A few years ago the schools in the
Ozark district Of Arkansas were few and
far between. These schools were taught
four or five months year and the cur
riculum was OF the simplest. A teacher
now living in St. Paul, Ark, tells this
story to illustrate what higher education
meant to the people there:
She was approached one morning by
young man of the neighborhood, who
asked:
"Do you teach the higher branches ?
wish to take up some Of them"
The teacher, young woman, was
somewhat afraid of her ability to teach
academic courses, but asked:
"What studies are you thinking OF
taking up?"
81 wish," said the young man, "to
take up the fourth reader and geography" D."

THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

The following taken from The
Charlottesville (Va.) Progress, ex-
pressed well the attitude which a
community should assume toward it's
local newspaper:
"The efficiency and usefulness of
a local newspaper must depend large
ly upon the aid and support of the
community in which it Is published.
1T cannot rise above the level es-
tablished for it by the patronage it
receives, and long survive. 1t is
very seldom the case, therefore, that
the local newspaper is not fair ex-
ponent of the growth of the locality
which it represents. The very fact
that more money is Annually sunk in
newspaper ventures than in possibly
any other business undertaking, is
due in large measure, to the over
aealousness of their owners to make
them rather than 10 a failure to meas
ure up fully to the opportunities of
their respective environments.
"Since the whole community is in
terested in the character and quality
of it's local newspaper, it should be-
come a matter of pride and duty to
the members Of such community to
paper reflect a high order OF local
public enterprise.
GAS long as there are business Den
who give little or no support to their
local newspaper they have no right to
cTiticise its failure to be better. AS
long as its readers withhold news
which would be of interest to their
community, and which the local pa
per would be only too glad to pub
lish, they have no right to complain
Of the lack of its local news.
''It is unfortunately too often the
case, that those who criticise local
conditions, contribute nothing in the
way of personal effort or sacrifice to
better such conditions, being content
tc pursue a course which renders still
harder of accomplishment the very
ends they apparently desire to have
accomplished.
THE question for each knocker' to
answer is what am / doing to make
possible the improvement OF my local
paper and the conditions of the com
munity In which L liver"

HELPS LANCASTER
SHERIFF GET TAXES
Comptroller Jones Requests Attorney
General to Apply for Order
From Federal Court.

Columbia Special to Charlotte OBJ
server, Nov. 1.-Comptroller General
Jones has written John P. Hunter,
sheriff of Lancaster county, with ref
erence to the resolution adopted by
the sinking fund commission in the
Central Railway case. The Central
Railway, which runs five and half
miles in Lancaster county, was in ar
rears for the state and county taxes
for 1912 amounting to approximately
500. A receiver was appointed by
the United States court, but later the
property was bid in by the county
auditor for taxes on behalf of the
sinking fund commission. The
sheriff sold the property, but the con-
tveyance has not yet been executed.
At recent meeting of the sinking
fund commission, Comptroller Gen
eral Jones presented resolution
which was adopted to the effect that,
inasmuch as the property had been
bid in by the county auditor for taxes
on behalf of the sinking fund COM
mission, for state and county taxes,
and the sheriff had sold it but not yet
conveyed it and, whereas the railway
was in the hands of a receiver APP
pointed by the United States court at
the time, was authorized to set aside
the sale made without notice to the
sinking fund commission.
The attorney general was request
ed by the resolution to appeal in the
United States court and apply for an
order directing the receiver to pay
the amount of taxes or take some
other step that would bring about
the collection of the taxes.
The letter TO Sheriff Hunter was
written, states Mr.. Jones, "to protect
you against proceedings in United
States court for interference with
property in the hands OF its receiver" "
Sheriff Hunter is notified by the
comptroller that the sale has been
cancelled and TO apply to the receiver
for the taxes. If they are not paid
then according to the resolution, the
sheriff will apply to the attorney gen
eral and the proceedings in the court
will likely follow.

500 ACRES AT $500 PER ACRE

Known as the Jordan farm. It is
nine miles southeast OF Kershaw, IL
miles northeast OF Camden and 4 II
miles east OF Westville, S. G.. 900
acres are in cultivation, producing
from l to l u bales of cotton per
acre, so bushels Of corn to the acre.
The land is of sandy soil, having a
clay sub-soil and level, making 1t
easy to cultivate. There are about
10000 feet of long leaf timber. A
saw mill and gin outfit is In good
working order, having been used
about 1 year, which cost more than
$4,000.
Seven 4-room dwellings and 5
barns with some other buildings, all
OF which are only about a year old.
School and churches are near. Just
think of it, land that does not pro-
duce any better than this and To-
Gated the same distance from town
in other sections of the State sell for
not less than $50 per acre. This
farm has at least $4,000 in improve
ments, with a good gin stand, but
due to the fact that the owner has to
leave the farm has offered to sacrifice
1t at SIS per acre. Terms one-half
cash, balence easy.
