Smith having | j moved to Shelby, was the second ; j president. j Prof. Sweatt was born in Union j ' i » County, S. C., in a two room log j , house and was the son of poor par- j lents, being the fifth child in a fam-! ? ily of thirteen, six boys and seven! : girls. When he was three years old j his parents moved from Union to Spartanburg- County, where he work ed on a farm and attended the pub lic schools, walking- a distance of three miles twice per day. At the age of 21 he attended the Spartan Academy where he worked his way through high school. In September 1922, he entered Furman University Greenville, S. C., and worked his way thru the institution. In June, 1926, he graduated with an A. R. Degree. During his college days he organ ized the Boy Scout work in Green ville and was Scout Master the four years he was in college. He worked in camp during the summer months and made what money he could. On August 15, 1926 he came to Union Mills at a salary of SIOO.OO per month as a teacher in high school, or Round Hill Academy. In October 1926 he was elected prin cipal of the high school and on January 1. 1927 he was elected Sup erintendent of Alexander Schools, Inc., A Christian Home for Mother less Children, located at Union Mills. His salary is still SIOO.OO per month and he puts most of this back into THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1930. the running expenses of the school. Since Prof. Sweatt is a single man he reduces his actual living expen ses to a minimum and gives the ma jority of his salary back to the school jthat he has so well served for the ; past three years. | During the summer of 1928 he • took a special six weeks course in J the New Yok School of Socia i Science. The late J. F. Alexander oi | Forest City and St. Petersburg, Fla. J left some property, the income o1 | which was to be applied on the j running- expenses of Alexandei ! Schools, Inc. This was in 1925. Wher j the depression came, the property ! failed to produce a revenue, yel j Prof. Sweatt has continued to oper. | ate the school and today there arc j forty full orphan children, seventy j seven motherless children, thirty ; eight fatherless children and-twent> j from broken homes, making a tota |of 175 children under his care. The Kiwanis club made the a ward to Prof. Sweatt because of hi; untiring efforts towards keeping tilt school going. He runs it mostly or faith. It is the only school of its kind known in the country, its primarj aim being for motherless children Prof. Sweatt lives with the childrer and they all love and admire him. He has refused positions, time and again, that would pay him two or three times as much salary, for he be lieves in the home for motherless children and loves the work. He is in it for the good he can do, and not the money he can make, for he has made none. i The aims and ideals of the school; |are: service, efficiency, thoroughness,! ; spirituality, religious activity, moral j i purity, freedom from vitiating ha bits and with a desire for the highest principals of manhood and woman hood. The influences of the school are strictly Christian. The faculty are all consecrated Christians. Child ren are admitted by application ami j motherless children have the pref erence. It is a home where, the moth- j I er is taken the father can place the children there where the influences are the best that can be found and the cost most reasonable. Prof. Sweatt is indeed an outstand ing citizen and the Rutherfordton Kiwanis club had little trouble in deciding that he had rendered the most unselfish service last year in the territory served by the club.

TESTS SHOW NEED FOR I PROTEIN FOOD I , i ! Economical Beef Productions Requires Well Balanced Rations. The importance of the feeding of beef cattle is realized more today than ever before. Tabulations ex hibited at the 'lnternational Live Stock Exposition at* Chicago in December show that the feed rep resents 84 per cent of the cost of fattening a steer. It is for this rea son that aggressive farmers and ex perimental stations are putting such emphasis on the study of proper rations, which in turn mean greater profits. The results of practically all ex periments and tests show the need I for protein supplements if the i j maximum gain is to be realized. 1 | The quarterly bulletin of the ag- 1 jricultural experiment station of; the Michigan State College for Au- ! gust cites two specific cases where ' | a protein supplement, linseed meal, j jwas fed to one lot of beef cat-j j tie, and where the supplement was! ! omitted. The linseed meal fed to j jlot two, according to the bulletin, j lin addition to the ration of shelled | i corn, corn silage and alfalfa hay j [ received by lot three, increased J I the average daily gain .15 pounds, ( | and increased the selling value 20c j per hundredweight. The feeding j methods of the protein supplement j in order to insure the maximum j gain, should follow three definite j rules: (I) The poorer the hay or j other roughage, the more supple-! ment is needed; (2) The younger j the stock, the more supplement j needed;- (3) The increase of the ■ supplement feed toward the end | of the fieeding period. A study has likewise been made I of the proper protein supplement, j for beef cattle. This research has J Ted to the more general acceptance • of the balanced ration for proper feeding.
