I The Galled Jade Winces.
Haviug failed signally in its
attempt to show up South Carolina
to a disadvantage in comf
" t ^
j art so n with Counectic.it, or to
refute a single point of our argument
against compulsory education,
the Columbia State attempts
to cover its retrograde
movement by a volley of cheap
sarcasm aud coarse abuse. In fact,
:
The State appears to be very
much disgruntled and in its choleric
state is scarcely responsible
for its utterances. For instance,
in one paragraph it compares us
to the Colossos (Colossus?) of
Rhodes, while in another it de1
clares us too small to be worthy
of its distinguished notice. ,
Following the Colossus meta- ,
phor occurs this bright get-off: ,
"How delightful it must be to
i ~ ' *
have really gigantic statue."' (
Now, we would like for The State |
to explaiu its meaning?what or
whose status it refers to; or in its
tine frenzy did it drop its "r" as
well as its mautiers? I
No, dear contemporary, we are I
h ' t>y no manner of means hanker- ?
ing after "publicity'' of the 1
State's brand, nor in fact anyiJiinr
fhftf 'I he State has nower!
to bestow. For some time it has J
been our inteution to ' discuss ,
through these columns the subject (
of compulsory educatiou aud to
endeavor to point out its fallacies, ]
and The State simply gave us 1
an opportunity to set the ball *
lolling. In case we were in error
us to any assertion, statistics
or argument adduced we honestly
desired to be set straight, but up ^
to this time- nothing we said has ]
* been controverted. j
Now, in our explanation of the I
origin of the movement for com- 1
pulsorv education, we made no
claim to "discovery,"' but cited as our
authority The Manufacturers' 1
*
Record, of Baltimore. But The
State savs that the movemeut
J
grew out of the fact that in 1S98,
during the Spanish-American war,
it was observed that white enlist-1:
ed men had to make their marks;'
on pay day.
Now, reading between the lines, I
we infer that Tne State ta?es
credit unto itself for originating the;
glorious propaganda of compul-!
sion in South Carolina. Well,;'
we arc quite willing for it to i
! 1
lay that flattering motion to its <
soul atul appropriate any honor
it can extract from the further- j
ance of its pet measure. , i
Its version, however, differs I \
widely from that of the Matiu- i
facturers' Record, which for ma- j
ny years has made a special study jj
of conditions in the South. As'(
to whicti is the better authority
one ia piivileged to take his
choice.
The Question of Bonds.
In another column will be seen |
the notice of the trustees of Kingstree
school district that an election i
will be held here next Tuesday
(June 23) on the question of issuing
bonds iii the sum of $10,000 to enlarge
the school building. While (
we lure little doubt that the vote j
will be atirmative, yet we would I
urge upon the citizens of the town (
<
not to take this for granted, but to <
come out and vote. Tiien, again, if ! r
if a large vote be cast aud the bond '
issue be decided on by a big major-1 ^
ity, it will iiieau a saving ef several <
hundied dollars in the way of inter- '
est in placing the bonds. *
As we understand it, the proposed *
bond issue will cover a period of '
twenty years, and all the town will >
have to pay is the interest and a
small sum annually to create a <
linking fund for retiring the bonds J
at maturity. It is therefore obvious |
that the lower the rate of interest
in placing the bonds,the lighter will t
be the burden upon the town. \
As to the necessity of this additional
building, no one acquainted
with the conditions can deny that
more room is needed. It is the best
evidence possible of the school's
prosperity, and we hope that in a
few years accommodation will be
needed for five hundred pupils.
===== j
It is one of the severest tests (
i
of friendship to tell your frifend j
of his faults. If you are angry *
with a man, or hate him, it is ?
not hard to go to him and stab (
with words; but to so love a man ^
that you cannot bear to see the
stain of sin upon him, and to (
speak harmful truth through lov- i
ing words?that is friendship, j
But few have such friends. Our *
?nemies teach us what we are at S
the point of the 'sword. >

IXD I ANTOWN, June 17'?In cer:aiu
sections of this community there J
have beeu very heavy rains and hail g
storms but the crops look flourishng
and the fanners are* looking forward
to a great future. t]
Among those who visited the ever
popular Indian tow u Sunday were:
Mrs James Munnerlyn, Messrs H I)
Vlunnerlyn and Rob Snowden of
2 hop pee and G H Lovett of Rhems.
Mr and Mrs D M Ervin of
Evingstree were guests of Mrs G
W Ervin several days last week. Mr
md Mrs Ervin's many friends are
ilways glad to see them back at
Indian town.
The A. C. Lumber Co. is certain
Iv raising "Caiu" on their new rail- I.
( )
road now, which runs three or four ^
miles below Church P. O. They I;
ire blowing up stumps, and some- ~
times one can almost imagine it's a S
thunder storm. .j.
There is to be a basket picnic at
Indiantown church on next Satur- C
day, June 22. The public is cordially
invited. ^
Married?at Camden, S. C., June!
it, 1907, Mr Samuel James Erviu to &
Miss Effie B Rose. Mrs Ervin is ^
welcomed back to Indiantown, as she s
spent last winter here and madej
many friends.
