migratory bird law has been re-
stated on the docket for re.argu-
ment before Gle supreme court.
This means it may be months,
perhaps q year, before a decision
lis handed down, and since all
spring shooting is barred pend
ing the. outcome Of this case, it
at once becomes. clear that no
hunting will be done this spring
unless parties going out wish to
run the risk Of ending up their
days sport with night in Jail.
| And q night in Jail is what a
day spent in shooting migratory
)irds would lead to IL the nimord
is caught, since the letter from
Washington declares all viola
lions of the law will be prose-
cuted.
/ Shaver is an Arkansas man.
Arrested for alleged violation of
the migratory bird law, he car
ried his case up to the supreme
court. It has been accepted as
q test case, but the government,
pending q decision, has assumed
the law Is still in force and has
continued with the prosecution of
all caught violating the law.
And the letter states that the
arrest Of hunters shooting ma
gratory birds this spring will
continue.

SPRING CLEANING TIME.

Careful housekeepers are be.
ginning to plan their spring OPP
erations at house cleaning and
many, armed with brooms, mops
and other implements are al
ready actually engaged in the
great annual conflict with dirt.
These good women set an eX-
ample well worthy of adoption
on large scale by others. We
are proud of the way Main street
is kept. 1t is swept daily and
presents most attractive APP
pearance.
But there is need of improve
ment in the condition of the back
lots and alleys of the town. And
the cleaning up of these places
should come before warm wealth
II overtakes us and the germs
that now lie dormant spread dis
ease. These breeding places sof
flies and mosquitoes should be
destroyed. Decaying vegetable
matter is menace to health
and we cannot afford for it to do
it's dangerous work. In order to
obviate the danger to which
such accumulations of garbage
or other trash subjects us, we
must remove it. We need concert
of action in this as in every
other undertaking. Why not then
settle upon a day or days, have
the date advertised and make
a good job of spring cleaning?
The individual should be asked
to cooperate, the business
houses also, and the town au-
thorities could see that it is
carried out. No premises, street
lot or alley should be overlooked
in this important campaign. Let
1T be done thoroughly and let it
be done as early as possible.
And, in conclusion, we would
urge the individual property
owners to consider the impor-
tance of this work. Everyone
who has eyes to see must OBJ
serve to the need of spring clean
ing. Improved sanitary condi-
tlons are necessity and not an
imaginary need.

COUNTY SCHOOL
TRUSTEES MEET
Large Attendance-HOn. Claud
n. Sapp Principal Speaker.

| Large AtteHuduce-f1On. CIaud
n. Sapp Principal Speaker.
The annual Lancaster County
School Trustees meeting was
held at the Court House Satur-
day morning, February 10Th, be-
ginning promptly at II a. m.
The session was called to order
by the president, w. H. Draffin,
and the minutes of the last meet
ing were read and approved.
A petition which had been cir
culated the county over among
the trustees, to raise the salary
of the County School Superin-
.endent to $1,000 per year was re-
ceived as information. Other
matter was discussed in brief
way; after which, Hon. Claud n.
Sapp was presented as the
speaker of the occasion.
Mr.. Sapp discussed rural
school work from every angle
and his earnest and convincing
logic was listened to with great
interest. He said in part: "You
trustees have a GREAT RESPONSE
bility resting upon your should
ers in the capacity of being
trustee of your school-you are
the whole pulse of your COM
munity from an educational
standpoint. 1t is true that all the
school work is shifted to your
shoulders, and while the patrons
of a school should not do this,
yet it is done and it is up to
you to look out for the educa-
tional welfare of that commu-
nifty. South Carolina is awaken
ing to the need of practical edu-
cation and Lancaster county
must not hesitate in doing her
part.
"You trustees should keep in
direct touch with your County
Superintendent of Education.
You elect him and pay his sal
ary for the purpose of looking
after your interest from an edu-
cational standpoint, so why
don't you use him?
Mr.. Sapp urged the necessity
of a night school to be operated
at least 20 nights each season
at each Schoolhouse throughout
the county. He stated: you al
ready have your teachers, you
Dl
utilize Them He urged the
trustees to so work for the up
building of their schools, that
the boys and girls could step
direct from the rural school to
the various state institutions of
their choice without the expense
of having to go to some pre-
paratory school for a while be-
tween the time they leave the
rural school and the time of en-
trance in the state educational
institution.
MIR. Sapp discussed many fea-
lures of the school trustee work,
which was greatly appreciated
by those present. At the con-
clusion of his address, Prof Wes-
singer and Prof. Connors both
made brief but interesting
talks.
Prof. V. A. Lingle made his
annual report, showing that the
schools had made material in
crease in school matters during
The past year and much greater
results are expected this year.
He urged the trustees to select
their teachers for the next year
as soon as possible.
There were fifty-one trustees
present, the largest number ever
present at a similar conference,
and each one returned to his
home fully convinced that now
is the time to work for the gen.
eral Improvement of the educa-
tional facilities of Lancaster
county.
