The statistics a.s to the enrollment
by races in the town and country
schools is as follows:
Towns: Whites, 10,838; colored,
33 899.
Country: White, 100,553; colored,
127,373.
Average attendance cf whites in
town, 27,609; in couhtry, 65 026.
Average attendance of colored children
in town, 21,684; .n the country,
86.116.
The vast disparity between enrollment
and average attendance suggests
that It, might wbe advisable to have
school f mds apportioned upon an enrollment
based on average attendance
rather than upon the number of
names on the scho >1 teachers' books
This would prevent any padding of
the rolls.

A GROWING EVIL.
Tito Habit of Advancing Money to
Colored Carm lltndR
"The now common practice of ad
vanning money to negro wage hands
in the etlort to secure their service as
laborers on the farm is an evil, and as
great an evil in its scope aa was the
right of universal and unqualified
suffrage such as so nearly ruined the
south for many years following the
civil war, "says the Clinton (Jlzette.
The Gpz^tte go<s on to say that It. is
i an evil the practice of which has al
ready demoralized negro labor, and
its effect ia being felt to a degree that
threatens the downfall of agriculture
i and the consequent prostitution of
< ur southern institutions. Tills evil
wo believe?have been told?lad its
1 origin In our own county, Laurens,
some twenty-live or more ytars ago
i and has since then grown stead! y
I and lias spread all over the state, am
I Is still spoeading. It has brought
' about a couditlan that a white farmer,
no matter how inviting and how
fruitful ids soil and no matter how
badly he may nred help t.o seed,
cultivate and hat vest his crops, need
, not. for a moment foster the hope of
hiring a negro, no matter how hungry
how ragged and dependent the negro
may bo, without lirst putting up a
cash bonus?advancing a stated and
demanded aunouut in orior to secure
at least the promise that the appll
cant will on a certain day begin work
upon thejiinanc'erlnglandlord's premi
its. And seven times out of the, o>
at not. a badly dissimilar ratio, tin
negro after securing the cash deman
dcd, moves on and "sells" himself to
another and another f inner, thus
dupirg a gocd Ion# string of unwarj
and unsuspecting land owners, only
to skip for parts unknown, or else
land in limbo, to be bought by th(
farmer possessing the "long&st pole."
Thus the country Is overidden bv an
?5'?q8 chain of negro dead beatr
while he farmer, disgusted at tin
,ai>iiul outcome of his own folly,
tries to Hnd an ayslum in town cr Is '
compelled to sacr?ll.;e his meagre be
longings to seek a plfci of refuge in
the wilds of the west.

Matter.
I The lynohlog in Burn well county
last Friday has resulted in the re
moval of Magistrate Ulmer, who
looked after the Inquest over the two
negroes and, it is alleged, neglected
his duty In not reporting to the slier
111 the acouut of the lyuching.
Thursday afternoon Gcrv. Ileyward
had a conference with SherllT Creech,
of Barnwell, on the double lynching
of the two negroes and the report

The suspension of Ulmer is on the
ground of neglect of dtitv in failing to
properly protect the two negroes.
Ulmer claims that the shertlT had
plenty of time to protect the v ciims,
nut the report of the sheritV does not
hear this out. The letter 10 the mag
1st l ite, whoso suspension ho'ds good
until tlie legislature takes action on
the matter, is as follows:
S. E. Ulmer, E qM Ulraers, S. C.
Sir: 1 have read SherilT Creech's
report, and also your statement in the
State newspaper, touching the lynch
ing of Frank DsLoich and John DpLoach
in barn well county on the 22d

been guilty of neglect of duty as magistrate
in failing to take proper steps
to secure the safety of the said F.auk
DeLoach and John DeLoach, who
had been arrested under your order
and were in the custody of your constable,
you are hereby suspended from
the ofllce of magistrate.

"While It Is true that the Industrial
development of the South is golr g

nevertheless true that, hy virtue ,f

the foundation of the business of that

change from land without a selling

ago, is the most farreaohing development
In Southern advancement of the
last quarter of a century.
It is farreaching in many ways. It
means that within the last year or
two Southern farm properties have in
