COUNTRY BOYS AID GIRLS,
Should be Given the Same Chance

Town Children Fave.
It is a remarkable fact that large
part OF the brain and Drawn has al
ways come from the rural districts OF
all countries. We might 60 down the
business streets Of any town in South
Carolina to- day and take an inventory
80 to speak, OF the men who are doing
the business, and we would find q large
part OF them we're reared In the coun.
try. We do rot write to make odioue
com parsons between the country
children and the town children, but
we wish to csll the attention of par.
ents in the country to the new order
OF things coming to pass.
We wish to ask fathers and moth
ers If it Is reasonable to suppose that
their boys and girls in the country
who only have an opportunity to cul.
ttvate and develop their minds from
three and one. half to four months in
the year will be able to stand up and
compete with and enter into life's
struggles with the boys and girls in the
towns who bave 8 months to improve
the mind and be trained tor LIES
work; to say nothing of the magazines
good literature and lectures to which
they have access. 1t is not reasonable
to suppose that children who have
practically the same natural ability
and have more than twice the oppor
tunities the others DO, will b. equal
when the contest comes.
Parents of the rural districts, youl
children ale as dear to you as any par
ents. Do you want them to be help.
less OF inferior In capscity to thet
fellows in the years to come? l an
sure no true parent does. But mark
tie prediction; unless the parents o1
the rural districts bestir themselves
and secure more Of the advantages fol
their children in the way OF eouca'
| ZION, the time will surely come whe1
those who have it not must serve.
This Is not 8 pleasant thought, but 1t
is as true as the Gospel itself. We dc

ALCOHOL FROM POTATOES.

New Industry Opening for the South
ern Oil Mills.
There was a meeting Of the cotton
seed oil mill men Of South Carolina
here Thursday that meaa much not
only for the oil mills but also for the
farmers. Those who have kept UP
with such matters will recall that sew.
eral weeks agoa chemist In Arkansas,
J. q. Spurlin, discovered that denat
ured alcohol could be extracted in
large quantities from the potato By
the use OF the present oil mill ma
chinery. The matter was noticed es.
pecially by the oil mill men and
Thursday at the meeting the whole
suggestion was gone over and It's
practicabillty discussed.
II the scheme is worked out sue
cessfuily it will be of mutual advan.
tage. The oil mills now shut down in
sunm and Just about the time the
potato crops are coming In. The
farmers often have to throw away
hundreds Of bushels of potatoes be
cause Of glut In the market or the
TACT that they have sprouted tco
soon. These could be sold to the oil
mills at slightly reduced prices and
used by them for making Of denatur-
ed alcohol.
The government now proposes to
remove the tax from this product and
to can then be produced very cheaply.
The fact that it will keep labor or
ganized during the entire year is also
il considerable advantage to the oil
mills. After much discussion 1t was
decided to obtain further information
about the project and then take some
definite action. The tax Is not re-
moved by the government until next
May.
The meeting OF the oil mill men
was primarily for the purpose OF ef
fecting an organization to be known
as the South Carolina Cotton Seed
Crushers' Association OF the same en-
terprises. There was very large at
