THTTRUn AV NfVVRMRBP ~*> i ooo ~ ~ ASSOCIATION'S CONTRACTS MUST NOT BE VIOLATEl Columbia, Oct. 30.?Every mem ber of the South Carolina Cottoi Growers Cooperative Association whi sells cotton outside of the associatioi will be proceeded against in the court of the State and forced to pay liqui dated damages of 5 cents a poun< for every pound sold outside of th< association. The officials of th< association feel that there iB no al ternativc for them in this matter anc they are determinftd^to invoke everj provision of the law passed by th< General Assembly protecting the association from violations of the contract against every member who does violate it. Several members of the association have been reported for viblating the contract, probably six in all. Rigid investigations are being conducted in each case and if the association finds that the contract has been violated, proceeding will follow. Members of the association are almost unanimous in demanding that all violators of the contract be proceeded against. They declare that to permit anyone guilty of breaching the contract to escape would create a spirit of dissatisfaction among the members. "We propose to proceed without fear of favor against every man who does not live fully up to the contract". Says a statement by the association. "Thus far there have been only about Bix alleged violations of the contract. We are investigating cat j one of these carefully and will proceed in each case as the results of our investigation justifies. The members of the association may rest assured that no guilty will escape." SMOKING MAY HAVE KILLED THIS MAN Saskatoon, Sask., Oct. 28.?

Otherwise expressed, the 1 child had no school rights which the ? parent was bound under the law to S respect. But with the passing time, I and particulary with the founding and ' growth of our American Republic, ' a new conception arose. The noncompulsory school system gave place ( to a compulsary system, and now required school attendance is universi al among English-speaking peoples. ! The compulsory system was a long [ time spreading over the United States, but in 1918, when Mississippi passed 1 its first law on the subject, the system became universal in this country. Every state now requires that children attend school for some period of their lives and for all or a considerable part of the school term; and the tendancy is to extend attendance requirements until all children between 7 and 10 years of ape are in school throughout the term, or Until the work of the elementary grades is completed. Compulsory education has two fundamental purposes: First, lo insure the best possible citizenship in order that the state may thereby preserve itself; and, second, to enforce the educational riphts of the child. That the first of these is fundamental in a democracy is obvious. The second is fundamental because the ripht kind of opportunity is essential. The latter purpose is porbably even more < important than the former. Chil-i dren have a ripht to the best possible opportunity in life, and since this j comes in a larpe measure throuph education they have an indefeasible ripht to education. This principle is not so much recopnized in child-welfare laws as it should be. The compulsory attendance law of California has its caption. "An act to enforce the educational riphts of children aq^l providing penalities for The violation of the act"; in their conception of school attendance and child labor some other states might learn a lesson from the Golden State. Child-labor laws were oijiginally conceived for the protection of child life, but now we see that they also have a function in the enforcement of child riphts. They formerly "winked at" some occupations, such as work on the farm, probably because these were thought harmless. but now these occupations are coming under regulation, as are those in i.tores and factories. The reason for this newer conception is plain: Child labor on the farm is child labor nevertheless; it interferes with the education rights of the child. Presently we shall see clearly that it is no man's prerogative to exploit a child, even though it be his own, and that the right to education is inalienable?along with the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

WASHINGTON LETTER By Wallace Bassford Washington, I). C., Oct. 30?Next Tuesday the people will go to the polls and render a verdict on the Harding adminstration. This does net mean that it is merely to be an expression of the attitude of the people toward the easy-going Golf-Ployer of the | White House?rather it will be a ref- j | erendum on the acts and commissions of the President, his cabinet, hte Senate and the House. The campaign is ordinary in that it finds the Republicans with the usual a^iundent funds, supplied by" those who" have! nn av fn ?* ? *-? /4'' T?. ? ? ? - ** .... WW B>liiU . Ill H1B fuse oi the opposition, however, there is more than the usual scarcity of money, due probably to the fact that the plain people have less than usual to contribute. The result is that those speakers whom the Democrats have been able to send out have paid | their own expenses. Those speakers report the people everywhere as dissatisfied with conditions and the record of the adminstration. If dissatisfied ones take sufficient interest in the welfare of themselves and the country to go to the polls and register their dissatisfaction in the ballot box, then the Harding adminstration will suffer a severe rebuke and the people will have a Democratic House and a stronger bulwark in the Senate to protect them from encroachments of the predatory-corporation influence. But the people will not only have go to the polls and register their disapproval?many votes will be cast that will be wasted just as surely as the soldier wastes his bullet who raises his gun and fires at the sky. To be effective against the corporation control of this adminstration the votes must be concentrated behind the candidates of the leading party in opposition to the administration. Votes cast for the third and fourth parties are thrown away and worse than thrown away, for they enable the Republican candidate to win. And the man or woman who condemns the Republican Congress in talking with the neighbors, but who neglects . to vote,* ie surrendering his or her Americanism without a struggle. In determining the fate of the country this "voter" is not a voter at all, | but a cipher. Thinking right is good, but if this is not followed by voting right, then it is of no avail, and he who is in error triumphs. If the reports received by the Democratic headquarters are correct, the Democrats alone, without much aid from dissatisfied Republicans and Progressives, could win a great victory if they go to the polls in something like full strenght, for millions of votes that were cast for Harding two years ago Will be missing when the returns come in next Tuesday night. They will be the votes of those who now know that they were fooled, cajoled with false promises and cheated in the results. There are many classes who owe present Republican Congress a black black ball in shape of a Democratic vote at the polls. Perhaps nothing stands out with greater clearness than the deception practiced toward the veterans of the World War, who were led to believe in every way that it could be stated, that they would receive adjusted compensation with a view to repaying them in small measure for the losses they suffered by reason of having1 been in service for the most critical period of their lives. Surely they realize by this time that they have no hope of receiving this compensation so long as Harding is in the White House, and while this Congressional election will not turn him out of the White House, it will go far toward that end if a Democratic House and a bunch of Democratic Senators are elected. A republican victory will be taken as an endorsement of the President's stan< on the bonus. The Republican House and Senate voted the bonus through because they had to face the soldier vote this fall, but they did it with their fingers crossed, knowing that the President, who does not have to face the voters for two years more, intended to veto the bill. But it is not the word bonus which is so unpleasant to the ear of the President, it is welcome enough when used }n other connections. He is to call Congress in extra session on November 20 in order to have a law passed giving a bonus to the wealthy ship-owners?but they don't need it. That wise old writer in the Bible must have had this sitution in his mind when he wrote: "Unto him who hath, it shall be given, and from him who hath not, it shall be taken away." And so it is again with the big manufacturers, fattening off the excessive profits which accrue to them under the workings of the new high tariff law?that ia a bonus to tbern, pure and simple. There are plenty of different kinds of bonuses, but only CIVIC LEAGUE ACTIVITIES The Chesterfield Civic Lfeagu< held its regular monthly meeting Friday afternoon, having a veryjgooc attendance. | It was decided to pay $75 a yeai to Mr. J.

PAYMENT. i ' The second cash payment to South I \ Carolina members of the Tobacco Growers Co-operative Association will be made as soon as checks can ! be prepared which will be not later ' than November 15th, according1 to an' nouncement by the board of directors of the Tobacco Co-operative held in Richmond, October 30th. The South Carolina directors will name the date and places of distrii bution and mass meetings and celebrations of the organized tobacco farmers of South Carolina are looked for when they bring their participation receipts to draw a second cash payment epual to their first. Sales to all of the Rig domestic companies at prices that are highly satisfactory to the directors were repored at last Monday's meetings and weekly deliveries to the association are now running between ten and fifteen millon pounds. Attorneys of the Association were directed to proceed to bring legal action at once against all contract breakers to protect the interest of loyal members in nvpr? ?? ing county of the three States. The rapid growth of strong local associations in Virginia and North Carolina was reported by M. O. Wilson, Secretary and Field Service Direotor of tho Tobacco Growers Cooperative Association, and the decision of the board this week to aid the formation of locals in South Carolina as well as in Virginia and North Carolina will undoubtedly bring the number of well organized units of | the Association to over a thousand in the three States during the present month.
