The State superintendent of j
education has published the
names of 70 young men of the
various counties to whom Clcmson
scholarships have been award-'
ed as the result of recent competitive
examinations. Now the
law as to the award of these
scholarships provides, if our
memory is not at fault, that only
those young men who are the
sons of parents unable to pay
their tuition, etc., shall be the
benefiiciaries of the State's generosity,
but a glance at the;
names of the young men to whom !
this last batch of scholarships:
has been awarded discloses the!
tact that the law has been flagrantly
disregarded, for there j
are beneficiaries named in the,
list, and no inconsiderable num-1
ber, either, who arc the sons of,
some of the most prosperous cifci- j
zens of the State. Poor boys who
are worthy of this State aid are }
thus being deprived of their
rights that the sons of daddies j
who are easily able to pay for
the education of their offspring
may be benefitted. This is only ,
one of the many outrages to
which the tax-payers of the
State are subjected, of course,
but it certainly seem sthat some-;
thing should be done to remedy
this wrong.
We hope that every child of
school age in this community is
now attending school. If there
r.re some who intend to go to
school and have not started lot;
them get their books together1
and be on hand Monday morning, i
Some parents do notm seem to
realize that the best "time for
their children to start to school;
is the first school day, and the j
best time to leave is the last day j
of the last school term of the
school year. Especially should 1
this be the case with the first
? yea1* pupils, that is. pupils who
are entering school for the first
time after reaching six years of
age. They should not enter after
the first month. The interruption
and hindrance to_the rest;
of the pupils of this grade is!
more than any considerate parent
ought to demand. If your
child does not become of school
age (six years old) till after the
first month of the term is past,
or if you do not get ready to send
hi n the first month, keep him
out till the beginning of the j
next term.
k* Prohibition in the citv of Finn
cor, Maine, the citadel of prohibition,
is reported to be a mon- j
strous joke. Bangor has a popu
Jation of something- like 2:5,000, i
and from tiff.;/ to two hundred
bars have been doing a good business
there for the past ten years.
The cheapest kind of lienor sells
for fifty or seventy-five cents a
pint. At the hotels, as in many
of the prohibition towns in tins
State and North Caroi nn, visitors
often fed the de?,ire or net d
of a little whiskey and appeal to
the hell boys, but usually get the
answer that it cannot be bought.
A small tip, however, wid cause
an unlimited supply to be proThousands
of city people are
daily counting the hours when!
they can leave for some lake or
river for an outing, where they |
can fight mosquitoes and bugs
i for a few days, and perhaps get;
Cur School?One Class vs. Another.
The old school bell again chimes
out "come," and as we look forth
and see the groups of boys and
girls on their way to school, we
note some whose elastic step and
cheerful faces are highly indicative
of the soul and mind, and all
such will prove a blessing to
themselves, their teachers and
their school. Their actions show
their anxiety for work; their lessons
Will be perfectly prepared:
their recitations well given, and
they will attain to that round on
the ladder of fame and learning

ciuieu success, iney wm master
all knotty problems, not only in
school but in life. They will not
require punishing in order to
teach them the necessity of getting
their lessons. They study
because they love to; are industrious
and energetic from principle;
their life will be a success.
Following comes another groim
of boys whose lagging steps a d
[sullen faces show that the souna
of the bell grated harshly upon
their ears. These boys will prove
unruly, unkind and, unlike the
other class named will take but
little interest in their work, and
at the end of the year, in spite
of a teacher's earnest efforts in
their behalf, will be but little
farther advanced than in the
beginning.
We need not say what the result
will be in the latter case, but
to these boys' parents we wish
to say, try to cultivate in their
minds a love for the school and
school work. Sec to it that they
are in school every day; that
their report cards show a good
grade or know why such is net
the case. In other words see if
you can't control your boys and
not depend upon the teacher to
do it.
The Dend-Beat Must Go.
Merchants in Durham and in
Concord have, according to the
Monroe Enquirer, adopted the
plan of selling their accounts
against non-paying customers at
public auction. The threat to
sell his account at auction might
move some old dead-boat to action,
but some of t'nern simply
iv.iva tgi.ttwr* ..f Inn
of character, no regard for an
honest name, and nothing but a
shotgun with a rnaiv who means
business behind it. will get a
move on them. The business
life of the South has been cursed
with the dead-beat. He eats the
grocer's stuff, wears the dry
goods merchant's clothes, takes
the doctor's medicine, the lawyer's
advice and the editor's paper,
all of which he gets for
nothing, the dead-beat doe3. On
the books of the business men ol
this country are multiplied thousands
of dollars worth of accounts
uncollected and uncollectable. It
is high time the dead-beat was
squelched, and he is being sat
upon and that hard. The deadbeat
has a harder time now than
he ever had in making a living
oft' of honest people. Polks art
more inclined to pay debts now
than ever before and the deadbeat
is dying out beautifully fast.
It is the duty of the business
world to kill the dead-beat. The
man who is not able to pav, whe
gets into hard lines through nc
fault of bis own, who hits the
rough places hard and falls, doserves
sympathy ami the ole
world, rough as it is, always has
a helping hand for the straight
and honest man who "gets ur
against it," but we are writing
these lines not about the unfortunate
honest man. but against
the pesky old dead-beat, the fellow
who lives better than docs
the hprd-working man whose
bread he eats, he is the fellow
that we are saying these tilings
about, and right here we feel the
need of some sound emphatic
words, regular "boss lot" words.
N . v. spaper words that the women
and children are supposed tc
road are not equal to the occasion
when something is t"* be
said about that parasite on the
business body - the dead-beat.
11c has robbed honest men of
what is justly due them too long.
Put him in disrepute. Close
your church doors against him
when he applies for membership,
make him a social outcast, deny
him a place at the political pic
counter and let him die without
benefit of clergy and be buried
without ceremony, and the memory
of him be blotted out, for he
has bean and is the curse of the
business life of this our good
country, the dead-beat has been,

Work of the Combing Gin.
Mr. James T. Fuller, president
of the Fuller Combing Gin Company,
of Charlotte, has just returned
from an extensive trip
through the South and Southwest,
says The Observer. He
spent ten weeks in the Mississippi
region and the Colorado river
valley in Texas for the purpose
of demonstrating by actual experiment
the commercial possibilities
of the combing gin.
' Abundant success crowned his
' efforts, so much so that the entire
output of his factory has

"The superiority of the new
process of ginning was demonstrated
at two points in Arkansas,"
said Mr. Fuller, "namely,
i Blytheville and Oseeola, thriving
cotton centers. The cotton used
in the experiments was raised in
the St. Francis river basin and
owing to the presence of much
foreign matter was exceedingly
heavy and hard to handle. The
machines were given the most
difficult test possible. The sta!
pie treated by the process was
pronounced by expert judges to
be worth at least $5 per bale
more than that handled according
to the old process,
j "At Wharton, Tex., types of
the two gins were placed in the
same house so that the operation
of both could be watched at
once. Separate cleaning and
feeding mechincry and separate
'1 presses were used. The cotton
after being ginned was shipped
to Houston and sampled undei
I the auspices of the warehouse
interests there. These samples
. were submitted to a committee
of experts from the Houston cot;
ton exchange who reported most
f ivora'oly for the new process.
They found the combed staple
: much smoother and brighter thar
that ginned by the saw gins and
! graded it $1.50 higher per bale.
i he coiton was entirely free from
i dirt and foreign matter to start
with anil consequently was ot
; very high grade. Such being
| the case, the difference between
; the old and new processes was
entirely in the ginning and not
in the cleaning. The value ot
, the combing process was very
evident when the finished product
was carefully examined.
! Short and tangled fibre which is
so -common with the saw gins
! i was not in evidence.
In addition to new crop cotton,
a quantity of old crop cotton was
also treated. This cotton was

tho generally accepted limitation of
human life is many years below the attainment
possible with the advanced
knowledge of which the ruco is now
possessed. Tho critical period, that dct
tenuities its duration, seems to be bo|
