for a double-header at Wiedenmayer's

Insects all play good ball against the

crimp in the aspirations OF the Bengal

the occasion by splitting even in a

Tigers won the second, I to 2. McGin-

Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1909-01-05

WE have been aware for a long time
that Senator Tillman is opposed to
compulsory education; but we are SIM
ply amazed at his suggestion that there
is no need for the education of poor
whites now, because the people who
fought at Kings Mountain were not
educated 1t is true that many of the
patriot soldiers who fought for the eS-
tablishment of American liberty were
illiterates: but we think it equally true
that had it not been for the efforts and
influence Of their educated leaders,
American liberty would have never
been established. There are within the
range of our acquaintance number OF
men who are unable to read and write,
and who are among the best citizens we
know; but among them there Is not
one who has not sense enough to know
how much better would have been his
opportunities and how much more he
would have been able to accomplish,
had he had the advantage of falr
education. OF course, there are rea-
sonable objections TO compulsory edu-
cation under present conditions: but
we do not consider the negro question
one of them. The negro is now taking
all the schooling he can get without
being made to do so, and he is making
himself superior in a very important
particular to many Of the whites, who
are being allowed to grow up in ignor-
ance. There may be reasonable differ
ence Of opinion on how white children
are to be educated, what they are tc
be taught and why; but on the question
as to whether they are to be taught at
all there can be no difference that can
be sustained in reason or common
sense. If the whites Of this country
are not able to educate their children,
they should receive all possible assist
ance from the state, and If they will not
voluntarily avail themselves Of this as
sistance, then they should be brought
to it by compulsion. So far as the
negro is concerned, we do not believe
that q compulsory education law Will
appreciably increase their attendance
on the public schools.

though il may make mistakes, is not
liable to do any permanent harm. No
newspaper, worthy of the name. will
DENY it's columns to anyone it may have
injured OF misrepresented, for any rea-
sOnable correction. Any broadminded
editor who has unwittingly done injuS-
tice 10 any individual, will. as soon as
that injustice is called to his attention,
go any reasonable length to make prop
er amends. But with 1t all, let no one
lightly estimate the responsibility and
anxiety incident to the conduct of a
really useful newspaper. All wide
awake, capable newspaper editors see
many things the public cannot see. and
they are often at sore embarrassment
even about the telling Of things that
they are sure the public ought to know.
But this is as it should be. As is the
case with other vocations, there are
constituencies as we'll as conscientious
newspaper men, and there can be no
license to one that is not equally avail
able to the other. But blot ont the
means of publicity afforded by the
press and consider the situation. There
are those who would like it, Of course,
because il is the only present check
they can see To their unfair and unjust
designs against the great mass Of
people, who find in the publicity afford
ed by the press their most effective pro-
lection.

SEMINOLE IN ROCK HILL.

The following from w. H. McCaw,
the we'll known Columbia correspond
ert is interesting:
Rock Hill and Spartanburg are two
other hard-headed towns in which the
agents failed on account of the attitude
of the bankers.
Not Il dollars worth of stock was
sold in Rock HILL" said a leading
banker of that city to the Observer
correspondent. THE agents who came
to Rock Hill never would have got even
an interview with me but for the fact
that they carried letter of introduce
ton from a fellow banker and personal
friend. asking me as a personal favor
to grant an interview and highly rec
ommending the enterprise. Seeing at
ter long hard talk, that l would not
bite they offered me commission on
all other stock they sold in the town.
I don't care how little you take, the
agents urged, just so you take some.
Subscribe for one share and give me
a dollar and half for it and letter
and we will give you a good commits
sion on all the business we land in the
town. But l told him, no, never.
One Rock Hill banker was hypnO-
tiZed to the extent of subscribing for
s., 900 shares without being offered a
commission, but the next day some of
his friends took him out in the back
lot for Il talk. with the result that he
shortly afterward engaged the agent in
a pleasant chat. during which in a
careless sort of way he asked to see
the note he had given "tO satisfy him
self whether it had been correctly made
out"
Yes" he said, smiling, as he began
to tear ii into small bits before the
eyes of the agent. "its accuracy is
what objected to-"
