WAY OF EDUCATION |
What is education? No matter
how we might define it there is one
thing we know and that is that it is
just what it is, no matter how it is
acquired.
Some have the idcvi that there is a
difference in a college education and
one obtained some other way. Hut
there is not any difference, becau :e
education is (ho same tiling in any j
kind of style that it may l>o obtained.
Others seem to think that i( can
be acquired only in the schools and
the colleges of the land. This is another
mistake. Wo know men who
arc highly educated who never saw
the inside of a college. We know
some who never saw even the inside
of a schoolliouse of the humblest sort
and yet they are educated to the highest
degree.
Some think about education and
want it to the greatest extent and
never for one moment realize that it
is within their power to net just
whenever they are willing to make the
mental effort to get it.
Education is merely the training
of the mind to enable it to improve
in its power and might and thus increase
the creative principle that exists
in all humankind. KdisonV idea
of an educated man, if he has any
such idea, is not to he considered hecause
he has tile wrong idea, if he
believes that the test of ed .uviti'?n is
the same as that which he implied to'
applicants for positions .ionic timei
ago. His test consisted in selecting!
from his list those who could remember
the most facts. The idea of edu-!
cation is not that. Education has to 1
l>e limited to that which men and
women ma\ acquire under conditions
laid upon us hy nature itself. Some
few make special elTort to train the
mind in remembering everything they
read or think over. It takes great
effort on the part of the mind to do
that and also long continued effort;
but the mind is trained in only this
one way. The successful men and
women of this time are those who
have trained their minds to retain
that which they need and can use
while that which they will not need
is cast into the discard. It was so
with the successful men and women
of the past. Those in the future wno
will make tine most out of their powers
will be those who will know what
should be remembered and will ci?->t
off and spend no time with the things
that are of no use to them. Take the
one who shows a pride in retaining
in his brain the greatest number of
facts and information and it is nothing
unusual to find out tlv.it he or
she is of no use in any particular
thing in lite. He or she is just simply
a walking dictionary and nothing
more.
m A start in llie right way is a great
W thing for any in 11 vidua!. Recently!
aliout five hundred peoj)le in this
county have been started along the
way of education !>y ibe efforts of
the state dep.ar ir.ent <>!' education in I
co-operation with the county superintendent
and the Chamber of Commerce
of Conway. If those men and
women realty wan; n education they
now have all they need to get it, provided
they are willing to keep on the
way. They may not have the money
to pay tuition. The. ? ay not be able
to support their fami'ie while .spending
their l ive in school, hut they can
get ,un education by their own efforts
if they will. O'hers have dor.e it and
they can do it. it fakes some pluck
and effort to succeed in an undertaking.
U cannot bo done bv sitting
down and folding hands. If an education
is what they want the thing
for them to do is to study and study
and keep on at it.
o
One of the finest little things ever
done was the folder entitled, "Beautiful
Thoughts," given 'to the pupils
lif UlP wi'i 1 i ii tr fin ju in fho Jirlllll
schools. It contained some of the
host sayings of the men of best minds.
The banks of Conway paid for the
printing of the work, while to Miss
Wil Lou Gray belongs the credit of
getting these geni? of thought to
gether. This littie book will have its >
influence upon the lives of the men 1
and women to whom it was given.
The banks deserve credit for their
generosity in this matter. Money
could not be given in any better way.

ANOTHER NOTE
Dear Editor:
I went to Conway to court just to
meet a lot of my old warm friends.
How I did enjoy seeing them! It
seems that our hearts did burn with
joy within us. After we talked of
the joy of the past I saw the courtyards
so full of people up there for
crime. It didn't use to be this way.
And ought not t o be so now. Young'
men as the deputies would lead them
back and forth from the court to the
jail house, how bad it looked! What
a bad looking reputation it made for
them! It seemed that 95 per cent of
the court had whiskey and fighting
at the bottom of it, and perhaps more,
such as marriages and adulteries: I
was informed by two responsible parties
of Conway that some of the members
of the churches had a petition
or some agreement asking the male
members not to drink any more for
a year. I would like to know what
this class of the people joined the
church for. If people in the churches
are going to drink and make no
changes I would like to know wlv.it
kind of' :i lio'lil 1 Inn' (liii.L
v i V v I I I I ? IV HIV \ (11 Ut
The only good 1 can see in such as
thai is what money they give I ho
preacher and other causes of the
church. We can neither fool God nor
nan at this. 1 have oftimes been
told that in some churches we have
checker boards. They look very
harmless, but so often lead to a ruined
life and to a gambler's life at last.
The things that were wrong fifty
years ago are wrong today. V. hen
leaders hold up such a light as that,
how can they ask for better got'er iment
? It is something t ? think
about. A lawyer will**! iIce t!'C money
f-'om a whi-kev deaiev and f'uhc justice
and the strong arm of the state,
.and fight principle and the better clement
of people for a 'itt'e money.
And beg 4lie judge to bp merciful 1 o
him. I know they have t > iive 1 v
the bad conduct of the country, but
there is certain crime 1 lon't see how
they cun fight for. Go to the polls
and vote to elect a man for sheri'V
and other offices for the county end

evil. The man that makes itwmd they
who buy and sell it are all purgingthomselve.s.
They are dangerous
citizen;;. Oh God, when will we as a
people stand with clean hearts and
"lean hards of this awful evil! Don't
hide behind anything! Stand ?ace to
"-,ce for the .truth. From the little
tiny humming bird to .the biggest ostrich
on earth have reputations for
oir.o good, from the little flea bug
>f the different animals to the largelephant
that ever lived, and the
litVerent insects, most of them have
o lething good in their lives. Poor
dd alcohol has never had a word of
)od spoken of him, and never has
a line of good been written for him
in any book that has ever been seen.
He is the father of troubles, the father
of orphanages, the father of the
wife's being killed and the children
lef\ to an orphanage. He has filled
the asylums and paupered homes and
prisons with regret. He has taken us
from the locomotive and put us pulling
eros. cut saws. He has taken us
from prominent offices ,tand business
places of every kind and have brough;
\>,s down into the jaws of poverty,
wreck and ruin. Some years ago in
Wilmington, N. C\. a bunch of young
V'on were standing up in a crowd,
drinking. An oid man walked up and
l-ked them for a drink. They gave
it 'o him and one of them said,
"Tramp?" and ho said t"Yes." An
"r one of Mie boys said, '"I don't
care." He said, "Hoys, don't sa\
that; that is what has brought me to
be a tramp, drinking* and don't care."
1 ?aw a trrn p one cob' n'gM at
^u'lins and told him be might go to
iiir. i>*?ill and 'ie by the furnaces. He
looked so pitiful with h: - whi'e 'ocks
of bait' as they hun? down. Ho said
to me, "t have once been big ' k<and
a broker in Cicada; I 1 eM a
prominent ofTice in Canada for Km'1
land; I drew a check one dav for
$50,000." said he. ""'he president crone
of 11 ,e bent's indorsed it for me."
Ho also s:iid, "My >v>nny friend-; hold
me up for years, but that demon,
drink, led me away from all of this
and ;ill that is good and made me a
t ram]) in his co'd. cold world:
leaves me friendless, hopeless, penniless
in this cold world. It will do
you the same if you follow it. It ha
caused me to a great extent to be
without education. It has taken the
rich foods off one man's table and left
it dry and blank and put it on the
other man's table, ft has put cush
ion chairs, plush carpets, fine pi.'inos,
electric lights and warm beds in some
homes for awhile, and in some homes
there are no chairs. And it lias robbed
other homes of everything and caused
them to sleep cold, have bare feet and
a leaking house."
Your valuable paper can't contain
(he crime and hear'aches that have
grown from that source. A great
deal is said about the boll weevil and
how to get rid of him. You will
never get rid of him by spraying
your cotton or trying to freeze him to
death. The fourth chapter of Malachi,
beginning with the eighth verse
reads thus: "Will a man rob God?
Rut ye say wherein have we robbed
Thee? In tithes and in offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse; ye have
robbed Me, even this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse
that there may be meat in mine
house, and prove me now herewith,
saith the Lord of hosts, if 1 will not
open you the windows of Heaven and
pour you out a blessing' that there
shall not be room enough to receive
it. And * will rebuke the demons for
your sake and he shall not deslrov
the fruits of your ground, neither shaji
your vine cast her fruit before the
time in the field, saith the Lord of
I hosts, and all nations shall call you
blessed for ye shall be the delightsome
land saith the Lord of hosts."
"If we will give to God's cause
and peop'e the truth, and live right
and leave oM* shows of every kind,
, and church festivals, basket parties,
box parties and fruit suppers, Christ'
mas trees and waltzing and other
kinds of dancing and celebrate Xmax
Day and New Year's Day, and nights
of all holidays to the glory of God
with prayer and other thanksgiving,
God wolild remove these things. There
is no doubt but what Pharaoh tried
to kiM all the frogs and lice and other
pestilences that came to Egypt and
the people died, the first-born and
other pestilences until he agreed for
tlie children of Israel to go. We've
lied, wo've stolen, we've cheated, we
have wet tho cotton before selling it,
and we have gambled over it; we've
burned it, we've killed one another
over it. we have done everything
over cotton that we could, so God has
turned the little boll weevil loose.
An 1 prayer and a Godly life are the
only things that will ever move him.
Some of you Solomons will laugh at
this a- you may road it, but it is true
just the same. It was said that a
boll weevil .said to a cotton planter.
"Let me drive your automobile?"
The farmer said, "No sir, you can't
J drive mine." Me said, "Yes, I will;
i have driven many <>f them under
the shelter and 1 will drive youi
there yet." Of course you can. read
between the lines about the question
and see what it means. Three years
ago when a little blood money came
over the country we thought it was
here to stay but it left, like it came,
and left the country in a much
worse condition than if it hadn't
come. Go to church now and you
hear one man say to others, "Good
morning how is your tobacco
plants."? "Mine aint doing so well.'
You hear the other man say sometimes;
"Mine are almost as big as a
dollar."
While the poor HJlie preacher is
Irvine to preach thirty minutes our
minds and hearts aretstill in the tobacco
patch and not on God. "From
the abundance of* the heart the
mouth speakcth." The question is being
asked. "What makes money so
scarce?" Some say it is politics." 1
am in hopes they will soon get full
and fall off. My Lord if they bite
this hard in the next three years
don't know what the end will be. It
this be true it is said that Mr. Hard
, ing is .1 missionary Baptist and
some of them believe in eloso ComI
munion. It looks like it now, if this

eon a mistake for the nurser> must
have been exhausted or this clniate
doesn't suit them, anyhow, we have
f*1.il?d to get them. I will say further
that if the .strong arms of the different
States and the U. S. would
tHce enough of this ro.ad money to
dilch tho rich swamps and hays instead
of them freighting in so much
fertilizer to try to raise corn with,
and put these automobiles under a
shelter except when needed our
country would he far better off. An
automobile is the sorriest thing to
farm with I ever saw. It looks like
our country is like the girl's sweet
heart, it's deformed. The love i.; ; P
on one side. 1 love to see education
and schools. We give a girl abovt a
dollar an hour to stay at a school
house, and poor men with from one to
''ivo or six children work from six to
six for one dollar or one dollar and
a quarter, and his wife for f'f 1
cents a day, to help pay these high
schools and road taxes. As 1 have
said once before more education,
more s 'hools and more ta: c .

farmer gets his little lit of sixteen

miles from home and five hundred

Sometime ago in Georgetown, S. C.,

"Fifteen miles per hour." So he
