CAPT. 11A MEL ADVOCATES COM
PULSORY EDUCATION.
Representative Hamel, of the
Lancaster delegation, is taking a
deep interest in tlie proposed
compulsory education bill. The
measure was debated at length
in the House Wednesday, Mr
Hamel taking an active part in
the discussion. The State makes
the following mention of Mr
Ham el's speech:
Capt. J. VV. Ilamel of Laurafer
made an earnest plea for
South Carolina to bring her citizenship
up to a higher plane.?

that principle of government
thore is in the c institution a fixed
tax lor schools. Is it lair to
maintain penal institutions for
the punishment of crime and not
provide protection against ignorance
which leads to that crime.
There is a prodigal waste oi
intellect needing development.?
He would not condemn his child
in ignorance merely to keep the
negro ignorant. For the educated
white man can tear nothing
from the educated negro and tin
clashes come belwten the igno
