give free tuition only in cases where
parents are unable to pay, is common.
and looking at conditions as they eX-
ist rather than as we would like to have
them, we do not see how the situation
could be we'll Strengthened out. The
man who pays the most taxes for edu-
cational purposes naturally feels that
he is entitled to most of the benefits.
At least that is the case with the aver
age man. He is wrong, of course; but
unhappily there is no adequate method
of convincing him, and when it comes
to a matter of getting free tuition or
anything else free from the state. too
many people forget all about the mora!
obligation involved. The best way
around it, we think. is that suggested
by the Herald and News. 1t might be
lust a little heavier on the taxpayers;
but for all that is lost there, the gain
in general self-respect would be more
than sufficient to make 1t up.

Doesn't Like Sen. McLaurin.-There
seems to be no further room for doubt
about the candidacy Of State Senator
John L. McLaurin for the Democratic
nomination for governor next year.
Senator McLaurin attended the Filbert
picnic last Friday and when the candi-
dates for governor were asked to speak
he marched right up to the front and
relieved himself OF a bunch Of bunk
erino. Senator McLaurin seems TO
have listened to and been influenced In
making the race for office by the COM
plimentary things which have been
said about him by one or two half
baked Democratic newspapers publish
ed in the state. He will learn before
the campaign has progressed very far
that he has no earthly show Of winning
the nomination. He Is a man Of some
ability, but his ability is Of the kind
the people will not prefer. He has a
record, too.-Fort Mill Times.

At the conference for the Common
Good yesterday, Col Robert A!drich,
offered a resolution commending Sena-
tor Smith for his alleged share in in
ducing Secretary McAdoo to propose
the $50,O00,000 deposit in southern
banks. President Tate said that he did
not want to vote down the res, tuition;
but thought that If the conference
should go to endorsing public men, it
would get itself into very serious trou-
BILE. Col. Aldrich finally withdrew his
resolution. Secretary Smell, of the
Charleston Chamber of Commerce
made serious objections to resolutions
introduced by Z. w. Dabbs, president
of the South Carolina Farmers Union,
because he thought they reflected on
a certain feature of the administration
Of the Federal department of agricul-
ture in this state. When the objec-
tionable feature was stricken out. Mr..
Smell withdrew a resolution he had
offered to table.

The large number of people regis
tered last Monday is but an indication
of what can be done if the people will
only make il their business to agitate
the matter among unregistered people,
and remind them that the first Mon
day In September is the next day upon
which certificates may be had. There
is no provision in the statutes for
advertising registration days
in the newspapers, it being assumed
that everybody should know the law,
and it therefore becomes especially i'm
portant that those who do know should
tell the people who do not.

CATAWBA ROADS

Mr.. d. p. Leslie. road supervisor
for Catawba township, was in York
vile last Tuesday on some business
before the probate court, and while he
was here a representative of The En-
quirer took occasion to ask him how he
was getting along with his road work.
The question was: Now that you
have had your big power road machine
for two years, and had good opportuni-
ty to form an estimate as to both
economy and effectiveness, do you still
think the machine is such an invest
ment as you would be willing to make
over again, provided you were con-
fronted with the proposition in the
light of your former experience?"
Mr.. Leslie said he was thoroughly
well satisfied with the machine and the
work that had been done with it, He
had been over most of his roads four
times within the past two years, and
still had about five miles to go over
for the last time this year, and there
was no question of the fact that all
the roads were in much better condi-
tion than at the beginning. He said
that Of course woodworking is a matter
of experience and judgment, and that
TO secure the right kind of improve
ment is to note and do just what may
lie needed.
Although the proposition was not
elaborated in detail, Mr.. LESLIE threw
out this general idea as to drainage.
Wherever the soil has a good deal of
sand and pipe clay, the road bed
should be high and the bitches deep;
but in red clay soil the road should be
flatter and the bitches shallower. He
said that where red clay was thrown
up too high, the tendency to erosion Is
greater than when the roadbed is fiat
ter.

The Herald and News of Newber-
ry, which is generally sound on mat
ters pertaining to education, advocates
the abolition of tuition charges in all
the state colleges mainly on the
ground that 1T Is not only an evil, but
1t offers an inducement to many peo-
pie to make false statements as to
their financial ability in order to save
the pitiable tuition that they have to
pay for their boy or girl entering col
lege." The editor also advocates the
abolition of free scholarships practical
ly for the same reason. We take issue
with our contemporary. Those who are
able to pay tuition for their children
should be made to do so. II. as t.,
Herald and News says, parents make
false statements to get their children
in Clemson, they perpetrate a serious
offense and can be punished for per-
jury. We have heard the same COM
plaint made as to Winthrop college. l;
is said that each year many girls arc
given free tuition at that institution
whose parents are abundantly able to
pay for it, but who have sworn falsely
in order to get the benefit of some
thing like $40 or $50 in the way OF
free tuition. There Is n way to correct
this outrage and 1t should be done at
once. Our recollection of the law Is
that besides the sworn statement of
the parent or guardian, the county au-
ditOr furnishes q certificate showing
the kind and value Of all property
owned by the applicants parents. Rut
the present law falls short of correct
ing this evil 1t should be amended so
as to correct it.-Lancastcr News.
The proposition here discussed is to
say the least, important. and the mat
ter is badly in need of more equitable
regulation. We are not prepared to
agree to the abandonment of free
scholarships. because we consider the
principle of especial value as means
OF bestowing honor where honor is
properly due; but we do not see a
great deal of justice In the practical
operation of the free tuition principle
under present regulations. General
disregard of the law that undertakes to
