It is stated that in many localities
in York county the farmers are al
ready prepared for the approach of
the boil weevil, and that could have
been the condition of the farmers in
many other places in the state if they
had believed that the boil weevil was
coming, but every year they would
argue that the pest will not come this
year, and we will make one more big
crop of cotton. And so it went. The
farmer who has his own corn and
meat and -four and is not in debt and
holding his CO ton for yhich he could
have received a much bigger price
than it is now worth, is not in so bad
a shape. And he can go on making
crop. And then with the proper
sort of cultivation, you can make cot
ton at a profit even with the pest
here, but it is not best to depend
on cotton altogether, as too many
farmers have done.
Sow plenty of grain and make your
own food for man and beast. Then
plant what cotton you can properly
cultivate.
And there has been lots of grain
planted this fall and more is being
planted and it is looking well, and
that is good.

AMONG THE SCHOOLS

On November 3 the school house
at Vaughnville for the white children
was destroyed by fire and everything
was lost. The school was in session
at the time and it was just before the
hour for dismissal. In fact Miss Sa-
ra Watkins the teacher was having
the last lessons for the day when the
fire was discovered. 1t seems to have
started from the chimney. There
had been f. m the CRATE that day
as the stove pipe was out of order.
The fire was first discovered by one
of the children as the smoke came
from crack in the ceiling next to
the chimney. 1t burned so rapidly
after it started that the teacher had
scarcely more time than to get the
little children out. She and one or
two of the larger children did man.
age to save one or two of the desks,
but her main concern was to see that
all the children were safe, and this
was entirely proper. She gave the
alarm by screaming and few of the
nearby residents got there in time to
see it burn, but there was no way to
save the building. 1t is a compara-
lively new building being erected IN
1919, I think it was. We had insnr-
ance of only $3.50 on the building
and $3.50 on the contents. 1t was a
total loss and the insurance will not
restore the building. Mr.. NJ. j. Miller
the secretary of the state sinking
fund commission came over on Tues
day following, and I went over with
him to look it over, and he was con-
vinced that it was a total loss and
the check for the insurance has al
ready been received. 1t is the pur-
pose of the trustees to erect a new
building at once, and | am going over
there on Friday of this week to de-
eide on location and plans for the new
building, and hope to begin work on
the construction just as soon as pos
sible. l would be glad to see the peo-
pie up here erect real community
building that would answer for the
school room, and also for the COM
munity meetings and entertainments
they might desire to have from time
to time, and 1 would like to see the
construction Of brick. In fact that is
what we should use in the erection of
all school buildings.

We notice from the Anderson
Daily Mail that there is talk of dis
continuing the operation of the Pick
ems railroad. The trucks and the au-
tos have so taken the traffic that the
road can not make expenses and
the manager of the road announces
that unless the people patronize the
road Pickens will soon be without a
railroad.
This leads us to remark what we
have thought of before, that unless
the heavy trucks are taken off the
present highways, we will soon have
no highways, and there will be no
railroads, because the traffic by
trucks is taking good bit of freight
from the roads and much travel also.
We would be in bad shape if the rail
roads were all put out of business for
lack of merchandise to haul, and with
the heavy trucks that are now being
built and operated on our ROADS we
will not have any roads very long.
1t is all right to use the present road
with a truck of reasonable tonnage
but with the great big ones that are
being made and placed on the roads
there will not be roads very long.
Where there have not been built
concrete bridges over the bitches and
drains and streams there are nc
bridges now that are safe for any
sort Of vehicle,

While I was up that side On Friday
to look after the fire and to see just
how it originated l stopped over at
the colored fair at the negro school at
Vaughnville, which was being held on
Friday and Saturday of the same
week. The. exhibits at this fair We're
very creditable and only show what
the people can do if they will. There
were fine displays Of canned goods of
all varieties, and good deal of nice
needle and fancy work done by the
negroes. This school has pulled itself
together and gone to work in the
right direction, and is calculated to
do good work in the community. So
far as I am able to judge the negroes
are working together and cooperat-
ing with the white people of the COM
munity, and have the endorsement of
the white people in their work. 1T
is undertaking to do vocational train
ing work and is under. the direction
of the federal and state aid for this
work, as directed by Mr.. Verd Peter
son.
George Grigsby is in charge of the
school and seems to be working along
the correct lines and has the united
support of all the negroes in the dis
trict. l brought from the fair jar
of roasting ear corn put up in the cob
which looks mighty good to me, and
have it at the Office where I would be
glad to let any one see it who may
be interested.

In going over to Vaughnville I went
around by Dominick's so that l might
make stop and visit to the Mudlic
school. 1t is pity that the people
of this section can not be made to
see the Importance of doing some
thing to improve the school condi-
tions for the children of this commu-
nifty. The house that is called a
school house is utterly unfit for use.
suggested last year when | was up
there that it would be the right thing
to unite that, part of the Vaughnville
district that has united with some
district in Laurens, and build nice
two room house out there about Mr..
Hollingsworth's or Mr.. P. n. Booz-
er's, and with part of the lower
end of ,Mudlic cut eff into some other
district there could be established a
two teacher school and the children
could be given the advantages to
which they have right. There are
only about fifteen children in the
present Mudlic school, ut<swith the
children that are now going to Laur,
ems we might have a good school.
am going to take the matter up agair
when | 60 up that side on Friday.

Leonard Kaplan of Weston, W. Va.
Olmstead has led the class each year
he has been in the academy. and so
high have been his marks that there
is an excellent chance that his final
multiple will be the largest ever OBJ
tanned by Naval Academy graduate.
kaplan made splendid spurt last
year and his mark in the purely
scholastic branches is almost exactly
equal to Olmsteads. but the latter
gained few points in the military
branches. It is of interest to note
that Olmstead has brother. who is
