He said ;he did j not favor appealing such cases to the i federal court, but 'believed in abiding by the decisions of our own court. tut TRAIT, V.l Xlljj IIIIV.'W x The editor of The Herald and News has received the following letter from the State superintendent of education: Columbia, September 4, 1915. Col. E. H. A-ull, ( Newberry S. C,. ; Dear Colonel: ? ! In a recent issue of /The Herald and! News, I read your attack on the policy of the State department of education with reference to the improvement of mill schools. As State superintendent, I have recommended several activities. Every recommendation has sought to establish a homogeneous, home-owning, home-loving, self-respecting citizenship. One-fifth of our white population lives in mill villages. These manufac turing centers have proved a Diessmg fry providing work for the operatives and a market for the farmers Their schools, however, have been neglected. | I believe the cotton mill management I and the cotton mill workers are anx- j ious for improvement. The State supervisor of mill schools and the county supervisor of " mill schools in Spartanburg are trying to work out a practical and constructive program. This program will be an essential part of the public school policy _ * XI ui uie cuiic* Your suggestions, either in private or in public, will be appreciated. Since you are attacking what has been attempted by me as Sta-*e superintendent, I shall be grateful for a full statement of your own views, outlining the policy you would inaugurate for the betterment of mill schools, Yours respectfully, J. E. Swearingen, State Supt. otf Education. We have never made any attack on the policy of the State superintendent of education with reference to the improvement of mill schools, or in any other manner, so far as we can recall. Some time ago we did quote with ap proval an editorial from the Greenville Piedmont which took tne position that the mill schools, as they are called, should be a part of the school system of the State and should not 'be dealt with separately, as if the mill people, or mill workers, were a different people. If that be an attack, then make the mast of it. But it seems to us that you are on the wrong trail, if you are hunting some one who has made an attack. We suppose the State superintendent would call a criticism or a suggestion that did not agree with his policy "an attack" on the State department. Tne very purpose 01 me criticism o; j the Piedmont was against the effort, i I a? it seemed to us, to treat the people who live in the mill village as a sep; arate and distinct race who needed a separate and distinct plan or system of education, and also against the mills owning and operating the schools instead of having them under the same board of trustees and the same superintendent as all other public schools, and, in fact, endeavoring to encourage the establishment of " a homogeneous, home-owning, home-loving, self-re'specting citizenship," just as the State superintendent suggests, and the very thing that The Herald and News com 3 - J iuenueu. To that end, as we recall i t, the ? Pi' dmont did not think it was necessa;y to have a State supervisor especially for mill schools. To be frank, we have felt as much, but we have not said anything about it for reasons satisfactory to ounself, and for the further reason that there are always little minds ready to question your mo tives, and who would consider a I criticism or a suggestion as an attaclc J on a policy. You are on the wrong trail, iMr. State Superintendent, we have made no attack on you or on the "policy of the State department of education," and we have no suggestions to make to you now, but from time to time, in the conduct of the editorial policy of The Herald ?nd News we may have some / thing to say on public matters, and if they be the schools, or the mill schools as you term them, we will say it frank. ! ly and plainly and will send you a copy j ot the paper, as we have heretofore done. Vv'e might say in this connection, if your desire is to establish a I, hf>ni-: ecus people vvhy have a sep aratesvstem for the miil schools. Whv j i not have them under the same board o; trustees and the same superintendent in the same community. We hope yeur plan in Spartanburg will work j out for the good of the citizenship of i . the State, aDd if it does there will! i be none more readv to commend it. i I j A e do not now criticise it because we J j do not know what it is. i We do not 'believe the mill schools | should he privately owned and controlled by the mill corporation, or that the corporation shou'd pay for the support of the school, and that is about what the Piedmont said and what we I i | commended, and that is all the attack we nave maut; iai as v*e cau uu n recall. We believe the children of the mill people should be treated as other children, and as if they were the children of the State just as other children are. That was all. If that is an attack then we can't help it. Mr. Bfeftse Returns to South Carolina. iVTW* VQ VQIIPV !Vir2171 IAD ?? v, * -sj ? * c> ?

SAYS FALL TRADE IS TO BE BRISK Caldwell & Kaltiwanger Firm Buys jJ Heavily in Expedition of Lively Autumn Business. R. M. /Caldwell is an Optimistic Co- j lumbia business men, says the State, who expects trade to re- : vive notably this fall and winter. Mr. Caldwell has recently re- 1 turned from the Northern markets, t where he bought autumn stock for ( the firm of Caldwell & Haltiwanger, dealing in dry goods and women's garments. While in New York the Co- '< lumbia merchant came in contact with j i business men Xrom all sections of *ne !: South and West. "In the West business is booming," Mr. Caldwell said 1 esterday. "Merchants from that ter- 1 ritorv have not felt the pinch from the ^ war." 1 Speaking of the general impression < he received from business men of * other sections of the South, he said: "They were all optimistic, and expect- '< ing heavy trading this fall. This atti- < tude was sustained by the hopeful 1 encouragement of Northern dealers, 1 who believe that the Southern mer- 1 chants are to have an unusually good < .fall and winter trade. People have 1 been holding back somewhat, but the 1 tirviQ ic paniHlv nnnrrvarhin? when nee- 1 - ?o w # lected purchases will have to be 1 made.
