Mr. Kditor.- Having boon askod
by tho teachers of our Summer
school to make a report through your
paper in regards to our Summer
school work, 1 kindly ask that you
allow me space in your widely read
journal to speak of the same.
Promptly at 51 o'clock on Monday
morning, the 8tli of June, tho Summer
school for the colored teachers
of Horry county was begun with
Prof. O. L. Lovrtllic, 11. ft , principal
of tho NVhi tta more (leaded school
of Conway, as our instructor. The
work was bogun with very Mattering
indications, and there was an
unusual interest manifested on the
part of the trade rs which lasted
until the end.
Arithmetic, algebra, and grammer
were tho studies taken up. The
vision of Sir Lawnfal and lOnoch
Arden were also read and discussed
with great interest. At the calling
of the roll each morning the teachers
responded with quotations. Current
literature was also one of the
prime features of our institute, and
Prof. Ijcvallio spared no pains in
laying great stress upon the same,
and many of the teachers have de^
cided to read more than they have
heretofore been doing.
All tho teachers expressed themselves
as having been much benefited
by attending the Summer
school. During our sessions, wo
were favored with a vnrv fin<? m <1
oloquont address by our County
Superintendent of Education, Mr.
Prince, winch was much enjoyed by
those who heard him. Mr. Prince
is well fitted for his position, and
for a talk to teachers he feels at
home. In short, our institute was
a success and Prof. Lovallie's talks
- from time to time were always very
timely.
The session closed on the UOth of
June with the following program
executed on that night.

HEED Of COUNTRY,
Triumph of Democratic Principles
Is Imperative.
THE MAN AND THE HOUR.
With tho Nomination of John A. Johnson,
Progressive Democrat of Integrity,
Ability and Achievement, Success
Is Assured.
Wearied of twelvo yours of overwhelming
do font In national elections,
during which time tho party has lost
national political control of every
northern state and has witnessed devastating
inroads even on tho southern
stales, hundreds of thousands of Democratic
voters have In tho last few
months asked, "Who Is tho man who
can load tho party to victory?"
Tho host of armies, military or political,
require some measure of success
to maintain their spirit and etllcleney.
Continuous and overwhelming defeat
oven In tho worthiest of causes disheartens
tho strongest men.
Conditions are such In this year lttOS
that a united Democracy supporting a
strong presidential nominee can win
the presidential otlleo and open tlie
way for a return of tho Democratic
party to power. Not only do tho best
Interests of tho Democratic party call
for a victory this year, but so also do
the host Interests of tho nation. Twelvo
years of almost unopposed government
of tho republic by one party and for
eight of those years practically by one
man have brought about conditions
that are repugnant to tho elllclent and
satlsfnctorj' administration of a government
supposedly of tho people.
Principle With Victory.
Victory cnn bo achlcvod this year
without sacrificing ono iota of the
stand for principle that has boon inndo
with so much sacrifice by tho Domocratlc
party ?>f tho United States for
tho last dozen years. It Is merely a J
question of changing leadership. Three
times In succession our party lias gono
to defeat because lis leadership has
not been able to Inspire confidence In
the masses of the voters, patriotic,
progressive and sincere as that leadership
has unquestionably been. Tho
party Is greater than Us individual
membership and greater than Its leaders.
Tho time has conic when It should
name Its leader in a presidential campaign
and no longer permit itself to bo
defeated by a sentimental, though ho*
role, devotion to a great name that has
dominated it for a dozen years.
If in the ranks of the party there is
a man whose principles, whoso party
fealty, whose success In political battles,
whose actual achievements in
legislation and statesmanship?and a
man holding a commanding political
situation?are such that victory under
his leadership Is indicated, is it not
the duty of reasonable, thoughtful, devoted
Democrats desiring the success
of their party to turn to him?
Johnson the Man.
Tlio frlends of Governor John A.
Johnson of Minnesota, who have
watched his remarkable career in recent
years, as well as impartial observers
and journalists throughout the
country, believe that ho is the man of
the hour, the man in every way equipped
to make a successful campaign
and afterward to bo a chief executive
of tlio highest order. Let us brlelly review
Ids career.
John A. Johnson was born In St.
Peter, Nicollet county, Minn., July 2ft,
1801, of Swedish parents. Ills childhood
and youth were passed in great
poverty. At thirteen years of ago he
was compelled to leave the public
schools of his native city in order to
support himself and the parental family.
Though his formal education was
thus early cut short, Ids self education
never stopped. A student at all times, '
a wide reader and a thoughtful one,
Mr. Johnson, after some years of obscure
toil as a drug and grocery clerk
and railway timekeeper, became at the
ago of twenty-four editor of the St. Peter
Herald. He soon became known 1
as one of the ablest of Minnesota Journalists
and was recognized as one of
the leaders of journalism In a stato romarkablo
for the number, vigor and in(luence
of Its periodical press. As a
country editor ho was gradually drawn
into polities and in 180ft was elected
a member of the senate of the Minnesota
legislature, and his first public political
work was as a member of that
body. From the first he was identified
with various reform measures which
Iinvo since bccomo law In Minnesota.
Wherever Governor Johnson has
gone he has Impressed men as belli# a J
man of the Lincoln type, lie has the
faculty of making many friends and
few enemies.
Governor Johnson's Legislative Results ;
The governor recommended a per- i
mancnt tax commission. The leglsla- i
tare gave It to hlin, and tho Ink was
hardly dry on the document beforo ho I
appointed a commission so strong in ]
Its personnel that tho Republican sen- <
ate resolved by a rising vote to confirm
the appointments without delay, !
while tho oonnllv Poniihin-nn Imiisjo
though without tho power of conflrraa- t
tlon, expressed by a rising vote Its ap- I
proeintlon of tho oxcellenco of tho gov- <
ornor's appointments. i
In northern Minnesota arc tho great- 1
est Iron ore fields la tho world. Tho i
state of Minnesota owns extensive t
areas of those lands. By leases they 1
wore largely In the hands of tho TJnlt- (
ed States Stool corporation, and the <
stato was receiving only an Inslgnlfl- (
cant Income froin Its royalties. Tho t
governor advised tho withdrawal of \
all such lands from mineral leases, and \
tho legislature concurred. i
Minnesota has enjoyed but scant In- r
come from tho wealth of tho privately
owned lion mines. The governor recommended
n royalty tax on the output
of these mines. Ho did not got it. but
the United States Steel corporation
hound Itself as a substitute to establish
a $20,000,000 steel plant at Duluth.
The newly orented tax commission,
together with the state board of equalization.
which preceded it (the members
of which were appointed by Governor
Johnson), havo In the four years
of Governor Johnson's administration
increased the assessed valuation of the
steel corporation's iron ore holdings in
Minnesota from $32,000,000 to $100,000.000.
The sleeping car companies of Minnesota
had never pnld taxes In Minnesota
in proportion to their earnings.
Tho governor recommended a change
in tho system of taxing these companies,
and a satisfactory law was enacted.
Similarly a rational law as to
mortgage taxation was enacted.
Railway Regulation.
Taking up freight rates, Governor
Johnson in a powerful speech so exhaustively
and conclusively bared existing
unequal and exorbitant rates
that tho railway companies voluntarily
made a rod tic t Ion of 10 per cent on
grain rates on their lines In northern
Minnesota. Ily order of tho railway
commission, ro-enforced by subsequent
legislation, this voluntary reduction
was followed by a horizontal reduction
In maximum freight rates of about
13 per cent, and I hero was created a
now class of merchandise tariff in
which the rates were reduced about 20
per cent. Tho railways took these reductions
Into the United States courts
by enjoining the attorney general of
Minnesota from enforcing the law.
This action has opened up some of the
most Important litigation Involving
constitutional interpretation that has
come before the supremo court In this
generation.
The Two Cent Law.
The enactment of the two cent pasBonger
tariff law was an example of
Governor Johnson's eelcrlty of action.
Invited to address the Minnesota Edltorlal
association, instead of making
^jo usual platitudinous address on suck
m'caslons, "ho exploded the two cent
bomb" and urged that an end be put to
the giving of passes. Ho talked on i
the same subject to a convention of :
commercial travelers. Immediately the
state was alhuno with this innovation
In railway legislation. When thu legislature
met ho nsked for a law embody*
lug this Idea, and the legislature qulekly
responded. Neighlmrlng states followed
with reductions, and now
throughout the middle northwest the
two cent rate prevails.
About tho time Governor Johnson
enmo Into olQco there was a widespread
agitation for reciprocal demurrage
laws which would compel railways
to allow shippers demurrage
charges for failure to deliver ears on
time. Governor Johnson, ever abreast
of popular progress, recommended such
a law and got It.
Thanks to Ids initiative, the orders
of the Minnesota railroad and warehouse
commission are now Immediately
effective pending appeal.
In Defense of Labor.
Governor Johnson, In consonance
with his thorough democracy and believing
In equal rights, has not been
neglectful of the Interests of labor, lie
desired a free stale employment bureau
designed to eliminate the many
abuses that have marked private employment
bureaus in the great labor
centers of Minnesota. Such a bureau
was created and has Ijooii thoroughly
helpful and widely clllelent.
Since time immemorial that relic of
feudalism, tho common law doctrine of
nonliability of employer to employee
for Injuries occurring through the negligence
of a fellow servant, has prevailed
In Minnesota as well as In many
other states. "This ancient rule of tho
common law," said Governor Johnson,
"coupled with the other rule generally
referred to as the doctrine of the assumption
of risk by employees, lias
cast upon the Individual laborer a risk 1
and responsibility out of proportion to
tho wages ho receives." ,
During his term of oOloc Governor
Johnson has had to deal with one '
great conflict between lalior and capital?namely,
tho strike of tho minors
011 tho Minnesota Iron ranges. Hy direct
personal Intervention, hy advice i
to tho employers on the one hand and
tho strikers on tho other, tho governor ]
succeeded, without the uso of stato i
troops, in preventing violence and <
bloodshed. i
In the forests and prairies of north- <
r?rn Minnesota are great extents of ?
fertllo lands which, owing to lack of (
drainage, linvo not lieen available for >
cultivation. Thanks to Governor John- |
son, additional legislation 011 this subject
was secured, and hundreds of
thousands of acres of fertllo land will
bo added to tho rolls of tho stato's
wealth.
Governor Johnson believes In the
municipal ownership of public utilities. 1
niul, following Ids suggestion, n modi- I
fled form of the Illinois Mueller law I
was adopted by tho Minnesota loglsln- I
turo. Under its provisions a municipal- <
Ity may bond Its street railways or |
'rther public utilities to pay tho cost of \
tho purchnso and operation of tho |
wime.
Minnesota, a leading agricultural i
date, has long had to contend with ,
Jim cordage trust, which has a practical
monopoly of tho binding twine
ised in harvesting. For many years <
Iho state has had a twino plant in
Evhieh prison labor was employed. Tho
:rust erected a factory in Minnesota
:o competo with tho state made twine,
ind Governor Johnson's answer was,
tvith tlio consent of tho legislature,
uithorlzntlon for tho state twine plant
o sell its product outsido as well as
ivltliln the stato. Tho cordage trust
vlll now havo to flght tbo choap Minlesota
stato mado twine in other states
is well as at home.
