the benefit of it and whore it will do
the most good. a small appropre-
ton could be made for Federal road
building, say in each county, and
this, supplemented by State and
county and possibly even township
aid, would in short time give to tho
people of this country such Il systom
of public highways rs the world has
never seon.
I was greatly impressed with this
scheme when it was proposed at
Greenvillo and have thought about
it great deal since. The moro
think about it the moro heartily in
favor Of it do l become. | believe il
will meet with the approval of any
man who will give it consideration.
l hope The News and Courior and
other papers of the State will take
up the question and ngitate It, aud
want to see our Senators aud Rep.
resentatives in Congress comply with
the resolution adopted at Greenvillp.
L hope there will be large attcn.
dance at the meeting of tho Good
Roads Convention which is to be
held at Charleston on February 3.
Every one who was at Grcenvillo
should go to Charleston and us many
more as can possibly do 30.
The question Of good roads vitally
concerns the whole State and if we
will continue the good work com
menced at Greenville much practical
good can be accomplished.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION,

The time has como for us to con-
slder the necessity of enacting q com
pulsory education law. The State
cannot afford to permit children to
grow up in ignorance If parents
are not alive to their duty, the intel
igonce and conscience of the State
should be equal to the protection of
these unfortunate children and of
the social whole. A moderate law
would yet be great advance. It
should require that every child be-
tween tho ages of 8 and IL attend
school at least IL weeks in the year.
This law would insure only 80 weeks
of schooling to each child, equal to
one session Of nine months. In this
connection I call attention to the
resolution Of the State Teachers
association, and the very able address
Of DR.. B. L. Wilson On this subject,
both Of which are published i'll this
volume.

[Thc State, 2nd.]

Inc olale, Zig.
Late last night the annual report
of State board Of directors Of the dis
pensary for tho year just closed Was
made public by the chairman of the
board, Mr.. l.. j. Williams. 1t reads
rs follows
TO his Excellency, M. B. McSweeney,
Governor Of South Carolina:
We have tho honor to submit to
you, for your information and also
that of the general assembly, this our
report of the business done by the
dispensary during the fiscal year
closing Nov. 80, 1901.
Examination Of the various &C.
counts attached hereto, will show that
the total amount of cost Of liquors,
wines and beer, etc., purchased
during the year has amounted to ST.
017,073.17, and that our gross sales
have amounted to $2,32S,061.21 (ex-
elusive Of sales of fresh beer by beer
dispensers).
Tho net profit (to the State) for
account Of the school fund is $780,
0G2.25. The net profits, that have
accrued to the counties and towns,
divided equally, arc $424, ,285.87,
which makes total net profit Of
$540, ,24S. II for the year, on account
Of the school fund and towns aud
counties.
We have for some time felt &C.
riOuB need of moro warehouse and Of
flee room, and also safe and COM
modious fire proof vault for the stor-
age and preservation Of our perma-
mont records. Consequently we have
had constructed moro storage capac-
lty, and also q convenient two story
| Office building with commodious
and up-to date fire. proof vault, which
has cost $l1 ,4048l, besides other
petty improvements.
The act approved, Feb. 80, 1900,
forbids us to make more than 10 per
! cent, profit on account Of the school
fund, and the past year we have
made on that account in round fig
ures 6 per cent which leaves only
| very small margin with which to run
the business, and while it is true that
the school fund is considerable,
amounting ut present to $011 ,354.38,
it is available very slowly for pay
ment to the schools, as that is our
only working capital.
We are gratiiied to be able to show
such high per centage Of net profits
on the business done, especially as
the price of liquors have been very
high on account of the high rate of
| grain, while we have not made any
advance in the price to the consumer.
The system seems to be in very
thorough working order in all it's de.
tails.
Respectfully submitted,
L. j. Williams, Chairman,

futile attempt, which, had tho con-
gress been deliberately conspiring to
get credit under false pretences for
hitting at the trusts, they could not
have done better than they did. He
suggests a number of changes in the
present law, especially as to the for

e. State Superintendent of Education
MoMehan is hard ut work now upon
his annual report. His work has
been much delayed by the failure of
county superintendent to get in their
reports or get them in arranged in
proper form.
Mr.. McMahan yesterday permitted
the use Of the general Introductory
summary which is full of interest:
~. STATISTICS.
The statistical facts for the State,
the counties and the districts are set
forth in detail in the tables in part II
of this report. Many of these data
are only approximately accurate, but
it is probable that the results pre-
sented this year ore more accurate
than any ever given before for this
State. No pains have been spared
in endeavoring to have errors cor.
rected and omissions supplied, though
unyielding insistence upon complete-
ness has delayed the printing of the
report.
Some points should be made and
some lessons drawn here by refer
enoe to certain leading facts for this
and other years. 1 had wished to
make the comparisons for all the
preceding years Of our public school
system, but must abandon this task
for the present at least, since I find
in the older reports SO many omie.
sions and contradictions, that unless
great time could be given to study.
ing the details aud calculating the
relative facts, comparisons would be
misleading. must, therefore, con
fine the statements to the facts of the
last three years:
AVERAGE ANNUAL SALARY PAID TEAcHEEs.

White. ......$155.7 $l7s.38 Sl8S.9I
Negro. -. :. .$76.03 $80.G8 $50. 80
These facts although they indicate
some improvement from year to year,
should cause us shame. A moro de-
tailed study would indicate the i'm
possibility Of teaching profession in
some counties. Only few illustra
tions will be here cited
=. In Chesterfield the average salary
of the white teachers was $l1O.54;
in Horny $l05.20; in williamsburg
$1O2.55. Yet these salaries are an
improvement over previous, years.
Omitting the counties of Beaufort,
: Colleton, Kershaw, Saluda and Spar
tanburg, not reported.
Omitting the eounties Of Kershaw
and Lancaster, not reported.
Taking the counties that accord
ing to the report of 1893 paid their
white teachers less than an average
of 500 year, We may observe the
6evelopement as follows:
AVERAGE SALARY OF TEACHERS FOR
q ., YEAR.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-01-07

s. Bau as these ngufes are, they
show some Improvement. No county
in the State now pays less than 500
"a year as an average to white teach
! ers. But we must remember that
these are merely averages, and that
as some teachers in eaoh county re
eeive more, Some less than the aver
age. -, . ....
Now let us observe the best. In
40 counties the average salary paid
TO white teachers last year was 5000
Il or more. The record of these for
8thres years, is, therefore, here pre-
ssnted

Charleston bears the palm and
Richland comes second.
Evidently to have an effective sys-
tom OF schools throughout the State,
we need to spond at least twice
what we now spend on teachers.
Then the average salary for the teach
ers would be u little moro for white
teachers and little less for negroes
than in Richland at present. The fig
ures would then be$377.82 and$lGO.-
go, and would be still far below the
average in Charleston county. From
such reflections we should have
larger and more solemn conception
of what we need in the way of
raising money for education.

force of teachers is somewhat indi-

We have no means Of knowing
very definitely what proportion Of
children are attending 1chool. The
legal school age is from 6 to 81, but
few Of those near either limit will
attend. The United States census
