MORE LETTERS FROM
ADULT SCHOOL PUPILS

The following letters from pupils
OF Adult School were received at this
office too late to go in the adult
School Department.
They are wonderful letters when
all the circumstances are considered.
Mt. Croghan, S. c.,
August 81, 1922.
To the Advertiser:
Dear Mr.. Editor, What the Adult
School has meant to me. I have been
TO two sessions and ! have learned .
read and write and | think it is one of
the greatest things for the people
that have no education. | wish that
every one could go to one session. l
think they would be interested in the
school. There are several in our
school that couldn't read or write a
word that have all learned to read
and write.
Your truly,
w. B. Taylor.

DAVE JACKSON BREAKS GANG

Dave Jackson, white, recently SEN
tenced to eighteen months on the
chain gang for house-breaking and
larency, got away early Sunday
morning during a severe down-pour
of rain.
After long, hard chase he was
captured Tuesday morning at day
near his home in the sand hills some
seven or eight miles from camp by
Special Officer Abbott and Deputy
Sellers.
Mr.. Abbott states that the alarm
was not given until Sunday night,
some twelve hours after the escape
of the prisoner.
They traced him to place near his
home and then watched his wife as
she made several trips into the
woods. When the officers closed in on
him at daylight Thursday morning
they found him wrapped in
a quilt and dressed in overalls and a
shirt, his shackles and prison stripes
missing.

THE COUNTY'S DEBT

There has been so much loose talk
of late about the county's finances
that it is deemed advisable to make
brief statement concerning the same.
The county has now debt of
100000. OF this amount 100000
was voted on principally by the vari-
Gus school districts for school pur-
poses and represents the desire of
the people.
Twenty thousand dollars of the
Indebtedness is old notes renewed,
which represents an old deficit in
road work and other matters COM
biBed.
The present board of commissions
erS were compelled to borrow an
9th err $4,000 when the legislature
post, ,voned the limit for time of pay
ing taxes. This last loan was for
road work and other incidentals. 1t
is believed that this loan would not
have been negotiated had Iaxes been
paid promptly. There are now about
$500 tax executions ready for the
sheriff on September l. 1t is believ-
ed that these executions when collect
ed will more than make good the
amount borrowd by this admihistra.

THE WEEVIL SITUATION

Clemson College, Aug. 21.-Wher-
ever natural shedding is heavy and
the weevil is very active land there
is little or no fruiting, no further
profit may be expected from dust
ing; but wherever normal weather
conditions exist and not more than
normal shedding occurs and cotton is
still fruiting, another dusting is adj
Visable in order to give every pos
sible protection to the boil, said
Prof. A. F. Conradi, Entomologist,
this morning after the weekly con-
ference in Director Longs office on
the boil weevil situation. Other facts
and suggestions developed at the con-
ference are given below.
The weather conditions are vari-
able throughout the state, ranging
from extreme wet weather in some
locahties to extreme drought in 9TH
ers. In many fields in the central
and southern parts of the state there
is little fruiting at this time, because
OF excessive natural shedding COM
bined with weevil punctures. In dry
areas in the Piedmont section natur-
al shedding is very heavy, although
"eeVll mfestation is comparatively
light. But the falling off of fruit is
generally attributed by farmers to
the boil weevil.
Much Failure Due To We. We.th,r
The general weather conditions at
this time resemble those of last year,
although the same extremes do not
exist IN the same localities in every
case. The weather damage at this
time should not be overlooked by far
mcrs, and every effort should be
made to get most careful and impair
tial estimates of the percentage of
their crop loss due to weevil and t! Z.
percentage due to natural shedding.
1t must be remembered that, owing
to heavy continuous rainfall in GER
tain sections of the state,, there
would likely have been crop failure
regardless of boil weevil This is i'm
portant for people to consider so that
they may not get the idea that cot
ton can no longer be grown success
fully. There were cotton failures on
account of weather long before the
boil weevil came.

THE DUTY OF THE GOVERNOR
South Carolina Pythian Bulletin


Before another issue of The Bulle-
tin is published citizens of South
Carolina win have selected the men
who will manage their civic affairs
and make their laws. The selection of
these men calls for the sincerest ex-
ercise of citizenship.
The higher grade these public SER
wants are, the better South Carolina
there will be, better state to work
in and to live in. We all want to see
our newspapers filled with the stories
OF character making, progress, educa-
ton and prosperity, not with murd-
ers, drunken crimes, the young over
taken in. evil lives. and debauchery.
We want the chronicle of our times
to be white sheet. And the men
selected to manage public affairs will
much determine the moral and indus
trial condition in the commonwealth.
Party names, fraternal or religious
tags have little to do with the candi-
date. AS a rule he is known to the
people, his character, the company
he has kept, his attitude to law en-
forcement, education ana religion are
generally known.
The next governor of South Caro-
lima should have such heart for her
children and her future that he
would bend every energy to promote
the betterment of her educational ia
cilities and institutions.
The next governor of South Caro-
lima recognizing agriculture, as a
God-made, basic industry, should,
without demagogery, do all that he
can to safeguard the labore and in
terests of the farmer.
The next governor of South Caro-
lima should make it one of his first
endeavors to have Incorporated into
state management an adequate sys-
TEN of taxation, each man accord

burden.

VOTERS! THINK
Dear Editor and Voters of Chester
field County:

Dear Editor and Voters of Chester
field County:
On the 29th of August the voters
of this county will cast their votes
and elect men to county and state Of
hces. Before we cast our votes we
should know what we are doing and
not make a mistake and vote for some
one that will not serve the people in
the county, but who will do the coun-
ty good. If you will just stop and
consider what Serving the County"
really means you will get a great
meaning out of it. So please stop to
think and pick your man that you
fully believe will serve the people of
this county as whole, that will not
be influenced by any individual or
any selfish motive, but a man when
he has served his time, we can say
we are proud of the way and manner
that man has served US.
| feel that if we all join in and
elect Mr.. w. l.. Mccoy, Of McBee, to
us III IHc Ntneral ASSemD-
ly, we will do good deed for our
county. Mr.. Mccoy is big hearted
man and l do not believe he has a
selfish bone in him. He is always will
ing to help out in any good cause, and
is never too hasty in making decis-
ion but considers everything care
fully before making his decision. He
has hc'aed individuals in his c, ~
munity; he has helped his community
in which he lives; he has helped the
county in which he lives; he las been
very successful for himself and is al
ways anxious and wanting to help
others.
He has offered to leave his interest
in and around McBee and 90 to CO.
lumbia and serve the people of his
county, which l am sure if elected
will make all those who help to elect
him proud of sending him there. Also
those who do not vote for him will be
proud of him and the manner in
which he will serve the county.
hope you all will think Of this on
