Compulsory Education.
To tbe Editor of the Dispatch:
Dear Josb:?It may be in order
now, that compulsory education is
'bfcing agitated in South Carolina for
as outsider who knows something of
- the iffcct of compulsory education to
give his views on tbe surj ct, I trust
job will give it space in ><>ur paper.
The Ameiican siate is its peopl*;
its institutions are tbe joint product
ifa oiivprDment no
U; DUO , .v
more intelligent than it frame*; fceDce
intelligent citizenship, a duty we owe
to posterity if continued growth toward
a perfect government by the
people is a reasonable hope. The
^ above are views taken from the
State'* views. .
(*o
As to the individual: The child jar ;
irresponsible and without authority j
to control its acte; education is not a j
privilege but a m>ht it enjoys; fail
to educate the child and tu later !
years it will comdemn every plan
and person that deprived it of its
rights by failing to guide its steps at
a time that others, not the child, was
racartrtncihip for its moral ?nd
__
intellectual care and keeping. Yon
?have produced a disqonted citiz-r;
' discontent breeds evif; you have an
Illiterate citizen, and that shuts him
out from a major portion of avoca
irons in which promotion for merit is
possible; to discontent you add idle8688;?idlecess
through no choice, but
because opportunity is minimized; discontent
based upon an injustice done
him in childhood?idleness; what is
the logic of the situation ? What
follows naturally ? Crime.
A criminal is a negative quantity
is the'State; as criminality increases,
society loses confidence in itself; that
"nothing succeeds like success^ is
equally applicable to public morality
and to business Further, the propeitiou
that an elementary education I
made free by the State is right, car- I
ries with it another, that to deprive |
and child (or permit the deprivation)
by the Srate, is wroDg, therefore, it
is right that the State shall decline
to permit sny bar to this right of
education, but should itself enforce
it, and then we arrive at the fundamental
principles upon which to base
the law for compulsory education.
I trust the compulsory education bill
before the Legislature of your State,
will pass, first in a modified form as
suggested by your worthy Governor
and changed as experience suggest.

Often The Kidneys Are !
Weakened by Over-Work.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
It used to be considered that only
urinary and bladder troubles were to be
i traced to the kidneys.
but now modern
science proves that
nearly all diseases
have their beginning
tj| in the disorder -of
I t^CSe most hnportant
/ CJj MIU The kidneys filter '
d" and purify the blood?
y that is their work.
: Therefore, when your kidneys are weak
or out of order, you can understand how
quickly your entire body is affected and
how every organ seems to fail to do its
duty.
If you are sick or " feel badly,"' begin
taking the great kidney remedy, Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon'
as your kidneys are well they will help
' all the other organs to health. A trial
will convince anyone.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys.
The mild and the extraordinary effect.of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney remedy* is soon realized.. It
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases, and is sold
on its merits by all
druggists in fifty-cent ggjjfcJsa&Jgi
and one-dollar size
bottles. You may
have a sample bottle Homo of Swamp-Root,
by mail free, also a pamphlet telling you
how. to find out if you have kidney or
bladder trouble. Mention this paper

Opposed Motion.
Io opposing the motion for a new
trial in the case of the State vs.
Marion Parr, convicted of the murder
of Clarence Shealy, Solicitor
George Bell Timmerman said that
tbe accused bad been given a fair
trial and bad been convicted by a*
fair and impartial jury. Tbe court
had appointed able and tfficicDt
nouns*], who bad made a worthy
fight for their client and after being
given every advantage known to the
law he bad been convicted by a jury
of 12 of bis peers. As to the alleged
discrepancies in the testimony of the
witnesses tbe variations had been
very slight, ana then only ae to such
tbiDgs of time and distance, which
variations will occur whenever different
persons are called upon to judge
such things. Tee differences could
be accounted for by tbe fact that
human mind differ and that scarcely
any two persons will give an absolutely
identical version of tbe same
occurrence. The Solicitor closed by
sajibg that tbe verdict had been
rendeftd by 12 honest and conscientious
men a d it ought to be upheld
by the court.
Ic is alleged that since bis conviction
Patr has confessed to tbe
murder of young Sbealy.
Sick Headache.
This distressing ailment results from
a disordered condition of the stomach.
All that is needed to effect a cure is a
dose or two of Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets. In fact, the attack
may be warded off, or greatly lassened
in severity, by taking a dose of these
Tablets as soon as the first symptom of
an attack appears. Sold by The Kaufmarm

was unusual and attracted considerable
attention.
Very little fertilizers have been
ordered by the farmers of Orangeburg

the acreage in cotton will be materially
reduced, perhaps more than
odg fourth.
