Centre OF the South-Money
and Energy Combined,

More than year ago. maybe two
years ago, the Industrial Section set
forth the idea that hIchmond is
geographically and otherwise the logl-
cal point for the manufacture of auto
mobiles. The facts and figures show
ing the wonderful growth of this m
dustry' in the Middle West. and the
big profits 1t had brought to Detroit
and other cities in that region, were
brought out in bold relief. and the
question was asked, why should not
Richmond get into this SWIM. Wise
men read the Industrial Section. and
wise men agreed that the Industrial
Section was dead right WISE men
have decided that Ricnmond - natur-
ally or. can be made to be the auto
mobile ma king centre of the South
country.

Some OF the members Of the Lesisla-
ture, notably Speaker Byrd and Repre-
sentative Love, of Lunenburg county,
seem to be under tho Impression that
virginia has gone education mad, and
that entirely too many frilIs are being
AIDED to the public school system of
the State. l wonder what they Will
think of this bit of information which
l gather from an exchange: The Au-
thorities OF tho Oregon Agricultural
College have established course in
camp cooking which should prove
highly useful. Men taking this course
VIII be trained in the preparation NOT
only of the staple FOODS used by
Woodsmen, but OF pastry and many
other articles seldom seen In lumber
camps"
nave 'isitcd some Of the lumber
ing and sawmill camps N the deep
forests OF Virginia, and Oh several oc-
caslons have dined with the lumber
men. The Indifferent COOKING and the
poor use made of the food supplies to
me was amazing. Perhaps 1t Is of
some such experience az this in the
forests OF Oregon that the authorities
OF the Agricultural College of that
STATE have decided to make this re-
markaole educational innovation. /
guess the Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute VIII never establish q lumber

should can very well Imagine what

ates would be in and around the big,

six months.
In the meantime the police of Beau
fort have been requested to hold Cros-

thorities. 1t is likely a warrant will
be issued here for him, and if the gov

requisition for him he will be brought
back to Savannah when the South Car

Spartanburg Herald.
Our friend and virile felloW-citizen
Frank Evans, superintendent of the
public schools of Spartanburg, went
down to Charleston last week as a
delegate to the teachers convention
And, as was to be expected by al
those who know him, he put in blow
for compulsory education-a cause
that must win in South Carolina, if not
as a Statewide measure, then as a
local option measure.
If there are some portions of this
State, in which the people are so ig-
norant and Indifferent as to oppose
compulsory education, that is no rea-
son why other counties of the State,
wherein the people believe in educa-
tion, should be bound to a body OF
death and ignorance.
Mr. Evans introduced the follow
ing resolutions, which We're adopted
by the teachers:
Whereas, it is logical and right
that the South Carolina Teachers as
sociation should take an active part
in shaping school legislation for the
State; and,
Whereas, among her sister States
South Carolina stands the lowest but
one in the scale of illiteracy; and,
|. Whereas, the time has come when
some legal enactment upon this sub
ject is imperative; be it
Resolved, 1. That committee,
composed of the president and execu-
tive committee of this association, be
requested to secure the enactment of
an adequate and suitable compulsory
school attendance law.
"2. If compulsory attendance law
can not be passed, which will be ap-
plicable and operative in the entire
State, then law which will permit
in any school district the adoption of a
compulsory education law by the vote
of the qualified electors of that district
should be enacted

he talks confidently of the outcome.
