WHAT ABOUT IT. Writer Says Negroes Already Ha1 Comnuplsory Education Law. r 10ditor The Laurens Advertiser: A negro school teacher inl Sout - Carolina recently said that the whit people of 'outli Carolina passed law in 1895 compelling the negroe to attend school when the constitu t tional convention required that a ne gro be able to read and write o that he hold property before he coul, vote. He smiled and said that sinc that time the negro children coul not be kept from going to schoo and that the negro schools were al ways crowded, but now the whit people would be forced to pass a com pulsory education law to give th white Children the educatiol 'the would need to compete with the ne gro. So we have in South 'Carolina comIAulsory law already for' the ne groes.
