that cotton in this form was worth SO q

"Aftor two years experience with the

tivoly state that my experience is that it
can be sampled equally rs woll as the

that it unwinds to tho core perfectly,
and saves much labor in tho opening

THE SUMMER SCHOOL.

Every teacher in tho county should
attend the summon school. Trustees
and patrons should not only allow, but
urge, and, If necessary, pay and compel
their teachers to attond and put in four
weeks of honest study and attention, 80
that tho county may have bottor schools
than evor before. Every progressive,
wido-awako, earnest teacher who wants
to be tho best possible teacher will make
q sacrifice if necessary TO bo at tho school.
The State of South Carolina is doing for
its teachers this summer what no other
State in tho Union is doing or has over
dono. -Four weeks tuition by tho most
competont available instructors in this
and neighboring States is to DO
given in each of tho forty coun-
ties Of the State-givon free, for
these instructors do not cost tho coun-
tics cent, neither are thoy paid from
tho regular school fund. That our teach
ors nood instruction, no ono who is
familiar with tho papers given in at
county examinations for teachers can
dony. This is tho greatest effort that
has boon mado to give this instruction
whore it will do most good Tho schools
will soon be in session, the public money
will soon be spent, and if it is spent for
teachers who lack knowledge of subjects
and methods and cannot do good teach
ing it will not accomplish tho results
hoped for. Citizons and patrons will
find it much to their advantage to help
and encourage tho movement all they
can, as thoy will reap tho benefits directly.
