that Horry County people has stood

calss who does .nothing except talk.
He never gets tired and can hold out

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

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.

! 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

J' .V V. * V??MA ^v\? A w 1 V-(A\ 11 OVII\;i(U OIIJ
which is a few dollars higher than
the cash price. Where 30, 60 or 90
days notes are Riven, no difference in
price, is charged. 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

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

student desires), after which the said

departments of the college and completes

j this plan, the scholarships are good

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.

Oflicers arrested the negroes while
the intense excitement caused by the

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

them back through Jonesville to Union,
