that the average of pay, including

PUBLIC SCHOOLS FIRST PLACE

We get so enthused over the fact
that our people are waking up to the
Importance of the public schools and
that all over Anderson county our
citizens are voting to increase the
levy for school purposes-ouildins
new school houses and enlarging old
ones-are so proud that at last we
a.e making a start and are so busy
with ourselves that it is possible we
sometimes overlook what IS going on
around US. 1t is a good plan, you
know, to try to keep up with what
is going on around you.
And talking of the Importance of
public schools, take a squint at the
following, clipped from the Honolulu
Star-Bulletin:
Taxes are high and burdensome,
Tut maintenance of the public schools
and the proper compensation of those
who teach in them must come ahead
# any consideration of economy. If
We must retrench, it must be done
They must have more money, great
elsewhere than in the public schools
deal of it, and it must be provided.
$50 vitally important are they in
the building of the Hawaii of the fu-
;ure that the needs and necessities
of the public school should have first
place in the consideration of the Leg
islature-first place over harbors
docks, highways, public buildings,
and everything else. They are the
corner stone on which we must erect
100 per cent American Hawaii. -

are paid a bonus.
At the other end of the scale is an
other Milwaukee firm which counts
five minutes tardiness as Is minutes,
and multiplies by three any period of
hardness longer than Is minutes.
Every six months wages are docked
on this basis.
They do things differently in Rus
sia. 1t appears that the Soviets are
having trouble getting members of
government committees to attend
sessions on time, in fact, to get them
to attend at all. Thus, a general or
der from the Council of Peoples
Commissaries, to wit:
Give minutes tardiness at regu-
lar meetings, first offense, reprImand; !;
second offense, docking pay for five
days.
Five minutes tardiness special
meetings, three days wages; ten
minutes hardness, 10 days wages;
absence from meeting, fine, public
reprimand and compulsory work on
holidays"

THE DOLLAR
DEMOCRACY CAMPAIGN

The Dollar Democracy Campaign
is making excellent progress ac-
cording to reports reaching State
headquarters. The organization OF
the campaign to secure funds Tor
the election of Cox and Roosevelt
has been completed in "a of the 4o
counties. Reports received from
General Willie Jones, State treas
urer of the party, indicate that sew
eral thousand dollars have already
been contributed by loyal Demo-
Gratis. Contributions have been re-
ceived from practically every
county in the State.
Thos. P. Cothran, State Chairman
of the executive committee, is
anxious for the canvass for funds
to be completed as soon as possible.
Mr.. Cothran in a statement issued
calls attention to the fact that a
great amour of money will be
needed for he national campaign
and that it is the duty of every
Democrat in South Carolina to con-
tribute as much as one dollar. Of
course larger subscriptions will not
be refused.
Reports received from national
headquarters are very encouraging
and there is every hope of party
success. The Republicans it is point
ed out will spend large amounts of
money in an effort to carry all
doubtful States.
Governor Cooper is very much in
terested in the campaign and urges
that every voter in the State sup
port the party literally.
Joe Sparks, financial direcor OF
the campaign has received the fol-
lowing: letter from Wilbur Marsh,
national treasurer: MAY l sug'
gest that if man can afford to
give more than dollar it is only
right that he do so. The only test OF
helpfulness in spirit is to give until
you feel that you have deniel your,
self by reason of the gift. The cam
paign will cost approximately more
than four years ago, l know that
the South Carolina Democracy will
do its full duty"

have been appointed in the State to
collect the dollars for DemocracyE

COX TO MAKE DRIVE
FOR PROGRESSIVE VOTE
To Meet Colby And kzurdock. Re-
fuses To State Preference For
Craftsmanship, Suffragists win De-
nand Urging Of Action By Ten
nessee And North Carolina.

Columbus, Ohio, July I5.-Demo-
cratic nominee Cox in his campaign
tours plans TO direct a strong appeal
to the progressive elements of both
parties. ,.....-...:,s 80,
1t is probable that Cox and Rose
welt will have. an early conference
with cambridge Colby, now Secre-
tary of State, and Victor Murdoch,
of the Federal Trade Commission,
both former Bull Mossers. for the
purpose of discussing. plans TO bring
are demlfants of+the old PROGRESSIVE
party into the Dem ocratic fold.
Colby, Murdoch, and other Bull
Moosers, now lined up with the
Democrats will be asked to- take a
prominent part in the campaign, it
was learned. Another feature of the
Cox progressive campaign will be an
attempt to paint Senator Harding as
a reactionary, as indicated in the
Democratic nominees statement yes
terday.
Just as Senator Harding apparent
ly is trying to split the Democrats on
the League issue, Cox seems to be
bent on causing a row in the Re
publican ranks over the Senator'S
proposed front-porch campaign by
denouncing. it as 'nonprogressive."
Harry M. Daugherty, Harding's
convention manager, in a statement
here replying to Cox, declared that
"at no time has a decision been
reached to adopt the front-poch
campaign" There will be no final
decision reached until the national
committee meets he said
Cox today declined to indicate his
preference for the craftsmanship, of
tine Democratic National Committee,
which is to meet here to formulate
campaign plans next Tuesday. He
praised Homer S. Cummings, present
chairman, for his convention speech
and Ed H. Moore for his work as
Cox convention manager. Indica-
tions are that Moore does not desire
the Craftsmanship.
Suffrage leaders in their confer
ence with Governor Cox tomorrow
will demand that the first work OF
his campaign be to force Democratic
Legislatures in Tennessee and North
Carolina to ratify the nineteenth
