Won Greatest Number of Prizes
for Rural Schools In 1903.

Columbia, March 23:-The State
board of education, at its meeting
on Friday will take up the matter
of prizes for the rural schools.
Mr. Swearingen stated to-day that
at least $4,000 if not more, will be
offered this year. Last year 135
schools competed, and the year be-
fore SO were in the list.
The following announcement has
been issued:
There will be large number
of prizes offered this year by the
South Carolina School Improvement
association to the rural schools Of
the State making the most decided
material improvement during
given length of time. There W.
$4,000 offered in prizes last yea,
$4,000 given the year bet
About 225 schools entered the con-
test during those two years, and it
is estimated that improvements
made amounted to $250,000.
: 81 cannot say definitely, until
after the State board of education
meets how many prizes will be
offered this year. There will prob
ably be a greater number than ever
before. The number to be given
and regulations governing the con-
test will be decided upon at that
time.
1T is to be hoped each county
will have number of schools enter
the contest this year.
Last year Williamsburg county
won the greatest number of prizes.
Greenville and Newberry came next,
each winning the same number.

MAINLY ABOUT POLITICS.
Kind of Material Needed Tor
Office Holders.


Editor County Record
This being election year and now
within four or five months of our
primary, l want to give ny views IN
reference to how the people should
vote and whom we should vote for,
in view of the problems confronting
US at this time.
Now, brother farmer and laborer,
do you know that you have but little
voice in our present laws, more es-
pecially our national laws? Our gov
ernment is being taken control OF
day by day by the oppressive trusts;
our officials are being elected by the
masses OF the i pie and these ofic-
ers are being totally controlled by
capitalists and the trusts. Now,
what will be the outcome of this
within 10 years? 1t will be just as it
is to-day in the old country-our
sons and daughters will be renting
their homes from these same trusts.
They viii not be allowed to own
their homes, but be slave of the
trusts.
Now, let's come nearer home-to
our own State and county laws.
Threemembers of the Legislature and
one Senator are the most important
officers to concern us. What kind of
men shall we try to elect to these
important positions? Do we need
capitalist attorneys, smooth-tongued
professional men? No, / say, we
need the old true and tried farmer
and large taxpayer, the one who
produces the worlds supply of food
and pays the honest part OF taxa
ton. | mean no reflection on the
above-named men; they are good,
honest men, but they cannot legls-
late for our working people. Let
our good farmers of old Williams
burg county come out and offer for
those important Offices. Let men
pass a new tax law who return every
dollars worth of property they own
and at 100 per cent of its value, and
vote for men who will give their
word upon their honor that they will
see to it that our tax laws shall be
so revised that the burden of taxa
ton shall be equal to all men and
will vouch for the enactment of laws
that will benefit our people at large
and leave alone the poor, down-trod-
den game law and laws in reference
to wire fences on the public high
way. 1ae automobile is allowed by
law to ] IN on the road and cause
horses t run away without any pro-
lection of law; then put restriction
over the wire fence.
Now, Mr. Editor, in reference to
the deer Jaw, | would like our law
makers to explain this part of
that law: the act reads that
no female deer shall be chased
or killed at any time during
the year. How can hunter teach
his dogs that to chase a female deer
is ungallant while hunting? Also how
can the hunter himself distinguish
the difference in the sex with the
deer fifty yards away and then Oft
times running? When the female
deer is killed it will have to be
termed By thecourt lawful acci-
dent--"what say you, Mr. Deer
Hunter?
The writer has just made mention
of a few of these acts of the Legis-
lature to show our people how
worthless those laws will be to our
people at large. l don't know that
our delegation is to be blamed and
don't believe it is, and / believe our
delegation sees this matter just as
the writer does. SUBSCRIBER.
