( But we must guard ourselves againt any sort of aggression which would be unworthy of America. We are ready to tight for bur rights when those lights of meji are coincident with the rights of man and humanity."

The president, said lie was for "universal voluntary training," but that "America does not wish anything but the compulsion of the spirit of America."

" Schools Share In State Fun< 1 Columbia.?At the first meet iug of the state board of educa tion after the opening of tli scholastic year 1015-10 it wa seen that the high school apprc priation would fall not far fr >r $10,000 short of meeting the ap plications for state aid. Th board sent a notice to ever state-aided high school notify in it that it would probable be abl to get no high school money be yond what is known as the ini tial appropriation?that is, limit of $500 for anv hior li anli Ar . ...p,.. uw.wv with two or more teachers and limit of $800 for a high echoc with fewer than two teacher? At the May meeting of the stat board of education it was foun that a few hundred dollars wa uuappropi iated and the boar directed that this small residu be distributed as equally as pos sibile among the most deservini schools. ^ The final apportionments havi been made and sent out to th county treasurers. First, all higl schools with one full high schoo teacher, as much half the tinn of a second high school teacher. r The following schools wer< given an additiol $25 each for i high school en roll ----- ? viatii vil V U L V?V t" *20 pupils from outside the loca district: Chesterfield. Winsboro Greer, Mullins, Prosperity, Sen j eca, Holly Hill, Central, Pick ens, Johnston and York. Chesterfield was given an ad ditiotial $25 for lengthening tin school year two weeks. Page land was given $(50 additiona fur lengthening the school yeai one months. At the recent session of tin general assembly the higl school law was changed in sever al particulars. Beginning wit! the session 1910-17 a school it order to he a high school wit I state aid must employ as manj as live teachers, two in the higl department and as many a: three in the elementary depart , ment, and enroll not fewer thai 25 high school pupils. Schoos not able to meet these requir J ments will be transferred to tin rural graded class. The new high school law also requires i local school tax of at leastL. mills for running expenses. This requirement is the same as re quired for rural graded schoo aid. The lav further provide; for the encouragement <>l" higl school pupils in small schools t< he taken by the larger and bet ter equipped nigh schools free ol tuition. "The cardinal purpose of the new luw is to provide better facilities for country districts by , encouraging small schools to give their leaching tune to the elementary grades instead of making a vain ?ll'ort to support high school grades with totally inad< quate facilities," said .J.

C.,?The Irish potato is one of the most important truck crops of the South, yet, it is a crop that is grown to a limkcd extent by the people of our State. The farmers do not produce enough for their own use di ring the winter months. During the last few years, we huve tested a large number of varieties at this Station, the idea being to find a variety especially adapted for planting in mid-summer, or as a second crop. The trouble with most varieties >s that they fail to sprout when planted in the summer, and therefore, the stand of plants is very poor, and the yield neccesi-arily unsatisfactory. We have l H.~ I --1 ^ *' wuiki Mini i in- ijuhkoui mountain potato will produce better when planted in mid-summer than when planted in the spring. The tubers will keep from November until the following August in perfect condition. 11 "hi? variety proves to be well adaptc d to the Eastern part of our Stat", it seems to me that it will practically revolutionize potato growing in this State. The potato can be grown as cheaply in this State as any where else, and the fact that two crops may be grown on the same land in nine months, makes this vegetable of enpecial itnprotance. A spring crop may be grown and shipped to the Eastern Markets. Another crop may be planted on this same land, an 1 the tubers harvested in November for market during the v. inter months. The strong rw>i'ii? i.f ,l-i r - ... ><ti injf an; mat )"> per cent of the tubers planted in July and August will proluce strong plants, and it keeps better that; any variety 1 have jver grown.
