THE TEACHERS HELD AN
IMPORTANT MEETING

The teachers met Saturday and dis
oussed the ways of making up the
time lost on account of the quaran :
tine. The ways discussed were
teaching Saturdays. iengthening the
term at the end OF the session, and
the teaching of summer term Of l.,
s or s weeks. Some schools are now
using Saturdays, some rural schools
prefer a summer term, all are in
favor Of making Up as much OF the
time lost as is possible Most o: the
rural schools will find It impossible to
lengthen the term in May OF June ca
account of farm work. A summer
session is the only solution for these
conditions.
Prof Derrick and Mr.. Sale each Of
fered resolutions which were incorp-
Grated into the following on which the
teachers voted separately:
Resolved: /. That we, as teachers,
are willing, and feel, that the time
lost on account of the quarantine
should be made np.
2. That we will teach on Saturdays
and will lengthen the term whenever
it is possible. Wherever this cannot
be done we will teach summer term.
3. That the teachers are willing to
cooperate in any way without making
unnecessary financial sacrifice.
These resolutions will be presented
to the trustees at their meeting next
Saturday at II o'clock at the court
house. The trustees are asked to al
tend as important questions concern
ing school term, State aid, and paying
teachers will be discussed

Jhon D. Hitler, a prominent mer-
chant farmer and business man of
Chaplin, was seriously injured in an
automobile accident Saturday night
and is now at the Baptist hospital
suffering from a crushed chest and
fracture at the base of the skull.
From the information gained it seems
that Mr.. Hitler and his cousin. Mr..
John E. Dreher, we're making trip

tance away when the car skidded and
landing in a ditch choked down. Mr..
Hitler, who was driving, got out Of
the car to crank it., forgetting that
he had left it in gear when it knocked
him down, running over him, crush
ing his chest and fraeturing his skull.
Mr.. Dreher, being inexperienced in
handling automobiles, was unable to
get Mr.. Hitler from under the car until
he could go some distance to house
and get help. Mr. Hitler is now at
the Baptist Hospital in Columbia un-
dergoing treatment and it is feared
that his recovery is very doubtful.
Since writing the above we learn
that Mr.. Hitler died this morning at

By cutting down your cotton acreage you need
not reduce your land under cultivation. A farmers
business is to farm and every he can make pro-
ductive adds that much more to the wealth Of the
world But farmers business is also business and
he should not run it at loss. Many people never
realize that the average cotton farmers situation is
something like this: He borrows money, pays rent
and either gives his own labor and that of his family
or hires labor to work enough land that will produce
say ten bales of cotton Usually by the end of the
season either through bad weather conditions or be-
cause of boil weevil activity, because Of rainy
weather during the picking season, or scarcity OF
cotton pickers, his ten bales reduced to eight
bales Now taking Soc pound as the market price
for cotton we find that of this eight bales four bales
will be good enough grade to bring the full market
price of soc pound, or total of $500. The other
four bales, because of bad weather during picking
or carelessness of pckers various other reasons
might average say 18c pound, $50 bale, or $3.50
for four bales total of $500 for his whole years

The total value is the same but the cost of handling

The South is now in position which might be
called cotton poor" that is to say, it has large
stocks of cotton on hand costing considerably more
than present market values to product and for which
there is seemingly demand except at these sacri
flee prices. Although there are sound fundamental
reasons why cotton should not be as low the pres
ent market quotations, yet in order to be in the
safe side is good policy not to raise the usual crop
of cotton in 1919-then the world will be to
take the cotton get and pay the Southern farm

crop. This farmer started out to make ten bales of
cotton worth 81 1900 Yet his gross income dwndled
down to $500. The Southern farmers certainly
entitled to at least Soc pound for their cotton under
present conditions, and they should get it.
Diversifcaton Of crops is common sense policy
for farmer. If your cotton crop goes wrong, you
have your corn, your cattle, your hogs, or other
crops. During 1919 you will make more money by
cutting your usual cotton acreage and putting more
land into feed and food crops Plant corn. Feed
it to the hogs necessary. The minimum base price
of $3.50 per hundred pounds, Chicago basis, as es
tablished by u S. Food Administration for hogs will
probably remain in effect several months. Even
when this price restriction is removed there will be
money in hogs Europe is short Of fats, and it will
be long while before pork gets so cheap as to be
improbable to the raiser. Europe needs food. Eu-
rope not in position to raise big crop in 1919, or
even next year. America must help feed her. Plant
some of your land in feedstufs and foodstus, then
you will be helping to both feed and cothe the world

Every one knows that small crop years yield more
money In individual this might not be so
because one farmer section of the farming
country or even whole State night have ruinous-
ly short crop In this event they would have to suf
fer while more fortunate individuals in other sections
would benefit. But as general rule when a crop
is short everybody makes more money. 1t is easy

yield more net profit than twenty bales at S75 bale

BRITISH LABORTTES
VICTORS AT POLLS
Success Equally Striking in
London and Provinces.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-The bulk of the
results of the municipal elections--for
town councils in the provinces and for
borough councils in London-will not be
known until Monday. Those already
announced, however, indicate great
labor victory. Labor's successes are
equally striking in London and the
provinces and are largely at the ex-
pense of the progressives.
There were three parties in the field.
the Moderate, Progressive and Laborite.
The latter waged an active campaign.
They had 1000 candidates for the 1900
London seats. Their programme de-
manded measures to arrest prof,teering
by extension OF municipal trading in
foodstuffs and coal. bringing public ser
vices under municipal control, an eff
fective housing scheme and increased
powers generally for borough councils.
In common with the Progressives, they
advocated taxation Of local ground values
| as a means for reducing tax rates. which
| have risen to as much as twelve shillings
| in the pound on the rental value OF
buildings.
Another feature of the campaign was
| the great part taken by women. who
| had some 200 candidates in the field
| BY the reform act of 1918 over 100000

brace the present opportunity to secure
