1t is one of the severest tests
of friendship to tell your friend
of his faults. If you are angry
with a man, or hate him, it is
not hard to 60 to him and stab
with words; but to so love man
that you cannot bear to see the
stain of sin upon him, and to
speak harmful truth through low
ing words-that is friendship.
But few have such friends. Our
enemies teach us what we are at
the point of the sword.

The Question of Bonds.

In another column will be seen
the notice of the trustees Of Kings
tree school district that an election
will be held here next Tuesday
June 25) on the question of issuing
bonds in the sum of $4,000 to en-
large the school building. While
we have little doubt that the vote
will be affirmative, yet We would
urge upon the citizens of the town
not to take this for granted, but to
come out and vote. Then, again, If
if large vote be cast and the bond
issue be decided on by a big ma jor-
ity, it will mean saving of several
hundred dollars in the way of inter
est in placing the bonds.
As we understand it, the proposed
bond issue will cover a period of
twenty years, and all the town will
have to pay is the interest and a
small sum annually to create a
sinking fund for retiring the bonds
at maturity. 1t is therefore obvious
that the lower the rate of interest
in placing the bonds, the lighter will
be the burden upon the town.
AS to the necessity of this add.
tional building, no one acquainted
with the conditions can deny that
more room is needed. 1t is the best
evidence possible of the school S
prosperity, and We hope that in a
few years accommodation will be
needed for five hundred pupils.

Having failed signally in it
attempt to show up South Car
olina to disadvantage IN COM
rar;son with Connecticut, or tt
refute a single point of our ar
gument against compulsory edu'
cation. the Columbia State at
tempts to cover its retrograde
movement by a volley of cheap
sarcasm and coarse abuse. In fact,
The State appears to be very
much disgruntled and in its chol-
eric state is scarcely responsible
for It's utterances. For instance.
in one paragraph it compares us
to the Colossos (Colossus!) OF
Rhodes, while in another it de-
clares us too small to be worthy
of its distinguished notice.
Following the Colossus meta
phor occurs this bright get-off:
"How delightful it must be to
have really gigantic statue .
Now. we would like for The State
to explain its meaning-what or
whose statue it refers to; or in its
fine frenzy did it drop its ''r" as
we'll as its manners?
No, dear contemporary, we are
oy 10 manner of means hanker-
ing after publicity" Of the
States brand, nor in fact any
thing that The State has power
to bestow. For some time 1t has
been our intention to discuss
through these columns the subject
of compulsory education and to
endeavor to point out its fallacies,
and The State simply gave us
an opportunity to set the ball
rolling. In case We were IN er-
ror as to any assertion, statistics
or argument adduced We honestly
desired to be set straight, but up
to this time nothing We said has
been controverted.
Now, in our explanation of the
origin of the movement for COM
pulsory education, We made no
claim to ''discoyery,' but cited as
our authority The Manufacturers
Record, of Baltimore. But The
State saws that the movement
grew out of the fact that in 1898,
during the Spanlsh-Amerlcan war,
it was observed that white enlist,
ed meu had to make their marks
on pay day.
Now, reading between the lines,
We infer that The State taxes
credit unto itself for originating the
glorious propaganda of compul-
sion in South Carolina. Well,
