LI hesitate to draw the line Between the two?where God has not." J * * THURSDAY, MAR. 13, 1913 | = i Compulsory Education. ' _ The question ??f compulsory education, albeit it lias been put to sleep for a year by Coventor & Blease's veto, is, as its advocates are fond of Insisting, by no means a dead issue. The House of Hep-! " resentatives passed the so-called i P" V* local option bill overwhelmingly and even pressed the measure over the veto of the (iovernor. I (Williamsburg county's delegation in the House voted for the bill, while Senator Epps made a gallant fight opposing it. t We congratulate Senator Epps (upon the splendid speech he made against this mischief-breeding piece of legislation. He had but little ^ grounds to base his opposition - upon, for the strongest argument we have heart! in favor of the bill is that it was so framed that f it "could do no harm." \ veri * table sop to Cerberus, it seems. * From certain quarters came a howl for "compulsory education" and the legislators, suspecting that the woolly creature that they were asked to turn loose upon their innocent and unsuspecting constituents might have sharp claws concealed 'neath the velvet exterior, explain that they voted for this monstrosity to be let loose upon society, but that they took care to extract its fangs. A logical argument, forsooth. Let us get down to stubborn f facts. Already a large portion of f the public school funds is heing applied to the education of negroes. The most of the revenue on which our public school system is dependent comes out of the pockets of the white taxpayers. While we are opposed to the education of the negro, we have no object ion, as a matter of ? simple justice, to his getting his i ? share of the taxes paid fur school f purposes. What we object to is the white man's money going to educate negro children and under a compulsory law we cannot see .how?a greater subsidy than eve r for the education of the ' brother in black'' can be avoided. They tell us that all the ne groes who f can possibly attend school are already going. We are skeptical as to the truth of this statement, 7')Ut, assuming that it be true, wliv pas* a law to fur-( i nisli them with text books and, pos-ibly, elothe> and food. <>1,, Nut they say it will force many white children into the ? i-__.nl school-, who ;iro now doing ;uij kinds of work. Will it? Wc| think not. When it comes to! interfering with parental govern-1 nicnt m? far a- to pi# the father and mother on the chain- i gang utiles- they send their ehil-i dreii, who are needed at home.! to school, who will dare to en-j force such a law? r The inost ardent advocate- ofj the law ti-ll you-ignitieatly: "i >h, you know, these things will U so managed that no hardship will l?e worked on a ii'luft family." In other words, the white children are not to he forced to do what they object to doing, and yet the law is to compel parents to send their children to c?111bol \ow_ then, if the negroes are all voluntarily sending they; children to school, and the law does not coin|H*l the whites to send their children, what, in the heaven's name, is the use to burden the statute hooks with such a farcical measure? Already we havt?if we are not mistaken? a law to fly the State tlau over every public building and every school-house in South Carolina. How many such buildings do we see Hying the State Hag? The statute hooks are already crowded " i?h tln'itrefieil nnd nonradical laws, why Immien thorn further? If a compulsory law wore passed it would necessarily include free text books. and even clothing and actual subsistence for the pupil, if it could he proven that the parents whose child was taken from them were unahle to provide I HK)k>, or even the necessaries of life, and the law would apply to black and white alike, or it -.1 i i - ...i. .11.. W0U1U IK* \YJlUll> mupciuutu. Should r?ucli a law bo enacted, l>etter it ho a failure; but, bettor still, let it never l>e enacted. We believe in gitfcig honor where honor is due. Through the kindness of several friends we have been to drive over several of the roads leading out from and into town and improvement is*visible on every roa<b Mr Eaddy is the right man in the right place and we think he will give us good roads as far as possible j within hisl limitations. But the county should furnish Mr Eaddy a first-class automobile find pay to keep it up, in order that "he may I constitute himself a sort of "Hying squadron," ln?ing everywhere at once without having to expend his entire salary in transportation expenses. If the ways and means l>e forthcoming, we lwdiovp! John M Eaddv will be las nearly ubiquitous as any man in Williamsburg or even Florence county. With this issue we begin Volume XXVII of The County Record. This means that the paper has weathered the storms of twenty-six years and is now "going on" twenty-seven years old. The present editor has been at the helm for fifteen years, the greater part of the life Jof the paper. We most earnestly and sincerely thank our patrons for their liberal support, sympathy and tolerance with our shortcomings and promise them in the future to do as wej have done in the past?our best. No man can- do more. I Court of Common Pleas. The spring term of the court of common pleas convened here Monday morning with Judge Ernest Gary presiding and Court Stenographer L E Wood at his usuai post. There were 1J4 cases on the calendar for consideration and disposal. A large majority of these, however, rases at. ] have hern con tinued for several years and will, like a number of others, be finally stricken from the court calendars without trial. On the jury calendar there were :U cases, only two of which were brought fo trial, viz: The John F Hiley Foundry & Machine Works vs Mr 1' 1) Th":n, suit on account, and Mr N X XewHI vs Mr X M Venters.suu lor damages. The plaintiff in the iirst named case was awarded a verdict,while the latter was a mistrial, the jury, after being out several hours, failing to agree. Eiprhteen other jury cases were disposed of without trial.either through compromise or non-suit, while eleven were marked "continued" on the calendar. Court adjourned Monday night about 9:30 for the term. Items from Hebron. Hebron, March 11:?Owing to the heavy rainfall the tilling of the soil has been at a standstill for the past week in this community. Very few people of this section have planted beans yet. Efforts are being made to get this crop planted as early as possible. ) All who are planting tobacco have about finished cutting wood to cure it. We hope that we shall all make a good crop of the "weed" and get good prices for it. Mrs Sarah A DuBose. of our community, who has been very ill for some time, is again able to be up. We hope that she will continue to improve. Her sister,Mrs Roberson, of Horry county, is still with her. We are very proud or our new ] school building. Our board of trustees, with the aid of Mr Bartow Smith and the hearty co-operation of some of the patrons, have given us an elegant new school house, for which we are very grateful. All the patrons were invited by the trustees to meet at the new school house on February 24. A number accepted and when all were gathered in the school room with their teachers, Misses Ola McElveen and Olive Smith, the former lady in a fewwords expressed her gratification for the privilege of meeting together on this occasion. She asked Rev James Gibbons to lead in prayer. After prayer was offered she inquired if anyone wished to say anything, and Rev Mr Gibbons then spoke of his being grateful for the occasion and then to the children he directed his remarks, which wereN apt and inA ' ' TIT? il%A^ a rv\!

We had a pleasant quarterly conference at Hebron last Saturday and Sunday, March S-9. The presiding elder preached a fine sermon both days. The pastor,Rev J L Mullinix, was not present at the service on Saturday, being called to Darlington to one of his daughters, who was sick, but we were glad to see him in time for the conference,and are a so glad that his daughter is better.
