00N19- TUnIOnA tK'.I)MoCT. The last session of the legislature passed a joint resolution proposing to amend section 2, of article 7, of the constitution, so that the provisions of this section shall not apply to certain townships in the counties of Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens and Saluda. In other words the purpose of adopting this amendment is to destroy the cor porate existernce of these townships. Some years ago these townships voted bonds in and -of a proposed railroad from Augusta to Knoxville. A con siderable amount of grading was done and then the project was abandoned, but the bonds had already been deliv ered and those interested in the road must have complied with the conditions imposed. If so then the bonds should not be avoided by amending the con stitution and destroying the corporate existence of the townships. These bonds are now no doubt in the hands of innocent parties who bought them and paid their honest money for them ex pecting the townships to pay them. It strikes us as repudiation. It is hard to have to pay money for a railroad that was never built, and yet these matters should have been considered before the bonds were .msued. New berry had the same experience in two townships. We rushed to aid in build ing a road from here to Augusta and agreed to deliver our bonds as soon as the road was graded through the town ships instead of holding the money un til we got the road in operation. As a result the road never got further than being partly graded. We are not ask ing that the corporate existence of these townships be destroyed so that the hoklers of the bonds may not be en abled to colleet their debt, but we got a compromise with the holders of the bonds and are paying the debt. That U what these townships in Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens and Saluda should 'do and next time not be so ready to vote an isse of bonds for a railroad until they have sufficient security that the.rod win be bult. We donot think the adoption of this amendment a good t to entghlih and theref*re we -%Sir-e it should not be adopted. We agree , with the Baptist C6urier and the other' newspapers which hold therposition that it is uther indecent tobrbee -tghe 'office 2now held by Chief Justice EclIer while he lingers upon abed of illnoss.'3t would be mare -i keeping with the ethics of a high asud honored pintaasian to wait not showprprrsettthland anddisinninadgentleman' who has honored the bench of this State by long and faithful service and who in other espacities was always true to his State 5 ->'.ad his people. The office of -chief justice of the ureme court is one vfiich should seek the man best fitted by chargeter, and training andi intellectuality and legal ability to fill the position and should -mot be awarded ->r political service nor plneed within the r~each of the politician er the chronic office seeker. It is a po inn wiceh should be filled by the very best legal ability-in the State, and the Legislature should be able to find this taen when there is a vacancy without -. thea- ofboosting in the newspapers beforeis a vacancy to be filled. It is a duty every Democrat owes to#his State to go to the polls next Tuesday and cast his ballot for the nominee of his party. To support the 7 nominees of the party was a part of the pledge you took when you voted in the jirimary. The way to put that * pledge inforce is togoto the polls C next Tuesday and voteth full ticket. There is no .danger of defeat to any nominee but it should not be forgotten that a republican has been nominsted for Congress in each District in the State. It is no doubt the nomination if made and the race run for the pur pose of a contest and to keep in line of patronage. So much more the reason why the Democrats should east a full vote. In this district Wyatt Aiken, of - Abbevi11e, is the Democratic nominee and John Scott of Newberry is the - nominee of the Republicans. Let every Democrat do his duty by going to the polls and fulfilling the pledge which he made in the primary. There is no * opposition to the State and county - tickets but you should vote for the Democratle nominees for these offices also. The special term of court has been engaged all past week in the trial of damage suits against the Southern Railway. The railroad has gotten a verdict in one case and a; mistrial in another. There are several more cases Nto betried this week. With the many special courts we be * lieve it would be economy to establish two additional judicial circuits and elect two more circuit judges. Then it would help to a more speedy termination of suits in court. Mr. Barnard B. Evans, who was put on trial in Columbia last week charged with the- murder of Mr. Griffin in his room about two years ago, was ac quitted on Saturday afternoon. We are glad to see so many of our newspapers advocating compulsory education. It, like child labor legisla tion, is coming. It cannot come too SOOn. A U PULSO Y EDUCATION. T- J W. 4ppoxeo Such a Law and Brinag Additinsi ArguM Dt-. Dur editor thinks that the poor peo ple need more education, while we think that they need more money and more moral training. We believe that Editor Aull is sincere in his way of thinking on compulsory education, and we appreciate the fact that he is a very smart man, and also a very polished writer, but a man can be ever so smart and sincere and yet be wrong. It is:. the smart men we need to fear when. they get wrong, for they are the only ones who are able to do very much harm. I am not going to continue this discussion so that it will become weari some to the mind of the reader; but if you will bear with me I will present a few more practical thoughts and truths which I know are not at all popular in' the minds of a few of our professors and teachers. But it matters very little to us what is counted popular or! unpopular since we feel that we are representing the right, just and honest side of the question. The editor says that no one suggested that there would be any increase of the amount of school tax, or that it would be advisable to lengthen the school term, and such an idea has been a wrong impression made on my mind. We take the word compulsion for just what it's worth, and the word simply means force applied. Then that certainly means for all the children to go to school. The editor doesn't say at what age or how long. To illustrate this point we will take our own school. Suppose Union Academy is running a six month's school, has 33 pupils in regular attendance-this is about as much as one teacher can do justice to, is it not? But here comes your other two-fifths, which you say I have failed to iccount for that the law says must 'go. This will increase the number of scholars to 55, will it not? Then this will certainly necessitate another teach er. Now please tell me how you can run the school six months and pay both teachers with the same money without reducing their salary. So we can all readily see, who want to see, that a compulsory education law will either reduce the school term or call for more money. Why, you just as wei say that I could cultivate 55 acres of land with one mule as easily as 33 as to say one teacher can tach 55 pupils as well as heor she can teach 33. But the editor skys compulsory education will not affect those three-fifths w1i are trying to do all they can to school their children. Then the editor would cer tainly have class legislation. .I think I have clearly shown that to compel all the children to attend school -rould necessitate more' teachers, and this. would certainly call for more money, which would be compelled to affect The whole people. . I asked a good country woman a little more than a year ago, who had five or six children that I thought ought to be going to school, why she was not sending them. Thei poor woman replied that they were not able to buy them the kind of books and clothes they needed.' Now these were hard working people and they could not help their misfortunes, and you can fnd thousands of othernsimillarcaeal over the State. These, my dear editor, are a part of those two-fifths which you say I failed to account for. It is a mighty hard matter for a man who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to enter into the right kind of feeling of sympathy with the poor and needy. He is like the man who always enjoys good health: he cannot sympathize with the sick. Dear people, we regard this as a dangerous piece of legislation. You can legislate money out of a man's pocket, he will grumble, but will go on and payit just the same; but you go into his household and take away from him the only God given right that he has, tell him that he is not capable of taking care of his children, that they must go to school regardless of what their condition may be; whenever the law takes this authority, mark what I say, you will not.-find one man out of five hundred that will submit to it. If you are going into this thing for the aral good of the people, let us not oAly legislate for the_intellectual part of man, but also for the interest of his dear soul, which is more precious than all. Make a compulsory church and Sunday School law. Make drunkenness and all other vices a crime. If one will work, why not both? More than this, Mr. Editor, it is almost an impossibility to enforce a compulsory education law. It would require at least one com missioner in each school district to look after the matter, and these men, like liquor constables, would have to be paid, and when you find a violator of the law, what are you going to do with him? Put him on the chaingang because he is not able to buy his children just such clothes and books as would be necessary for them to have? Stop and think be fore it is too late. In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let us look after the building of good roads and let the parents man age their own domestic affairs. We are getting along nicely on the educa tional line. A man told me just a little more than a week ago, who had moved 1 here from a State that had compulsory education, that our school system was far better than it was in his State. You have some splendid ideas on road building. Let us have them. T.J. W. October 22, 1902. r NOTICE.
