School Reorganization.

reflected lasting credit upon the old
mother county, has from the day
the announcement was made that
the S. C. C. l. would leave Edge

Edgefeld Establish the best school
that it is possible for them to have.
1t has been his deep and abiding in
terest that caused Mr.. Tompkins to
enclose the following pertinent and
timely article in a letter which he
wrote his brother, Mr.. Arthur S.
Tompkins, a few days ago:
1t has been proposed that the

Keeping Clean For Company.


From the Woman's World
They've washed and brushed me and
combed me
Till I'm just nearly worn away,
Then made me sit down on the sofa,
And there have got to stay.
They say that we're goin' to have com.
pany-
What do they think care?
So mustn't move lest | tear NY
dress,
Or muss up my nice neat hair.
Flossie and Alice are playing out,
doors
While sit like stick of wood;
And l don't even dare to wiggle my
toes,
They'd raise fuss if / should.
Seems to me sometimes that grown-ur
folks
Haven't got as much sense as they
might
What do they want to have company
for
It's nothing less than fright.
When I'm grown-up lady for sure,
III never have company, you'll see.
So won't have to wash or to comb
my hair,
What gorgeous time that will be!

know all about the domestic house
hold. Then hunting cheap jobs
would disappear, and boy would
enter into important activities. as
he entered into plantation life be-
fore the war. Then also if the cook
did not turn up in the morning, the
daughter or the house could get a
breakfast that would shame the
cook, as the planters son used to
show a darkey how to harness
mule, or do any other practical
thing on the plantation.
The modern southern education
wants to qualify the modern south
ern boy and girl for the activities
of life, the same as the planters
son and daughter were well qualified
for the plantation life. When this
is done, the same success will be
attained for the people as was at
tained in the 10Th century by the
planters son and daughter. Com
petence makes life seem easy and
pleasant. II was not so much the
conditions that surrounded the
plantations that now makes as look
back OF it sometimes with regret,
but it was the competence that
lived in that time to do the duties
of that time. What did it mat
ter to the competent planters son
whether there was negro avails-
BILE to drive a 6-mule team. The
planters son could drive the g.
mule team himself when occasion
required. but in many cases today
the boy -annot make a gallon of
cotton oil, or yard of common
white cloth. The modern educa-
tion must be 9Oth century educa-
tion If it is AS effective az the 10th
century education was effective.
Yours truly,

departure of the co-educational in
stitute from Edgefeld.

departure of the Go-educational in
stitute from Edgefeld.
A suggestion has been made that
the new system be made thorough
ly modern, and that it include, not
only scholastic and literary in
structions, but vocational and in
dustrial and agricultural tlaining as
we'll. 1t has been said that all this
can be done with the same money
to run it az it would take for
scholastic school only.
The Goth century idea of educa-
tion includes both teaching the mind
and training the body. 1t includes
some measure of apprenticeship in
the practical operations that sur
round the school. Here in Edge
field, pains will be taken to teach
in and ont of the school, agricul-
ture, the manufacture of cotton oil,
the manufacture of cotton cloth.
Also domestic science. In this way
the boys and girls of the communi-
ty accustomed themselves to the ac
tivities of the community. This is
exactly as it was during the planta-
tion days. A boy or girl went to
school to have scholastic and litera-
~ accomplishments. On the plan
tation they were in a natural en-
vironment Of practical instruction
and training in the activities Of
plantation life. They learned every
phase of planting and making cot
ton. They learned the peculiari-
ties of the accomplishments of
mules, of dogs and guns. They
knew how to raise corn, and going
further they knew how to raise
hogs and meat. They knew the
economies of all the things on the
plantation, anu the consequence was
by the time a bog was lt or IS
years old, he was not only pretty
we'll educated, but he could nun a
whole plantation. When he chose
to 90 to college and came hack at
81 or %, he was an accomplished
practical and educated planter. He
was at the same time, whenever he
chose to enter politics, statesman
and not a politician. In having a
practical training on the planta-
ton, his college education did not
become handicap. This was the
18th century education par excel
lence, and surpassed any other kind
in the United States. The young
man who had graduated from the
plantation and then from college
could not well be embarrassed with
anything. 1t was easy for him to
get into his life work and easy for
him to handle it after he got in it.,
because he had been preparing for
it since childhood.
There is a Goth century education
which is similar, but many southern
localities have never gotten intoit.
As an educated southern school boy
used to know ell about blowing, 40
| in this goth century he ought still
to know about plowing. But he
ought also to know about cotton
seed oil and cotton yarns and
cotton cloths and manufacture Of
machinery, and the girls ought to

The American girl consumes $4,000.
600 worth of candy yearly. The Spa's
share in this large sum is getting larg-
er every year. You won't have to iog
your memory very hard to remember
when candy worth the name cost al.
most double what it does there. The
proprietors, Messrs. w, T. Stolz and F.
g. Myers, have revolutionized prices
and standards during the 20 years they
have been in business at the same loca-
tion-and they have reason to be a lit
tie vain of the quality and success of
their own make of candies, of which
they have over 100 different varieties.
Their ice cream, sherbets and frozen
custards are delicious. Delicious is
strong word, but it is diluted praise
when applied to such toothsome delica-
cies. The thoughts of the good things
to be had there is almost equal to real
i7ation.
There is such vast difference in
candies-such a variety in quality and
price that it is hard to tell when you
are getting good candy until you have
paid for it. That being the case, that
is why the Spa is so careful to have ev-
cry piece of their candy good fresh and

HIS DECISIONS SUSTAINED.

- T STRIKES US that those who hope
to override Judge Galloway's s de-
cision in the referendum case, in
which he holds the calling of the
special election unconstitutional
are doomed to disappointment. The
case is so fully analyzed, the points
made so plain, and those points all so
fatal to the law that it does not seem
possible the supreme court can do 9th
erwse than affirm his decision, if it
ever gets before that court for action.
Judge Galloway is not disposed to
split hairs, to pay undue attention to
small technical niceties, to distinguish.
ing by seconds between the south an l
southwest side. He has the rather rare
old fashioned idea of injecting gool
common sense into the law and getting
therefrom the proper mix.
His ruling sustaining the railroad
commission in its suit with the p. r. l..
& p. Co., was considered not law, by
many eminent attorneys, but both the
state and United States supreme courts
sustained him.
His ruling in the Bayocean Port suit,
very important case and involving
some nice legal points, was sustained by
the supreme court Tuesday, as was the
case from Tillamook of James Hughey
against Herman Smith, one of the most
important cases in some respects, before
the supreme court this year.
In fact Judge Galloway has knack
Of making two added to two, bring a
total of four, and he certainly has the
little sum in arithmetic presented by
the referendum case added up so that
the total is absolutely correct.
