This act prohibits the importatior of diseased live stock into the State of South Carolina. Snch a law be came necessary owing to the passag* of similar laws by other States anc unless t^iis protection had been af forded, this State would soon becomi a dumping ground for diseased stocl from other States.

Swearingen Reiterates For mer Statement to Tbat Effect. State Superintendent of Education Swearingen has returned from the Atlanta meeting of the conference for education in the South much pleased with his experience at that gathering. "Did anything you saw or heard cause any change of heart in your at(titude against compulsory education so far as this State is concerned?'' he i was asked. "Not ia the slightest," was the I quick response. "I have always fa' vored any system that will mean the spread of education, so far as that is [concerned, but I don't believe in hypocrisy any more in education than ; in religion, and as I see them, condi[ tions in this State do not call yet for a general compulsory educational \ law, as any such'law would be a farce. 1 see no good in passing paper laws. In this connection I was interested while out on this trip in studying the workings of cbmpulsory education laws of other States. Some of them are howling farces."' As $as stated in the Record recently,Mr Swearingen is an advocate of local option in tne matter of com Ipulsory education, that is, of a law which would allow those communi, ties in conditioner compulsory education'to institute the system and j manage it locally.?Columbia Record The Progressive Farmer.
