1'oor Attendance?Even with in-,
aufllclent funds, poor school houses,
short ychool terms, and incompetent
teachers, the peoplo may still show
a commendable educatllnal purpose
bjr sending every child to school j
erery day the schools are in session.
Much good may l>o got out of a very
inferior school, if the children attend
it regularly and with the purpose
of getting the most possible out
if it. How are tho white children
of South Oarolina attending the
schools? In 1907, tho white enrollment
in the public schools of the
State was 1 4 4,668, while tho average
attendance was only 103,1104. The
federal census taken seven years before
1900, gives South Carolina
217.972 white children between the
ages of 5 and 20 years, while our
logal school age Is between f> and
21 years. It Is safe to assert that
barely sixty per cent of the white
children of the State are enrolled in
any kind of a school, and not over
forty per cent are in average attendance.
In 1 900, thirty-six per cent
of the white children between the
ages of 10 and 14 years were n >t
enrolled in any school, public or
private. In the same year Massachusetts
had only six per cent of her
white children of tno corresponding
ages out of school, Connecticut had
seven per cent, and Michigan eiglu
per cent.
In 1900, South Carolina had 54,177
native white illiterates over 1 u
years of age, only 792 fewer white
illiterates than the State had in
187 0, thirty years previous. At the
same date Connecticut, with nearly
twice the white population of South
Carolina, had but 1,958 white 111 i * erates
over 10 years of age. Again,
South Carolina had 15.042 native
white illiterates of the voting age;
Uho ? Island, with four-lifths the
population of South Carolina, had
juat 550. We had 17,83 9 native
white illiterates between the ages

twice our population, had 1,141;
Gonnectlvut had 140, and Rhode
Island 100. Is It reasonable to hope
for the South Carolina of tomorrow,
with her load of helpless Illiterates,
to cope successfully with those States
and sections which havo frood themselves
from the bondage of tgno
ranee? 'i ho day is forever gone from
Sooth Carolina when a few highly
trained men of leisure could direct
and control the destinies of the people.
This responsibility has been
shifted to the shoulders of tho.masses,
and now we aro forced to con
aider the training of tho masses.
Only yesterday Hon. O. B. Marun
gave out this: "Several educational
leaders in New Rngland frankly
told us that they are spending
their money and building up then
schools in order to retain and maintain
their industrial supremacy
They realized that wo have advantages
and great resources in th?.
South, but they propose to keep th\
load, if possible, through the powei
of trained brains and trained hands '
Intelligence and skill will win even
time in every race. What is Bout'
Carolina doing to meet this oper
challenge from New Rngland?
Who aro these South Carolina
wmte cnnaren not in school, an*
why are thoy not In school? Som<
are the sons and daughters of parent:
themselves Ignorant and unable t<
appreciate or to understand whn
education means to their chlldrer
and to the State; some are chlldrer
of fathers and mothers, greedy ar.
selfish, who are more than willing
to make wage-earners and bread
winners out of their young untaugh
offspring; a few are the children o
parents opposed to education, be
cause they have known some edu
cated scoundrels; a very few an
the children of parents who actual!;
need the labor of their children t<
eke out a living, and many are tin
children of fathers engrossed in ma
terial affairs and mothers rocrean
to duty. Many of these children an
at work on the farm, in stores am
shops at a few cents a day, and ii
the cotton mills making good wage

At Salt Lake City Wednesday tn
inking a speech at a Democrat!;
rally Frank S. Monnett, former attorney
general of Ohio, said:
"The reason I left the Republican
party and advocate the election of

I was prosecuting the Standard Oil
Trust In Ohio, and with every reason
to expect a successful Issue. The
Republican campaign fund of Ohio
was swelled by contributions front
the Standard Oil Company and n

to name the personnel of supreme

Two of the worst enemies to child '
hood and youth are* overwork and
Idleness. Close confinement at manual
labor Is dulling, stifling, and destructive
to the childhood; idleness
is ixiisonous and ruinous to youth. <
Attendance upon school may ho used
as a corrective for both evils. The
State, in order to protect at least
one class of children agalnat overwork,
has passed -a child labor law.
Itarring some notable exceptions, the
alK)rtiveness of that law is a common
jest. To illustrate: In 1905, one
of our city school superintendent'*
lost more than twenty pupils from
one school within two months. in
company with one of the cotton ml'l
superintendent of that town (a man!
in favor of schools), the school superintendent
went from house to !
house In the mill village enquiring
for these missing children. In one
afternoon he located twelve of them,
every one of them unlawfully engaged
at*work In the mill, though ,
only three of their names appeared
on the pay-roll.
Now, the child of the lazy, greedy,
Hellish parent is at work, and not
In school. The child of the Ignorant
and Indifferent parent is neither,
sit work nor in school; he Is idling.
Iloth children need to be educated*
the State needs both of them; and
the State has already decreed that
the taxpayers shall establish and
maintain schools for both. The.v
remains but one logical thing to do
?compel the parents of both to send
their children to school. There is
but little logic in compelling peopm
to pay taxes to support the schools,
then permitting the parents of the
children who most need the schools
,1 I 1- a 1 r a %_ .
iiciiiivi uinjr iu nui.'i* l ill! Ill IIUII1 lllil
benefit a of the schools. The poorer
the child the more la tho need for
compelling lila parents to send him
to school. Compulsory attendance
laws are aimed at the selfish and Indifferent
parent, not at the child.
Of what advantago are good teachers,
long school terms, and fine
school houses, unless the children
attend the schools? In a recent election
to increase tho local school tax
in a district in North Carolina, where
they have recently enactel a kind
of local option compulsory law, a
. certain taxpayer inado this declaration:
"If you voto to compel the
children of this district to go to
school, Increase my tax as you
please; if you are uot going to put
the children Into the schools, I am
opposed to any further tax." That
. man's argument haH no answer.
Some opponent to a compulsory
! law says, "You have not enouga
. school houses and teachers to take
. care of the thousands of children
j not in school." That argument Is
worthless, unless we are wi'ling to
admit that tho white people of th?
State are actually unable to take
. care of their children. Lot some
5 philanthropist offer to aid South
? Carolina in matters educational,
- then you get an answer to that question.
Will the school houses ever

at home and abroaa, with no flatterinr

a disgrace to the business man and
farmer.
"Look at the price of corn, oats,
wheat, lard, meat and hay, to say
nothing of other commercial articles,
and compare there with cotton
Why didn't the panic affect them?
Resides, about two-thirds of the
American crop is sold in Europe. A
panic in America should not affect
the buying power of foreign countries.
"It is Rnld that goods cannot be
sold at present prices, or are not
being sold, because It would represent
a loss to the manufacturer, by
the same token cotton should not
be sold, because It represents a loss
to the grower. Because fifteen cents

why eight cents should he taken

Senator and Mrs. Tillman landc l
in New York on Tuesday after a?.
absence of Ave months in Europe. '
He is greatly improved in health an I
enjoyed his trip abroad very much.
He did not tarry long in New York,
but left for his home soon after he
landed. He crossed the ocean in the
fine steamship Kroonsland. He was
besieged by news gatherers as boo i
as he landed in New York.
"The Archbald letters that Mr.
Hearst has read are the big thing
of this campaign and the one subject
of interest on the other side,"
"I see that he got McLaurln. I
am not surprised. We were on to
McLaurln in the Democratic wing
of the senate, and read him out of
the caucus eight years ago. He belongs
with the corporation?controlled
senators and we told him so."
"1 cannot but feel a little pity fo~
Senator Foraker," continued Mr.
Tillman. 'He is an old man and is
no worse than a good many of the
rest of them?In Ohio, too, I might
add. He, of course, deserves what
punishment this expose will bring,
but I hope Mr. Hearst will get the

Senator Tillman paused to engage
in repartee with a Philadelphian
on the tariff question, and then said
that he would hurry to Washington
for a few days. From there he will
go to his homo and rest until his
duties call him to the capital again.
Tillman in Washington.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says Senator
and Mrs. Tillman arrived in Washington
Tuesday night en route home.
When seen at his hotel Wednesday
morning, Senator Tillman was surrounded
by half a dozen or more
newspaper men and other friends,
who had called to welcome him
home, and to get his views on th?
Presidential campaign and other
matters.
Senator Tillman is naturally very
deeply interested in the outcome of
the Presidential election, and although
he has been absent, and not
in cIopo touch with the management

knowledge of the situation loads
him to believe that Bryan will be
the next President of the United
States. He doe# not Intend to entm*

travels, and be ready for the approaching
session of Congress In D v
cember.
To The News and Courier correspondent
the Senator said that h >.
had read the Archbold and McLaurin
disclosures, and that the light had
been turned at last on to the ac?s
and doings of the "commercial Democracy
gang." With unusual vigor
the Senator said: "What I would
like to know now is this, 'what
newspaper in the State received ahy
portion of that five thousand dollars
from the Standard Oil, and why
is it, the different detective editors
within the State have not taken the
trouble to ascertain what newspaper
supported the 'comercial Democracy
gang' and publish the list so that
the people could know who the beneficiaries
were."
Continuing, he said: "Certai i
newspapers have been very vlgilent
in 'raking up past records. Now let
them come forward and give the
people the names of the bobtail
papers in the State that were knocking
at the doors of the Standard
Oil treasury for 'lubrication.' Ha l

Itllghting Effects of the Drug Vividly
Illustrated in the Cumc of Two
Young People.
The blighting powers of cocaine,
says The News and Courier, were |
vividly demonstrated when Louis ^
Malone and his wife, Kosa, a young
white couple, were arrested an t
hailed before Magistrate O'Shaugtinessy's
Court on a warrant perferred
against them by Mr. Klias S. Win- 1
gate, charging them with malicious
mischief in cutting up and otherwise
demolishing an old schooner belonging
to him, lying at Potter's wharf, i
in which he auowed them to live'
through compassion excited by their
destitute and desperate condition.
Moth persons appeared before the
magistrate in an almost starving
condition, clothing in rags, neither
of them weighing over 7 5 poundo
and frankly attributed their condition
to the use of the devastating
drug. Their wretched and skeletoilike
appearance excited so much pity

suddenly resolved to dismiss the
charges against the two and praye1
the Court to turn the prisoners loose.
Malone nas since boon arrested >y

and sentenced to a fine of $r> or to
ten day8 in the County Jail.
Before becoming addicted to the
use of cocaine Malone. who was born
in this city, is said to have boon a
first-class carpenter, but the evil influence
of the drug soon sapped nis
vital powers, and this is the more
pitiful because of the fact that ne
married, and through his influence
his young wife also became addicted
to its use. About a year ago the
couple came here to live, but we'd
from bad to worse, and it eventuallv
came about that the two had no place
to call home.
After wandering about for sever i!
months they at length picked out tne
old dismantled schooner "Maggie '
moored at Potter's wharf, aH a place
of residence. The owner, Mr. Ellas
S. Wingate, hearing the depl Table
story, was loath to eject them from
the sorry shelter as long as thej*
behaved themselves, hut the two
soon made themselves objoctionable
by tearing and cutting off the woodwork
of the vessel to use as fuel
with which to keep warm on cold
nights. Mr. Wingate personally tried
to Induce them to leave, but had to
resort to the law, as the Malone*"
positively refused to leave peaceably '
Constable William R. Way states
that the condition of the two cocain?
fienda In their "home" was almost
unbelieveably bad. They slept in a
place barely eighteen Inches high in
the hold, because tho other parts of
the vessel were too uncomfortably
cold for them in their drugged con '
dition. The officer had hard work to
find out this sleeping room, but was
finally attracted by the groans anil
moans of the woman, wh ohad just
previously taken a stiff dose of tho
poison and was under its influence I
The deck of the schooner was described
as being Uterully covered
by the little white pill uoxes which
had once contained the cocaine.
Offers of help were made to the
Malones by Magistrate O'Shaughnes-I
sy and several other people present I
at the trial, with a view of relieving
their destitute condition, but these I
kind offers were bruskly brushed i
aside by the man, who stated that'
tney were too far gone already in
their Indulgence of cocaine to care
for assistance. When Louis was arrested
by the police on a charge of
vagrancy Friday afternoon he gave
the officers a terrible fight for the I
possession of the cocaine syringe and
the drug.
Salvation Army officers found out '
tho condition of the couple, and
were especially excited to pity
iniuuKii m>sa s ragged and wretched
appearance. The woman was taken
to the Salvation Army home and j
there cared for before was decided!
to send her to her home in Birm-1

only a few short weeks and then'
again followed the fortunes of her
husband. In an uncommonly short
space of time she was again In the
same deplorable condition in which
she was found by the Salvation Army
officers. The skin of both unfortunates
has turned a deep yellow
through the excessive use of the
drug.

DR J. H. CARLISLE
HIS MAKVKLOl'S IXFM HXCH ON
YOUNG
\
Possibly the Groat llusineM of TeachinK
May Get S?uno Hint From
This Simple Store.
If you were to go to the tov.n of
Spartanburg, S. C., says Worlds
Work, and spend an evening in the
house of any man who lives there,
the converation would be Suro to
turn to Dr. Carlisle; and, if you
should happen to go to the homo of
any one who hatO* direct personal
interest in Wofford college .which
is situated at one end of the town,
tho chances are that most of the
talk of the evening would be about.
Dr. Carlisle. If you happened to bo
at the college at a commencement,
time, you would hear a reverent an I
affectionate allusion to Dr. Carlisle
in every public address, and
you migh see every clam
that comes back to its reunion
go to his house in a body
to express their atfcctionate obligation
to him.
And who is DrACarlisle? A man
who went to the rollege as a teacher
of "astronomy and moral science '
in 18.r.4, when it was founded, and
who has been there ever since, i
part of the time as teacher, a parr,
of the times as president and again
as teacher. He still meets his classes
once or twice a week even at his
advanced age- Doubtless neithoi
philosophers nor astronomers regard
him as a great contributor to their
departments of learning. Yet it is
doubtful whether there bo an astronomer
or philosopher at any institution
or in any community in our
whole land who has exerted so strong
an influence upon the young men
who have come in contact with him.
They do not say that he taught them
astronomy or that he taught them
philosophy, but they do all bear
testimony to his giving them in great
er measure than any other man a
right adjustment to life and a moral
uplift?a kind of influence the* 40
oldest of his pupils, who are ..ow
themselves far on in middlo life,
remember with an affection that has
grown since their youth; and,
throughout the area of the college's
influence, men and women say, "Wo
must send our sons to Wofford college
because Dr. Carlisle is there."
He is now an old gentleman, of
great dignity of character and cmL
speech, of wide if desultory roadirJJL
but not of the modern type of schol
arship. He is not an orator, and
yet, until a few years ago, he had the
habit of delivering a public lecturo
once n year or oftener in the town,
and anybody who did not go to hear
him lost standing in the community
by his absence. These lectures wore
lay esrmon, but everybody received
them as a sort of half-inspired deliverance.
He has never hold a public
office, except that he was a member
of the Secession convention in
South Carolina and is the only surviving
member but one, and he is
said to have called this adventure
a piece of hoys foolishness. Ho wa*.
never a preacher, hut always only
a teacher, and what he taught best,
was neither science nor literature,
but character.
The story is told of a man in
Texas WhO mot a visitor frrvm VI,,nr.
tnnburg. The first question he asked
was, "Do you know Dr. Carlisle?"
' Yes," said the other. "Are you
going hack to Spartanburg?''
"Yes." "Well, I wish you would
give Dr. Carlisle by most affection
ate regards, ^remind him that I was.
dismissed from college for misconduct
in spite of his effort to save
me, tell him that I came to Te,\as and
for several years I tried my best to
go to the devil by various roads, but
that I did not succeed, because before
I got far I at ways saw his fingor
pointed at ine and heard his voice,
and they restrained me. He may ba
glad to hear this."
Possibly the great business of
teaching may get some hint from
this simple story. *
