EDUCATIONAL AWAKENING.
Fourteen Districts Now Have Extra
Levy for School Purposes.

Several years ago, outside of
Kingstree and Lake City, very
few school districts of the coun-
tv levied a special tax supple
mentary to the constitutional
tax of three mills for school pur-
poses. But, as the appended
list will show, there has been a
great educational awakening
throughout the county, so that
now there are fourteen school
districts that have voted a spe-
cial tax.
This speaks we'll for our coun-
ty and what it means for com
ing generations it is impossible
to estimate.
At the present time, We are
informed, the amount de,
rived from tnis special tax in
the several school districts is
about $1,000. In a few years we
hope to see every district get in
line and vote this special tax.
Those districts now included in
the list are as follows.
No. 15-Lake City, 8 mills.
No. l6-Kingstree, 4 mills
No. le-Union, mill.
No. l9-Hebron, 2 mills.
No. 20-High Hill, 2 mills.
No. 21-Cameron, 2 mills.
No 22-Greelyville, 2 mills.
No. 23-Venters, IL mills.
No. 24-Wilson, 8 mills.
No. 25-Cades, 2 mills.
No. 26-Prospect, 4 mills.
No. 27-Heyward, 4 mills.
No. 2e-Cedar Swamp, 4 mills.
No. 29-Pergamos, 4 mills.

Do Not Forget This.

these meetings and make all local
arrangements to suit themselves,
and to meet the speakers at the rail-
road.
In our travels over the State the
cheering sight of the fin est corn crops
ever seen in the State greets the
traveller in nearly every section.
Fortified with the corn and feed
crops aud entrenc he'd behind oyer
one thousand cotton warehouses and
increasing our membership at an av-
erage Of more than three thousand
per day, the Farmers Union justly
feels proud of its grand success.

The Farmers Rally M-etin 6 of
Oconee county, South Carolina, to
come off at Oakwsy near Seneca on
the 2lst Of August, bids fair to be
the largest gathering of farmers in
that section in years.
The speaker on that occasion
will be fresh from the field and in
good shape to tell the people about
the grand campaign of the Farmers
Union sll over the South and especi-
ally about what has been done in
sopth Carolina and Georgia.
Two Of the worst enemies Of the
Farmers Union that We are now mp
toare the demsgogue in our ranks and
some inconsistent newspaper men on
the outside that are at it all the while
warning the Farmers Union of the
dangerous demagogue and at the
same time advocating the impor-
tation of low grade immigrants for
the use of cotton mills. Now it does
look like any man with even ordina-
~ intelligence should know that this
low grade Immigrant class OF people
are the very best supporters Of dema'
goguery on the face Of the earth
Hence we warn the Union against
the influence of either the demagogue
politician or these demagogue news.
paper men. One of these is as dan
gerous as the other is.
There is some significance about
this continual harping about the
afiliatlon of the Farmers Union
with the Federation of Labor and ths
