The schools belong to the people, and, without their cordiaV cooperatino, no school system will accomplish anything that is really worth while. ? The representatives of the people are the members of the City Board o?r Education. This is the govern ing body of the school system, and any Board of Education may, at any time, make or mar a school system. ! Sumter has always been peculiar ly fortunate in the men who have i constituted its Board of, Education, and never more fortunate than in the personnel of the present board. The secret ef the success of a Board of Education is the selec tion of the busiest men in the com munity. Men who are busy are al ways able to do other things and to do them well. There is a modern dictum which says, "If you wish anything done, go to a busy man." The present Board of Education is composed of: Dr. J. A. Mood, chairman; Mr. NeiU O'Donneil. Mr. Mitchell Levi. Mr. W. Percy Smith, Mr. Bartow Walsh, Mr. J. W. Brunson, secre tary and treasurer. ? ? o Tientsin, June 5.?All foreigners have been warned to leave Shan haikuan Chihli on the Manchurian border because of serious fighting it expected between the troops of Gen.

HUSBAND KILLER OTVierED Atlanta Woman Sent enced to Han g; Found Guilty of Murder Atlanta, June 3.?Mrs. Cora Lou Vinson was convicted by a jury in Superior Court here tonight of the murder of her husband. Dr. W. D. Vinson, and sentenced to be hang ed July 2S. The verdict without a reC?ra I mendation to mercy was more than even Solicitor General Boykin had I asked, as'he had urged-the jury to ' convict the woman and- fix her sen tence at life "imprisonment, saying I he had never asked that-a woman be hanged. Under Georgia law a nwrrder verdict without a recom mendation carries the death penalty I wiaeh the presiding judge formally jimpos?;s. "Mrs, Vinson shot her husband in a drug store here in March while ;divorce .proceedings were pending. ! Me had filed a petition for divorce, [claiming she had threatened to kill him, but she told-the jary she j thougfc.t he was about to shoot her 'when she fired. She was recently declared saner A . Mrs. Vinson heard ? the verdict calmly. and listened in silence to Ithe pronouncement of the* death f sentence. Her counsel filed notice of an appeal for a new trial. So licitor Boykin- declined to say whether he would oppose it. College Attendance The.Yalue of a College Educa tion. Will Ii Be Worth Your While to Go to College? Last year twenty-two boys'grad uated from the Sumter High school. Of that number; ? twenty two are attending" some recognized college. ? Many of the girls who graduated last'year are i* attend ance at college this term. ? These young men and women, so soon to become citizens of this great coun try of ours, will take their places in civil life, better equipped for their duties because of their college training. They wiU become better and more profitable citizens; and will occupy positions of prominence and importance "in this great "land of the free and home of the brave," as a result of that college training. -Shall' we, the class of 1922, because of a lack of ambi tion, or*'because times are hard; or for* any other reason, be forced to take inferior places in life for a lack of training? Shall we be con tent to plod along oh an ordinary salary"as a third'or "fourth rate business man, competing with the ordinary laboring man for our live lihood? Or, shall we make every effort possible to secure an educa jtion which will fit us for places in the world on an equal plane with those members of last year's class who are attending col'ege now? AH people everywhere, recognize the importance of a college education today. The college graduate is rec ognized in society, in business, in politics, in every sphere of life as a leader.- When applying for a business position, the college grad uate is given the preference- over some other less fortunate appli cant. A college education is very essential to a successful social life. A college education is essential to a successful professional* life. In most cases, a college education is essential to ? a successful political life. A college education is indis pensible to a successful business ca reen From a purely money-mak ing standpoint, a college education will pay large dividends on money so invested. The average four year college course costs from $1, 500 to $3,000, while, according to Dr. Skyes of Coker College, the returns annually from such an ed | ucatien will equal the interest on } W.OOO at 6 per cent, or about $3. J 600. These figure* prove, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that a col ; lege education does pay, and that tit will be more profitable in the j long run to invest in such a {course.- Therefore, we see the im l portance of a college education, j .Realizing these facts, a very j large per centage of our class has decided to attend college next term. Of the boys, there are j twenty who have made definite af j rangements to enter some recog nized college, among which are. University of Virginia, Davidson, Presbyterian College of South Car lina, Furman, Wofford. The Citadel; Annapolis Naval Academy, and others. There are eight others who have expressed a desire to go to college next term, but who have not been able, as yet, to make any arrangements. Since there ' are I thirty-three boys in our class, this makes approximately eighty-five per cent of them who will prob ably attend college next term. In the girls' class, the percentage is even hisrher, as girls somehow I always seem to get ahead of boys, i Thirty-one of Them have made : definite arrangements to go to col j lege, while nine more will probably I attend, if conditions permit. Some j of the schools selected by them are j Winthrop, Chicora, Coker, Agnes j Scott. Goucher, Greenville Wo j men's College, Columbia College, I and others. As they have forty ; three members of their class, this j makes about ninety-three per cent ! of the girls who will probably at i tend college next year, j We are proud of these facts, and ! feel sure you will pardon us if we i sound too egotistical when we say \ that we have high purposes and ambitions, and. with the aid of Divine Providence, will strive to realize them in our later lives.

E. Carrick, assistant physician at the prison, and Alex Aboof, proprietor of a downtown .cigar stand, on charges of con spiracy to smuggle drugs to the inmates. Dr. Carrick, whose home was said to. be in Birmingham, confessed late tonight, it was announced by Dis trict Attorney Hager, who ? also stated that the charges .against Aboof had been dropped, as there was no evidence' to connect him with the case. He was released. ?Tbe^unustfal procedure- followed a report made recently by Warden J. E. Dyche to Wasfcmgton that some of the six hundred inmates suspected of being addicted to the drug habit were getting quantities of narcotics. Reports that much of the information leading to the ar rests came from a woman were de nied . by the warden, ,who has been making efforts since he took office last summer to break up drug ped dling within the walls. . . "Men who smuggle drugs to these men .-in prison deserve the rope." Warden Dyche declared recently in an address to a local civic order in which he told of how many men convicted of peddling . drugs are' sent to the Atlanta federal peniten tiary where they are treated in the prison hospital. There are many other drugs users there besides those convicted of. selling the nar cotics the warden said. Numbers of prisoners were ques tioned by the federal agents and some ? were taken to the fed eral building for further examina tion. Dr. Carrick and Aloof were kept at the federal building until a late hour for questioning. A warrant against Dr. Carrick was sworn out and federal agents said they had obtained cancelled checks indicating that prisoners with funds had paid in that way for drugs. ? ? ? ? Be Prepared to Poison Boll Weevil at Right Time. ? "In time of peaces prepare for ?war" is a proverb more or less in disfavor in international negotia tions just now, but it still applies to fighting the cotton boll weevil, says the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Late poison ing is likely to hurt the farmer more than it hurts the weevil, and the only way to be sure of getting an "even break" with the weevil is to be supplied in advance with calcium arsenate and dusting ma chinery. "We find every year," says B. R. Coad, director of* the department's boll weevil laboratory, "that many farmers fail to realize their, danger early" enougrh and then start mak ing desperate efforts to poison af ter the infestation has become very heavy. They scurry around trying to get calcium arsenate and dust ing machinery, and nearly always there is considerable delay. Even when they get the poison and the machinery, it is extremely difficult to control weevil infestation after it becomes severe. There are so many weevil stages present in the squares and bolls that some of them come out every day and poi son must be kept constantly on the plants if any good is to be done by it. This very greatly increases the expense of poisoning. Then, if there comes-even a short spell of rainy weather, such control as has been gained is lost and the farmer j has gone to heavy expense for nothing. We advise all cotton planters to be extremely careful about starting late season poison ing. In a few cases, it has been successful, but at heavy cost and only under the most favorable con ditions. The only safe course is to be prepared to poison at the right time." Write the Delta Labora tory, Tallulah, Louisiana, for in structions "When and How to Poi son." ? m m Washington, June 5.?The Chil ean-Peruvian conference resumed sessions today after the Chilean delegation received further instruc tions from Santiago.

OUGHT "TO I HOW DO VOO I HEAR YOU play 1MB COf&iET" r-J J? 17 McCGLLWINS CHAMPIONSHIP High School Baseball Game at Florence Witnessed by 4,000 Florence, June 1.?For the sec ond year in succession McColl won the State high school champion ship of South Carolina'by defeat ing Six-Mile Academy here'this af ternoon before more than 3,000 spectators from every part of the state 4 to 2 in a spectacular game, despite interference from rain. Bern ice Thompson, the McColl wonder pitching ace, added to his already broadcasted reputation by fanning nineteen up-Staters and this, it must be remembered, with a ball -that was always wet er damp: He gave up five hits, while his mates garnered but six off of Nolan. Thompson's wonderful work in the box was the decisive fea ture of the afternoon. He did not walk a man. Catcher Gibson, of McColl, made twenty-two putouts. The rain* god frowned on the con test in the" first two innings of the game and play was: suspended for a short - time, and again in the last inning just as the last ball was pitched ending the. game, the shower c?me. ? The crowd', was not to" be baffled, however, and stuck it out until the last man was out It* W2.9 a good/ clean contest, play ed in a fast, snappy manner: Both teams "put up a great battle, the losers staging a'thrilling ninth-in ning rally, when Alexander hit safely and was ? brought nome by B. C. Edens' ringing double to right field. l Moving picture men were on the field photographing both teams, the spectators and the game, itself. . At 4 o'clock, exactly; W. It. Barringer, mayor of Florence and a candidate for congress from the Sixth district, hurled the first ball of the game to Base Umpire Bob bie Kern.. > It was three up and three down for the first two innings, while in the third Kurkeynoll opened with a long double to left, scoring later on Dalton's double to right. There was great enthusiasm among Six Mile supporters. In McCoirs- half of the third the Marlboro boys garnered three hits, which, along with a base on balls and a man hit by the pitcher, net ted them three runs.. McColl scored again in the sixth making it 4 to 1 up until Six-Mile's sensational rally'Of the ninth. Both teams showed some good infield work. B. C. Edens, McEl rath and Dalton played well for Six-Mile while Bivens; at short for McColl, was the afternoon's fea^ ture, making sensational stops and pegging true at all; times. Framer and Drewer also contributed field ling stunts. Nolan for Six-Mile was unsteady at times,- but pitched a remarkable game for a boy of only 16 years and his first season as a pitcher; The Six-Mile lad was hard to hit safely and had a side arm ball that looked good. Six^Mile' showed" a well: drilled team that fought hard to the last inning and showed'that it knew baseball. . ? ? BerniCe Thompson, the wonder boy, caused nineteen batters to miss the third strike^ and was hit in only two innings when- he was using a wet ball. The wonder boy was in great form and' deserves all that has been said about him. The Florence committee, consist ing of Dr. N. W. Hicks, chairman of the school ? board, and M. =C. Brunson, worked hard and faithful to put on the game in big style and well did they succeed, even though the weather menace had been disheartening. Supt. C&rwfle, of McColl, was the happiest man leaving the park after the game, as a State chamS pionship means that months and months of hard work are being re warded. It is possible that McColl may play the state champions of j North" Carolina, Clayton High school, for the championship of the two states; This game will probably be staged in one of the Pee Dee towns.- Box score: SIX-MILE.
