TIttilAN'8 PLAN.
We ndtb. that sc^chilyNf tlio

readers to go slowly iii the mat

Tillman has a plan to change the
law hy which graft in its man

and that gW*,J.*Vo rtlsd f'uVise
you to go slow about Vdtiilg out

but not for that reason. Our ob
jection to this course is, little, if

be gotten by local action of this

Now, as to Mr. Tillman's Plan.

TION.
We liatfl been handed a book
let 011 "Better Schdbls in South
Carolina," issued by t): B. Mar
tin. Bitltfe Superintendent of
Education And are idforthed that
every editor in the State has
been similarly favored.
Accompanying the booklet was
a request that the editor assist
?n the Campa'gii for cdlibation by
Contributing ilt least dne edito
rial oil the subject during the
month of August.
We must confess ttj less re
luctance in complying with this
request tiiau if we had eujoyed
tlie advantages of a complete
educution, for we can better ap
preciate the ildvantage the edu
cated man, Unless" it fbol, has
over 6lie who Is only tialf-educa
tetl, or one tvHli just learning
enough to sometimes nitelte him
a fool.
j Having hit'd practically but
* about fourteen months schooling
during the 75s, and flipping
from the school-room to rt place
in the busy arena of mercantile
life, we wo am hardly paj?S mus
ter as an bvlucated man, which
fact induced us to give our
reaers a fe\V thoughts on educa
tion from fchta standpoint of an
uneducated educated member of
the community.
These thoughts are suggested
by the reading of a quotation
from llorace Mdfttt, on the iu
referred to: 14Art ignorant peo
ple not only is, ttut must b? a
l>oor pedple."
Phat this is a fact is sustained
by the history of all natiotts.
Take tlie condition xif our own
pebble for- a period covering
only thirty years, Tlittty yeuVs
ago, illiteracy among the great
body of the people was the rule
and an educated person the ex
ception. tTomj^t-e the conditions
{then with those that prevai
now and whatUo we flr.d? Ju
stead of ignorance and poverty
we tind education the rule among
all classes coupled naturally with
a higher standard of morality
to which must be added the ac
|jcumulation of much iri tl\e way
4 of matetfnl comforts in the home,
fOr with knowledge grew desire,
and to dvifiiro was to h^ve.
How have these splendid re
sults been brought about?
Largely through our splendid
system of public schools which
*n-justice to thofco concered, we
may *ny could neVer have reach
ed theiV present stage of per
fection, Nit for the devoted ef
forts of Superintendent O. B.
Martin, lift predecessors inonice,
Attd backeW by tilts hearty and
intelligent cooperation of the
vast army ?f teachers through
out the State.
Great however, as haft been
tlio work accomplished, it ifc not
nearly doir^. Each and every
citizen should inemor'fto the
quotation, "An ignoraut people
n'cY only is', but must bC a poor
people," keeping it constantly
before the mind's -eye, atal bend
ing overy ^effort towftWls the
furtfter ra^Hug of the standard
of odfrcation in this artd future
generations.
l Hand in hand on the Grtft side,

The Camden team crossed bats
0% the grounds of
the |att0r on .Thursday and Fri:
flrty St l|lst we4k: It 1s growing
into a comihoii saying that, if
you wunt good cleaii sport of
any kitld; from a reel race to a
base bflll game, you nfcett iibt go
to 8 u mtCr for it. However that
may be, Cauidcti after liaving
Sbundl^ and honestly drubl>ed
Bumter to the tun$ of 14 to D on
Monday and prabtjcally won the
?fceond g&ine on Tuesday, fras
f>tiut out by Sumter on their own
grounds Un Thursday by a score
of 7 to 0. This result, our boys
Claim, was due tftttirely to the
incapacity of the umpire. They
db not claim t/hat he iuteutioual
ly cheated them out of the game,
but that lie, being inexperienced,
depended largely ufjon the judg
ment of the Sumter pitcher in
ttiaking decisions. On Friday,
oilr fello\Vs lined up to the plate
with

The first demand frbm Camden

of the players refusing to play

At*? still reaching us, bttt as allls
wfell that ends well* we think
about enough has bbtm said.
Wo will say this hdtVfcver. If
Camden is positive tlltlt she was
cheated by Sumter, tlie proper
thing for the team to do, as com
posed of self respecting gentle
rtiou, is to heroafter let Sumter
severely alone. In ttiis advice
we include Our tire department
Atid such other clubs or associ
ations as mdy now, or heieafter
exist in our tnidst. j
Now, to digress a little. We,
Are constantly hammered for not
reporting the games played here
itt detail, and want to say that
we have placed the columns of
The People open to the publica
tion of readable reports, written!
by those who know how. If
itshed, our skirts are clean.
The blame lies elsewhere.
Later.?It seems that our
team did tiot consider that they
had been (cheated^ ns they pulled ;
\>ff two games with Sumter on
Monday aiul Tuesday of this
week. Result of tirst game, 2 to
0 in favt)i* of Camden. After
result: Sumter sw'ears th?i um

game. (Lfbyntou was umpire).
2nd result* & littI<5 athlete ex
ercise in the holW piazza which
proved that Sumter was not
cheated. Result of 2nd game,

These various results hav<5 re
sulted we hope, in convincing
Sumter of the justice of the
general result.
