It Is probable. If the writer'* per
sonal views were consulted, that the
Country Farm Lite School, which 1b
now agitating the public mind,
would be considered later on, but as
my reasons mfght not be considered
potent and knowing as I dp
that the people of Beaufort County
are too progressive to throw away
a good thing that is actually given
to them, which virtually makes the
school a certainly, It only remains
to be considered where the school
should be situated and why the pro
posed situation is desirous.
Located within the Incorporate
limits of Bath is a tract of level, fer
tile land which is at the disposal of
the commissioners of said town. The
land can be worked to a very high
state of cultivation, having a splen
did clay foundation, easily drained
and 1? eepeclally adapted to the de
monstration work which will be re
quired of the school. This land,
or as much as may be necesanry will
be offered as the Aral Inducement
and others will follow as It becomes
necessary.
The erroneous statement has gain
ed credence that we are Indolent,
unprogresslve and not altogether
law abiding cltlsens, which atat*?
ment I do not wleh to contradict, ex
cept for the benefit of the unsophis

evenings the noisy countrymen come
to town and with whoops and shouts
made one believe th&t an actual In
dian maBsacre was taking place. We
wondered at the fellowa nerve or
lack of it, for so far from being any
demonstration of violence, it Is a
rather noisy, though harmless ex

In considering Its location these

Is s nop re backed by the Farmers

parts of M.600 each to erect 10
schools In 10 different counties. The
ultimate aim Is t,o hare a similar
school In every county In the state
and the object of the school is the
betterment of the social, mental and
physlcsl condition of the farm. The
state has done this much snd the
people are expected to do the bal

the farmer to see that the plan does
