planters In this Township had sowed their
small grain and had most of the land that
they were going to cultivate this year
well broken, and ready for the fertilizer
now. Not much small grain has been
6owed and it is feared that that is killed
and very little land has yet been broken,
and in a manner no farm work has been
done. Such being the case, the prospects
for a crop is not so bright this, as last

CAPITALIST IS INTERESTED
Detroit Man Will Look Over Field With
View to Building Abbeville-Anderson
Easley Trolley Lino.
Special to the State.
Anderson, Feb. 18or-It seems that th?>|
efforts to get some Northern capitalist in
terested in building the electric line from
Easley to Abbeville via. Anderson is bear
ing fruit. E. M. Hopkins of Detroit, who
has built several railroads and who has
plenty of capital behind him, has telegraph
ed to M. N. Patterson, who has been pro
moting the construction of the road, that
he will te in Anderson within the next
few days and will bring with him some ex
pert engineers, who will go over the pro
posed route with a view of preparing es
timates of the cost of building the road.
The proposed road will pass though some
of the very best farming lands in South
Carolina. The territory is thickly settled
by farmers of considerable means who
have expressed their intention of contri
buting liberally to the project. The length
of the road will be (JO miles.
SOLONS TAKING A SHORT
RECESS.
After its regular term of 40 days, the
, general assembly has found it necessary
to prolong its session, and will reconvene
next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock.
The senate and house both adjourned
I last Saturday night at 11:30 o'cloct witn
the appropriation bill still in the hands of
1 the free conference committee. It was ex
t.1 nfif.tfid that the bill would be sent to the
governor Saturday night, but the free con
ference committee struck a "snag." As a
result, the bill can not go to the governor
until next Wednesday night, This is the
tirst time in the lust few years that a
"! Sunday morning session of the general
? j assembly has not beeu held. Very few of
I the members went home Saturday, and
the session Saturday night was well at

a | A joint resolution providing for subniitt
01 ing the question to the electors of amend
ing the constitution of the State to pro
" I vide for suffrage for women was introduc
- ed iu the senate Saturday by Senator Hall.
e I The proposed amendment allows women
? to vote, but says that they shall not hold
1 office. The joint resolution, which the
senator from Cherokee county introduced
by request was the last measure to be
brought before the general assembly
duriug Its regular session.
VOTES FOR WOMEN'.
This is probably the first time that a
women's suffrage measure has been in
troduced in the South Carolina general as
sembly. Before the constitutional conven
tion 17 years ago the champions of the
woman s suffrage cause started a cam
paign which amounted to nothing in the
way of getting the right of balloting for
the women of the State. If the recess ses
sion of the senate last long enough, it is
possible that the joint resolution may
corse up for debate and adoption or re

of Senator Hall's measure being discus
ed.
among the several things for which th
present session of the legislature of Sout
Carolina has been remarkable is the nun
ber of times members of the house hav
availed themselves of privileges. Ofte
the speeches on questions of person*
privilege have been mere cloaks unde
which politial opinions were aired. On
speech of this nature has called fort
another. And, as a result, the entir
session of the present legislature has bee
swept by a political undercurrent, th
like of which nas not happened for th
past 20 years. .
One of the big questions which still r
mains undecided in the senate is whethe
the code of 1910 shall be adopted in it
present form, or -whether it be wise t
take a long recess with a view to gettinj
the code in better shape for adontior

The Old School and the New.
Gaffney Ledger.
Wo have seen schools that were as quie
dp a room full of borrows. We have seei
th? pupils sitting in strainfld positions
with head erect, hands by side, or armi
folded, turning neithod to the right noi
the left, or if moving, moving slowly
almost wearily with down cast eye, on tip
toe, with hands claspod behind the back
whispering not, smiling not, with the ligh
of the eye dull, and all the joyousness o
childhood driven from the faces of pupili
by the iierceness of the methods of th<
petty tyrant in charge.
'We have wondered whether the so-callec
school was not a prison, or a reformatorj
institution of some kind, and we can re
member how glad we were to get out agaii
into the free air and the bright sunshini
of the outer world we could again see i
child smile and hear the merry laugh, am
earnest happy voices of those who wen
free,
We have heard such schools praised a:
models of excellence, as schools of faultlesi
discipline, whose teachers, so earnest, s<
skilled, were worthy of memorials in bras:
or marble.
We never heard what become of thes
teachers.l. They are not mentioned witl
Arnold, or Froebel, or Pestalozzi. We am
Inclined to think that the progressCnj
waves of modern educational thought bavt
overthrown or overlapped them, and hai
left to us no trace of their doings or as.
istence.
It was not discipline, it was crualb]
torture, of a weak child by a strong grown
man or woman. It developed neithei
i strength of character, nor nobility or pur
pose. It drove out all joyousness, all love
and made the child worse by far than if ii

Who can say that lives have not boei
wrecked by some pet cruelty of som<
petted teacher. Who can that the mo
roseness the sullenness, the petty spite 01
mean uctions of some manhood may nol
havn l.oun thix rnunlt. nf ants of onDression
coramited thoughtlessly by the teacher ol
his boyhood.
Too much discipline, too much rule anc
regulation, too much of the martipet ii
the formalities of the schoolroom is fai
worse than the absence of all restartniiu
rules. For, if achlid is guided properly
carefully, thoughtfully, it will develope foi
good, but If it is continually and forcibly
held back, if It is deprived of all freedou
of speech or action, it will place itself ii
antagonism to the teacher, to the auttiorit;
of the school, to society. The antagonist)
wins in the contest, but it is at the expen&
of society. The bad boy, so made by thi
faulty discipline, becomes a bad man
Who is responsible.
We have, in our later days, come to se
some points on child manners and mov
ments, which we wish we had seen whe
we were young. We might be happiei
We know we shouid be proder.
Many of the so-called disobediences <
children are not willful. Many of the:
bad deeds are the result of uncontrollabl
Impulses. Very few of their bad acts ai
the results of deliberate thought. Max
of. them are the results of parentage?a
