According to the French inventor of
a machine to measure fatigue, 80 per

WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT ?

On the second page of this issue
we present to the readers of The
Courier a letter to a citizen Of
Greenwood county from a mar
prominently connected with the cdu-
ratiuuaj interests of the State Of
New York. this letter bearing upon
that JV" think) all-important prOpO-
yi,iOr, Of cOmpuI,U,. attendance at
school. Tho reply to Mr.. r'aNC in
a~i"r is significant, in that it ) Hut
one OF a number he has received,
each commencing highly the COM
UulSOrY education laws rs now of
force in other States, and setting
torth the many advantages to the
poor Deoplc especially in giving them
the mVanS Of an education.
w" may ScOT at the idea of COM
p%ulSory education, but it is one Of
TN" important things that must be
before W" OF the South awake fully
10 what it means to the masses of
Our citizens. Unfortunately for us,
the ones in our midst to be the most
benefited by such Il law are the ones
who oppose this great boon to the
poorer citizens Of our Commonwealth.
Nevertheless, compulsory educa-
zion is sure to come to South Caro-
}ina. The important question is, how
long are we going to do without it

Editor Keowee Courier: would
be very glad to offer the following
plan to protect our county from miss
ing a crop: Where your crop is up
keep on frequently c~ultivating it very
shallow. Many so-Called farmers are
doing deep blowing. This is con-
trary to the laws OF nature. You
are turning loose all the moisture
that o have when this is done.
Where cotton is not up TO a stand
peanuts eau be planted in the skins,
and where it is not up enough TO be
worth anything 1t will be a good
idea to plant to cOrn--say plant two
middl"s and skip one. | would ad-
wise planting a yellow variety of
corn. This will leave your rows
about 81 and 7 feet apart. If YOU
prefer YOU could plant every other
middle in peas. | would advise that
this be lone at once-this week if
possible. This will not interfere
with YOUR cotton crop. Should the
Lord bless us with a rain by the first
of next week. probably d great many
would leave their cotton rather than
the corn.
Now you could plant one middle
in corn and one in pea If you prefer.
But for instance if it should not rain
for a week or so and then set in wet
for two or three weeks, then YOU
see YOU would have the corr and
peas planted, and they would be
ready to work out when the weather
cleared; otherwise you would lose
your crop.
To all those interested in clover
and grasses | wish to say that will
be very glad 20 help or give any in
formation whatever that I can on
TINS very important demonstration.
IT there is any outbreak of hog
cnoicra' TICK fever or CHAMBERS,
please report it to me and will ask
aid from the Agricultural Dcpart-
ment, which will gladly give any in
formation that we want free Of
charge. NJ G. Holland
