The Bonds Cannot Be Cancelled
Citadel Beneiiciacies Cannot Avoid
Their Obligation to Teach in
2 the Public Schools.
The State, 26th INST.

Inc 0late, 2bth INST.
In 1890 the legislature passed
law which was intended to keep
young men from getting their ed
ucation at the Citadel ut the ex-
pense of the State and then rcfus.
ing to repay the State for It's gen
erosity. This law requires that
each Citadel graduate shall teach
two years in the free SCHOOLS as
had been the law for generation
and that to guarantee the fulfill
ment of this contract Il bond of
50, 600 is to be given.
And yet it appears that after
being educated, boarded aud even
clothed at the expense of the State
some parties try to get ont of the
contract by waiting until two
years have elapsed and then
declaring that they tried to get
school and couldn't.
This is the only school in the
State, male or female. which gives
everything to the beneficiary
scholar, even clothing, and the on
ly return asked is that that benefi-
ciary will teach two years in the
free public schools.
The State superintendent of
education has had occasion to ask
the attorney general Is c>nn::se il n
Citadel graduate is exempted from
performing his obligations if his
term of teaching he deferred for
a period of two years after his
graduation. Mr.. Townsend, the
assistant attorney general, has
handed in an OPINION to the effect
stated above.
The law says very distinctly
that every beneficiary cadet upon
reporting for duty shall execute
bond for the faithful performance
of his duty. That he is to teach
two years if he graduates, and if
he is honorably discharged before
the end of his four years he must
teach period of timeproportion-
ed upon the length of his stay IN
the academy. Unless the cadet
pays his obligation with two years
Of service as teacher in the free
public schools of the State, he
shall be deemed guilty of violat-
ing a contract and may be sued in
the courts of the State. The law
is very explicit and the only ex.
ceptlon noted is that the graduate,
with permission of the board of
visitors, may teach in the schools
and colleges of the State rs in the
free public schools This is done
SO that men of talent will not he

Rise In Cotton Justified
Continued from 1st page.

cotton from the bears in the cot
ton market and required them to
deliver the cotton, and, Of course,
the price went up.
GAS Il rule the managers of
the cotton mills all over the coun-
tY arc bears and sympathize with
the bear operators. Very natur-
ally, their interest is to lower the
price of the raw material, and
they needed the representations
made by the bear operators, cX>
aggerated the last crop of cotton
and failed to provide themselves
with the raw material to keep
their mills gong. That is all
there is IN that.
"Can you say anything with
reference TO the profits in manu-.
featuring cotton cloth from the
raw cottonH'
"Well, only in very general
way. A friend of mine who is
largely interested IN the manufac,
ture of cotton in the South, gave
me some statistics ut one time of
fhe profits from say q pound of
raw cotton converted into the fin
ishcd product, and | am told that
in many instances that profit has
been anywhere from 10 per cent
TO 100 per cent, which, of course,
is very gratifying to me, for |
didn't want to see the cotton mills
of the North, or, the South,
either, crippled in any way. But
they have not paid n fair price for
cotton in the last ten years, and If
the law of supply and demand is
to cut any figure now raw cotton
ought TO bo worth Is cents
pound.
"And if, as | understand, the
mills state they cannot manufac-
turc cotton at the present price
and make any money out Of it,
the simple remedy for that is to
buy the cotton at the ruling price
and put up the price of the manu-
factured goods, for l think we
may safely expect that we will IN
a very few nlonths find famine
OF cotton manufactured goods in
this country
"What is the visible supply of
raw cotton on the market, and
about how long would 1t last?'
"My Information, and / think
1t IS pretty accurate, is that the
visible supply of cotton to-day is
about $50, 900 bales, which would
be about three weeks supply for
the cotton mills. That is my IN
formation"
"And low long before the new
crop will begin to come into the
Market"
"Well they are picking cotton
now IN the extreme South, but, as
a rule, cotton ought to be rushed
In in October or November, and
then, Of course, tie mills can say
what cotton they want. And |
think | ought to be correct that
we are now having the greatest
cotton famine in this country
since the civil war. / want to
repeat that cotton should be sell
ing to day for 10 cents pound,
If the rule of supply and demand
is to cut any fgure.H
"What is your Information as
to the number Of bales of cotton
in the last crop"
"Wcl!, | understand the bears
sent circulars all over this country
aud Europe representing that the
crop would be II, 100000 bales,

1.-The ernan, the English, the

"ln view of the increasing
world demand for cotton, do you
think that. we in this country have
any cause to fear foreign com pc.
tition?n
"Not the slightest. On the
contrary, | thinl we will go on
increasing the crop. The demand
is increasing every year. The
enormous increase of cotton fac.
tories in the South is absorbing n

"Then, what do you make out
of Secretary Wilson's state
ments?"
"Well, summarized briefly, l
should say they amounted to an
unwarranted, and, it seems to me,
rather wanton charact erization of
reputable business men, doing
business in legitimate and honor

That, and number of bogeys,
