SCHOOL NEWS

The Parent-Tcacher Association had
very interesting meeting last week.
Miss Moore, community nurse, and
Mr.. j. *. Brccdin each made very in
tercsting talks
The third grade was given half
holiday for having more parents pre-
sent than any other grade.
Mrs. Brecdin, teacher of the third
grade, gave the children of her grade
and their mothers very pleasant
"at home" at the Parent Teachers
meeting. The third prepared a nice
program and best of all delightful re-
freshmcnts for their mothers.
l guess we won't here so much about
fun and frolc this week, as mid-term
examination will be in full blast.
One group of Camp Fire Girls has
been organized recently by Miss
Shulcr as guardian. The girls arc
very enthusiastic about the organiza-
ton and have already begun work in
earnest. AS the Camp Fire is as near
Il self supporting organization as it is
possible to be, the girls, have begun
the work Of earning money for their
dues and outfit in all seriousness by
selling sandwiches at the school house
at recess. Last week they put into
the treasury about $4,000.
Camp Fire is an organization which
not only is self supporting but through
which the girls learn about many
things which tend to make them all
round wholesome girls. The spiritual
nature is appealed to through nature
study and the forms and ceremonies
which they use all of which you see is
closely connected with the religious
side also. They are especially urged
and taught how TO make and keep high
health standards. The watch word Of
the Camp Fire is "Givc Service" which
we are going to emphasize as we live
up to the high standard we have set
for ourselves.

KILLS FREE RANCE:
FOR GEORGETOWN
HOuse Also Refuses to Exempt Town
ships in Beaufort.
SPIRITED DEBATE IS HELD
Committee Makes Unfavorable Report
on Bill Ito Censor Motion
Pictures.

Columbia, JAN, 24.-Thc House of
Representatives tonight decisively
stamped it's dissapproval on individual
counties having a free range by re
lectmg bills cxempting Georgetown
Beaufort counties from the general
stock law. A bill by J. Hutto West,
or Georgetown county, calling for
tree range was rejected by a vote of
81 to 2S and one by J. c. Bailey, of
Beaufort exempting the townships of
YemaSsee and Blutfton from the pto-
visions of the law was rejected by a
vote of 45 to 32
The Bailey bill lalready had received
ITS second reading without a contest
when an extended debate on the West
measure was prccipitatcd After the
Georgetown bill had been defeated tie
BAILEY bill was reconsidcrcd and
thrown out.
The split in the Georgetown delega
tion on the question of the stock law
tonight prccipitated general debate
IN which many members participated.
soon after the House convened after
resting from last Friday.
Hillard Tredcll of GEORGETOWN. in
his argument said that three elections
had been held in the county on the
question of free range, the first going
for stock law by a majority of 81
and the second by majority of 200.
The tirst election had been declared
Illegally The third election resulted in
q victory for the free rangers. This
last election, he declared "to have been
permeated with rotten politics" and
was illegal, although allowed to stand.
Arguing that the development of the
county depended on it's being under
the general stock law which was
passed by the last General Assembly
and directed Georgetown County to
come. under its provisions October I,
1920, MIR. lIillard contendcd for the
rejection Of the West bill. He said
that there could be no adequate stock
raising in the county unless the rang
eS were incloscd, for cattle ranging
over the county dctcrioratcd in strain
and m many instances brands other
than that OF the owner were often put
on newborn cattle and shoats.
Arguing from the moral aspects Mr..
lllllard contcndcd that it was not right
Just or legal for one man to pay taxes
.on 900 acres of land and his next
door ncighbor, who has one acre. to
have the same privileges on the larger
tract that its owner had. He likewise
declared that there were many acres
OF cleared land in his county that were
uncultlvated because Of the free range
the owners not caring to be put to the
expense of nclosing large tracts and
unless they did this roaming cattle
would destroy their crops
lhe speaker read a number of let
ters from men in Georgetown county
saying that it would be mistake to
exempt the county from the general
stock law.

SCIENTIFIC MERCHANDISING

Science has won the war and beat
the Germans. Science made it possible
for a simple human being to float in
the air like a bird, by the use of
science our Southern product--cotton,
can be made into sillcn garments and
by the use of science and honest deal
ings merchandise is being cleared
from the shelves defying the general
belief Of the scarcity OF money.
This has been demonstrated by The
Battery, of Sumter, and their genial
manager, Sol Krasnoff.
1t was an unusual sight in Sumter
last Friday and Saturday to see the
throngs, hungry for cheap goods,
crowding the big store opposite the
Claremcnt Hotel, and the bundles, all
wrapped in yellow paper, which is the
color scheme of The Battery, coming
out the store in hundreds and hund-
reds, like a Gtreak of yellow gold
amidst the black mountains.
At times the store was so crowded,
that there was no room to walk in,
and the capacity of the clerical force
was almost exhausted, there were six
teen statesmen and eleven salesladics
at work, with the cashier and two
they could not accommodate
Che waiting crowds and hundreds of
people went away to come back and
find the congestion undated.
1t is said that about twenty thous-
and dollars worth of merchandise, up
on which five thousand dollars of caSh
was realized by The Battery in two
days, which accounts for this great
uprOar
This merchandise was partly de-
stroyed and some slightly damaged
by fire on the 22nd Of Dec, and put
on sale on the 21st of January. This
sale will continue through the whole
month of February.
In addition to this goods, big
stock Of new merchandise was secur-
ed by The Battery, at forced sale,
and the management will put this
goods on s9!c within the next ton
days, and will be priced on about the
same basis, so that the crowds will
haze plenty of fun, in witnessing some
more OF the thousands of practical
shoppers after big bargains.
