B. P. DIKIIS, Editor aMPraprletor THURSDAY. MARCH 26, 1914. The School Bond*. Ob Stturdty, the 28th inst, the vo- ten of the Barnwell Oraded School District will be given an opportunity of saying Whether or not they are in favor of providing adequate educational fa cilities for this and coming generations. Ah election has been ordered on the question of voting 125,000 in bonds for tbe purpose of buying new grounds and erecting a modern school building thereon. On their verdict hangs to a great extent the future of Barnwell school district. r There is no gainsaying that the fact we are several years behind other towns of importance in the county in the mat ter of a school' building, but this is not the most important consideration. We may spend thousands of dollars in erecting the best school house in the State and if we do not secure compe tent teachers, that money is practically wasted. On the other hand, we may secure the best teachers in the land, paying fabulous salaries, and if we fail to provide them with a building adapted to their needq, we are the losers. These two factors—good teach ers and modern buildings—go- hand in hand. Don’t let tee almighty dollar obscure your vision, Mr. Voter, when you cast your ballot next Saturday. Your taxes will be necessarily raised a trifle, but the returns you will receive on money thus invested in a better, more enlight ened citizenship will be incalculable. When you vote for the bond issue you are not merely voting for a new school building, but for the future welfare of your children and your children’s children. TTi* Campaign Meeting*. Many newspapers in South Carolina are advocating the abolition of the county-to-county campaign meetings on the grounds that they are undemocratic and that the expense of making the campaign prohibits many good men from entering the race. Abolish the greatest institution of our times—that unparalelled free ex hibition so dear to the hearts of our voters? Perish the thought! Abolish the “hustings,” whereon would-be office holders meet each other face to face, and, forgetting all true sense of decency, throw off the thin veneer of civilization with which they have cloaked themselves, reveal their utter baseness and call men, whose shoes they are not fit to tie, liars and thieves? Forget it! Rob the people of their bi ennial circus parade, depriving them of the thrill of anticipation of the pos sibility of two opposing candidates “getting together” and mauling eaolfcf other to their hearts’'' content and to the delectation of the crowd? Un- , - * _ thinkable, we say! True, if the county-to-coiinty meet ings were abolished and each candidate made his race on his previous record and his qualifications to perform the duties of the office to which he aspires, the voters might be enabled to make better selections,unbiased by the stump speaking, much—raking politiciins with which the Lord in His wisdom has seen fit to inflict the “down-trod den masses,” but does this out-measure all of the “advantages” of the cam paign meetings? Think well, 0 brothers of the Fourth Estate, before you advocate too rashly anything that will take away the pleas ures of the common people—the back bone of this gul-lorious, g-r-rand old State of South Carolina!
