grades. Unfortunately Greelyville
could not qualify for the state high
school aid, owing, for one thing, to
the very small sixth and seventh
grades, which do not have sufficient
pupils to form a nucleus for a high
school. Steps should be taken by the
Greelyville people to get some near
by school to consolidate with Greely-
vile, so as to have a sufficient num-
ber of pupils to form nucleus for a
high school. There is great need for
a high school at Greelyville, as a
large scope of country around is now
left without high school facilities.

On Friday, l visited the school at
Cades. Here l found an excellent
building which could accommodate four
teachers, and even five if necessary,
but in which there were only three
teachers. The school was doing good
work. Sanitary conditions are going

| wish to call attention to the num-
Der of one teacher schools in Williams
burg county. Most of the country
schools are of these types. Now, it
is high time that our country people
should realize that the country chill
dren cannot be educated in schools OF
this type. A one-teacher school can
teach successfully only seven grades
and a two-teacher school can teach
successfully only eight grades What
are our country children going to do
after they have completed ~" """'-
in such schools? There are only two
things that can be done: Either have
centralized high schools every ten OF
twelve miles apart, to which hlgh
schools the country children can 60
after completing the course in the
one and two-teacher schools; or, con-
solidate the one and two-teachel
schools into schools of four and hve
teachers, these schools having good
male principals if possible, and a year.
" session of eight months. In nc
other way can we give to OH Country
children the education they d:serve
and should have. Ignorance and pre]u-
dice are the twc things tat keep
country communities from uniting and
having the schools their children
should have. Any community should
be willing to give something better
for their children. l hope that the
country people everywhere will wake
up the situation and prepare to edu-
cate their children, VINO -;eseNe just
as good education as do the town and
CITY children. If it is better Tor
Kingstree to have Is teachers IN one
building, why is it not better for the
country schools to have more teach
ers in each school: D L. Lewis.

NAZARETH BAYAJIAN COMING
Native of Armenia to speak at Bap-
tist Church Sunday Night.

The people of Kingstree will get a
frst-haad view of the terrible condi-
tions now prevailing in Armenia when
Nazareth Aria Boyajian, Z native of
that country speaks here next Sunday
night in the Baptist church. Mr.. Boy
ajian has just returned 10 South Car
olina, having stopped in New York for
a conference with the Near East Re-
lief Workers.
Mr.. Boyjian declared that condi-
tions in Armenia are almost indcs-
criable. Discussing the situation he
is quoted as saying: "We are killed;
we are tortured; we are hung; we are
starving, first of all because we are
Christians. We are Christians of
ages; we are the original Christians;
we have been fighting 1900 years.
Mr.. Boyjian will tell the people OF
Kingstree the conditions that prevail
in Armenia today. He has fought in
the wars in Armenia. He has seen
the horrors; has seen the starvation;
seen men torn asunder, seen women
carried away captive, seen husbands
killing their wives when the Turks
came to snatch them away. He has
seen mothers take their children in
bags and flee to save them.
The people of Kingstree will hear
a message they will not soon forget
when they hear Mr.. Boyjian next
Sunday.

Schools Facing Critical Condition

Editor County Record:
! give below letter of Mr.. ]. E.
Swearingen, State Supt. of Education.
It will be seen from this letter that
there is grave doubt of the state max
ing good as to its guarantee of the
school term under the equalizing act.
Nearly all of our schools are run on
the basis of this act high schools as
well as others. The act is simply a
guarantee of a seven months term
for all schools levying at least 8 mills
and enrolling 25 pupils for each teach
er and maintaining an average at
tendance of at least Is. Last year
the appropriation was not sufficient,
and Williamsburg schools were left in
debt to the extent of nearly $4,000 Of
claims approved by the state super
intendent of education. If the arpro-
priation of this year is not sufficient
to cover this, and also to take care
of demands under the act for the pre-
sent year financial conditions will be
deplorable. This equalizing aid IS
never available until about June 1.
Heretofore have been willing to bank
on the states guarantee of seven
months term. Under the present con-
Gi1ions the situation is serious.
J. G. Mccullough,
County Superintendent of Education.
MIR. Swearingen's Letter
Supt. j. G. Mccullough,
Kingstree, S. c,
Dear sir:
The postponement of taYc' has been
authorized by the Legislature. This
will seriously affect the schools.
Teachers, trustees and county super
irtendents should look carefully into
their school finances. Trustees have
no right to borrow money or run in
to debt. This should be impressed
upon the trustees of Williamsburg
county, because this feature Of the law
has been disregarded IN your territory.
1t is equally harmful for any coun-
ty board of education to borrow dur
ing February, March April, May,
June and July. Since your term ex-
pires June 3Oth, it is emphatically nee
essary that you close your admins
tration without any unpaid debts.
The action of the Legislature with
regard to state aid has not yet been
determined l hope sufficient funds
will be allowed to carry out the sew
eral laws. 1t does not seem now that
this will be the case with respect to
the Equalizing Law. insufficient
funds have been allowed on account
of the 1920 deficit and insufficient
funds have likewise been allowed on
account of the equalization law for
1921. Yours respectfully
]. E. SwearingeA
- State Supt. of Education

MOLASSES FOR DAIRY STOCK
Especially Valuable Where Cows Are
Not Permitted to Exercise
Replaces Green Feed.

One of the helps Of the livestock
feeder which is being used more gen
orally every day is the crude. or low
grade, molasses from a sugar mill.
The value Of the feed has been found
to be not only in the actual nutrition
content, as indicated by the analysis,
but because of it's quality-not exact-
ly succulency, but akin to that-which
makes it an appetizer: Especially is
it valuable where the COWS are not
permitted to run on pasture or where
they are not permitted to exercise.
The molasses acts both as digester
and tonic and takes the place of green
feed which tends to keep the cows
healthy and increases all their normal
functions, such as the milk producing
powers. Then, too, dairy COWS which
are confined in small areas often lose
their appetites, and when they do milk
production naturally drops off. BY
adding a little ,molasses to the ration
they will regain their appetites and be-
sides eat more than they did without
the molasses, which of course in
creases their milk production.

Senator Harding was elected by
the greatest landslide in the history

LIBERAL feeding URGED

Dairy extensionists and au-
thorities at University farm, st.
Paul, Mimi, are agreed that a
policy Of liberal feeding with
dairy cattle is profitable and
should be pursued wherever cir
cumstances make it possible.
The Importance Of adequate
feeding has been shown time
and time again. In one in
stance. which may now be cited,
feeding costs were increased in
a year from S53 per COW to $S3,
but the income from each COW
increased from $129 to S21S in
the same interim. so that for
an extra expenditure Of $50
profits were increased $50 per
COW.

GREED WORSE THAN POVERTY
Former Always Fruitful Of Evil, While
the Latter Is Often Incentive
to Thrift.

=
The fear of poverty is not in itself
bad thing, writes DR.. Charles Au-
brey Eaton in Leslie's. 1t may become
the mother of thrift. 1t acts as spur
to endeavor, and some men. like some
horses. do their best under the spur.
Poverty is not always an unmixed
evil. In fact, 1t is and has been looked
upon as one of the distinctly Christian
virtues, although there seems to be
rather a feeble desire to practice this
particular grace.
Greed, on the other hand. is always
bad. It is plainly the outcropping of
the hog in human nature. 1t is the
fear Of poverty run amuck. It Is II.
Illustrated by the drunkard who often
had too much but never got enough.
Greed Is at the bottom Of most of our
troubles today and has been equally
fruitful Of evil in every age and among
every class. We can never come to
permanent social peace while the fear
of poverty embitters one-half the peo-
pie and greed drives the other half to
self-destruction Nor will it get us
anywhere TO infect the whole popula-
tion with the greed germ and turn So
ciety into glOrified trough.
