THE COUNTRY PUBLISHER NOW
PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES

Warren G. Harding, country news
raper publisher, is in the White
House-President of the United
States. He was inaugurated last
Friday. May he become one of the
greatest of American presidents.
Certainly this newspaper pledges its
efforts to help him to that end. He
faces perplexing problems both at
home and abroad. but none so bewii-
dering that it cannot be solved by the
application of correct reasoning and
honesty of purpose. We have an abid-
ing faith in the sound thought of the
American people, and we rejoice be-
cause President Harding, as a pub
Usher, need not be taught the value
of wholesome contact with his fellow
men and women. If he take counsel
with the nation he is pledged to serve
the great voice will not lead him
astray. In the days to come should
we offer facts in criticism of his poll
cies it will come because we fear our
President may err as a result OF
silence. Our wish is to be helpful, to
put at the disposal of the President
the best of our thought always in the
interest of the people to whose serv-
ice the life of this good man is dedi-
Gated. The President of the United
States does not represent the Repub-
lican party, the Democratic party Oh
any other party. He represents
America, and we stand for that with
face upilfted, and unafraid.

. A DEAD PROPAGANDA

The famous "hold your cotton
propaganda which was rampant dur
ing last summer and early fall has
somewhat died out, and we are in
clined to believe that the farmers
would be a great deal better off to-
day had such propaganda never beer
put out. The promoters of the dis
asterous publicity were apparently
never satisfied. When cotton might
have been disposed of at 30c they ad,
vised holding for 35c, then for forty
cents and finally had lot of farmers
believing that the proper thing to dc
was to hold their cotton for SOC OF
60c the pound, just as if there were
to be no end to the wild and reckless
advances that were brought about by
the world war without basis OF rea-
SON, but neither as a matter of course
in the great profteering scheme that
has about run its length, and left pow
erty in its wake.

Rome Book Club.

RHEIMS, March 3.-One of the most
ENJOYABLE occasions of the season
was the Reciprocity meeting of the
Rome Book club which was held at
the lovely home of Mrs. L. F. Rhem
of Morrisville on Wednesday after
noon, March End. Mrs. Rheims spac'
ious home was made even more beau,
tiful at this time by masses of violets
and hyacinths which adorned the re-
ception rooms.
The meeting was called to order by
the president at $3.50 o'clock. AS the
roll was called each member respond
ed with a national current event. Al
ter the minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved, the presi-
dent introduced Mrs. ]. w. Doar, OF
Georgetown, who had been invited to
address the club. Mrs. Doar spoke
interestingly of the work and plans
of the various organizations of women
in this state. Special emphasis was
placed upon the educational work the
clubs are doing and the fact was not
ed that three colleges of the state
winthrop, Converse, and the Univer,
sity of South Carolina) are studying
the course in citizenship which the
Rome Book club has adopted. After
Mrs. Doars talk was concluded, Mrs
Rhem rendered a beautiful vocal solo
which was appreciated by all present
Mrs. Eaddy of Johnsonville was mex:
introduced to the meeting. Mrs. Fad
dy's message was one of encourage
ment and commentator for the work
this club is doing. The vital part OF
her talk was of child welfare and OF
ways and means to improve the con-
ditions under which children grow up
in South Carolina. By rising vote
of thanks the club unanimously ex-
pressed its appreciation of these two
excellent talks. Mrs. w. c. Rollins
played an exquisite piano solo at the
close of the meeting.
The social hour was greatly enjoy,
ed by all present. The hostess ssrv'
ed delightful courses of salad and ices
Besides the members of the club, there
were a number of guests invited tc
enjoy the meeting. Among them were
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w. Doar and Mrs
La Bruce of Georgetown, Mrs. Eaddy
of Johnsonville, Rev G. K. Way OF
RHEIMS, Miss Lucille Turbeville and
Mr.. William Chandler of Henry and
others.

The Lane School

Mr.. Editor:
AS there has been great deal SAID
lately through your paper and else
where against the Lane school, l
would like to say few words IN be-
half of the school, that we have a
strong faculty and under the leader
ship of Prof. Kirkley, who is one of
the best principals we have ever hal.
I feel sure tie work done here will
compare very favorably with that OF
any five teacher school in the county,
and if Mr.. Taxpayer or anyone else
that thinks otherwise will come and
spend awhile in the school so rs to
be able to get first hand information,
I think tina: they will find that I am
correct.
I also understand that there was
a delegation from Lane over to see
our Superintendent of Education 4
few days ago to find out what dis
position was being made of the mon
ey collected from the music depart
ment in the school. Now wish to
say to these gentlemen that we have
a hightoned lady in charge of this de-
partment and that she has always
turned in the money as fast as col
lected and am in a position to show
where every cent of it has been plac-
ed, and have always been glad to
furnish this information to any one
who was interested in the school.

sons present, big folk, r:iG,nc si~ed
folks, and little folks. And a nicer
crowd there never was. Every one
entered into the spirit of the thing
and played beautifully. The big folks
forgot their dignity and were just
as frolicsome as the little folks.
Play is a wonderful thing. 1t
makes one forget his troubles and
forget that he is growing old. Parti-
cularly in these hard times is it de-
sirable that we should forget our
worries for a few minutes and get a
little pleasure out of life. The end
of the world has not come yet and
may be Just as far off as ever. So
why go around with long face?
Besides putting a little variety in
life these Play Parties foster a get
together spirit, and no one can deny
that this is very much needed and
very useful thing. BY getting to-
gether for pleasure we may get into
the habit of working together for the
great things of life.
Miss McMurray and Miss Warn were
asked to come to Cedar Swamp, Fri
day night, March II, and give Play
Party there. This invitation was
gladly accepted and is extended to
all the people of that community.
The games will start at seven, p. m.
1t is hoped that these parties can be
given in several of the communities
over the county. Any of the
schools wishing to have one will
please communicate with either of
the above named persons.

farmers of the cctton belt will again
enjoy forty cent prices for their cot
ten, OF even twenty-five cents. The
war is over. A tremendous crop is
still on hand, mostly in warehouses at
an expense that is eating it up.
Things are coming back to normally.
to nearly ple-war conditions, and there
is no way TO stop the trend. The only
feasible and proper thing to 90 as
we see it, is to get rid of the cotton
on hand as soon as there is a market
open to it at a price equal to thai
prevailing in 1913. Of course this
would cause considerable loss, but We
have all got to take a loss and the
sooner we do it and get new, fresh
start the better off the country and
the individual will be. Make your
cotton 90 as far as it will towrads
paving off Indebtedness, but let it go,
every day you hold it you are getting
in the hole deeper, by way Of ware
house and insurance ch irges.
We may be wrong in our views,
| u. of late have talked with Il num-
btr of good business men, and with
cne accori they acclaim that "there
viii be no relief in the cotton bell
until the farmers turn loose their cot
:on."

NOT NECESSARY.

Although The County Record is re-
ceiving lot of propaganda these
days relative to the farmers reducing
their cotton acreage, just as was the
case last year, when We disseminated
the advise to no profitable result. Mr.,
Farmer thought he saw forty and fif-
ty cent cotton ahead, planted more
cotton than ever. some doubling their
acreage instead of reducing it. f".'7
cents cotton prevailed until about the
time the 1920 crop was ripening then
the price flickered, and has continued
to flicker until there is scarcely any
thing at all offered for it today. All
this Pickering came about in the face
of a persistent and tireless endea, or
to get the farmers to hold their COT
ton for a price even above the forty
cent point.
The County Record does not deem
it necessary to advise the farmers OF
Williamsburg county to plant less cot
ton this spring. We believe them to
be fairly intelligent men, and feel sat
isfed that they will reduce their cot
ton acreage without being urged to
do so. But should they not reduce
the acreage and plant the usual crop
a lack of fertilizer will cause the re-
duction if the bool weevil should fail
