Grand Inquest DejfreredstOpeniiiffof
Session, Mondar, June 1Z
Mr
•f tkn
Foremen and Gentle
Grand Jury:
Ton have been already charged na
to your dnty and the court will not
take na eery Much tlfne thi» ■orn-
ing, giring yon only a geeoml
charge as to your duties.
Ton remember, of course, that you
are the grand Inquest of the county;
that you are the representatives of
the people; Hint K M your' sworn
duty to look niter the best Interests
of the county from every angle. sympathy froi
are not cooftaed. as the petit Jury »] trustees. Ant
to the consideration of any paftNUr
lar ease nor any special class of cases
hut your duty tfe general and that
comes within the purview of your
authority. You hare been selected
on account of your high character aa
men, your high standing in your
community and your experience in
businesa and your Judgment of hu
man nature, so that you bring to the
diacharge of your duties the highest
qualifications of a ciUaen. Vou are
all drawn from different parts of the
county so that you ure probably and
moat likely In touch with every
phase of social activity in this coun
ty. Now, 1 have no doubt thst dur
ing your period of service up to now
you have discharged every duty. „ t
want to aay, however, that there are
several fundamental matters affect
ing the public interest that we can't
be reminded of too often. The first
is economical management of onr
county government. It la your doty
to look into the management of
your county, the conduct of your
public officials and the correctness
of their a«ts. It has been said that
Government by the people is the
most expensive business and that
there are more lax methods in dis
charging the public duties and such
lax methods as would not be tolerat
ed in private business. Now that
ought not to be so. There is no rea
son why there should not be as mnch
efficiency in the administration of
public office and the discharge of
public duty as there is in (he man
agement of any piivat« business. So
it becomes your duty as grand Jurors
to aid and assist and require a dis
charge of public duties by your pub
lic officials as economically and ef
ficiently as possible.. The people ex-
pe< t it* of you and every officer who
performs his duty will court your
rigid investigation. So that, in your
Investigation of the public offices of
the county, you will have in view
simply the public good. Of course
you will remember that you have
been sworn to do your duty without
fear or favor, reward or hope of ro-
ward; that you will not present any
one out of hatred or Ul-will, so that
when yon bring to bear upon your
dutiea these great requirements, you
will then satisfy both the officers
and the people.
Now, the next thing 1 want to call
your attention to Is the matter of the
public education. Now, of course,
you have only a general oversight of
that. The superintendent of educa
tion and trustees of the various
school districts have the immediate
supervision and duty of carrying out
the school laws, but as a matter of
public interest and the education of
this county it certainly thnt it is!vnown of many cases where
of rnteUoubig or politics or for any
other local emnss. and that the only
test, or rather the main teat, for the
employment of a .teacher should be
efficiency, character and ability. I
am not surprised, however, that
teachers are changed so rapidly be
cause K is i> many cases the result
of lack of support by the people of
tLe community. Many tbeaehers
haven't had a oquare deal because
they* hare had no support and no
parents and Ihe
And agate I am not Mr-
prised that the character of teachers
in some communities ^ is low, the
standard Is low, because they are not
paid enough. I u^nt to impress up
on you the fact thst you cannot em
ploy the best talent for nothing and
'If w« can get fixed in the mlnd&\pf
our people that It requires the ed*,
ployment of talent of the hlgheet
order to make a good teacher, then
will our people be willing to pay
them a salary commensurate with
their services and with their value.
A person who la competent to con-
trol boys »nd glrla, if In other de
partments pf life would make a
great deal more money than he can
make as a teacher. It takes ability
of the highest order and it ought to
be adequately compensated for.
And right again at the foundation
of our school system, we must get
it down that they ahall be paid and
paid adequately. How many of you
would be willing to work tor a per
iod of eight months of the year and
then be out of employment for the
other four? How many of you
could support a family by working
four or six or eight months? And
yet you expect a teacher to accept a
contract to work the school term
and sometimes that term is very un
certain. 1 am told that in some
places it lasts but four months. Then
how can you expect a person to get
out and prepare himself for this
great calling and then be out of em
ployment for six or eight months of
the year? So then we want to
lengthen our terms; we want to pay
our teachers and then demand of our
teachers the proper service.
Now, there is another thing I want
to call your attention to in this con
nection. There is a law on the Stat
ute books now—and that ia what I
want to call specially to your atten
tion—and that Is the law providing
for each school district td have com
pulsory education, to compel the
chtMrea of that school district to at
tend school. Now, I do not know
what your views on the subject are
but I want to aak you to Investigate
that subject. We have had a great
deal of discussion pro and con on
this subject of compulsory educa
tion. Our Legislature has not seen
fit to pass a general compulsory edu
cation law, but has made it local so
that each school district can get the
advantage of It If It sees fit. Now
we want Colleton county to be far
beyond every other county In this
State, not only IjTall other lines, but
especially In educational equipment
And we want the children of this
county to attepd the schools when
we provide schools for them and pro.
vide teachers for them. I have
out of tea. It doon drop
i. 41 faHa to
your duty f 0 see aa far as possible
that we have an efficient school sys
tem. And there isn't anything that
is more important. The future of
our county and of our people de
pends upon our education of the ria.
' ing generation. It is a trust impos
ed on us from which we cannot es
cape; it is a responsibility that we
cannot place on other shoulders and
there is no duty greater than that
for ua'to provide for the proper edu
cation of the rising generation and
to place them in a better position to
discharge the duties of a citisen than
we have been placed In. It la not
suflcient that they do as well as we
hav e done. It ia not sufficient for
us to say that we have done aa well
as our fathers have done. We must
do better than they becanaex we
hav* better advantages and greater
opportunities. And If w c do not do
any better than they have done we
haven't done as well. We cannot
stand still. So it is our duty to pro.
vide a settled policy for the educa
tion of-the youth to take our place
so that they may be in a position to
render better service to their county
and State than we have been able to
render Now tber^ cannot be any
effective school 'Without a good
teacher. It is impossible for the
blind to lead the blind. Ton had
Just as well have Uo bclooI at aU aa
to put in it a teacher inefficient, care-
lee« and incompetent. So at the very
foundation of our, school system
would be s good teacher. And 1
want to call to the atteation of this
grand Jury and to the people of.the
county through you that there can
be no permanent education without
the employment of competent and
cooaecrated teachers. It strikes at
the very bottom, at the very founda
tion of our school system^ If we
cannot get competent teachers then
our children cannot be trained, and
if they can’t be trained, what would
be the future of Colleton ' county?
Now there is a habit in some com
munities of electing any kind of a
teacher, so long as she meets with
certain local requirements. Now l
do not propose to go into an elabora
tion of this phase of the employment
of teachers, but I wish to say that
no chtld should be handicapptd in
its preparation for an education by
the employment of a teacher because
the
hildren were taken out or allowed
to leave, they are not - being
taught. Now, that la due in
a very large measure to the
indifference of parents. That Indif
ference is due very largely to the
failure of parents to appreciate the
necessity of education. And that is
the sad part of It—that those who
need it moat are usuaily the ones
who oppose every attempt to bring
to them these great Advantages,
say that that Ig the general rule
that the persons who need it most
are the ones who oppose it and op
pose our efforts to help them.
Now, the people, most of them, who
are opposed to compulsory education
are those who most need education.
It would not be thought unwise to
compel people to conform to certain
I’oe* of conduct by the government,
nod yet some people say it is wrong
for the State to equip themselves
for the dutiea of cttisenshlp. f shall
not give you an argutaent in this
matter, but I wish you to investigate
and consider this subject with a view
of spreading the system throughout
this county,
I have seen in the paper the last
few days that some school district
is taking steps to put this into elfect
I wtsh it could be put into operation
in every school dlstri<t of the coun
ty. 1 have taught school myself and
I know what J am saying when 1 tell
you that there are hundreds and
hundreds of children who are allow
ed to go free from school, not be
cause they ar e needed at home, not
b*canae they are needed to help feed
the family, but because .the parents
do not recogflixe the necessity for an
education for their children. I have
known parents to allow thMr chil
dren to stop school for a week-(o go
down in the low country on a fishing
i ip. right in the middle of a term.
And I have known others who are
supposed to have the interests of
their children at heart allow them
f o fn away for a weeg i n the midst
of the term, and of couxae. when the
cMld ponies hack to school, he is out
of harmony with the balance of the

not comprehend the lessons for thl*

sons for the past week It is not fnng

out of r jtoa t 11 is because the-parent
allowed the child, to go off la the
midst of the term, get ont of tonch
with everything, and the* it has lost
oet ia Its race of life. Every child
Ought to have a square deal and-ev-
try one ought to have an equal op
portunity, but t^ey can not In such
cases where the parents do not real
ise the. necessity for an education
and do not se« that they get the edu
cation necessary to enable them to
meet the problem^ of afterlife. I hope
it won't be long before every child in
this county will be required to at
tend the echool during the term. Of
course, that presupposes that you
have a school. That is up to the
older people; and as 1 have stated
before, have It taught by teachers
who are worthy of the name, and
when you pay them the compensa
tion they are entitled to, then you
will find men and women who are
willing to give it all their time am
all their talents.
There is another thing I want to
call yonr attention to in connection
with this subject of education and
that is 1 want you to think along the
S ol a practical education of out
c. I think a great deal of time
money has been spent uselessly
to tekeh branches that are of prac
tlcally no value; and on the other
hand, the great fundamental lines of
developmenVthat we most need have
been neglected. In a recent Act of
the Legislature's provision has been
made for the teaching of agriculture
in the common Behind Now, we are
aq agricultural people. . We all know
that. Our future and the future
greatness of our county depends
upon our development along the
lines of agriculture. We hgve no
mining interests In the county. ,We
have no manufacturing Interests of
any consequence. The timber prac
tically is gone. And the future of
this county depends upon the de
velopment along the line! of agri
culture. Now, there Is about one
boy out of ten who goes to the high
school and about one out of twenty-
five that goes to college. Now. what
are you going to do with the great
masses of people who never go to
high school or to « college? Our
system of teachinf is confined of ne
cessity to theory, things seldom
used. And when the boy comes out
of school, all that he knows is a lit
tie smattering of the rudiments
Then, I think that it is a wise pro
vision and I think it worthy of your
consideration that there shall be
requirement that every teacher
should teach the subject of agricul
ture and its allied subjects. Aa
said before, most of our people are
(armern and when the child comes
out of school, he knows nothing oi^
fanning from a scientific standpoint;
and all that he learns he muni ge
by actual practice. What we need
now and what we must have is
scientific study of this great subject
that means so much to our future
development. The time is past when
people aay they don’t believe in book
learning. That day is gone. We
are on the eve of a new era and we
cannot say we don’t believe in scien
tiflc farming. That age is past and
your boy aqd mine must know some
thing^about the laws of nature that
control the life and development of
planis. He must know something of
the component parts of the soil and
the laws of nature that affect it in
its influence on the development of
the plant. -He ought to know some
thing about the marketing of crops
All of this, as I said before should he
discussed. It has been introduced over
here in Darlington county, I am ad
vised. under such circtmstances. with
a plot of ground for each class,
where they can get not only the the
ory but the practice and watch the
growth and development under the
care of both the teacher and the
pupil. Then these poor boys who
never see a college when they come
out have something practical that
they can carry home and help^them
the balance of their lives. I think
that is a very hopeful sign of the
future—that we must get training
that la practical and that will help
our children. 1 wish to call to your
attention and that of the people of
this < ounty that Act of the Legisla
ture
Now, of course, you know your
duties with respect to roads and
bridges of the county. No extended
charge is necessary But I don’t
think w P can be reminded too often
about the necessity for good roads.
The day of bad roads and of living
In the back-woods is past. The
world is moving these days at a rap
id rate and we have got to work hard
to keep up. There is not anything
more necessary in the development
of the county than the development
of its roads. The value of your
land is regulated by the character of
roads to It and from it. If you can’t
get your produce to market, then
you can’t rais e it profitably. If you
can’t gwt it to market economically,
then you fall behind in your race for
success So that, transportation !«
one qf the fundamental requisites for
th* success of any people. And ^^e
of the firs; things that the Romr.s^
government did when they con
ed a province was to build coo.i roads
through i> and some of those roads
are there today after two thousand
years And it is one of the eviden- j
with it any mora. I think tkat in
one of thn great leaks In onr system
of bnlldln* roods and an expense ts
the county—that whao a road la
built. It la left te Itself. That ought
not to be. We ought to have a regu
lar system and there is no doubt
that tt would be bo if w * had the
means to keep It up. Now, in or
der to build roads and keep np
roads, you have "got to have money.
That’s a matter that I ahall not dis
cuss, but I mention It to you
to you can .think about It and
so that means may be provided
by those in authority for the build
ing and maintenance of good roads
throughout our county. It ia said
that land te the heart of Africa la
worth one cent an acre. It is aaid
that land In New York City la worth
one hundred thousand dollars a
front foot. There are two instances.
One ia Inaccessible to the tforld and
therefore valueless. Thp other ia in
the heart of the metropolis, easy of
access from every part of the ™ rld -
The conclusion Is inevitable. If e
would make our property valuable
and make our people prosperous, we
must have the means of easy
economical transportation.
Now, one other word and that is
about your duty of looking after the
enforcement of the laws. 0 U, \R OV *
ernment is supposed to be a Chris
tian government and every Individ
and
severity of the punishment as there
li in the certainty of the punishment.
If the peeple of Colleton county
knew that so sure as they commit a
crime, they are going to be tiled be

crimes committed in the county. It s
th« certainty of the punishment. If
they knew that Just aa sure as they
violated the law. they ma Bt » u * er y
then.they would hesitate before they
took human life and pause before
they violated the laws. t ,
I believe that the fundamen^
cause of crime in this oopnty mad te
this State la the lack of enforcemen

the indifference of our people to the

Now, it to very easy for you to com

cause I think there are very few peo
ple who would present another for
hatred or ill-will, but the trouble te

your relatives and your friends and

jury of the county Is sworn to pre

It is nothing but human for white
the laws. You are the guardians of ^ coIored people, when they

tion of a people may be measured by
the habits of the people In the
observance of tow and then
regard for the rights of others.
This court has no business
here today except to punish the
wrong-doer and to set free those
who are brought to trial without
foundation. Its the public purpose
is for the enforcement of law and
the administration of Justice. Now.
this fundamental principle, I think,
will be admitted—that people like
to live in those communities where

petrator escape without even a trial,
that they shall go and commit the

there cornea the real test of char

duty, that you shall leave no one
unpresented on account of friend
ship or affection. It is not easy to
bring in a verdict against your
friend, but the real test of a citizen
la to stand np for duty in the face
of friendship and to hew to the line.
It la a matter of patriotism. And 1
tell you that I believe that is the
fundamental cause of lawlessness
and the spirit j/of lawlessness. The
law-breakers are pot brought to jus
tice, and when they ane brought to

first thing for a grand Jury to do i»| C e rg m charge of these wards of the
bring before the court (epyrse look after our county chain-
rsons who have vlo 1 ®^ . a w s and our jail. While it is your
to look at the whole situation and
not only bring to the court the pre
sentment that is handed to you te
any case where the testimony war
rants it, but you have the authority
on your own motion to present any
body for the violation of the law,
whether It is brought to you by the
Solicitor or not. If It comes within
your knowledge that the law has
been violated and a person should
be brought to trial, you don’t
have to wait for the Solicitor, but
you may present it to the court and
then the Solicitor will prepare the
Indictment. Yours powers are
plenary. You may bring the pr*
sentment upon the information of
any other p<|-son, without having
to go before a magistrate or being
directed to do so by the Solicitor.
Your powers are made so full In
order to meet that provision of our
tows that the law-breaker shall be
brought to justice, and in your
rounds throughout the county, if
you find a violation ef the law and
that the public security is being un
dermined. it is your duty to bring
itabefore your bo<ty and then pre-
setft ij to this court. So that, one
of the highest duties of the grand
jury is to bring to trial those per
sons who ought to be brought to
trial. There can be no happiness in
our county, in our State, unless th*
county are treated with proper con-
sidejatien. Now. of course, that
doe* not, mean that they are to be
allowed to Idle away their time, nor
does it mean that they are to be fed
on delightful and delicious delica
cies, but it does mean, gentlemen of
the jury, that these wards should
not be taken advantage of and that
they should not be brutally treated
and that they should not be required
to work under conditions of hardship
that would impair their health.. It
is a notorious fact that the criminal
doe* not live, I believe, according to
statistics, over eight years. You can
draw your own conclusion. The con
clusion that I draw is that the con
ditions of work are such that his
constitution is undermined and it is
not long before tuberculosis sets in
or some other disease that soon Car
ries him off. We want to see that
the convicts of this county,are treat
ed humanely, but at the same time,
we must not interfere with the offi
cers in charge so as to affect the dis
cipline, because there must be dis
cipline. but 4hat discipline must be
administered in a humane way.
Then our jail should be sanitary
as well as our convict camps. The
State wllj not let a private citizen
maintain a place as a breeder of dis
ease. but will condemn it as a nui
sance and this court will vacate it.

all our roads are being developed

other thing is that sort*'of our peo

is built, there Js no use to bother

I find here in the Jail report that
there are four persons charged with
murder and I find on the calendar
here that there are two cases of mur
der. That means that there are six
people who have been Tent to eter
nity. or at least, that six pepole are
charged with having sent people to

on the calendar for some time; the
other one is new. That six people
should be before our court at this
term chfrged with the awful orim*

cient to make us pause. There must
be somethirg wrong In our system
of government or else in our admin

is presented for killing one apiece,
should be presented to this court
for the wrongful killing of a fello*

all right. It is not your business to
assume that they ar* all right, but it
ia tour business to find out if they
