Nj. Haddon will be an information bu-
reau for the farmers OF the county,
will help the school boys, and the
school girls in their corn club and
tomato club work. In fact, it is diff
cult to tell how far reaching in the de-
velopment of the rural districts this
movement will prove. This is what
We call doing things.
BY putting up only part Of the
money for this work Greenville gets
outside help, because there are al
ways people who are willing to help
people who are doing things.
BY pledging fund of $1,000 a year
for two years, to be devoted to de-
velopment agricultural interests in
Greenville county, the chamber OF
commerce has a guarantee of $1,000 a
year, for two years, from the Nation
al association of grain exchanges, OF
Chicago. This fund Of $4,000 j. to be
further supplemented by the contribu-
tions from the farm extension depart
ment of Clemson college and the de-
partment of agriculture Of the United
States.
There is no better section il South
Carolina for carrying on work OF this
character than Newberry county. Peo-
pie who do things have got to wake up.
BY a little concert Of action and CO.
operation it would be easy to raise ST.
600 for work of this character, and
why could not the same outside en-
couragement be had. But you must
do something yourself first.

AS TO COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

1t is stated that compulsory edu-
cation measure will be introduced IN
the next legislature Gov. Blease
gives out an interview that he will
certainly place his veto on any such
measure should it pass the legislature.
He states that this question was an is
sue in the recent campaign, and that
he was elected ON the platform against
such a measure. It may have been in
his platform, but it is our opinion that
there were no issues discussed in the
campaign, and more's the pity there
wasn't. AS we recall it, the campaign
was more a campaign of abuse and
yituperation and of personalities than
any sort of campaign Of education, or
even remote discussion of issues. 1t
is known that Gov. Blease has taken
position against a compulsory educa-
ton measure long before he was elect
ed governor, and, therefore, his posi-
ton now is entirely consistent with his
past record on the subject.
Their is need for something. Com-
pulsory education may not be the solu-
ton, but some means should be devils
ed to force those parents who seem
not to realize the Importance of edu-
eating their children to wake up TO
their duty And then the children
should be given an opportunity to do
something for themselves and not be
treated as chattel.
We may not be ready for compulsory
education, but it is high time We were
getting ready to do something for the
children of the commonwealth. We
believe some sort of mild law on the
subject would do good. 1t seems IN
this day we have to have a law Tor
everything, and we can think of moth
ing of more vital importance to the
State than the education of the chill
dren, and if the parents will not see
that their children are educated then
the State should step in and say they
shall be. The right to tax the people
for their education carries with it the
right to see that the children are Civ
en- the advantages thus offered. There
is little use to spend money for the
schools if the children are not in the
schools. They can not get the bene-
fit if they dc not attend.

DOING THINGS.

We admire the way the chamber OF
commerce of Greenyille has gone
about doing things. A chamber OF
commerce, or for that matter any
other body or organization, is only
valuable when it does things. To 90
things is its mission. Otherwise II
has no excuse for existence. Nothing
personal or local in this observation.
But the Greenville chamber has en-
ployed Mr.. C. B. Haddon, State agent
of the boys corn club work, to become
farm demonstration agent for Green
Vile county an expert, who shall devote
ganized plan of the chamber Of COM
merce, to put in the field in Green
Vile county an exjert, who shall devote
his entire time to the development Of
agricultural methods in that county.
