions which Clem? son College will gladly give to any who are Interested, it la a simple n.Ltter to have eggs to sell this win? ter, without materially increasing the expense of feeding the fi .Ms. After psylng for food, u breeder at Pros? perity, In Newberry county, made a1 ?tear profit of $258.75 from his hens' last winter simply by selling eggs ut market prlce-s. The rulalng of poultry la one of the practlcea which Clemson College Is endeavoring to have farmera car? ry out now In order that they may not only curry their families over this winter but may also have some ready money for the work of next spring. Any questions about any phase of the poultry business will be answered promptly by F. C. Hare, Poultry Hus? bandman, Clemson College. ? 0000 0000 000000 ? 0 ? ??BUY A BALE OF COTTON." 0 ? 0 ? 0000 0000 000000 llalph Hill has bought a bale of cot? ton from L. I?.

Detter From Prof. Hand to 11.fl Fel? low Workers. To the Kditor uf the News and Cou? rier: I am enclosing a copy of a cir? cular letter addressed to my fellow teachers throughout tho State. Should you have the space and you think it worth while, pleuse publish it. Very truly. w. II. Hand. Cdumbia, Sept. 21?, If] I. Dear Fellow Worker: The high schools throughout the State are about to enter upon their year's work. 1 hope for you the best of which you [are capable, the unstinted rapport <>f your patrons, the responsive efforts of your pupils, and the warm co? operation of your teachers. I would not presume to give advice, but I beg the privilege of offering you encour-1 moment and support in what you un. dertake. Here are a few things it might be well to keep in mind. 1. Befcre any succesful teaching can be done the teachsr must gst a piTsonal hold upon his pupils and his patrons. Wholesome companionship between teacher and pupil and re? spected friendship between teacher and patron foreshadow success. Strive J to know your pupls In their daily life, in their sports, and in their day dreams. You need to study, but you must n? - I e a hermit. I 2. Give your pupils plenty of work : and see that they do it, but do not overload them. A few subjects mas? tered are better than many subjects skimmed over. Five subjects are enough for any high school cluss. The i best schools are coining to regard j four major subjects enough. Skim-; ming over work is demoralizing. Some! of the subjects which seem to lend \ themselves especially to skimming arc history, literature, physical geography, and even Latin. Some teachers will tun through a book of the Gallic war in half the time it takes other teach-! crs, hut the latter will get twice as! much out of the book. Tarr's Phy- j sicul Geography has in it ample work1 for ten months with daily recitations, > yet a few teachers are unublo to lind ! enough in it for more than three' lecltations a week for nine months. Do not work for units. Twelve units kit a three-year course are enough. 3. Preserve a rational balance be-1 I tween the humanites and the sciences. Five or six recitations a day in the languages and hut one or two in the j sciences do not suggest a well-plan? ned course. Manual training is as nec? essary to a good education as mere academic training. This work is gradually growing in this State. 4. There are a few things every high school pupil ought to be able to j do: To spell decently the words mak-, ing his vocabulary, to write a legible ' hand, to read with some expression, to speak and write every-day English creditably, to make simple arithmet i? al calculations rcadiy and accurate? ly, and to have some knowledge of the history and geography of his country. L'ntl a pupil can do these things it seems unwise to put him to other tasks. 5. The school studies are Import" Mit, but thcro are more important things than these. Character build? ing comes llrst. Manly and womanly virtues come ahead of academic studies. Good citizens are needed more thun good scholars. Cordially, W. H. Hand. HAS TEXACO AGFNt Y. Sumter Motor Company to Handle Well known Line. Mr. U. T. Hubbard. of the Texas Company has been in Sumter the past few days perfecting arrangements with J. Hugh McCollum, manager of the Sumter Motor Company for hand? ling the famous ' Texaco'' line of gaso- j line, oils and greases. As is well known I this line of products stands well in the forefront in the gasoline, oil and grease supply market, and the Sum? ter Motor Company anticipate a suc? cessful career for the "Texaco"' agen< y.

Southern 1'nriners Advised to Trans, form Cotton Plantations into Ham-lies ami Cheaper Meat Will he Had. Florida Thnes-t'nion. In ls?i<> the South was as much of a cotton plantation as it is in 1914. hut at the call of necessity she made a quick change that amounted to a transformation! she red her armies. and from the fields untouched by the enemy she took a great surplus In I 1s ?. Once more the call has gone forth, and the same change can be made if she he wise. Cotton at 1? cents pays expenses, apd she can not hope to do better with it until she has onCC more a market in Europe? the war may endure for a year or two, but the recuperation of the indus? trial population cannot occur imme? diately; it will he live years before there can be a demand for cotton which took the crop of last year. Hut the South need not depend on one crop. Meat and bread arc want? ed now, and the lands of the South can give us Cheaper meat than those Of the West. In 1S?? the herds and flocke of the South were notable for both numbers and good condition; the! uld cotton tields would have continued j to serve as pastures, but for the fact' that an idle population of irrespon? sible new citizens were hungry enough! to dare tho shotgun for food, and conditions, legal and political, made it impossible to protect food in the open, waiting to be taken at night; | ilso, the phenomenal prices of cotton j raised hope that even casual labor! could be made profitable? Today cattle and sheep and hogs are reasonably safe, and the negro has very largely deserted the old black belts. The land is cheap and the climate is more favorable than that which threatened the western pastures with the necessity of feeding during the winter and the possibility of blliard weather for weeks. The unprofitable tields of CQjtton States can igaln be transformed into profitable, pastures, and the old plantation be? comes once more a stock farm pro- j rldcd due care and knowledge be en? listed in the change. Our European j cotton market has failed, but ourj meat market is at the door?the South j ll no longer divided into neighbor. , hoods by lack of transportation facili-J lies:. Instead of begging private capital}, and the public treasury to help us in the buSinOClC of growing cotton, why not transform the plantations into ranches and go to foddering the cows? The man who can grow two bales of cotton can care for a herd of cattle With less work and more profit, pro-1 Vldcd order and law has been now so well established that the laborer thrown out (,f employment can be made to respect the property of an-J other. The South can escape the shame of begging others for help if! she will but avail herself of the ad-1 vantages offered her by nature, and j she needs no help except that she1 should lind at home In her lands, her climate and her people.

Isadore Sulzbacher, whose resignation became effective to? day, I Mr. Johnston* will not assume tin duties of the oilice before October that date being the end of the city council's fiscal month. Upon the selection of Mr. Johnston, the city council was Indeed fortunate in being able to choose so efficient and business-like man for the place, for as it is, taking Mr. Bulbacher's place, on the board, he will asume charge of the streets and other Important council positions. Mr- Johnston Is a civil engineer and had charge for the city of the build? ing of the Florence sewerage sys? tem and he is well up on that job. He was directing engineer In the con-l struction of water, sewer and lighting systems for several towns in Carolina, to wit: Walterboro, Tlmmonsvllle, st. Matthews, Kingstree, Florence and Other points and will be "on the job" , all the while. Itcsolutions of regret at the res. ignation of Mr. Sulsbacher were; adopted today upon council accepting his resignation. A strenuous effort was made by numerous citizens of Florence, to have Mr. Sulzbacher recall his resigna? tion and continue as commissioner, but his action was Anal, and he leaves the work to the regret by all of our people.
