Tyler preached an | excellent sermon last Sunday on the ' subject of Education. He made a strong appeal for the support of the denominational schools. But he struck a popular cord when he began to discuss the needs 11 of Chesterfield's High School. It is to be hoped that he will continue to ' call attention to these needs, backed f ' by the other ministers and people interested in the proper education of the children, until the almost intol erable conditions are remedied. The recent opening exercises of the school were conducted in a neighboring church because there was nc room for them in the school building. 1 There are nine teachers and foui I regulation class-rooms. Before the ' end of this term there will be more than 300 pupils in attendance at this school. There are adequate accommodations for probnbly half that ; number. Efficient work on the part of the teachers and pupils is impossible under such circumstances. ? For the past ten years the atten d^nce at the school has been steadilj growing, but we are informed that nothing has been done to meet this : growth in the way of enlarged ac i commodations. THE WINYHROP SCHOLARSHIP In another column we quote fron The Cheraw Chronicle the story ol how Chesterfield lost the Winthroj scholarship this year to an Orange t burg County girl. It would seem that the blame lies principally with the officials of Winthrop College, who first passed upor the examination papers of the con testants and then refused to enter tain the complaint that the youn* lady in question was not educated ir Chesterfield County, had only re sided in the county a few weeks anc left, presumably for her home county Orangeburg. We do not begrudge Miss llouser s scholarship at Winthrop. She is doubtless a worthy student and ambitious, but we do say that she ougni to have tried for this scholarship ir the county in which she was educates and was making her home. We heartily commend Superintendent Rouse and Mr. Swearingen foi tne stand taken by them in this matter and only regret that they have nc authority to safeguard the count} scholarships, though they are parti} paid for by tax money, Chesterfield paying its pro rata share. There is one phase of this questior ' >ught to occasion serious u t. The word "citizenship" is , ft y used in these discussions. 11 is said and repeated that she had no1 _ established a "citizenship" in Chester field County. Now what we want tc know is how could she establish n citizenship in this or any othei county? So far as we have been ablt to learn "citizenship" does not appl} to women at all. Only men are "citizens," if we are not mistaken. WornI en are only women. Apparently ouj 'k wise lawmakers have not thought il I worth while to take note of women ^ when prescribing the length of time i a residence is required iri order to esi tablish a citizenship. I We fail to see that the question ol ' citizenship can enter this discussion I because we are not talking about citi ? zens but women. But this does not release the Win1 throp authorities from the obligation of admitting on the scholarships only such contestants from a given county as mav reasonnhlv ? _ v.Mini vn??v tuuiiiy ( as their home. I PROGRESSING IN CHESTERFIELD "The State" has these kind words to say for Chesterfield: "Efforts to bring about, by the consolidation of rural schools in the sand hill region, the establishment of a high school in Chesterfield county, >0 which agriculture will be taught, shoilM hove encouragement and should be successful. Chestefield is a 'white man's county,' a county that for a long time was backward but in late years has made more rapid progress than most of the counties of South Carolina, I| contains gruat numbers of independent farmers whose holdings are smell and that is I the class of people above all others ; who contribute to staunch and enlightened citizenship ami prosperity. These farmers of Chesterfield are taking an eager interest in education-al movements and the establishment I of an agricultural school would mark* ; edly accelerate the progress that ttfey are making. The school would be a radiating point for intelligent endeavors in agriculture and with skilled tillage the lands of Chesterfield will j make one of the most productive regions of South Carolina. Just when we were waiting for a month with "R" in it so we could eat a few oysters, here comes Prof. ' Evans, in the State's Health Hints and says: "There is no question but that epidemics of typhoid fever have i been spread by raw oysters." 'I hut certainly puts us in a stew. By W. G. HoU. I am the plow, ( Master of Life.

' WHEN OFFICE SOUGHT THE MAN r t It happens sometimes that in poli5 tics poor men are discriminated . against because they are poor men. Then again demagogues, to gain their point, will discriminate against and abuse a candidate because he is rich. Some years ago in a Southern i State (not South Carolina) a very f worthy young man offered for Con Kress. The only thing that was or > could be brought against him was " that he was very wealthy. He did not attempt to tlse his money to cors rupt voters or to buy his way into office. His competitor, however, a poor man, made a virtue of his pov1 erty and though not as well qualified mentally as the other, was triumphantly elected. Of course we all deprecate riches 1 that are fraudulently used, but when " a man has acquired wealth honestly and uses it for the good of his fel lowmen, his wealth is not a stigma and he should receive as fair and gen1 erous treatment at the polls and else5 where as the poor man, who may be his rival. L These reflections were caused by ' noting in the press the nomination ' for mayor in Atlanta, Gn., of the richest man in that city, Mr. Asa Candler. The nomination was almost unanimous, Mr. Candler being brought as a candidate while he was ' absent from the State. ' Tho ..... . \ti mm man is remarkable. He was born on a farm near ' Atlanta. When a boy he went to Atlanta and got a job washing bottles 1 and rolling pills in a drug store at 5 $15 a month, sleeping in the rear of 5 the store and cooking his meals on ^ a little heating stove. About 25 L years ago he procured the formula for CocaCola, a temperance bever' age, foresaw its future possibilities 1 and exploited it; and it made him : rich. He is president of one of the ; foremost banks in Georgia. He has built and owns skyscraper buildings in the cities of Atlanta, New York and Chicago. He is president of a railroad in Alabama; head of " one of the greatest cotton warehouse 1 corporations in the South, a director ! in a street railway corporation, and is connected more or less intimately with half a hundred other big financial and industrial enterprises. 1 When it was proposed to build a " greut Southern University in Atlanta Asa Candler put a million dollars into it as a starter. 1 Is it any wonder that when Atlanta wanted a good business man for Mayor she selected Asa Candler? He had never asked for office. It was a case of the office seeking the man, and the office got a great and good man. WESTERN PROGRESSIVES The news comes from the West, where Hughes has been speaking, that leading Progressives are coming out for Woodrow Wilson. Hon. H. C. Hausbrough, of North Dakota, who served eighteen years in the United States Senate as a Republican, announces through the Democratic National Campaign Committee that he will support President Wilson for reelection and tn^te an active part in the cnmpaign. Garvin McNab, said to be the brainiest man in California, inde- ' pendent in politics, took little stock in Mr. Hughes' speeches. Here is one of his finest expressions: "A great philosopher said that | Faith is stronger than Reason, be* cause it acts. I "Wilson had faith in the people I ind acted. > "Hughes suggests nothing; occu- 1 ie.s the attitude of a political noga- 1 tive; assumes that the people will accept a man who objects to everything and proposes no remedies." If Hughes continues his tirades he will make the West unanimous?for . Wilson. , It certainly is stubborn of the cot- i ton market to keep right on going up i in the face of all Mr. Hughes' efforts < to remedy the "national exigency," which led him to give his consent to ' I leave the Supreme Court bench.? * Charleston Evening Post. Ml mil I MARSHALL'S SARCASM. C Vice-President Marshall is a live |i wire. His campaign speeches (to ji change the metaphor), are not only |! sprinkled with ginger, but with to- ij basco sauce that makes Mr. Hughes ] wince, for he hits him right in the ji eye. Here is a sample from one of i[ his recent speeches: <* "For three years or more, it has Ji been my fortune, or misfortune, to <[ hear the speeches made in the Senate. i The Republican candidate is now re- ]J peating these speeches in abbreviated 'J form from the stump. When the can- ij didate announced the infallibility of j? the protective tariff, I recognized the <, oft-expressed views of Senator Gal- ij linger. When he declared that we J? WPTO Hwpllintr in a fnnl'a nnro^iao I heard the echo of the voice of Reed ij Smoot. When he talked about Mexi- ]' co I could shut my eyes and see before me the figure 0f Senator Fall. ij When he condemned 'pork' in con- ]' nection with the Rivers and Harbors ? bills, I tasted in homeopathic doses c the speeches, weary hours long, of ? former Senator Burton, who was chairman of the House Committee on Rivers and Harbors for so many ? years that he well knew about the J 'pork' in the bills he had fathered. And when the candidate assaulted the civil service record of the administra- { tion, I realized that he had heard from the political purist, Boise Pen rose." 0 Penrose, it will be remembered, was a pupil and follower of Mark Hanna, and bought voters in Penn- ? sylvania like cattle. THE LEADERS ARE WORRIED According to The New York Times, ? George W. Perkins, Frank H. Hitch- * cock and Theodore Roosevelt met re cently to decide what could be done to put life into the candidacy of Mr. ? Charles E. Hughes. Testimony is cumulative that Mr. Hughes is injur ing the cause on the stump. J It was also said that the suggestion was made that Mr. Fairbanks be re tired and Mr. Roosevelt be put on as candidate for Vice-President. That would hardly suit Teddy. It would be putting the cart before the horse, in his opinion. But then Rosoevelt got to be President once by running for Vice. But Hughes looks pretty healthy and the prospect of actually serving for a full term in a subordinate position is not very attractive to His Bigness of Oyster Buy. Imagine him in the chair in the Senate with some Democrat scoring the G. O. P. Teddy would throw a lit if compelled to listen in silence. CHILD DIES OF HYDOPHOBIA FROM THE BITE OF A CAT U( Spartanburg, Sept. 24.?Haskell Hawkins, the 10 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
