Supt. McClarty Urges Coop

The last enumeration OF edu-
cable children which was two
years ago showed that Lafayette

children. between the ages of 5
and II.
The State gives S2.25 per capi-
ia From this source you will see
that We receive total of $40, 900.
To secure the names of all the
edueaole children in the county
requires but a short time on the
part of the teachers and trustees
The Supt. is powerless, he
cannot do this work, ne can only
insist that it should ne done
There Is not trustee or teacher
IN the county but that feels the
need of more school funds TO de-
fray teachers expenses. So |
appeal to you, Mr.. trustee and
teacher TO, cooperate with me in
getting this enumeration correct

claim that there are at least
the names of 1000 boys and girls
out OF school whose names should
De placed on this list.
Had you ever paused to con-
sider that each of these boys and
girls is worth $500 to Us in 4
years or a total of S90O0.OO?
Had it ever occurred TO YOU
that all of these little ash-fsced
negroes are of the same value to

teachers will realize how very
important it Is to work their
school districts closely.

The people. PoOhl They
don't count. All they are ex-
pected or allowed to do is to trail
along to the polls and vote as
they are told to do. They are not
supposed to think, because they
are not credited by the leaders

any brains, to say nothing of
rights.
When the great ones" Of the
parties set their seal Of approval
or disapprovsl upon this man or
that man, do they first go to the
people of their districts and as
certain who THEY want for
president?
Not a bit of it.
For what do the people"

Pay Up W'eek.

What promises TO become an
annual national event has been
inaugursted as National Pay Up
Week. February 21-26 inelu-
sive.
Credit Is one Of the great as
sets Of our present pay system Of
business, out Ike many other
good thing, it Il sometimes sous-
ed and over done; and because
60 many people are careless about
paying their accounts. there are
millions upon millions Of dol
lars IN out staining accounts IN
this country today that could be
paid without IncOnveisncIng the
debtor. and If all these millions
of dollars were put into circula-
ton during the week. there
would be the greatest week Of
prosperity ever known in this
country.
While credit Is a great thing,
d. Al the same tine becomes a tax
when abused. The man who
does not pay MS debts pays a
penalty or lax every time ne buys
a dollars worth Of merchandise E;
out not only must he pay this
tax, out the man who pays his
deots IL complied to bear MS
snare Of this unjust tax-a tar
collected IN increased price oa
the commodities Of life occasion
81 BY the failure Of the debtor C
pay MS bills.
II l. often said that the
customers Of the retail mereh
aaLs who pay cash pay more fol
their merchandise than they
should, because they have to pay
for what a deadoeat gets without
paying, and there Is much truth
IN the statement, too-the mar
VINO pays his bills, pays cash
does really pay more for the com
modIties Of life tnsn he should
pay because so many do not pay

THE COUNTRY PREACHER

s
The preacher into his study goes to
make up dough to feed his flock. He
says his prayers and scans the word,
If he its mystery may unlock. His
brain is cormant and will not work.
He draws the reihs and saws its
mouth. He tells his thinkbox what
must be and rubs his face from north
to south. The Expositor then he wan
ders through, a-searching for some
storebought stuff. He takes the Homi-
letic Review to give his lazy brain a
bluff. Frantic, he PAGES to and fro,
and the lazy thinkbox rouses up. A
"still small voice" says preach the
word" just linger till you fill your cup
He heeds the voice, proceeds to fill,
and soon his soul is bubbling Ger. He
quaffs at Gods eternal fount till his
heart can hold no more He takes this
cup on Sunday morn While fiocks
await with eager lips, he pours the
heavenly nectar out, as each one of its
sweetness sips. His name is not
known far and wide No daily quotes
his sermon lore, warning folks to catch
the tide which sweeps toward life's
eternal shore. He has no growing
bank account, no worldly goods, no
earthly store. He has no surplus cash
amount to keep the wolf way from his
door. He takes Gods promises as
true, and pillows here his faithful head
"The Righteous / will not forsake, nor
let his seed go begging bread" He
goes to conference in the fall after
months of constant push and pull. He
stands up when his name is called,
with "Good year, bishop, all in full. "
He goes with sparkling, hopeful eyes.
His chin is lifted in the air. He gets
his triumph from the skies; his faith
he anchors firmly there. A single inch
he never yields to Satan and his stern
array. The battle sword he bravely

defeat and give his party an opportu-
