tho record will bear out the state
ment that l have as editor, private
citizen and county official done as
much as any one in advertising ana
advocating and encouraging the boys
and girls. l do not even except 1he
agents themselves, because they nave
come and gone and l have been here
all the time helping and encouraging
all that l could.
I will be frank to say, however,
that I could not get enthusiastic over
a county fair fsr the schools during
the school term, because it would
naturally interfere with the regular
school ork. A community 1alr 1or
one or two schools held in the COM
munity of the schools is all right
because it will help to keep up en-
thusiasm in the community and not
take the children away from the reg
ular school work, and is helpful IN
MANY ways as a community builder.
There was good audience in the
court house to hear Mr. Williams and
Miss Walker and both made fine talks
and I have no doubt will result IN
good to those who heard.

Former Gov. Richard |. Manning,
president of the American Products
Export and Import corporation, has
givcn out the following statement:
"The directors and executive Off
GERS of the American Products Ex-
port and Import corporation desire
to express their gratitude and warm
appreciation of the valued services
of the South Carolina branch Of the
American Cotton association, DR.. W.
w. Long and his entire extension

the State Bankers association and all
others who have worked to secure
subscriptions to the capital stock OF
this corporation.
"Dr. Long and his staff are also
giving valuable assistance in the COL
lection of subscriptions to the capital
stock.
"Through the efforts Of all those
who have rendered this service we
have secured large amount of sub
scriptions to the capital stock OF this
corporation. This work has been
done gratuitously, but with the de-
preston caused by the rapid decline
insthe price of cotton it has slowed
down, and subscriptions are not. COM
ing in with sufficient rapidity and
volume tor get UP the desired amount.
"The directors of the corporation
realized that now is the time to or
eanize this corporation and have 1t
begin business. Hence we have OBJ
tanned our charter, but the amount OF
stock sold has not equalled the figure
first planned, and we do not :" think
the work should be\ stretched out

necessary to have men make a close
canvass and reach the individual
farmers and business men, so that
some other method must be employ

THE COMMUNITY FAIR
Smyrna and Mt. Bethel-Garmany
Have Good Booths-Several
Other Very Creditable Ex-
hibits.

The community fair was held last
Friday and Saturday. Only two
schools had exhibits or hooths,
Smyrna and Bethel-Garmany.rMr. l..
C. Pitts had an exhibit from his farm
which was unique and compelte. He
had almost anything that you could
name that will grow in this section
of the country, and that means al
most feverything that is needed for
man and beast. All sorts of good
things to eat, and the display was
such that every farmer in this county
should have seen, so that he might
have been convinced of the fact that
he could if he would grow almost
ANYTHING that he needs on the farm.
The exhibit was in charge of Mr.. q.
O. Eptjng. who %;kcs his nome with
Mr.. Pitts and has charge of the farm
largely.
9Tr. George N. Epting also ihad u
fine exhibit there Of farm products
that was very creditable and was
very complete. DR.. Finney had DIS
play of the health department.
The booths of Bethel-Garmany and
Smvrna were very good and wei! got
ten UP. There was also fiae exhibit
of corn! from the boys corn club.
On Saturday there was q puollc
meeting in the court house and ad-
dresses were made ty Nh. Williams OF
the bows corn club work of the state,
and bv Miss Walker of the girls clubs.
Superintendent Swearingen was pub
l;shed on the program for a speech
hut there seems to have been some
misunderstanding about the invita-
ton to him to be here. So far as l
know he had not been invited. The
managers of the fair seemed to have
been under the impression that IN
vited him, but | did not know that he
was on the program until it was
printed, and in fact never saw the
program until it was printed. And
did not know that he had not been IN
vited by the managers OF the 1air
until Saturday. / did tell MIR. Mills
that 7 would see if | could get some
one to come to speak on education,
but | did not authorize the publlca-
ton of the name of Mr.. Swearlngen.
And as the program was printed
without consulting me, l just con-
cluded that some one else had invited
him and received his acceptance. l
feel that this much should be said IN
Justice ts the absence of Mr.. Swear

The fair arrangements were made
before | came in office and about the
time | went in. and there was so
much to be done to get familiar with
the schools just at the opening that
was kept busy and was very glad
that the county agent and the DEM
onstration agent went ahead with the
fair, and in fact it was their duty
and is in their line, / am willing and
anxious, and in fact it is my slogan,
to cooperate with all the educational
forces in the county. and so far as

PLANS TO BUILD
FIVE ACADEMIES
BAPTIST EDUCATION BOARD
CONSIDERS SITES.
Towns Submit Bids-Commission to
Recommend High Schools at Va
rious Points in State.

iiC ossiSS, ASs.
The Baptist education commission
met in lengthy session in the Sunday
school building of the First Baptist
church yesterday afternoon and
evening. Besides attending to routine
business, there were several PROPOSE
tions for establishing new schools in
different parts of the state. The
Rev. J. T.. Littlejohn presented
statement from the people Of Scran-
ton and the Rev. T. H. Posey repre-
sented a section of Saluda county,
and both of them desired academies
in their respective localities. A COM
mittee from Abbeville presented
memorial making'a very fiattering OF
fer for the location of the proposed
high school for boys in that city.
The members of the commission were
much impressed by the presentation
of the Abbeville proposition by
George T. Barnes, secretary OF the
Abbeville chamber Of commerce. The
committee took the proposition under
advisement and will reach conciu-
sion this morning.
Members of the commission pres
ent at the meeting were: The Rev.
Edward s. Reaves Of Union, presl-
dent; the Rev. Charles A. Jones OF
Columbia, secretary; the Rev. George
w. Quick of Greenville, the Rev. +.
v. Baldy of Hartsville, the Rev. =.

Lee Davis u Lodge, president OF
Lin1eytone college, Gaffney;, e. w.
Skies, president of Cocker college OF
Hartsville, and H. C. Hester OF Tiger
vile, president of the North Green
Vile high school, were present in the
interest of their respective instltu-
tions. =.
The Baptist state convention VIII
meet in this city next week, and the
education commission is now prepar-
ing it's annual report to be presented
/ to that body. The plan in general
embraces the recommendation to es-
tablish FIVE high schools, or 'acade-
mics, for boys and girls and high
grade preparatory school for boys.
One of the academies is to be located
in Horny county, one in the section
represented by Scranton, one IN the
Catawba or Pee Dee section and two
in the lower part of the state. The
preparatory school for boys is to be
located in the upper portion of the
state. 1t is said that it is probable
that an offer will be made from the
Spartan association with reference
/ to having this school located in Spar
tanburg county, and the Abbevllle
proposal is being considered. A
member of the commission said last
night that the proposition from Alb
! beville was very attractive indeed
and the manner of its presentation by
the Abbeville committee made "a
pleasing and favorable impression
mon the entire commission.

failure to have Secretary Houston

It was said today by. the leaders
that in their judgment Mr.. Houston

House This Week.

Washington, Dec. 4.-First steps
toward remedial legislation for farm
ers at the coming session of con-
gress will take the form of con-
current resolution directing 'restora-
ton of the war finance corporation.
This was made clear today in state
ments by Senators Harrison, Missis-
sippi, and Heflin, Alabama, and
Representative Byrnes, South Caro-

The necessity for action by the
president would be avoided, it was
continued, by makirg the resolution
concurrent in form and it would be-
come effective on adoption.
1--WE intend during the first week
of the coming session of congress, y
declared Senator Harrison, "to pass
a resolution directing the secretary
of the treasury to revive the war
finance corporation so that our ag-
ricultural products may be market
able.'
"The South and West have votes
enough in the house and senate to
pass such measure next week"
