are passing through one of the most
critical periods of their career.
Pickols county is rapidly forging
ahead in educational lines which is
evidenced by reports reaching us
concerning two rural schools of the
county. One of these schools is Mar
vim Chapel, located four miles east of
Carrollton, and gives promise of be-
coming noted institution. Some
thing like year ago an effort was
made to consolidate the other schools
of that territory with Marvin Chapel
and maintain a consolidate school, but
opposition was encountered and the
matter was finally thrashed out with
the county board Of education, who
decided that it should be made con-
solidated school, and those interested
began the task of raising the neces-
sary funds, with state aid to build a
house for the purpose of taking care
Iof their needs. AS a result a $4,000
building was erected with five rooms
and three teachers are employed to
teach the seventy-five pupils who at
tend the institution. Prof. r. II,
Hickey, who was the principal this
session just closed, has been re-elect-
ed for another term with an increase
in salary to supplement the public
fund Another is the 0lney school,
located ten miles southeast of Car
rollton, which has developed from a
small one-teacher school to a three
teacher school, all holding first
grade certificate. Prof. h. r. Shell
ton, a native of this county, has been
the principal of this institution for
the past two sessions and so we'll
pleased are the patrons with his work
that desperate effort is being made
to secure his services for another
term, a. home and forty acres of land
having been rendered him as bonus
to return and take up the work.

Big FREIGHT RATES
DISCOURAGE TRADE
SENATOR SMITH CITES FIGURES
IN LETTER. READ ON THE
SENATE FLOOR.

| That the high freight rates are re-
tarding business development in the
country is evidenced by the number
of kicks being registered by men and
organizations in position to know,
Senator Smith, of South Carolina, de-
clared on the floor of the senate re-
Gently that he had received num-
ber of communications as to the
present disastrous freight rates." In
a plea for thorough investigation of
the railroad problem he quoted from
letters to show the sentiment of the
producers and shippers in this state.
The great increase in transportation
charges is hurting the trucking in
terests along the South Carolina coast.
This is clearly shown in a letter from
M. H. Lazarus Company, of Charles
ton, to Senator Smith. This concern
filed a protest in behalf of the farm
ers in South Carolina who depend on
the eastern markets to handle their
products. Under the heading, "Smith
Blames Freight Rates." the Traffic
World" of Chicago, has the following
to say regarding the senator's re-
marks:
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
member of the senate interstate COM
merce committee, said in speech in
the Senate, April 21, that he had re-
ceived many communications "as to
the present disastrous freight rates"
"I have letter here from Sumter,
S. c., under date Of April 49," said he,
"in which a large lumber dealer states
that he shipped carload of pulp
wood from Lynchburg, S. G., my old
home, to Sumter, S. c., distance of
19 miles, five cords to the car, and
the freight charge for the distance of
10 miles was $140.
"I also have g. letter from another
individual shipping pulpwood into
Sumter from another angle, distance
of 13 miles, and the charge on the
carload of pulpwood was $9t. The
charge was $140 for 19 miles and 500
for the 13 miles.
"In addition to this l have letter
from the M. H. Lazarus Company, of
King and Hasell streets. Charleston,

ion, in reference to the shipment of
truck from the great trucking indus
