with laces aglow, betraying their
gratefulness for such an hour.
Prayer by the teacher was fol
lowed by readings, compositions,
and written lessons, by the pupils,
among them those who did not
know the alphabet two months
ago. A letter composed and writ
ten by one of these pupils, to Miss
Wil TLou Cray, State supervisor of j
adult schools. Columbia, S. C, tell
ing her of adult school work at
P.ritton, Sumter county, S. C, was I
read and deserves special men-!

After attendance buttons were
awarded to two. who had not miss
ed a night, for five nights in each
week, for two months, a delight
ful salad course, and coffee were
served to all present.
Many expressions of appreciation
were tendered the efficient teacher.
Mrs. David Britton. who with ub
tiring effort, labored to Organize
this school two months ago, and
began with an,enrollmenti<jf thir

' Mrs. 'Britton deserves much
credit in this noble work for her
faithfulness and patience with the
interest of each pupil at ' heart,
which was crowned- with,^ success.
We are sure those who went out !
from this school Friday night,
went prepared to be better men \

A Big Difference
A little girl had a dog, "Pad-j
die," to which she was greatly de- I
voted. One day the dog died and J
her mother hesitated to tell her,
<laughtcr the sad news, but finally i
mustered up enough courage.
"Helen, dear," she said, '"1 ami
awfully sorry to tell yon. but \
Paddie's dead."'
The little girl, went on playing i
as if nothing had happened or she
did not care.
An hour or two later she came
running into the House crying as :
if her ln-art would break, telling her
mother that Paddle was dead.
"Why. 1 told you that a good j
while ;,^o,-' her mother said.
"()h. I thought you said "Dad-j
dy's dead." replied the sobbinp:

Boll Weevil Approaches Limits of
Cotton Belt.
After thirty years of slow, per
sistent advance since its first ap
pearance in this country near the
j Mexican border, the boll weevil has
now reached"the limit of cotton cul
tivation, except in western Texas,
southwestern Oklahoma, northeast
ern North Carolina, and Virginia,
according to Department Circular
210, Dispersion of the Boll Weevil
in 1921. just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Each step of the spread has been
I against the stubborn, efforts of the
government, the states, and the in
dividual planters to hold ike pest
in check.
The mild winter of 1:120-21 and
the wet summer of LD21 favored
an abnormal multiplication of the
insect throughout the territory af
fected. Tn determining the extent
of its spread last year the search
over a great part of the territory
surveyed was for the last cotton
fields rather than for the weevil be
cause all fields were infested. It
?still remains to be seen, says the
circular, whether the weevil can
maintain existence in the extreme
portions of the cotton belt in which
it now finds itself.
For the first time the stares of)
Missouri and Kentucky were in
vaded by the weevil and all fields
in these states were found to he
infested. The gain west of the
Mississippi river is very nearly
eodal to that east of the river. The
greatest gain in any single state,
however, is 1">.7'>o square miles in
North Carolina. The circular < on- j
tains a map showing the spread i
of the pest each year since its dis
covery in lS?2 in the southernmost i
tip of Texas. Copies of the circu-j
lar may be had free upon applica
tion to the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, j

Association
Columbia, March 16.?Contracts
representing over 6,000 bales of
coiton were received today at the
offices of the South Carolina Cotton
Growers' Cooperative association.

in that county to fr,4SS and J. P.

county chairman.
Three counties, Marlboro. Dar
lington and Sumter, have already
signed considerably over 50,000
bales, one-eighth of the Quota for
the whole state, officials of the
stale association said last night. E.
W. Evans, county chairman for
Marlboro county, says he expects to
; sign 4<>,iM'ifi bales or one-tenth of
the state's quota in Marlboro coun
ty. If all other counties maintain
! the pace of these Pee Dee counties
j the state will go far beyond its
i quota.
"South Carolina farmers can
gain from $10 to $15 and more on
I each bale of cotton just as I have
; done in Texas." declares J. D.
Goghlan of Ennis. Texas, in a let
ter to R. C. Hamer, chairman of
the campaign committee of the
j association. Mr. Hamer is en
j deavorihg to have Mr. Goghlan,
\ who is a well known Texas farmer,
; come to South Carolina and tell
the farmers of this state in speeches
j just what the Texas association has
I already done for him. Mr. Goghlan
: grew more than 100 bales of cotton
I lasr year which he turned over to
the Texas association.
"Don't let any one tell you that
i the Texas association has not been
ja great success." says Mr. Goghlan
j in his letter. "It has done re
; markably well and will do even
belter next year because being
one of the first of the cotton co
operative selling associations to be
; gin functioning, it of course had
: problems to solve which the other
I states will not have to solve. TTn
; der our plan cotton is being sold
, at its' actual spinning value and
I is sold by the farmer himself. This
is a thing that has never happened
before in the history of the south."
\ The three members of the South
i Carolina delegation in the national
house of representatives who grow
! cotton have signed the contract, it
was annolunced yesterday. They
are H. P. Fulmer of Orangeburg,
W. F. Stevenson of Cheraw and

"Newfoundland has a geographi

(for it largely blocks the broad gulf
! into which the St. Lawrence RiVer
i widens, and which forms' Canada's
j front door from Europe. Mo're
j over Newfoundland is the closest

j "in late years mining, stock

j been developed in Newfoundland;
I but throughout its mere thany400
> years of history the central story
jot the island might be told in one
[word: fish. Boston and Massachu-s
j setts have felt deeply indebted to
! their 'sacred cod,' but after- ait
i thar important creature canie from
' the Newfoundland bank; and how*
j over valuable it has been to" New
! England, it has meant much more
j to Newfoundland and through
i Newfoundland to Great Britain.'
j "A good ease could even b?
j made for the cod as claimant for.
a place on the British coat-of-arms:
for that lowly fish in a way laid
the foundation of the world-wide
British Empire. Before the dis

which John Cabot's finding of the

"The next year after the d*is

i fishermen crossed the Atlantic and
returned loaded down with fish;
and from that time on for centuries
the annual crossing and recrosa

settlement of the island in order*to
perpetuate the fishing from a Brit

became a seafaring nation; the
