In our recent paper we considered
the present educational awakening
and the worthy response of the peo-
ple-the enthusiasm, the high rate Of
special tax and the adequate school
buildings erected. The principle
that the State must now aid in a
greater way those that are noN
helping themselves was advanced =
and that the duty of making this
provision shall be that of the next
legislature was considered.
There is not one large school in
the county that does not face wo-
full lack of funds. Those. which have
voted the highest tax are in as great
need as any other. A trustee of one
of our more rrominent high schools
recently stated that his school mast
have more money-the patrons had
done all in their power and still
there was need And yet this man
was not baf1ed-he was determined
that the school should not suffer-he
would first borrow monev as long as
there was credit ere the high stand
ard of the school should 80 back.
Here is proper spirit and q proper
faith. Coming generations are de-
pending upon us-shall they suffer?
Men of this type are needed Such
men in our Legislature would mean
that this State would invest more
money in the making Of citizens and
our high schools would not suffer for
lack of funds.
The State should appropriate dou-
BILE the amount of money now given
to aid high schools, and in two
years time double the amount again.
1t matters little to the thinking man
where this money comes FROM the
need is too great and too urgent to
hesitate and quarrel over small mat
ters. A very small increase in the
State levy would provide amply
yet there may be another way. 1t
is evident that Clemson College re-
ceives more money from the fertili-
zer tax than the college uses advan-
tageously. If Sl50,00O will sustain
this college, why squander 100000
more simply because the farmer
pays it willingly though he be la
boring under delusion. Why not
devote this money to the high school,
the peoples college, where it is
needed infinitely more than Clemson
College needs it? However the case,
Clemson College should be given
definite amount of money and the
balance from the tax can be spent
where needed. A boy squander'
more when his father fills his poke
to overhowing with dollars whoss
value he knows not Just so CO
lege becomes a profligate under the
misguided benefactions from the p:-
rental State.
More money from the State fol
our high schools, especially the rura
schools, is our conclusion, let tn
Representative in his wisdom deter
mine the source and method of der
ivation.
Fitness for the position determine
the employers final action. | hav

nus homo who were fitted for be

According to , dispatch the
government expert, have officially
announced that the boil wecviI
has extended its rayayrS over
more than hat Of Mobile county.
This Jews, though it can surprise
nc one who has followed the his
tory OF the pest, Will come as
something OF i shock to the cotton
trade. About two decades have
elapsed sine, Che WCry;i crossed
the Rio Grandc and began to make
lnrOadS in the Texas crop. With
in the last 'eN years, Louisiana
has practically disappeared from
the list of cotton producing states,
while Mississippi and Arkansas
have been hard hit. The eastern
belt has hereto kept It's produce
ton Wcll.up to the maximum. be
aus its fields were free from the
tiny insect. But it would appear
that the eastern belt Will soon be
face To face With the same prob
lem. Theoretical cconnmiStS as
sumo that supply will always re-
SpOnd to demand, but experience
teaches that special conditions
may suspend the law. With the
boil WceNIl active, vow cannot pro
ducc cotton, 10 matter how high
price chances to be. An unfavar-
able season may b offset by an
increased acItagC. but no tactics
Of this sort will offset Il disaster
which makes natures kindness
and mans toll absolutely vain.
1t had been hoped that the
peril might be minimized bv
scientific methods and the govern
ment experts have strongly cham
piOncd this view. Yet we find
that the Board of Control of
the Louisiana Penitentiary had to
abandon cotton growing on the
Angola estate, despite the decisive
advantages which the command of
convict labor gave. 1t is obvious
ly impossible to obey the minute
directions set forth in the backs,
unless you can overthrow the bar
rierS which individual freedom
erectS. The Louisiana Board of
Control could enforce rules with
perfect precision; if it ordered
every stalk to be burned, every
stalk was burned without fail.
Nowhere else can the same iron
discipline of labor be had. The
emancipated negro abandOns the
weevil infested districts and be-
takes himself to employments
which imply no such hazards.

Governor Of New Jersey. Mr..
Wilson was born in Virginia and

has closely devoted his life to his
profession, that Of teacher, and
held high honors before being
made President Of Princeton, he
has always attracted the attention
Of publicists and statesmen by the
breadth and strength of his views
on national questions. Without
ever having been in politics, he
has repeatedly been urged for the
Presidency Of the United States.
There is no man in the DcmOcra-
tic party who would have d bet
ter chance Of being elected in 1912
than Mr.. Wilson, and his nOmi
nation would at once give the
South its due and put the Demo

ROADS MUST HAVE COTTON.
otherwise Banks will not Handle
Bills of Landing.

New York, Dec. 6.-Representatirc
OF eighteen Of the largest exchal ge
buying banks in the city, at a meet
today, decided that cotton carving
roads IN the South must adhere
strictly to the rule, providing that all
blils Of lading for cotton shall be
validated only when the nronertv
comes into actual possession Of the
carrier, otherwise, the banks doina, q
foreign exchange business may refuse
TO buy the bills.
The attention Of officials of banks
had been called to the fact that soma
Of the roads were dilatory in this re-
gard. 1t is understood the representa-
tlves of the banks agreed unanimously
that they could not safely buy bills of
foreign exchange against bills of lad
ing for export cotton, unless such bills
were validated strictly in accordance
with the White Sulphur Springs
agreement, made between bankers and
railroads last July. This stipulates
that bills Of landing shall not be sign
duntil the cotton is in the possession
ed until the cotton is in the possession
can Bankers Association, it was
learned, has received word from the
Interstate commerce commission
that it intends to stop the practice OF
issuing bills Of lading for merchan-
disc not actually in the possession Of
the erIier.
