There will be no large crop of cot
ton in Bamberg county. There is no
hope for a large crop for some years
to come. Eventually, perhaps, folks
NAV learn how to grow cotton in
spite of the boil weevil. In fact,
we think they will, but not yet. How
ever, things are not near as bad IN
Bamberg county as they might be,
and are not near as bad as in many
other sections of South Caro-
lima. From reports we have heard
of other sections, we are inclined to
believe that all crops here are equally
as good as, if not better than, in
other portions of the state. While
there have been torrents of rain
here, there has been still more rain
in some other sections. This condi-
ton seems to prevail throughout
practically all of the cotton belt.
There does not seem to be much
danger of big crop of cotton any
where this year, and practically no
danger of low price, even though
a big crop is made. A half crop this
year will bring as much money as
full crop in ordinary years. We need
a spirit of optimism among our peo-

The claim has been made that the people of Conway with that times hard and that they unable to pay for the support of public school than they have been paying. n .. o h,ra
 If is true that taxes high and that times are hard- were harder during past year than they have been TOT at least seven years. Yet consider this: ,
 According to the official minutes Of the North Ark;nsS % conference Methodist Episcopal church. south the flst Me ost church Conway had at the close of the conference wear n November 1921 membership of OS6 This member ship of course include and children the poorest as well as the weaes and doubtless fair n imam cl ability the whole people of the school district o Con way This memberships according to the record paid to the church during the closed total of $2569an aver age of almost exactly $25 per member
 the Log Cabin Democrat does not intend to suggest that the Methodist congregation of this city paid their church much money last year The probability is that 1t did not pay the church enough But if the entire population of the district of Conway numbering certainly not less than had paid per capita for the support of their public school much the members paid per capita for the support of the Methodist church last year, the district would have received S5OOO0. Thsn single year-woud have been amply sui fcen to wipe out the entire bonded and floating indebtedness with which the school is burened with balance large enoug cash the full of the much needed high school building.
 And it is disparagement but tribute to the Meth ods church other church to that the public school institution of as much importance to the welfare of Con way as is the church.

STATES MINERAL
 RESOURCES TOFORf

Little Rock, Feb. 3.-The 1923 ses- sion of the legislature will be forced by the very weight of public opinion to devote much time and attention to a consideration of questions affecting the development of the states miner al resources. The tremendous i'm petus given during the last year to this industry by the discovery of the Fl Dorado oil field is attracting the attention of the entire worl dto Ar kansas as never before. More and more the need of permanent and active geological survey is being en,. phasized and Commissioner Ferguson expressed the hope that the next legis- lature will make liberal provisions for re-establishment of the survey which for the lack of funds has been un- able to conduct any field work for sev- eral years. Dr. John T. Branner in a letter to Commissioner Ferguson sug- gests the following ten big things that should be done for the geology of the state:
 l. Bring up to date the work on coal lands and publish the report.
 2. Report on the petroleum and natural gas resources.
 8. Report on the fertilizer.
 4. Report on the soils of the state, their origin, distribution and treat ment.
 5. Report on the clays, kaolins and fuller's earths.
 6. Revise and publish the report on the lower coal measures.
 2. Report on the structural ma terials including Portland cement.
 8. Report on the state water sup ply including underground water.
 9. A comprehensive work on the general geology and geologic history of the state.
 10. The preparation and publica- tion of large scale topographic and geologic map of the state.

 AT RUSSELLY|LLF
(Courier-Democrat.)

Having his faculty reduced to the minimum in an effort to keep oper- ating expenses of the Russellville schools within it's income. Supt. Frank E. McAnear has adopted a plan which has been commended by State Supt. J. L. Bond, and may fur nish a solution for other schools that are handicapped by lack of teachers
 At the mid-term examinations last week number of pupils in the junior high failed to pass in certain studies, and instead of sending these back to the next lower grades and putting them a full year behind in their work, he organized them into separate classes. Having a number of seniors who mean to teach after graduating, he called for. volunteers to teach these classes of pupils who had failed. Fifteen responded, and they are hearing one recitation each per day. MT. McAnear is well pleas ed with the innovation. He says the student-teachers are just as settled, tdhe lIlelr WOIh as SeflouSly, ana are giving as good satisfaction as new teachers who work for salary, and their services has solved the teache/ shortage problem and is also giving them valuable experience. He su- pervises the work and says the class es are getting along nicely.
 The seniors who volunteered for teaching service are: Ferguson Mar tin and Misses Bernyce Henry, Jewel McBath, Marie Smallwood, Opal Ran kin, Vivian Mincher, Mary Lena Bowen, DeLois Dunford May Taylor, Mary Annette Nugent, Evelyn Oates, Evelyn Ragsdale, Lucille Shinn and Hazel Vim.

MONOPOLY IN EUROPE
 BY AMERICAN OIL MEN
(By the Associated Press)

Berlin, Feb. 3.-The increased con sumption of crude oil and need of a corresponding increase in the worlds production has focused attention of Amerlcan interests upon European helds, and renewed efforts are being made to secure long time contracts Tor the development of the industry here on large scale.
 Agents of the Standard Oil Con- pany have been most active and are reported here to have secured virtual monopolies of oil prospecting and we'll sinking in a number of smaller Central European states.
 German capital has been watching the operations of the Americans with considerable concern, and it is pre- dicted in quarters close to Hugo Stlnnes, the most powerful of the German capitalists, whose commer- clal enterprises extend to all Flu rope, that American interests soon will have monopoly of the Flu ropean petroleum supply, if not of the whole earth"
 The Standard Oil Company has SC. cured control of important fields ir Northern Persia on a 5O-year lease but the action of the Persion admin istration in granting the concession has been protested by the Russian government, and also by the British minister, as incompatible with the Russian-Persian agreement of Feb ruary 26, 1921, which it is claimed gave Russia prior rights.
 Americans also have secured i'm portant concessions in Jugo-Slavia Czechoslovakia and Rumania, under stipulations providing for investment of several millions of American dol. lars in development work which these countries cannot undertake.
