MINERAL POINT WINS CONTESTS

Is If Fair?

The educational problem is
constantly coming before our
ksaple. How can I educate my
cnlldren is a question daily be-
lore the parents of our county,
and no answer is given. Some
advocate specia! levies in differ
ent school districts. Some want
a uniform levy on all bhs coun-
ty. Some believe in ceS 9ulsory
education. Others areS Sopposed
to the compulsory education
law. It is to be hoped that the
next legislature will get together
and pass some law that will
stimulate our school work in
the rural districts. There is no
doubt that our State schools will
be making their usual plea for
large appropriations. But who
will be there to plea for the
public schoolsl We earnestly
hope that some great deliverer
will rise up and come to the
rescue of our county schools.
We need better buildings,
better equipments, better paid
teachers-and that means bet
ter teachers. We know that
every community must help its
self, but we submit that it is
not right to make such large
appropriations to our State col
leges and leave our public
schools so poorly provided for.
Look, if you please, at the COM
parison. The child in the public
school in Pickens county gets
s7.29, while the boy at Clemson
gets Sl54.OO The boy at the
University of South Carolina
gets about s299. 90, and the boy
at the Citadel gets $4,000.
We have state pride enough to
want our state schools to pros
peT, but not to the detriment of
our country schools. Compare
lively few of our boys and girls
ever go to college and the most
of education that the masses
will receive will be in the public
schools. Hence the Importance
of making our public schools
the very best that can be made,

Roosevelt Shot.

The attempted assassination
of former President Theodore
Roosevelt, now leader of the
Bull Moose party, is an affair to
be regretted by every man
worthy the name. No one,
save a bad man, can rejoice at
the evil fortune that comes to
any man. Whatever one may
think of Theodore Roosevelt as
a politician, it is impossible to
refuse him a high place in. the
ranks Of courageous men. His
superb self-cantrol, his stern
determination, his sheer phvsi-
cal courage places him in the
forefront Of real manhood

FAKE CHARGE

(By United Press Leased Wire. J
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Before
leaving for Los Angeles today
where, on Washington birthday
he clashes with Johnny Kilbane Of
Cleveland in a 20 round contest
Abe Attell, the featherweiga NJ
champion, appeared before the
New York boxing commission and
made affidavit that his recent
bout with Knockout Brown here
was not fake.
Many complaints from fight
fans that Attell "dogged" all
through the bout caused the COM
missioners to announce that they
would investigate the match and
if it was found that Attell stalled
he would never again be allowed
to fight in New York. Attell says
he injected too much cocaine into
his injured arm, which made him
dopey.

me on top of the head and put me
