tion?"
That simple statement has given
Democrats-and some Republicans
pause. The agrarian bloc is appar-
emily awaiting developments. If 9th
er farm organizations follow the lead
of Barrett, the chances are that the
bloc will oppose subsidy.
The president proposes that if it be
proved necessary after the exhaustion
of other credits and perquisites in fa-
vor of American shipping $32,O00,-
900 be subverted from customs hous-
es and prorated on a ton-mile basis
to owners of American ships.
The Leviathan, for instance, MAX
ing Ii round trips per annum, would
under the presidents plan, be entitled
at the end of each year to 81, ,225, 900.
But if the subsidy is not voted,
Democrats shake their heads. They
want worthy marine. They would
give the shipping board an opportu-
nifty to dispose of its vessels, main
tainined at great cost. But they do
not know how best to bring about
such desirable results.
England, incidentally, opposes the
subsidy scheme.

board in the state. He told Of the
difficult situation which the leglsla-
ture faced this year and of the post
ponement of the payment of taxes IN
1921. Shortly after that postpone
ment, he said, the state paid to the
federal government in taxes as much
as the entire state appropriation bill
carried, little Of this money, he said,
returning to the state.
"There is plenty of money in South
Carolina to run the state government
the question is, how to get" he
said.
DR.. Swearingen said that he went
into Office standing for an equal
chance for every child to get the rudi-
ments of an education; for six
months term and for salary Of 500
per month for every qualified teacher.
In speaking OF unpaid salaries DR..
Swearingen said: Some Of you have
not drawn any money for some
months l dare say. You have not been
paid because taxes have remained un-
paid. I don't know how it is that
some sheriffs hold tax executions in
their Offices some four or five years,
but you teachers who are unpaid need
not worry. The school authorities
have power to borrow money"
Dr.. Swearingen was given close at

sided at the meeting and several an

GENERAL SESSIONS COURT
CONVENED MONDAY MORNING
Judge John s. Wilson Presiding
Delivers Instructive Charge to
Gland Jury

ne court " SeNeIdI SeSSloilS eOH-
vencd on Moaslay with Judge John
S. Wilson presAing. has been ABOUT
seven years sis ice Judge Wilson held
court in Newbarry, and he said in OPP
ening his remarks to the grand jury
that it was always pleasure for him
to hold court ~ Newberry
The entire panel Of eighteen grand
jurors was present and after they had
been sworn they retired and elected
Mr.. Jas. W. Johnson as foreman.
Judge Wilson said it was the duty
of the presiding judge at the first
term Of the sessions court in the year
to charge the grand jury as to their
general duties, and after that he new
er undertook to instruct them as he
took it for granted that it had been
done by the judge who held the first
court of the year.
He said if TIE jurors had listened
attentively to the oath which they had
taken and would heed what they had
sworn to do there was little left to be
said. that the oath contained in sue
cinct form the duties Of the grand
Juror. 1t was the most important po-
sition in the county. They were to
look into everything pertaining to
the welfare of the county. In other
words they were the grand inquest OF
the county. Examine mad look after
the various officers Of the county not
with the idea Of hunting up little lr-
regularities which might be found IN
the best kept office but to see If the
county officers were performing their
duties properly and intelligently and
if they so found to commend them
for it and to publish the fact. To
look after the schools of the county
and to see that they were properly
run and that the children were given
the advantage Of the school, especial
" in the rural district, that it was of
far greater Importance in this day
that the children be educated than in
the days of the past. 1t was all I'M
portant that the schools be kept open.
They were also to look after the su-
pervision over the roads and to see
that the roads were properly kept.
1t was of vast Importance in this day
that we have good roads so that
neighbor might easily visit neighbor.
He touched on the liquor law and
spoke of the Importance of having the
law enforced and the creating of
public sentiment in favor Of the en-
forcement of the law. Some people
had an idea that it was not wrong to
buy liquor from the illegal vendor but
in so doing they were encouraging law
violation. Whiskey was great evil
and healthy public sentiment was
needed to enforce prohibition. He
recited several sad cases that had
come under his observation from the
use of liquor.
The bills were then handed the
grand jury and the court began TO
grind. There are not a great cany
cases for this court and it is rot like
ly to last allthe week.

The State, 1S.

in South Carolina of a closely knit as
sociation Of school teachers with a
full time paid secretary and a clear
cut and definite educational policy
were outlined at the meeting at the
Columbia theater last night of the
State Teachers association when j.
W. Thompson Of Winthrop college
submitted the report Of a committee
appointed about three years ago for
the purpose of looking into this mat
ter. The full report of this commit
tee will be submitted to the associa-
tion at its business meeting this morn
ing at the high school building and,
judging from the enthusiasm which
prevailed when the recommendations
were read last night, the report will
be adopted. 1t is planned to have this
association organized somewhat on
the lines of the State Bar association,
the State Medical association and 9TH
er such organizations of professional
men and women. The paid secretary
Will devote his entire time to looking
after the interests of the association.
The report of Professor Thompson
came at the close of session which
registered high water mark in the in
terest and enthusiasm of the annual
meeting of the teachers. The Colunl-
bia theater was again filed almost to
capacity and the order maintained
was such that every word of the
speaker of the evening could be heard

There was manifest throughout the
session last night an earnestness and
an interest that augured we'll for the

TIE address of the evening was de-
livercd by Or. Hugh S. Magill, field
secretary Of the National Education

ed by E. C. McCants Of Anderson, and
in his opening remarks said, 81 am
glad to be here with the teachers of
South Carolina because I am con-
vinced that more depends on what we
teachers do than on any other profes-
sion in America. The future Of Am
erica depends on the kind of educa-
ton we give the boys and girls Of
America"
Mr.. Mag:ll proved himself speak
er of vigor aai power, clear think
er and man Of vision. Having taught
school for years and having Travelled
extensively over the United States
and having come into close contact
with the school problems in many
states, he was able to speak with that
familiarity with his subject that
comes from intimate acquaintance
with its various ranlifcations. His
address was heard with close atten-
ton.
He urged the teachers to form q

the farmer is cattle. Ii is SURPRISING
but true, that the farmers in this sec

lhefe are many farmers in South
Carolina who believe that on the av-

Perhaps they are right, But we have
the right to ask why is it that it does
not pay? There are several thinps
which might contribute to the correct
answer to this question, some of
which are poor soils, poor pastures,
scrub cattle, free range, diseases. and
VIC i'Ne' ffof. Starkey is of the
OPINION, however, that when we get
the right sort of pasture, beef pro-

Ihere are thousands of acres of idle
land in South Carolina, and as soon
as these acres are put under fence
and the. soil which is now bare is
covered with grass, beef production
can be made profitable.
