South Carolina needs a compulsory
education law, and for many good and
sufficient reasons it should come just as
soon as possible.
No one who loves his State, and has
her welfare at heart, will dispute the
fact that every white child within the
bounds of the State should receive a
common school education. It was with
this end in view that our free common
school system was established. No one
can dispute the fact that there are
white children growing up in all parts
of the State who can neither read nor
write, who have never attended school
for a single day. Only the other day
a case was brought to light in one of
our upper counties. In a preliminary
trial a white girl nine years of age was
put upon the witness stand. Upon ex
amination she made the statement that
she could neither read nor ivrite, nor
had she ever heard of the existence of
a God. Three school houses and a num
ber of churches were within easy walk
ing distance from her home.
The greatest objection that has
hitherto been urged against tho passage
of a compulsory education law in this
State is that the negroes will be forced
to school, and from school they will go
to the ballot box, and when they go to
the ballot box negro supremacy will be
the inevitable result. The fallacy of
this argument is patent to every
thoughtful man who is in touch with
the true conditions. It is a fact that
can be proved by statistics that the ne
groes are at present being educated
faster than the whites, that during the
decade from 1890 to 1900 the decreasc
in the percentage of their illiteracy it
this State was nearly three times as
great as the decrease in the illiteracy
of the whites. The negroes are takinj
advantage of every opportunity to get
an education. They prefer it to food
and raiment, and they are making re
markable strides.
If these facts are true, and they ar
true, what would be the r tilt of com
pulsory education? The -egroes al
present are taking all the educatior
they can get. They would receive nc
more. The white people who see the
incalculably great advantages of ar
education, and who are already sending
their children to school would not ht
affected in the least. Only, those )(r
sons would be reached, who by lepriv
ing their children of an education, art
daily committing a crime against theil
State and against society.
Let it be supposed, however, that the
negroes would receive additional ad
vantages. Shall we let the white chil
dren remain in ignorance for fear the
negroes will receive an education? The
fact can not be too strongly impressee
upon our people that it were better thai
a thousand negroes should be educated,
with negro supremacy staring us in the
face, than that one white child should
remain in ignorance.
We plead for the education of the
masses, let the conseqluences be what
they may. No one dloubts that it is
right. From the wvhite man's stand
point, we believe that it is expedient.
In connection with the question o1
compulsory education conmes that of
child labor. There is little dloubt there
Is going to be child labor legislation ii
this State, and that it is coming at the
next session of the legislature. TPh
children will be kept out of the mills,
When this is done, they must be re
quired to attendl school. Comipulsory
education will result.
The best solution of the whole matter
is a wise and just comp)ulsory education
law. Give us this, and we wvill need ne
child labor legislation. The children of
the mills, and all the childreni of the
State betweecn certain ages, will be re
quired to attend school. Tlhen, and
then only, will South Carolina have
taken the piosition she should occupy
among the galaxy of States.
The Richmond Dispatch says:
"A Richmond man wvho has been
striving for twvo months to overcome
his owvn faults rep)orts that his occup)a
tion keeps him too busy to be lookmn
after those-of his neighbor."'
It is a good rule. If we wvould look
more carefully after our owvn faults and
not be so concerned about our' neighbors.
.we would find our time more profitably
employed. It might be a good rule in
business as well. There are some peco
pIe who seem more concerned about
other people's business than they
are about their own. But there is
something human in the ability to see
the mote in our brother's eye when we
cannot see the beam in our own.
Eight cents for cotton and a good
corn crop with plenty of peas and hay
should make this county in good condi
tion financially. The farmer should sell
cotton as fast as he can gin it, especial
ly so long as he can get 8 cents and
over for it. The price will in all p)roba
bility come below that figure, andl if it
goes up again, as it most likely wvill, it
will be too late to benefit the producer.
We regret very much the illness of
the veteran editor of the Greenville
Mountaineer, Col. Jas. A. Hoyt, but
are glad to see he is improving, and
hope he will soon be himself again.
The Democratic State convention of
New York had rather a stormy time on
Wednesday, but Hill still rules. Bird
S. Coler, of Brooklyn was nominated
for g'overnor and Chas. N. Bulger, of
Oswego for lieutenant Governor.
The following appeared in the edito
rial columns in a recent issue of the
Detroit Free Press:
"To be sure, the lot of the Rouma
nian Jew is not a happy one, yet they
do not burn him at the stake if he is
remotely suspected of having commit
ted a crime against society. lie has
few political privileges, but they do not
assassinate hun when he undertakes to
exercise those few. He has a melan
choly social standing, but they do not
compel him to ride in Jim Crow cars;
they do not refuse to serve him in hotels
and restaurants, and they do not lynch
him if he grows insistent and under
takes to assert his lawful privileges."
With such articles as this daily mak
ing their appearance in the Northern
press, is it any wonder that, though
thirty-seven years have passed since
the stars and bars were furled at Appo
mattox, the wounds caused by the civil
war have not yet wholly healed? Ne
groes are sometimes lynched in the
South. This the Southern people will
not attempt to deny, and they hold that
there are times when such action is
justifiable in the sight of God and man.
But whence comes the right of the
Northern people to call them to account,
when statistics will' show that in pro
portion to negro population in each see.
tion, the North in recent years leads ir
negro lynchings?
As to Jim Crow car laws and the re
fusal of our people to admit negroes
into Southern hotels. Let the North
ern people dine negroes if they so de
sire. Let them permit negroes to rid<
beside their wives and daughters in rail
road cars, if they wish. Let them pul
negroes ou? a social equality with them
selves, if they believe that it is just
and proper. The South will raise n<
kick. But the broad and yawning
chasm of an undying belief in the God
given superiority of the Anglo-Saxor
race, a superiority to he upheld by th(
shot-gun if necessary, shall continui
forever to stand between such thing.
and the Southern people.
There never was a time when th(
Democrats needed one good leader ani
harmony in the ranks more than a
present.
There seems to be little prospect o
arbitration in the mattez of the coa
strike in Pennsylvania. At the pres
ent rate it will not be so very lon
until we will discard diamonds for coal
