Manning. S. C., June, 8. 1910.
My Dear Sir:
Ihe tw<. daily papers in Charles
ton. The News and Courier and The
Evening Post, are n >t disp >sed to
give me a square deal in my race for
Congress. Their plan is to “boost”
more
high schools than she has ever dona
in the past.
The high school is the college of
the masses, and until our college
doors afe thrown open to every boy
and girl; until they become as acces
sible as our high schools now are-
til then, our high schools will re
main the more important factor in
our educational system.
A great Englishman once remark
ed. that the British nation, that is,
its people, were like a keg of beer—
froth on the top, dregs at the bot
tom but whose middle was sane
and solid. "
This simile, while not accurately
correct w ith reference to our educa
tional system today, is approximate
ly so. We have our colleges and
universities, with their frills and

Mr. legare under every concgiyahlej furbelows and high spun theories,
attended by but one out of every
5o0«*f our population, constituting
the froth on the beer drawn from
the Pierian Springs. Then at the
bottom we have the dregs, our poor
ly equipped, poorly financed, back-
woods public schools tadght by ig
norant teachers, instilling false
notions and stunting the normal in
tellectual development of ’their
scholars. But in the middle, actuig
as a ballast, fortunately we have the
great conservator of our intellectual
progress—the high schools—attend
ed by the vast majority of our boys
and girls—the future citizens of our
State.
1 hope I will not be understood as
discountenancing and underestima
ting our institutions of higher
learning and their work. They are
a very necessary cog in the vast
ma rhinery of our civilization, and I
do not think I will even admit my
self out of court when I say that 1
believe our high schools are depend
ent upon our colleges for their effi
ciency. The converse is equally
true, however, that without our
high schools to furnish the founda
tion for the college to build upon,
without our high schools to instill
into our children an ambition to ac
quire a liberal education, our col
leges would cease to exist. The two
are inter-dependent.
A nation’s chief concern should be
V
the welfare of its great body of
citizens—the masses—as froth on
the beer, a nation can neglect the
classes who glitter in the limelight.
Goldsmith has well said
“Princes and lords may flourish or
may fade,
A breath can make them, as a breath
has made.
But a bold peasantry, the people’s
p pride.
When once destroyed can never be
supplied.”
4*.
Since it is true that our power as
a nation depends upon the righte
ous, sturdy dtienship of the masses,
the query in this debate resolves
itself into, not is the college a fail*
ure? not is the high school a failure?
but since both are necessary factors
in our complex civilization, which of
the tw) touches mofe vitally the
welfare of the masMi of our people.
When we have solved this we have
folved our query.
Our people have been recently
in the face of hordes of
blacks, aeon to bveome
armed with the AoMKkan ballot, to
the neeaadty of a speedy education
at the AnglO’Sexoe youth, and are

pretext, and tu pursue the policy of
silence as to myself, not allowing my
name to appear in their papers
whenever they can jiosidbly avoid it.
I am writing merely to call your
attention to an article of mine w'hieh
will appear as an advertisement in
the Evening Post either on the 8th
or 9th instant, and hope that you
will look up the article and read it.
The Post came out in an editorial on
June 1 advocating Mr. Legare for
re-election, and so heavily discount
ed my usefulness in case of election
to|Congress, and so heavily reflect 4 *!
upon me in an indirect way that I
found it necessary to reply to the
editorial in a dignified and courteous
manner.* The editor refused to pub
lish the article, saying it could only
/^appear as an advertisement, and
they then w^nt to work and fixed
the advertising rates at very ax-
horbitant figures, hoping, evidently,
to shut me out. However, 1 wired
them today to publish the ar
ticle any way as an advertisement
and I am merely calling your atten
tion to it so that you may see some
ot the methods that are being pur
sued against me in Charleston, and
that in case you should wish to make
anv mention of these proceedings
ytu will,have the facts before you.
1 do not like the way that it seems
I am to be treated in Charleston,
and I am afraid that wheq the time
comes I will be forced, against my
S leasure. to expose some of the
harleston methods in politics on the
stump.,
Yours very truly,
J. H. Lesesne.
To add to the general stir up just
now, Zach McGee, the Washington
correspondent to The State, publish
ed an article in ita issue of the 9th
. *
instant, dealing with the congres
sional race in the First District, in
which the Washington cor respend-
ent of The State does not seem to
take the matter of Mr. Leaesne’a
candidacy in much seriousness. He
also states “Representative Geo. S.
Legare bolds the job, and he is one
of the most popular of all the con
gressmen from South Carolina, but
Mr. Legare has not been in Washing
ton except for a few days at a time
for two years.”
His theory is that perhaps Mr.
Legare is not the choice-of-the lead
ing men of Charleston, b*t that
some of them have political aspira
tions also, and for this reason they
will support Legare this time, in the
hope that some of them may be able
to succeed him two-yean hence.
On the whole tfce nee is liable to
create cooriderable interest in the
FfrstJMatrict and the developments
will be* watched both in and out of
nisrWietofi
successful. I think it is needless,
therefore, for any of us to enumer
ate the successful college bred men.
or the successful self-made men, or
j to recall to your minds that our
fathers and grandfathers of the
|odark days of 'til to ’Go were not col
lege bred men as a valid argument
for the high schools.
We need our college bred men and
women, and we need our colleges to
give us trained teachers and trained
professional men; and at the same
time we need our high schools to
stock our colleges with good timber
well seasoned; but, above and be
yond all, we need our high schools
to train the great body of our peo
ple in the arts of good and indus
trious citizenship.
For after all is said and done, it is
neither our lawyers, nor our doctors,
nor onr ministers, nor even our
statesmen, nor our soldiers, nor our
engineers, nor any other of our col
lege bred, technically trained men.
who have made our nation strong
and great; but it is our sturdy citi
zenship. the citizenship of the
masses, that has made us predomi
nant among the nations of the
world.
THE NEWS OF EHRHARDT
Ehrhardt, June8. —The Farmers’
Mercantile ^Company here, under
the watchful care and vigilance of
John M. Kirkland, manager, and
Haigler A. Hughes, president, has
grown sufficiently to warrant the
addition of a banking department
which will be ready for business on
September 15. The firm name of
the concern will, after that date, be
the Farmers’ Mercantile and Bank
ing Company. The company has
recently repainted ita spacious store,
which adds materially to the appear
ance of the building.
John M. Kirkland, manager of the
Farmers’ Mercantile Company, has
at last been able to move his family
from Ol&r to this town, a dwelling
house for his occupancy just being
completed.
Col. Ivy Zeigler has just completed
a contract of street paving for the
town, to the delight of everybody.
Col. Zeigler haa the contract for
building the waiting room at the
Atlantic Coast Line passenger depot,
besides adding needed extensions,
such as platform, building, etc.
Recent rains have infused new
life into the growing crops, which,
though backward at this time, will,
it is believed, show handsome re
turns in the end.
F. E. Copeland has a field of corn
that has been admired by all who
have seen it. It will average four
feet in height, with large healthy
stalks. The field ia in fine condition,
promising a good yield and must be
a consolation to Mr. Copeland, who
carefully nursed the crop thorough
all the dry weather this community
has had tor several months past.
