MORE ABOUT SCHOOLS.
The following news item is sen
out from Spartanburg:
'Five school districts of this
county voted during the past
week to increase their tax levies <
for school purposes. Wellford
increased its levy from 8 to 10
mills; Cowpens, from 6 to 14
mills. Piedmont, from 4 to 10
mills; Jolly, from 4 to s mllis,
and Oakland passed a similar in
crease. The two last named -aistricts
approved bond issues for
the erection of handsome school
buildings, Jolly's to cua? ?4,0UU
and Oakland's to cost $6,000.
.limoat every school district in
this county has increased its tax
lovy for school purposes within
the past s'ix months."
While five school districts in Spartanburg
county were voting special
+..1- hotter CfVinftls last
iveei; not one in Abbeviile was so
voting so far as we are informed.
The school districts in Spartanburg
county which are voting more than
e.jjhl mills special levy >v:il receive
support from the state appropriation,
should these districts need extra
money to enable the trustees to run
the schools for seven months. Abbeville
county will pay its pars of this
appropriation, but the entire appropriation
will be spent outside of Abbeville
County, or practically so, unless
the people in this county get
busy.
The school districts in Spartanburg
....'county voting the special levies will
no doubt have better school Dulldings
and better equipment. In order-to do
so the Department of Education in
this State, acting under the law, will
give to these districts their snare of
the state appropriation to help build
better school " buildings. Abbeville
county will contribute to tne appropriation
made by. the state for this
purpose and vfr ill help build better
school houses in Spartanburg county,
but the people of this county, unless
they change their way oi doing,
will themselves get none of the benefits
from this appropriation.
We repeat the question, "Are we
unable to be selfish." If we are not
progressive enough to build and equip
school buildings the equal of any in
the state for the education of the
boys and girls of Abbeville county,
oon wa nKo -moon onnntrh tn trv tn

pet the part which might come to us
if we did as well as other counties in
the matter of special levies? Of right

we are entitled to about one-fiftieth i
of the entire appropriation because i
we pay that fraction of it, but we i
sit idly by and allow other more pro- i
gressive counties and other more progressive
and more thoughtful people
in school districts in these counties to
take our money and help themselves.'
We ar; far and away oehind other "
counties in this matter of schools and '
school buildings, as we have said be-^
fore. Are we unable to wake up? Do
the people realize what we are miss-|
ing and that we are robbing the
I school children of this county of their
birthright, Can we not arouse the
people of the county to a juster conception
of their duty towards their,
j offspring and towards the community j
and the state? We stand at the foot
of the column in what we are doing
for the cause of education, and wr
seem to be content to stay there. We
! don't want anybody to "turn us'
down.", And because Abbeville coun-.
I ' I
I ty is towards the foot of th6 class in |
the state, we are one of the chief,
contributing causes to the sickness1
with which the whole state is affected.
Will the people do anything? In.
the language of Col. Lark Wilson,;
(and as we have before remarked,'
perhaps others) "We pause for a re-j
