Fonlcc Wrrc Trained to Food Upon the Flenh of Their Matee, While the Dire HardMhipe and Mishaps of Fate Compel the Men to Eat Pet Dog. The story told by Capt. Koch, a I^anlsh explorer, of the crossing of Greenland in company with ' three hardy companions shows that the dangers and hardships to be encoun tered on the great Inland Icefield have not decreased since Peary and Nansen Journeyed over a part of the same wastes. The Danish leader and his three companions, Dr. Wagenor, a German; I>arsen, a sailor, and Slgurdson, a na- tice of Iceland, were reduced during their journey to eating a pet dog, the only animal left. After landing on July 21, 1912, the first mishap encountered was tiie John J. McMahan IM»ou*»e« Vital (hiestIon and (dves lU'aeons for Compulsory Education. The enlightened mind revolts at the idea of ignorant parents compell ing their children to remain In Igno rance without availing themselves ol the schooling offered free by the State within the reach of every home. Add to those that never go to school the large number that attend irregu larly, and we probably have half of the children falling to make propei use of the facilities provided for their education. Let us consider the mean ing of it ail, as If we\erc explaining to the simplest mind tha: does not see the evil. The child Is not his own master, but Is subject to his parent. Loft to himself, the child will be Ignorant and undeveloped. He will not have a compelling desire for knowledge, and will not apply himself to learn, until he Is made to taste a sample and perceive that It Is good acquire, an appetite for learning, Meantime, unless made to go to school he may prefer to idle at home.

This program was decided on some time ago, so It Is understood, and, It is claimed, will be put in actual oper ation by the first of next month. That the McLaurin backers are anxious to obtain the endorsement of Governor Cole L. Hlease is also well understood, but it is stated that they have been unable to do so. It Is un derstood that Governor Hlease was invited to Hendersonville some time hack, and the advantages of the Mc Laurin organization outlined to him, and he was urged to enter the combi nation, endorse McLaurin for Gov ernor and they would back him for the Senate. lo«s of some ponies.

SPA1TAM0I6 IIFICIRS KEEP ' PRISONER.SAFE THREE MEN WOUNDED Sheriff and Deputies Cause Crowd Bent on Lynching Negro Charged With Chiminal Assault to Disperse By Threatening to Kill First Man Entering Prison Gates. “Gentlemen, I beg you not to pro ceed through this gate. I am In dead ly earnest. I will kill the first man who advances a step, though he should be my best friend.” W. J. White, sheriff of Spartanburg Coun ty, thus addressed a mob bent on lynching Will Fair, a negro prisoner, accused of assaulting a white wsman, when a crowd of five hundred men, after being repeatedly repulsed with pistol shots, blew down the gate in the out*T wall of the county jail late Monday night with dynamite.

The dispensary elections are over, in at least eleven counties of the State, as a result of Tuesday's voting and seven of this number gain the legalized state or county dispensary system. In two cases the vote was so close that official tabulation will be neces sary to establish the result. In near ly all others the margin was small. Florence and Jasper have retained the dispensary system while Bam berg, Barnwell, Dorchester, Calhoun and Orangeburg have voted to return to the sale of liquor by the county. Abbeville, Lexington, Williamsburg and Sumter voted to remain dry, though Sumter may win out on ap peal and recount. Of the counties which went dry Abbeville was the only one giving a decided majority, the anti-dispensary forces in that county piling up a ma jority of o.'S against the sale of li quor. In the other counties which went dry the vote was very ckme.

After carefully look ing at the five negroes the Spartan- burg woman stepped in front of Will Fair and said, “That is the one.” Urged to be positive she stepped clos er to the negro and again pointing him out, asked: “Isn’t your name Will Fair?” The negro answered that is was and started to protest his innocence when interrupted by Capt. W. H. Sondley of the penitentiary guard. After identifying the negro the woman fell fainting to the floor bift was soon revived and was able later to accompany h-r relatives on a trip of inspection through the peniten tiary.

This mod ification of natural deeire^to recog nized duties has come to be best de scribed by a term derived from the classical name for the pupil in school, the ideal of all schooling being the resultant “discipline”, the mental and moral acquisition of the true dis ciple or pupil. Regular Attendance. If the child goes td school spas modically, he will have more friction with the teacher than otherwise, for he will not be as well up in his stud ies, or as well trained to applying himself, or as accustomed to obey, and thua he will have to be the more controlled, punished if need be, and as a result of the corrections or pun ishments he will be angered and have further disposition to vent his resent ment by staying away at will or alto gether. Poor attendance breeds worse attendance. Irregular attendance ends in non-attendance. If the par ent indulges him, let him he his own master, spoils him, he will do poor work at school or will stay away. Such is often the Indulged child of parents who should know better and do better, and not very different in the misfortune of the neglected child of parents of a peculiar type of ig norance.

An end should be made to letting children come to school Just often enough to disturb the work of the regular attendants and not enough to do themselves any real good. An end should also be put to the whimsical action of ignorant and prejudiced parents who keep their children from school altogether. State compulsion of education should stop parental compulsion of ignor ance. John J. McMahan. Columbia, August 16.

White headed one posse and Chief Moss P. Hayes, of the Spartan burg police, another. A posse of which Samuel J.

He said the negro they were seeking was named W r ill Fair. W T ill Fair was trac ed to Glendale, where he was seen to board a car for Spartanburg. Other clues were obtained which led to the arrest of Fair several hours later at the Southern Railway station In Spartanburg by Rural Policeman J. M. 'y^lliams.
