Because of the necessary invest
ment, it is not to be expected that a
farmer Of less than average means
should attempt the erection of a silo;
but nevertheless it Is surprising that
so few silos have been erected In this
county. So far as we have informa-
ton, every farmer who has attempted
the experiment and there are a num-
Der Of them, has found it satisfactory
and profitable. After the initial cost
of erecting the silo, the cost Of filling
it with the most desirable rough feed
that can be had for winter consump-
ton is small, and whether the farmer
keeps cattle and horses and mules, or
only horses and mules, he always finds
the investment profitable. The silo Is
an experiment only to those who have
never investigated the proposition.

schools, and in conversation with q
representative Of The Enquirer last
evening, he said he was indeed well
pleased with the schools In York coun-
ty. He said there are few localities In
York county which have not good
school buildings and that there were
only about two. sections Of the county
where schools should be consolidated.
Prof. Gunter, who for three years
was superintendent Of the Rock Hill
Graded schools before taking the posi-
ton Of rural school supervisor, a
that while he knew that LESLIE, Mount
Holly, Catawba and other sections In
the eastern portion Of the county had
adequate school buildings and the best
Of teachers, he did not know until he
had made this trip Of inspection, that
the county's schools as a whole were IN
such good condition and were doing
the high character of work which they
are doing.
81 am sure he said last night, that
there are not two three-teacher schools
in South Carolina doing any better
work than are those at Filbert and
Cotton Belt. The buildings are as
we'll equipped as any in the state and
the character Of the work Is equal to
that Of any city graded school in the
state. I was also much impressed
with what I saw at the Guthriesville
school and in fact, taken as a whole,
all the York county schools which ]
have visited are far above the average
schools of the state.
The great problem among South
Carolina schools In the lear future"
said Prof. Gunter, "is n going to be
that Of securing good school buildings.
but good teachers, and that Is a prob
lem which York county Is already
working on and with great success
So far as buildings are concerned,
there are few York county sections
without the best and others coming
steadily"
Prof. Gunter said that there was not
a single county in the state whose
school houses, teachers and work wa
superior to that being done In York
and that II every county was on 9
plane with York, there would be but
little need for the services Of a rural
school supervisor.

II am convinced the Dardanelles

Mehmed ", sultan Of Turkey and first

sultan throughout the audience ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in
Turkeys ability to Withstand the on

the Turkish defenders Of the Darda-

The Lord helps those who help
themselves. We are not quite sure
that we have Scriptural authority for
this statement, but it is good doctrine,
This doctrine applies to all the efforts
and aspirations of mankind, and it is
commended to the especial and par
ticular consideration Of those who are
looking to considerable gratuitous
benefits from others. The world is
literally filled with opportunities; but
it is rare indeed that people get the
advantage of opportunities without al
least reaching out their hands for
such advantages.

to be the famous Capt. Otto Weddigen,

Berlin, which says that his submarine
