We educate our lands. It is bul ; necessary io look around us to so? Hie truth of lilis statement. Lauds Hail sometimes are consider "worn mit" arc by drilling and fcrt.ii/.utioil, e?lu I ruted in a Ililli slate of usefulness. Once there was a prevailing idea thal i it did lands good tn let (hem "lie mit" for a crop y?*ar or so to regain some lol Ui?' strength leeched from them. ! Hut our progressiv?' tuen of today tan ! tell us from experience that this is worse than a waste for il is hut giv ing* the soil over to tile Weeds aile] the I tares, whereas hy varying the kind nf , crops, we may be able to put into Hie soil, by means of certain root crops or legumes Hie identical things re moved by years of digging. Wo educate our farm stock. First, we break them In and then we cure i for them lo make them useful for Hie longest period of time. The principle of education is as natural as life it self. And tliis leads to a brief dis cussion of the mutter of compulsory ed ucut ion. Tile mind of thc child is the soil iii which will grow thoughts, idle und vicious, or fruitful and productive of of the beauly of a well spent life. The Idle mind ls the devil's workshop, ami the idle brain, even If ll does not pro gress in Hie wrong direction will gradually become narrow in its per spective and limited in its vision and the child that is idle lu its mind, no mutter how useful it may be with itu nimble fingers will become dwarfed, that is the word. We look with sad ness upon the afflicted person whose body has not been permitted its full development. How mach more should we have cause to grieve over the stunted minds of the country Education is not merely the me chanical process of going t^school. The mind ls not developed by guiing blankly upon printed pages or staring without understanding at the black boards or listening with deuf ears tu wbut the teacher says. Education is training, discipline and application. The responsibility of the parent does not end when the child is .turned over to the,:teacher. The pa rent should know every day or every week if the child Is making progress. The child should not be .allowed to be out of school, or to be Idle when school ls not in session. jp i The bid Idea that the child's mind needs a rest is about in keeping with the belief that the land should He idle Thu child's mind is improved With ligut exercise. Let the child have a little reading to do through the va cation months, and occasionally peep into their school books. Try to get the child to love books, not to look upon school as a time ot servitude. It seems to us that no person can with any justice argue that compul pulsory attendance upon school ls wrong. There is no need for such a law in some communities Tho good people realize too clearly the ad vantages of sending their children to school. Hut there are some trifling, lazy men in the warld who would make tblr children slave thnt they may drone. A compulsory ati?ndanse law is not in any way repulsive to mw abiding citizens. It would exempt children who are required to work for the support of widowed mothers. It does not Interfere with, the person, al liberty of any one. But it does give liberty and protection to the child whose male parent has not enough of manhood, or christianity and ot love in hts heart to wish to see the mind of his little one expand under (he kindly influences of good teachers as the rose hud expands under the be neficent stimulus of the spring sun shine. We believe there ls no man who would seriously say that thc state has no right to help bis child. Why, of course it has. If that child were to commit a crime the state hus a right to take lt and send it to the reforma tory. The state makes thc parent clothe thu '-bibi's body, shall its soul he naked? The child has rights in the keeping of the slate as well as the purent and If the "sorry" parent will not yield to the child its rights, the state may step in and protect the child. This IS the .-ase with inheri tance of property from a deceased pa-, l ent who might have felt that the Sur viving parent would squander {tbs little estate.' Why'should not the state then have: the' fight to protect the child from that other great infamy -Ignorance, which is ?worse Oven than poverty, for.In ignorance tho soul ts affected. The soul of the child is God's. Why, even their bodies are the temples of souls, and they too are God's. Man is not the master of himself. Me too, is God's. And as surely as God plac ed his disfavor on the slothful anrvant who would not educate his talent, In the parable In Matthew, Just so surely will He hold to accountlblllty' that man who dares to take from the call Iren their right tu have their miad? lovelopud, I heir souls educated. Il may liol he expedient or possible from u liiinin-inl Htaiidpolnl to have compulsory education for the whole state, hut Mw local option form In troduced hy Mr. MeCrnvy of Bickens, is harmless. The people now have u local option form of operating their special school district. Does thal mean that their trust?es are compelled to lill up your schools with negroes? Not u hit of it. To our own shame, be it said that.in some sections of the state tlie negroes are leaving nothing undone to get an education and thoir white neighbors seem asleep. ' This local option law would ;^low the whole people to Vote on the ques tion.,would allow every school district lo decide it for itself, lt would not be a boon for the negroes, hut could .be handled, as our funds are handled, en tirely to the advantage of the white people io whom this great country be longs and hy whom it will be gov erned as bing as a church spire points Its linger to the Seat of All Wisdom and ns long as one school house re mains in Hie country. Compulsory attendance strikes at no man's liberties, it will affect no proud, ambitious, proud working peo ple, but will drive the drones to work and strike the shackles from the arms of the little ones, bound to a grinding labor when they should be learning the lessons of school with which to be equipped to better meet the battles of life. A BABY'S HOSPITAL We have received from Mr. Chas. I loaron editor of the Spartanburg Her ald., a commutation to the follow ing effect: "1 want to ask you to call attention to the effort to cstublish at Saluda. N. C.. a baby's hospital. Now this insti tution is going to he maintained this year by the people of Snarl an burg. I think, but next year we want lt to serve every town in the state of nny considerable population. The idea is to build at Suluda, a baby's hospital to take care of all sick children whose parents are unable to send them to the mountains, or have th ni given proper care. The hospital authorities want to be in touch with the district nurses in each city and that district nurse may bvfng about the admission of chil dren to this institution. It strikes me that this is a very worthy charity and the beginning that we are mak ing promises its success. I want tu usk you to help the cause along in any way possible. We would be pleased if any perBons who are interested would communi cate with Mr. Hearon on this subject. In an editorial M,r. Hearon says: "There is a reason for the estab lishment of a baby hospital at Saluda, N. C., through the efforts of the peo ple of this section of South Carolina. That we have within thirty miles of this populous . region an altitude of 2.250 feet, where the climatic condit ions are absolutely Ideal for the re covery of sick children ls most unus ual, i This section of South Carolina is becoming more and more thickly inhabited and that means that with the increased population there is to be a steady increase in the number of ill children each year, and many of them may be served in the years to come, if there is on top of the moun tain an institution that will give them the care and attention they should have. "This baby hospital at Saluda is destined to become one of the great institutions of the region, and that it should have been established by the people of this city will be to them a great satisfaction in the years to. come. "The fund grew yesterday by a fuud of $150 which is the beginning of a rum that will enable those Interest ed In this movement to go ahead with their plans without delay." Commends Lewis Parker. As the bead of 18 southern cotton mills the words of Lewis W. Parker who spoke on Frlduy evening at a banquet In the Manufacturers' club, should carry especial weight concern ing the present condition of the cot ton textile Industry and the outlook for lt. These remarks are especially commended to those who may have been misled by partisans who. for po litical reasons, are Interested In mis representing the present situation: "A period of pruiitable business ls right at hand; foreign competition under the new tariff Is not going tc injure the textile Industry, and the outlook for all business the country over ls bright. . . "Notwithstanding the fact that we have heard of depression, the market is upon a profitable basis. I am an optimist; the time has come when we can all oe so. The textile industry is not threaten ed by foreign competition.

Your congressional jingo is * in a rage because the President of thc Uni ted States refuses to manage the Mex ican problem as the Jingo would have it done. Every devil of 'em is on Ids bead to have Huerta kept in place and power, and all of them are horrified at the suggestion of a recognition of Carranza. Huerta does not conceal the fact that his policy is to keep 90 per cent, of the Mexican people in a state of hopeless and abject peonuge that is infinitely worse than African slavery ever was In any of our' south ern states. According to. Huerta the most of the labor in Mexicb has no mission in this life but to'delve in the mine for the profit of a few men who own the country and have made "con cessions" to adventurous foreign capi tal from which has been spawned a hundred "revolutions" . in Latin America, and this good day Mexico would enjoy political tranquility if the dirty money freon our country and. Eu rope had nota been ventured to reap dividend from revolutiqn, war, rapine, murder and ?Aavery., yvwiJ " May iii John Sharp Williams read in the' United, States senate and, bad pr i it eu' in the Congressional Record a lefter from an ofllclal of (he "United States stationed in Mexico lb which the writer says that it would cost 1200,000 American lives and occasion an expenditure of $10,000,000,000 to overrun, conquer and subjugate tko I country. Here is his close: "lt would be' cheaper to take every refugee out ot here, pay him every dollar due -him, pension him for life and let his blatant mouth be heard at home, as insufferable as that would be, uher than engage In war." Mi. William Kent, a member of congress from California, expressed an admirable sentiment in relation to Mexico. He said he had money in vested in a mine down there, that be had abandoned lt till quiet is restored, and that as he would not willingly shed a drop of his own blood to make his property profitable, be would feel himself a coward to ask that the blood of one single American soldier be [spilled in the affair. There is a man, a patriot and his are the sentiments of a good Chris tian. If all the money ventured In Mexico were as clean as his there would be no revolution down there. Carranza and Villa may be very bad men; but neither is as bad as Huerta und both asserted . that their mission in politics and In war is the abolition of peonage in their unhappy country. They are agrarian, certainly, and they may be visionary, but anarchy will keep its state in Mexico until their dream ls realized. Land for the landless and letters for the ignorant are their war cry. It ought to ap peal to every American. Centuries ago Hernando Cortez with his cruel band, invaded Mexico and if there was any Jue tice there then it sloped to the uttermost ends bf the earth at hts approach and has never returned. Why .not try a little Jus tice down there? ' It cannot turn out worn? than the despotism they have had for hundreds of years:'I was talk ing with a senator tn congress-who has money invested in that country land he declared that Mexico was not I ready for liberty and justice and that il was a dreamer.

WAY TO FIX IT. ^Proclaim Himself President, Sainte 1 Onr Flag, Tell Us to Go. (Washington Dispatch to New York | Times.) One queer rumor of a day full of I rumors about the Mexican situation; was that when G?n?ral Carranza pro claimed himself Provisional President I of Mexico at Saltillo, he would at one | stroke remove the casus belli be tween the United State and Mexico by running up the American flag and giving it. a salute ot 21 guns. With the insult to the American flag thus atoned for and a ' Provisional Presi dent in power espousing constitutional, government, the supreme'chief is said to feel that all reason for American intervention will be removed. This report goes on to say that I Carranza would then ask the United ! states to withdraw its troops from Vera Cruz. To observers in Wash ington this has a humorous sound, I but lt ls In line with the position ! General Carranza ?as assumed. He] has airead said bluntly-that the Uni ted States waa stultify lug Itself lb demanding reparation for.a national' affront from the individual, Huerta, I whose official position he has always denied. The demand for apology should j have been made to him, he said, and ; General Gonzales, following the cap ture of Tampico, intimated strongly to Admiral Mayo that he hoped the "Verb Cruz incident" would end with honor to his country. ' Mow such a'reparation for the al most' forgotten insult to the flag" at ! Tampico would be received in Wash-1 lngton can scarcely be called doubt ful.
