THREE LOCAL GIRLS
WORKING FOR RELIEF
OF GERMAN CHILDREN

Betty Blythe, an indianapolis news
paper woman, travelling in Germany,
in letter to the Palladium. dated
Berlin, April IA, says Miss Margaret
knollenberg is working in the Quaker
relief station at Dresden. Miss Caro-
line l.. Nicholson is in charge of the
work in Hamburg, and Miss Alice
Ratliff is also working there.
Miss Blythe Says:
when the Quakers were invited
by Herbert Hoover to take charge
of the feeding of the German children
the opportunity was welcomed with
eagerness. AS members of a religious
body historically opposed to war.
many of them had refused military
service as conscientious DIRECTORS.
But there were those among them who
were not satisfied to give no service
in the time of the worlds greatest
need, and Mr.. Hoovers suggestion
was accepted as an opportunity to
| aid in the reconstruction.
! Prior to the cooperation Of the
| Quakers with the American Relief
| administration, small number of
them had been engaged in extending
what aid they could in Germany, in
fact the first civilians to enter Ger
many were English and American
! Quakers. Relief work had been per
formed in France, Serbia and Russia
but Germany was chosen for the al
tentative demonstration to war. be

COMPULSORY SCHOOL
LAW NOW IN EFFECT

The last Legislature made some
very important changes in the Com
pulsory Attendance Law, especially in
the way it is to be enforced
The present law abolishes the gen
eral attendance officer, and places the
duties upon the school authorities of
the several counties.
At the trustees meeting held here
IN July, it was unanimously agreed
that Clarendon county would have no
attendance officer land that the trus-
tees, together with the county superin-
tendent and teachers would assume
the duties heretofore devolvinr on
the attendance officer.
The law requires eighty (80) con
secutive days of school attendance
from all pupils between the ages of
eight and fourteen years old, and the
trustees of the several school districts
are directed to post three notices i'm
then, respective districts thirty days
in advance giving due notice as TO
when their compulsory period shall
begin.
Every school warrant, issued to anv
teacher thereafter must have attach
cd the teachers report of all absences
IN the compulsory age (8 to l1), and
whether said absences have been eX-
cuscd or mcxcuscd. The trustees
snail then pass upon the reports SO
attached and act in accordance with
the provisions in Section of the law.
The county superintendent is de-
barred from paying any claim not
having attached thereto such report
and 1T is my purpose to make every
effort to carry out the provisions of
the section referred to.
Very few Of the colored schools run
longer than four months with public
funds, hence the entire term of the
average cOlored school will necessarily
be compulsory
hereby ask each and every Board
OF district trustees in the county to
act ON the question at once, decide
JIst when your compulsory period
shall begin, and notify the county
superintendent.
The teachers registers all contain
the compulsory attendance law, and
thcy are asked to inform themselves
ana to cooperate with the other school
oillcmls in the enforcement of the
law.
Trustees are also requested to post
themselves on the law and also to
cooperate. feel sure that we can
get gratifying results if we will ali
work together in the proper spirit
All patrons throughout the county
are asked to lend a helping hand bv
sending every day possible, and
promptly giving your teacher a
plausible excuse for each absence.
Respectfully,
f.. j. Browne,
County Supt. Education.

raising cotton and peanuts and, i'm his
opinion, the cost of raising cotton was
fully double that of raising peanuts.
The county agent of Brooks county is
of the opinion that $4,000 a ton will
cover the cost of raising. peanuts in
his county. He includes land rent in
this estimate. Tho value of the hay
crop, which vii leverage 1000 pounds
per acre, is seldom taken into account
as this is USUALLY fed on the farm.
Those farmers who have made a sur
plus, have always been able to sell it.,
but there is no regular established
market for it.
From what ! have seen and heard, I
am satisfied that the peanut is a crop
that does not hold out much promise
for large profits, but it is a safe
crop and cheap crop. Under pre-
sent boil weevil conditions it is a much
more profitable crop than cotton and
1T would prove still moro profitable if
properly fertiliZed and more care and
attention given to its cultivation.
Shelters and oil mill managers with
whom | talked believe that peanuts
will sell at considerably higher price
before the season is over and they
think the prospect is good for salts
FACTORY prices in the next few years.
l might add here that the recently
established experiment station at Tiff
ton, Ga, is running some experiments
this year to determine the value of
fertilizer for peanuts and they are
also developing an improved White
Spanish which has all of the good
qualities of the original and it has in
addition a much larger pod and three
instead of two peas to each pod. This
is the only effort / know of that is be-
ing made to increase the size and pro-
ductiveness of the White Spanish pea
nut.

PLANT WHEAT

In the last issue of the Manning
Times we estimated the cotton crop
of Clarendon county at 10000 bales
under boil weevil conditions, but we
believe now the estimate is too high
and in our opinion the actual yield
will be less than 5000 bales. This
small yield of cotton makes the fact
palmer than ever that the food we
consume will have to be raised at
home or some other money source will
have to be found besides cotton. We
again advise the planting of wheat
and other winter grain.

HOG SHOW TO BE
HELD OCTOBER 18th

The plans fer the Clarendon Coun-
ty Hog Show seem to be progressing
nicely. There is great interest being
shown by the farmers, and it is con-
fidently expected that we will have a
great show.
l wish to urge every farmer who
possibly can to show some hogs. The
premiums are good, and the advertis-
ing will be worth still more. | hope
that those intending to show will, if
possible, drop me a line i'm advance
stating what they will show. Be sure
to have your hogs at the place or
time.
Mr.. S. D. Sims, Clemson College
Livestock Specialist has been secured
to do the judging. We may therefore
rest assured that this important fea
turc will be well taken care of.
