Sandy Bay School Closes.

The Sandy Bay school located in
what is known as the Mckenzie set
tlement closed its session last Friday
night with an interesting and highly
creditable program of exercises by the
pupils. The school was taught by
Mrs. Lille Mckenzie whose work, and
untiring efforts in its behalf nave won
for her very favorable comment from
friends and patrons OF the school. The
session just closed is pronounced a
success due in great measure to Mrs
McKenzie's interest and her ability to
overcome such obstacles as possibly
confronted her.
At the closing exercises Friday ev-
ening the children showed that they
had been we'll and carefully trained
The Rev. John WI Davis was the
speaker for the occasion and he made
an excellent talk. The program as
rendered follows:

CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
IN KINCSTREE
CARES CAST ASIDE FOR PLEAS
URE AND PROFITABLE
RECREATION.

The five-day program of the Red
path Chatauqua, opened in Kingstree
last Saturday afternoon as previous
ly advertised in the columns of The
County Record. The opening Satur-
day afternoon marked the second visit
of Redpath artists to Kingstree, and
while the financial end of their en-
gagement has not been easy sailing
for the guarantors this year as it was
last, owing to the great change
wrought by time in the financial con-
dition of the country in general, there
has been no lack of interest in each
performance on the part of those who
are attending. So far every number
on the program has been of the high
est order, each and every performer
an artist of exceptional ability in his
or her particular role.
The first of the series to come to
US was the Nipple concert Co. This
company is composed OF four real art
lists. Mr.. Nipple the head, is styled
the "Wizard of the Xylophone". In
his performances here he made clear
his entitlement to the distinction, and
most certainly he is not a novice in
handling the numerous other instru-
ments used by him in the course of
the concert. And if he is a wizard
of the xylophone what is he with
respect to the trombone and Saxo-
phone? The entire performances OF
the Nipple combination was of a high
degree of excellence.
The lecture Saturday night by MIR.
George L. McNutt, at once a very able
and distinguished gentleman, was
pronounced to be worth the price of
a season ticket. His subject was "The
War on Hunger. He is bitterly ar
rayed against fraud, sham and decep-
tion, not because an Orlando, Florida
dealer sold him a basket of what ap-
peared from the top layer to be staw-
berries of very fine quality and below
the surface proved to be anything
else, but on general principles and in
whatever line OF social or commercial
endeavor. His discourse was thorough
ly interesting, with humorous sgarnish-
ments enough to make it pleasing.
Miss Irene Stolofsky was the sec
ond day attraction with a delightful
lecture in the evening by Mr.. Harry
L. Fogleman, perhaps the most rapid
and at the same time distinct speaker
on the lecture platform in this coun-
try. He is magnetic speaker and
for one hour and a quarter he held his
audience spell-bound with discussion
Of the fundamentals of success in life
and in business. His subject was
"Success or Failure. Mr.. Fogleman
was suffering from the effects of
bad Geld while here. He was accom-
panied by his wife.
Miss Stolofsky is violinist, and
an artist in her line. Aside from her
ability as a musician Of merit, she is
a charming young lady.
Tuesday, the third day, Dunbar's
White Hussars, musical organiza-
ton, composed of nine males, Mr.. Al
Sweet being the director. Each of
the members is high-class artist ard
the evening program vas replete with
versatility of the performers. In con-
nection with the afternoon co':cert by
the White Hussars, Mrs. Beulah Buck
very delightfully."- entertained the aud-
ience with readings and imperscna-
tions.

An effort will be made to obtain

of each house is necessary to submits
sion Of an amendment to the states,
approval by three-fourths of which is
necessary to adoption.
Incorporation of the proposed

from women the same rights as men
in the possession and disposition Of
property, control of minor children,
freedom Of contract, choice Of domi-

WAY OF RAISING MULE COLTS
Best Plan Is TO Put Them on Feed
After WEAVING and Never Retard
Best Growth.

The older way of raising mules was
% turn them out at weaving time
and practically let them rough it until
three years old, then get them up,
wild as deer, for shearlng and then
either span them out to break or put
them in the pen for fattening as un-
broken stuff. Nowadays the mule colt
is put on feed almost before weaving
and is never allowed to stop his grow
ing until he is ready for the harness,
which time is reached year sooner
oy the new method than by the old.
The mule at two is a good work ami
NAL, but care must be taken not to
overdO him at that age, and 1t is best
not to put a two-year-Old in as a
regular" until he is we'll accustomed
to the work, better still, don't crowd
the yOungster until he is three, when
ae will have attained quite a bit of
that strength and grit that makes
him the marvel of the working world.

VERY FEW REAL RUNTS BORN
Understood and Unthrifty Animals Are
Generally Result of Inadequate
Feed and Care.

Emphasizing that runty live stock
are generally the result Of inadequate
feed, housing and care, the editor Of a
farm paper in the Central West adds
to the experiences which nearly 1000
farmers have already reported to the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture on the subject of runt prevention.
"There are very few real runts
BORN" he declares. "They may be a
little understood, perhaps a trifle
weaker and sometimes Of inferior con-
stitution, brought on by improper
breeding systems. But poor housing,
limited range, getting rooted away
and cheated by the larger and huskier
Of the litter-these are the agencies
by which most so-called runts are
formed. Given proper care and feed
until they get a start, the runts will
prove money-makers."
These comments agree closely with
the opinions Of others who contribut-
ed their experiences in the matter to
the department. Particular care needs
10 be given live stock at weaving
time, since this is the time when the
dams fail to give the nOurishment re-
quired by the growing animal and
when the young stock is learning to
eat other feed

American Luckiest Man in the World

HOOD, shelter, clothing, and other
necessities and hundreds of com
forts and luxurles now are within
the reach of residents of the United
States at far lower costs than in any
other country in the world. This is
shown for the first time in history in
data collected by the federal reserve
board. America has always been the
land of high wages and high prices
Wages throughout the United
States, despite wholesale reductions,
still are higher than anywhere else in
the world. Prices of virtually all
commodities at the same time are at
record low levels in this country COM
pared with European nations.
The general level of wholesale
prices throughout the United States is
approximately Al per cent above the
level of the prewar period. But in
other countries wholesale levels, ac-
cOrding to the reports to the federal
reserve board, are: Italy, 400 per
cent above the prewar period; United
Kingdom, 100; France, 232; Germany,
1,467; Sweden, III; Denmark, 1873;
