The 0'Neall schaol district in No.
9 township will ltolt an election in
few days on the question of estab-
fishing high school. That is the on
~ question to bc submitted to the
voters of the district in this election.
To find out if the people desire the
establishment Of high school. This
election does not carry with it the
voting Of any tax whatever. The
election will be held on Friday of this
week. If Il high school can be cstab-
hShed without voting an additional
tax thc7r should be no op-
position because the effort is
to improve the school, What
of any community should have the
hearty support and endorsement Of
every citizen of tI, community. If
this can be done without additional
cost so much the better. This seems
to be the purpose of the O Neal com
munilv.

Headache Helps.

When feel headache coming on,
says writer in the April Designer.
I look around for the cause. Usually
I loosen my hair. It is not generally
known that hair done up tightly and
pinned close to the head will cause
headache. Try letting the hair fall
loose, or braid or pin it loosely in a
different style. Sometimes it is
my collar which is too tight, and
when I take it off my headache dis
appears. Again it is caused by tight
or uncomfortable shoes, or by hign-
healed shoes, which may feel comfort
able but which will cause the trouble.

~ statement which appeared in
the Augusta Chronicle Of Sunday, in
an article from Mr.. George Nrcs, is
no doubt true of South Carolina in
the same proportion. lie states that
one mllli"n pounds OF fresh meat are
shipped into Georgia each week. This
does not include the cured meats and
lard. which are shipped from out the
State. The point is that the farmers
IN Georgia, and South Carolina as
well. should devote more of their time
and energy To live stock raising. Mr..
Nccs says: "Thcrc is no industry of
such Importance that has been so neg
lc"trd in the South as that of rails
my beer cattle and other live stock. -
when we neglect this industry we are
letting go to waste that which will
make the State rich. Commercial
fertilizers are only temporary stimu-
lantS. They do not enrich the soil
IN permanent manner. The richest
soils I'll rartl, are kept rich by the live
stock industry.'

Restions for the benefit of the far

Tor the contest, has about $4,000

just think for moment you can
clearly sec that the chances are good
for at least $4,000 ears of corn, which
will shell out over a hundred BUSH

this little article, SO universal in it's ap-
plication, so Indispensable in its utility,
the average person knows nothing what
ever. But rarely does one ever think of
asking, What becomes of the pins?'
1t is estimated that it requires an aver
age of more than twenty million pins per
day to sustain the falling skirts, replace
the missing suspender buttons and meet
the other needs of the American people.
What becomes of all these pins is ques-
ton that nobody has been able to answer.
There is no falling off in the demand, SO
this number of pins must disappear in
some manner every day.
The question as to what becomes of the
pins Is by no means an idle one. If one
could get at the statistics Of pips, he
would have tremendous revelations. The
loss in pins, strayed, stolen and mislaid.
is past all calculation. Millions Of bill
