GOOD COMMUNITIES"

We copy an editorial in this issue
fror, 4he. Abbeville Press and Ban
ner on this subject, and we would
be glad if every reader of this paper
would read this article. It is just
what we have been preaching in this
county for long time. To have q
good community you must have e
good school in that community.
Old Abbeville county, the home OF
statesmen and big men Of the ole
time and of colleges and among the
first to have real good schools in the
early days, according to some figures
which we printed in the last issue,
stands today at the bottom OF the list
Of counties in the per capita amount
>spent in the education Of the chill
dren of the county, and considerably
below the average for the state. We
we're surprised to see the figures
when they were printed by the state
superintendent of education, and
they attracted our attention for the
reason that they were a surprise.
that this grand old county would be
satisfied to remain in that position,
and we do not wonder that the good
Press and Banner would write the
fine article to which we refer. II
should arouse the people of Able
vile to action. Ignorance and pref
udice are keeping many communities
in the state in the background, and
the great pity is that the innocent
children of these communities are the
ones who suffer, because their par
ents will not see the advantage Of e
good school, and realize that a good
school can not be had in these days
without the spending of money, and
that money spent in the proper edu-
cation of the boys and girls of this
day is the best money investment
that they can make. Go into any
community where the people have
awakened to the Importance OF
good school and have voted taxes Tor
it's maintenance, and you can soon
see the evidences Of progress and I'M
provement. And yet strange to say
in some of these communities even
Won will find some of the people who
are still complaining about paying
taxes for better schools. But they
do not complain very loud and their
grumbhng does not amount to very
much.

The County Fair.

The colored fair opened on Thurs
day, but there was not much doing.
On Friday the crowd was very good,
The horse racing was the attraction.
First prize was taken by the Green
wood horse; second prize by the
Davis horse. The exhibition house
was about completed in time for the
exhibits. The floats in the house
were nice and the field products
showed up remarkably well, but log
prices affected the fair both in num-
Der and size of exhibits as well as IN
number in attendance. .

spirit at the other schools and the

SOLVE
PEACE PROBLEM
The Nationlist Army, Which Has Been
Disturbing Factor, Being Supplied
With Arms And Ammunition.
Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 21-Mustapha
Kennel Pasha's Turkish Nationalist
Army, which has been a disturbing
factor in the efforts of the Allies to
solve the Turkish peace problem, is
being regularly supplied with arms
and ammunitio nfrom Constantinople
through Trebizond, a Black Sea port,
according to information received here
from J.. P. Ryan, of Munice, Ind, a
Near Relief worker in that district.
"Arms are struggled in regularly,
and with almost no attempt at con-
cealment," writes Mr.. Ryan. "A
Turkish schooner makes a trip every
few days from C~onstaninople, and an
chors right here in Trebizond. The
cargo is discharged at night, and load
ed into Turkish army wagons, that
you can see almost any night follow
ing the same road out of town that
the lines of Greek refugees We're driv-
en- to their death in 1915 and 1916.
They pass right by the Near East Re
lief ]orphanage on the way to the in
terror"
"I have no way of being certain
where they go but most probably to
Erzingan and Sivas, where Musta-
pha Kennel, in spite Of the French
Mission, is very strong. There is a
British control officer here of course,
but he would not believe that arms
were being shipped into the country
until he happened to be out here n
night, and l showed him the wagons
passing. He has stopped a few OF
them, but the smuggling still goes
on, just the same.
"The Turks realize that most OF
the hinterland of this country, IT not
Trebizond itself, is bound to GO to Ar
menia, sooner or later; and they are
preparing to resist Armenian rule,
and to try to discredit the Armenian
government by inspiring disorder just
as soon as the Armenians take charge.
at is a pity that Admiral Bristol
and the American Navy are not char
ged with the surveillance of this
whole coast, from Batum to Beyrouth.
The trouble with France and England
is that the Mohammedans have them
bluffed, on account of their Moham-
medan colonies, and the Turks are
putting it over on them right along
The only nation the Turks respect Is
the u. S. A.
