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. Music?A merioa, / invocation?Mr. R. J. Cochran. Recitation?Miss Sarah McCray. Recitation?Miss Mary Foldor.

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. ' w ' % !S.">fMr> Pounds Nitrate Soda.
