At the present time there is much ado about the negro, the progess he is making, both along educational and industrial lines, and as to what will be the outcome of it all. The negro is here, not from his own choice, but through the greed of the white man for gain. He was not encouraged to come here by glowing accounts of the bright prospects ahead for him, as is the case with the great influx of foreigners, but he was kidnapped and brought here, and sold into slavery and made to serve the the white man like dumb brutes. These facts are familiar to every intelligent school boy. He was made so serve his time as a slave, and since his freedom he has served as the best laborer of any countrv. The negro has reached a point in the history of his race where he has become alive to the fact that he can better his condition, and to this end he is working. What he has accomplished and what he is accomplishing is well known to all intelligent minds; apd what he will accomplish in the future remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Intelligence and enlightment will tend to the bettering of any race and the negro is fully awake to this fact. He is pushing to the front, and for his chance? and the time he has had in which to do it, he has done as much for himself as any race has ever done. j The negro never misses an opportunity to learn all he can himself and to send his children to school. He will live on half rations and make almost any sacrifice when necessary to do so, that his children may attend Tv? l>n ttti r a ^a7? if. iq SUUUUl. j.11 11J19 UC xo vy iot, ivi xv 10 through the channels .of education that he must reach the goal of his ambition. We may talk about the progress of the negro, how independent he is getting and how hard it is to control him as a laborer, but is it any wonder? Shall we blame him, or does the blame attach to us? If we sit down and let the negro get ahead of us and our children is not tile fault ours? If we neglect the education of our sons and daughters, and the day comes when we see the negro stand at the ballot box and challenge the votes of our sons, what shall we say? Whose fault will it be? If we fail to provide the necessary means and to send our childrens to school, and the day comes when the negro lawyer, the negro doctor, the negro preacher and the negro farmer stand up as the equal, or, maybe the superior of some of our 'sons, what shall we say? Whose fault will it be? If we sit idly by and do nothing for our children it surely will come to pass, and then whose fault will it be, and how will we feel?<Think of it. < ; There is a remedy for this, and only one, and that is to keep ahead of the negro. The way to keep ahead of him is to have better schools and to educate our children better than te educates his. Knowledge is power, and ignorance has always had to bow before knowledge. There are a few people in every community who are able to educate their children and do educate them, but the masses in many of the rural districts are growing up almost in ignorance. This is due partly to poor school facilities and partly through a lack of proper interest being taken in schobls by parents. ( The free school funds are insufficient iu iuu uuc suuwiB ao uucj BIIUIUU uo i ran, and yet there are some parents who say they run too long and even others who are so blinded by the corse of ignorance as to say we should have no school at all. Oh, that something could be brought to bear on such parents that they might have their eyes opened. < \7hat we need is a good home school, where we can send our children and give them education sufficient to fit them for life. Many children whose parents are not able to send them off to school could acquire a splendid common and high school education at home, if our schools were only worked up to a 1 little higher standard. Good home ] schools are the very best schools and I cannot see why any reasonable man should not be willing to give them his support. Building up a good school means building up the community, building up the country and keeping ahead of the negro. Better schools mean more intelligence and more wealth. One has but to look at those little towns and villages where good schools are to see what has been accomplished. I would be ashamed to put myself on record as being opposed to the establishment of a good school in my community and too Stingy to give something for its support. It certainly must be sinful to 1 ~ J ue iua.ii uiutse usteu. Some men who own property and who have no children to educate oppose a good home school because they might have to pay a little tax for its support. Haven't they grandchildren and other relatives who need to be educated, and do they object to paying a couple of dollars yearly that these poor grandchildren may have the opportunity of being educated? Does it not look unchristian to be that hard? If you are getting old why try to withhold a few dollars from these relatives who need so ' much to be educated, when you knowT you cannot carry it with you to the next world, and soon it will fall into the hands of your children anyway? Millionaires give their thousands and tens of thousands for education and are you going to show less love for your own relatives and neighbor's children than these millionaires do for strangers? Surely not. Let U9 rise ijp in unity as the people have already done in many places and build up a fine school at Irmo. No place needs such a school worse than we do, and there is no better place to build such a school. Let us supplement our present school funds with a t.\vr? mill Iavu nnrl oonn urp I will have a school of which the community will be proud. Only two mills ] ?only twenty cents on each hundred i dollars worth of property we assess? and it will give us the necessary { amount of funds to work up a good j school at Irmo, where we all can fit j 4 our boys and girl9 for the stern realities of life. Let those who are not familiar with the law not listen at rumors that are circulated by enemies of the cause, but look into this matter for yourselves. There is to be no bonded indebtedness and the trustees cannot raise the valuation of your property, (! am ashamed that we have any people so ignorant as to think this) -but it will be two mills, and that only, so lontr a9 we see fit to leave it 90. If we dislike io we can vofce it off at any time during any year. Now let us lay by all prejudice and look the situation and the proposition square in the face, consider the small amount each one would pay?only twenty cents per hundred dollars worth?and surely any of us will decide that we are willing to give that mpch for a good home school. Let us vote it whether we have children or not, and we will see the bread coming upon the waters not many days hence. It seems almost unreasonable that any man would go to the ballot box and cast a vote against the establishment of a good school where it is so much needed, yet, for a certainty, there are some such. If I could not favor qo important a cause as this one I certainly would not declare myself opposed to it. If we are going to refuse to build up a home school and educate our children, when it can be done with so little cost to each, then let us hush about the negro getting ahead of the white man; and if, as the poet has said: "Ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise," Then let us remain in ignorance with our little two mills in our pockets, and soon we wiH awake to the fact that the negro is ahead of us. Then whose fault will it be? Let us think well and take the advice of the old lawyer who said: "Be sure you are right, then go ahead." H. Irmo, S.
