A CERTAIN INDICATION.

TO our mind one OF the best evil
dcnces OF the improvements that have
been going on iii this county during
the past several years can be found
in the increa asing number OF two, three
and four teacher schools as a result of
adding to thc teaching forces in one
teacher schools. Figures recently
compiled by Supt Of Education J. II.
Sullivan show that during the session
OF l9i2l3 there were but eight two
teacher schools while there were 81
One-teacher schools. Against these
fgurcs may be placed to great advan-
tage the figures for 1914-15, wherein
4: is shown that there has been in the
two years an increase from to 20
tWo-teacher schools, from 5 to three
teacher schools and a reduction to "a
One-teacher schools At the same time
the amount Of aid secured from the
state for rural and high schools has
Increased from about $500 to ap-
proximately $4,000.
This Is a record that the school dis
tricts and the county may we'll be
proud Of. This steady growth has
been brought about by work, cooper
alton and loyal financial support. Some
have helped and some have hindered,
hut wherever a determined spirit has
been exhibited a way has been found
Tor Improvement. While the schools
are in better condition now than they
have been, the time has not come and
should never come when we may rest
upon our oars All OF us should look
to the future, determined to make It
even better than the past, resolving
that We will do our part in helping
along in the fight.

Several very interesting articles on
educational matters are left out O.!
this issue on account Of lack OF space.
They will be carried over and print
cd in future issues. The yarc equally
rs valuable as the articles we carry,
but mechanical limitations forced
them out of this issue.
Laurens is watching with interested
eyes to see what action the presby-
terics are going to take with reference
to Chicora. We hardly think that the
presbyterian denomination would coun-
tenancc the expenditure Of any large
sum OF money on either the present
Chcora site or the Woman's College
site. Both sites are too small for the
student bodies already in them and if
the two institutions are combined into
one, either site would be intolerably
small. The problem then Will be
whctncr to move to another site in
either OF these two cities or to some
other city or town. Real estate values
in Grccnvillc and Columbia will doubt
less weigh heavily in the decision and
n.;ny will favor moving to somc other
locality. In that case IaurcnS is the
logical place for it.

Made a Good Yield

]. A. Ellexon, one of the good farm
ers living three miles northwest Of
Dombey was In town Friday on bust
ness and made the Democrat Office a
call while here. Mr.. Ellexon reports
"a yield of 1871 bushels of maize and
kaffir from 42-acre field this year,
making an average of Al bushels to
the acre He also has herd of 40
good hogs on his farm which he will
feed this maize and kaffir to, and haul
his crop to town on foot later on.
Mr.. Ellexon, in our opinion, has the
proper idea of farming and marketing
his crops, and we hope some day the
practice of bringing crops to town in
the shape of pork will become univer-
sal among our farmers.

| President Wilson's message to con.
gress is masterpiece of English Ian
guage, and it will be worth your
while to read it in the ready print
side of the Democrat if you have not
already seen it. AS an evidence that
it hit the spot, we point to II. r. S
fierce denunciation of il on the day
after it was delivered. When II. r.
condemns a thing you can be toler-
ably sure that the condemned thing
is worthy of support, as he would
rather be wrong than president. ~
The stores of Liberal present true
holiday spirit. Every one of them
is loaded to the guards with Christ
mas articles and suggestions, and it
will not be necessary to send away
for anything. People living in the
country should make il point to do
their trading early, as it won't be
long before these stocks are picked
over.
