THE WORLD DO MOVE

Brother Craven, of the Lancaster
News takes new courage over the
fact that last weeks issue of the
Literary Digest was gotten out with
out having set line of type while
he was fussing all the week with old
Mergenthaler. Brother, the Digest
has never had to contend with old
Mergenthaler or others of his like.
It's an ill wind that blows no one any
good. In this day of labor dissatisfac-
ton and strikes among the trades
peoples, thousands of New York
printers, regardless of the advices OF
the International Typographical un-
ion were seized by the present mania
and proceeded to take up cudgel
which we believe will be the means OF
their own ultimate undoing. AS the
editor of the Digest says: Necessity
is the mother of invention. When
its compositors lost their sense of
Justice and reasoning and quit work
the Digest was driven to the neces-
sity of coming out without their aid
and so had to resort to new eXper-
iment. Its original typewriter copy
sheets were photographed and plates
were made from which the regular
issue was printed and over 100000
copies of the weekly issued on time,
thereby blazing the way for the rev.
olutionizing of magazine print
shops and sets US guessing as to the
next innovation in ordinary country
print shops. At present old Mergen-
thaler is king bee, but we can re-
call the time, when his ideas were
given little, if any serious thought,
in the country shop, but today,
even though we occasionally have to
fuss and fume and sweat over the
product of his brain, this machine
with almost human intelligence, is
prime minister, it will eventually be-
come obsolete, for surely brother, the
world do move.

that the work of the boil weevil would
prove disastrous to their great money
crop-cotton, and diSpite all warnings
continued to follow their old method
of planting. The first year follow
ing the discovery of the pest in his
community, said Sheriff Wade, the
number. was not so great and the con-
Sequent damage was small. The
second year they were more numer-

third year they were practically ruin
Gus to those who had diSregarded the
warning sissued and had not inau-
gurated combative measures on their
farms.
"You folks will have the same eX-
perience here in Williamsburg" con-
tinued Mr. Wade. And as to the meth
cd of fighting the pest he said ne be-
lieved "the only way to kill it, is to
burn it; that you might place one be-
tween blocks of ice for eight hours,
then turn him loose and he would
crawl off as soon as the sun struck
him." This being the case we need
not count on our winters freezing him
out.
The farmers in the infested sec
tions of Georgia, who still attempt to
raise cotton at all, plant the very
early varieties, gather the fruit, which
is practically accomplished at one
picking, then plow the stalks under,
and this Mr.. Wade told us, has al
ready been done this season.

The Compulsory School Law
To School Trustees, Teachers, an
Patrons:

To School Trustees, Teachers, and
Patrons:
The compulsory attendance law is
a new thing, departure from the
old way, indeed radical change. If
tact and common sense are observed
the law will receive practically the
full support of the people, and be the
greatest factor in stamping out illit-
eracy.
In our view the law is intended
for those neglectful parents who
are not giving their children the ed
ucational advantages provided for
them. To such people the law plain
ly says: "Turn about and get in line. y
The great majority, those who have
always sent their children to school,
the law should not in anyway affect,
Any law can be made unpopular
by the manner of its enforcement
and that is why we are now urging
fidelity, tact, and common sense on
the part of US all. No school will
have perfect attendance. Very few
children will ever attend school "SC
consecutive school days" If pupil is
absent several days it is the teach
er'S duty to look in to the matter anc
find out the reason. a good teacher
would do this regardless of the law
If the absence in her judgment is in
excuSable. and the parent cannot be
brought to a proper observance OF
the law, the attendance officer should
be notified.
While the law may, and should
help average attendance, that was
not its primary purpose. Its great
purpose IS to reach those children
who have heretofore been deprived
of school on account of their parent:
neglect
Let fidelity, tact, common sense be
our slogan.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 80, 1919
MIR. BOIL WEEVIL is HERE

The past week has convinced US
beyond a doubt that the much talked
of boil weevil has really and truly
poked his destroying little beak into
Williamsburg COUNT. First from
Gourdin then Lanes, farmers report
ed capturing these pesky insects in
the act of damaging their crop. The
publication of numerous articles in
The County Record regarding the
weevil has no doubt caused many
farmers to be on the alert for its de-
lection.
Now, whether OF not the weevil
proves the salvation or the ruin OF
the county depends upon our own eff
forts. There is no need for panic or
even undue worry. The country is to-
Gay in better shape to combat the
pest than ever before in its history.
With proper management it can be
made a blessing. But the weevil is
here and we must not wait until he
has destroyed a crop for US before we
act. The Record makes no claim to
expert knowledge of farming, we only
know what we have read about the
boil weeyil We have an idea as to
the best way to beat him at his game.
since he is especially particular about
cotton as q means of subsistence and
that is 20 take UP other lines of farm
ing, substituting other crops for cot
ton, raising cattle, hogs, and sheep.
Peanuts make fine money crop and
our soil is we'll adapted to them. We
can raise peanuts for stock if there
is not profitable market.
Then there is the matter of tobac-
CO. We know this to be profitable
crop in Williamsburg. Our farmers
are fairly we'll acquainted with the
method Of cultivation, curing and
marketing.
Cotton can be made profitable un-
der boil weevil conditions, we are in
formed, provided the proper meas
ures are taken. Every farmer should
get in touch with the Department of
Agriculture at Washington as early
as possible to secure the latest in
formation as to the best methods of
fighting the weevil, at the same time
increasing his acreage devoted to
food for himself and tenants and US
ing his best land and his best efforts
to make better cotton than ever, in
this way, discounting as much as pos
sible the damage which it is antici-
pated the boil weevil will do. The
department of agriculture believes
it has Sound a poison for the pest
which will be q great aid in the war
fare on him. but it is necessary that
farmers get correct information. A
special bulletin dealing with this sub
ject can be had by all who write to
the Department asking for Circular
No. 81, Poisoning the Boil Weevil." !"
We can make the advent Of the
weevil great benefit if we take
time by the forelook and try to dis
count the damage he will do. Per-
haps in after years we will, like the
folks in Alabama. be glad to raise a
monument TO him.

Presentment OF The Grand Jury

TO the Honorable Edward McIver,
Judge of the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult, presiding in the Court Of Gen
eral Sessions Of the County of Will
liamsburg, State of South Carolina:
We, the Grand Jury OF Williams
burg County, South Carolina, do here
by respectfully beg leave to submit
this our report and presentment:
|. With the assistance Of your
Honor's concise, clear and able in
Structions on questions of law, we
have to the best Of our ability pass
ed on all bills presented to us by the
Solicitor, true bills having been found
in all cases.
2. The Committee appointed to in
spect the Jail, made their inspection
and as result, found that the walls
of the Jail need calsomining, and the
steel bars and floors of the cells need
to be scraped off and repainted, and
we recommend that this be done.
We also recommend that the yard of
the Jail be filled in or raised, to pre-
vent the washing away by water that
is now taking place. Should this con-
dition be allowed to continue it might
in time undermine the foundations
of the Jail. We further recommend
that a glass be placed in front door
of the Jail.
8. The Committee appointed to
examine into the condition of affairs
of the County offices, begs leave to
report, that they have made inspec-
tions of all of the offices, except the
office of the Superintendent of Edu-
cation which office was closed on the
day that the inspection was made.
They found all of the offices in good
condition and the books neatly kept,
and the officers of the County are to
be commended for the excellent way
in which the office of each is kept.
4. We beg to call attention to the
condition of the public schools in our
County. Complaints have been made
to us, about the conditions prevail
ing in our schools. Our Superintend-
ent of Education is prevented by i'll
ness from performing the duties OF
his office and we have in his stead
substitute, who we believe to be with
out full power to act. We, therefore,
recommend that proper steps be TAX
en- to have a permanent Superintend-
ent of Education and that the duties
of this office be performed with the
utmost diligence.
5. We beg to bring to your atten-
ton again our recommendation as to
the roads in our County, and our
recommendation that one man from
each school district be appointed to
assist the road engineer, as set fourth
in our previous report.
We wish to thank your Honor for
the able charge, and wholesome in
structions that you gave to us. We
desire to thank your Honor and the
Solicitor for the aid that was given
us in dispatching the work intrusted
to our hands.
All of which is respectfully sub
mitted.

Foreman of the Grand Jury.

ARCHIBALD MARSHALL

British aristOcracy was viewed in some
quarters with seorn and even alarm.
Prof. William Lyon Phelps's praise Of
Mr.. Marshall did not recommend him to
every one. ITO read these novels"
Prof. Phelps said, SIS like visiting in q
good house. Instead Of being
forced to associate with dull, coarse, dirty
loafers whom one would not pick for ae
quaintances in everyday life, the reader
is brought into contact with extremely at
tractive men and women"
But, as a matter of fact, not every one
enjoys visiting in "a good house, At
tractive people make those possibly not so
attractive uncomfortable. In one of Mr..
Marshall's short stories in a new cOllec-
ton, after the plebeian secretary becomes
engaged TO the scientist son of an aristO-
cratic family and she is told to ask her
parents to come for visit, she frankly

says they would not enjoy it at all. She
herself is lonesome in the evening when
these British aristocrats moon on the ter
race after dinner, or have "httle music
in the drawing room, or sit around and
talk quietly about nothing. She misses
the greater animation In her home in
Camden. She finally yields to the silent
and wen bred but determined counter Of
fensive of the women Of the household
and releases the young man. The story IS
called In That State of Life, which alone
says good deal:
There is another story about Rat Catch
ers Joe, who becomes a millionaire In
America, and his boyhood friend, William
Page, who follows in his fathers and
grandfather's red breeches and silk stock
ings as butler to the Master, content with
his Estate in life"-until he becomes ser

which is called Son Of Service, is most eff
fective. It contains subtle argument for
the dignity Of service and the worth Of
the man, who does one thing being
a butler-superiatiyely veil.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-05-11
Making the World Safe for the AristOCracy

Several of the stories In Mr.. Marshalrs
new volume are about his favorite Clinton
family. The first story tells of the Beau
Clinton, who was willing to barter his
birthright to entertain for a single night
that English "Prinny" who was a friend
of Brummel. In the last story, the Clin-
ton home, where the Clintons have lived
and clipped their yews and rolled their
sward and served their tea and played
their tennis for 500 years, has become
Red Cross hospital. Perhaps these stories
of Mr.. Marshall mark great passing.
Noblesse oblige is Mr.. MarshslPs work
ing rule. He applies it not only in his
stories of elders, but in stories of English
sehoolboys and girls, with their terror
ism" toward tutors but strict ideas OF
honor. "It's the real noblesse oblige,'
some one says in one of the stories. Those
who have the most should give the most.
Mr.. Marshall is an accomplished story
teller. His people may not be exciting,
but they are real

TT has been told that when the Kaiser
L visited England nothing enraged
him more and made him more enyious
than the great homes with their accumu-
lated beauties and treasures and all the
amenities of English country life. The
Kaiser would not like the novels Of Arch
ibald Marshall; which would be rubbing
it in.
But now is the time when almost every
one should be able to find solid enjoyment
in this Englishman's smooth, ample, leis
urely and agreeable story telling. In the
pre- Bolshevik era, when we were all more
or less interested in socialism (if it would
work. and the Russians had not yet given
their edifying exhibition, the grace and
suavity with which Mr.. Marshall proved
that the world should be made safe for the
