I have just learned late this afternoon that there is a report in circulation in the lower section of the ! county that I am opposed to education. How such a report should have originated I am at a loss to know. That I should oppose education is preposterous and my whole life-disproves such an accusation. If there is any man in our county who does believe in education, 1 am that ! man. I believe that every child in our county should be given the opportunity of at least a common school education. All cannot go to college, but our schools should prenare everv child to meet the require-! merits for college entrance. Do they do this? So far as inv observation I goes, many of them do not. Just what we need to meet this condition 'I am unable to say. It appears to j me that our text-books are too often changed -before the child has masI tered them. Why? Often, when an I applicant from our high schools enters college he or she is conditioned on many studies. Why? Should our colleges do high school work? I , think not. Does every parent get . value received for the taxes which ; he pays for the education of his children? I shall let them answer. To my mind we are having too . many innovations in our schools that ; are wholly unnecessary. Let us get | back to the essentials of an education and leave the non-essentials , alone. When the old Webster "blue back speller" was used we did not have so many frills and froth, but ? we had that which was of more im. portance?a solid foundation upon which to build. r No. my friends; I am not opposed to education. I think that every child should be given a chance and that his mental faculties should be de veloped in order that he or she may make the man or woman which fiod I intended them to be. 1 have given this subject much i thought. That our present system . needs mending, I think none will de; ny. Just hov\ this can be done, I am unable to say. At present I have no nlun to offer. i There is much more that I could say on this subject, but i think I L have pointed out some few defects . in our present system that almost every parent has met in one way or r another. There are others. My friends, let us keep what we have, 5 but let's improve it. It can De done, t Respectfully yours, S A Graham. Gourdin, August 30. lard of Thauks. To the Voters of Williamsburg County: ? I take this means of expressing to you my appreciation of the handsome vote given me in the first primary and to assure you that your support in the second primary will be greatly appreciated. I hereby pledge myself, if elected, to endeavor to give annually an equal amount of work to each township and to give my entire time and attention to the discharge of the du ties of the office. I want to be Road Engineer of Williamsburg county, because as such there is a great work to be done for the good of the county,and 1 feel that it will be an honor to me and my name to devote a part of my life to this work, that, through the j coming years, will mean so much to 1 J the county. Yours truly, W 0 Camlix.
