IN making these allotments the
board considered enrolment and
area. 1t was decided that $500 pu-
pills would be the basis of assignment
OF each attendance officer where the
territory allowed for tho nine coun-
ties receiving double assignments
Long distances, sparse population
and bad roads had Il direct bearing
upon the number OF attendance ofIi-
GERS allotted some counties. Il is
hoped that these conditions will i'm.
prove in the near future.
Men and Women Eligible.
In every county the appointment
OF attendance officers is vested in the
county boards of education. Both
men and women are eligible for this
service. vrhe salary is 500 per
month for twelve months. No al
lowance is, provided for travelling ex-
penses, although few county super
intendents have indicated their de-
selections by county boards
should be determined not later than
May 10. Appointees should be ready
to begin work by June 1. The cen
sus Of school children between tha
ages Of six and fourteen years must
be taken by school districts during
the calendar months Of July and An
gust. This work will require con-
siderable travel. much labor and fa-
m1l1arity with local topography.
The law provides for regular at
tendance through four consecutive
months, or eighty days. The State
board recommends that this period
or attendance be fixed by local boards
Of trustees at the beginning Of the
term. The date of beginning and
closing of their schools is regulated
absolutely by the local boards. Hence
trustees should be able to- run their
schools when a majority of the chill
dren can attend.
Will Issue Pamphlet.
State superintendent Swearingen
is preparing to issue a pamphlet on
the school legislation Of 1919. The
compulsory attendance law will
make one Of the most interesting and
most important features Of this
pamphlet.
"Fhe whole question will be fully
discussed at conference Of county
superintendent OF education to be

is even backed and supported by not

ing Director Of Extension Service D.
w. Watkins has arranged to have a
representative Of the extension SER
vice at Camp Jackson hereafter to
look after the interests of farmers
and farming in connection with dis
charged soldiers who may be inter.
ested In the various lines Of agricul-
tural industry. This agent will act
as sort Of clearing house between
farmers who are in need Of help and
soldiers who are seeking work in ag-
recultural lines.
4 series OF form cards will be used
by the special agent to set forth the
needs of the farmers and another
series to set forth the qualification
Of soldiers for certain kinds Of work.
County agents will be called upon
to aid in getting farmers Of their re-
%pective counties to furnish data of
their needs and making connection
between those seeking workers and
those seeking work.
by this means men qualified as
farm mechanics, tractor operators
her6Smen, dairymen. truckers. hor-

who need such help.
In this way something Of value can

FARMERS HOLD THEIR COTTON
Indications Point to Il Reduction of
1919 Crop by Onc-Third.

The South Carolina Cotton Assn
ciation has received a telegram from
former Governor Richard |. MAN.
ming, who is in New York on his way
to Europe to visit the grave Of his
son, requesting that the latest de-
tailed information concerning the
cotton campaign, not only from South
Carolina, but the entire cotton belt,
be wired him. lie urged that this
information be given in full, as he
wished it for the purpose Of using it
in the various great cotton centres in
Europe.
The association, after checking IN
the returns from this State in full
and the various sections OF the cot
ton belt, wired him at length. The
result Of the information telegraphed
to him will prove Il source of great
satisfaction and happiness to him,
said member Of the committee, and
this information will be revelation,
proving truly startling and amazing
to the manufacturers of Europe, who
have been so foolish as to ~ely on
informa ton from the Northern spec-
ulators.
Reports show beyond the shadow
OF doubt that cotton acreage re-
duction will be fully 33 1-3 per cent
III South Carolina and throughout the
entire belt" said a member of the
central committee to-day. "In addi-
ton to this. crop preparation is ex-
tremely backward. fertilizer sales are
amazingly short, being only a small
per cent OF the tenyear average.
Labor conditions are extremely acute
and will grow much worse"
The central committee declared
that confidential information on
labor conditions is causing serious
alarm. "The laborers," it says. ARE
being greatly disturbed by profess
sional agitators in every section Of
the belt. The negroes returning
from the army are in thousands of
cases drifting North. The ones who
drift to the cotton belt. in so per cent
OF the cases. are refusing to go to
work, and are spending lives of idle
ness. They are absolutely dissatis-
fled with the pay and conditions on
the farms.
"A regular, systematic campaign
is on, engineered from some un-
known central point, it's object being
to convince the negro that he Is not
obtaining his dues; that it is foolish
for him to labor OH the farm under
existing conditions. and that it would
be greatly to his advantage to 20 to
the North.
with the information before the
South Carolina Association and other
associations, they urge that the com
mitteeS III the various counties and
school districts cOunterHct this evil
influence and campaign by calling
meeting Of the negroes and gettine
them correctly informed. la this way

Corporation Returns.
Governor Hayward announces that
beginning tomorrow, deputy collec-

the State to assist corporations in
the preparation OF their returns, the
blanks having already been mailed
from the collectors Office to every
corporation in this district. 1t is
not expected that these deputies will
prepare returns for the corporations,
but can only give information as to
the application Of the law as called
for by the returns. Each deputy will
be assigned approximately four coun-
ties, and will, Of course, spend the
greater length of time in those coun-
ties which have the larger number Of
corporations.
With these deputies will be a dep-
uty who will take dellnuuent indi-
Vidual income tax returns, and the
collector urges every one who has not
made his return to seek out these
deputy collectors. Where a taxpayer
is delinquent for good reason he
will be expected to make affidavit, hut

payable when return is made.
Deputies will give notice as to their

LARGER SPACE
FOR AUTO SHOW
Commercial and Pleasure
Vehicles to Exhibit at
Same Time.

For the first time in its history
the automobile industry will enjoy,
this winter. ample housing facilities
for the annual national shows. This
condition has been brought about
by the addition to the list of build +.
ings heretofore occupied of two of
the largest structures Of their kind
1t Will therefore be possible to
holS, for the FIRST time, passenger
and commercial departments of the
SHOWS the same week. both at New
York and Chicago. Grand Central
Palace will be available for the
passenger car section Of the New
York show.
Several important facts indicate
that the coming exhibitions will be
the greatest in the history of the
industry. The holding of the two
departments at the same time will
insure a greater attendance of deal
ers and prospective buyers The
manufacturers will have q greater
variety OF improvements to exhibit
than for many years.
There will be important additions
to the family OF exhibitors. BY rea-
son OF the added space the exhibits
VIII be more comprehensive than
formerly. The unprecedented de-
mand for cars. aside from all other
considerations, indicates record
attendance. And finally the man
agement is already assured OF the
presence of foreign buyers

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
BY NEUMAN BROWN,
General Manager Record Tire Co.

There's an annual loss to automo-
bllists Of hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars year, due to the fact that
old tires have been considered prac-
ncally valueless. Once the treads
have been worn way. the remainder.
though in nearly as good condition
as when new. can only hc sold for
old rubber. There have been no prac-
ucsl retreading methods TO salvage
this loss.
There have been two so-calIed re-
treading processes which, as most
automobilists know, are valueless.
The first is stitching an old band
over the tire. A certain amount of
friction is caused between the old
tire and the band" which wears both
both out and often causes heat enough
TO blow out good inner tubes. The
second method is known as the "Open
kettle" process, where the old tire
is steamed for hours. weakening the
side walls and the bead. and the
finished tread does not wear salts
factorily. Tires retreaded by these
methods usually render less than 5O0
miles service.
