At thO. rst meeting of the etate board of education after the opening of the -scholastic year 1915-16 -it was seen that the high school appropria tion would fall not far from. $10,000 short .of meeting the applications for etate aid. The board sent a notice to every state-aided high school not! tying it that it would probably be able to get no high school money beyond what is known as the initial appropri. ation-that is, a limit of $500 for any high school with two or more teach ore and a limit of $300 for a high school with fewer than two teachers. At the May meeting of'the state board of education it was found -that a few hundred dollars was 13tAt unapportion -ed and the board' directed that this small residue be distributed as equitably as possible among the most deserving schools. The final apportionments have been made and sent out to the county treas urers. First, all high schools with one full high school teacher, as much as half the time of a second high school teacher, The following schools were given this additional money on account of their relatively large 'high school en. rollment for the teaching force: Ep. worth, Floyds and Crocketville. An additional $50 was given to each of those schools in order to bring up their initial appropriation to $500: Denmark, Barnwell, Johnston, Blacks burg and Lancaster. The following schools were given an additional $25 each for a high school enrollment of over 20 pupila from out side the local district: Chesterfield, Winnsboro, Greer, Mullins, Prosperity, Seneca, Holly Hill, Central, -Pickens; Johnston and York. These schools were entitled to additional money un der this provision, but were not given the extra appropriations for the rea son stated after each: Belton, Ander son county had already received the $3,000 limit; Lexington, the school had already received other consideration. The following schools were given an additional $15 for a' high school en rollnient of over 15 pupils from out side the district: Manning, Dillon St George, Kers'haw, Chapin, Clio, Little Mountain. These schools were givo no further aid under this provision for the reason stated afte reach: Lancas ter, school had already received $50 additional. Chesterfield was given an addi tional $25 for lengthening the school year two weeks. . Pageland was given $60 additional for lengthening the school year one month. Will Mark Highways.

County" Clause-Back to Higher Court. diester.-Judge Ernest Moore of Lfancaster, to whoma the supreme court referred the proceeding brought by Septimus Massey et al. to restrain the Catawba county commissionerq from orderikig a survey and contract lug other expense in connection with the new county on the ground that the "ill shaped county" act clearly pro hibits a county of such shape and the survey would be unwarranted and un necessary, handed down a decree in which he sustained the attorneys rep. resenting the old counties and de clared the act of the legislature under attack to be sound law and not in con flict with the .constitutioi. The case will be taken to the supreme court on appeal. Judge Moore's decree upholds the contentions of J. H-. Marion at every point. First, Col. Marion declared that the language of the constitution on the subject of creating new countise is permissory, the use of the word "mdy" being in its ordinary acceptance and implying the right of the general as sembly to safeguard the general rules and directions for erecting new coun ties by adding to the same such salu tary rules and .regulations as '.might appear needful. Judge Moore concur red in this interpretation and ruled ac cordingly. -rhe claim that even it the language of the constitution on the subject of erecting new counties is mandaitory. the legislature has the right to sub stitute a method for the general meth od provided was also upheld. The third point, citing the police .power vested In the legislature and other bodies to guard the rights of citizens by the enactment of laws in .confiict with general righits vouch sated by the constitution, if such ap .pear necessary, was also sustained. Judge Moore then takes up the ar gument advanced by Col. A. L. Gas ton, in regard to the constitutional convention's attitude towards the creation of new counties, and disposed of the argument of Catawba county .proponents to the effect that a pro vision in regard to the shape of new counties was voted down by the con vention by showing that this was done in order that the legislature, to whom as representatives of the people such subjects are referred," might not be hampered in their treatment of the subject. Mr. Welch dwelt upon the convention's failure to incorporate into the constitution a provision as t othe shape of the new counties, and Col. Gaston replied to the argument In the manner upheld by Judge Moore in Registration Area. Washington.-Sain L. Rogers, direc tor of the census, has admitted -the state of South Carolina to the registra tion area for dea-ths for the calendar year 1916. In 1914 Sou-th Carolina pass ed the model law providing for the registration of births and deaths. ' The admission of South Carolina nov makes the 26th state includ'd in the deat~h registra-tion areca, in creas ing the 'estimated population repre eented to 71.621.398. or 70.2 per cent. of the total estimated population of the United States. The model law is law which provides for the regis ,.tion of births and deaths and one 'ch may b~e adapted to meet the onditions in any state. It has done more to bring about uniformity and ef fetiveness in the registration of vital statistics than any measure hertofore proposed. SOUTH CAROLiNA NEWS ITEMS.

WATSON Commissioner A Weekly Bulletin of Information Western Newspaper Union News Servine A young woman in Saluda county this week writes: "You have sold my pigs, now sell my flue young Jersey cow." The Bureau is going to do its best to obey orders. Another farm woman up in Spartanburg county writes: "The Bureau is invaluable, but I have not found a Gmndfather clock yet." The Bureau being very young is finding It difficult to get the Grandfather clock, but surely some body must have one that they want to sell-and the wants of thot women on the farm must be met. This week offerings of clover seed from the new crop are beginning to come in and it is noteworthy that of the clover seed listed the majority of the offerings are from women farm ers. This week the offerings and wants are now more diversified than ever before, even peafowls and magnolia blooms now figure in the list and one woian outside the State has asked the Bureau to dispose of two pairs of solid gold rimmed eyeglasses for her. She had read of the effectiveness of the South. - Carolina Bureau and wrote from her home in the city of an ad joining state. Of course the request cannot be complied with, but it illus trates -the fact that the individual in need sees the value of such a service. Now that the planting season for cowpeas is at hand and the supply of seed is so abundant there is every in dication that the greatest acreage in cowpeas ever known in South Caro. lina is going to be planted ahd since the publication of the Department's bulletin on "Farming the Alr. with the Cowpea," No. 37, has been issued giving the results of last year's work numerous calls for nitroculture at 40c a bottle delivered to be used in inocu lating cowpeas, are being received. The Department is in a position to furnish the fresh cultures immediate ly upon receipt of orders, and if the experience of such men as Mr. Gerety of Charleston, and scores of others whose names are given in the bulle. tin is worth anything. general advan tage will be taken of the opportunity to get a more luxuriant pea crop and store more nitrogen in the soil than heretofore.

GOLDEN TEXT-God ts not mocke .or whatsoever a man soweth, that shel ao also reap.-Gal. 6:7. We turn aside today to consider the second temperance lesson for the year. Paul's letter to the churches of Gejatia strongly contrasts law and grace. It's key verse is ch. 2:16, and its most prominent word is "law." many claim verse one of Chapter 5 as its golden verse. 'This final chap ter is a most practical one and rich in #uggestion regarding our social rela tions. Let each member come, pro pared to give a temperance applica tion or to ask a temperiace question. 1. "Bear Ye One Anothe's Burdens* (vv. 1-5). If a man trespass, b a. prised in a sin, be caught in the very act, or surprised into committing a sin, "ye which are spiritual" (literal ly. guided and governed by the spirit; ch. 5:16-25) are to restore such a one. This is to be done, not by cut ting off or casting aside the erring one, but as c. dislocated limb is re. stored to its place, so we are to "re store" that one to his place as a be liever; each believer. being a member of the body of Christ (I Cor. 12:12, 14, 27); one who falls into sin is a dis located limb or member, and the\ stronger ones are to restore him to his proper place. This must be done, however, not with any sense of our own infallibility, but in meekness, gentleness and with great tenderness. (See 1I Tim. 2:24 26). Paul's reason for this, "lest thou also be tempted" should lay low the pride any of us who have not fallen might feel (v. 1; Math. 7:2-5; Jas. 2:13). Instead of exclaiming, "I could never have done any such act." we ought rather to say, "But for the grace of God I might have done even worqe than that." (I Cor. 10:13). The btirdens (v.,2) or weights which we are to bear are not the unnecessary details of the Mosaic law (Math. 23: 4; Acts 15:10) but rath er they are the temptations, weak nesses and failures of others. The moster "came npt to be ministered unto but to minfster" and was "tempt ed in all points," "touched with a ftee Ing of our infirmities" and in our thus sharing with each other we but follow in his steps (Ch. 5:4; John 13:34, 15:12; Romans 15:3) This is the "law I of Christ," not onerous, not a grievous burden, not necessarily an obligation, but a "law" because he, our "file lead er," fully and perfectly exemplifies it (Phil. 2:5-8). It is chiefly self-conceit and spiritual pride (v. 3) which stands in the way of gentle forbearance in dealing with our erring brothers. Such pride does not usually deceiye pthers (Jas. 1:22-24) and he who is so con" trolled. "doceiveth himself." lI. "Whatsoever a Man Soweth" vv. 6-8. While each must so boar his burden, yet those who are taught are to help those who teach to bear their burdens by contributing "in all good things" (Rem. 16:27; I Cor. 9:11-14). Paul sounds a solemn warning to those whno refuse thus to help forward the work of righteousness, those who fail to support others and think that their selfishness will accrue to their advantage (v. 7). The natural world has many illustrations of this immut able law. Men may mock (sneer at) this inw, but find eventually that there is no escape from its operation. This law has many applications. The one in the context is, first, a physical one (v. 8). a most familiar one to us all. The same is true spiritually, and has been repeatedly illustrated throughout I the history of the Christian church. (II Cor. 9:66; Prov. 11:24). lb all of our actions, physical, mental, moral, social and spiritual, we reap what we sow; like in kind, sown sparingly we real) sparingly; abundantly, and we I reap In abundance. Ill. "We Shall Reap, if We Faint Not" vv. 9-18. Paul now proceeds to make the practical application. If we act under the leadership of the Spirit (See ch. 5:16-25) we avoid carnal mindedness, and we are sowing to the I Spirit and of the Spirit (who is life John 0:63; II Cor. 3:6), we shall reap "life eternal," 1. 0., life which is end less in duration and divine in its es sence. There must be, however, per sistence. We must not withhold She good seed nor refrain from sowing it if we are to roeAp the reward mug gested in verses nine and ten. If we do so withhold, or should we sow ought but the "good seed," we will surely reap the awful harvest mug gested in verses 71 and 8. Tetn pcaral weariness or discouragement will not excuse us for any negligence. Nor are we to be impatient, for "in. due season," in God's time. (f Titi. '' 6:14, 15) we shall reap; not perhaps immediately. but the irsue is certain. Some fail to reap because of laxtty~ others continue cultivation too long; still others, by overlooking their "op. '. portunity" to do good (v. 10) andi hence having not sown, they .ca n4' e reap. Paul suggests (v. 12) that the s~ Ing of which he speaks is nlot Wti any outward show, for coptdet to the edicts and re lations ota In order to avroid Pefet~io. P
