% V JULY 29, 1914. ^ THErPRESS AND STANDARD, WALTERSCRO, S. C. MORE MONEY FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Twice the Present Amount is Needed for Our Educational .System. The Houston Chronicle Is right in uylng that "the greatest issue be*' fore the State of .Texas ty the abso lute necessity of Improving its edu- $3 00 catiorfal system." It is the greatest issue before the people of any Sou thern state. "Instead of spending $12,000. 000/’ the Chronicle goes on'to* say, "this State should be spending $30 - 000,000 for its public schools each year—that is if its system is to be brought to a level with those of the more progressive states and the best is none too good for Texas. In the second place, there should be laws establishing compulsory educa tion. This must be the backbone Of any successful system of public ed ucation." The farmers of the South can never reach the level of prosperity, influence and Intellectual develop- mentfOf farmers in other sections until we double our expenditures for public schools. There is no use tak ing it by driblets—in the average Southern community we must actu ally double the amount spent for public schols; and even after doub- Vng we shall be only, Just abreast of the average American states. We have ' already printed it once this year, but the showing ts so striking and its value as a follow-up to our "Educational Special” is so marked that cannot 'refrain from repub lishing the following table showing just how much each Southern state spends annually per'chlld for school purposes—and the comparison with the amounts spent annually per child in other states of the Union, ranging from- $3f2 in Washington State to only $3 in Soiitji Carolina. The table follows^ Average annual school expendi ture for each child by states. 1910: Washington $32. California $27, few York $25. Massachusetts $25. 9A • r ANNOUNCEMENTS Primary Election.

Credit Mill tore- shadows, and our farmers have but to keep up their tight in onier to achieve this lonsummation so de voutly to be wished.' Farmers in and out of the Union will be interested in tne report oi the-Congressional situation as glv-n this week by Chairman Hobbs of the National Farmers’ Union Committee and the outline of the flollls-Bulk- tey bill by Prof. T C. Atkeson This bill (which is »o tome, up in December ax the recomnf^nded form of rural credits legislation t provides in short, that/on first mortgage bonds a man can oorrow from these land banks on five to,, thirty years’ time, making payments on the amor tization plan—small installments each year until the entire amount is settled; This plan, 01 course would insupe cheaper money (5 per cent Prof. Atkeson thinks» to land own ers and also to tenants who have as /much as half the purchase price of the land they wish to buy: the gov ernment In no case is to lend over half the value of the land. Thjs bill, as IJrof. XTkeson. points out, deals only with long term or land security credit. Tne other great problem of-providing farmers with cheaper money for Khort term or -personal credit Is nor vouched by it. Upb n this poll.; Prof. Atkeson 5*ays: "If (the bill* contains three- iieri.s of government aid, which is a Ion? rtep forward to mo*t <Ue uemand- \vhi« h organized farmers have mad-*. It does not contain any item of per sonal credit. and by all the practices of the world this feature does not belong in a, farm mortgage bUl. and the' two are nowhere practkhiUy working ; together. Mortgj*#es pre sent a specifflc andt stable securitv upon which can he built a plan for relief, but a pergonal credit p\an must be created upon an entirely different class of securtry. and it '» believed by some of our best think- •ra* who are moat anxious to do whatever they can for the good o. all, that personal credit should b» the subject of‘ separate legislation. This bill as it stands will have Its effect to help personal treclt. It will bring money to’ commuhites where money is not plentiful, will break : down the little money monopoly Pf many a locality and thereby reduce rates on personal, cradtt loans."—The Progressive Far-, mer. 1 hereby announce my candidacy for the office of state Seantor from Colleton county, pledging myself to abide the results of the Democratic prihiary and to ^support the nomi nees thereof. , J.
