ANENT SUMTER'S RURAL
SCHOOLS.

THE growth of Sumter's schools has
- been phenomenal. Just one year
ago thirty-three one and two-teacher
schools for the white children eked
out poor existence in a half ham
mered sort of way that was discour-
aging to all lovers of educational
progress Now nine schools only are
provided for and soon these nine will,
it is to be hoped, be reduced to five.
This is the dream of the earnest mem
bers of the Board of Education. Vo-
cational training is to be a great fea-
ture for the future. When a youth
graduates at one of our schools, he
will be trained in those things that fit
him best for life's duties. The 18th
land district comprises all that fertile
section northeast of Americus There
never was a well-graded school in all
this vast territory, simply because the
school interest was split into numer-
Gus small schools. The Board of Edu-
cation have consolidated the New Era,
Oak Grove, Pleasant Grove, Gammage
and Johnson school districts into one
large consolidated district that will
enable these people to have one of
the largest, best equipped and best
taught schools in the whole south.
These people can issue $4,000 of
bonds to build school house, and
never feel the pressure of taxes.
The school truck to carry the child
rem to and from school will soon be in
active use and this district school will
be taught by seven or eight of the
best teachers that money can pro-
cure.
Land values will then swell to
larger proportions and no greater,
better or prouder people will ever
command a superior country graded
school than this will be.

SHALL SUMTER BE CAPTUR.
ED BY LEE COUNTY?

THE Board Of EducatlOn of Sum-
ter county have very perplexing
problem before them. It seems that
the people of Williams school district,
which is on the southern border of
Sumter county are not satisfied with
Sumter's schools. They do not want
to join the Lyseon school district,
where the Thompson school is taught.
They do not care to patronize the
school at Sumter. They ask that this
school district may be Joined onto the
Smithville school district and be
made part of it. The law of Geor-
gia provides that a school district in
one county may overlap and take in
territory in a surrounding county, If
the boards of education of the two
counties agree. The petition present
ed by Mr.. John Williams, contains
the names of almost every voter IN
Williams district. This is why the
board is troubled over it.
The Board of Education of Sumter
county are very reluctant to agree to
give any of the school territory OF
Sumter to Lee county. However,
they have not referred the petition,
and while they are anxious that VIII
liams district be retained in Sumter,
it is not improbable that so large a

PENNINGTON
SCHOOL DISTRICT

A t the January session of the Coun
~ty Board of Education, Penning-
ton school district was added to An
Jacksonville district. The board ex-
pressed the earnest wish that a large
school be built up at Andersonville
and that it would be one of the five
great schools of Sumter county.
Pennington school district, how
ever, are not all satisfied. There are
some of her citizens petitioning that
Pennington be added to the New Era
Consolidated district. Inasmuch as
the Acts of 1910 of Georgia provide
that when a school district is once
changed that it cannot be again
changed within twelve months, there
can be no more change for Penning-
ton district during the year 1920.
When any change in district is once
made the law fixes its status for a
twelve months to remain as placed.
This consolidation of the school
districts of the county is a great
work and our people are joining in
the work periodically and unselfshly.
While every man cannot get school
house within a stones throw of his
dwelling, it is certain that the pres
ent plans are the best that ever have
yet been devised for uplifting of our
county.

ter petition may possibly carry the

not yet appear.
The Thompson school is we'll kept,

will soon be greatly enlarged and

AN ECHO OF BEET
GROWING LONG AGO
Former Blackfoot Man
Writes of His Exper-
fences in Line in
Past Years.

W. D. Trego has been wintering
at Phoenix, Ariz., and studying Or
ganization in agriculture after long
period Of very active work in organi-
cations, and he writes to express his
interest in the beet sugar situation
after fourteen years OF leaving it
alone. In 1906 he was growing beets
at Blackfoot and on Lost river, and
planted more acres than any other
man in the state, but he did not
harvest the most beets. He had not
learned beets well enough to go into
it on a large scale, and had not
learned the one fundamental, that
each acre must produce large ton
mage or the grower would be
swamped, regardless of how much
per ton he received for his beets. At
that time the growers were getting
$3.50 a ton for beets and he made
up his mind that man might wear
out his lifetime at the job and never
get anything ahead, so he said there
ought to be substantial advance in
the price of beets, or farmers might
better quit. The sugar company de-
clined to revise the contract and the
price, so Trego quit, and tore up his
contracts. The sugar company felt
that they could operate their factory
without him, and they did. He felt
that he could make some kind Of
fortune without raising beets and he
did. The editor of The Republican
differed with his brother in one thing
he said that the grower would have
to get more tons per acre than the
average growers were producing or it
would swamp the farmers and the
factory too, and that concessions
