The least you hear in the way of news the more you may know they are do-1 ing in the destruction of each other. * * * The latest news from the European war is to the effect that it is not yet over and there is yet no decisive battle, and there is still no telling when it will end. * * ? What would have become of the poor Belgians if it had not been for the charity and good will of the Amer ican people? It is bad as it is with this unfortunate people, but it would have been worse. * ? ? Throughout this period of hard times and tight money, we venture to say that Horry County people has stood as well as any people in the whole country. They have thought as little about it and sufTerered just as little as any. The Herald has the faith in Conway to believe that the day is coming when she will be a big city and will be one or the chief points of business and traffic on the great inland waterway. * * * To the young, Chiis-cm.ns when once gone, seems that it can never come again. To the old the next Chrismas is not long off. Well, every day will be Sunday by and by. * Have you ever seen the man who would stand up on a street corner and talk and talk until you thought he would drop dead, and he was just as fresh as ever after an all-day perform ance on his vocal organs? The reason is not far to find. He belongs to that calss who does .nothing except talk. He never gets tired and can hold out on tins one stunt forever * ? Experience of every day life has proved that it is no uncommon thing for serious charges to be brought by irresponsible persons against those who are higher in intelligence and chicvement. A study of the circumstances in such cases ought to be sufficient to convince any reasonable man of the falseness of the charge. Prejudice is too often allowed to con trol not only the people in their beliefs but even the eourts themselvesc. * * * * TEACHING SEX HYGIENE IN SCHOOLS. There has been considerable discussion on the question of teaching sex hygiene in the public schools. The advantages of increased knowledge for the children as well as the practical difficulties of presenting this subject properly, have been commented on from various points of view. There has been little effort, however, to secure an expression of opinion from those vitally interested, namely, the parents and the children themselves. For this reason, the report of the Bureau of Research of the Upper Peninsular (Michigan) Educational Association, recently issued, is of interest. This bureau was organized to make a direct study of the schools of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan equipment and their methods and ma terial for study. It is at present endeavoring to discover the points ol strength and weakness of the schools as judged by parents and others interested in them. The report jusi issued is divided into four sections moral education, physical education industrial education and general. Th< basis for the report is the individua opinion of JUT representative citizens *'*? ; .. r I < ' 1'rf f "'f >'* ? ???. jet!.*, r sviV.itcts i'iscu>:b< tl, \i.e om.l'or was asked of parents, "Do you believe that sex hyigene should be taught in the schools?" To this question, inety-two replied "yes," while 175 opposed such instruction; six made qualified replies. Commenting on those answers, the report says that the replies j indicate that patrons of schools are | not ready as yet to have sex hyigene J taught in the schools. "Doubtless but few teachers arc qualified to teach j the subject well," says the report, "and to teach it poorly would be much worse than not to teach it at all." The bureau also endeavored to get the point of view of the pupil. At Houghton, two lectures on sex hygiene were given boys and two to girls Some time after the lectures, the boys | and girls were segregated and were tasked: "Did you learn anything of : value at the last lecture on sex hyigene?" Ninety boys stated that they had learned something of value and I eight that they had not, while fiftyfour girls regarded the lecturers as of value and twenty did not. When asked: "Do you favor another lecture?" eighty-five boys were in favor of further instuction and thirteeen were opposed to it, while forty-four girls were in favor and thirty were opposed to the proposition. This report, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, emphasizes the points which have been previously brought out; until we know what should be taught pupils at different ages, until we have formulated a definite graded cource of instruction and have trained teachers to give this instruction, the proposition for teaching sex hyigene in the public schools should be approached with the utmost caution. In no case should an effort be made to force such instruction on the pupils or on the community. When the parents of children are convinced, | by a large majority, of the advisability of such instruction, it should be provided. Premature efforts to place such subjects on the school curriculum in advance of public opinion can only cause misunderstanding and trouble. Sale Under Mortgage.

BIG BUSINESS COLLEGE, SPECIAL ANNOUNC i , Largest and Best Known Institi Most Liberal Offer to Yi In keeping with the spirit of times, i the management of Draughon's Practical Business College of Columbia, S. C., (one of the chain of big Draughon Colleges located throughout the Southern and Western States) announces four (4) money saving plans for 1914, to young men and young women planning to enter College in January. While the majority of small business colleges are no longer able to accept cotton at ten cents per pound in payment of tuition the Big Draughon College of Columbia is continuing to offer this ten cent cotton plan, and also announces that notes, payable one year (or longer,) from date, will be accepted in payment for scholarships, while the temporary period of business depression con tinues, in fact this institution is extending to its patrons throughout the State the most liberal terms and conditions with reference to manner of making tuition payments. Following are the four (4) plans of enrollment offered: 1. Cotton Plan?Cotton will be accepted (strict middling) in payment for scholarships and ten cents per pound will be allowed for it. One 500 pound bale will pay for a $50 complete scholarship in the Bookkeeping and Banking Department of Draughon?s College or a complete scholarship in the Shorthand andTypcwriting department. Two such bales will be ac cepted for a combined Scholarship of both Bookkeeping, Shorthand and aux iliary studies. 2 Cash Plan?Where the student enrolling pays cash for scholarship, a 'War Discount" of $10.00 will be allowed and Railroad fare of the student to Columbia will be paid by the College. This is equal in every way, from an economical standpoint, to the cotton plan offered above, and will only remain in force for such a limited time as in the opinion of the College management present existing conditions may justify. 3. Note Plan?If the student wishes to give a note, payable a year (or longer) from date, for the full price of the scholarship, allowing sufficient time for the student to complete the course, accept a position and earn the money with which to pay the note before it falls due, the regular catalogue nrir?r? l* C cVin vcrcil f r?V> ninVl enVinlo voUin J' .V V. * V??MA ^v\?

Many students enter Draughon's College each year under this note plan, and complete their course, accept positions and earn the money to pay their notes before they fall due. If you are interested in this plan, write for special note plan blank which pives full information. 4. By Mail Plan?Any young man or young woman can purchase a Draughon Scholarship for the Bookkeeping and Banking, or for the Shorthand and Typewriting course, and pay for his scholarship with cotton ( on a basis of ten cents per pound), with cash, or with an approved note. The student can then remain at home, and the College will NEGROES HAVE DUEL TWO WHITE GIRLS SHOT Much Excitement in Jonesville, S. C., Over the Casualty. MEGROES MAY BE LYNCHED Miss Fowler Thought to be Fatally Wounded.?Daughters of Well Known Men A bullet from flie pistol of one of two negro men engaged in a duel Saturday afternoon near the depot at Jonesville, S. C., wounded Miss Marie i Fowler and Miss Myrtle Coleman, two 16-year old girls, who were passing along the street when the combatants opened fire on each other. The acci; dental shooting of the two young women, the daughters of well known ' citizens, created great excitement in Jonesville. Angry men beat one of jthe negroes severely. Sheriff Hay i Kant of Union arrived opportunely on | Southern train No. 41 which passes ''about o'clock and took the negroes aboard with him before any violence had been offered to them for their criminal carelessness. Miss Fowler was seriously wounded the bullet passing through her chest. The same bullet struck Miss Coleman in the arm, inieting a flesh wound, j Miss Fowler is the daughter of C. C, i Fowler, a farmer living two miles ' from Jonesville, and Miss Coleman is | the daughter of R. R. Coleman, a i member of the Jonesville police force i Miss Fowler, who received the worse | wound of the two, was carried to the . I Jonesville hotel, near the scene of the . I shooting. She was said to be resting g ^ell and to have a good chance foi 1 recovery. r> The negro men who did the shooting t are Will Hames and Crawford Thomp? e son, both about 85 years old.

I teach him by mail for 3, 4, or 5 I months or longer( as long as the student desires), after which the said student goes to Columbia, enters the departments of the college and completes the course thoroughly under the direct supervision and guidance ? ; ui experienced instructors. Under j this plan, the scholarships are good for instruction both BY MAIL and at COLLEGE, and after studying by mail as long as desired the student enters the institution to complete the work on the same scholarship, with out any additional charge whatever, Full information and testimonial letters from those who have actually uodn popiuu oq \\]/a utqd stifl posn request. Write for them. The above plan (No. 4) will especially appeal to many young men and young women throughout the State during the coming year, because many can afford to purchase a $50 scholarship, for cash or with cotton (at ten cents), but do not feel able or willing, under the conditions now existing, to undertake the monthly board and living expenses which attending a college certainly makes necessary. While progress is not so rapid in taking lessons by mail, the saving in board and living expenses means a great deal. After taking the Home study lessons, a student should be able to go to College, complete the work thoroughly in six to eight weeks and accept a position. Individual letters from those who have used this plan during the past year is the best proof that you can use it too. Write for full details. After the European war has closed and business conditions have adjusted themselves and become normal again, this entire country will experience the greatest and most prolonged period of prosperity and business expansion and development that it has ever known within its history, and opportunities of rapid promotion and advancement in business, for those young people who have the necessary training and are prepared, will be more plentiful than have ever been the case before. The far-sighted young man is already realizing this and is making plans, if he has not already made them, to secure a thorough and practical business training so as to be ready for the opportunities which every big banker and business man will tell you are sure to be so plentiful. Parents who are now planning to place son or daughter in Business College, or young men who look forward to preparing themselves for successful business careers, and wish to economize as much as possible, should write for full information concerning one of the above plans. Money saved is money made, and Draughon's training (endorsed by Bankers and Business men everywhere) - and the Draughon's Business College (the largest business educational training institution in the State) need no introduction to the public, the superiority of the course of study and the greater facilities for securing positions for students being well known. started shooting. Thompson was shot i ? i? " in me teg uv names. A stray bullet from the pistol of one of the negroes struck both Miss Fowler ar.d Miss Coleman. Oflicers arrested the negroes while the intense excitement caused by the ! shooting spread over the town. Sheriff Fant was notified of the shooting in time to catch the westbound afternoon train before it left Union. When the train arrived at Jonesville, ten miles away, the negroes were loaded on it and left in the custody of the sheriff, who took them to Pacolet where he waited until Southern train No. 10, eastbound, arrived. Then he put the negroes aboard and carried them back through Jonesville to Union, where they were put in jail about 9:30 p. m. .COPY SUMMONS FOR. RELIEF. (Complaint Not Served.)
