There is room and a plenty of it here for industrious, law' abiding negroes, hut the idle, shiftless vagabond class should lie xniade t<? move on. The vagrant is a potential criminal, as an idle brain is the devil's work-shop. Ciive the loafer the opportunity of a job. If he won't have it, then find work for him.

Only by y the coolness and prompt action of | , officers and men was a second exw plosion prevented and further disaster averted. h< Five negroes killed and two fatally ^ ( wounded was the consequence of re- gj sisting an officer who had attempted y( t) arrest a negro while at work in js his field, near Elliott, Miss. Deputy ce Sheriff Sid Caulev had pressed into service two citizens to aid in the ar rest of Henry Beck, who had previ- ^ t o lsly bluffed off a constable.

Two other ne- ^ groes escaped the mob's vengeance o lly by the pleadings of the sheriff, f, s who had them in jail, and a show of ,] armed resistance. 0 It is estimated that there are now s 20,000 telephones in use in aoutn j Carolina. n 11; 11 The railroads entering Camden i1 ^ have agreed to build a union depot to accommodate the growing traffic, t ..!

PLACE-WHENCE--WHAT { ? CONSTITUTES FITNESS. -?-?-?? ? In our recent paper we considered le present educational awakening id the worthy response of the peoe?the enthusiasm,the high rate of >ecial tax and the adequate school lildings erected. The principle iat the State must now aid in a eater way those that are noja slping themselves was advanced,, id that the duty of making this ovision shall be that of the next ;gislature? was considered. There is not one large school in e county that does not face a woI lack of funds. Those which have ted the highest tax aie- in as great eH as anv other. A truitee of one I our more jxominent high schools cently stated1 that his school must .ve more mo?ey?the patrons had ne all in their power and still ?fe was need- And yet this man is not baffled?he was determined at the school should not suffer?he >uld first borrow monev as-long as ere was credit ere the high standd of the school should go hack, ere is a proper spirit and a. proper ith. Coming generations are deeding upon u&? shall they suffer? en of this type are needed- Such en in our Legislature would mean at this State would invest more oney in the making of citizens and ir high schools would not suffer for :k of funds. The State should appropriate dou e^the amount of money now given aid high schools, and in two ars time double the amcvuat again, matters little to the thinking man here this money comes from ? the ;ed is too great and too urgent to ?sitate and quarrel over small matrs. A very small increase in the ate levy would provide amply? it there may be another way. It j evident that Clemson College re-! ives more money from the fertili-j r tax than the college uses advan-1 igeously. If $150,000 will sustain! lis college, why squander $100,000! mre simply because the farmer' ays it willingly-though he be laoring under a delusion. Why not evote this money to the high school, le people's college, where it is eeded infinitely more than Clemson ollege needs it? However the case, lemson College should be given a efinite amount of money and the alance from the tax can be spent rhere needed. A boy squanders lore when his father fills his pocket 3 overflowing with dollars whose alue he knows not?just so a co';ge becomes a profligate under the nsguided benefactions from the p: ental State. More money from the State for ur high schools, especially the rural chools, is our conclusion, let the Representative in his wisdom deternine the source and method of deration. Fitness for the position determines he employer's final action. I have een masculine members of the ge \u$ homo who were fitted for beoming men and yet they were not fitly spoken. So there are men itted for becoming law-makers and et they would not decorate the lalls of Legislature with fitness. The erm is exacting?we demand that ur law-maker be honest, there is no dace for further corruption in our Itate; he shall be law-abiding; no nan should be trusted to make a law until he has proven his willingness to obey our laws, his proper respect for law will direct him .from extremes that are harmful in thai these nurture contempt for honest law; he shall be a successful man, ir whatever vocation there must be results that count for good; he shall be a man who "does things"?a man wnu carries uui mis pians regardless of disappointment or unjust criticism; an idle, purposeless man brings contempt on the race; he shall be a leader, and he shall know how to follow, these 'two are essential?every leader must sometimes follow; he shall be alert, j watchful of the enemy, ev^>^<tje guard; he shall be clean,} right: and withal he clear knowledge of the in an. sues demanding considerat. Nand his power and spirit shall be consecrated and concentrated upon these. In the coming session of the Legislature educational matters will be paramount. A committee of prominent men has in charge a revision of the school laws. The report of this committee shall be studied carefully and closely. Our law-makere shall see that the graded school, the high school and especially the rural school shall be given full and sufficient appropriations from the State funds. Thus he shall be fitted.
