i Compulsory Education.
' _
The question ??f compulsory education,
albeit it lias been put
to sleep for a year by Coventor
& Blease's veto, is, as its advocates
are fond of Insisting, by no means
a dead issue. The House of Hep-!
" resentatives passed the so-called i
P"
V* local option bill overwhelmingly
and even pressed the measure
over the veto of the (iovernor. I
(Williamsburg county's delegation
in the House voted for the bill,
while Senator Epps made a gallant
fight opposing it.
t We congratulate Senator Epps
(upon the splendid speech he made
against this mischief-breeding piece
of legislation. He had but little
^ grounds to base his opposition
- upon, for the strongest argument
we have heart! in favor of the
bill is that it was so framed that
f it "could do no harm." \ veri
*
table sop to Cerberus, it seems.
* From certain quarters came a
howl for "compulsory education"
and the legislators, suspecting
that the woolly creature that they
were asked to turn loose upon
their innocent and unsuspecting
constituents might have sharp
claws concealed 'neath the velvet
exterior, explain that they voted
for this monstrosity to be let
loose upon society, but that they
took care to extract its fangs.
A logical argument, forsooth.
Let us get down to stubborn
f
facts. Already a large portion of
f the public school funds is heing
applied to the education of negroes.
The most of the revenue
on which our public school system
is dependent comes out of
the pockets of the white taxpayers.
While we are opposed to
the education of the negro, we
have no object ion, as a matter of
? simple justice, to his getting his
i ? share
of the taxes paid fur school
f purposes. What we object to is
the white man's money going to
educate negro children and under
a compulsory law we cannot see
.how?a greater subsidy than eve r
for the education of the ' brother
in black'' can be avoided.
They tell us that all the ne
groes who f can possibly attend
school are already going. We are
skeptical as to the truth of this
statement, 7')Ut, assuming that it
be true, wliv pas* a law to fur-(
i
nisli them with text books and,
pos-ibly, elothe> and food.
<>1,, Nut they say it will force
many white children into the
? i-__.nl
school-, who ;iro now doing ;uij
kinds of work. Will it? Wc|
think not. When it comes to!
interfering with parental govern-1
nicnt m? far a- to pi# the father
and mother on the chain- i
gang utiles- they send their ehil-i
dreii, who are needed at home.!
to school, who will dare to en-j
force such a law?
r
The inost ardent advocate- ofj
the law ti-ll you-ignitieatly: "i >h,
you know, these things will U
so managed that no hardship will
l?e worked on a ii'luft family."
In other words, the white children
are not to he forced to do
what they object to doing, and
yet the law is to compel parents
to send their children to
c?111bol \ow_ then, if the negroes
are all voluntarily sending they;
children to school, and the law
does not coin|H*l the whites to
send their children, what, in the
heaven's name, is the use to burden
the statute hooks with such
a farcical measure? Already we
havt?if we are not mistaken?
a law to fly the State tlau over
every public building and every
school-house in South Carolina.
How many such buildings do we
see Hying the State Hag? The
statute hooks are already crowded
" i?h tln'itrefieil nnd nonradical
laws, why Immien thorn further?
If a compulsory law wore passed
it would necessarily include
free text books. and even clothing
and actual subsistence for the
pupil, if it could he proven that
the parents whose child was taken
from them were unahle to provide
I HK)k>, or even the necessaries
of life, and the law would apply
to black and white alike, or it

Should r?ucli a law bo enacted,
l>etter it ho a failure; but, bettor
still, let it never l>e enacted.
We believe in gitfcig honor
where honor is due. Through the
kindness of several friends we
have been to drive over several
of the roads leading out from and
into town and improvement is*visible
on every roa<b Mr Eaddy
is the right man in the right
place and we think he will give
us good roads as far as possible j
within hisl limitations. But the
county should furnish Mr Eaddy
a first-class automobile find pay
to keep it up, in order that "he
may I constitute himself a sort of
"Hying squadron," ln?ing everywhere
at once without having to
expend his entire salary in transportation
expenses. If the ways
and means l>e forthcoming, we
lwdiovp! John M Eaddv will be
las nearly ubiquitous as any man
in Williamsburg or even Florence
county.
With this issue we begin Volume
XXVII of The County Record.
This means that the paper
has weathered the storms of
twenty-six years and is now "going
on" twenty-seven years old.
The present editor has been at
the helm for fifteen years, the
greater part of the life Jof the
paper. We most earnestly and
sincerely thank our patrons for
their liberal support, sympathy
and tolerance with our shortcomings
and promise them in
the future to do as wej have
done in the past?our best. No
man can- do more.
I
Court of Common Pleas.
The spring term of the court of
common pleas convened here Monday
morning with Judge Ernest Gary
presiding and Court Stenographer
L E Wood at his usuai post.
There were 1J4 cases on the calendar
for consideration and disposal.
A large majority of these, however,
rases at. ] have hern con
tinued for several years and will,
like a number of others, be finally
stricken from the court calendars
without trial.
On the jury calendar there were
:U cases, only two of which were
brought fo trial, viz: The John F Hiley
Foundry & Machine Works vs
Mr 1' 1) Th":n, suit on account, and
Mr N X XewHI vs Mr X M Venters.suu
lor damages. The plaintiff
in the iirst named case was awarded
a verdict,while the latter was a mistrial,
the jury, after being out several
hours, failing to agree. Eiprhteen
other jury cases were disposed
of without trial.either through compromise
or non-suit, while eleven
were marked "continued" on the
calendar.
Court adjourned Monday night
about 9:30 for the term.
Items from Hebron.
Hebron, March 11:?Owing to the
heavy rainfall the tilling of the soil
has been at a standstill for the past
week in this community. Very few
people of this section have planted
beans yet. Efforts are being made
to get this crop planted as early as
possible. )
All who are planting tobacco have
about finished cutting wood to cure
it. We hope that we shall all make a
good crop of the "weed" and get
good prices for it.
Mrs Sarah A DuBose. of our community,
who has been very ill for
some time, is again able to be up.
We hope that she will continue to
improve. Her sister,Mrs Roberson,
of Horry county, is still with her.
We are very proud or our new ]
school building. Our board of trustees,
with the aid of Mr Bartow
Smith and the hearty co-operation
of some of the patrons, have given
us an elegant new school house, for
which we are very grateful. All the
patrons were invited by the trustees
to meet at the new school house
on February 24. A number accepted
and when all were gathered in the
school room with their teachers,
Misses Ola McElveen and Olive
Smith, the former lady in a fewwords
expressed her gratification for
the privilege of meeting together on
this occasion. She asked Rev James
Gibbons to lead in prayer. After
prayer was offered she inquired if
anyone wished to say anything, and
Rev Mr Gibbons then spoke of his
being grateful for the occasion and
then to the children he directed his
remarks, which wereN apt and inA

of our Heavenly Father will be upon
teachers and children and that it
may be the best term of school that
has even been taught at Hebron.
We had a pleasant quarterly conference
at Hebron last Saturday and
Sunday, March S-9. The presiding
elder preached a fine sermon both
days. The pastor,Rev J L Mullinix,
was not present at the service on
Saturday, being called to Darlington
to one of his daughters, who was
sick, but we were glad to see him in
time for the conference,and are a so
glad that his daughter is better. A
number of the good Bethel folk
u;prp in our consecration Sunday,
and all were pleased to see them.
Mr Hartman Gamble and Dr ?
Gamble of Turbeville attended service

Mr J B Wallace's family are all
better from an attack of smallpox,
we are gratified to note.
