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.
Where a superabundance of work
v *ii ? I . .. -1 H.w* mvin
offers, eacii luier is u mug
J ixxCiwtry whether in town or
country. It is an infallible truth
that some working man pays for
* - everv loafer's idleness.

-With -day )alx>rers and farm
bands at a premium hrawnv negroes
loaf on side-walks, hang

is offered a job at less than a Congressman's
salary ten to one he

scorn.
A correspondent asks what i?
the longest word in the English
language. Our new International

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT !
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.
