and voted to reorganize the concern
on sound basis which would permit
of the industry being revived on a big
ger and better scale than ever before.
The meeting was presided over by
| Charles s. Robinson, of Dimmick, and
was attended by group of men repre-
senting large blocks of stock in the
corporation. Discussions pro and con

of reorganization on scheme to be

Serves In Executive Capacity.
The committee, serving in an ex-
ecutive capacity, will start at work
at once on the problem and hopes to
have their plan far enough advanced
to present it to an early meeting of
the stockholders for adoption.
Concensus of opinion among the
farmer-owners of the packing house
was that with more skill in manage.
ment the plant would never have hit
upOn the financial shoals. It was
agreed that with the right men at the
head the institution could be put on
a paying basis almost from the start.
Enough business has been assured, it
was pointed out, to merit, at least, a
try at reorganization to save what
has already been invested in the con.
Germ and eventually give the investors
a return on the money they have sunk

Receiver Is Named.
On Oct 26 petition was filed in
the circuit court by John Eckhardt
the president of the Illinois Farmers
Packing Co.. asking that a receiver
be appointed for the company. 1t
was alleged by Mr.. Eckhardt that
the company was in debt to the ex-
tent Of $4,000, and that the COM
pany only had about $3.50 in cash.
He alleged that the company had ac-
counts outstanding which were for
approximately $1,000 and that he be.
lieyed approximately $4,000 of these
accounts were Colectible.
His petition in asking for a receiv-
er stated that it would take between
$4,000 and $4,000 to put the COM
pany on its feet financially and in a
good running condition again.

group Of stockholders employed
Attorney Thomas n, Haskins and
made an effort to contest the appoint
ment of a receiver. They alleged
that the reason the company was not
in a good financial condition was be-
cause it had not been operated cor
rectly On Nov. 2S a compromise
was effected between the two war
ring factions, and by an agreement
reached between the two sides no

and secured permission to employ

class period. This community has
| taken on new life, and much more
good is being accomplished than be-
fore.
Probably the biggest consolidation
way that of the Lenhardt and Maui
din school districts with the Easley
school district No. 13. This consoli-
dation has placed one of the best
hi.,h schools in the state IN reach of
large number cf children that be-
fore did not have that advantage. 1t
made possible the floating of "A $50
10000 bond issue without the increas
ing of the mill levy, providing ample
class room space.
In connection with this consolda-
ton school busses have been put on
in the Lcnhardt section and the cliI~
dren that are from one to tl,rss
miles from school are being trans
ported to school. Good roads make
this possible, and from the testimony
CT many CT the patrons in this see
ton, is the biggest boon mat has
ever come their way.
Still another consolidation is tnar
Of the Flat Rock school district No.
with the Brushy Greek district Of
Anderson county. This will mean,
besides the increased efficiency in
the class room, the advancement from

er school.
The last consolidation was finished
last week when the Mt Carmel school
was merged with the Dacusvilc
school. Heretofore these two schools
have been running within a few miles
Of each ether, the Mt. Carmel school
having two teachers and the Dacus-
vilIc schccl having three. The most
time that could be given to any rcci-
tation in either school was about ten
and fifteen minutes. Now the rcYiods
will range from twenty to thirty
minutes. To acccmCdatc these school
children a school bus has been put
on and the pupils will be transported
from the Mt. Carmel section TO the
Dacusville school.
These consultations have all prov
en- successful, being 100 per cent more
efficient than before this work was
done. 1t is the hope Of all that are
interested in education that this good
work will continue, thai the wheels
of progress will ever be we'll cilcd,
and Pickens county will continue to
head the counties Of the State in
an educational way.

School Progress In Pickens County

For the past several years Pickens
county has been taking on renewed
lie N her school work. She has de-
parted from the old beaten paths of
let well enough alone" or even of
marking time, to new enterprises or
new thoughts and methods of running
her schools. Having kept in touch
with the more progressive schools of
the state and nation, watching with
intense interest their methods, to see
whether they were successful or a
failure, and realizing that in almost
all their endeavors they met with
success, it has been thought proper
to try these same things in Pickens
schools, for, according to the old ad-
dage what is good for Paul is good
for Silas."
Consolidation has been the educa-
tlcnal Watchword in almost all of the
progressive school states. With this
idea predominaring, they have gone
forward with leaps and bounds, ac-
ccmplishing much for the educatic
Of their future citizens. South Caro-.
lima has caught the spirit of the move
mcnt and she, too, is going forward
with great strides. 1t is a pleasure
to know that Pickens county has been
doing her Fart m carrying forward
her share Of this movement.
The first consolidation in Pickens
county was the Carpenter Creek
school with the Dacusville school
district No. IT, This was brought
about several years ago, and as Il
result good school was established
at Dacusville, giving the boys and
girls CT that community a much bet
ter chance than they had been ac-
customed tco.
The next consolidation was the
uniting CT the Clemson school dis
rrlct in Oconee county with the CAL
Eoun District in Pickens county. with
the schcCl house located en- the Pick
CPS county side. AS q result of this
the school has advanced from a small
two-teacher school to one of the
recognized high schools of the state.

school, the work in the class room
and the building being credit not
only to Pickens county but to the
