I find so much of goodness still;
In men whom men pronounce divine,
I find so much of sin and blot?
I hesitate to draw the line
Between the two?where God has not."
THURSDAY. FEB. 5. 1914.
- Of all the bills presented, that of
the malignant mosquito is perhaps
the most expensive.
Every little while the festive mosquito
pokes us a gentle reminder
that "he is not dead, but sleepeth."
Misinformation is worse than lack
of knowledge; it is, in fact, the
worst form of ignorance. There
fore, we ask our friends, who so
kindly and generously aid us to fill
these columns, to he sure you're
right before you write.
It was Patrick Henry, we believe,
who asked the eloquent question:
"Is it. the part of wise men to shut
their eyes against a painful truth
and listen to the song of the siren
until she transforms them into
beasts?" We think not, and we
are proud to see that the majority
of our legislators are taking no
chances in dealing with this vital
social problem of white women
teaching negroes.
Representative C T Wiche, of
Newberry county, discussing the
bill to prohibit white teachers from
teaching negroes, said that it is "a
mighty sorry white man" who
feajps social equality in South Carolina."
Well, we are frank to say
that we l>elieve that is the problem
that our far-seeing statesmen have
to deal with, and it will lie a
"mighty sorry white man" who
finds out that the mischief has
been done while he was asleep,
dreaming of "Anglo-Saxon supremacy"
and race purity.
As we understand it, when the
bill prohibiting white teachers to
teach in negro schools in this State
came up in the House of Representatives
Tuesday of last week,the Williamsburg
delegation (Mr Kellahan
Wing absent) voted to postpone the
bill indefinitely,which means practically
to kill it. We confess that we
I
are somewhat surprised at this vote, j
as we do not believe that it reflects j
the sentiment of the voters of
Williamsburg county to have white
teachers teach in negro schools,
or negro teachers teach in white
schools.
The Fortner bill prohibiting
white teachers from teaching in
negro schools, or negro teachers in
white schools, came up for consideration
in the House of Represent
atives Tuesday morning of last week. [
After a heated discussion the bill was |
passed to third reading, after being |
amended to make the same penalty
applicable to "the intimacy of races
in houses of ill repute." The bill
passed to third reading by a vote of
fifty-nine to thirty-eight, which is
as it should be, in our opinion;
only it puzzles us to know why there
were in the State Legislature thirtyeight
men willing to see white
women teach in negro schools, a
condition that we honestly believe
is deprecated by the majority of the
right thinking people of both races.
A HORRIBLE STORY.

Unnatural Parents Charged With
Murder ol Baby Girl.
Spartanburg, February 3:?Charg|
ed with murder, the alleged parents
i of a girl baby, whose dead body
was found in a mill pond Saturday,:
were arrested this afternoon; ihe
woman in Spartanburg, as she was
was about to take a train for Charleston;
the man at Chesnee, S C, as
he was preparing to leave for San
Francisco. He is Clyde Caldwell
Clement, twenty-three years of age,
until recently a student at Wofford
College Fitting School. She is Miss
Fleta Pendleton, aged nineteen, until
recently a student in a local business
school.
Miss Pendleton was identified as
the mother of the baby by Mrs W
M Hodges of Greenville. When
I Mrs Hodges was taken to see her,
Miss Pendleton is said to have burst
into tears, and exclaimed, "Oh,
God, why did I kill that (Jear little
baby?"
Miss Pendleton collapsed. When
she had partly regained her com;
posure she said Clement dropped
the baby Friday night from a bridge
into the creek which forms the mill
pond. She said she did not want to
lose the baby, but that Clement told
her he did not love "the d--d brat,"
and he would not marry her unless
she would consent to his doing away
with it.
Weeping piteously in the jail tonight,
Miss Pendleton begged to see
the baby, and the corpse was carried
to her to fondle.
Miss Pendleton said she gave birth
to the baby, named Virginia, at the
Presbyterian Hospital at Charlotte,
N C.December 6. Clement then took
her to Greenville and got a ro^m
for her at the boarding house of
Mrs Hodges.

Hugh McColIum, Sr, Dead.
Blenheim, February 2: ? Hugh
McColIum, Sr, one of the best men
in this section of the State, died at
his home near here last night, after
a brief illness with paralysis, from
which he never rallied. Mr McColIum
was a Confederate soldier in
the loftiest meaning of the term.
He was a prosperous planter, a
gentle, devoted husband and father,
a warm and helpful friend, a modest
and loyal Christian gentleman.
He was a member of the Methodist
church at Parnassus, probably
the oldest of all the membership.
He was 78 years of age. His wife
and six children survive him.
The funeral was held yesterday at
Parnassus church, in the presence of
one of the" largest concourses oi
people ever gathered here, Rer J S
Beasley, assisted by Rev Messrs J J
Douglas and J G Richards, of the
Presbyterian church, officiating. Mr
Beasley paid a tender tribute to the
dead man's character, speaking of
him as a model Christian, citizen,
husband, father and friend.
Stoll for Congress.
In Monday's News and Courier
appeared the following special dispatch
from Manning:
While attending court here last
week, Solicitor P H Stoll, of Kingstree,
was asked if it wA correct,
as rumored, that he would be a
candidate for Congress from his
district this year. He replied that
while he had the matter under consideration,
he had not yet decided
what course he would pursue. He
said he had been urged by a number
of his friends to enter the race,
and had been promised such cordial
support that he was seriously thinking
about it, but was not yet prepared
to make any announcement.
While Solicitor Stoll does not live
in the Congressional district in
which Clarendon county is situated,
yet from his long service as Solicitor
in the Third circuit he has many
friends here who feel an interest in
any political aspirations that he
mitrht have.

TERRIBLE DISASTER AT SEA.
Forty-one Lives Lost When
Steamships Crash Together.
Norfolk, Va, January 30:?The j
story of how forty-one soulg went i
down to death in the chill waters of j
the Atlantic when the liner Nan- j
tucket rammed and sank the steamer
Monroe early today was brought to
port tonight by eighty-five survivors
of the sunken ship's passengers,
rescued and brought to shore by the
Nantucket. It was a story of awful j
and sudden death, sweeping out of
the dark fog, and taking unawares
I the doomed half hundred with the
heaviness of sleep still upon them.
It told how the stricken Monroe,
with her side gored deep by the
knife-like steel prow of the NanI
tucket, filled rapidly, rolled over on
1 her side, and in a few minutes turn|
ed completely over and plunged to
j the bottom, carrying with her the
! ill-fated passengers and members of
1 the nrpw who had failed to eret clear
j of the wreck.
. Tonight the revised lists, prepared
by Capt Johnson, who survived the
sunken vessel, showed 19 passengers
anti 22 of the crew lost?a total of
41; and 39 passengers and 60 of the
crew saved?a total of 99.
Under the thick band of fog that
hid the heavily running sea, both
big ships were making their way
slowly and with difficulty in the
early morning. The Monroe, with
Capt Johnson on the bridge and a
double lookout peering into the fog
ahead, was edging under half speed
to the northward, leaving Norfolk
for New York last evening
with a nerve-racking, fog-bound
mMAnnA/kf Tka Moni nnlrflf
\vyage iu piuapcti.. auc nuuiu^.w,
heavily laden with freight and with
but two passengers aboard, was
nosing her wav southward, bound
from Boston to Norfolk. Urged
through the dripping fog, the two
vessels slowly were drawn toward
each other.
The crash came about 1:40 o'clock
without warning.
Out of the gray-black fog that
shut out even the waves from view
the gleam of the Nantucket's searchlight
scarcely touched the dripping
side of the Monroe before the high
steel prow of the south ward-bound
vessel cut into her side with a ripping
and crashing of plates that
threw the stricken ship aback. The
Nantucket, with her bow crushed
in, backed out of sight into the
fog, as Capt Johnson, seeing that
his vessel was fatally stricken, shouted
an order for the lifeboats.
